 They assert it Is no secret that there is a good deal of deadwood in the labor movement. Neither can it be denied that there are many Is bor politicians.
 One indication of the unrest which is stirring labor was the uproar which arose at the miners conven tion in Indianapolis Thursday over the question of the officials salaries which were cut very apprecia3ly. The n came proposal to make those officers refund some of the money they had already .eceived-and the officers were supported by an over whelming vote, so overwhelming. in fact. that more votes were cast than the total to which the whole con veDtion was entitled.
 Suspicious of Leaders
 For a long time of course, a iow has been brewing between the Howat and Lewis factions or the miners It has been charged that the officials of the miners would not permit any discussion of proposals for the na- tionalization of mines to appear in the official journal. This has tend ed somewhat to disrupt the orgAniza- tion. There has also, ever since the discovery that a former high official of the miners died leaving a fortune of $250,000 been suspicion of lead CTS and their motives-this suspi- cion has not been allayed by the fact that good many former union cad CTS suddenly blossomed out as of ficers of the mining companies. So unsettled has this practice of shift ing sides become to the miners that

Few retailers, they assert, are making much profit today; and comparative ly few are getting the benefit of present wholesale prices for all they have to sell.
 Such is the overwhelming con- sensus of feeling in the conference Subordinating it's feeling in that re- spect, however, to recognition of the fact that it is to deal with an emergency, the com ference is passing by that phase of the situation as best it can to con slider what may best be done to help provide work for the man who hasn't got it and needs it.

No more gorgeous production has
