LEWIS URGES
B. 80. PLAN
FOR MINERS
Proposes Joint Body for
Cooperation
tsp.oIaI to Tho DAILY wOrksrl


NEW YORK CITY, Jan. IL The
official statement issued by the joint
conference Of anthracite operators
and heads Of the United Mine Work
ers' Union gives the plan offered by
the union as "reVised Markle PLAN"
a plan comparable to the "5. and o."
plan in the machinists, is the course
Of the statement quoted as follows;
1.-THE miners offered what they de-
signated as a revised Markle plan, the
principal provisions of which are;
FiVe-Year Contract.
IAN agreement for five years, which
could be changed by board created
under the plan.
"a board to be established consist
ing of two miners, two operators and
three representative to be selected
by ex-Justice Charles Evans Hughes.
"The board to investigate and de-
termine whether the operators can
reasonably pay a wage increase, If
the board determines on a wage in
crease it shall be retroactive.
No Strike.
"The board to investigate, deter
mine and recommend means of avoid
ing suspensions of mining, and for
assuring the public an uninterrupted
supply of coal.
"The board to investigate and re-
commend methods for increasing eff
cheney and reducing the cost of oper-
alton.
A Machine For Efficiency.
"a joint commission consisting Of
one miner, one operator and the con-
ciIiator to be created in each dis
trict to strive for greater eo-opera-
ton, harmony and efficiency in the
industry, this commission to have
the support and cooperation of op-
orators, district organizations and
the international union.
THE check-off to be limited to $14
year.
1.-The board Of Cancellation to equal
ize wages as provided in the agree
ment of 1928, and to handle matters
in relation to conditions"
Close observers said that this plan
has seemingly overcome objection of
the operators, altho they might play
at opposition to avoid suspicion of
completely with the Lewis machine
which, in this plan, has given the an
-thracite miners something very near
the infamous "B. and o." plan inflict-
ed upon the machinists' union by
William H. Johnston.

DETROIT RESCUE
PARTY is ALL
ROUND SUCCESS

DETROIT, Mich. Jan. II Under
the auspices OF the former Russian,
Ukrainian and Polish branches of the
Workers Party, Section 6. gave an
affair on Christmas for The DAILY
WORKER. The preparations for this
AFFAIR were very extensive and hand
led exceptionally efficient.
This was the first affair given by
Section 8 Of the Workers Party Of
Detroit since the reorganization and
netted a total OF s325.OO. This speaks
well for the success OF this affair.

ties of one of our nuclei in Pitts
burgh, desire to be connected with
them and have sent their first letter.
The d. E. c. should Immediately
take up this talks and assign certain
comrades for this work. The letters
written to the Russian comrades
should not be formal reports, but Just
a reflection of the life of the young
workers in your factory and the &C.
tivities of our nucleus.
Let us quote few lines from one of
the letters of the Russian comrades:
ION behalf of $50 Young Communists
working at the Yakhromsky Cotton
Mills, we send out fraternal greet
ings. Now we will tell you how
things are here with us. The working
day for Juveniles under Is years is
four hours. Up to Is years, six hours
and over Is years, eight hours. In
1922 factory and workshop apprentice
ship schools were instituted.
We already see the results; this year
20 skilled weavers, charge hands,
etc, have passed out of our factory
school. In the Y. @. l. or
ganization itself, deeprooted changes
have taken place, namely: Formerly,
we had a, what we called, the basic
system, that is, everyone came under
the nucleus bureau and secretary.
But as the secretary and the nucleus
bureau could not get in touch with
all the youth in an equal manner,
this hindered our work. Therefore we
reorganized and now we are organic
ed on the shop system-a nucleus In
each shop, spinning, management and
weaving"
We could go on quoting at great
length from each one of these letters.
Such interesting information will be
given to each of our D. e. C's, and
even to each nucleus if we efficiently
organize our international correspond
ence.
This must be centered thru the n.
e. c., who will send all letters and
receive all such correspondence. This
will insure safe delivery and regu-
larity.
Let us build up an international
net work of correspondence with the
Russian League.

Spy System.
The company not only maintains
uniformed police system, but it also
has a spy system with an army of
stools, who aid the spies. The spies,
as a rule, are stuck into a department
as relief hands" They are able to
move about freely in this role. as they
take the places of workers who leave
for the toilets or who, unable to stand
the strain placed upon them by the
speed-up system become over-heated
and go into "fit."
These spies move about freely with
out being molested and they talk to
the different workers. They pump
the workers next to them trying to
find out what these workers think
about unionism and working class or
CARNATIONS. Any worker who is sus-
pected of being tainted" with union
ism is Swallowed" by the detective.
Pretexts are found to transfer the
worker that may be working next to
the tainted" one and the dick place
in his place.
The spy then tries to lead the
tainted" one on and if the worker
admits membership in a union, he is
called to one side at the end of the
days work and told that work is

Labor Heads Praise Tammany Hall

Walker, asking him to appoint union
men and women on the new board OF
education, which he will soon select.
Non-partisan Politics.
A communication from William
Green, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, advising organized
labor of the fact that S3 United States
senators, as we'll as 435 members of
the house of representatives, will be
elected in November, 1926, therefore.
meetings should be arranged by the
non-partisan political committee of
the American Federation of Labor, to
prepare for the election of representa-
tives who are fair to labor Also, that
the records of all candidates be sent
to the national non-partisan political
committee, which is located in Wash
ington, d. c.
Praises Gales.
A speaker, by the name of Kelly,
was introduced as a visiting unionist
from Mexico. He stated that the Next
co City Labor Councils constitution
was copied from the New York's Cen
trale Trades and Labor Council. The
only difference being that the name
Mexico City, was inserted in the place
of New York.
He first criticized the, c. T. and L.
c. and in the next breath congratulate
ed it for its work. He praised Presi-
dent Gales to the sky, stating that
he is the first labor president in the
history of the world. He said that
the accomplishments of the Gales
government included the returning to
private ownership of the government
owned railroads, also that no land has
been confiscated by the government,
except that which could not show a
clear title
Militants Needed
The type of meetings that the Gen.
trail Trades and Labor Council is now
conducting shows an utter lack of
militancy; kowtowing to Tammany
FALL politicians and the passing of
motions and resolutions of praise to
them. A group of live wire progress
sives and left wingers ought to come
and wake up that sleeping assembly.

Z BOYS BEING
SOUGHT

Believed to have been drawn
away from their homes by a de-
sire to be near the Marines at
Quantico, John Barranger, Is. of
251 Tenth st. N. E., and Morris
Fenton, IA, OF 142 Eleventh st. N.
E., playmates, have disappeared,
and the police have been asked to
search for them.
The boys left their homes about
s D. m. Friday. Morris Is said to
have made several trips away from
his home, and John disappeared
also about three weeks ago. At
that time, It was found that John
and Morris had gone down to Chesa-
peake Beach for fishing trip.
Recently, Morris was heard ex-
pressing his admiration for the Ma
rines and thu boys in the neighbor-
hood began talking about how much
fun 1t would be to go down to
Quantico and live near the soldiers
of the sea. Efforts to locate the
boys in that section today proved
futile, however.
The boys are in the fifth grade
of school. John also is a member
of the Sunday school class OF the
Centennial Baptist Church.

One doesn't give it merely to get
something in return. But when one

Many of them didn't cost more
