Attempt to Blame
Union Miners for
Explosions Fails

WASHINGTON = (FP) - Insinua-
tions by anti-labor Hobbies that recent
mine explosions have been due to sa-
botage because the mines involved
were non-union, are stopped by an ofil-
cial statement OF Scott Turner, direc-
tor of the U. S. bureau OF mines. He
says that Investigations made by the
bureau staff do not disclose any such
suspicion. Accumulations Of gus were
to blame. The disaster in the union
Orient mine at West Frankfort, ILL.,,
he said, illustrated how deadly accu-
mutations of gas can occur in even the
most modern-equipped and largest OF
coal mines. Five men were killed in
that accident, out OF about 1000 EN-.
ployed.
Turner again urges rock dusting as
the most important preventive Of ex-
plosions. Better ventilation, more re-
gulation. OF the means Of lighting, the
guarding OF motors, etc, that might ig-
mite gas, are also stressed.

Strikers Relief
q. W. A. Press service)

WlLKES-5ARRE Pa, Feb. 16.-In
order to silence the sIsnderous cam
paign Of lnsinuations and false state
ments regarding the character and
work of the international Workers
Aid in their establishment of relief
for the strikers. instituted by agree
ment with the latter, the responsible
officials of the general grievance COM
mittee of the United Mine Workers
of America, and the strikers relief
committee, has Issued the following
public statement. The assertions and
slanderous matter have been appear
ing in the local capitalist press and
have been circulated also by certain
union leaders in the effort to prevent
international Workers Aid from help
ing to relieve the suffering among the
strikers.
Raymond Delaney, as chairman of
the general grievance committee, and
Joseph Hurley and ID. A. Edmunds, as
chairman and secretary, respectively,
of the relief committee, signed the
statement for the miners.
Sunday, Feb. IA, 1926.
can Open Letter to the Public:
1T having come to our attention
that certain evil minded persons not
familiar with the conditions and cir
cumstances of the relief work now
being conducted under the joint
auspices of the International Workers
Aid and the general grievance com
mittee of District No. /, United Mine
Workers of America, are making pub
lie statements of slanderous and de-
gratory nature.
I'm order that the truth may be
known, we, the undersigned, by In
structions of the entire relief commit
tee duly appointed and elected by the
general grievance committee do here
by make this public statement to
which we attest our signatures:
"a THAT the offer Of relief help
from the International Workers Aid
came to the general grievance com
mittee of District No. l, on or before
Tuesday February 2. 1926.
(2) This offer was properly and
officially acted upon by the said gen.

The alibi will follow along these
lines:
First-Arbitration was not agreed
to.
second-This means that there can
be no reduction of wages for five
years.
Third-This was greater victory
than if wage increase had been won
and arbitration agreed to.
The ingenuity Of this explanation is
self-apparent.
The miners are assured that there
can be no compulsory arbitration,
they are promised that their wages
cannot be reduced, they are even pro
missed that wages may be increased
in the future.
Pie in the sky.
In lieu of the failure to get some
thing now for the anthracite coal dig
gers, following their five and one half
months struggle, the Lewis regime
turns the miners eyes on the future
and uses the church as its first buffer
against any resentment that might
arise among the six hundred dele
gates and the thousands Of coal
miners jamming the galleries in this
spacious auditorium.
Not only that. In addition a mo
fessional comedian is brought in TO
conduct mock miners convention.
to entertain the delegates, ending
with the recitation of flag-waving
poem that was also a bitter attack on
the militants in the miners union.
The first message of greetings to
the convention read was from the
business men Of Nanticoke, near
Wilkesbarre, while a telegram was
also read from Governor Pinchot,
stating his inability to respond TO
the invitation sent him by the miners
officials to address the convention.
He congratulated the miners officials

ees,-traditionally known as the real
tax dictators of congress,-mett today
to repair the ruin wrought in the
new revenue bill by the senate when
it went on a tax sIashing spree just
before enacting the measure.
The ten conferees, five from each
branch Of congress, while meeting to

bill at it passed the house and senate,
had far more important goal in an
effort to restore $10O,OOO,OOO of the
taxes repealed by the senate. AS the
treasury department has warned that
the S45,000,000 of reductions ordered
by the senate may result in a federal
deficit and the senate has instructed
its representatives to "stand by" all
the reductions, the conferees faced a
difficult task to effect an amicable
settlement Of all conflicting rates.

PreOent Split in Ranks

Especial to The Daily worker)

LONDON, Feb. 16 = As the result
Of persistent campaign Of agitation
carried on by the Sunday Worker, the
English national left wing organ, the
progressive trade union forces of the
country have been further consolida-
ted and their policy clarified, especial
ly in connection with the tactics to be
followed regarding the decision Of the
Liverpool conference of the labor
party that no Communist party mem
Der could represent any affiliated or
ganzation at any labor party confer
enee.
Three pronounced opinions develop
ed on the tactics to be pursued; one
that the Communists must unreserv-
edly obey the ruling and drop out
either of the labor party or the Com
munist Party; second, that a new
party should be formed on the basis
Of RELENTLESS struggle against cap
italism," uniting the thousands who
find the Communist Party too radical
and the independent labor party too
much a liberal organization; and the

Lewis Repudiates Convention De-
mands.
Delegate Edmunds, chairman of the
executive committee reporting for the
executive committee to the regular
session called attention to the fact
that an agreement was reached be-
tween the miners officials and the
bosses which did not carry a single
demand of the miners Tri-District
convention last July. He pointed out
that regardless Of the action taken by
the general grievance committee at
their special session last Tuesday in
unanimously instructing Lewis to
stand by the Tri-District convention
demands, they were not needed by the
scale committee. He pointed out
that the demands fought for all these
months were forgotten at this crucial
stage, particularly the check-off. Ed
munds was bitter in his condemna-
ton of the agreement as he pointed
out an arbitration clause incorporated
in it dressed up in new suit" to
fool the miners.
He was followed by many delegates
who bitterly attacked the agreement
as formulated Delegate Sillinsxy of
Local No. 699, showed that the five
year agreement was more detrimental
than good and attacked Lewis for
again separating the soft and hard
coal miners by the signing of agree
ments which expire at different per-
iods and for his failure to call out
the maintenance men and declare a
100 per cent strike. He stated, This
contract, as now constituted, carries
an arbitration clause, and we have
arbitration now whether we want it
or not"

policies of Lewis as inefficient, wav-
