In the fourth quarter the Old Liners

right to flip the ball around a bit,

Late In the fourth quarter washington

game. Deep In its own territory and
faced with defeat, it began to hurl
passes far down the field. It failed to

from Washington and Lees 30-yard

got, as the ball went over on downs
after four plays. Kessler kicked back
into Washington and Lees territory,
and the contest was over soon after
that.
Clean, Hard Game.
Both teams played clean, hard foot
bali. and the game was remarkable for
its absence of penalties. One 15-yard
penalty meted out to Washington and
Lee for tackling after a signal for fair
catch was the only penalty, except for
two 5-yard penalties incurred because
of a second failure of forward passes in
the same try for first down
Snyder of Maryland was the out
standing ground gamer Of the day.
His savage lunges into the Washington
and Lee line and his ability to slip out
side tackle for short twisting runs were
notable. In all probability other Mary
land backs could have gained a good
deal more ground had they used Snyder

Hawkins was the star of the Gen.

ing star of the Lexington team, the big
6-tooter striking a stone wall about
five out of every six times he tried to
drive the ball through. His gains dur
ing the afternoon we're almost negligi-
bic, although he did twist through for
4 or 5 yards several times.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-05-26

Greetings to the convention were re-
ceived from John Brophy, whose i'll
ness has recently kept him from active
participation in the miners fight. His
message was received with an ovation.
Greetings were also received from
Tony Mjnerich, Mother Bloor, Thomas
Meyerscough, from the Indiana State
Convention, Powers Hapgood and
many others.
The reactionaries of district IL, led
by Walter Nesbit, the former secre-
tary-treasurer, formed picket line
several blocks away from the conven-
ton and tried to divert the miners
from attending.
The first night of the convention
was marked by fist fight that oc-
Cured at restaurant when George
Voyzey, Freeman Thompson and John
Watt were attacked by Is sluggers
led by Nesbit. The three militant
fighters succeeded in routing the
thugs. In the skirmish Nesbit suf-
fered a black eye and several other
marks. Thompson was badly slugged.
The next day following the fight the
three militants who had been arrested
and released from prison were greeted
by the delegation.

been scared stiff by the lawyers,
Frank McGarry, James Kearney, and
the rest Of the Brennan men. All
of them, supposed to be close friends
of Bonita, have betrayed his conf
dence in them. They kept coming
to see him almost daily, and they
were permitted to stay with him as
long as they desired, while the mem
bers of the committee who were
sincerely active in his behalf, were
very rarely admitted and only few
minutes each time, which made it
almost impossible to talk to Bonita.
I was the only representative of the
committee who stayed a half hour
with him.
McGarry, Kearney and the lawyers
kept telling Sam if he dared to ap-
peal to higher courts he would be
retired and convicted of first degree
murder and the consequence would
be that he would receive a much
worse sentence. These lawyers and
his so-called friends knew that they
were lying to Sam. tried to con-
vince Sam that such advice was plain
treachery and that there must be a
reason for this anxiety to keep him
in prison until everybody would for

By GERRY ALLARD.

The district convention, called by
the rank and file miners of Illinois,
has accomplished the necessary steps
to save and rebuild their union. Two
hundred and forty-nine delegates from
78 local unions gathered at Belleville
to take up the problems that were
confronting them and to GUST the re-
dictionaries from leadership. The
spirit of the convention was very high
as reflected by the rank and file who
time after time pointed out the neces-
sity of taking these steps to save the
union.
At this convention no millionaire
labor leader appeared. No pot
bellied, diamond labor faker
infested the atmosphere of the con-
vention. The Lewises, Fishwicks,
Greens, Farringtons, were not present
at this convention. Toughened, grim,
determined coal diggers gathered
there to report their grievances, to
GUST the reactionary machine, to re-
build their union into an organization
which will help rally the miners Of
America to immediate action against
the onslaught of the coal operators.
Elect Voyzey President.
George Voyzey, local union Alb of
Springfield, was elected president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
District IL. Luke Coffee, the chair
man of the convention was elected
vice president. Coffee is the fighting
president of local union 705, O'Fallon
and resides in Belleville.
Danial H. Singer, of Belleville was
elected secretary treasurer. The new
officer were elected unanimously and
were greeted by thunderous applause.

How Far Does the Frarne-Up of Bonita Coz

tense committee which carried on
splendid work in their. behalf as we'll
as in behalf CT Bonita was neither
advised or consulted about the mat
ter of their release, bail being posted
thru an arrangement between the
lawyers, politicians and the so-called
friends of the defendants. Knowing
that they were popular men, the fore
es at work for state senator-elect
tanning Harvey utilized this release
as political campaign material for
the capitalist candidates.
Together with the 1. L. D., the de-
tense committee realized that a VIC
tory for Bonita means a victory for
the progressive rank and file and
defeat for the contractor system as
well as defeat for all the enemies
of the labor movement. With the
conviction that the fight to save
Bertha is a fight for the whole work
ing class, the committee labored I'M
ceasingly, exhausting every means
trying to appeal the case. But every
dNcHuG was DdIIICduSu dS dlf1SI Tic
committee whose labors were in VAN.
Lawyers Betray.
After having paid $1,000 to the de-
tense lawyers, Frank Flannery, Har-
old Flannery, and John Dando, the
committee held several fruitless con-
ferences with them. Each time they
refused to appeal the case, giving
as their excuse that they did not
want to be scoffed at by the court
since there were no legal grounds
for an appeal. At each conference
we were told by the lawyers tc keep
quiet, not to rouse mass sentiment
and in a year or more from now they
would go to the pardon board and
ask for a pardon if we would pay
them the remainder of $4,000. Need
less to say, a pardon will not be CIV
en- so simply to Bonita H. a state so
hostile to labor.
After going thru much red tape I
finally gained admission to the Luz
erne county Jail, where l talked with
Sam for about half hour. Sam had

animously with the rank and file dis
cussing them at length.
Watt Speaks.
John Watt, Vice-President of Ma
tional Committee, was received with a
Ithunderous applause. He eloquently
pointed out the situation of the coal
mining industry, the role of the Lewis
machine and the task of the rank and
file members in their epoch a |
struggle.
The young miners showed spirit
of determination to fight side by side
with the adult miners. A resolution
introduced by Gerry Allard calling
for the immediate mobilization Of the
young miners through a conference
to be held June 9th in Belleville was
adopted. The young miners held a
conference of their own, elected Gerry
Allard as their district secretary and
Immediately laid the basis for organi-
cation work.
A committee of 20 young miners
was elected to take charge of the pro-
visional youth conference.
Scores Unable to Come.
The convention deliberated quite
actively upon the many problems.
Scores of miners were not permitted
to come due to the financial condition
of the miners themselves. Most of
the delegates hiked or came in Fords
that they could borrow. The spirit of
the convention was fine in every re-
spect.
Dan Singer, newly elected secre-
tary-treasurer Of the district, closed
the convention by saying: "There can
be no hesitation on our part, there
can be no doubts, nothing but deter
mination to return to our respective
localities and build an organization
that will lead and fight for the miners
of this country"

for Sam not to appeal but to wait
more than year and then ask for
a pardon? Why were Moleski and
MENDOZA released upon bail on the eve
of the election with the strict injunc-
tion by Judge MCLEAN to stay out
of union activities?
Guilt of Brennan Gang.
Why did the lawyers appear at the
Jail every time Committeeman
tried to get in to see Sam? Why
was the warden so anxious to know
what Harold Flannery and l were
talking about after I had talked with
Bonita? Why did McGarry, Kearney
and the rest of the Brennanites work
together with the lawyers and against
the committee? Why does Brennan
want to investigate the murder of
Campbell, Lillis and Reilly and also
the killing of Agati? Does not
Brennan know that Agati was the
enemy of Campbell, Lillis and Reilly,
and that even capitalist jury stood
II to for acqu1ttal of Bonita! What
does Brennan want to investigate
about Cappelini's gunman Agati?
These Brennan people know that
Bonita is popular figure and is
with the Save-the- Union forces and
if Bonita were out of Jail, McGarry
would lose mis- JOB as president of To-
cal 1903, and that Bonita would be
the logical man to replace Cappelini,
thus preventing Brennan from get
ting the office of the district pres
idency. In short, the whole Bren-
nan machine as well as the Cappel-
ini-Lewis machine would be most
likely defeated if Bonita were out to-
day. Brennan, McGarry, Kearney,
the lawyers-all Of them are well
aware of this. That is why they are
all so keenly interested in lying to
and keeping Sam in Jail. The be-
trayal of Sam Bonita must be placed
where it belongs-at the door of the
Brennan gang in league with the
lawyers, contractors and the Lewis
gang.

past, devldlng the illinois miners
against themselves, and completely
selling out to the operators by work
ing hand in hand with them to smash
the union" The policy of separate
agreements after the rank and file
had issued a mandate opposing
separate agreements, was bitterly
condemned. "The policy of separate
agreements is policy of destruction"
was the statement of the indictment.
Brand Sell-Out.
The contract extended to the opera
tors by the officialdom giving the
bosses unlimited rights on the
mechanical leaders, conveyors, and
other machinery tending to increase
unemployment amongst the miners,
the weakness of the officialdom to
fight the case of the miners, stealing
of votes, packing of conventions, ex-
pelling militant miners, the railroad
ing of the miners from Zeigler to
prison, and several other indictments
were branded in the charges against
the reactionary labor takers. The con-
vention then proceeded to elect it's own
officers.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted abolishing the appointive
power of officials, abolishing the dis
'trict executive board, and commit
tee to direct the work of the miners
in district IL was set up.
The Coal Digger was accepted as
the official organ; resolutions for a
special International convention, the
