Apartment Hotels

brief discussion of problems now before
pthe zoning Commission and those to
be at forthcoming coming hearings.
One of these problems, he said, was the
need for definite Interpretation of the
term apartment hotel" as distin-
guiShed from an apartment or hotel.
He pointed out that news stands, cafes,
barber shops and other services are
permitted under the zoning rules in
hotelS for the convenience of transientS,
but not permitted in apartments,
which have higher residential claSSi-
ndcation. Many "boarder-line" cases
Nhave come before the commission due
to classification of some buildings as
apartment hotels, where some hotel
Services are requested.
y. Another question up for considera-
'tion, he said, is that of the number of
stories to be permitted in buildings uf
certain heights where the slope of the
ground is such as to make possible one
or two more stories at the lower portion
Of the site.

The home owner frequently does not
give proper consideration to the ques-
ton Of reconditioning his home, conse-
quently he often does not get proper
value on his investment In his home,
either through neglect or through
badly planned alterations First Of
all, the home owner should seri-
ously think about whether he should
spend any more money on his house.
If the house is worth putting any
more money into it, then, and only
then, is the time to consider Just
what he wants to do in the way of
reconditioning it. This is very i'm
portant.
There is no point in spending good
money on bad money. Some houses
for example, many built during the past
few years-have been so poorly con-
structed that to put any further sizable
sum into them would be simply like
putting 1t into sieve.
On the other hand, even a modest

Moreover, the machine threatened
with suspension of relief and even
eviction from the union barracks any
locals which should send delegates
to the Pittsburgh conference. During
the very progress of the conference
news came that relief had been
stopped in many camps and eviction
notices served. Since that time
pledge has been circulated through
the strike camps by the Lewis organ
ization. The strikers are asked to
repudiate the Save-the- Union Confer
ence on pain of a veritable excom-
nlunication from their union and any
benefits they may receive from it.
In Avella, Pennsylvania, and other,
camps, attempts on the part of the,

mittee-the relief organization of the

have been met with physical opposi-
ton on the part of the Lewis group.
Yet rank-and-file conferences are
now. being held in the counties of
Greene, Fayette, and Westmoreland,
and locals throughout the mine coun-
try have taken steps to join in the
district union conferences to capture
the leadership of the U. M. w. A.
These district conferences are the
core of the Save-the- Union Commit
tees program. The hope is that a.
large enough backing will be gath
cred to declare all offices in the
nd l.
proceed to the election of new Off
cial. The present leadership has
countered with wholesale suspensions
of rebellious miners-and the sus-
pensions have been largely disregard
ed.
But it is plain that the miners
trouble is not all political. They ara
fighting an economic condition as
well as graft and the enmity of their
employers. During the war new coal
fields were developed to meet a de-
mand that ended with peace. More
over, coal substitutes have stopped
the growth of consumption at the
greatest pre-war figure. Operators
declare that there are 100000 extra
men in the industry and advise them
to get out. The men answer that
there is no place for them to go. No
industry is capable of supporting
100000 additional families. And the
men also believe that large part Of
the present unemployment in the coal
fields arises from increased machine
efficiency rather than slackened de-
mand. They call for a share in this
benefit, redistribution of the work
over a six-hour day and five-day
week.

By MELVIN P. LEVY

On the first day of April, in a
battered Pittsburgh hall situated next
door to an ancient synagogue and
approached through squalid blocks Of
typical American colored section,
more than LOO men gathered; they
were the delegates to the Save-the-
Union Conference of the United Mine
Workers of America, and they had
come together to consider those in
ternal problems, political and econ
omic, which account for the gradual
disintegration of their union since
1921, the ineffectiveness of the strike
which they are at present carrying
on in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West
Virginia, and the breakdown of wage
scales and decent working conditions
which is rapidly making the skilled
and dangerous occupation of coal
mining also one Of the poorest paid
and most miserable.
When the conference was called it
was as the radical wing of a still
great, though failing, trade union.
By the time the business of the meet
ing had unwound and the rank-and-
file backing of the convention become
clear, it was plain that these delegates
were the spokesman of a majority
of the coal miners, organized and
unorganized, in North America a
majority forced into progressiyisnl by
necessity rather than theory; reeog-
nizing, as a colored delegate later
said, that "there are only two classes
in America, the workers and the
bosses, no niggers, no wops, and no
kikes," and recognizing too that adj
vantages gained by one group of
workers at the expense of another
are Of necessity transitory and un-
certain.
"You have been willing to push us
down. the same colored miner said,
land you have done it, too. But you
have held yourselves down at the
same time. 1t is like two little boys
fighting and one pushes the other
into the mud. But he can't do it with
out lying in mud. His arms are
against the other boy and the other
boys arms are around his neck too"
This speech, wildly greeted, was tc
become the sense of the conference.
Every attempt was made to wipe out
the disaffection between white and
colored workers, organized and unor-
ganized, young and old. This was
done both in the procedure of the
conference itself and in its plans for
future activities-activities which
will include. if the program of the
conference is carried out, the capture

Ia general strike call issued to the
Pennsylvania coke-fields by the con-
ference, to the number of more than
ten thousand.
From the time of the 1922 strike
the story CT the United Mine Work
ers has been one of steady disintegra-
tion. The Colorado strike of 1926
was fought under the auspices of the
/. w. w, the Lewis machine having
refused to make any militant effort
in that state. At that time President
Lewis, enraged at the "outlaw" strike
actually shipped union miners into
the strike area to act as strikebreak-
ers under protection of the operators
and the coal-and-iron police.
At the present time, under the dis
Enlargement policy inaugurated
by Lewis, single companies have
mines in which strikes have been set
tied and other mines which are still
on strike; so that union miners are
in effect working to furnish their
employers with the means to wage
the bitterest warfare against their
own union.
1t was to GUST the present leader
ship, as prelude to more extended
union activity, that the Save-the-
Union Committee, under the leader
ship of such as John Brophy, "Tony''
Minerich, John w. Watt, Pat Toohey,
and Powers Hapgood, was formed and
the Pittsburgh convention called. The
question of wage cuts, unemployment,
discrimination against Negroes and
young workers, and the organization
of the unorganized were considered
Resolutions in favor of nationalist
ton of the mines and the formation
of labor party were adopted. A per-
manent national committee was
formed to evolve tactics. But above
all spontaneous note ran through
The conference: "Lewis Must Co."
This last will not be easy-and the
insurgents know it. A union can be-
come a valuable piece of property,
too good to be let loose without a
struggle. In the last six months
John L. Lewis himself has drawn
$11 ,093 salary and expenses. This
while more than 100000 strikers were
living in novels or flimsy barracks
and receiving from their union strike
relief the sum of one dollar weekly
for adults and twenty-five cents for
children-when they got it. 1t was
asserted at the Pittsburgh conference
that the Lewis official family had
drawn more in salaries during the
past year than the total amount
spent by the A. F. of L. for mine
relief.
