All bids for the construction

nouneed by r. e. Robertson, Presi-
dent. At present no decision has
been reached as to calling for
new tenders and the Board will
take no action in this regard I'M
til it has conferred by wire with
Harlan Thomas, Seattle architect
who prepared the plans and speci-
fications for the original bids.

The Board met this morning
with President Robertson, Seore-
tary Grover c. Wlnn and Director
M. L. Merritt in attendance 1t
had before it the bids rendered
here yesterday and those received
by cable from Mr.. Thomas in Sc
attic.
In addition to the general con-
struction bids, the low tenders for
heating and ventilation installa-
ton, and plumbing were cabled
from Seattle On the former Nc
Neal, Taylor Company bid S16,975.
while the low Seattle bid on the
plumbing job was 5000. The later
figure was more than $1,10O in ex-
cess of the bid of Oscar Harris,
local contractor, whose bid opened
yesterday was $4.816.
Exceeds Available Funds
The total of all low bids when
added to the money already ex-
pended for the building site ex-
ceeded the money available for
constructing the building, the
Board announced. The aggregate
of bids for the work and cost Of
site was given as being $115,775.
This does not cover the cost of
lighting fixtures and other neees-
sary school equipment which, ii
was estimated by the Board would
cost an additional $4,000. MAX
ing the total excess of cost S25,
IT'S more than the 100000 bond
issue with which the building
must be financed.
Tie Board had been advised
by Mr. Thomas that certain al-
teratlons in the plans and specifi-
cations could be made without
calling for new bids which would
reduce the cost $7,277. This re-
duction, however. would still leave
an exc ess of S1S,49S over the funds
available for building.
Orders Bids Rejected
Faced with this situation, the
Board by a unanimous vote adopt
ed resolution instructing Archi-
tect Thomas to reject all tenders
and to return to the bidders the
money deposited as a guarantee
of good faith. It cabled this di-

Union Officials,
District |, Take
Local to the Court

WILKESBARRE, Pa. Sept. 20. -
An injunction applied for by the
officials Of District 7, United mine
Workers of America, against Local
Union 55l6 has been granted by the
court of common pleas of Schuykill
county. The duly elected officers of
the local union are restrained from
collecting dues OF in any other way
exercising the functions of their Of
fices
Many Grievances.
Around the expelled local union
has grown up a large opposition
movement based on the many griev-
ances and violations of the contract
by the coal operators to which the
'district officials have failed to pay
proper attention
The large salaries and expense ac-
counts of the district officials have
also become an issue.
Local Union 5516 has issued
statement citing various grievances
and calling for an extraordinary"
district convention but no real pro-
gram has been submitted by it's COM
mittee.
The insurgent movement has weak
ened its case by taking position
on the check-off, arbitration and
dues payment which the district of
ficials find it possible to interpret
as operators propaganda. The whole
affair is marked by much confusion
but the district officials, instead of
adjusting the grievances which are
certainly legitimate, have invoked the
power of the courts against the
membership.
This has created further dissatis-
faction.
According to the opinion of min
ers who were active in the last cleo
ton in support of the Save the
Union" ticket headed by John Brophy
and who are working for militant
program for the U. NJ. w. of A., there
is the opportunity to organize a pow
erful left wing movement against the
incompetent and reactionary district
officialdom in opposition to injunction
processes in internal union affairs
and around a fighting program of
resistance to the coal operators who
are Systematically weakening the
union in the anthracite.
