ROM OHIO came a despatch yesterday stating that 132 coal miners in Jefferson County had declared they would tear up their union cards rather than strike in defiance of the a Government. % = These men made their declaration and went back to work BEFORE they knew that the General Committee of the miners’ “organization had decided to obey, under protest, the order of the © Federal Court and call off the strike. ‘That inthis and other soft coal districts there were thousands of minérs of the same mind who did not figure in the news there i ‘ig small reason to doubt. | The part these men played in the coal trike and its termination of profound interest to the country. ‘The question how much power they and others like them still } retain to influence the policies and ultimate decisions of higher coun- eils which profess to speak and act for organized labor is the most ; " important one in the present industrial prohlem. _ It has been plain to the public that the coal strike fwas largely brought about by motives which went no. deeper than-a etruggle for “leadership between high officials of the United Mine Workers of Not that the coat miners themselves had no just grievances.

Not that a new and fairer adjustment between the -} miners and rs has not been all along an imperative need. What is clear to the public is that in proposing the methods by * Mi the miners should secure thgt readjustment there was a strong ¥ of politics among union leaders—politics thet counted in large peasure upon the increasing power of the radical element in the ’ organization. The radical element always makes the strongest appeal to the tious Jabor leader because it puts behind him the biggest dynamic and offers him the fairest prospect of some outstanding achieve- certain to add to his prestige. By the same token it encourages ‘to think lightly of such obstacles as laws or the general welfare und to stake everything on promises that he hopes will rouse a suffi- 1 of unjustly treated and not over-thoughtful toilers to Back him in. “finish fight.” ea es EO rt It was this interplay of radicalism, just grievance and ambitiowts Mlership that brought on the coal strike. © The game combination carried Acting President John L, Lewis the United Mine Workers over or through such serious checks as emn warning from the President of the United States and an cial offer to consider the miners’ claims under Federal auspices. But in the end Lewis found he had not force enough behind to'defy the courts and fight the Government. _ » He found it out, beyond question, from a growing sentiment like Sess -which made 182 miners in Jefferson County, Ohio, ready to ‘ up their union cards before, with all their grievances, they would ‘themselves classed among redicals and outlaws at war with the ms and laws of their country.
