miners had not been regularly elected
to their offices.
The miners there upon walked out
at the call of the general grievance
committee. The decision to keep out
McGarry and Lamarca is seen as a
move of the Lewis Cappellini forces
cooperating with the company and
the individual contractors who see in
the growing power of the rank and
file danger to the further existence
both to the contract system which
the companies support and the Lewis
machine.
The miners have been greatly
aroused by this move There is no
clause in the contracts with the coal
companies which permits the opera
tors to dictate to the unions what
men they shall choose as officers.
The renewed strike Of local 1908
bears out the policy advocated by the
Save The Union forces who opposed
the return to the mines as long as the
company violated the contract by per-
hitting the contract system. The
Brennan forces were responsible for
the return to work They will now be
asked by the miners to state their
position on Lewis and as to whether
they intend really to fight against
the contract system.

SHOWS HOW HIS
co. WORKED TO
SMASH UNIONS
Has New Scheme Aimed
At Public

CHICAGO, April 26 (FP).-Amer-
lean initiative and enterprise is at a
low ebb on the managerial end of the
bituminous industry, to judge by the
leading spokesman Of the operators,
Pres. J. D. A. Morrow of Melons
Pittsburgh Coal Co., who addressed
the Illinois Manufacturers Associa-
ton in Chicago April "a. His four
proposals to reorganize mining SIM
mer down to hamstringing both labor
and consumer so that baby could
manage a mine and make lots of
money at it.
1. Smash Unions.
His first remedy is to exterminate
all effective labor organization. The
Lewis leadership Of the United Mine
Workers is denounced as useless to
everybody, "but the officials who
draw their salaries from that source"
2. Speed-up.
Morrow's second proposal is to turn
the coal mine into a factory on eff
cheney speed-up lines and he again
denounces the union for protecting
the human factor in the process. Elk
ploitation is to be without limit.
8. Monopoly of Market.
The third is guarantee OF assured
markets for coal. Mines are to be
merged and at the same time they
will associate consumer interests with
them which will provide an assured
backlog of tonnage for these combina-
lions" Sales problems are to be
wiped out.
4. High Prices.
Naturally the fourth plank in this
coal managers pipe dream is higher
prices. "The coal business must learn
to sell it's product for what it is
worth" he asserted. AS a start he
would add S1O0,OOO,OOO a year to the
coal bills of industry and transporta-
ton.
Then the Mellon lieutenant tried to
explain to sympathetic listeners why
the formerly union Pittsburgh Coal
Co. had broken it's signed contract
with the United Mine Workers over
a year before the Jacksonville agree
ment was to expire. That breach Of
contract was the start of the open
shop drive in western Pennsylvania
Morrow did not call it a breach Of
contract. The company, he said.
merely ceased to operate its mines
under the union and began open-shop
production" He maintained that this
procedure was entirely legal. But he
also said that it was morally right
because the company never regarded
the agreement as a binding obliga-
ton when it signed it. In other words,
the contract could be morally broken
because Andy Mellon had his fingers
crossed when he agreed to it early in
1924.
Attacks Protective Law.
In closing his peculiar exposition of
the status of the mining industry
Morrow discharged a poisoned arrow
at the Illinois mining law which for
bids any but experienced and exam
ined miners to risk the lives of them
selves and their fellow workers under
ground He complained that this law
keeps out cheap labor, prevents the
maximum exploitation and therefore
costs Illinois manufacturers and bust
ness not less than S50,000,000 a year
The assembled manufacturers &C.
corded him great applause.
