ITO all members of districts No. /,
No. and No. 9 of the United Mine
Workers of America:
"Dear Sirs and Brothers:
"This statement is issued to call the
attention of members of the Tri-Dis-
tric5 to certain glazing evils and dan
gerous recent developments which
threaten the very life of our union,
the wages and working conditions Of
its members and to considerable ex-
tent even their lives and liber lies, and
to put forward program which, sup
ported by the rank and file, will end
make for enforcement of the contract,
and strengthen and build the United
Mine Workers.
eve urge all rank and file men,
bers Of District 1, 7 and to support
the Save the Union program and to
organize to defeat the Lewis-Cappe-
lini machine which is leading the U.
M. W. A. to destruction in the btu
minous fields, and which in the an
thracite has set up what can be de-
scribed as a united front with the coal
operators and contractors maintained
by murder of all who fight for hon.
est and militant unionism. We call
for the organization throughout the
tri district of rank and file commit
tees to fight for the freedom of Frank
Bonito who is being framed up by
the coal companies, contractors and
the Cappelini machine.
"The Lewis-Cappelini machine must
go!
"This machine has allowed the OPP
orators to violate the agreement in
the anthracite until little is left of
it.
''The contractor evil is breaking
down wages and working condition
and disrupting the union. Honest
union men are murdered because they
resist the coal operator-contractor
Cappelini rule. The Lewis-Cappelini
machine must be held responsible for
the shootings that have taken place
recently. 1t is matter of common
knowledge that Brothers Lillis and
Grecio were shot down by hired gun
men because they fought against the
contractors evil and to abolish coal
company corruption in our union.

frank and file miners must organ
ize to end this murder regime, to
connect up our fight with the strug-
gle led by the Save the Union COM
mittees in other districts, to support,
spread and win the strike in Penn
sylvania and Ohio, to defeat the at
tack of the coal operators and their
government, to rescue the United
Mine Workers from the control of
Lewis Cappelini machine, to elect
honest and militant officials, to or
ganize the non-union fields and make
the United Mine Workers union
which every coal miner trusts, be-
longs to and fights for. Quick and
concerted action based on a militant
program is needed. A few facts will
prove the serious nature of the crisis
our union faces.

peal the state tax on anthracite. This
is nothing but a scheme to save the
coal companies money by making
miners and other workers who own
homes pay the taxes for the coal OPP
orators.
"9.-The district officials support
the candidates of the two capitalist
Iparties-the parties of the enemies Of
unions-the coal companies. The
whole district machine is tied up with,
corrupted with and subservient to
the leaders OF l.le parties of Wall
Street just as is the Lewis machine
nationally. Our union is in the
greatest danger. If we do not or
ganize the rank and file as powerful
force, fight and defeat the corruption
which is eating at the heart of the
United Mine Workers, clean out the
company influence in our union from
top to bottom and adopt militant
program for the United Mine Work
ers, we will lose what gains we have
made and go back to the conditions
which prevailed before the United
Mine Workers was organized.
Lewis and Cappelini must go! In
every local union the fight against
corruption has to be made and Off
Gals elected who are responsible to
the rank and file and not to the OPP
orators.
eve ask support for the following
program and urge the formation of
local committees throughout the tri-
district to put it into effect:
Program Adopted.
