April 1, was pledged to Alexander
Howat and other expelled Kansas
miners of the United Mine Workers
of America by. the Illinois delegates
y to the unions convention that refused
to consider Howat's appeal for union
reinstatement.
Came as Climax
The pledge, given unanimously by
the Illinois delegates came as CHI
max to long meeting that was mark
ed by several speakers severely con-
demning President John i. Lewis
and other international union officers
who expelled Howat and his follow
ers on the ground of refusing to obey

strikers return to work. ~
President Frank Harrington of the
Illinois district, told the delegates that
Howat was expelled fol" opposing the
Kansas industrial court and he assert
ed mo greater outrage wasfever prac-
ticed than that of international OIL
GERS against the Kansas miners"
Further, Mr.. Harrington asserted
that international officials planned to
restore autonomy for the Kansas dis
trict next month under a new consti-
tuition that would prevent Howat from
regaining union membership for five
years. He explained it was necessary
to limit the pledge of financial aid to
Kansas to April 1, because Of the

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 2o.--Re-
.newal of the demand of union coal
miners for six hour day and five
day week, a proposal that, was made
before the 1919 strike, was adopted
Saturday by the convention of the
United Mine Workers of tAmerica as
a part of the policy the union will
seek to have included in new wage
agreements, effective April 1. This de-
mand had the united opposition Of the
unions leaders, including all district
presidents. ~
The convention action for the
shorter working day. however, was
. the only radical change in the wage
policy proposed by the unions scale
committee, which centered the un-
IONS policp proposals toward retain-
miners, and gaining increases for an
thracite workers under, threat Of a
general strike. The strike and wage
proposals by the committee were
adopted by overwhelming votes. Il.
The strike declaration, however,
provided for its subm ission to refer

before any walkout is ordered by Off

In declaring for the six-hour day,
the delegates overrode the COMMITTEES
recommendation for an eight-hour
day under ground and also voted
down a proposal limiting actual work
time to seven hours a day. 1.yf
Bitter criticism of the unions Off
GERS was made by delegates in urging
adoption of the six-hour day., but sew

for favorable action on the commit

how the Governor can find so much

sible in tho administration of the

abuses that crept into the administra-
tion OF the Workmen's Compensation
Act under my predecessor in office.

priations to permit the commission to
function properly. This was agreed TO

''Day OF Reckoning Here"
MT. Smith continued:
ut would not take very much argu-
ment along that particular line to con-
vince the reoplc of this section OF the
State that the Public Service Commits
sion In this part of the State leaned TO-
ward public utility corporations. You
have had in New York a practical ex-
preston OF this when his Public Service
Commission. for the first time In the
history of the state, made a retroactive
order affecting the price of gas which
had for its purpose the return TO the cor
porations serving light of more than
half a million dollars npounded By the
court t-That is a service 10 the utility

After repeating other arguments
against the present Administration used

reckoning had come.
"A man cannot live one kind of life
and receive credit for another" he de-
ciared, "a man cannot give one kind of

and I have not any doubt at all about
what it will be.
"Devoted to Corpora tions."
1--WE like to take in serious vein
anything urged or suggested by our
Chief Executive. but his attitude is
undoubtedly an imposition upon our
good nature. Where there Is smoke
there must be fire What therefore, Is
the meaning of this popular uprising
against the Governor In ali OF the great
centers of population throughout the
State? Cities in the northern part
of the State which In past years
have been safely counted In the Repub-
lican column have abandoned heir
support of the Governor. The leaders
of his party are struggling TO make a
showing sufficiently large TO justify their
leadership and freely speak OF the we'll
established fact that they have aban-
doned hope this year. so far as the Re-
publican ticket is concerned.
Nobody can seriously contend that
that is without reason. False propa-
ganda under our form OF Government
may at time arouse one section. but
when all the State stands up there must
OF necessity be behind that attitude OF
the people some deep and underlying
reason.
after two weeks'strip through the
State / have found the reason. 1t is
tho general belief that Gov Miller's
adm 'nstration has been devoted. SO far
as ho could direct 1t. to the promotion
OF the welfare and the interest OF great
corporations rather than of the rank
and file of the people themselves.
Scarcely any act witty of the State can
be referred TO without finding some
governmental favor extended to the
small groups whose Ideas and thoughts
have some selfish reason at variance
with the wishes and deires Of the mass
of the people.
