tlonalization Is the hope Of the coal

6rophy, president District 2, United
Mine Workers, told the Labor chau.
tauqua at .Daaus Mines, Elk county.
Without public ownership and work
ers' share 10 management, there is
no future for the miners, he said.
Brophy was speaking to a union hall
packed with men, women and chill
dren who have been bitterly suffering
from the evils of private ownership
and mismanagement of this basic in
dustry. Their employer, the, North
western Mining & Exchange Co., a
subsidiary of the Erie railroad, shut
down the mines three and half
months ago.
Must Fight For II.
International conventions Of the
miners union have gone on record for
the priciple of naturalization, said
the speaker. But he warned the
workers that the new system will not
come down like mama from the
skies. Much hard, earnest work is
necessary.
Naturalization must be made po-
Iitical issue, he said If the two old
parties fail to support the program,
then the miners must get together
with the rest of the workers and the
public and take steps to reorganize
the industry. Brophy urged that
study classes be formed in Dagus
Mines to acquaint the workers with
the larger program. Such classes
will be started there, it was announc-
ed at the close of the meeting, by
Paul W. Fuller, educational director
for the district union.
Will Fight Bosses on Wages.
With the vision of the larger pro-
gram before the workers the central
Pennsylvania district head believes
they will be able to fight their union
battles more effectively and wrest
larger concessions from the operators.
Dealing with the wage fights now In
progress Brophy said that every at
tempt of operators to modify or evade
the contracts they have signed will
be resisted
Naturalization was the keynote of
other Chautauqua addresses. Vice
President James Mark urged the
miners to press forward for the full
! produce of their toll, a condition
that could be realized more easily
when industry was nationalized.
Fuller likewise gave a spirited ma
tionalization talk, calling the miners
to make a New Declaration of indie
pendence."

amount impounded is $500.
While the referendum vote on

defiance of the eompany's efforts to
prevent it, the announcement was
made from the offices Of the Brook

that increases in wages will be

which side the fist of the district at

This action was taken by the dis
trict attorney at the instigation of the
employers, tho four strike pickets
were shot last Monday, by enemies of
the union.
Both Morris Sigman, president of
the /. L. G. w. u, and Louis Hyman,
chairman of the joint board of the
cloak unions, declared that the en-
ployers had embarked on a campaign
of terrorism to destroy the unions.

The union has announced officially
that one hundred shops have already
applied for settlements with the or

clique which maps out policies for the
entire industry. 1t is alleged that it is
equipped with a strong arm squad
which does not hesitate to shoot, con-
fident in the belief that it has friends
in court.
Strike pickets are being arrested
wholesale on charges of obstructing
traffic. Despite the united front be-
tween employers and government
forces, the workers are confident of
success
