THE HAGUE, Holland, February
9.-Dispatches from Deli, Sumatra,
tell of remarkable cures of the opiuna
habit effected by the American Metho-
dist Mission among the Chinese fish
ing population there.
The cure, which is administered in
ternally, takes d fortnight. That the
victims are conscious of their vice
and only too anxious TO be delivered
from it is shown by the fact that the
tiny mission hospital is booked up for
more than six months ahead, and n
is declared that 240 patients, most Of
them complete opium wrecks, have
been wholly cured, says the Deli
Courant.
Several localities in the Dutch East

between 400 hooded klansmen and 300

been used against them whenever
they submitted their dispute to it..
An outstanding case occurred couple
of years ago in Pennsylvania, and
when victory was practically within
the grasp of the fighting colliers, their
officials joined hand with the coal
operators, agreed to arbitration, and
were defeated.
The present maneuvering of Lewis
is indicative that another treacherous
move is on foot and the Progressive
Miners Committee point to the fact,
that if John L. Lewis was sincere,
and desired to aid the bituminous mi
ners, he would not need to link up
or tolerate the Jacksonville agreement
with any suggestion of arbitration Of
the Anthracite question.

The fact that Lewis is even tolerant
of such suggestions have put the min

the duty of Lewis to call out on strike

tors to live up to the Jacksonville
agreement, and in view of the fact
that the. hard coal operators are re-
fusing the miners their meager de-

1'7i1 Where ProgressIves Stand
It is very noteworthy that the Pro-
gressive Miners Committees have
pointed out the fact that the Jackson
vile agreement had ceased to exist a
long time ago, but John L. Lewis has
repeatedly and continuously misled
the miners on that score. Lewis now
admits the truth of our assertion that
the Jacksonville agreement is being
violated at will and practically admits

mad scurry to get out of the way of

agreement. e ~ .''
Government Strike Breaking Ahead.
The government is reported to be
considering Intervention, and force ar
bitration of the dispute From very
reliable sources we are informed that
John L. Lewis may join the hard coal
and bituminous issue should arbitra-
tion of the question be forced on the
miners.
The social conditions of the miners
are almost beyond description, their
wives and families thruout the field
covered by the Jacksonville agreement
are starving as a result of long un-
employment, which in turn is direct
result of the Jacksonville agreement
itself, which Lewis saddled on the
necks of the miners without their
consent.
Plot Against the Membership.
The agreement forced on the miners
at Jacksonville is for term of three
years, for no other reason than to
give the coal operators, collaborating
squeeze out of the industry the mill
tant left wingers who were repudiat-
ing the false leadership of the Lewis
machine. Lewis clearly saw the pro-
gressive miners were not going to sub
NIT tamely to the treason of the gang
any longer; and the three-year> agree
ment was necessary to enable Lewis
to expel the militant miners in as dip
lomatic manner as possible.
1t is we'll known fact that Lewis
and the coal mine operators have
joined hands to squeeze 100000 miners
out of the industry, and in the squeez-
ing process the militant miners who
have been fighting against the Lewis
machine (because of his refusal to
fight for naturalization of the mines
and a. militant program in behalf of
the miners), are the particular ones
to be squeezed out. Proof of this is
found in the expulsions of the pro
gressive miners in Illinois, Pennsyl-
vania. Nova Scotia, Alberta, and in
fact all over the country.
Betrayal After Betrayal.
The militant miners have very good
reason to know the present tactics of
