NO CALL FOR ANY
MASS PICKETING
ISSUED BY LEWIS
On a Worker Correspondenl.l

NEW KINGSTON, Pa, June 20.-
A mass meeting was held this after
noon under The auspices Of the United
Mine Worlnrs Of America at which
President Lewis, Vice President Muir
ray, Van A. Bittner and Pat. Pagan
spoke. A crowd between four and
five thousand came to the meeting to
hear these speakers, expecting to hear
something about what plans these Of
ficers had for relief, picketing and
various other phases of the strike but
they were very badly disappointed as
not word was mentioned about these
all important subjects.
Instead Of organizing a system of
relief for the miners and leading mass
demonstrations at the mines now
working, they said that the Pittsburg
Coal Co. is losing money by operating
with scab labor and that the Valley
Camp Coal Co. is almost bankrupt.
This is unimportant to the coal miners
as they are not fighting just these two
coal companies but all of the coal
operators in the state of Pennsylvania
and the rest Of the United States. If
these two companies would go bank
rupt this would not change the min
ers' problems in the least.
The needs of the miners union to-
day are the two most important things
that Lewis and the other speakers
failed to mention, namely, mass pick
citing and relief for the miners and
their families. Without relief funds
no strike can be carried on for any
length of time. At present there is
little or no relief given with the re-
suit that there are many who are in
actual need. But this did not seem
to worry Lewis in the least. What
worried him the most was if Jim Pals
leys' god would justify the action of
the Valley Camp Coal Co. in trying
to cut the wages of its miners.
Need Picketing.
Another very important question
which all Of the speakers failed to
mention was picketing. Without pick
citing no strike can be won. A few
pickets can be easily chased away
from the mine and therefore can dc
little or no good. But what is needed
is an organized picket line under the
leadership of the International, dis.
trict and sub-distlict officers. taking
in thousands Of miners to approach
the non-union men and induce them
not to scab and break the strike.
