adopted by the convention of the
United Mine Workers OF America,
the convention thereby disposing of

agreement, under which the miners
are now working, forbids strikes dur

The convention voted to abandon

to call general labor conference to
launch national labor party, to
have as its object the election of
straight labor representatives to con-

others running only part capacity. ac-
