Miners Are
After Lewis
President and Members of Ex-
ecutive Board re Asked
to Resign.

Springfield. Ill.,-Fourteen locals Of
have passed resolutions demanding
that President Thomas L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers and the MEM
bers of the international executive
board who voted with him on the COM
promise presented to the Illinois coal
operators, resign their positions in the
union. The move against Lewis ac-
ton started at Herrin. Men here and
at Herrin point out that only a short
time ago the official organ Of the 1lli-
nois Coal Operators association,
.Fuel." declared that only the inter
vention OF the International executive
board of the miners, with Lewis at its
head, and the disregard Of the state
officials of the union would settle the
matter. Lewis few days later enter
ed the Illinois field and with the execu-
tive board prepared a compromise.
which among other things took the
engine and pump men out of the juris-
diction of the state officials of the min
ers and placed them under the power
of the executive board of the inter-
national organization. This was just
what the operators desired, as the call
ing out of the pump and engine men
by the state officials had brought many
of the bosses to time.

One thing that the vote. demon
strated was that the daily papers have
persistently misrepresented conditions
They have claimed that the great ma
jority Of the men in this section we're
willing to go to work and that they
were only held back by half dozen
radicals; that if they (the rank and
file) were given an opportunity to have
their say they would srelegate the
paid officials to the rear and speedily
settle the strike.
Now all the strikers have always
had the power to conduct their af-
fairs. The vote they have taken
would have been possible at any time.
Yet the result of it was far from show
ing a unanimous desire to end the
struggle. Though secret ballot was
taken, La Belle men voted "a to 9
against surrender. At the Aetna
Standard. while III voted to declare
the strike of and 101 to go to work,
it must be remembered that there are
about SO, employees affected. and that
this means that but III out Of GOO
wanted to surrender badly enough to
vote that way.
When the delegate vote at Pittsburg
resulted In tie-ten to ten-President
McArdle refused to cast the deciding
vote. This gives the lie to another
standard complaint Of the daily papers
that the officers of the organization
were keeping the men out. President
McArdle said that he would not de-
eide, that it was up to the men wht
were on the firing line.

Won't Accept
Compromise
Belmont Assembly Contends
for Strict A. F. of L.
View.
WANTS MORRISON
TO STAND PAT
Many Interesting Matters Dis
cussed at Central Body
MEETING.

Secretary Morrison's suggestion at
of compromise in the matter of aff1il-
iation of the street railway employees
was not accepted by the Belmont
Trades Assembly at the meeting Sun
day. The communication from Secre-
tary Morrison of the A. r. of L. was
the result of the sduabble over the
amliation of Local Division, No. 1903
Amalagamated Street and Electric
Railway employees. The Assembly de-
marded the afailiation of that local,
on the ground that its members were
employed in the Belmont jurisdiction,
and Division 1903 offered compromise
by which 1t would pay per capita in
the Belmont body on the proportion of
members working in that jurisdiction
and follow the same plan with the Ohio
Valley Assembly. The latter body
to this, and the Belmont body put 1t
up to the A. F. of L.
Secretary Morrison, in the answer
received Sunday, said that the local
people could settle such matters to
better advantage to themselves than
by outside interference, and suggested
that the proportionate plan seemed to
be a good one.
The sentiment of the delegates, how
ever, seemed to be expressed by Presi-
dent Snyder when he averred that 1t
was UP to the A. F. of L.. President
Snyder said that inasmuch as the A.
F. Of L. had compelled the central body
to let five of their best locals go, be-
cause they were Flints and not aftil-
lated, that it was now up to the A. F.
Of L. to see that the locals here that
were affiliated came in with the Bel
mont Assembly, operating under the
A. F. of L. charter.
MINE WORKERS.
It was brought out that there was
some question in the minds Of some,
as to which State Federation the Bel
mont body was affiliated with, and
that this was the reason some of the
locals did not join the Assembly. The
Secretary was instructed to write
Secretary Applegarth of the Ohio
Miners and Secretary Applegarth of
! the sub-district giving the facts in the
case. It was made plain that juris-
dictional dispute between two state
declarations should not influence local
from affiiliating with the Belmont AS
sembly, for it is the only one in the
lco,lntv. and therefore there is no Ques-
| ton of dualism. ~
PAINTERS TROUBLE
The Martins Ferry painters reported
| that the matter of having the paint
| ing work on the pubic schools by
union labor had been settled satisfac-
torily with the school board. President
Snyder reported that he had been talk
ing with some of the members of the
school boards and that they had stated
| that it was the custom to have petty
patch work on the inside done by the
| janitors but that whenever the union
considered that the work came within
the jurisdiction the matter would be
arranged.
