COMP ERS WAKENS
TO LEARN ABOUT
WEST VA. MINERS
Sends Pretty Protest to
Servile Governor
Especial to The DAILY WoRKER)

Especial to The DAILY WoRKER)
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. IL
More than three years after the min
ers Of West Virginia rose en- masse
and marched on Logan County in an
attempt to cleanse that obnoxious spot
Of the gunner and armed thugs who
were preventing unionization of the
field, Samuel Gompers and his execu-
tive council, meeting here, have
passed a resolution calling upon Gov
ernor Morgan of West Virginia to take
immediate steps to prevent eviction
of miners and their families from their
humble homes by private gunner en-
ployed by coal corporations"
Green's Got Gall.
The resolution, curiously enough,
was sponsored by none other than
William Green, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of
the United Mine Workers Of America,
and an integral part of the Lewis ma
chine, which has consistently sabot-
aged every effort Of the West Virginia
miners to establish the union securely
thruout the industry in that state. 1t
is notorious fact that Lewis blocked
every attempt of the locked-out min
ers of West Virginia, who have now
been living in shacks and novels for
years because Of their brave fight for
the union, to circulate the other locals
Of the international organization in an
effort to collect some financial relief
for their starvation conditions.
The latest stunt pulled by Lewis is
his taking over of the entire district
and putting it under the personal SUI
pervision of one of his henchmen,
Percy Tetlow.
Gompers VIII Stay Dragon.
Gompers' executive council adds In
suit to injury by offering the president
Of the United Mine Workers Of Am
erica, John l.. Lewis, the full support
Of the American Federation of Labor
in protecting the West Virginia min
res. Gompers as the protector Of any
group Of workers who are actually en-
gagged in struggle against the bosses
in one of the bitter jokes In the Am
erican labor movement.
Ask Morgan to Fight Morgan.
1t is also considered typical that the
resolution is addressed to Governor
Morgan who is infamous for his con-
slant servility to the interests Of the
banking house in Wall Street which
is headed by the finacier of the same
name, J. P. Morgan, and which con-
trolls the mining properties in West
Virginia.

Centralia on Armistice Day five years
ago.
1.-THE I. w. w. Defense Committee,
working to secure the release OF the
men convicted, have covered the
Northwest with leaflets stating that
the money raised for the Centralia
monument has been dissipated. The
answer to this mis-statement will be
the unwilling of the statue November
IL. The men given the sacred charge
Of raising the fund for the memorial
have kept the faith"
Had the Goods.
Immediately upon learning Of the
Grays Harbor Weekly's announce
ment, James Morris, secretary of the
General Defense Committee of Chi
cago, wrote the editor saying: IF
you will investigate carefully, you
will find that this committee has
never stated anything but the truth
concerning the Centralia memorial
project. Our information, as pub
lished in news service and leaflets,
was based on data which is matter
of court record in the lawsuit by A. d.
Tasker, to whom Jackson's claim was
assigned. Substantially the same de-
tails which we disseminated were
published in the Centralia Daily
Chronicle on May 4, 1924.
Copies of the defense committee's
letter were also sent to the editors
of the Daily World and the Pythian
Record in Aberdeen; the Centralia
Chronicle. and the Bee-Nugget and
Lewis County Advocate in Chehalis.
Not Popular Cause.
This proposed $4,000 monument is
the third to be projected by those
who contend that the Legionaires
killed in Centralia were heroes. AS
early as September, 1921, it was an
nounced in Centralia that bronze
memorial had been sculptured for the
American Legion by e. M. Viquesney
Of Americas, Georgia The Viquesney
design, it was stated, was a figure OF
a helmeted infantryman charging
with a rife in one hand and a grenade
in the other. But that statue never
turned up in Centralia.
Reference was made by the defense
committee in the leaf1et mentioned to
a statement published in the Spokane
Daily Chronicle on February 2, 1924,
in which DIR. Robert Farley, district
commander of the American Legion,
indicated that he would recommend
an immediate investigation of the
committees charges relative to the
Centralia case. One charge was that
Judge John M. Wilson, who presided
at the trial, suppressed a great mass
Of evidence vital to the defense.
Two months and half have passed
since that leaflet was isued, but no
word has come from the Spokane dis
trict of the American Legion that it
has taken any action whatever to get
at the facts. And no reply has come
to letter dispatched to DR.. Farley
in May.

In May the Defense News
Service issued news story
under a Centralia date line tell
| ing of the collapse of the en-
deavor to raise $250,000 to COM
memorate the deaths Of the Legion
aires killed in an attack upon the
/. w. w. hall in Centralia on Armis.
tice Day, 1919.
This collapse had become public
knowledge thru lawsuit filed to re-
cover money alleged to be due to
Frank Jackson of Seattle, who had
contracted to direct subscription
campaign at a salary Of $500 a week
and expenses One-half of this salary
was to have been paid weekly and the
balance when the entire fund of $780,
900 was raised.
Wobbles Exposed Them.
Defending the suit, the memorial
association pleaded that it was with
out funds, and that all of the cash col
lected had been used for expenses.
Leaflets giving details of the affair,
as revealed in the lawsuit, were then
widely circulated by the General De-
Tense Committee of Chicago, being
sent to Legion posts and members
and to kindred organizations in many
parts of the country. 1t was recount
ed that the commemoration project,
sponsored by Col. c. B. Blethen, pub
Usher of the Seattle Daily Times, had
hit the rocks.
Plead For Patience.
Now, however, the Grays Harbor
Post, a weekly published in Aberdeen,
so miles northwest of the tragedy
scene, declares that hero memorial
positively will be unveiled in Cen
tralia on Armistice Day, 1924. But
instead of costing $25O,OO0 as origin
ally planned, the cost will be only
$4,000.
"a memorial to the men who fell
at Centralia before the bullets of mis-
guided radicals was planned three
years ago." says the Grays Harbor
Post. Funds were collected for the
purpose but the amount never
reached the desired proportion for the
memorial planned. Every dollar that
was raised, however. was kept sacred
in fund and has been expended up
on a monument designed and sculp-
tured by Victor Alonzo Lewis, at a
cost of $4,000.
This monument will be in the form
Of gigantic doughboy, on an eight
foot pedestal of granite. On the sides
Of this pedestal will be the portraits,

CHICAGO BARRIERS
Will URGE union
TO ADMIT WOMEN
Biggest Local to Ask
at Convention
10y The FEDERATED Press,

The largest delegation from the
largest local in the Journeymen Bar
bers Init. union will work for admis-
sion OF women BARRIERS into the union
when the convention opens in Indian
apolis, Sept. 8.
Local 54S, Chicago, is sending II
delegates to represent it's 5000 mem
bers. Pres. William Leidig declares
local sentiment solid for admission of
the women hairdressers and BARRIERS.
THE west strongly fayors abolition
of the sex discrimination" Leidig
says. Chicago has 500 women bar
Der shops with 1900 to 1000 women
BARRIERS. Seattle has a very active
well organized body Of lady BARRIERS.
But the eastern locals are against adj
hitting the women. They haven't the
same competition from them that we
have in the west"
A. F. of L. Dodges.
The sex bar was discussed at the
1923 convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, at Portland, and was
referred to the BARRIERS international
as a question within the autonomy of
the craft. Affliation of the lady bar
bers to the Seattle Central Labor
council was one of the charges in the
indictment brot against the control
body by the executive council, A. F.
of L., last year. Seattle dropped the
women's organization as one of the
conditions for retaining it's charter.
The Chicago local will have over
$500 members if it is permitted by
the international convention to take
in the women BARRIERS and if it sue
ceeds in organizing them to the same
high degree as the men. Over SO per-
cent of all men BARRIERS in Chicago are
in the union.
OrientaIs Barred.
There is no color bar against Ne
gro BARRIERS, of whom there are 200 in
