Lewis's jurisdiction for the past year. The
report showed that the work of Vice Presi-
dent Lewis has been of the most thorough
and commendable kind. At the beginning
of last year Mr. Lewis was placed In charge
of the department of organization and di-
rected this work. The following excerpt
from his report shows what has been done
along this line
Il took charge of the new department
about the first of May, and have devoted
as much time as my other duties would al
low to directing the work of extending and
perfecung the organization.
There were employed regularly during
the year over sixty organizers, In addition TO
the national board members, all of whom
were required TO report at least once eacn
week.
I'm extending the organization in some of
the mining districts of the country MANY
obstacles have been met In a few In
stances the organizers have been assaulted
by men who were alleged to be in the en-
ploy OF the operators. In a few mining
districts the organizers have been driven
out by force and threatened with bodily
harm II they returned.
with all the antagonism of the mine
owners in some districts and the many OBJ
stacles 10 overcome, the organization has
grown and prospered to a remarkable de-
gree as will be shown by the reports OF
my official colleagues.
Since | have had charge of the work of
directing the organizers it has been my
aim to establish uniformity of expression,
action and purpose among those In the field
who represent the United Mine Workers of
America.
I'VE have to-day the largest paid force Of
organizers of any labor organization in the
world. 1t has occurred TO me since serving
you in an official capacity, and especially
emphasized during the last year, that some
thing more will be demanded from the or
ganizers and from all interested in the work
of organization, than the mere act of per-
suading those who are in and those who
may come in, the benefits that Will accrue
from united effort.

SI2, 900 WEEKLY FOR
THE STRIKING MINERS
Immense Amount of Money Nee
eSSary to Prosecute Fight
Against Operators.

Some idea Of the immense amount of
money necessary to carry a strike can
be gained from the statement that the
United Mine Workers have appropriated
the sum of $4,000 weekly, to be used in the
fighting of the operators in the southern
fields of Colorado. This sum is sent the
striking miners each week and even its
proportions are hardly sufficient to cover
the costs that accrue each week from the
strike. Together with the strikes in Penn
sylvania and West Virginia, the organiza-
ton is paying out each week approximately
$4,000 as trike benefits. The three most
serious strikes in the union are the Meyers
dale strike. the West Virginia strike and
the strike in Colorado.
1t is believed that the question of strikes,
when IL comes before the convention, will
be referred TO the executive board and that
all matters such as more appropriation,
etc, will be left at its disposition.

incarceration he has prevailed on Charles

Saturday McCulloch went before the Allen

hogs were worth only $40, which made the
crime petit larceny, and the punishment a

IL no small degree of responsibility. Com
mftted to our care are the interests and the

upon ourselves and upon the whole trade
union movement, OF which we form so i'm
portant a part We should keep in mind
that the enemies of labor and the opponents
OF trade uniOnism, as represented by the
Manufacturers Association and the Ciu-
gems Industrial Alliance. are ever ready TO
make capital out Of the smallest indiscre-
ton. and 10 magnify out OF all reasonable
proportion the slightest mistake that trade
unionists make. We should be moderate
in speech and conservative in action,
though firm and insistent upon our rights
as citizens, and the recognition OF our just
demands.
