Mine leaders regard the action as
an attempt to cause trouble in the coal
fields and to besmirch the good name
Of the union and President Lewis. They
say It is the outcrop Of the revenge re-
sulting from Lewis action In the Alex
ander. Howat case at the Indianapolis
convention. Union men, though some'

of I. W. W. pitfalls.

The operators countered this loss with
the assertion that more men were at

plants showed an average increase, of
ten men per mine throughout the re-
gion. 1t also was pointed out that

while the average service for the older
