THE M|NEWORKERS
ARE INDICATED

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. To-
When the International Convention
of the United Mine Workers of
America, held in this city, approved
the action of the International Off
cials in accepting President Wilson's
proposition for a settlement of the
soft coal strike, the first step was
taken by the miners for the final
termination of that contest. The
scene now shifts to the Soft Coal
Commission, created by the Presi-
dent, to investigate and decide all
of the questions involved in the bit
luminous coal controversy. Prepara-
tions have been made by the United
Mine Workers to present their case
to this commission, together with
full information and complete data
relating to all of the questions in
volved. There will be a hearing
before the Commission in Washing
ton on Monday, January II, and
the miners will present their case
to be supplemented with addition
al facts and statistics as the inves-
tigation progresses.
The decision of the convention
was a full vindication of the Inter-
national Officials in the policy they
pursued and the course which they
followed in handling the coal strike.
They had the support of the entire
conservative element in the conven-
ton, the only opposition being voic-
ed by a small minority of radicals,
who failed to convince the delegates
that the Presidents proposition
should be rejected. Practically 80
per cent of the votes in the con-
vention were cast in favor of ap-
proving the action of the officials
in accepting the Presidents pro-
position.
"It MEANS" said John l.. Lewis
acting president, that the United
Mine Workers of America is an
American institution that believes
in and upholds American ideals
While the strike was on we were
branded as un-American and as bru-
tai men seeking to freeze women
and children. The public mind
was inflamed by such false charges
and coal miners were discredited by
public sentiment. But | believe
that the American public now un-
derstands the coal miner better
than it did a few weeks ago. 1t
has learned that he is not the brute
that he was pictured, but that ne
is a good American citizen,-a bet
ter American citizen, in fact, than
those who would traduce him. All
we ask is a square deal and chance
TO live as American working men
should live. | believe the American
public is willing that we should
have a square deal. 1t shall be our
purpose to lay before the President
Commission the facts upon which
we base our demand for better con-
ditions. and we have a right to de-
mand that the pledge of the Presi-
dent that full justice will be done
the coal miner be carried out. We
could not and do not ask for more
than justice"

BOY SCOUTS USED
BY ASSOCIATED
LABOR BA|TERS
(Union Record Everett Bureau

CUnion Record Everett Bureau
EVERETT, Jan. 10.-Klinton w.
Kelly, Executive of the Boy Scouts
of America, the other day issued
an order that members of the Boy
Scouts must stop selling and deliv-
ering the Union Record or be sus-
pended from that organization.
When George Francois, who is
the son of one of Everett's Union
Plumbers and who handles a Union
Record route here, was told of the
order by one of his fellow-news-
boys, he Immediately went to Mr..
Kelly's office ad asked him if there
was any truth in the report. Mr..
Kelly said that the report was true.
When George asked him on what
grounds he took this stand MIR.
Kelly said that the Union Record
was not a representative paper of
organized labor. He further stated
that the Record was un-American;
that it supported the l. w. W.; that
if roganized labor allowed the pa
per to go on and did not get rid of
their foreign agitators organized
labor would be crushed.
He went on to say that the News
bows Organization of Seattle refus-
ed to sell the Union Record and
that he would bet George a dollar
that any man selling the Union
Record in Seattle today was not an
American Citizen. He claims that
they are all foreigners.
Mr.. Kelly told George that he
would give him one week to de-
eide whether he would continue to
sell and deliver the Union Record
and thus be suspended from the Boy
Scouts, or would continue to hold
his membership in the organization
He told George that if he would
discontinue selling the Union Rec
ord he would get him employment
= doing honorable work.
Brave little George told Kelly
to that he stood for a principle and
: so did not need a week nor day
to make his decision. He would
continue to handle the Record but
would have nothing more to dc
with the Boy Scout organization
He sold his suit next day.
The boy left the office under
the impression that himself and
his parents were branded by the EX
ecutive of the Boy Scouts as un
American whereas, they have al
ways done their part as 100 pei
cent Americans.
George Immediately reported hi
interview with Mr.. Kelly. His
mother, Mrs. Viola NJ. Francois
circulating-manager of the Unior
Record. hardly able to credit some
of the statements, called on Mr.
Kelly to have him verify his re
marks. He not only verified them
but made more statements to thu
discredit of Labor's Daily Paper.
Since that order was given thre'
other boys have dropped the Bo.
Scouts and sold their suits. on
of the boys stated that he knew
from the attitude of Mr.. Kelly tha
the Boy Scouts would eventuall'
come to this.

tions of wage-earners organized not
for profit
Government by injunction has
grown out of the perversion of the
injunction process. By the misuse
of that process workers have been
forbidden to do those things which
they have a natural and constitu-
tional right to do.
The injunction as now used is a
revolutionary measure which sub
stitutes government by judicial dis
cretion or bias for government by
law. 1t substitutes trial by one
man, judge, in his discretion, for
a trial by jury. This abuse of the
'injunctive process undermines and
destroys the very foundations OF
our free institutions. 1t is sub
versive of the spirit of a free peo-
pie working out their destiny in an
orderly and rational manner.
Because we have reverence for
law. because we believe that every
citizen must be guardian of the
heritage given us by our fathers
who fought for and established
freedom and democracy, by every
lawful means we must resist the
establishment of practice that
would destroy the very spirit of
freedom and democracy. Our pro-
test against the abuse Of the writ
of injunction and its unwarranted
application to Labor in the exercise
of Labor's normal activities to
realize laudable aspirations is a
duty we owe to ourselves and to
posterity.
Formerly injunctions issued in
labor disputes were of a prohibi-
tive character. Within the recent
past this abuse of the injunction
writ has been enlarged to include
mandatory orders whereby men
have been compelled to do specific
things which they have a lawful
right to refrain from doing.
We declare these abuses in the
exercise of the injupction writ are
clearly violatiye of the constitution
and that this issue must be de-
termined definitely in accordance
with the guarantees of the consti-
tuition of the United States.
Workers are free citizens, not
slaves. They have the constitution
al right to cease working. The
strike is a protest against auto
cratic management. To penallze
strikes or to make them unlawful
is to apply an unwarrantable and
destructive method when a con-
structive one is available. To re-
duce the necessity for strikes, the
cause should be found and removed.
The government has a greater OBJ
legation in this matter than to use
its coercive powers.
Legislation which proposes to
make strikes unlawful or to compel
the wage-earners to submit their
grievances or aspirations to courts
or to governmental agencies, is an
Invasion Of the rights of the wage
earners and when enforced makes
for industrial serfdom or slavery.
We hold that the government
should supply information, assist
ance and counsel, but that it should
not attempt by the force of its
own power to stifle or to destroy
voluntary relations and policies OF
mutually between employers ana
employees.
We specifically denounce the an
ti-strike provisions of the Cummins
bill and all similar proposed legis-
lation as un-American, as being
vicious in character, and establish
ing bv legislation Involuntary SER

SLIM CHANCE FOR MINERS
 IN SIBERIA

SEATTLE, June 29 (by Associated Press) An American miner stands no chance of getting rich by working placer claims in northeastern Siberia, according to Thomas Tonnesen, who is in Seattle on his first trip out of Alaska in 16 years, for the purpose of buying supplies. Any show of wealth will destroy his chances of success. If he comes to the placer fields with a few pans and a poor mouth, the Siberians will help him along and direct him to the rich grounds. But let him hire a few helpers and he becomes a capitalist in the eyes of the Russian. So long as he does not acquire too much wealth he is not molested.
 At least 800 men have crossed from northeast Alaska, peninsula to Siber- ia, most of them making the journey in open roWboats, MT. Tenneson re ported. The trip from the Alaskan to the Asian side takes about A hours in a row boat, he said.

DESIRE TO SEE WRECK
 NEARLY CAUSES DEATH

UKIAH, Cal, June 29 (by Associat- ed Press).- "A desire to see a train wreck is reported to have led two 12-year old boys of Fort Bragg to wrap a logging chain around the in side rail of the railroad track, one mile from Fort Bragg, Cal, in an en- deavor to ditch the eastbound pas senger train. The engine and three coaches passed over the obstruction safely. Had the chain been wound around the outside rail, the train, fill ed with women and children bound for a picnic on Pudding Creek, would have been dashed into the creek many feet below. The boys confessed that their desire to wreck the train was inspired from a movie film.

ES'TIMATERS OF CARGO EXTENT

SEATTLE, June 29 (by Associated Press) ).-Interpreting cargo signs is the Hast word" in strange jobs in Seattle, and the pay is big, so say those who employ the interpreters.
 Upon the arrival of each liner from the Orient the interpreters station themselves where they can best scan the inscriptions on the boxes and bales unlOaded from the vessel and by careful watching they can tell within a few tons of how much silk, copra, bean oil hemp or other com modities are unloaded.
 Such information is eagerly sought by big eastern firms who pay liberal ly for the estimates of shipments re- ceived.
 When an interpreter runs into big mixed cargo he usually makes a good haul receiving pay from various dealers in bean oil. rope makers, CO., coanut dealers, etc.
 Once sign reader acquires rep utation for accuracy in estimating car go items his services are eagerly sought by many firms interested in imports from the Orient
