Lewis Attacks the Constitution

across, men like Woll and Lewis
reckon without their rank and file.
The mine workers with their fighting
traditions will never let their union
be turned into a tool of the coal
barons.
Nor will the building trades work
ers, who are generally regarded as
Conservative trade unionists, ever
consent to their unions being turned
into speed-up machines and their Of
ficials into foremen and straw bosses.
The old trade union philosophy of not
working so fast as to lead to exhaust
ton, the old plan to snake work" for
other workers by not hogging it all
yourself, was not very revolutionary,
but is far better working class pol
icy than the speed-up policy and the
please-the-boss policy of the VOLS
and the Lewises. The rank and file
of the trade unions have not yet had
their final say to this new theory of
their officialdom.
AS far as the United Mine Work
ers are concerned, the miners only
really begin to fight after the bosses
think they are licked. And Lewis,
agent for the coal barons. will yet
find that out.

symbol of the long battle for nation
alization of the mines as a step to-
ward their being worked for the use
of the community and the welfare of
the miners and not for private profit
of the coal barons.
This move is in line with the gen
eral policy of the trade union bureau
cracy, best expressed by Matthew
Woll, of making the trade unions ire
spectacle" making them satisfactory
to the bosses, making them an aid
to the bosses in increasing produc-
ton, in speeding up, in increased
profit at the expense of the workers.
The Lewis Wolf plan means the con-
version Of the trade unions into agen-
cies of the boss, the officials into
foremen and straw bosses paid not
by the boss but by the dues of the
membership; it means the converting
Of our unions into company unions
with the difference that they have
officials not directly employed by the
company, dues, per capita and meet
ings outside of the plant. These are,
of course, important differences, but
the tendency is clear just the same.

By BERTRAM d. WOLFE.

The chief obstacle to the destruc-
ton of the United Mine Workers
Union is the fighting spirit and fight
ing traditions of its rank and file.
One of these traditions was the
clause placed in the constitution of
the U. M. w. of A. by its founders
way back in 1890 declaring that the
union is organized to obtain for its
members "the full social value of
their product"
Scar" Lewis and the administra-
ton machine on Wednesday attacked
this famous section of the preamble
of the union constitution, giving az
their ground that "the. bosses object
ed and called the union socialistic."
And the machine substituted for "full
social value of their product" the
words ian equitable share of the
fruits of their labor"
The preamble of union constitu-
ton is only symbol, but the clause
just wrecked by Lewis was the SYM

flinching fight for the interests of

970,000,000 tons. Best estimates put
about 709o of this capacity in the
non-union column. The country re-
quires only 500,000,000 tons a year.
Since the windup of the British coal
dispute production has, in general,
been ahead of consumption, running
in number of weeks to 100000
and event 100000 tons. Prob
ably 100000 to 100000 tons week
have been going to swell stocks of
coal which would supply the country
for weeks even if non-union miners
joined their union brothers in walk
out. Total stocks may now have
reached the 60,000,O0O ton mark.
In the past week operators of the
central competitive field have been
meeting in Toledo to determine their
wage policy. Apparently they will
urge sliding scale based on wages
paid in the competing non-union
fields. Their present suggestion is
that union operators pay perpetual
differential of 1879 to 1870 above nom
union rates of pay. This resembles
the situation during the 20 years pre-
ceding 1920. In that period, how
ever, the fact that union wages were
geared to the market for coal was
concealed by a steady upward trend of
prices and wages.
The two ways in which the miners
can break this dependence of union
wages on non-union wages are either
organization of enough of the coun-
try's capacity to force operators to
fix prices on the basis of a decent
wage or a successful movement for
government operation.

IN the nOn-unlon fields.
Just four days before Pittsburgh
Coal announced it's wage cut the
United Mine Workers Journal made
the following editorial comment on
this giant of the industry: "The best
evidence that it can pay the Jackson
vile wage rate is that it is doing it
now and recently announced that it
would make no further reductions"
The action of Pittsburgh Coal prac-
tically completes the return of nom
union producers to the 1917 scale.
The international convention of the
union is now in session in Indianap-
oils.
Reductions in most West Virginia
fields were effective Jan. 3. In prac-
tically all instances the rates of pay
now in effect there are about a third
under the Jacksonville scale. At the
Ben Franklin Coal Co. mine at
Moundsville about $50 of the 200
miners struck, but in general the cut
caused little trouble. The test has
convinced the operators that the
union will get scanty support from
the non-union fields in case of a
strike. Only the remote possibility of
a railroad strike on coal roads could
prevent the non-union mines from
supplying the country with plenty of
scab coal.
The United Mine Workers, by treat
ing the temporary non-union wage in
creases as a vindication of its policy,
has played into the hands Of the oper-
ators. The latest full report of the
federal bureau of mines placed the
annual capacity of the bituminous in
dustry on full-time basis in 1923 at !

THOSE responsible for the bomb
i explosion were never apprehend-
ed because the government did not
dare tackle the Du Point powder
people. The bankers gave their
money to Burns to arrest the con-
spirators until it hurt-the bankers.
Then they also began to look on
"Bill" with a jaundiced eye. So
"Bill" went to work for Harry
Daugherty and Jess Smith. But he
still kept raving that he knew who
committed the outrage. Then a wise
reporter got the idea that perhaps
Burns did know. Wouldn't it be fun
if Burns did know?

la rest for a while. He was busy
framing up on senator's who were
after Harry Daugherty's scalp. The
cabinet that Harry was member
Of, was about to sell the army and
navy after peddling the naval oil
reserves to Doheny and Sinclair.
