The United MINE Wofkefs oi
America are demanding nationaliza-
ton of the mines. Golden, Kennedy,
and Brennan, presidents Of three
anthracite districts have presented a
plan to the United States Coal Com
mission which calls for
"a. Completing the retirement OF
the present bonded indebtedness.
(2). Replacing the present invest
ment in stocks by so year bonds
bearing 696 interest.
(3). Arranging for public or joint
ownership and control of the proper
ties as the stock Is replaced by bonds.
The mine workers estimate that
the cost of this fornf Of nationaliza-
ton would average only Is cents a
ton over the next fifty years where.
as today S1.40 per ton Is being paid
to the capitalist. The plan In its
present form leaves much to be de-
sired, however II Is a long step In. the
right direction taken by the member
ship of the most powerful unnionized
group of workers in the basic indus
tries. The coal miners are already
on record in favor of a Labor Party.
Naturalization of mines will be OF
value to Labor only IL accompanied
by a powerful political party OF the
workers.

Fsrmer-Labor Party Conference.

Interest is growing in the coming
July conference called by the Farmer
Labor Party for tina organization OF a
Labor Party. The latest reports are
that local unions all over the country
are sending in credentials and that
the rank and file of the American
labor movement will be represented.
The farm organizations are showing
equal interest in this opportunity 10
achieve the unity between the two
great sections of the American work
ing class-the workers and farmers.
The eyes OF the American Working
class win be turned toward Chicago.
The hopes of the workers lie IN a
Political Party Of their own which
will be able to lead them on to a
Workers Government.
