TRADE UNIONISM IS
 STRONG, SAYS LEWIS
Head of Mine Workers Says Move
 ment Cannot Be Destroyed.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept 8-Ene- mics of organized labor have learned in the last year that organized labor cannot be destroyed, John l.. Lewis, president of the United Mine Work CTS of America, declared in a Labor Day message.
 MT. Lewis asserted that the last year had been filled with trials and vicissitudes for organized labor due to a constant and steady attack 'by powerful interests and influences" but the have learned that the trade union IS legitimate American insti- has given its full approval to the idea"
 Organized labor stands in favor of peace. in industry" he continued. La bor desires that peace which comes with honor and through the applica- ton of the principals of fairness and justice. Labor will do it's part to es- tablish and maintain that kind oi peace.
 'The past year has been filled with trials and vicissitudes for organized labor. A constant and steady attack has been in progress, commanded by powerful interests and influences, for the weakening or the destruction of the labor movement Every con- ceivable weapon and means of indus trial warfare has been utilized by the attacking forces but the flag of trade unionism still floats at the top of the mast, unsullied and unafraid. Labor has lost skirmishes in the past year, but 1t has won the great battle for the maintenance of labor's rights, un- til, today, it is stronger and more ef- ficient than ever before in the history of the labor movement"

A. F. COUNCIL PREPARES @ GREAT REPORT FOR COMING
 CONVENTION AT PORTLAND
Big Changes in Policy Adopted By Many of the Subordinate In- ternatiOnal Unions to Be Discussed at Meet ing.

By International Labor News Service
 New York, Sept. 8.-Reports of in ternat1onal union conventions and of industrial situations throughout the country have just been laid before the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, meeting at Hotel Aberdeen. The principal work before the council is the formulation of its annual report to be submitted to the A. F. of L. convention which opens at Portland, Ore, Oct I. t
 President Gompers, who came to New York from the convention of the Cigarmal1ers' International Union, of which he is vice-president, report ed to the council on the adoption by that convention of proposal to take into the cigarmakeTs' union all work workers The long established prac- tice of having different classes of membership was abolished. George Perkins, president of the union, MT. GomperS and other members of the cigar makers executive council, have sought for 30 years to bring about these constitutional changes.
 Big Changes in Policy.
 Probably no union in recent years has enacted such significant changes in policy as that just adopted by the cigafmakers, under which workers hitherto barred from membership will be taken i'm, the machine welcomed under conditions that protect the workers and the increasing number of women workers admitted to the union. Each union member is now obliged to take insurance furnished by the union to the amount of $Ioo and he may take, upon his own mo- tion, larger amount
 Vice President William Green has laid before the council the full de- tails of the anthracite coal situation and is keeping the council constantly informed. MT. Green is secretary treasurer of the United Mine Work CTS of America.
 Among other matters brought to the attention of the council in this connection is -the increasing popular ity and utility of radio broadcasting. This council has been informed that has permitted the use of its station Fin New York for broadcasting of a. statement setting forth the mine own CTS position i'll the anthracite con troversy., The council is understood to view with satisfaction and great interest the wide use of radio, for entertainment and educational pur- poses, but to have under considera- ton methods by which one-sided propaganda use of broadcasting may be prevented.

LdUoI Lay lIlS year, HHQS the workingmen and women of America at the close of 12 months of steady progress, of peace and of prosperity, but marked by one great loss, the death of Warren G. Harding, our late President, great friend of Americas S toilers. During the more than two years of his service, labor in America made greater strides in steady, con- sistent, material and moral progress than 1t had during any similar period in the history of our country Under his calm guidance, without beating of drums sounding of trunpets, the American workman was led from the verge of economic chaois, to stable employment, record wages, and im- proved conditions. Not since the foundation of the Republic has Amer ican labor, Organized and morgan 1zed, been in a better~ondition than it is on this Labor Day.
 The late President Harding was no visionary, seeking to attain perfection through useless theory He faced conditions as he found them, and in solid practical eve9yday achievement he obtained results for American la Dor. He was my leader and my friend. His memory will ever live in the hearts of American labor for the advances which his efforts brought to the workers of the country He was the first President of this country, with the courage and the vision to approve legislation restricting immi- grafton to this country, thus protect ing the American worker from fore ign, low-wage competition He did this at time when, as he assumed office, we had more than 5000, ,ooo men walking the streets of America seeking employment, in the depres- sion which followed the Great War. By this measure, and by the wise economic policies which he followed, he soon brought the country out of the trough of industrial collapse and out again on the plain straight road of industrial stability.
 It was through his untiring industry and devotion to the ideals of Amer ican labor that this Labor Day finds that archaic institution the I2-hour workday and the seven-day week practically eliminated from the great basic industry of our country, the steel industry. Following his leader ship, the Department of Labor has secured an agreement among manu- lecturers of boxboard looking to the end of the I2-hour day in that indus try. It Is my confident belief that the spirit of. President Harding will continue to fight the cause of Amer ican labor, and that the time is not far distant when no workman in this country will be forced to work more than eight hours day, six days a week There can be no higher ideal for American labor, than President Harding's wage creed, which may well become one of his greatest

CONNECTICUT TO
 BE KEPT WARM BY STATE CHAMBER
Commerce Body to Make Coal Sur vey Which Can Be Burnedif
 Coal Runs Short

Connecticut is certainly to be kept. warm this winter, coal strike or no strike. That's a cinch for the Con neeticut Chamber of Commerce is making a survey of the states coal needs at the request of Governor Temp1eton. Questionnaires are being sent out to coal dealers, nlanufactur- CTS and others asking them about their needs and the survey is to be backed up by the full power of fhe state and state police, whatever that means. At any rate the survey IS go- ing on according to George Vanart, assistant secretary of the chamber.
 The questionnaires aside from be- ing sent to dealers are going also to large public utilities and manufac- turers, who in many cases buy their coal direct from the mines, rather than through dealers. The conn mercia1 gan1zation' 's-+survey, MT. Vanart said, will cover the amount of coal now on hand in Conneeticut, the amount usually consumed during a normal winter, how much coal has. much has been sold, and how much theawinter. The report will be ready within two or three weeks, it is ex- pected
 That's certainly cheering news for in about two or three weeks, if not in fact within day or two, the coal strike will probably be over.
 But in case 1t is not, the survey will be of incalcuable benefit to the populace. All will be. necessary to keep warm is to get a copy of the survey report and if that isn't stuff bad enough to make anyone hot under the collar, then 1t can be burned which will help some anyhow.

]. s. STEEL BOARD
 DISCUSSES WAGES
 OF 1O-HOUR LABOR
Gary Denies Importance of Confer ence, but Says Shift Is Working
 Satisfactorily.

Following meeting of the pres1- dents of the subsidiary companies of the United States Steel Corporation Wednesday in New York with Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board, Judge Gary announced that the sub ject of readjustment of wages re- sulting from the abolition of the I2- hour day had been discussed, but that there was nothing to be made public at this time.
 There is nothing to publish" said Judge Gary, because the wage read justment is going on satisfactorily without serious friction and nothing should be said to disturb the good re lations we have with our men,"
 Wage advances in a number of steel plants throughout the country have already been made effective with the establishment of the eight-hour day. For the most part the unskilled workers are now receiving for eight hours work the equivalent of what they formerly were paid for working 10 hours.
 From other sources it was learned discussion concerned the wages of men whose hours were reduced from I2 to TO- When elimination of the I2-hour day was begun 1t affected 90, 1000 men in all, but a good number had their hours reduced from I2 to eight and received a 25 per cent. wage increase This class was engaged in what was known as continuous pro- cesses Figure were not available yet to show the number of men whose daily working hours were reduced only hv two
