Communism reared us nedQ To-
day at the Tomlinson hall conven-
ton OF the United Mine Workers
of America with announcement OF
a resolution providing for creation
Of zone great industrial union" to
take over all the tools of industry"
The resolution was included in
several hundred reported to the
convention today, without recon-
mendations, by the resolutions COM
mittee.
It is expected to bring heated
debate from the floor when called
up for consideration. introduced
by Canton, Ill, delegates, it was
expected 20 muster support from
West Virginia and Pennsylvania
representatives.
Await Lewis Move
Consideration Of the proposal may
be delayed until resolutions attack
ing John L. Lewis, international
president, and those dealing with
Illinois mine union insurgency have
been disposed of. The convention
late Friday voted to expel Illinois
insurgents, but scores of resolutions
dealing with the Illinois situation
remain to be disposed Of.
The citizens resolution reads, in
part:
Resolved the delegates assem-
bled in this convention take steps
to organize all the miners, into one
great industrial union of miners, to
be directed only by the rank and
file; not, as heretofore, by high-pald
officials.
With such an industrial organiza-
ton we can dictate to the operators
under what terms We will work
henceforth until the time the rest
of workers in other industries are
likewise organized and ready when
we. the workers industrially organ
lied, the only producers of the ma
tons wealth, will take possession OF
all necessary tools of production.
Thence can the workers enjoy, once
and for all, the full products OF
their toll; therefore be it:
Further resolved; In order to
cope with the deplorable conditions
of the working class, where millions
are unemployed and starvation
reigns in the midst of plenty, with
insane contradiction, we emphasize
the need that the following steps be
pursued by this convention:
Mines to Miners
To indorse the principle Of the
necessity that all miners, and
workers in other industries, must
organize into one great industrial
union. The slogan must be the
mines to the miners and all the
tools of production to all the
people"
ITO elect from this convention
seven men to conduct the calling
and arrange for said all-industrial
convention"
Resolutions concerning the Hi
nois situation demand that John

president, appear before the con-
vention for trial, while others pro-
vide for direct expulsion of these
