BY GEORGE PAPcuN.

A CCORDING to the Department OF
n Commerce, Bureau of Mines,
there is very rapid increase Of the
automatic machines which load coal,
displacing hundreds of workers in the
coal industry. In 1925, according to
the report, 50 mines in 10 states had
installed $40 machines which loaded
6,24S, 104 net tons of coal. Fourteen
other mines had AZ machines but did
not report the tonnage loaded by
them.
Lewis Ignores Issue.
Tho the use Of machine in loading
coal in the United States is only in
the experimental stage, but since 1928
1t is reported that the increase Of coal
loaded by machines has been over g.
100000 as yet John L. Lewis tn eprs-
ident of the miners union, has not
taken 1t into consideration. No pro-
visions in the contracts have been
made for the miners who are being
displaced daily by the use of the coal
loading machine.
In 1925, 1t seemed that the coal op-
orators had been trying to put this
coal loading machine into operation
especially in the non-union fields or
where the operators are making sire
nuous attacks on the union, and where
the union is somewhat weakened such
as West Virginia, Virginia, Wyoming,
Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois and
Indiana and these are the states
which the production of coal by the
coal loading machine leads.

A fight cannot be made in the pro.

Catholics in Poland
Launch Fascist Move
to Gust Pilsudski

WARSAW, Poland, Dec. ga move
ment against Marshal Pilsudski, Po-
fish dictator, is being launched in
western Poland by catholic fascists.
Dmowsk, who, controls the reaction
airy faction in that district, is the
leader of the movement. The inten-
ton Of Dmowski is to establish a gov
eminent on fascist principles, to abol-
ish elections and the parliament. The
catholic church will dominate the
government" as all officials are to
be catholics.
To crush this opposition, as well as
other opposition, Pilsudsld has issued
two new DEGREES. One is that not
only are writer's and publishers liable
to criminal action for speaking
against the government, but private
individuals are also restrained. The
other rule is that newspapers are
forced to print government denials
conspicuously on the front page.

been found to be defying the antitrust

VICIOUS ATTACK
MADE ON BROPHY
BY LEWIS PAPER
u. M. w. Journal Raises
Red Scare Again

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. S.-Under the
caption, Warning to Members" the
United Mine Workers Journal, Of
fetal organ of the John L. Lewis ma
chine of the United Mine Workers
Union, makes a scurrilous, and in
so far as the paper is supposed to be
the official union mouthpiece, an
atrociously unfair attack upon the mil
itants in the union who are supporting
John Brophy for president against
Lewis in the elections to be held on
Dec. IA.
Work of searles.
The article, unsigned, is plainly the
work of the editor of the journal, Ellis
Searles, notorious for his red mania"
The burden of the attack falls upon
the Coal Miner, semi-monthly news
paper published at Springfield, ILL.,, I'M
der the editorship of Frank Keeney,
well-known progressive, and receiving
the unqualified support Of the pro-
gressive miners behind John Brophy,
president of District 2, who is run
ming against Lewis for president of
the international.
Searles resorts to the old stunt OF
raising the bolshevik DOGGY. He
charges that the Coal Miner is edited
by Communists, that Brophy's election
statements are written by bolsheviks
and that the object of the Coal Miner
and the supporters Of Brophy for pres
ident is to take over the United Mine
Workers Union for the bolsheviks
and use it as lever to overthrow the
United States government.
Coal Miner Warns.
As If sensing the article appearing
In the United Mine Workers Journal
dated Dec. /, the issue of the Coal
Miner for the same date prints an edi-
torial containing the following: 1T
Is almost certain that the red DOGGY
will be used at this time, and we have
no means Of discovering yet what
other lies will be told"
The Coal Miner warns the union
members against last-minute pre-elec-
ton fabricatlons that may be circu-
lated by the official union press
against Brophy and his supporters.

JOHN |. LEWIS IGNORES PROBLEM
ARISING FROM NEW MINE MACHINES

trying to solve the problem as to
what is going to become of the thou
sands of miners who will be displac-
cd by the machine, for eventually
these miners will be used against the
miners union. The miners must force
tie leadership to Immediately recog-
nize the, problem, which in the past
year has made such Roadway, and
which in a few more years will be a
very big problem for the union and
for the mine workers in general UNI
less the miners recognize it, and try
to find ways and means of solving
the problem Of what is going to be-
come of the thousands of miners who
are displaced by this automatic coal
leading machine.
AS yet, according to the report, no
data has been received for The year
of 1926, but the report states that
there will be shown an increase in
the coal loading machines In 1926, and
according to the statements of DIFF
ferent coal magazines, it is going to
be bigger increase than from 1928
to 1925.
The miners must recognize that
the one way of solving this problem
to a certain extent is the adoption
and the carrying out OF the program
of the opposition candidates against
the Lewis machine led by John Bro
phy as is explained in his larger pro
gram for the miners union and also
in the open letter which was sent to
the membership of the U. NJ. w. A.
by John Brophy and the opposition
candidates; the organization of the
unorganized miners; the nationalist
ton of the coal mines, a Labor Party.
This viii to a certain extent solve
the situation.

WASHINGTON Dec. s. Rumors
that Gen. Leonard Wood may resign

credence here following reports on
what Col. Carmi Thompson, Coolidge's

tho supposed to be confidential, is
reliably reported to contain the warn
ing that civil strife is imminent In
the islands because of friction be-
tween Gen. Wood and the Filipino
legislature.
Z Can't Heal Breach.
Thompson reported that there Is no
chance of healing the breach between
Woods administration and the local
government. Woods action in abolish

to prevent revolt, the report limited.

300 Square Mile Oil Structure
OF total of 12,700 square miles
in Palestine proper, Mr.. Fohs said,
more than three hundred square
miles offer structural conditions war
ranting testing for oil and gas. The
Sinaitic Peninsula also offers posi-
bilities, he said, although there is
little possibility of oil in Western
1ransjordania.
with ample reservoir beds, with
ample source material and with good
structural traps we see every reason
for the development of an oil sup,
