Uphold Lewis and Rebuke De-
structive Radicalism as Late
Iy Manifested.

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 1.-THE
convention of the United Mine
Workers of America went on rec
ord today against the "one big
union," l. W. W. and kindred move
ments, endorsing President Lewis
sharp condemnation of these radi-
cal tendencies. The question came
up during the consideration of
President Lewis report. A COM
mittee recommendation approving
the action of the international ex-
ecutive in revoking the charter of
the west Canadian miners for join
ing the "one big union" organized
at Winnipeg this summer, was
adopted with only one dissent
ing vote.
1t was stated that 95 per cent of
the seceders were now back in the
Miners organization.
Condemn Rail Heads.
Discussion of the officers re-
ports brought other important
questions of policy before the con-
vention and the attitude and ac-
ton of the international executive
were generally approved. One res
olution condemned the United
States railroad administration for
its dual policy, deploring that gov
ernment agencies, using the power
of their office, should endeavor to
introduce a policy of price slash
ing which would inequitably force
down the wages of miners. The
officers were instructed to use ev-
cry effort to make railroads pay
the same price for coal as other
businesses.
