EWIS
Is Again Chosen President
of Miners Union

indianapolis, Ind. e. l.. N. 81
John L. Lewis was reelected presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America at the recent biennial cleo
ton, results of which have just been
announced. Some 1000 local unions
voted in the election throughout the
United States and Canada The fact
that President Lewis was again re-
elected is taken as an expression of
confidence of the rank and file in his
administration This is the first time
in 20 years that president of the
union has been elected without oppo.
sition.
Vice President Philip Murray, OF

Wave Length, Power and
Time on Air, Demands of
Labor's Hosts For VIGIL

Washington, d. G. I. l.. n. 81
The voice of the labor movement is
rallying to the support of Radio Sta
ton WCFL, labor's big station at
Chicago. A hearing on WCFL's ap-
plication for full time broadcasting
on a suitable wave length with ample
power is to be held by the federal
radio commission here on January Is.
Word here is that large number of
international unions will be represent
ed at the hearing. In addition to that,
dozens of resolutions are being for
warded, expressive of the opinion of
the great movement of organized
wage earners.
Under the present federal radio
commission order, VIGIL must be
off the air at about 6 p. m.-sunset
Pacific coast time. That means the
silencing of "The Voice of Labor
every evening, the time of day when
most wage earners are free to listen
This defeats, in large part, the mis-
sion of VIGIL.

international unions for the Chicago

impending battle as the Battle of the

Union Labor's Great Radio
Battle Set For January IS
NO JOBS ON FAIR
In Chicago, Idle Workers
Warned

Chicago q. L. n. S.)-A steady in
fluX of unemployed from all sections
of the country, looking for work in
connection with the 1888 Worlds
Fair, is adding daily to the number
of idle men and women in Chicago,
according to a statement issued by
the Illinois department of labor, of
which George B. Arnold is the direc-
tor. ),
The widespread publicity of Chi
cago's plans for huge exposition at
its centennial has created the i'm
preston that work is about to start
and that there is a demand for skill
ed and unskilled labor" says the
statement
Information should be broadcast
that the exposition is still in its early
stages, and that it will be many
months, perhaps two years, before
extensive building commences. Even
after that there will be plenty of
labor here Of all sorts to take care
of every need of the fair right up
until it begins unless the general
situation regarding employment
changes in a drastic manner
1T is not amiss to say that right
now there are between 100000 and
100000 persons in Chicago looking
for jobs, and these must be taken
care of first Others should stay
away"

ton, and would suffer were it not
for aid given by the International
Union and the general public of In
diana. The direct charge is made by
the union that the railroad and the
coal company are attempting to
starve the miners and their families
into submission.
A few days ago band of "save
the unionists" and other disloyalists
agreed to $5 wage scale with Logs
don, who said his mines would re-
open on that basis. However, at
mass meeting held by local union
lists the agreement" was bitterly
denounced and the meeting voted
unanimously to stand by the union
and the bona fide scale.

There are but 80 wave lengths
available. Of these WCFL, for labor,
asks for but one. However, corpora
tion stations desire them all and at
present labor has not even the one it
desires and needs.
VIGIL has been granted a federal
permit to build 50,00O-watt station.
but this will be worth but little with
out the right to full time broadcast
ing. With the new station and proper
wave length and time on the air,
President Green may sit in his office
in Washington and broadcast to the
entire country. Such facilities will
not be available unless the federal
radio commission grants the demands
to be made by and for VIGIL in the
hearings on January Is.

RAILROAD Is Held Responsible
For Attempt to Starve Union
Coal Miners Into Submission

Indianapolis, Ind. CT. L. N. ST.
What is believed by officers of the
United Mine Worekrs to be a con-
certed attempt to disrupt the union
IN Indiana has turned up in the Bick-
nell, Ind, coal fields, where the Knox
Consolidated Coal Company has full
sway. If the attempt had been sue
cessful it would have been the open
ing wedge toward non-unionizino In
diana and other mid-western coal
fields.
According to the best obtainable
information the Pennsylvania Railway
Company is responsible for the con-
dltlons existing in the Bicknell field
where the Knox Consolidated Com
pany made an offer of So a day to
miners to return to work. notwith-
standing this company was party 10
an agreement signed few weeks
ago to open the mines on S610
wage, the same as prevails in Illinois.
The Pennsylvania Railway Com
pany heretofore had been a heavy
buyer of coal in the Bicknell field.
Some time ago it informed the cola
company that it would not buy Knox
coal except at price which would
mean further reduction in the
wages of the miners. Ed Logsdon.
president and receiver of the com
pany, refused to reopen his mines at
the 500 scale, with the result that
almost 1000 miners in this field have
been on the actual verge of starva-

SOAP-BOXER
Defends Labor Injunction
Before Employers

st. Louis, MOT. Yeoman VIII
liams, of the League Of Industrial
Rights, New York city, urged local
business men to oppose the Shipstead
anti-injunction bill, in an address to
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association.
The league was formerly known as
the Anti Boycott Association and
changed its name when the League of
Nations dignifed the boycott by its
proposal that nations be boycotted if
they violate their agreement with
the league.
Mr.. Williams paid an unconscious
compliment to organized labor's edu
cational campaign when he said there
is an appalling tendency on the part
of the judiciary to believe popular
feeling against the labor injunction.
The speaker correctly declared that
the Shipstead bill would strip equity
courts of their power to issue labor
injunctions and would restrict the
court in its power to protect plant
property.
As is usual in these meetings, no
one pointed out that statutory law
and the police power of the state
would not be interfered with by the
Shipstead proposal.
The address was the usual soap
bax harangue that is delivered by
men who are ignorant of law and
equity and who can not DISTINGUISH
between government by law and
government by conscience.

Washington. - Stabilized employ
ment can be more promoted by a
state of mind rejecting conscious
desire to stabilize employment than
anything else" Daniel Willard, presi-
dent of the Baltimore& Ohio rail
road, told the senate committee on
labor and education that is investi-
eating unemployment.
Prior to the war it was considered
proper to employ 5000 men in the
summer and lay them off a few
months later" said Mr.. Willard
"None of US were impressed with the
fact that we were doing any particu
lar injustice"
A realization that out of the eco
nomic system of the United States {
unit of social responsibility had beer
created, said Mr.. Willard, caused hin
to develop "a will toward stabilized
employment"
The witness emphasized the impor
tance of "a state of mind" in stabil
izing employment. The Baltimore &
Ohio has reduced its labor turnover
from 20 per cent in 1923 to 10 pc
cent at the present time. Keeping ;
more steady force "has been goo'
thing for u.s." he said.
After the war there was larg
number of unemployed, according t.
the railroad official. The railroads re

number retained fluctuated constantly
