Mine STRIKES
SWEEP LAND;
$4,000 GO OUT
Hardest Coal Fight
Since 1922

The strike Of 10000 miners
in western Kentucky brings the
total striking miners in the
United States and Canada to
$4,000, according to figures
compiled by the Research De-
partment or the Workers Party.
The $4,000 miners are strik-
ing in fields where the operators
refused to accept the Jackson
vile agreement. States affected
include Kentucky, West Vir-
ginia, Tennessee, Kansas, Ar
kansas, Texas, Missouri, Okla
homa and the Canadian prov
inces.
Winning this great fight is vital to
the United Mine Workers of America.
If the operators are beaten the tide
of the open shop campaign in the
coal fields will have been turned.

NEW YORK, April 17.-Three thou
sand workers in the U. S. customs
service in various ports, or about 40
per cent OF the employees, have re-
signed from National Federation Of
Federal Employees union, American
Federation of Labor, according to
Pres. George Connell, branch X, local
New York;. Branch X recently
withdrew in body from the union
because of the alleged act Of National
President Steward in helping kill the
congressional appropriation bill CIV
ing customs inspectors pay increases.
The inspectors, who get from 81 to
So day, must now wait, perhaps for
years, until the pending reclassifica-
tion process produces a raise.
The National Federation of FEEDER
al Employees covers most of the or
ganized workers in government SER
vices except the postoffice. ConneT
says the average wage for customs
workers is only $500, and that many
have been driven out of the service by

GUHMEN RULE KENTUCKY
BY TOM TIPPETT.

(Staff Correspondent Of the Fed Press)
ASHLAND, KY, April 17.-The non
union coal operators in Kentucky
maintain a private army to fight the
miners union in exactly the same
fashion as the more notorious coal
barons of West Virginia.
A trip up Big Sandy river (Ky)
where the non-union mines are locat-
ed in nowise differs from visit to
Tug river in Mingo county, w. Va,
across the state line. The same
"watchman" law is written into the
Kentucky statute, permitting a legal
" constituted watchman to become
an armed thug bent on killing union
organizers. The mine guard system
is pie for the operators here also be-
cause Kentucky is only partly union
lied.
The miners union has divided Ken
lucky into three organization dis
tricts. District 2S with offices at Cen
trail City takes in the western por-
tion of the state This field borders
Indiana and Illinois and is largely or
ganized. The union has been estab-
lished in that section for many years.
District 80 Is Open Shop.
District 80 with offices at Ashland
covers the northeast and eastern
parts of the state. the union has ne
yer been recognized qcre and all the
mines are run according to the die
tates of the operators conscience" as
one of the operators put it to me.
There are about $4,000 miners in this
section which is called the Big Sandy
field. Organization of the union has
been going steadily on for the past
three years. There are 1000 OF 5000
members of the union here but they
meet in secret and have no contract
with the operators. To have ones
union affiliations or sympathies
known is to be fired at once and
dumped out Of company property.
Wages run from s4 to $3.50 a day.
This territory joins coal nelds in Ohio

LOOT SCHOOL
FUNDS CHILDREN
HAVE NO SCHOOL

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, April H.
Federal Judge Louis Fitzhenry has
named James J. Graham Of this
city, receiver for building material
purchased for a $15o,ooo school
building in EdwardsviIIe.
Graham's appointment followed
filing of an involuntary petition in
bankruptcy against John L. schwa-
ger, Edwardsville contractor, who
contracted to build the school and
then abandoned the job shortly af-
ter work was started.
The petition was filed by build
ing material companies from whom
the material was secured. The re-
ceiver is expected to sell the ma
teriaI to a contractor who will COM
plete the job.
