notices were posted that they
would receive wage cut and that
the mill would close down for three
weeks.
The men were so Disguised that
they did not care If they worked the
remainder of their turn. Only one
hot mill was working that eve

to show that they have some pep
In them.
The mill is closing down to In

rumored that they will be closed
down for longer period than stat
ed so that when the owners are
ready to open up again the workers
will be willing to work for lower
wages.
The cut will affect some 500 men,
and the closing of the plant will put
out Of employment close to
thousand men.

NEW YORK CITY, July 2.-The

for officers Of the Dock Builders

Running against King Nelson, a
Brindell gangster heading the Brin-
dell slate, supported by what is known
as the social club" Charles Johnson,
Jr, was elected president Of the To-
cal by vote of Lib against 226.
Thomas F. Walsh, president of the
Brindellitess' social club" was or
iginally scheduled to run against
Johnson, but he declined at the last
moment, evidently not wishing to be
the goat.
For financial secretaryship also the
Brindellite running on the social
club" slate was whipped by 1887 to
1885, The same defeat of Brindell oc-
CURED on every position.
The election was held after the
Brindell faction had accused the adj
ministration under Johnson, who be-
came president after Brindell went
to Sing Sing for grating, of misman-
aging funds. An investigation thoro-
ly disproved the charge.
The police watched the election, but
there was no trouble.

telling the bosses that they must
drive 100000 men out of the industry
before they can run their mines at a
profit. No. He is actively engaged
in trying to form an alliance between
the railroaders, the miners, the trans
port workers and the members Of
other industries, for united action
against the bosses.
MOT so long ago, when the progress
~ sive elements had stronger
footing in the miners unions than
they have today the u NJ. w. of A
went on record for an alliance with
the railroad workers. The failure Of
this alliance to materialize cannot be
blamed on the leaders of the miners
union only. Warren S. Stone was
against it. That gentleman was too
busy running scab mines to have any
time for organizing his members to
support miners striking against his
own coal mines.
CTONE is now dead. But the need
~ for such an alliance is as great
as ever 1t is a tragic spectacle to
see union railroaders hauling scabs to
break strikes. Some day there will
be railroad strike. How would the
engineers and iremen like to see the
engines fired with union dug coal?
The union miners would not supply
coal to break a strike. Their union
ism is not only skin deep. The mem
bers Of the railroad brotherhoods
must be convinced that it is not only
violation of the principle of trade
unionism to haul scabs and scab coal
but that they owe it to their own flu
ture welfare to make common cause
with their brothers in the coal indus
try.

MONTREAL, July 2. - The enor-

adian government to the Hudson Bay
Co. and to the railway companies are
bringing their owners much wealth.
In 1919, 1920 and 1921 these compan-

according to government statistics.
Large parts of the railway land grants
have been turned over to holding COM
