For First Time Miners Will
Not Ask For Higher Wages

with it, however, have promised, it is
said, to try and make it an issue in the
convention.
The recent verdict rendered In the
Federal court for the Western District
of Arkansas against the United Mine
Workers for 100000 for alleged viola
ton of the Sherman-Anti-Trust law.
and the pending appeal of the case to
the higher courts, probably will be dis
cussed by the convention. Officials Of
the organization say it is likely no
move will be made to obtain new legis-
lation by Congress exempting trades
unions from the provisions of the anti
trust law until the validity of the Clay
ton Antitrust law is determined by
the United States Supreme Court.
Another federal court decision
which is expected to receive attention
is that Of the Supreme Court in the
case of the Hitchman Coal Company
VS.. the United Mine Workers and the
Flint Glass Workers Unions, perpetual
ly prohibiting the two organizations
from trying to persuade employees OF
the company, to affiliate themselves
with trades union. 1t is said that
possible action in the case will take
the form of an effort to obtain rem
edia1 legislation. It is not unlikely
that national legislative committee
will be appointed before the close of
the convention to carry the issue to
congress.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 1.-THE
twenty-sixth consecutive and the third
biennial convention of the Unitel Mine
Workers OF America. which convenes
here Tuesday is looked forward to by
miners as one OF the most important in
their history. Numerous vital ques-
tons affecting the immediate and fu-
ture welfare Of the organizations will
claim the attention Of the 1900 or
more delegates expected to be present.
1t will be the first time in twenty
years, it is said. that no general strike
is in progress at the time of the con-
vention.
Since the last biennial convention.
the organization has grown in mem
bership from 235,156 to 405,O25 in Oc-
tober. Union officials say the exon
Grated members in Alabama, Kentucky
and Tennessee will swell the October
membership figures to approximately
various district organizations the
5000. In the last two years the or
ganization also has paid back to the
$875,O00 borrowed to conduct the
strikes in Colorado and Ohio.
Hayes is Well Known.
Frank ]. Hayes, of Illinois, vice
president of the United Mine Workers
of America for almost seven years, last
October succeeded John P. White. who
resigned as president to take up the
work Of labor advisor to DR.. H. A. Gar
field, national fuel administrator
John L. Lewis. also Of Illinois, sue
ceeded Mr.. Hayes as vice.president.
Mr.. Lewis is known in many states be-
cause of campaigns he conducted for
the enactment OF laws intended to bet
ter conditions surrounding labor.
The approaching convention is the
first in the history of the union at
which new wage scale will not have
to be formulated. Always in the past,
wage scales have been an important
topic and have taken much time and
discussion. Since the signing of the
scale agreed to in March 1916 the mine
workers have obtained two additional
increases in pay.
Among the subjects which will come
up for consideration is the penalty
clause provided in the Washington
agreement OF last September. This
clause fines those responsible for neg
lect In enforcing agreements. A sim
liar clause has been in existence in the
Central Competitive field, as well as
in Iowa and the southwestern districts
for years. Some miners dissatisfied
