Congressman Davy Crockett, the

biography of Van Buren,. "He struts
and swaggers like crow in gut

to tell from his personal appearance

Van Buren, Barely Wins
The platforms we're meaningless
and the only issue was opposition
to Jackson and Crown Prince Van
Buren,. Nominations having been
made in 1885, the campaign was
waged mostly in Congress early in
1886.
Early State contests scared the
Democrats, but they fastened to
retrieve themselves. They came
through with a greatly reduced
majority, proving that Jackson
couldn't transfer his landslides.
Twenty-six States voted.
A switch of 1900 votes to Harri-

union for the purpose of establishing
the rule of the miners in the union
and the ousting of the corrupt Lewis

IF there is any split, it will not

their policy of discrimination, expul-

The conference continued in this

"Save this union," said Tom Parry,
one time from the sub-district office
of Springfield sub-district, in Illinois,
when the resounding cheers that
greeted his slight but sturdy figure
had died away somewhat.

Parry told of the Fishwick expIll-
sion of himself and his militant fell

of his job now in the auto industry

Parry considers the expulsion pol
icy of Fishwick part of the campaign
for a separate agreement and pre-
diets that the workers will fight it to
the end.
"When Harrington was president"
said Parry, Lewis accused him of
taking a bride from the Lester strip
mine at Herrin to let the mine oper-
ate, and Fishwick and a government
official got shares of the bride. The
government official was discharged,
Harrington finally admitted being on
the payroll of the employers, but

On the other hand, Lewis has never

Bosses Fight
Compensation
Laws in South
By ESTHER LOWELL,

Winning workmen's compensation
laws in five southern states is the
most immediate issue in the campaign
of the American ASSN for Labor Leg
islation. These five states-North and
South Carolina, Arkansas, Mississippi
and Florida-are the only ones of the
48 lacking legal compensation for in
jured and sick workers.
Several thousand southern residents
have just been sent letters by Secre-
tary John B. Andrews. With the let
tiers have gone the associations latest
revision of it's pamphlet standards
for workmen's compensation laws.
In North Carolina, usually consid-
cred advanced among southern states,
labor and liberal forces are preparing
for showdown fight in next years
legislature. No session was held this
year. Florida may get her compensa-
ton law next year, if the close vote
of last years legislature is an indica
ton. Arkansas prospects are bright
ened by cooperation of the state la
Dor commissioner. But Mississippi is
least responsive.
Tennessee and Alabama have in
adequate compensation laws, admin
istered by the courts. Many evils of
the old damage suit days hang over

with fewer than 10 workers is COW
cred by the law.
Always the Negro question is
raised by southern opponents of COM
pensation laws. They ask: "Do you
think we could get any niger to work
after paying him So a week when he
got hurt ?"

that he and the other non-union min
ers were more than willing, were an

they did not trust Lewis. He told Of

who toll for that Mellon concern
long; the permanently bowed back
that comes from putting the "Frick
Hump" on the coal cars by piling up
the coal the height of the forearm ac-
cording to company rules.
"Throw out Lewis" said Smith,
"and we will gladly look the world in
the face once more, as union men,"
Besides adopting the report Of the
National Save the Miners Union

captains to wire home of the success
of the conference was passed and an
