to get the floor during the presenta-
ton of credentials from district one,
where a large local was expelled, was
ruled out of order. All this resulted
in rushing the preliminaries and
father Curran got the floor in short
order. He began by complimenting

force upon the United Mine Workers.

dares to rally to their support features
every Issue Of these cess-pool sheets.
The Sunday Independent of this
city, for instance, in a lengthy article
on the proposed settlement, speaks Of
union officials who participated in
the long struggle for a safe contract,
and the many others who realized the
seriousness of the task placed upon
President Lewis and his co-workers."
These same officials, it is declared,
earnestly hope the members of
locals will respond to the last man to
calls issued for election of delegates
to the Scranton meeting" This is, of
course, the reverse of the fact. Every
effort of the machine is being made to
rush the matter to hasty approval
and to prevent the entire membership
from having any real voice in the
Scranton convention.
Just Listen to the PiffIel
The new contract, according to this
paper, safeguards the high wage
scale and permits of peaceful industry
for long term of years" In other
words the miners have been out for
a half year, suffering intensely, just
so Lewis can tell them to go back to
work at the wages they were then re-
ceiving, tied up now for term of
years by an arbitration clause which
this labor fakir is trying to disguise
as something else.
In short, as the editor summarizes,
the terms of this slave-binding agree
ment are "the finest ever achieved in
the unions long career" President
John L. Lewis ought to be proud that
his capitalist friends appreciate his
sacrifice of the rank and file as the
final gesture in the most colossal mis-
of the whole strike.

weeks ago predicted the strike

Joseph is now said to be very hap

prayed for a wage increase, the
shorter workday and the check-off

-of non-arbitration having been won,
it means a continuance of the present
rate of wages. Evidently fearing that
the miners delegates did not follow
his shrewd sophistry, Curran continued
bluntly: There is no fear that your
wages will have to be revised down
ward. Yet, if you were even to double
your wages, and leave your fate in
the hands of third person, then they
could steal your wage increase away
from you under arbitration. This is
your victory. You. shall be nobody's

Father Curran then warned the min
ers' delegates that when they go back
to work they should be honest with
their employers, that they should con-
ciliate all of their differences, that
they should not permit any petty
strikes, but always consult with their
superior officers. It is these petty
strikes" that the miners invoke to
protect their working conditions
against the inroads of the mine own
ers. The churchman concluded by
warning the miners against the drink
habit, lauding Governor Pinchot and
offering up thanks to god for "your

GETS ILLEGAL

Especial 10 ne Dally Worksr1
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-That old
Andy Mellon, the muIti-miIllonalre
secretary Of the treasury, has at last
been caught with the goods in one
shady government transaction seems
evident from revelations which have
come out on the floor of the senate
during the past week. This is in
spite of the fact that the investigator
was none other than Senator Reed,
Of his home state. Reed is member
of the law firm which has been coun-
sci for Mellon. The affair must have
been pretty rotten when so slick a
corporation hireling as Reed could not
avoid finding the secretary guilty.
Evidence conelusively proved that
the three Mellon institutions, the
Mellon National Bank, the Union
Trust Co. and the Union Savings
Bank, were all owned by the same
group and as such were not entitled
10 a tax refund of $91, 472, which they
had Illegally obtained. A former
treasury official Daniel F. Hickey,
swore to an affidavit charging the
grant of the refund was "a deliberate
fraud" By some hocus-pocus of law it
is now held that the case has been
closed and nothing further can be
done about the affair The sanctimoni-
Gus secretary Of the treasury, whose
virtues have been praised to the skies
by such press prostitutes as Arthur
Brisbane, claims that until today he
had known nothing Of the case.
Reed Blocks Expose of Mellon.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator
David A. Reed, of Pennsylvania, sue
ceeded in inducing Senator Walsh, of
Montana, to postpone presenting to
the senate the majority report of the
judiciary commission which has been
investigating the department of JUS
tees investigation of the Aluminium
Company of America, controlled by
Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew
Mellon.
The report, adopted by a vote of
nine to seven, accuses the department
of justice of a lack of vigor and good
faith in it's conduct of the case and
recommends that the judiciary COM
mittee itself ascertain if the corpora
ton has violated a decree of the
federal court, issued in 1912, restrain
ing it from monopolistic practices
The republicans are fighting to have
the case allowed to remain in the
hands of Attorney General Sargent,
who, they are sure, will do nothing
TO push the matter. This will protect
Mellon from a further exposure. The
democrats. who care nothing for any
real issues involved in the charges,
want to "get something" on the adj
ministration and so want the acccusa-
tons sifted by the judiciary COM
mittee, figuring they are sure to OBJ
tain some advantage.
The fight on the committees recon-
mendations will be close in the senate,
with the so-called progressive group,
such as Shipstead, Borah, Norris, and
others, holding the balance of power.
With these 'progressives," however,
there is no clear and binding line of
economic policy pursued. Some Of
them want to go back to the pre-trust
days. Others want to regulate" the
monster combines. None of them re-
gard the issues from the working
class standpoint.
