A Temporary Defeat in the Anthracite

pays to chase the wolf away from the
door, we will again enter the fray and
Lewis shall not betray us a second
time. Let the capitalists rave and
gloat; our time is coming in the very
near future, and we will recoup our
losses, and will gain our demands.
Already turnout the anthracite the
militant progressive miners are or
ganizing for their program, and the
rank and file are indorsing the pro-
gram in almost every local union in
the field. This program, which calls
for a 100 per cent strike in the indus
try, would have won the miners
strike, and nobody knows that better
than Lewis and his reactionary ma
chine. National yearly agreements,
shorter workday and shorter week,
ETC., etc, will be fought for in the min
ing industry in America in the very
near future, and all the Lewises, Far
ringtons and Cappellinis will not be
able to stop it.
The reconvened convention which
Endorsed the agreement stands out as
the most despicable act of the labor
takers. The miners representation
was cut down to mere nothing in
comparison with the convention that
formulated the demands. No opposi-
ton was permitted. No discussion was
allowed to the progressive miners
delegates. Ed. Sharfenburg, the mill
tant miner, attempted to take the dis
cussion of the merits and dement's of
the agreement onto the floor of the
convention, but was Immediately ex-
PEELED from the convention. The min
ers demanded that the progressive
miners leaflets which carried the
progressive miners program be read

to the convention. But altho Lewis
stated that it was because Sharfen-
burg had Endorsed the program and
distributed it, that he was expelled,
and altho the delegates and miners in
the galleries demanded that it be
read, Lewis refused to permit it to
be read.
Many miners stated that if the pro-
gram had been read, the delegates
would have refused to ratify the con-
tract.
And so the strike passes into his
tory as Americas BLACK Friday" and
we, like the British miners, will not
forget it.
The settlement is made. A settle
ment that settles nothing. The min
ers are more disconnected than be-
fore they came on strike. They see
everything gone for the present time,
they see that their six months strug-
gle proves to be in vain for the pres
ent, they see that their officials are to
blame for the temporary defeat, and
not the strength Of the operators. The
miners know that the strike could
have been won by pulling out the
maintenance men, by bringing ont the
bituminous men to support them, and
they are determined that the bunch
of traitors will not have it in their
power to betray them much longer.
Anthracite miners! Build up the
United Mine Workers of America in
cooperation with the progressive min
ers The progressive miners pro-
gram is the only program the miners
have, and the program which will
make the miners union the fighting
organization for the benefit of the coal
diggers that was in days gone by.

N1E expect the capitalist press to
w gloat over the betrayal. That is
its service to its class. But surely the
miners are entitled to expect some
thing different from their leaders. We

away ten new Buick sedans to peonle
who in his opinion deserve befisv

have been in constant use since the
day they were delivered to the lucky
owners.
Two cars in Gloversville, n. Y. and
one in Greenwich. Mass. were given
to ministers of needy parishes who
ordinarily would never dream al

The Old Mechanic Says:

I forget the name of the doctor who

maxim, and that's the important thing.
He used to say. IT'S more important
to know what sort of patient has the

Lately I've beer applyin' this to the

ders. Now when motorist comes in to
my shop with complaint first make
an analysis of the man himself. The
trouble with the car is secondary.
A nervous owner is likely to be wor-
ryin' over something that may be just
what any experienced driver would ex-
pect. But the fellow who is happy-go-

car that it isn't workin' just right.
Here I study it's owner. One driver
could keep right on goin' with that

| stranded in no time. try to figure out
what sort of an owner I've got.
Take a clutch that has been adjusted

| tfghtenin' it without re-linin' the
plates. 1 come across many cases like
| this, but my course of action depends
| upon the driver. If he is the sort of
| driver who keeps his foot off the
| clutch pedal, once he has shifted the
| gears, 1 figure that he can@go for a
month or more before a repair Job. But
! If the driver is one of those fidgety
fellers who're always pressin' on the
clutch pedal I tell him he ought to
| leave the car for a day till fix it.
| Knocks in engines used to have me

| gettin' on to the owners. It's sort of

drivers they are before attemptin' to
