PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Aug. "a
John [. Lewis, president; Philip Muir
ray, vlce-presIdent; Thomas Kennedy,
secretsry-treasurst; Ellis searies and
other officials Of the United Mine
Workers union have been in confer
ence in local hotel since Saturday.
James A. German who acted as sec
rotary of the operators and miners
negotiating committee which met in
Atlantic City and failed to settle the
miners and operators differences also
arrived at the same hotel Altho he
said that he was merely stopping en-
route to a North Jersey resort his visit
was looked on with interest.
That he may have brot word from
the operators to Lewis and the other
union officers was considered likely.
The mildest of the theories about his
appearance was that he may have
come to discuss the question Of having
maintenance men stay at work in the
event of a strike.
The mines in the hard coal district
are extraordinarily active with the
threatened strike only one week away
Mine operators are filling storage
bins to capacity IN preparation for the
walk out. This portends long strug
gle is in prospect miners declare. I'm
less their officials back down at the
last minute and accept the operators
terms, thus once more betraying the
rank and file.

In the opinion Of the c. E. G. major

successfully by Comrade Askeli being
SVEN full chance to defend before the

of the Finnish section, his wrong po-

questions of the party, in order that
the convention may more effectively
combat them, and therefore that Com

Exploited Baggage Men
of N. Y. Walk Out

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Eiaht hun
bred baggage transfer men of New
York have determined to let the
trunks take care Of themselves until
their bosses back down in. their at
tempt to impose agwaae cut and until
they are granted an elght-hour day.
The strike is directed against the New
York Transfer Company ard the West
colt Express Company, who together
monopoilze the terminal baggage bust
ness Of the metropolis.
Strike Complete.
The strike is led by Martin Lacey,
president of the Transfers, Chauffeurs
and Helpers Union, an organization
not connected with the A. F. Of L.
The men in both companies are organ
lied 100 per cent and will prevent
scabbing by effective picketing.
Transfer work is the hardest kind
of labor. Trunks have to be wrestled
about like candy boxes at high speed.
Rupture is a common ailment among
the baggage men. The work day in
the transfer trade has been ten hours
The men are insisting in their present
demands for an eight-hour day. No
class Of baggagemen or chauffeurs re-
ceives more than ss34 per week. The
companies involved ask wage reduc-
ton of dollar a. day
Danger OF Soabs.
The additionally scab Yellow Scab
Company will endanger the strike by
its cheap cab hauling rates on trunks.
The transfer companies move trunks
for dollar, while cabs will take them
aboard for twenty cents. The union
taxi men are expected to unite with
the transfer men in their fight for a
living wage and workable day.
Bosses Cry Poverty.
The companies are complaining OF
losing money as usual. But the fact
is that New York is the greatest pas.
senger terminal in the world and the
transfer business, as the men well
know, is fiourishing at all times. The
Public Service Commission attempted
to get the men to postpone their
strike for three weeks. But strike
meeting OF the union decided unani.
mously to stop work at midnight Sun.

The speakers showed that Fox and
Cobb were desperate over their great
unpopularity and the imminence of
their downfall and were trying to rail-
road the men who are leading the
fight against them.
1t was pointed out that Fox and
Cobb have invariably sided with the
companies in adjusting disputes and
that their most fragrant betrayal was
the deposal of the officers Of Local
992 when the miners, of their own &C
cord, walked out Of the Bell and zoller
mine because the company would not
make it possible for the check weigh
