John L. Lewis used against Alexander
Howat and the miners of Nova Scotia
His latest victim is the well-known
and universally respected miners
leader, Duncan Mcdonald.
But the coal operators cannot al
ways save Harrington from the wrath
Of the rank and file and the main pur.
pose of these articles is to supply the
coal diggers of Illinois with the neces-
sary material to expose this charla-
tan in his true colors and send him
back into obscurity or into the open
service of the enemy, he is now serv-
ing from the Offices Of the Illinois
Miners Union.
Romance Given Cold Shoulder.
In gathering the facts on which this
series is based the DAILY WORKER
disregarded everything except what
could be proved before a working
class court, and what deals with his
relations to the organized coal miners
of Illinois. Farrington's life is inter
esting in many ways, but let DeMau-
PEASANT or Dumas weave the gar
land Of romance around those Incl
dent which have to do with his more
or less unconventional relations with
the opposite sex. We do not care
whether Harrington in this connection
played the role of Tom Jones or a
Herman Pupick We are not writing
a new moral code, but because Far.
rington has betrayed the miners of
Illinois to whom he pledged his loyal
ty, we propose to place him in the
pillory and bring forward every shred
Of evidence at our disposal, that will
make the charges stick.
The material gathered for the pur-
pose Of writing these articles was Sc
cured thru the aid of bona fide mem
bers of the Illinois Mine Workers
Union.
Gas Masks Wanted.
Accustomed as we are to discover
new evidence of perfidy on the part
Of the labor misleaders of America,
yet the writer cannot adequately ex
press his amazement at the panorama
of crookedness that was revealed in
the documents concerning the unholy
work engaged in by Frank Earring
ton while paid to function in behalf
of the Illinois mine workers.
And the remarkable part of the
story is that Harrington was able to
get away with it. Others who had
played the game on large scale were
caught with the goods, but the Parks,
Brindells and Murphys allowed their
greed to get the better Of their judg-
ment. Evidently Harrington was wis
er. than his prototypes in treachery to
the workers.
He Counts the Votes.
How Harrington succeeds in getting
elected has always been a mystery to
the uninitiated, but these articles will
help to clear up that matter The
coal operators are for him one hun
dred per cent and this gives Earring
ton powerful club to use against
those who would like to vote against
him. He also counts the votes which
is a factor that should not be sneezed
at, as any labor leader could testify to-
In fact, during his campaign for cleo
ton he often makes the statement:
Il don't give a God damn whether
