Cook of Miners Sees
Long Struggle Ahead
BY BILL ROSS, Federated Press.

BY BILL ROSS, Federated Press.
GLASGOW - (FP) - Though ex-
hausted by his almost superhuman eff
forts during the months of the min
ers' lockout, Secy. A. ]. Cook found
time to spend day in the Clyde dis
trict to address three Keir Hardie
memorial meetings. Only two days
previous he was attending the Miners
international in Brussels. He re-
turned to England by airplane, spent
a busy day in London and made the
long Journey to Scotland to keep his
engagements.
Cooks incessant agitation to hold
the battle lines have worn him out.
His voice almost gone, he tortures
himself to make his huge audiences
hear him. He ignores his doctors adj
vice to give UP speaking and goes on
with the old zeal and enthusiasm.
Lines formed before the halls hours
before he was due. The crowds
which could not get in consoled them
selves by greeting Cook on his ar
rival. Only the determined efforts OF
his escorts kept Cook from addressing
the overfows.
II the hall everybody rose, handker-
chiefs and red flags were waved.
When Cook got a chance to speak
they heard his hoarse voice. Like one
man the thousands murmured, sur
prlsed and sympathetic, but soon
hpshed into a dead silence.
Remember that we have been in
the front line trenches. deserted by
those who should have stood with u.s."
he said. IF the labor movement
breaks faith with the miners it will
break the heart of the most valiant
fighters the movement ever had"
He explained that while the miners
will accept wage reductions they will
stick to the principle of the 7-hour
day and national agreements. Leav-
ing the hall for the taxi which was
to take him to another meetings, Cook
found a crowd waiting to give him
an ovation.
1--WE have a lot Of fight left in u.s."
Cook assured The Federated Press
In the taxi "They still have a long
way to go to beat the miners"

must be to stimulate these tendencies by precptang the
demands Of the workers in the company union committees
by putting up in the company union elections lists Of
didates who committed to the formation of
unions etc
Our ultimate aim must be to set movements on foot
both inside and outside of the company unions which will
shaer these organizations and result in the establishment
OF trade unions. skilled leadership will often be able

strikes
How Much ORGANIZATION
The question of how TO preliminary organization
OF the workers in the great unorganzed Industries
determine just how much organization necessary in
given situation before the strike should begin constitutes
one of the real problems of strike strategy
In impending strikes of unorganized workers. conserva
tive labor leaders habtualy oyerestimae importance
of organization and underestimate the spontaney of the
workers. They smother the fighting spirit of the workers
by dryasdus campaign for excessive organizations On
the other hand tendency of left wing leaders is
to underestimate the necessity for certain degree of pre-
liminary organization and depend upon the
spontaney of the workers The result aborve strikes
The history of the l. w w. is full of such mistakes
Our problem is to know just how to combine the two
spontaney and organizations learn to strike the blow
when the workers spirits their highest and when
they have enough organization to at least mobilize them
into the strike

Constitutional Change

Los Angeles, Nov. 8. - Asserting
that the recent supreme court decision
giving the president power to dismiss
unfit federal Office holders was not in
harmony with the principles of consti-
tutional government, Senator William
H. King Of Utah declared here today
that constitutional amendment multi
flying this decision win be submitted
at the next session Of congress.
Parties Allied
King, who is here to conduct the
"slush fund" investigation into the
Arizona senatorial campaign, declared
that both republican and democratic
members Of the senate will support
the proposed amendment.
81 feel that the majority opinion of
the supreme court is erroneous and
should be altered" King explained.
"The president needs no such I'M
limited power and the constitution
does not confer it upon him. This
ruling gives the chief executive the
arbitrary right to get rid Of federal
Office holders, and it is absolutely at
variance with the fundamental prin-
eiples of our government"

With Causing Death OF

(By Dispatch A. 2. Wirel

BALTIMORE, Md, March 15.-Mrs.
Edna May Wright Coursey today for
the second time flung at her hus-

ing beaten to death her five-year- old
son, Eldridge Ralph T. Coursey, a

"A coroner's jury found he had come
to his death by cQntusions resulting

FARMERS HAVE
HARD TIME TO
DECIDE NEEDS
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Doubt
and anxiety, have begun to appear
in the ranks of the farm representa-
tives who fortnight ago con-
fidently marched or washington de-
manding relief legislation.
| After long labor, a relief bill is
taking form in the house agricul-
ture committee, but it is long haul
and a rocky road from the COM
mittee room to the presidents desk,
and administration leaders apparent
| ly are counting on an adjournment
of congress some time in May.
Some committee members still pre-
dict that a bill will be laid before
Coolidge for his signature before
congress goes home. The farm lead
ers themselves have by no means
abandoned hope, although they mani
festly are worried over the diff
culties and delays that beset them.
At the very beginning of their
invasion of the capital the farm
delegations were taken back by the
unexpected manner of their recep-
tion. They were welcomed on every
hand, bu twere told to get to-
gether around a table and decide
just what it was they wanted. Then
the trouble began. The more they
consulted with one another and with
members of the house committee the
more the whole project became OBJ
scured in cloud of argument and
a tangle of technica1ities.
Undeniable progress has been made,
but the views of many witnesses
yet are to be heard. The natter a
bill has been perfected, it will have
to take its chances in the usual
legislative jam that precedes the
close of a. session. There still are
important appropriation bills pend
ing, and the senate is engulfed with
a multiplicity of measures ranging
from contested nominations to for
eign debt settlements.
The agriculture committee was
not in session today, but on Monday
it will resume its hearings with the
farm delegation from eleven middle
western states presenting for the
first time a complete draft of it's
plan for federal insurance of sur 4
plus by means of an equalization
fee.

The Mining Journal, Phoenix, Arir,)
Copper has remained firm at 14H
with no evidence Of any material
change one way or the other. The
demand is reported as good and the
battle is still on as to whether the
producers want to sell at present
price levels and in what quantity
they will sell. The tendency on the
part Of the producers is to ask Il
little above the market, not sell in
any great quantities except to reg
ularly established trade, and not sell
for future. delivery.
On the other hand, the tendency
on the part of the consumers is to
continue to shop around for small
lots at low prices and not to take
care of possible future demands and
coverage of requirements even to
the extent of the orders on their
books.
An effect of the small surplus Of
copper is shown in the attitude of
manufacturers of copper products as
they are now postponing delivery on
fabricated products depending upon
their liability to get the copper" 1t
would be assumed that they really
mean their ability to get the copper
at the price they are willing to pay"
The effect of the recent stock mar
ket slump has been seen on all busi-
ness and this makes the consumers
indisposed to place many orders until
it may be known just what the ulti-
mate effect of this business slump
may he. Stock market declines were
drastic and it is entirely possible
that there might be very dampen
ing effect on business as a whole.
There is no change in the foreign
situation, the same moderate demand
for the metal, but a very keen in
terest in the formation Of the copper
export association. 1t is anticipated
