At the grave, James Lamarca, a
rank and filler, arose in the midst OF
the crowd and in quiet but striking
tones spoke OF the courageous strug-

for the miners, againso the evils Oh

Takers Must Col
George Papcun, secretary OF the

necessity of using the sacrifices OF
Campbell, Reilly and others as the
inspiration for a renewed struggle
against the common enemies OF the
miners. "No let up, no discourage

In the southwestern districts and
in Canada the reactionary policies of
Lewis have wrecked the union.
Union Fighting for Life.
For ten years under the Lewis adj
ministration the union has steadily
grown weaker, until now it is fight
ing for its very life.
The weakening of the miners
union precipitates a crisis in the
whole trade union movement. En-
couraged by success in the coal in
dustry the open shop employers are
intensifying their drive against all
sections of the labor movement
Lewis attempts to explain away
the breakdown of our organization on
the ground Of overproduction in the
industry, the use of substitutes TO-
coal, etc But this false claim will
not permit the Lewis machine to hide
the disastrous effects of it's policies
and escape responsibility. With an
aggressive policy for shorter hours,
and for the organization of the unor-
canized, The union could have been
built up and conditions in the mines
improved despite the so-called over
production.
Miners, the Time Has Come for
Action!
The "Save the Union Committee
calls upon all members of the United
Mine Workers and the miners in the
unorganized districts to unite to
smash the conspiracy against the
miners union and living and working
conditions in the mining industry.
Strike Must Be Won.
The miners must unite. The strike
can and must be won. We must mo-
billie our full forces to spread the
strike and to beat back the open shop
attacks of the employers.
The Lewis machine and it's ruinous
policies must go. Miners, take con-
troll Of the local unions! Take the
union into your cwn hands!
Pennsylvania and Ohio Miners:
Hold fast in your brave fight! Mass
nicketing and mass violation of in
functions are absolutely necessary for
winning the strike. The National
Save the Union" Conference will
build up the utmost possible support
to your heroic battle.
Miners of Illinois, Indiana, Kansas

Miners of the Hard-coal District :
The wis-Cappelini- Golden-Kennedy
machine has sacrificed your interests
by the arbitration and speed-up
agreements, by the contractor sys-
tenn, and the terrcristic regime in the
union. It's grip on the union must be
broken. Your interests are one with
the interests of the bituminous min.
ers.
Miners of the Unorganized Dis
tricts: Time and again you have been
betrayed in the worst way by the
Lewis machine. We know that you
want to organize and to establish
union conditions. The Colorado strike
demonstrated that. The National
"Save the Union" Conference will lay
the basis to organize the unorganized
districts.

The National "Save The Union"
Conference will take definite steps:
1. To unite The honest elements
in the mining industry against the
coal operators and the corrupt Lewis
machine
2. To mobilize the full forces of
the miners-organized and morgan
ized-to win the Pennsylvania and
Ohio strike.
8. To organize the great masses
of unorganized miners and to weld
them into one powerful union.
a. To advance the general pro-
gram of the "Save the Union" Com
rnittee: for six-hour day and five
day week, for naturalization of the
miners, for labor party, for state
insurance and relief Of unenploy-
rent and for equal division of work.

to $4,000 per year. From June to
December, 1927, while the striking
miners were starving on dollar or
two week relief money, Lewis drew
11,093.66 for salary and personal ex-
penses. The salaries of Murray and
Kennedy were also raised to $4,000

Lewis refused to enforce the Jack
sonville agreement during the life of
the contract. The operators were al
lowed to do as they pleased system
atically breaking up the union and
robbing the miners of hard-won con-
ditions, by cutting wages, by refusing
to pay for all kinds of dead work,
by cutting the yardage rates, by re-
fusing 10 pay for the setting up of
timber and bailing of water, by plac-
ing two or three miners in one room,
etc.
Lewis for Separate Pacts.
Before the strike began, April 1,
1927, Lewis offered to sign separate
district agreements and thus to wipe
cut the policy of the Central Compe-
titive Field agreement which our
union fought for years to get and
maintain.
For almost six months after the
strike was called the Lewis machine
did nothing to organize strike relief.
The failure of the union officials
to organize mass picketing and mass
violation of the injunctions was be-
trayal of the strike. The Fagans,
Halls, etc, did nothing to win the
strike. They systematically suppress
sed all militancy in the strike. They
preached reliance on the A. F. of L.
officials conferences of reactionaries
on appeals to Coolidge, Fisher and
Pinchot and to empty senate investi-
cations.
Lewis and Fishwick of District 10
betrayed the strike by signing a sep
arata agreement for Illinois, they de-
serted the Pennsylvania and Ohio
miners and took the pressure off the
illinois operators during the winter.
They put over an arbitration and
speed-up agreement for District IL.
Now the operators in Illinois,
strengthened by Lewis policies, are
insisting upon S1.50 wage cut and a
decrease of 24c in the tonnage rates.
They are out to break up the union.
10000 Illinois miners are unemployed
while the operators install labor dis
placing machinery without wage
differential, and Lewis and Fishwick
are cooperating with them in this.
The same separate agreement policy
followed in Indiana.
In the anthracite the arbitration
agreement signed by the Lewis-C Cap
pelini machine in 1925, together with
the joint action Of the operators, the
contractors and the tri-district Off
Gals, is wrecking the union. 10000
anthracite miners are jobless or work
ing one or two days per week.

Bosses Anti Union Drive.

The United Mine Workers is in the
most serious crisis in its history. The
coal operators, assisted by the courts
and police, are attacking it on all
fronts. The Lewis administration
thru its reactionary policies, has made
no real defense, consequently district
after district has been lost. Now the
operators are trying to break the
backbone of the union by destroying
Districts 2, 5 and 6 in the present
strike. They are using all methods
from federal and state injunctions to
evictions of our members and their
families and the most brutal attacks
upon US by the National Guard, the
state constabulary, the coal and iron
police and other organized gangs Of
coal operators thugs. Over 100000
men, women and children in the coal
fields are facing cold, sickness and
starvation.
President Lewis, with his interna-
tional and district machines. has
forced upon the union a policy which
has brought it to the verge of de-
struction, During the whole life of
the Jacksonville agreement the Lewis
machine made no attempt to prepare
the union for the present struggle
and refused to conduct effective or
ganizational work in the nom union

Failnre to Organige Miners.

Lewis is cooperating with the coal
companies to drive 100000 miners out
of the industry. He has already sue
ceeded in forcing 100000 miners out
Of the union. The refusal of the
Lewis machine to organize West Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Tennessee and
sections of Western Pennsylvania has
allowed the operators to cut wages in
these territories and to flood the
market with cheaply mined coal to
break our strike and disrupt the
union.
Against the militant miners who
pointed out the dangers which the
union faced and who urged the union
TO adopt a fighting program, Presi-
dent Lewis carried on an open war.
Hundreds Of loyal members and whole
locals and districts in Nova Scotia,

Miners Make Recommendations.

PITTSBURGH, March A (FP).-
Abolition Of the coal and iron police,
elimination Of the state constabulary
from strike zones, open hearings OF
the senate committee, voiding sof
anti-strike injunctions are some Of
the recommendations to senate in
vestigators made by the Save the
Union Committee of United Mine
Workers members. Shortening the
work week is asked to relieve the
over-manning of the coal industry.
Naturalization of the coal mines
with operation under democratic
management with union representa-
ton is proposed. Promotion OF a
Labor Party is essential the commit
tee states. 1t asks the senate inves-
tigating committee also to transfer
the huge naval appropriation to the
relief of striking miners.

not doing it to round out career

JUDGE L. B. DAY

In the election of Judge l.. B. Day
lie court to the state supreme court
November 9th, Nebraska's highest
tribunal would be augmented and
strengthened by man and a judge
learned not only in the law but in
the practical problems of life which
are involved in hundreds of cases
carried to the appellate court each
year.
Judge Day would carry to the SUI
preme court vast experience gained
in eight years on the district court
bench in Omaha and especially the
experience he has had in domestic re-
lations and juvenile problems in five
years as judge of that court.
In his race, the judge is having the
backing of large group of attor-
neys who have had occasion to OBJ
serve his work as Judge, perhaps
better than the average layman.
Nebraska has been exceedingly
fortunate in the selection of its
judges of the state supreme court,
observed David A. Fitch, recent pres
ident of the Douglas County Bar as
ISOLATION. "The judges of this court,
which sit at Lincoln, by the very ma
ture of the multiplicity of the cases
coming for hearing before it, must
have wide experience and knowledge.
1t is the most important court in the
state, because it has final jurisdic-
ton in all cases which do not involve
federal questions and may be taken
to the United States supreme court.

JUDGE DAY EIGHT YEARS
ON DISTRICT BENCH

Judge L. B. Day, for eight years
on the district judicial bench, the last
five as judge of the domestic rela-
tions and juvenile courts, admitted
by lawyers generally as the most diff
ficult assignment of the nine district
court dockets, is candidate for judge
of the state supreme court at the
coming election.
Judge Day succeeded Willis G
Sears, now congressman from this
district, on the court of domestic re.
lations, and during this time thou
sands of cases of both adults and ju.
veniles, involving intricate problems
of the home, have come before him
Evidence of his success in this
work is attested by the fact that in
the last general election and in the
primary this spring, he led the dis
trict judicial ticket by substantial
margins. He has written a number
of articles for magazines on domestic
relations work, and several of these
have virtually become textbooks for
social and welfare workers through
out the country. His thoughts about
"The Ideal Family Court gained
from his experience on the bench,
have been published nationally.
Judge and Mrs. Day and their two
sons, Frank, 10, and Robert, 7, live
at 2750 Redick avenue. The judge
and Mrs. Day are active in the Mime
Lusa Parent Teachers association
Prettiest Mile club; Nebraska State
Conference for Social Work, of
which the judge is president; and
the House of Hope. Judge Day is a
director of the Council of Social
Agencies of the Omaha Community
Chest and director of the National
Probation association. Several years
ago he was honored with the presi-
dency of the Municipal Golf associ-
alton.
Judge and Mrs. Day have lived in
Omaha IA years. He received his
elementary training in the public
schools of Albion, Neb., and is a
graduate of the Creighton law school.
In 1923, he was commissioner from
the Omaha Presbytery to the general
assembly of that church in Grand
Rapids, Mich.
