Mine Men
Less Plea
President Lewis, OF
Workers, Says Fight
In West Virginia
Must Be Won

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 2o--
No wage reduction of coal miners
must be permitted and the miners
union must make available all the
organization resources to back
up such policy in opposition TO
wage cuts. John l.. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers
of America declared here today in
a forty thousand word report
made to the 1000 representatives
sent from local unions through
out the United States, western
Canada and Nova Scotia.
Would Delay Action
Mr.. Lewis, speaking on the
occasion of the biennial conven-
tion Of the international union,
recommended postponement until
February of the miners adoption
Of definite wage demands. He
declared that with all wage agree
ments expiring March 81, 1922,
"the full influence and economic
power of our great membership
may thus be utilized"
Besides explaining the wage
question, Mr.. Lewis recommend
ed that the convention reaffirm
its declaration favoring national
| ization of coal mines and that
legal proceedings be instituted tc
make a full test of the constitu-
tionality Of the Kansas industrial
court law, which he declared to bt
in violation of the federal con
stitution and vicious attack up
on rights OF organized workers"
The fight in Mingo county
West Virginia, he said, must b'
won without compromise of prin
ciples involved" He expressed
hope the senate committee in
vestigation would "lay bare the
horrors of that field" and pave the
way for recognition of the right
of the mine workers who desire tC
become members Of the United
Mine Workers"
Union Men Rebuked
The convention was formal,
asked to rebuke Robert H. Harlir
of Seattle, Wash, and Frank Far
rington. president of the Illinois
Miners, whom Lewis charged had
circulated false statements abou
the union. The convention wal
also asked to endorse the inter
national board, and submit the
wage question to a scale commit
tee to report back at a reconven
ing of the international union
representatives in February wheI
definite demands might b,
adopted
Criticism of Harlin and Far
rington came in connection Will
the recent Alabama strike.
| Mr.. Lewis declared that Harlir
had sent a telegram Throughout
Alabama asserting union organ
izers were engaged In campaign

IA an early hour this morning a

Indications were that choice Of

the case when Mahoney was ar

body of a woman, identified as
that of Mrs. Mahoney. was found

the difficulty Of selecting jurors.
Mahoney's counsel, Lee John
ston, declined TO indicate prior e
the trial the line of defense h
would follow. Filing Of an insan

his mother shortly before his ar
raignment on the murder charg'
was taken as an indication that az

down in that dirty storehouse and
bring up a story so foul and hateful
that 1t nauseates you. My friend,
you cannot afford to allow your
tongue to wag with evil, scandalous
stories. That same gossip Will act
as rudder to your own soul, guild
ing it into channels as evil as the
scandal in which you dabble.
Gossip is also rudder to the lives
of those talked about. In the classic
drama, school for Scandal we are
shown how people who are entirely
innocent, falling victims to evil scan
dial, may be impelled toward the sin
of which they are falsely accused.
People are liable to do just about
what their friends and neighbors ex-
pect OF them (unless their lives be
sustained and steadied by the power
of God.) If everybody expects good
things of certain person that ex-
pectation becomes a strong impulse
to him to achieve those same good
things. But If on the other hand
everybody expects evil Of a certain
individual, he is liable to accept that
same low standard which the COM
munity sets for him.
The fourth descriptive figure Of
scripture is James BILL, in which the
tongue is likened to fountain, send
ing forth either sweet water or bit
ter. The type Of water gushing from
the fountain demonstrates the nature
of the deep lying vein from which 1t
springs How true and how challeng-
ing a picture is this! Speech is but
the overflow from the deep medita-
tions of our hearts. It's character
shows the character of the soul with
in. If our speech be wholesome and
pure and sweet, it demonstrates that
our life within Is just as wholesome
and pure and sweet. But If our
speech be foul with scandal and evil
tales about others, it publishes a
damaging testimony as to what we
are ourselves, what we are down
there in the secret places of our own
hearts. doth the fountain send
forth from the same opening sweet
water and bitter? Can "a fig tree, my
brethren, yield olives, or vine figs?
Neither can salt water yield sweet"
Neither will pure heart yield
scandal.
What shall we do then? Shall we
cease to talk about folks? No. folks
are the most interesting topic in the
world. And it's right to be interested
in folks. 1t is also right to talk about
them. The whole question is, how
shall we talk? Lets talk about peo-
ple's virtues rather than their vices
Lets run people up rather than run
them down. Whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are honor
able, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, what
soeverf things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there
be any virtue, and if there be any
praise, think on these things" And
may l add, talk of these things"
What happy world it would be If
we would all do SOL
The solution of the whole matter,
Of course, lies deeper. Get right
with God. Let Christ cleanse your
heart and fill you with His holy love
for God and man, and then the over

But let that half the suns upon

This does not mean that we are to
condone evil. Not for minute. But
until Almighty God commissions you
to Judge your fellow men and deal
out Gods punishment to them, you
had better deal gently with them and
leave vengeance to God. Judge not
that We be not judged"
The third scriptural figure we will
study is James 1884, where the
tongue is likened to the rudder of q
ship and the bit in the horses mouth.
Each of these is small instrument
used to guide something which is
large and powerful. How splendid a
smile it is! The tongue is small but
1t guides the great issues In life. The
tongue Is a rudder in the life Of the
one who does the talking. Psychology
tells us that the best way to impress
matter on the mind is to put in into
words and tell it to somebody else.
A teacher never feels certain that his
pupil knows the lesson until he has
put 1t into his own words and told it
back to him. The funny stories and
other matters of knowledge which
come most quickly to your mind are
the ones you have told to others at
some time. Think what a serious
matter this makes of gossip! II you
have the habit of forever and always
talking evil of somebody, consider
what is going on in your own mind,
yes, in your very soul. Your mind
and soul are becoming gradually just
as bitter and just as evil as are the
stories which fall from your lips. The
mind is like ascreen. In the course
Of the day there passes thru this
mental screen stream of impress
sions, suggestions and ideas. When
the days is over, most of these are
gone forever. We will never think
of them >again. They will never be
recalled to mind. But out from this
passing stream we have screened a
few Impressions, few ideas which
will remain with us as part of our
permanent mental equipment. This
is the fact which should make us
think. What determines the nature
of the Impressions we screen out
from the passing stream and remem-
Der thru the days to come? Our in
terests. We will remember the kind
of thing we are interested in, the
kind of things we talk about. The
thing which will catch our attention
is the kind of thing we are looking
for. If we are always looking for
things that are lovely and of good re-
port and beautiful in the lives of
others, at the end of the day we will
have gathered into the storehouse of
the mind golden treasure of such
beautiful ideas. But on the other
hand, II we are ever looking for the
nasty scandalous tale about other
people, and forever passing on such
tales to others, the impressions
which remain with us from the ex-
periences of the day will be of that
same evil, nasty variety. Some peo-
pies minds become like the witches
caldron, filled with snakes and toads
and dead mems bones and everything
that is foul and nasty. Meet them
where you will and they will reach
