Lewis Machine Out for

SCOTS RUN, w. Va. (By MaiN.
More than 200 miners attended a
mass meeting of the National Mir

large number of new members for
the local N. NJ. u. The local union

man and the miners listened with
great interest and attention to the

SCOTS Run is the place where
about a month ago a truckload of
hired gangsters of the Lewis ma
chine prevented meeting of the N.
NJ. U. local and besieged Pat Too
hey, national secretary-treasurer,
and other N. NJ. U. men for many
hours in miners home, helped by
the coal and iron police.
The Lewis machine swore that the
National Miners Union would not
be allowed to hold any meetings in
SCOTS Run or other West Virginia
mining towns. The mass meeting
on Sunday was the answer of the
miners and the National Miners
Union. Another mass meeting will
be held in Liberty, W. Va, this com
ing Sunday.
The United Mine Workers takers
are still maintaining organizers in
the field, who talk to the miners
about organizing the United Mine
Workers of America as it was be-
fore, but they must first break up
the National Miners Union. All
they are interested in is to collect

they can fool, which is very few.

les were so crude that the Evening
Post would find it hard to palm
them off as genuine. He then re-
fused to pay the rest of the $4,000
asked for the documents" and in
stead had the two forgers arrested.
The documents" consisted of
three letters which were an expIana-
ton of some earlier forgeries that
had missed fire The earlier for
geries had tried to show that Sen
ators Borah and Norris had gotten
$1,000 apiece from the Soviet gov
ernment to boost Soviet recognition.
These forgeries were so feeble that
they, were quickly exposed. The
later forgeries, which got the au-
thors into such hot water, claimed
to be statements from the G. P. u.
declaring that the G. P. U. itself
had committed the earlier forgery,
making it purposely crude in order
that Boreh's name might be cleared,
thus "disinfecting' him and making
it possible for the Soviet Union to
bride Borah in the future without
anybody believing it
In the testimony today the de-
Tense repeatedly contradicted itself,
also making the claim that the Eve
ming Post reporter was an agent
provocateur who had planted the
forgeries on Orloff. That the Eve
ming Post man might have had
something more than an innocent
connection with the forgeries would
not be surprising in view of the
well-known methods of the capital
ist press in devising anti-Soviet
propaganda.
The court will take a recess to-
morrow and resume Wednesday.
