Lunch In Dirty Basement
In the basement is a recreation
room where many of the children eas
their lunch on cold days. The floor
was covered with scraps of paper and
remnants of food. The walls, once
painted white and red, are filthy with
grease. From the garbage can in
one corner rose terrible stink. A
bench ran around three sides of the

approximately Tnree hundred dele
gates stood up in behalf of the Nova
Scotia miners.
The debate revealed the total
lack of class consciousness on the
part of the administration leaders.
Never was there word uttered in
condemnation Of the brutal action
of the British Empire Steel Com
pany by the Lewis supporters. They
had no protest to make against the
use Of soldiers, police and armed
stool pigeons. No, their wrath was
reused against the violation of the
sacred contract which was stained
with the blood of the steel slaves of
the British Empire Steel Company,
the same pirate concern that the
miners of District 26, were toiling
for. The Lewis machine almost wept
tears over the dangers to property
involved in allowing the water to
seep into the mines of this company.
Think Of it, Millions of dollars worth
of wealth belonging to the capitalists
might be destroyed What of the
steel slaves, the brothers of the min
ers who were dubbed and bayoneted?
Let them suffer, they were members
of another union and solidarity in the
eyes Of the Lewis machine means
solidarity with the capitalists and not
with the workers.
White John L. Lewis was prancing
back and forth on the stage at Tom
linson Hall and being applauded by
the capitalist press for his success in
holding the radicals in check, jim
McLachlan was behind the bars in a
Canadian prison for defending his
class at the expense of his freedom
and Alexander Howat was preparing
to face grievance committee of the
convention for similar conduct in
Kansas. The defenders of the money
power versus the defenders Of human
rights and the rights Of the. working
class!
The debate on the report of the
resolutions committee was continued
from the previous afternoon session
Alexander Mcintyre was the first to
take the platform and read docu-
ments to support his contention that
the deposed officials of District &c,
fought relentlessly against accepting
a wage reduction.
He was followed by John P. White,
former international president and
dollar year patriot during the war
while the miners were paying him
his salary. His speech consisted
chiefly in a eulogy of himself and a
sketch of his life from humble sur
roundings to his present prosperity
of which he boosted. His language
was cautious and perfectly "sane."
He declared he would be derelict in
his duty did he not come to the as
sistance Of his friend, John L. Lewis,
whose acts were criticised. He de-
nounced Jim McLachlan and his as
sociates, and urged that the conven-
ton continue to support the con-
servatives of the present administra-
ton.
Delegate Joe Morris, president of
District 13, and a former radical, in
fact was elected in Iowa, because of
his radicalism, outdid the old line re-
dictionaries in heaping condemnation

Standardization of salaries"
"You think that, the base salary
plus the bonus In the field services
Is fair and just rate Of compen-
sation and that that presumption
should govern department heads in
making allOcations?" Lehlba c h
asked.
IT never made that statement, y
Graves replied.
Graves explained that he issued
the statement merely as means Of
securing rough estimates from the
departments as to their needs for
lump appropriat for field serv-
Ice salaries for 1925. He stated that
the classification board did not have
time to furnish such q list within
the time limit set by Congress.
The bureau OF the budget, there
fore, reached q decision to include
the compensation for the field serv-
Ices as lump sum appropriations in
its estimates for 1925, he said.
THAT was no Business of ours
and the personnel classification
board had nothing to do with the
matter"
"That was not your business
Lehlbach interjected heatedly. 'sYou
were doing that sort of work. Some
body had to do it and Congress In.
tended that it should be done by
the personnel classification board. q
Graves refuted charges that any
action of the Board with regard
ito the field service had been illegal.
He claimed that Congress had given
the board authority to determine to
what extent the field service should
follow the principles ana rules laid
down by Congress for the District
Of Columbia. He read a long state.
ment prepared by the Department
of Justice substantiating this claim.
The Department Of Justice opin'
ion concluded with the following
statement:
1--WE find nothing in the actions
of the Personnel Classification
Board for any statement of policies
which cOntravenes in any way any
provisions of the classification act
Of 1928"
Lehlbach then questioned Graves
as to whether he had had any part
In the authorship Of this opinion
Graves denied that he had. Lehl
bach then pointed out striking
similarities between the prepared
statement Graves had presented the
committee and the Department OF
Justice opinion.
ibid you or anyone in the Blu
reau of Efficiency furnish the in

Justice on which its opinion was

General is pure condolences"
