Frick Coke Co. (a United officers of the union.” The agreement is being kept secret thus far by Philip Murray, vice-pres- ident of the U. M. W. A. The captive mine owners interpret the agreement as no recognition of the union. They declare they will treat with the U. M. W. A. leaders as individuals, and not as union repre- sentatives. This seems quite agreeable to John L. Lewis and Philip Murray, as shown by the secret maneuvres with this powerful coal company. In some of the captive mines the workers were forced into company unions. The miners in the captive mines, owned by the big steel, utility and other corporations, carried on a series of militant strikes last summer and fall demanding 100 per cent recogni- tion of the U. M, W. A. The Lewis machine, acting with the coal oper- ators, helped to break the strike. Fin- ally, Roosevelt promised the workers that they would hold elections for union representation. When they elected U. M. W. A. representatives, the bosses now get around it by se- eretly arranging with the officialdom to deal as individuals with the oper- ators and not as members of the union.

C., Feb. 20.— Making the National Labor Board permanent as a quassi-judicial agency, with full power to carry out its strikebreaking decisions through the use of the Federal courts and suppressive powers, Senator Wagner has prepared a bill which will be submitted to Presiient Roosevelt for approval in a day or two, As now constituted, the National Labor Board is an instrument of Roosevelt, which has been extremely effective in breaking strikes by making futile and worthless prom- ises to the workers, The action of the National Labor Board in th Wierton Steel strik in the Philadelphia taxi strike, a1 in the Budd and Ford strikes, have opened the eyes of many workers, Now to retain this valuable scab in- strument, Senator Wagner proposes certain changes. The idea he wishes to convey is that the Board will in the future act “impartially.” Actually it will act with more force against strikes and strikers. It will consist of a per+ manent body of five appointed by Roosevelt and approve by the House and Senate. “What we tried to do in passing the original act,’ said Senator Wagner, “was to give labor equality of bargaining power with the em= ployer class. In some cases it has failed to do that. This bill will go a long way toward establishing @ parity.” With a continuation of this typ of demagogy, on which the N.R.A, was originally passed, Senator Wag CA hopes to rush oecash te b ‘or mal jational (ite a y
