AS WE SEE 1T
BY 7. J. o'FLAHERTY

THINGS do not look bright for the
1 coal miners of the United States
Their ranks have been decimated by
unemployment and the union weak
ened by the inroads Of the non-union
coal operators. Now, the Jackson
vile agreement of which John l..
Lewis boasts so much is the object
Of attack. According to the latest
news dispatches, the coal operators
are gathering for a war pow WOW to
smash the Jacksonville pact. Lewis
has been busy for the past few years
splitting the union in order to make
the operators Job comparatively easy.
THE coal operators, like wise gem
] erals, prepared the ground care
fully before deciding to make a front
al attack For years they have been
closing down union mines and open
ing scab pits in Kentucky and south
ern West Virginia. These non-union
fields are now able to produce enough
coal to warrant the belief on the
part Of the coal operators that they
can present their ultimatum to the
union with impunity.
~
EvER since the Jacksonville pact
= was signed the operators have
been violating it. Strikes have brok-
en- out after the miners had exhausted
their patience asking for redress of
their grievances. In every instance
Lewis sided with the bosses, even
going to the extent of lifting local un-
ion charters. The Lewis policy has
dangerously weakened the union.
Not alone has it lost membership,
but it has lost confidence In the Off
cial leadership and will thus go into
action if a strike is in the offing I'M
der very serious handicap.
THE casualties in leadership suf-
| fered by the mine workers union
during the past few years, thru the
splitting policy of John L. Lewis,
number such battlers as Jim Nc
Lachlan, Alexander Howat and Dun
can Macdonald. Those men are still
available as rank and file leaders but
some of them have been expelled or
suspended from membership as well
as from office and their effectiveness
as leaders on a national scale impair
ed. Now that the coal barons be-
lieye Lewis tactics have sufficiently
weakened the once powerful union,
they are ready to open fire. But re-
CARELESS of treacherous leadership
the rank and file of the United Mine
Workers of America, will fight in the
future as they have fought in the
past, and in the forefront of the
fight, against the operators will be the
Communists in the coal miners un-
ion and the militants under the lead
ership of the Trade Union Educa-
tional League.
