All International officers of

4 Jack Johnstone, assistant secre-
tary OF the Trade Union Educational
League. IN an interview to the DAILY
WORKER with reference to the offici
al report OF the reelection Of John
L. Lewis and his reactionary machine
said:
Had the votes cast in the recent
elections for officials of the United
Mine Workers Of America been prop
erly counted, the slate Of the progress
sive miners committee would have
been swept into office.
In order to rob the progressives Of
well known leaders in tie left wing
movement as their candidates, Lewis
took care that such veterans as Alex.
ander Howat. Jim McLachlan, Dun
can Macdonald and Tom Myerscough
We're expelled from the union SO that
their names could not appear on the
slate as candidates for election.
Ruled OF Ballot.
THE entire progressive slate was
ruled or the ballot IL Districts Is and
"A, and Il other districts progressive
candidates were barred from running
for no reason whatever except that
they refused to bow to the machine.
Tho use of fraudulent ballots and
the votes Of skyblue locals were tricks
used by reactionaries to win. The
progressiyes in southern Illinois dis.
covered 500 fake ballots which were
printed by the reactionaries. Over
fifty candidates were ruled of the bal
lot in Kansas alone.
I'm spite of all these obstacles the
work of the Progressive Miners Com
mittee was so effective and the soppo-
sition inside the United Mine Work
ers Of America SO strong that had the
votes been counted honestly, Lewis
and his gang would have to openly
take their positions behind the desks
Of the coal operators whom they are
now serving.
The Progressive Miners Committee
which has done such splendid work in
the last elections has only begun to
hight. Grave issues confront the min
ers. The open shop coal operators
are daily widening the scope Of their
operations. Attacks are being made
on the wage and working conditions
Of the employed miners. The condi-
ton OF the unemployed is growing
more critical. The Progressive Min.
ers' Committee has the task OF organ
izing the militant miners to take the
leadership OF the union cut OF the
hands Of the takers who now manage
1t as an auxiliary Of the coal operat-
ors. They must do this because only
when the. union Is under the control
and direction OF progressive leader
ship will It become an effective fight
ing instrument against the BOSSES"

f. Nj. BAUGHER RETURNS
FROM CONVENTION OF
BUILDING & LOAN MEN

f. M. Baugher, president of the
Home Building Association Company,
has just returned from Kansas City
where he attended the Thirty-first
Annual Convention of the United
States League of Building and Loan
Associations.
Mr.. Baugher as president of the
Ohio Building Association League
headed the delegation of Ohio build
ing and loan men to the convention.
He sponsored a resolution which was
adopted providing for a re-organiza-
ton of the national organization.
The building and loan associations
in the United States hope to have an
organization within the next year
similar to the American Bankers
Association.
Building and loan men were pres
ent at the meeting from almost every
state in the United States, but the
delegation, headed by Mr. Baugher,
from Ohio, was the largest of any
state in the country. The trip was
made on a special train which started
at New York and which picked up
the Ohio members at Cincinnati. Mr..
Baugher presided at the caucuses of
the Ohio delegation and played an
important part in the affairs of the
convention

Federal Mine Board
Refutes Wage Claim

New York-Ellis Searles, editor of
the United Mine Workers Journal,
quoted the United States coal COM
mission to answer Walter Gordon
Merritt's claim that coal mines ere
ceive the highest pay in the United
States, outside of the building indus
try"
Gordon is a professional union bait
er. He was attorney against the Dan
bury hatters in the famous Loewe
case, and he is now attempting to
create hostile public opinion against
the miners. ,
The coal commission was created
by congress, and its members were
appointed by the president. They
spent one year and $6O0,00O studying
this industry.
"That commission" said Editor
Searles, reported that in the year
1921, the year of the inquiry, the
average annual earnings Of all men
employed in the soft coal industry
amounted to approximately $1,4OO,
and the anthracite workers earned an
average of approximately $1,000.
Since that time anthracite mine work
ers have received an increase of 10
per cent, and yet, even with this in
crease, they earn an average of less
than $3.50 a month"

THINKING 1T OVER

The "Hired Man" has been told
that the idea of opening the play
grounds gates on Sundays, thus Civ
ing parents a chance to take their
little ones there on the only day poss-
ible in a great many instances, has
struck a responsive chord in the
hearts of the board members, sew
eral of whom favor the idea, but fear
it might be an opening wedge lead
ing to an abuse of the privilege.
We believe not. A sign placed on
the ball diamond and tennis and shoe
pitching courts, stating these places
were closed, would prevent their use
on that day, and permit the little
ones undisturbed possession of the
sand boxes and swings.
At any rate a try out would not be
a bad idea. But if such thing is
contemplated don't wait till the snow
flies.

ChiropractOr's Case
Goes to the Voters

Columbus, O.-A referendum vote
will be taken in Ohio this fall to de-
eide whether law shall be passed
creating a board of chiropractlc eX-
aminers independent of the state
board of medical examiners:
The chiropractors practice thelf
healing art by spinal adjustment.
Thev do not "practice medicine" IN
the strict sense of that term, and op-
nose being obliged to take the regu-
lar state medical examination. Ihey
asked that a board of chiropractic eX7
ominers be established to examine all
chiropractors before they are given
licnse to practice this line of therapy'
The petitions filed in Columbus the
other day requesting a referendum
vote on the chiropractic bill contains
96.888 signatures. The bill to create
such a board failed to pass IN the
legislature last winter. If the people
hv referendum vote pass the measure
# will legalize the practice OF the
chiropractor in Ohio, and friends OF
the measure say it will raise the
standard of the profession and rid II
of men now practicing who have not
had the necessary educational tram
ing.
During the last several years hun
dreds of Ohio chiropractors have been
arrested for practicing medicine with,
out a license, yet the state would
grant no license to any one not pass
ed by the state medical board. Chi
ropractors objected to a medical exam
ination because they do not give med
icine. Many states have recognized
the chiros.

ANOTHER DROPS OUT

Fletcher Scott has resigned as a
member of the Civil Service Commis-
sion, because Mayor Stevens request
ed it. 1t is said the Mayor asked for
the resignation because he was de-
sirous of securing Mr. Scott's serv-
ices in defending him in the recent
mix-up in which he is entangled, bu5
that Mr. Scott has emphatically re,
fused to take part in the coming legal
scrap, which promises to be full of
life and snap.
The vacancy caused by Mr.. ScOtt's
resignation has been filled by the ap-
ponitment of William Leitz, who bail

Just Show Them

Reports now going indicate.
That Labor Day this year
Will be cracker-jack
In town and city, far and near.
They're making preparations
From the. Golden Gate to Maine,
A fact which gives the "open shop"
Brigade a lot of pain.
These people with their anvil chorus
Sing from year to year
The song that Labor's losing ground
And soon will disappear.
But being from Missouri,
On the streets next Labor Day
Just "show them" that you're on the
job
And you intend to stay.

Brighter and brighter grows the
prospect for a big successful celebra-

of the beginning Of the Ohio canal.
The project was originated by the
Trades and Labor Assembly, and at
once met with a hearty approval by
the patriotic ORGANIZATIONS, chamber
of commerce and civic clubs.
All these organizations are work
ing heart and soul for the success of
the movement, and with such backing
failure is impossible. Let everybody
join in and push the thing along.
