The final victory over the Spanish
military despotism was not secured
until eleven years after the proclama-

Unofficial Hint of Break
With Gales Made
Especial to The Daily workerJ

MONTREAL, Sept. 2. - The execu-
tive council of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor adjourned its sessions
at the Mount Royal Hotel here without
taking a public position on the ques-
ton OF the attitude Of the A. F. Of l..
towards the situation in Mexico.
There was a hint that the develop
ments between now and the time the
A. F. Of L. convention convenes in
Detroit in October will influence the
recommendations to be made to the
convention on Mexico. There is also
rumoT that those who are opposed
to the Gales government on religious
grounds have demanded a break with
the, Mexican Federation Of Labor.
As usual, the council had nothing
20 disclose regarding its report to the
coming convention. Officially, it was
even less communicative concerning
the Mexican situation.
It was learned, however, that the
question, if it is raised at Detroit, will
not be put on a religious basis. There

TWO labor movements because, as they

has the backing Of the group that OPP
poses the Mexican labor movement on
religious grounds.
on the other hand there is a large
body Of sentiment in support of the
Pan-American Onion which would be
practically wrecked by a falling out
between the labor movements Of Mex
tco and the United States. The adj
vocates Of maintaining the union seem
to make no hesitation about putting
the question on the following basis;

Drank DARLINGTON has been
4 suspended as president Of the
United Mine Workers of Illinois for
signing a contract with the Peabody
Coal company,to become its labor
counsel" at $4,000 per year.
This action suspending Earring
ton was taken quickly by the min
ers' district executive board after
the actual facts Of the signing of the
contract had become public prop
erty. The executive board members
could not blink the fact that a crime
had been committed against trade
unionism, even as it exists today in
the United States.
The question as to how far an
American labor official may go in
committing treason to the working
class in this country has received an
answer as it applies to the miners
union.
Harrington, like many other labor
officials, no doubt felt that there was
no limit, that the membership of
the miners union could be made to
stand for anything" on the suppo-
sition that it was none Of their
business" whether he was dicker-
ing with the bosses for a soft job
while at the same time heading the
miners union.
Harrington joined with President
John L. Lewis in breaking the dis
trict organizations in Kansas and
Nova Scotia, helping former Governor
Allen, of Kansas, of industrial court
infamy send Alex Howat to jail.
Harrington shamelessly padded his
expense accounts until the question
became a matter of intense discus
sion on the floor of international
miners conventions. Harrington sup
ported the employers government
in convicting members of the union
in the frame-up at Zeigler, Illinois.
He committed these and many other
crimes, anyone of which should have
been sufficient to drive both Lewis
and Harrington out Of the organiza-
ton. But only part Of the member
ship protested. The majority Of the
unions members remained inert,
leaving its militant sections to ask,
How long? How long?" The an
swer has come at last.
An effort was made, to be sure,
in the executive board to save Far
rington. But it was fruitless. He
had to go.
But Farrington's exit was not en-
tirely accomplished by the rank and
file Of the miners organization, who
would ultimately have learned all
the sordid details themselves, to
bear out their long-standing sus-
picions. In fact, the making public
of Farrington's relations with the
mine owners was in great part
grandstand play by President Lewis
before the unions membership in
an affort to gain some prestige for
himself.
This is an old trick that has been
somewhat successfully played, for a
time, by reactionary officials in the
miners union in the past.
1t was Tom Lewis, who succeeded
John Mitchell as head of the United
Mine Workers Of America nearly
score of years ago, who posed as
an enemy of the National Civic Fed

Ousting of harrington
Must Be Made Action of
Rank and File of Labor
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

GRAFTON, Of which Mitchell, Sam
Gompers and other reactionary ia
Dor lieutenants" of capitalism were
at that time active members. Lewis,
the conservative, took up the fight
against the Civic Federation when
he saw that this issue was popular
in the miners union. He secured
the passage of the resolution de-
handing that members of the
miners union either get out Of the
union or out of they Civic Federation.
Mitchell had to getAou OF the Civic
Federation, quittingS Gompers' COM
pany, in order to holdVlis card in the
miners union. Lewis however, is
now an agent Of the mosG anti-union
coal barons in the New hiver field
in open shop" West Virginia Tom
Lewis was merely playing politics
with this issue.
Harrington is merely following in
the footsteps of Tom Lewis inN be-
coming an agent of the mine own
ers. This is the harrington who made
the socialist, Oscar Ameringer, edk
tor of the miners official organ, theA
illinois Miner, under his regime. But
it is just as certain that John Lewis
is playing politics with Farrington's
going. His fight is no more sincere
than the fight Of Tom Lewis before
him.
The rank and file Of the coal
miners union did not develop their
struggle against the class collabora-
ton schemes of the National Civic
Federation, that won victories for
them many years ago. They lost
ground with the result that the fight
must now be made all over again.
William Green, the former secretary
Of the miners international union,
who is now head of the American
Federation of Labor, in spite Of his
non-membership in the National
Civic Federation, carries on friendly
relations with the employing class
interests on a much larger scale
than Mitchell or Gompers ever did.
The harrington episode, therefore,
offers an opportunity to carry on
this fight not only against Earring
ton, where Lewis would like to have
it stop, but thruout the whole juris-
diction Of the United Mine Workers
Union, and into all the affiliated or
CARNATIONS of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and the Independent
labor unions.
Every worker in America must be
made to feel that the fight against
harrington, and all that harrington
stands for in the American labor
movement, is his fight.
The ousting of Harrington can
only be made the action of the rank
and file Of the miners union If it is
followed by a complete purging of
the organization of all similar ele-
ments. This means President Lewis,
Vice-President Phil Murray, the
small fry of the Lewis regime in all
the districts and sub-districts, espe-
cially in Illinois. 1t means especial
ly the complete reputation of such
tools Of the Lewis regime as Inter-
national Organizer Van Bittner, of
the Pittsburgh district. who did the
dirty work of President Lewis in at
lacking and expelling the militants
of the organization.
