will 60 down in the annals Of
American labor history as one of
the most disastrous acts of treach-
cry ever inflicted upon a large
mass organization of labor. By
the act of John L. Lewis and his
henchmen, the United Mine Work
ers has been wrecked and the rank
and file miners who have seen
their mighty organization ruinec
must begin the arduous task of
starting anew to build an organ
ization that viii be able to fight
stubbornly to regain all that John
L. Lewis has surrendered to the
capitalists.

Mr.. Lewis cloaks his outrageous
act of treachery in the following
words, according to the editorial
in John L. Lewis official journal,
the United Mine Workers Jour
nal:
"They have modified their wage
policy as their gigantic contribu-
tion towards the stabiIization of
the coal industry. By this sacri-
flee they again prove their 10y
atty to the public welfare. Now
let the coal operators and the pub
lie do as much as the miners have
done"

STATEMENT OF THE WORKERS COMMUNIST PARTY

The strike of the bituminous
coal miners has collapsed. The
collapse of the 15-months strike
in which the rank and file miners
and their families put up he
roic struggle, undergoing tremen-
dous hardships and making super
human sacrifices is due to the
conscious treachery, incompetency
and corrupt practices of John L.
Lewis, the president of the United
Mine Workers of America, his In
ternational Executive Board and
district officials.

toll in the bowels of the earth,

With oratorical bombast John
L. Lewis, assuming a pose of
fighting opposition to the coal op-
orators, declared at the begin
ming of the strike to the thou
sands of miners who were pre-
pared to fight to the last ditch,
that the United Mine Workers of
America would never take a back
ward step, that the Jacksonville
scale would be maintained.
Now that the Jacksonville scale
has been abandoned and the btu

LEWIS PLEADS GUILTY.

These are fine words. Franker
words were never uttered by a
traitor to the working class. By
these words, John L. Lewis pleads
guilty to selling out the miners.
To interpret the above so that
every miner who tolls in the hot
bowels of the earth digging coal,
can understand, Lewis admits
that he agreed to abandon the
miners wage of $3.50 per day as
a gigantic contribution to the
coal operators.
Lewis and his officials, who
squandered millions of the miners
money during the strike, drawing
big salaries. have refused con-
LOYALTY".
This was no willing sacrifice
on the part of the miners. These
conditions of savage exploitation,
jungle conditions of competition
between the miners, low wages,
part-time employment, and per-
manent unemployment for over
one-quarter of a million miners,
are not the result OF conscious
public sacrifice on the part of
the miners, but the logical out
come of treacherous, corrupt re-
dictionary and criminal policies of
John L. Lewis.
The stabilization of the indus
try that will result will be hailed
with glee by the operators who
are impatiently waiting to turn
the misfortunes Of the miners in
to additional fabulous profits,
while for the miners it will mean
a nightmare of capitalist fright

fulness, hunger, increased ex-
ploitation, industrial despotism,
and abject poverty and degreda-
ton of the one-quarter Of mill
lion miners and their families
who will be driven from the in
dustry.'
Mr.. Lewis states that by this
sacrifice they tthe miners) again
prove their loyalty to the public
welfare. Mr.. Lewis forgets about
the welfare of the miners in his
loyalty and subserviency to the
public welfare of the capitalists.
Mr.. Lewis has made the "su-
preme sacrifice of leading the
miners to defeat and the destruc-
tion of their organization in or
der that the capitalists could
overcome the crisis in the coal
industry at the expense of the
miners.

sistently to give adequate relief.
Nevertheless, they found no diff
ficulty in making, at the expense
of the miners and their families,
contribution to the Capitalists
towards the establishment Of the
industry. Il
What does this stabiIization
mean to the miners? 1t means
destruction of their union. n
means wage cuts, it means sharp
ening competition between the
union and non-union fields, fur
ther reduction in wages, greater
speeding up of the miners, longer
hours, also, and the driving out
of the coal mines of over one
quarter of a million miners.

estimated to be hungry and without

The toll Of known dead Jumped
from 253. to 800 when advices came
from three towns which had been

with conditions estimated that the
total deaths would be more than

Despite the staggering blow

rich soil which has been the basis Of
Porto Rico's wealth.

Detailed Plans Not
Necessary in Small
Home Construction
(By the Building Editor)

Although the practice was consid-
cred unthinkable by home builders
20 years ago, many fine homes now
are being constructed without de-
tailed plans or specifications and are
proving satisfactory, according to J.
G. Beattie, contractor who is build
ing the Bismarck demonstration
home.
Opc, of the principal reasons is
the change in ideas as to the proper
arrangement of home during the
last decade and the fact that the
business of architecture has been
put on . quantity basis.
Architects found that it took even
more time and effort to design q
house, no matter how small, than to
design = larger building. Because
Of the fact that q house is to be
lived in it is q more complex prob
lem than to design . larger build
ing-and there was small profit in
It.
At five per cent for designing and
supervising the construction Of a
$1,000 home, the architect received
only $3.50 for a. much work as
would be required to design and su-
pervise the erection Of q building
costing $4,000.
So the architects pooled their re-
sources and are now saving them
selves this trouble. The answer to
the architects problem also resulted,

Records Being Secured on 100
Carloads of Combined Grain
from Garrison, Ryder, Ma
koti, and Parshall-Results
Satisfactory

Fargo, N. d., Sept. 1S.-The study
of marketing combine grain, under
the direction of DR.. A. H. Benton,
head Of the marketing department of
the North Dakota Agricultural COL
lege and chairman of the committee
on combine investigation, has pro-
crossed with satisfaction. Records
are being secured on 100 carloads Of
combined grain and an equal amount
of shocked grain. These records are
being kept both as the grain is re-
ceived at the country elevators and
as it sells on the terminal markets
of Duluth and Minneapolis.
The towns Of Garrison, Ryder,
Makoti and Parshall were chosen as
centers where studies are to be made.
These places were just visited by DR..
Benton. This phase of the combine
harvesting studies is being carried
on at present by H. G. Anderson,
assistant to DR.. Benton. The local
elevators and grain commission COM
panies are cooperating in the study.
The towns of Garrison, Ryder, Ma
koti and Parshall were chosen as
points for study because of the large
number Of combines operating in
these territories this season. There
were over so machines sold in the
vicinity of Garrison this summer, &C.
cording to DR.. Benton.
A grain dryer, the first of its lind
to be installed by an elevator COM
pany, was recently put in by the
Robideaux Grain company of Par
shall. The dryer was installed to
take care Of grain too damp for safe
storage. A large number of wind
rover machines have been sold in the
state in connection with the combine
machines, and they are apparently
giving good satisfaction.
