MINE WORKERS TO FIGHT ANY
 CUT IN WAGES

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. 23 (by Associated Press) The United Mine Workers of America will not stand for any reduction in wages, according to the December l issue of the United Mine Workers Journal. This policy is stated in connection with a dis cussion of the movement among em- ployers throughout the country for a reduction of wages in the various in dustries. In the article, John L. Lew is, international president of the min CTS union, is quoted as follows
 Under no circumstances will we permit any reduction in the wages of the mine workers of the country. There is not going to be any return to pre-war wages or conditions. Any reduction in wages is an economic mistake. It never produces any good today we are going to hold, and we propose to continue to make pro gress instead of going backward"
 The Journal says in part: Tt is absolutely essential that the union have definite and substantial policy and that the membership shall stand behind that policy in solid phalanX. And the most essential element in that policy for the next two years must be that there shall be no back ward step. The coal miners must not lose any Of the things that they have won through sacrifice and struggle. It is we'll known that there is in the country today a well defined, highly financed and ably conducted move ment on the part of employers op- posed to trade unionism to break down the unions and reduce the workers to the open shop. low-wage system This is one of the greatest dangers that now confront the labor movement.
 "The policy of the United Mine Workers of America on that subject Has Deeu ulduS plttlI tiiu tltdi lo lttN world by President John l.. Lewis. He has said that there shall be no re- duction in the wages of the coal min CTS of America.
 There is the policy of the United Mine Workers. In making that state ment. President Lewis told the world what the United Mine Workers of America stood for. It is the unquali- fled duty of every member of the union to stand firmly behind the in ternatonal officials To stand back to hesitate or to fail to give the in ternational officials full support and cooperation would be an indication of division.

IN DUBLIN ARE
 BEING PROBED

DUBLIN, Dec. 24 (by Associated Press). - Searches for evidence against the promoters of Sim Fein outrages which are conducted by the police or military authorities are among the notable features of life in Dublin They usually take place ill the daytime or in the early morning hours.
 In making them, the authorities had committed some blunders The military motor trucks used to drive stop there while the searchers en- tered the building. The trucks were left in charge of only few men. This proved tempting to Sim Fein attacks which frequently surprised those on guard.
 No risk is taken now. The whole street, no matter what it's importance. is cleared of all traffic for distance on both sides of the suspected house
 
 work without apprehension of being taken in the rear.
 The fact that a house is raided inn plies no reflection on it's owners. Some of the most respected of Dub ! lin Unionists have had their prem ises exhaustively searched. There have been several searches in Sack vile street, Dublin's principal thor oughfare and the starting point or junction of all it's extensive street car system. A raid there meant that the street cars were held up all along the line and thus citizens half mile or more away would learn that raid was in progress While the search was going on, armored cars would dash about and prevent entrance to the area within the line set by the au- thorities.
 The results indicate that the gov ernment at last is obtaining informa- tion.
 An incident which indicates that the government agents are not the only ones who are collecting weapons under the decree that arms must be surrendered occurred the other day l at one of Dublin's most fashionable | clubs. There were two old reVolvers in the club room. The police heard of them and notified the club that they would have to be surrendered. few days later two men appeared and de- manded the revolvers which were sur rendered to them. After they had gone, the club members looked at the the receipt given for them and found it was signed Mutt and Peff."
