GOITRE PREVENTION
IN WESTERN CITIES

Eighty-five thousand iodine tablets
have been distributed in the campaign
for the prevention of goitre in this
state since the first Of September by
the State Department Of Health in
cooperation with the Public Health
League. This number does not include
the iodine tablets used in several ci-
ties where other arrangements have
been made for the treatment, accord
ing 10 DR.. Paul A. Turner, director
of the Washington Department of
Health.
Various cities in the state have in
stituted the treatment, among which
are Yakima, Tacoma, Puyallup, Ed
monds, Ellensburg, Raymond, Sumner,
Hoquiam, Aberdeen, Tonasket, Wapa-
to and Everett. Five thousand tab
let's were sent recently to Sumner
where a survey indicated a goitre in
cident of so per cent. in the High
School pupils and more than 40 per
cent in the grade school students.
Washington is among the states
where goitre is most prevalent ac-
cOrding to statistics compiled by the
National bureau. The preventive
campaign now under way is designed
to help eliminate gOitre in this state.
The plan, which DR.. Turner sug-
gests, consists of giving chocolate COW
cred tablets, pleasant to taste, to
children of school age to supply the
lacking iodine "salt" to the thyroid
gland. Iodine is harmless and, like
salt, is required by the body, he ex-
plains. In localities where iodine is
lacking in natural resources, it must
be supplied to the body in some 9TH
er form.

FACTORY WORKERS
Do NOT GET $1642

According to Clancy M. Lewis, sec
rotary of the Manufacturers associa-
ton, the factories of this state paid
$275, 100000 in wages to $4,000 per-
sons and that the average wage per
person was $1,642.s5 for the year
1928.
According to officials of the state
labor movement these figures are en-
tirely too high. 1t is claimed that
even skilled mechanics do not receive
that much in wages.
In commenting on the average wage
William Short of the Washington
State Federation of Labor, said:
"Most of the factory workers in
the state are women, even mems pay
wouldn't run so Highland certainly
womens wouldn't"
Exact figures were not obtainable
at the Seattle office of the state de-
partment of labor and industry, but
the conviction was also expressed at
that office that estimate made by
Mr.. Lewis was far too high.

THE MINERS CONVENTION By 2EzzHza5z

convention. This group was grad
ually learning to fight with the
communists and, at the close of the
convention, the voting strength Of
this element numbered around 450.
This was demonstrated in the vot-
ing on the election of international
delegates to the Mining Congress
when John Hindmarsh, who fought
with the communists on practically
every issue that came before the
convention, received 449 votes.
It is from this fighting element
that the bulk Of the organized oppo-
sition must come. Under communist
leadership and discipline it is even
now numerically strong enough to
overthrow the present autocratic ad-
ministration, but until the masses
Of the membership are ideo'ogically
in harmony with it, and a sufficiently
large number of lieutenants are
trained to man the union, such a
victory would not be lasting, and
might be disastrous.
The Fight for Leadership
The administration leaders under
stand the miners. The miners are

intensely loyal to the organization.
1t is the big thing in their lives.
1t gives them whatever protection.
they have. They have sacrificed
much for it, and without it they
know from experience that their
conditions of work would be almost
unbearabie.
The reactionary leaders take ad-
vantage of this fact and endeavor
to picture every opposition leader as
an open or secret enemy of the
miners union, whose actions are in
spired by a desire to bring about
the destruction of the United Mine
Workers of America. Such p
charge, delivered in deep sepulchral
tones, to the nineteen hundred dele
gates, has telling effect. No argu-
ment or evidence is needed.
The miners will not tolerate any
leader who accepts a cut in wages.
Therefore Lewis and his gang meet
every attack on their leadership with
an array of figures, tending to show
that they have been instrumental
in securing more wage advances than
any other leaders in the history Of
the union. While. during the fight
against the Nova Scotia miners. he
waves the red flag and sounded the
charges on the Third international
Lewis emphasized still more strongly
the discrepancy between the wages
of the Nova Scotia miners and that
of their American fellow workers.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-02-09

issue Of appointive power versus
election by referendum.
The Khan, which is doing consid-
cradle boring from within" in the
miners union, practically controls
the organization in Indiana, and the
power of election would mean to
them the placing in the field of Khan
organizers, getting paid by the
miners union, and organizing work
ers into the Invisible Empire under
the direction of the Dragon of In
diana.
On every other issue that rocked
the convention the old progressives
never kicked over the traces or ex-
pressed the slightest disagreement
with the reactionary machine. They
can be put down as hopeless and the
radicals must not count on them in
any way. In fact, their acquaintance
with the radical movement makes
them dangerous enemies, much more
so than the consistent conserva-
tives.
The Radicals
The opposition to Lewis at the
convention comes under three gen.
eral headings. First were the COM
munists, who fought Lewis on prin-
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-02-09

ciple, because of ihis social out
look, plus his general conduct. Next
came the radicals, or militants, who
believe in fighting the coal opera
tors, and who are Disguised with the
subservient and complacent attitude
of Lewis toward the bosses as against
his ruthless persecution Of the fight
er in the union. This element is
sympathetic to the communist meg
sage and is excellent fighting ma
terial. Last come those who, for
various reasons, are anti-Lewis for
other reasons, generally of a local
character.
The miiitants lacked sufficient floor
material, with the result that the
few speakers they had spoke oftener
than would be desirable were it
possible to do otherwise. These few
had to take the floor on every ques-
ton where the radical point of view
was at stake. The great majority
of the communist delegates, owing
to difficulties with the English LAM
guage, or lack Of experience in
speaking, were unable to make them
selves heard. and yet they were the
backbone of the opposition and the
nucleus of what will grow into the
near future into the most formidable
ma hine that ever challenged reac-
ton in the United Mine Workers of
America.
The non-communist radicals repre-
scented the largest opposition in the
