chairman felt that he could no longer
cope with the situation, so the vice
chairman took the gavel. The bust
ness representative had to admit that
under present circumstances and pol
icies that this labor bureau could not
work. The left wingers pointed out
that as long as class collaboration,
guerilla warfare and favoritism were
shown and as long as politics were
the basis Of distribution of jobs, so
long would the labor bureau fail to
work.
A sentiment crystallized against the
labor bureau It was pointed out in
individual cases that the labor bureau
was nothing but blind and that
great injustice was being done to
some to favor others.
Defeat Reactionarles' Reforms.
An amendment attempting to reno
del the labor bureau so as to Elk the
past mistakes" was proposed by the
meeting. This was voted down. An
other melee started. The meeting
broke up after midnight with ma
chine supporters smuggling left wing
ers. Members of both sides came away
with blackened eyes and broken noses.
Some were kicked downstairs, others
were pushed outside. Again the police
came on the scene to stop the slug
ging.
The police arrested four members
of the union. Three OF the machine
men were arrested while beating a
number of left wingers with black
jacks and fists. One of the left wing
ers was arrested while trying to de-
fend himself from an assault on him
by the reactionaries.

old BEN COAL
COMP ANY OPENS
NON-UNION Mines
Milit Organization
Drive Is Needed
By LELAND oLDs, Federated Press

BY LELAND oLDS, Federated Press.
Nonunion coal undersold Illinois and
Indiana coal at every turn. 1t was
being introduced to the trade in larger
quantities than ever before because
of the extensive operations of leading
union operators in the nonunion fields.
So runs the Chicago Journal of Com
.merce report of the Chicago coal mar
ket on the last day of the 1925-26 coal
year.
old Ben Goes open-Shop
Old Ben Coal corporation is the lat
est union operator to strike against
the Jacksonville wage scale in viola
ton of the agreement. 1t is one of the
largest producers of coal in the United
States. 1t has followed the Peabody
Coal Co. in securing the output of nom
union mines in Kentucky. It has gone
a step further by purchasing nonunion
mines with large production of smoke
less coal in West Virginia.
This move of Old Ben follows the
closing of 10 of its IL large mines in
Franklin and Williamson counties, I'LL
nois. The II mines when working en-
ploy about 5000 union miners. An
nouncing its new policy the company
says in part: "To meet all competi-
tive market conditions, and to reduce
strike interruptions to a minimum,
Old Ben Coal corporation has secured
control of ample tonnage from the
most desirable nonunion fields"
Move to Non-Union Field.
Says the Journal of Commerce: "In
moving onto the nonunion territory the
concern aims at keeping its large cap
ital active. Other operators in Illinois
are making identical moves. A few
are still in process Of negotiation. In
the switches the producers are looking
ahead more than year. Next spring
the union coal fields are expected to
be tied up in protracted strike as a
result of failure of the operators and
United Mine Workers of America to
agree on a new wage scale. Since the
nonunion mines will directly benefit
from the controversial suspensions the
operators are eager and anxious to tie
up and control as much nonunion ton
mage as possible in order to have coal
for their regular customers and con-
tracts when the wage dispute is on"
Here the operator strategy stands
revealed. The Jacksonville agreement
has covered a period in which capital
temporarily shifted to the nonunion
fields. This shift was first noted in
the spring Of 1923, when the big open
shop manufacturing interests were
urged to make their purchases from
nonunion mines. The conspiracy
against union miners continued with
the manipulation of railroad rates in
favor of nonunion coal. II has now
reached its last stage, when the mer-
gers, which were expected TO eliminate
overproduction, are seen to combine
nonunion with union production. IL is
planned to keep the union properties
idle until the miners accept the opera
tors terms, while the nonunion mines
keep these same operators in ready
money.
The future Of the United Mine Work
ers depends upon rank and file morale

Equal Division of Work.
4. For the purpose of decreasing
the power Of the bosses due to the lay
ing off or discharge Of workers we de-
mand that there shall be an equal di-
vision of work between the members
at all times.
5. We declare for one system of
work in a department, either all week
work or all piece work, not both. But
we pledge ourselves to work for the
ultimate elimination of the piece work
system as a measure for the improve
ment of the conditions of the workers.
6. We demand that minimum
wage in every line of work shall be es-
tablished.
Five-Day Week.
z. Owing to the development of
machinery which has made it possible
20 produce many times the product
formerly produced without the aid of
machinery and realizing that this Ia
Dor saving machinery is also the prod
uct of labor, We pledge ourselves to
work for the establishment of the
iiye-day week of eight hours each,
thereby gaining for the workers some
OF the benefits of this labor saving
machinery.
8. We demand the elimination of
the arbitration machinery from all flu.
ture agreements.
8. We propose that the constitution
shall be amended so as to state speci-
fically that any official of the organ
ization shall be recalled by a major
ity vote.

FURRIERS' union
REACTIONARIES
SLUG MILITANTS
Fear Any Discussion of
Many Determinations
ey a Worker cOrrespondent

The reactionaries in control of Fur
riers Union Local No. As have at last
run out of arguments and have started
guerilla warfare, using fists and the
iron heel to crush their opposition.
At the last meeting of the local held
at $50 West Washington St., when the
left wingers in the union protested
against the continual discrimination
against union members by the labor
bureau in handing out jobs and
against the exoneration of one of the
members of the conference committee
caught for the second time violating
union rules, the machine began to use
fists on the militants. The smuggling of
militants stopped only when police ar
rived in the hall.
Fear Discussion.
The meeting started with the read
ing Of the minutes of the previous
meeting as we'll as those of the ex-
ecutive board meeting of April 1. A
discussion arose over the recommen-
dalton of the executive committee,
giving the one man who runs the
labor board lump sum of 500 for
his good service" As he was only
staying at the Office and enjoying him
self playing pinocle and for this good
work" money was needed, the left
wing protested. The machine refused
to allow a discussion on the question,
fearing an exposure of the situation.
They railroaded the matter thru.
When it came to the minutes of the
executive board of April 8, the ma
chine found it not so easy to railroad
thru their recommendations. Tho the
chairman tried to force their adop-
ton the left wingers succeeded in
having them acted on point by point.
The question of one of the conference
members violating the union agree
ment was then brot to light. The
members of the executive board re-
ported that not enough evidence was
disclosed to declare this lackey of the
machine guilty. They admitted that
he had worked for the second time as
a salesman and declared he "had a
special privilege to do So" altho he
did not ask for permission from the
union. He was to be given another
chance declared machine supporters
as the committee that testified seeing
him on the job had not been author
lied by the union and that he, as a
conference committee member was
entitled to violate the agreement
made with the fur manufacturers.
Assault Left Wingers.
When the left wing began to expose
the protection this conference COM
mittee member was receiving the ma
chine went wild. Fists began to fly
in different parts OF the hall. A riot
call was sent to the police. When the
police arrived, the fighting subsidized
and peace and quiet reigned for the
time being. The machine found no
way out, so they agreed to discuss the
matter at the coming meeting Of the
union two weeks away.
Discuss Discrimination.
The tactics and methods of the la
Dor bureau were then taken up. The

Unemployed Millions,
But Germany to Have
Surplus for Colonies

BERLIN-Germany will soon have
surplus of accumulated capital avail
able for investment in foreign coun-
tries, said DR.. Schacht, the president
of the reichsbank, in an address to
the German Colonial Society.
DR.. Schacht proposed that this CAPT.
tai should be modified for use thru
the agency Of chartered companies, to
which certain territories might be as
signed, and thus Germany would re-
sumo her colonial activities. The di-
rectors Of these companies should, he
proposed, be politically independent of
the governments Of the reich or the
states.
Unemployed Millions.
Meanwhile the unemployed still run
over 100000 and industrial condi-
tons are very bad. Conflicts are con-
tinually breaking out between the
police and the starving workers.
In Dortmund in the Rhineland
area, such a battle occurred when the
police tried to break up demonstra-
ton of the unemployed. The workers
stoned the police who were forced to
give ground until reinforcements ar
rived. The police then fired blank
cartridges. AS this had no effect on
the crowds a charge was ordered, and
the unemployed scattered by the lib
eral use of sabers and truncheons.
This was the fourth conflict in a ten
day period. A considerable number
were injured on both sides.

COMMITTEE REPORT.


that human society is composed Of
two classes. One class which owns
the raw materials and the means Of
production and produces nothing and
the working class which owns nothing
and produces everything.
Between these two classes a con-
slant struggle goes on for the prod
uct of the working class which must
continue until one OF the other of
the classes is eliminated.
The owning class continually de-
mand more and ever more of the
product of labor in the form Of pro-
fits and the working class demands
more of their product in the form Of
wages.
Need For Organization.
Out of this struggle develops the
need for organization. The employers
on the one hand organize to protect
their interests and to suppress the
workers, thereby forcing the workers
to organize to protect themselves
against the encroachments of the
bosses.
Recognizing that there are no geo.
graphical lines dividing the classes
and that the interests of all capital
lists in their relation to the working
class are identical, the bosses organ
ize in trade associations, employers
associations and chambers of COM
merce both local, national and inter-
national.
One Union in Each Industry.
Therefore the workers should see
the necessity of organizing to protect
their interests in the same manner:
One union in each industry, local, ma
tional and international.
Therefore, we, the reorganization
committee of the American Shoe
Workers Union, pledge ourselves to
the following program:
l. Realizing that the growing pow
er Of the capitalists, due to the con-
solidation of industry and capital
makes it continually harder to win
strikes and improve conditions by the
workers divided into many small I'M
ions we pledge ourselves to use every
effort to reopen negotiations with the
Shoe Workers Protective Union for
the purpose of establishing one union
in the Shoe and Leather industry.
Against Glass Collaboration.
2. Relying on the goodwill and
mercy of the shoe manufacturers in
stead of the power of the union has
tied our hands with the class collabor-
alton clause known as clause 81 in
the agreement with the Manufacture
ers' Association; therefore, we pro-
pose to eliminate paragraph 81 from
all future agreements with the bosses:
Paragraph Fl.
"In all cases work shall be as
equally divided as practicable. The
meaning of this clause is clearly
that there shall be no favoritism
shown by the manufacturer in dis
tribution of work, and it is not in
tended to mean that there should be
as large crew employed in slack
seasons as in the busiest time, and,
it is not intended to change the
new prevailing practice of the last
man engaged to be the first man
laid off,"
3. For the purpose of giving great
er initiative and more responsibility
to the members by making the organ
ization more democratic, we propose
that the constitution be so amended,
that the question of strike shall be
