credited. A great renaissance is
needed. This can come only through
great SCATTERING blow dealt at the
old bureaucratic machine. If the
miners will take the lead in this
movement at the next convention.
workers in the other industries will
be encouraged to follow. When
the big revolt took place at the
Maintenance of Way Workers Con-
vention a. year ago, culver ran
through the whole labor movement.
But this organization was on its last
legs and the revolt dissipated itself.
If the miners take the bit in their
teeth, as well they may at the Indian
apolis Convention, the story will be
different one. The old reactionaries
in the labor bureaucracy will find
themselves confronted with a real
struggle. On the other hand, if the
Miners Convention is reactionary
one, it will throw still more dis
couruagement into the ranks of an
already dangerously depressed labor
movement. The coming Miners Con-
vention marks a turning point in the

ganization; it is a cause. It is the
one hope of the rank and file to have
some say in the organization, the one
means by which they will be able to
turn it to their advantage and away
from being merely an instrument for
raising corrupt officials to power.
The fight will be intensified by the
fact that the bituminous agreement
expires this spring and the fate Of
the miners standards of living is in
the balance, with the prospect of a
great strike to defend them looming
up.
The factors are present for a great
rank and file revolt in the Miners
Union. Discomfort is rife in every
district. And upheavel is long over
due. The only way it has been pre-
vented up till now is by the use Of
the iron fist by Lewis. The wave of
discomfort that is sweeping many
unions manifests itself even more
strongly in the United Nine Workers
of America. In the Molders' Union
the membership in the last conven-
ton, demanded general revision Of
the policies of the organization. In
the Maintenance of Way conven-
ton they went much further and
swept out of Office the whole reac-
tionary gang of officials led by the
unspeasable Cradle. In the Min
ers' Union the discomfort mounts still
higher and Lewis will have the job of
his life trying to choke it back at the
coming convention. There will be a
bitter struggle between the forces of
progress and Of reaction.
What happens at the Miners
Convention will be Of the utmost i'm
portance to the whole labor move
ment. The workers are demoralized

heavier and more intense. At the
coming convention many of these
fights will come to a head. One of
the most important is the Howat
case. That is a cancer in tie heart
of the Miners Union. Howat was
brutally and illegally expelled. All
the intelligent rank and file men,
bers realize this and they are de-
handing a square deal for him.
Throughout the whole organization

ception by the rank and file wherever
he has gone to make known his case.

tween the rank and file and the Of

manouvres there of John L. Lewis in
smashing the strike of the coal and

were among the worst exhibitions Of
'treachery known in the history of the

will be made to purge the organiza-

the men guilty of such a crime.
Many other grievances will be
aired by the rank and file. They
see the organization falling to pieces

and Matty did not fight; instead
he remembered that night and the
next day, and every day after that
when he met Big Bell at the boarding
house, at the pool room, or on the
street. Generally he lodged away,
but sometimes the giant caught him
and laughed in his face, or twisted
his ear or his nose. Once he landed
a kick which turned Matty's face
white with pain, but he said nothing,
hoping that the initiation and perse-
cution would soon be over. But it
wasn't; something in the small man,
something about his fine delicate
mustache, his large sparkling eyes,
the tilt Of his black felt hat always
baited Big Bell and induced some re-
mark, pinch, a squeeze, or slap.

On Jan. 22nd the United Mine
Workers will hold their Convention
in indianapolis. Once again the or
ganized coal diggers of the United
States and Canada will meet to legis-
late on the labor problems Of their
industry. 1t will be one of the most
important conventions in recent
years. It's outcome will be of the
gre atest conse9 uence to the whole
labor movement. The eyes of or
gani ed worke everywhere are
turned toward it.
For many years the United Mine
Workers were one of the most
progressive organizations in the labor
movement. They long led the revolt
against the Gompers machine. Every
progressive cause could depend upon
them for support. This was in the
hey-day Of the strength Of the So
cialist Party. But in recent years
the miners organization has lost
much of its militancy. Especially is
this the case amongst the leadership
which, for general incompetency,
autocracy, and corruption, will now
compare with any of the most reac-
tionary unions in the A. F. of L. The
real condition Of the organization is
that the rank and file are genuinely
progressive, while the ofiicialdom are
reactionary to the last degree. It is
an anomalous situation. Practically
all the unions in the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor show a somewhat
similar division Of opinion between
the officialiom and the rank and file,
but in no case is this so marked as
in that Of the United Mine Workers
Of America.
AS the years go by the collisions
between the progressive rank and file
and the reactionary oflicialdom grow

And Matty did not fight; / ste d
his puny strength or the conse-
quences. But the tussle ended in a
moment; Bell caught him about the
waist, lifted him bodily, flung him
across the pool table and spanked
him while the men gathered about to
roar with delight. Finished, Bell
leaned back against the bar and
waited while Matty scrambled from
the table. He would have seized a
chair, but friend pulled him away
toward the rear saying, "You bet
You no fight hem-she strong like

Matty remembered all these insults;

and happy as was his custom, he wor-
ried.

was waiting at the porch when Matty
rounded the corner, the pup frisling
at his heels.
'Ho-ho-ho," roared Big Bell, 'Look
my countryman. Look-two little
dump1ings-yallow dogs"
Matty stopped before him. He
didn't exactly understand what "yal-
low dogs" meant but he knew it i'm
piled scorn.
''You take back what you say of
my dog" he cried. you take hem
back"
Big Bell only grabbed his collar,
turned him about and gave him a
kick. Then he caught the pup an
other blow in the ribs which sent him
yelping up the street. Matty watched
the little pup short way, and then
went inside to sit at the red and
white cheekered table. He drank tive
cups of coffee, and went home with

w Big Bell looked down at
the little man who moved into
seat beside him at the red and white
checkered table, while his elbows
stood out as though to mark his per-
sonal boundary lines.
Matty Hirko glanced at him, an
odd little dignity in his manner, and
disregarding the query reached for
a piece of bread. 1t happened that
Big Bell reached at the same time
and his grimy fingers snatched it
from beneath the delicate, smaller
ones Matty looked at him again
and said softly as though to reassure
someone, "You countryman of
mine?"
"Ho-ho-ho," roared Bell so that
all the table heard and the rapidly
moving forks stopped while the eyes
rolled toward him. His brute
strength caught all the men unwill-
ingly, for this big giant could be a
devil without warning; he therefore
received the suspicious attention one
gives a dog barking and swapping at
his heels.
"Ho-ho-ho," he reared. Hobo

man little runt. Ho-ho-ho- little

No another word did he say until
he finished the meal when he arose

toothpick between his teeth, and then
leaned over Matty to remark as he
thumped him a whack across the
shoulders, Countryman Ell? Polly

And Matty Hirko grinned, only
half knowing whether to laugh or
take offense. Later in the evening he
sauntered down to the pool hall for a
drink. and little gossip with any one
who spoke his language; for he had
lust come to work in the smelter and
he knew only casual acquaintance.
When he entered the hall he saw Big
Bell emerge from the rear door, a
door Matty learned led to a shack
where moonshine was sold by the
drink or the bottle. But Matty didn't
care for moonshine; it was bitter and
when he couldn't find good whiskey
or wine he took soft drinks. Not so

At first Matty would have refused,
for it was white liquor, but some
thing in Bells eyes compelled HIM to
drink. Then Bell drained out por-

time Mattv waved him off quietly.
