! | Evils CALLS OFF
HIS CONVENTION
No Opposition, Union
Wreckers Declare
Especial to the Daily Yorker


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. g.
Virtually admitting its utter bank
ruptcy, the Lewis machine has
called off its next scheduled conven-
ton and is preparing again to i'm
pose itself, without even the for
mality of an election, upon the rem
nant of the organization which it
still controls.
The old officers are unopposed
for election, the Lewis machine has
announced, and accordingly there
need be no ballot. The coming con-
yention will be too costly, therefore
a referendum" will be sent out to
the membership" on a proposal to
dispense with the convention alto
gether. The miners are fully ac-
quainted with the methods of the
fake Lewis ballots.
Having lost all its support among
the membership, due to it's treacher-
GUS activities, the Lewis machine, it
is pointed out, fears to expose itself
further at a convention which is
bound to display it's utter bankrupt
cy. Together with the operators, it
is now seeking to perpetuate its
company unionized organization in
the mine fields by it's usual meth
DDS.
The new National Miners Union,
organized on the basis of fighting
the coal barons, is steadfastly gain
ing strength and influence among
the coal diggers.

BERLIN, Nov. 6.-The effects Of

The social-democratic home min

the workers to keep off the streets,
