Lewis REVOKED
union CHARTERS,
FEARS ELECTION
CGppellini Reported to
Be in Hiding
BY THOMAS MYERscoUcH.
Especial to the Daily Worker)

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Dec. S.
The twelve thousand miners
involved in the strike against
the coal barons, who for months
refused to pay any attention to
their demands for a settlement
of their grievances, are not
frightened by threats of coer-,
cion from the bosses and by the
action of John L. Lewis, inter-
national president of the union,
in revoking the charters of ten
locals.
It is strongly believed here
that the main reason behind
the revocation of the charters
was the imminence OF the cleo
ton for district and inter-
national officers of the union.
Lewis feared the opposition among
the locals affected would endanger
his machine in this district and tell
heavily against his own presidential
vote.
Lewis instructions to the district
officers charges strike leaders with
saying that charters cannot dig coal"
The strike was not the result of
conspiracy" 1t was caused by the
accumulated effect of long list Of
grievances. Miners were refused
work by the Pennsylvania Coal com
pany and actually removed from the
payroll without formal discharge.
Strike May Spread.
There are also eighteen hundred
Lehigh Wilksbarre company miners
on strike. A meeting will be held
today to decide whether the
entire staff of that company shall
be called out Similar action
confronts the Lehigh Valley and
Hudson Coal companies The miners
say that they have sufficient griev-
ances to strike regardless of any ac-
ton they might feel like taking in
behalf of their striking comrades.
The miners have demanded Of
Lewis that a specialf convention be
held. Intense excitement prevails
here. 1t is charged that Cappellini is
in hiding, being too yellow to face the
wrath of the coal diggers. Vice-presi-
dent Isaacs, acting head during Capped.
linis absence, was replaced by Inter
national Organizer Davis, on orders
Of Lewis. Isaacs failed to carry out
Lewis instructions.

John L. LEWIS, Rinaldo Cappellini
~ and other bureaucratic leaders of
the United Mine Workers of America
are enjoying the sunshine of Mexico,
and being entertained by the Mexican
government with Wall Street dollars.
But Lewis is not too far away to rem
der service to his friends, the coal
operators. For several months the
miners in the Scranton, Pa, district
were trying to have their officers take
up certain grievances with the coal
barons. The leaders refused. Finally
the men took matters into their own
hands and shut down the mines.
THERE are twelve thousand of
4 these miners locked in struggle
with the bosses. When Lewis re-
ceived word from the coal operators
that their slaves were in rebellion,zhe
did not inquire if the coal diggers
had any rights on their side. He as
sumed they had not His first action
was to cancel the charters of ten
locals. This relieves John of 10000
hostile votes, and proves to the oper-
ators that his loyalty to them is un-
shaken.
