The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-03-19

1t is highest time that the miners
in the Hooking Valley, and with them,
the total membership of the United
Mine Workers do some plain talking
The Hooking Valley miners have as
their sub-district president Oral
Daugherty. And it is not to the
credit of the miners that they have
this man in office. Daugher1y is an
open modification" man. Three
months ago, he spoke at the Glou-
cester Opera House at which he ad-
yocated going back to work on a
scale lower than the Jacksonville
scale.
A Traitorous Speech.
On February 30, Daugherty at
tended a meeting called by the
Athens County Civic Association,
composed of business men Of this To-
cality. At that meeting, Daugherty,
according to the newspapers made
the following statement:
IF the operators are sincere in
their contention that they cannot
operate at the Jacksonville scale,
can see no reason for their re-
fusal to meet in an effort that
would bring to this district its
proper share of work. +. If a
fair scale can be agreed upon fol-
lowing meeting of the operators
and miners of the state district,
as a member of the international
policy committee am prepared to
fight both inside and outside the or
ganization to obtain its adoption. If
the policy committee rejects what
has been agreed upon as fair
settlement, then / am in favor of
putting it into effect anyway"
Every member of the United Mine
Workers should read this statement
carefully. He should read it again
and again-and then ask two ques-
tons:
/. Why do the miners of the
Hooking Valley tolerate a president
Of the sub-district of this kind? Why
don't they throw him out of office
anu ClCCI a Aidll WIFI oOtlfG uIlQCl
standing and fighting spirit?
2. How does it come that Lewis,
who is supposed" to stand for the
Jacksonville scale and talks about mo
backward step" allows Daugherty to
remain in office?
AS to the last question. Some time
ago James Kunik of Eastern Ohio
was expelled from the organization
for advocating a modified scale. The
local to which he belonged appointed
committee to investigate Kunik' S
charge that Lee Hall, president of
District 6 of the Mine Workers,
agreed with him on the question of
the scale.
The committee called Hall before
it, but he refused to appear.
II don't bother about such things"
he stated.
The committee also cited Phillip
Murray and William Kennedy before
it, as having similar information and
views. They did not appear.
Lewis Protects Deserter.
Lewis is alleged to have ordered
Lee Hall to fire Daugherty, but Hall
interceded in behalf of Daugherty
and he remained. This was before
the February Goth conference.)
Daugherty continues his "fair scale"
talk, which means a competitive
scale, which will enable the opera
tors in the union fields to compete
with the non-union fields. l..

adouted. the non-union operf tors will

office who has some brains, some I'M
derstanding, some real leadership and
fight in him.
Sabotages Relief.
On March 7, Oral Daugherty sub
mitted his resignation as subdistrict
president. The resignation was re-
jected by the other Two board mem
bers. Daugherty complained that he
could not any longer bear the burden
and responsibility of the relief work.
The situation in the Hooking Valley
is bad from the standpoint of need.
The subdistrict has been receiving
only $1,000 for relief every two
weeks, and now it has been cut down
$4,000 Daugherty demands more re-
lief for the miners. A very good wish
but when the locals in the neigh
borhood if Corning wished to form
another center for relief coming
from the Pennsylvania and Ohio
Miners Relief Committee, Hall,
Savage and Daugherty told them to
disband, wilfully lying about the
Pennsylvania and Ohio Relief.
Daugherty said nothing about the
$4,000 paid out by the Mine Work
ers organization from June l to De-
cember l, in salaries and Expenses
He said nothing abot the $180,000 in
salaries alone, with Lewis getting
$1,000 for six months and about
$4,100 in Expenses" Kennedy $4,000
and $2,700 in expenses"
What right had or has he or any
other official of the union to any
salary or Expenses" while miners
and their families are starving
While miners and their wives are pre-
pared to go on the picket line in every
kind of weather, facing everything;
while they are ready to do anything
the union orders them to, without the
slightest hope or expectation of re-
ward?
These hundreds of thousands of
dollars should have been used for re-
lief-and instead went into the poe
kets of men who would, many of
them, look for another job, if the
salaries and Expenses" were cut off.
When the miners face the hardest
and bitterest part of the fight,
Daugherty resigns. It does not mat
ter that the board did not accept his
resignation. The very fact that he
rendered his resignation was an act
of desertion--plain desertion.
This is the president and leader of
subdistrict l., District 6 of the United
Mine Workers of American the
Valley where the union was born!
Where men had to meet secretly and
have fought splendid fights!
Save-the- Union
The progressives, The Save-the-
Union Committee, stand for courage
GUS leadership. For that reason they
are being attacked and murdered by
gunner directly or indirectly under
the control of the Lewis machine. The
government is fighting the mass
picket lines led by men who accept
the Save-the-Union Committee pro-
gram and leadership, but pickets of
Lewis stamp and accepting his leader
ship go free. At most they are ar
rested and then released.
1t is time for plain talking-and it
| is time to act. April l must witness
every section Of the miners organiza-
ton represented at the Pittsburgh
conference. This must be the chal-
lenge to the coal operators and to the
Lewis machine, which is leading the
strike to defeat and the union to de-

THE ROTH STRING QUARTET.


Hungary has always been the land
which produced gypsy strings with
potent magic to charm the ear. 1t is
+, out of Budapest that has come string
quartet which seems destined to add
even brighter embroideries to the
mantel which graced the Kneisels and
| is about to be transferred from the
shoulders of the retiring FlonZaleyS.
The Roth String Quartet won an
ovation of appreciation in the first ap-
pearance in the National Capital last
night, when it presented Mozart, and
later Schumann, in the Elizabeth
: Sprague Coolidge Foundation Audi
torium, in the Library of Congress.
Between the two established masters
of melody and style was wedged the
British modernist, Frank Bridge, with
his Third Quartet" a well constructed
composition.
This Roth String Quartet is an or
ganization of only three years growth,
according to one of it's members, yet
the blending of tone in every kind of
nuance, the almost imperceptible lead
ership of the first violin, the sweeping
poetry of rounded phrases and total
lack of scraping or slightest deviation
from key, come very close to absolute
perfection. Such Mozart playing as
was shown in the Quartet in G." (dedi-
Gated to Josef Haydn is superb, and
rare. indeed.
The members of this quartet are
Feri Roth and Jeno Antal, violins;
Ferenc Molnar (no relation to the IA
nous playwright), viola, and Albert
van Doom, violoncello.
The entire program was a dedication
event and a representative Washington
audience showed approval by pro-
longed applause at its conclusion. Mr.
Bridges work, which was given it's
first American performance at the
PittSfield Festival last month, In the
American debut of the Roth Quartet,
is dedicated to Mrs. Frederick Cool
idge. Robert Schumann's beautiful

to third fine musician, Felix Men
delssohn -Bartholdy.

singing measures, was given particu-

Among the songs this singer sang
showing most artistry were a rarely
heard Lullaby" by Brahms (not the

of course, the Latin, mostly Spanish,

Patti cadenza), Spanish Serenade," by
Bizet: La Paloma" and the glib
"Clavelitos.'' The one operatic air,
"Adieu. Notre Petite Table, from Mas
Senet's "Manon," was very well done.
The audience generally, however
showed heartiest approval for the ar
tistic and sincere manner of the singer
in such old favorites as MY Old Ken

master, Stephen Foster; Comm

corrupt machine. Some of the facts
cited are:
In November 1924 Hillman received
an affidavit from Samuel Sdluler,
former secretary of the former Sec
ton r Of Local 10, containing seri-
Gus charges against the officials in
the childrens' clothing locals, Seku-
Ter therein charges that special tax
es had been levied on the member
ship and were pocl1eted by the Of
ficials. Hillman being among those
named, that workers were fined heav-
lily for infraction of rules and that
these fines also were pocketed; that
collections for sick members were
made and divided among the officials
Three contractors, Ratir, Jeffe and
Farmer, came with charges of extor-
ton in 1923, against Louis Stein, the
official whom Hillman has now dis
CHARGED. Stein and his agents de-
manded money from these employers
declaring to them that they needed
it for election expenditures in order
to beat the "lefts." Hillman did not
investigate the charges of the three
employers. He gave the case to the
Children's Clothing Joint Board which
was headed by partner of the
grafters and the man who is now
the chief witness in the present graft
exposure. This is B. Levy who at
that time was told to investigate his
own partners.
The same B. Levy, in 1927, became
severely ILL.,. His fellow officials i'm
mediately organized a benefit lottery,
and sold $1,700 worth of rattle tick
cts. Out of this sum Levy received
an insignificant amount, having been
betrayed by his own fellow grafters.
