SEE CLOSE ALLIANCE
WITH RAILROADERS

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 25.-C1ose
alliance between the four million rail-
road workers OF the country and the five
hundred thousand coal miners during the
miners strike called for midnight,
March 81, was apparent today. Action to
be taken by the railroad unions during
the mine strike was problematical.
The general policy committee OF the
United Mine Workers was on record as
having unanimously approved the call for
strike Of coal miners.
Possibility Of concerted action by rail
and mine workers are based on the fol-
lowing significant developments at the
miners meeting here.
John L. Lewis. president Of the United
Mine Workers, obtained the promise Of
w S. Stone, chief Of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, as a rail chief
and citizen" to support and assist the
miners.
Lewis remained in Cleveland to confer
with W. L. Lee, chief of the Brotherhood
Of Railway Trainmen, and possibly off,
cials Of other railroad brotherhoods.
Twenty thousand Norfolk & Western
railroad shop crafts employees announced
a sympathetic strike on the railroad that
Is said TO carry so per cent Of the nom
union coal mined in the United States.
A resolution urging two hundred thou
sand nonunion miners in the United
States and Canada to unite with the
union miners in the strike is on its way
TO tbs mines.
Reports claimed TO have been received
by several members Of the general policy
committee Of the miners, said employees
OF some railroads were planning to re-
fuse to handle cars carrying nonunion
coal.
Sixty million tons of coal viii be on
hand, mostly at the mines April 1. and
will not be available unless it can be
distributed.
More than fifty thousand railroad teleg-
raphers already have ratified the PRO
tectiye agreement" IN which they agree
to support the miners in any wage con-
troversy.

1t is not easy or always possible ap-
proximately to estimate what Henry
James hight have called the large
lucidity OF the Texas condition, even
after spending a week or more in
travel and observation. 1t is absurd
to make any general comment about
the State. 1t would be as II one said
during a shower in Philadelphia that
it was raining on the western hemi-
sphere.
Almost any statement made as the re-
suit Of personal observation in one part
Of Texas would not be true about any
other part. SO what is recorded here
must be taken as relating to TT. Worth
and the country and towns tributary to
tt.
They tell the itinerant observer here,
at once. that they are still in the hole;
they have made a recovery from hard
times only In the sense that they have
touched bottom and hat any farther
movement must be upward. They still

prices they hope TO pay all their debts

country, and both have been hard hit

2 YOUTHS HELD

Police Seek Third Man as EN-
plOyer of Pair at $50
Weekly.

Two 2o-year-old boys were arrested at
.2 o'clock this morning in a raid on
house at 201S North Capitol avenue,
where police found two large stills, as
complete, they said, as any ever found
here. An elaborate cooling system also
was installed on the second moor of the
house where one of the stills was set
up. The other stin was in the attic.
The raid is third on North Capitol ave-
nue. homes in the last month in which
large stills have been found in operation.
Those under arrest gave their names
as Charles Goldstein and Hyman Haspiel.
both of Cleveland. The police are search
ing for third man, Sam Gloger. who is
alleged. according to the stories Of the
two under arrest, to have met them few
days ago and hired them each st $50
week to run the stills.
Haspiel was identified by George
Winkler, Federal prohibition agent, as
local talent" Winkler said Haspiel
lives at S3S South Illinois street. Gold
stein still clings to the story he is from
Cleveland.
The police who conducted the raid
said In addition to the stills, which were
of sixty gallon and twenty five gallon ca
mash and about two gallons of white
mule" in a barrel.
The police said the larger still was
used to make the mule" and the smaller
one to double-d -distill the liquid. This
leads to the belief the operators of the
plant were members of an organized
whisky ring" which helps supply In
dianapolis with white mule"
A twelve-foot copper pipe led from the
smaller still, through the wall, into an
other room, where cold water constantly
passed over and through a double-cuAt
cooling system. An eighteen foot pipe leo

story Of how two women died in the

The following statement written by
President John L. Lewis Of the
United Mine Workers, gives the Off
cial view Of the Union leaders Of the
underlying causes of what Mr. Lewis
calls the greatest strike In history"
BY JOHN L. LEWIS,
President of the United Mine
Workers of America.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 25.-Tf the
United Mine Workers could prevent 1t,
there would be no strike Of coal miners.
We have done everything humanity pos
sible within the bounds Of honor, but
two powerful groups Of operators in
Pittsburgh and Ohio have deliberately
forced the miners to strike. These two
groups Of operators have two objects
In view
First, they want to destroy the miners
union.
Second. the want to stop production
Of coal and thus create a scare among
the people and boost the price of mil
lions Of tons of coal on hand and clean
up enormous profits.
AFTER GOUGE AT
POCKET BOOK.
1t will be a gouge Of the coal con-
sumers pocket book, but that's what
these operators are after.
They broke their contract with the
miners for the purpose Of driving the
miners into q strike. II they had kept
their written agreement to meet with the
miners in Joint conference to negotiate
new wage scale there would be no
strike and no Inconvenience to the pub
lie.
We want the public to remember when
1t is compelled to pay a high price for
coal, that the miners are not to blame.
In 1921 the Union miners Of the country
were employed only an average Of 125
days. Thousands had only fourteen to
twenty-six days work In the entire year.
The average earnings were only 500
This is not enough to support family
these days. But we are not asking for
an increase. We are willing to continue
the present wage scale in force for
another two years, in the hope that there
may be a revival Of business and in
dustry that will afford them more steady
employment They are willing to take
this chance
REFERS TO CAMPAIGN
OF UNEMPLOYMENT.
For many months past, coal companies
In many sections Of the country have
conducted campaign Of unemployment
and starvation Of coal miners to compel
them TO take a reduction in wages. In
some fields coal companies have told
miners they would give them work II they
would accept a reduction to a poverty
level and also withdraw from the union.
This Of itself is enough to sustain our
charge that unemployment and starva-
tion are the weapons which the operators
are using.
We regret the necessity for the sus-
pension Of coal mining. Our men want to
work and earn living, but the operators
are determined that they shall not.
The whole matter is now In the hands
Of the public. More than 600,000 men will
lay down their tools on April / because
the operators refuse to make wage
agreement with them. Men cannot be ex-
pected TO work when they do not know
what they are to get for their labor, nor
the conditions under which they are to
work-Written for the International
News Service.
