RESTORES
CHARTERS TO PA,
COAL STRIKERS
B e lie f Lewis knitting
Rinaldo Cappellini


PLAINS, Pa, Feb. 2O.-The twelve
thousand miners employed by the
Pennsylvania Coal company who have
been on strike for ten weeks have now
returned to work and the local unions
to which they belong had their chart
ers restored by John L, Lewis on re-
commentator of special information
al committee.
Used Charters As Club
Lewis revoked their charters when
they went on strike without the sane
ton of the renegade district president
Rinaldo Cappellini who refused to
make any effort to secure redress of
their grievances from the coal CON-
pany On the contrary he used the
revocation of their charters as a club
with which to force them to surrender
to the Pennsylvania Coal company.
In view of the political situation in
the district and the quarrel between
Cappellini and Brennan, 1t is consider
ed significant that Lewis restored the
4
incensed against Cappellini, and Bren.
nan hopes that all those who have
recently been betrayed by his rival
will forget his own betrayal OF an
earlier date and give him their votes
Tho Lewis is supposed to be on Cap
pellini's side the general belief here
is that the international president Ia
for Brennan.
The Tax Collector
The local miners are extremely In.
dignant over the action of the local
tax collector, Thomas James, who
attached their pay for 1928 and 1924
taxes, in the offices of the Pennsyl-
vania Coal company. When the miners
went to draw their scanty pay for
work done in the closing days Of Jam
uary, many of them were handed tax
receipts in lieu of cash.
But after several hundred miners
paraded to the Office Of collector
James and had a look at the piles of
money on each side Of him and In
front Of him their demeanour caused
that worthy to recognize that discre-
ton was the better part of valor and
he proceeded to make such arrange
ments as he thought would be most
conducive to a speedy notification Of
the sharp edged tempers of the coal
diggers.

All Unions Hit BY B. & o. BIPs Plan

bers are selected as chairman and
committeeman. It is the open shop
with a vengeance.
Old Leaders Bankrupt
The circular letter issued by an Of
mcial Of the Order of Railroad Tele-
graphers views with alarm this spread
of the scab B. & o. plan in the rail-
road unions. But the bankruptcy of
the old leadership is demonstrated in
the concluding paragraph of the tele-
grapher's circular. Instead of being
positively opposed to this company
union plan, the writer asks for ad-
wise as to whether the telegrapher's
should participate in the B. & 0. plan
or ignore it. They should do neither
but fight it and fight it vigorously
The following circular issued by the
Order Of Railroad Photographers shows
the company in action with bill"
Johnston's scab plan:
Dear Sir and Brother:-The division
operators bulletin of the B. & o. r. R.
dated Feb. Sth. 1925, sheet No. 2
shows the following:
cooperative meetings are to be
held monthly between management
and employees. Committees have been
appointed for each craft. For the
telegraph department. Mr.. H, D. Graf
fious, dispatcher, chairman, Mr.. P. H.
Scheffler, operator, alternate, Mr.. w.
H. Carruthers, operator, alternate.
"We solicit suggestions that will
benefit or make the service safe. Oper-
ators will forward such suggestions to
the alternate, who in turn win for
ward to the chairman, provided they
cannot attend. Each suggestion viii
be taken record of, acted upon, and
committees advised of final DISPOSE
ton.
cit would please me very much to
have operators take an active part in
this movement"
"BiIrs'' Plan Was Good
And on circular dated Feb. 9Th,
1925, signed by w. E. Booth chairman,
and ]. D. Beltz vice-chairman, address
ed to all concerned. Subject: 80 Co
operative meetings to be held between
management and employees" The first
paragraph reads as follows:
Having in mind the good that has
been accomplished in the mechanical
department thru their cooperative
conferences, We deemed it advisable
to inaugurate a similar movement
among the transportation department
employees, which if proven satisfac-
tory, will be extended to the main
tenance of way department. AS a re-
suit our first meeting was held Jan.
9th, at which time, the purpose of
these meetings was discussed and
committees elected to represent each
craft in the transportation depart
ment."
The third paragraph reads as
follows:
"At these meetings, it is desired
that every one, if possible, give sug-
gestions for the betterment of our
service, special features Of our indus
try, general improvements for the
betterment of working conditions, no
matter what the position of any en-
ploye might be. The meeting is open
at all times for suggestions-each sug-
gestion will be taken record of, acted
upon, and committees advised of final
disposition"

Glenwood shop plan Of employe re-
presentation known as the B. & O..

ANCIENT CREEKS
like FORUMS; so
DO COMMUNISTS
Moritx Loeb to Speak
Next Sunday

Open forums ara an ancient insti-
tuition. Almost as old as mems
tongues; sometimes as much Of
bore, too. at least to those whose
tongues aren't functi0ning.
The most famous open forums we're
those that the Greeks used to have
5000 years ago, either in the senate
Or in the Athenian market place, 1t
is common idea, tho a miserable
mistaken one, that all the Greeks
participated in such gatherings.
Greece had a democracy, didn't it?
Or so we are told. Its democracy"
however, consisted Of some few thou
sand Of property holders. Outside this
close corporation were some hun
dreds of thousands of slaves. Need
sss to say, these had neither voice
cor vote; some of them, like Sparta
Gus, tho, had wonderful tongues
whose eloquence echoes down thru
history, but Spartacus didn't speak
at open forum.
Soft Drink Parlors7
Today, open forums are not con-
fined to philosophers or property
holders. These, in fact, have desert
ed the forum for the Mencken maya
zines, the movie, or the, all, contem-
porary substitute for the bar-room.
And the Spartacus of yesterday has
become the forum leader of today.
But the working class is not sat
isfied with producing just few think
ers; few leaders. 1t does not want
10 be shut out by a closed corpora
ton of know-it-alls.
The modern open forum, like that
conducted by the Workers Party ev-
cry Sunday night at the Ashland au-
ditorium, lets every one express him
self, within a definite time limit, of
course.
WIndbaes, BewareI
Sometimes, obviously, this freedom
has its disadvantages. There are self
exhibitionists among workers just as
among the Rabbits. But workers
aren't as polite" as the bourgeois
and they know how to cut short nui-
sance. And Comrade 7. J. O'FIanerty
is charming chairman; he has a
will and a way.
At least twenty questions were
asked the speaker, Max Bedacht, at
the last forum, when the Dawes plan
was under discussion, but all bore
directly on the subject and incidental
ly proved that an open forum can be
really democratic affair, instead of
a dictatorship from above.
Temperemental Like Opera Stars.
How a Labor Paper Goes to
Press" will be the subject of discus
sion for next Sunday nights forum,
with Moritz ]. Loeb. business man
ager of the DAILY WORKER, as the
principal speaker. Well. how does it
go to press? This is about the only
question that even the most intelli-
gent worker can ask about such
complicated process. For a printing
press is almost as deceptive and mys-
terious as a grand opera. But to
learn about it is much more enlight-
ening.
Its involutions, evolutions and revo-
lutions will all be described-from
galleys and slugs to cuts. Even the
mystery of the printers devil will be
revealed. And questions will be an
swered SO that DAILY WORKER
builders will have new International
nails for their tool boxes.
