VICE PRESIDENT HEARD FROM.
Mr.. Lewis Reports on the Work Of
OrganfZatiOn.

Vice President Lewis also submitted his
report. His work in organizing in the vari-
Gus districts of the union was described
in his report, and his successes were ap-
plauded. Lewis's recommendations were
for determined effort in building up strong
er organizations in West Virginia; the edu-
cation of the miners there in the belief that
in unionism there is strength and the pos
sibility of better condition, and the neces-
sity for the miners to do something toward
an appeal to Congress which shall restrict
the use of injunctions and partially cripple
this refuge of employers when pressed by
the demands of strikers. He called atten-
ton TO the power of suffrage held by the
miners, and said:
When we remember that we have nearly
one million voters directly engaged in
mining in the United States. and that they
are distributed throughout the country in
such proportions that We may determine
the composition of Congress, we ASK in all
sincerity, whose fault is it If we do not Sc
cure remedial legislation? 1T is our own
Let us burn that In to the minds and con-
science of every mine worker in this coun-
try, then we will get our rights.
IF we expect to secure relief, every la
boring man must act, not by denouncing
the courts or those who issue injunctions,
but to demand of our representatives in
reference to the growing evil of govern
ment by injunction.
Let the Congress of the United States
by law classify cases that are subjects for
the Jurisdiction of federal courts when
issuing injunctions affecting the rights of
members of labor organizations when en-
gagged in a strike.
Have a law enacted that federal judges
can issue injunctions in labor disputes only
on the application or approval of two or
more elective judges. Fix the time within

to reiterate what L said in my report of
one year ago that West Virginia cannot
be organized in a day or a month and IL
we hope to permanently organize that
State it must be a steady and persistent
effort.
1.-The men who will have charge of or
ganiZing West Virginia must be competent
TO do more than organize the mine workers
of that State. They must be able to en-
tighten the mine workers as to the real
purpose OF seeking TO induce them to be-
come a part of our national union
'.Our organizers must be competent to
meet the operators of West Virginia and
discuss intelligently every phase of our
present system OF organization explain
operators of West Virginia will occupy with
those of other States under organized con-
ditions.
II firmly believe that when the opera
tors of West Virginia are better acquaint-
ed with the objects of the United Mine
Workers OF America, and the joint move
ment method of doing business by the oper-
ators and miners, the present opposition TO
the men of that State becoming members
will vanish.
In closing his recommendations to the
miners Lewis said
"A systematic campaign of education
must be carried on TO bring about the
best results In order TO organize our for
egn-speakng mine workers and enlist
them i'm active support of our organization
we must have circulars and all official
documents printed In the foreign languages.

ployed and placed in some OF those dis
tricts having a large number of foreign
