WASHINGTON, d. c., March g.
That the United Mine Workers Of
America would keep it's wage con-
tracts with the operators despite the
contract breaking policy of the coal
barons, following the lead given by
the late John Mitchell, former presi-
dent of the miners union who stated
at an international convention, that
81 care not if the Heavens fall, the
United Mine Workers of America
must live up to its agreements" was
the proud boast of John L. Lewis,
made before the full committee of the
this mornings session of the coal
strike inquiry in the senate office
building.
Lewis did not state that Mitchell
was heavy stakeholder in coal COM
panies and had personal interest in
their prosperity. Neither did the wit
ness inform the committee that his
predecessor, Mitchell, left an estate
of approximately $25O,000, the great
err part of which was in coal COM
pany stocks.
Lewis denounced the Pittsburgh
Coal Company for abrogating the
Jacksonville agreement declaring that
this COMMUNICATING policy justified
every attack made on the coal opera
tors "by every soap boxer and COM
munist thruout the length and breadth
of the land"
Admits Anthracite Miners Want
Strike.
The president Of the international
union also stated that the anthracite
miners were anxious to strike in sym
pathy with their bitun1inous brother
but they were warned by their Off
Gals that they must keep their agree
ments.
Lewis and counsel for the miners
union are trying to win the favor of
the big capitalists on the Interstate
Commerce Commission by attempting
to show that the operators can make
more profits by operating with union
than with non-union labor.
Lewis finished his testimony this
Chairman W. G. Warden,
of the board of directors of the Pitts
burgh Coal Company, was called for
the witness stand but was absent in
Philadelphia and G. E. Lesher, ex-
ecutive vice president took his place.
Lesher is of the new school of eff
cheney experts but he looks more like
a counting house clerk out of Dick
ems novel than one of those hard
boiled correspondence executives who
make good in the success magazines.
Lesher seemed thoroughly frightened
and evaded important questions.

demonstration, meetings will be ar
ranged in large number of indus
trial cities thruout the United States.
Several significant Ruthenberg mem
orial meetings have already been held
where prominent leaders of the Work
ers (Communist)7 Party cited the rec
ord of service to the American work
ers.
Great Example, Says Trachtenberg.
"Ruthenberg, the propaganda, the
teacher, and Ruthenberg, the local
leader, the spokesman Of the masses
among whom he lived, are glorious
examples for. the youth of today to
initiate" Alexander Trachtenberg,
member of the Central Executive
Committee of the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party of America, declared yes
terday
-" Always when Ruthenberg spoke or
wrote he not only had the immediate
things in view, but also the ultimate"
Trachtenberg said. "This side of
Ruthenberg, together with the fact
that he was a great local leader were
his outstanding traits, believe, and
! speak from long years Of associa-
ton with him.
At the time Ruthenberg joined the
working class movement, America
had produced very little in the line
of revolutionary literature. Knowing
German, Ruthenberg studied German
revolutionary writer's and became
more cosmopolitan than other social
lists, who were interested only in
American affairs. When questions
like the world war arose, Ruthenberg
accordingly had an international point
of view.
Compared With Debs.
eugene V. Debs on the other hand,
was just an agitator, although in his
earlier years he was a great organ
izer. Debs never was allowed to de-
velop theoretically as much as Ruth
enberg. He was in sympathy with
the lefts, but the rights took advan-
tage of his sentimental appeal and
forced him to become merely an agi-
tator"
Trachtenberg explained that be-
cause the Workers (Communist) Par
ty is mainly young party, many
members do not know Ruthenberg's
background. For this reason col
lection of Ruthenberg's writings and
speeches has been included in the
series of "Voices of Revolt" that In
ternational Publishers is bringing
out. The book will be ready for the
memorial meeting.
