MANY THOUSANDS
Officials Get Check-Off
In Return

GLACE BAY, Nova Scotia, May /
(By mail) Another case has been
added to the long list Of betrayals
committed by the officials of the Lew
is machine in the so-called New Besco
agreement which John L. Lewis has
just put over on the mine workers
in the U. M. W. A. here.
Speed Up and Unemployment.
The agreement which the local Of
ficials have actively supported pro-
vides for the elimination of one-third
of the miners, and excessive speed-up
provision and a promise by the COM
pany of profit sharing with the min
ers should the company profits ex-
coed those of last year. For their
share in putting over the deal, the
union officials receive the check-off-
besides what they may have received
privately.
The capitalist press, Che church, So
cial and political organizations united
in campaign to put over the profit
sharing-speed-up plan. A "vote" was
taken last week which was entirely
under the control of the Lewis bench
men who announced that 1900 had
voted in favor of the agreement and
1,486 against. Those who are familiar
with the Lewis methods of conducting
an election can easily appreciate what
took place. The agreement is for two
years.
Progressive Sentiment Grows.
Sentiment for ousting the Lewis
henchmen has been developing and
various miners groups have been
holding meetings. advocating joining
the rank and file miners Save-the-
Union movement which has been
sweeping the U. S. mine districts.

y Deaths pendulum swings re-
lentlessly from victim to victim in
the anthracite mines. No day passes
without deaths grim tick-tock
taking a life at some point of the
industry.
Jack Cummings, of Jacksons,
mine patch near here, met instant
death at Maple Hill colliery, a
Philadelphia & Reading operation,
when a stick of dynamite he was
handling exploded prematurely
while he was at his work. His body
was mangled and he was dead when
rescuers reached his side.
A wind that blew after a fall of
rock at the Nesquehoning colliery
near Tamaqua, caused the instant
death of Michael Malaika, SO, and
Charles Chernock, 35, both of Mes
quehoning. Their bodies were
horribly crushed beneath a second
fall of rock, which pinned them
both.
A terrific blast Of wind followed
the fall, lifting two other miners
into the air and dashing them
against the sides Of the gangway.
The other miners, Marencaek and
