w. A, the slashing of wage rates and
the destruction of working conditions.
The policy of Lewis has assisted not
hindered them in their program of
establishing the open shop. Corrupt
ing the union leadership and thus
paralysing the union, the operators
have smashed the U. NJ. W. A. in
district after district. Our member
ship has fallen off a full half. The
extent of their inroads upon our or
ganization is graphically illustrated
by the fact that whereas on the eve
of the 1922 strike 70 per cent of all
bituminous coal being produced was
dug by union miners, by April list,
1927, at the outbreak of the present
strike, the proportions have been al
most reversed, 70 per cent of the
bituminous coal being produced by
non-union miners. This alarming
loss of union production is a measure
of the. utter failure which the Lewis
administration has made at leading
our union.
The great coal producing compan-
les Of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West
Virginia, backed by the big financial
interests of Wall Street and the state
and national government, are out to
destroy our union. They have built
their whole open shop policy around
the hope Of dealing the u NJ. w. A.
it's deathbIow during the present
strike.
The Pittsburgh Coal Company,
Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
Bethlehem Mines Company, General
Motors Company, Jones and Laughlin
Steel Company, New York Central
Railroad Company, and other great
combinations of capital, massing
themselves for attack against the
union, began by shifting their pro-
duction to the southern non-union
coal fields and by building up rail-
road rates discriminating against
union territory, all of which was de-
signed to create unemployment and
to weaken the position of the union.
Then, when they deemed the time OPP
perfume, they brazenly violated the

File Relief Organizations"

Jacksonville scale and began to oper-
ate their mines open shop.
With every form of terrorism and
fully supported by the state and ma
tiona1 government, the coal operators
have fought violently to destroy the
union. The full forces of the gov
ernment-the federal and state
courts, the national guard, spies,
state police, jails, injunctions-all
were thrown into the fight on the side
of the operators, and against the min
Iers. The courts, at the behest of the
operators, have evicted thousands of
strikers families. Only the unparal-
leled heroism of the strikers has pre-
vented the accomplishment of the ter
-roristic plans. Never has the cour-
age Of workers ON strike been sur
passed.
In Illinois, Indiana, and other union
soft coal districts, the open shop pol
ley of the operators has taken a some
what different course. With the as
sis ance Of Lewis, Fishwick, Mitchell,
and others, the operators, making a
pretense Of accepting the Jackson
vile scale, got the miners back to
work They had two detectives in
mind: first, to weaken the union and
the Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Vir-
ginia strike; and, second, take advan-
tage of the winter market for coal.
Now these operators, blood brothers
to their union-wrecking friends in the
strike-bound districts, are repudiat-
ing the Jacksonville scale, insisting
upon wage reductions, and are boldly
preparing to establish the open shop.
In the anthracite districts the coal
operators are moving no less directly
to destroy the union. They have cor
rupted the official union leaders, the
Cappclinis, Goldehs, Matteys, ETC.,
into their agents. With the assis-
lance of these men they are carrying
through their plan of speeding up the
workers and generally undermining
their wage and working conditions.
They are only awaiting favorable
opportunity, in the event of the break
ing of the bituminous strike, to open
up a direct war to eliminate the
union altogether from the anthracite
regions.
The determination of the big CAPT
lalists of America to smash the min
ers' union, as part of their open shop
plan Of wrecking the whole trade
union movement, was demonstrated
clear as day by the testimony OF
Rockefeller. Schwab, Mellon, Warden,

uation for the union. But when it
came to the settlement they were left
outside to strike and starve for
months until finally they were crush
ed. This treachery tremendously
weakened the position of the union
and ruined its prestige among the
vast masses of unorganized miners.
The Lewis administration still per-
sists in continuing the mistaken pol
icies of 1922 in signing up part of
the mines of a company while Ieav-
ing other mines of the same concern
out on strike, thus helping the oper-
ator make profits at one set Of mines
in order to ship scabs and gunner to
break the strike at the other mines.
Disastrous betrayals have also been
.perpetrated by Lewis and his agents
lin Nova Scotia, Kansas, and other
districts, where the miners ventured
to make real fight. Conditions in
Kansas, once the best anywhere, have
been completely lost and the organ
lzation almost wrecked under Lewis
hand-picked district officialdom,
which so per cent of the membership
oppose.
The Lewis clique have made no eff
forts to organize the unorganized
miners, although this is the central
problem before the union. On the
contrary, their whole tendency has
been to break up such organization
as does exist. The recent Colorado
strike and the strong sentiment for
organization now running among I'M
organized masses of Pennsylvania and
other states show that the morgan
lied miners want to unite. But they
will never do so under Lewis leader
ship. They remember too we'll the
many betrayals perpetrated on them
by this false leader Nor does Lewis
try to organize them. He has prac-
lically abandoned Somerset, West
moreland, Greene, and Fayette coun-
Ties with their 100000 unorganized
miners. What a tragic farce, for
example, to put the task of organiz-
ng West Virginia in the hands Of
hat notorious tool of the coal oper-
7tors, Van Bitther. His mere pres
ence in West Virginia is a guarantee
to the operators that no serious at
tempt will be made to organize the

and other representatives of big capt.
tai before the senate committee in
vestigating the coal strike. They de-
clared brazenly for the open shop in
the coal industry, and when they
speak it is the voice of Wall Street.
The issue is clear. The fight is to
save our union, to defend our living
standards. In this sense We plan our
fight.
The ReactiOnary Lewis Machine.
The basic causes of the deep crisis
in which our union finds itself are
the wrong policies of the Lewis adj
ministration. Lewis attempts to
blame all our difficulties upon over
production in the coal industry. But
he cannot SO lightly escape response
bility. With the correct policies our
union could not only have maintained
itself but also improved its position.
But Lewis policies have been so
wrong as to constitute, in sum, a
crime against the union. They have
played into the hands of the opera
tors at every point.
When Lewis wormed his way into
control of our union during the war
period the organization was firmly
established in practically all coal dis
tricts. Then began an interminabIe
series of betrayals of strikes, sup
pressions of democracy, and general
corruption, which have undermined
the union and rendered it practically
helpless in the face of the employers
attacks. Consequently, the organiza-
ton has been shattered in many dis
tricts. Lewis is fast driving the union
towards the rocks. Only the elinina-
ton of the corrupt and reactionary
Lewis machine and the securing of
control by the Save the Union rank
and file forces can preserve the or
Iganization.
Lewis dealt a deadly blow to the
union when in 1922 he coldly betrayed
the $4,000 unorganized miners of
Somerset and Fayette counties in
Pennsylvania. These miners, by their
wonderful strike, had saved the sit

sets the worst example, having drawn
from June to December, 1927, the sum
of $11,093. for salary and personal ex-
penses. Murray, Kennedy, and other
leaders drew similar enormous sal
aries. For the miners union to re-
main in the hands of such reactionary,
venaI leaders is for it to surely per-
ish.
The Save-the- Union Movement.
Two years ago, seeing the fatal
course of the organization under Lew
is administration, and realizing that
the further life of the union depended
upon complete change of its policies
and leadership, the present opposition
issued the slogan "Save-the- Miners
Union" and prepared its program de

declares that the present corrupt and
reactionary leadership is bankrupt
and unrepresentative of the interests
and will of the membership. They
have stolen their official positions,
and they have no mandate from the
rank and file. Their policies are
wrecking the union and running the
wages and working standards of the
miners. We call upon the rank and
file miners to take the organization
into their own hands. We appeal to
them to stand solidly together and to
remove the decayed Lewis official
dom, which is eating like cancer
at the heart Of the union. We call
upon the unorganized miners to sup
port this movement for clean and
