Electrical Union
Agrees with Boss
Not to Organize

NEW YORK, March s. "Out OF
consideration of the interest OF the
public which stand above the inter
ests of both the employers and the
employees" the officials of the Elec.
trical Workers Unions in this city
have just entered into an agreement
with the New Edison company not
TO attempt to unionize the company's
power house employees, 'lest organ.
ized employees might resort to strikes
in putting forth and enforcing various
demands upon the company and thus
deprive the public Of electric Scur'
rent"
The attitude OF the workers to this
shameful betrayal and bondage at this
time could not be learned.
The company, of course, in its rner.
icless exploitation of the workers Will
readily put forth any sham and pro-
tense, such as the public's interests,
in order to beguile them, and the labor
takers readily cooperate with the
company in delivering tho rank aad
file to the capitalists for this ex.
ploitstion.

THE National Committee of the
Trade Union Educational League
has issued the following statement
against the open shop" drive on the
coal miners union, and calling for a
united front Of the workers against
the unity of the capitalists:

THE WORKERS IN THE COAL IN

once again the coal miners are

ing situation than in 1922. Not only
have the miners to face the powerful
coal barons of Western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Kansas, who have the
whole-hearted support of the coal op-
orators of Illinois and Indiana, and
the financial interests of Wall Street
and the Coolidge government, but
they have to meet the situation with
a leadership that is the most reac-
tionary and corrupt in the American
labor movement.
The signatures to the Jacksonville
agreement were scarcely dry when
the coal operators began breaking it,
while, on the other hand, the miners
were severely criticized and punished
by their officials every time they at
tempted to compel the mine owners to
abide by the agreement. The Trade
Union Educational League pointed
out, at the time Of the signing of the
Jacksonville agreement, that this
was the last act of a long line of
treachery committed by John L.
Lewis, having for its purpose the de-
struction Of the United Mine Work

marine transport WORKERS Industrial
Union $40 Of the l. w. W., to attend
conference at Berlin of all revolu.
tionary transport workers unions of
the world on Feb %, the conference
passed vote of censure on the for
mer executive of M. T. w. $40, for
Withholding and concealing from the
membership this invitation.
This obstructive tactic of the for
mer officials of the M. T. w. $40 had
been subject to much criticism since
It became known by publication Of
the letter of invitation by the Red In
ternational Affiliation Committee, and
by communication to the confer
ence from the Pan-American Anti-Im-
perialist League, that world confer
ence of the same nature and for the
same purpose was meeting in Ber-
lin almost at the same time. The M.
T. w. officials had neither answered
the invitation, nor allowed news Of
its existence to reach the member
ship. This obstruction to unity it
was which drew the vote OF censure.
Opposes !. w. w. Attacks on Other
Revolutionary Movements.
The conference took a sympathetic
and constructive attitude when It ac-
cepted a resolution opposing adverse
criticism in I. w. w. papers OF any
movement having revolutionary
ideals. This is considered a sharp
rebuke for the officials OF anarcho-
syndicalist tendency who have been
leading the organization in the direc-
ton of the anarchist international
which goes by the name OF the In
ternational Workingmen's Associa-
ton.
The most significant organic re-
suits of the conference, was the ap-
proval of free and interchangeable
membership among all marine unions
OF the western hemisphere whose pre-
ambles or constitutions are based up
on the revolutionary class struggle
OF the proletariat for emancipation.
All members in good standing in any
country are TO be accorded all privi-
leges as members of the unions in
the country where they happen to be.
Next Annual Meeting in Havana.
This strong organic bond between
existing unions was made stronger
by setting date for the second an
nual conference OF marine unions OF
the western hemisphere TO convene
at Havana, Cuba, on January Is. 1926.
The international strike, which was
much discussed. and which is to af-
feet Latin America as we'll as North
America, is left In the hands OF com.
mittee composed of McRae, Garfield
and Harvey, all ]. w. w. who are to
draw up strike demands and details.
Resolutions adopted also covered an
educational campaign against drunk
enness, narcotics and race prejudice,
while the shipping crimps came in for
condemnation, as an enemy or sea.

zALESKAS FOR
PRESIDENT Of
DISTRICT ONE
Progressives Want No
Conciliators

SCRANTON, Pa.-The Progressive
miners demand for the abolition of
the Cancellation board in District No.
i Of the United Mine workers of Am.
erica, has been furnished with an adj
ditional sample of the "impartiality.
''justness, and fairness" of this body
when the impartial" umpire, Charles
P. Neill handed down decision de-
nying the right to the union to limit
the number of cars of coal miner
should be permitted to load during
one day.
The glazing "impartiality" of this
decision is in conformity with the
past acts of this board and is one of
the chief reasons for the seething dis
content that is almost constantly ex-
pressing itself in the many outlaw
strikes in the anthracite fields.
These Two are Enough.
The anthracite miners have just
two grievances against the concilia-
ton board; one is that it takes the
board many months, and sometimes
years, to decide on a case, and the
second is, that the vast majority of
the important decisions are made
against the miners, and this latest
atrocity is a typical example contain
ing both earmarks Of the Cancellation
board.
1t is we'll over year since this mat
ter was laid before the board when
Local Union No. 400 passed a decision
prohibiting any member from loading
more than three cars during the eight
hours of work.
The decision of the union was a
first step towards bringing uniformity
of wages in the mines and preventing
of the pace-setting methods used by
the boss's favorites who are always
given favorable places in the mines
and whose earnings are used as an
argument for wage reduction.
Rinaldo Cappellini, whose record Of
betrayals surpasses even that of the
Cancellation board of which he is an
ardent supporter, will have a hard
time explaining away this decision.
zaIeskas Against cappeIlini.
The miners of District will have
an ample opportunity of repudiating
Cappellini and the cancellation board
during the coming election for presi-
dent, vice-president and the secretary
treasurer, by supporting the progress
sive candidates, headed by the rank
and file miner, Bernard zaleskas, who
is running for president on a progress
sive platform which demands the abol-
ition Of the Cancellation board, estab-
lishment of the minimum wage, direct
settlement of grievances between the
union and the operators within 80
days, abolition of topping, a six-hour
day, five-day week, and a Lumber of
other demands that will solve the
many burning grievances and prob
lens facing the anthracite miners to-
day.

we have opened up life's vistas in q

broader way.
1--WE are graduating more of our
young people from four year high
schools than any other state IN the
Union, with the possible exception OF
Vermont and our young people, who,
after graduation, have gone to col
lege have made an enviable record.
The freshmen in the four Maine COL
leges for the first semester of last
year made an average Of less than
seven per cent Of failures. This Is q
lower percentage of failure than can
be found In the business or profess
siunal life Of our country.
"But we have not solved the grea.
main question of education. All
these I have mentioned are album
dainty essential. but we have not
reached the point where we can fully
determine the highest gift of the pu-
pill and where we can train It as 1t
ought to be. This we are struggling
now to solve as we are struggling
also with the problem of developing a
keener moral conception and a high
err regard for citizenship. The schools
are not lacking, however, in their at
tempt at this.
1.-THE people Of Maine are really to
be congratulated on the way they have
taken hold of this tremendous prob
lem of furnishing the best schools we
are capable of furnishing to our chill
dren. OF course, we have not done
everything we could do or should do.
No one ever does. But we have done
tolerably well. / do not believe the
schools of Maine are backward, that
they are poorer than the schools of
other states. We have had more
difficult task, however, than most
states have had, for, coupled with our
sparse population, we have had bad
roads for winter and long hauls for
many of our children. But good
highways and good schools are rapid
ly coming to the children of Maine.
The people are generally recognizing
improvement in school conditions,
improvement in instruction and inn
provement In child behavior"
