|U.M.W.A. TO FIGHT
FOR 30 HR. WEEK,
INDORSES LEWIS

INDIANAP0LIS-(FP) - Voting
confidence in the leadership of Pres.
John L. Lewis and other international
officers, the United Mine Workers of
America convention delegates adopted
a strong resolution which demanded
that the introduction of machinery in
mining should not mean unemploy-
ment but rather, through the shorter
work-week, should be utilized for the
benefit Of the working miners and
not the operators.
The convention was convened in a
spirit far different than that during
the last meeting when the union could
only report a steadily declining mem
bership and chaos in the coalfields.
But in indianapolis the report Of the
international officers spoke again of
an increased prestige and gains in all
parts of the country. The report did
not mention, however, the revolt Of
U. NJ. w. A. locals in the anthracite
region to form the United Anthra-
cite Miners of Pennsylvania, the for
nation of the Progressive Miners Of
America by dissident locals in Him
OILS, nor the rump strike led by Martin
Ryan of the Pennsylvania bituminous
miners for union recognition by the
steel companies.
The Endorsement of the policies fol-
lowed by Lewis came with only rs
dissenting votes. However, the oppo-
sition to Lewis charged that the con-
vention was packed and that delegates
were there representing only paper
locals"
The report of the officers recon-
mended a renewal of the fight for the
30-hour week, unemployment insur-
ance and the removal of the unions
headquarters to Washington, D. c. In
dianapolis has been the home of the
u. M. w. A. for more than 40 years.
Rather than object to mechanical
ton of industry" the resolution adopt
ed read, 1--WE should devote our eff
forts toward the shorter workday and
work-week, toward a greater p%artici-
patton in the blessings of science, of
progress, with the fundamental OBJ
jectives of making mankind the mast
ers of their destiny and subjecting ma
chimes, science and modern develop
ments Of industry to humankind"
The resolution was introduced after
the Indiana delegation had attempted
to place the convention on record as
demanding the removal of machinery
free from mines. 1t was adopted al
most unanimously although many
delegates had in the beginning pro-
tested.
Lewis won an ovation when, in dis
cussing the right to strike, he de-
clared that there was nothing in the
|NRA which denied the right to strike
when a contract expired. He declared,
however, that it was not the U. M. w.
A. policy to strike during the life of
the program.
1t was expected that the many reso-
lutions introduced calling foE radical
reduction of the salaries of union Of
ficials and curtailment of their pow
ers would die in committee. Other
resolutions demanded the right to
strike and characterization of the
union.

HIGHLIGHTS IN
CONGRESS
(By Hon. Joseph P. Monaghan.)

Leaders Of the Congress agree that
January has been the most hectic
month since arrival at Washington
last March. 1t was a really dramatic
spectacle that opening session Of
Congress. The President gave a great
speech and summarized the accom-
plishments of the past months in fine
order.
No recommendations were made
but the President made it clear he
desired cooperation but erstwhile
correction of any errors committed.
Fine ending: "In this spirit we join
once more in serving the American
people,"
Silver.
More committee meetings have
taken place since opening of the reg
ular session than during the special
session. Our group, the Rocky Noun
tain, representing 10 Western States,
of which group | was elected secre-
tary held four committee meetings to
date. This group was voluntarily
organized to promote Western inter-
est.) We first considered a resolu-
ton adopted by twenty-five Senators
favoring bi-metalism at a ratio to be
fixed by law. Congressman Feisinger
of Ohio pleaded with the representa-
tives to compromise. Many had
spoken a similar view. "The people
of our country know the plan offer
ed by Senator Wheeler of Montana.
They want that plan adopted" l ar
gued. "Let us not appear divided on
this issue. The Senators that yester-
day adopted this resolution did so l
am sure anticipating reintroduction of
the Wheeler reconciliation of silver
bill or 16 to l basis. Let us not pre-
sent a divided, but a united front.
Let us not begin the battle on a field
of compromise or defeat. Let us move
forward toward the ultimate and de-
sired goal which will really, in a meas
ure accomplish prosperity-the re-
monetization of silver on a 16 to 1
basis.
The resolution of the Senate was
unanimously adopted by the House
Committee. A big victory for silver
and following closely in the wake of
this, the President called the Bank
ing and Currency Committees of both
Houses and asked for the power to
order into the U. S. Treasury all gold
to be revalued at a 40 per cent reduc-
ton. This meant a profit to the
United States of three billion dollars
which the international bankers did
not like and, therefore, opposed since
this profit would have been theirs.
This bill was approved by both
houses-a great forward step for sill
yer and it is worthy of note and to
the credit of our distinguished SEN
ior senator, Hon. B. X. Wheeler that
his amendment on this bill providing
for reconciliation at 16 to 1 was de-
feated by the narrow margin of only
two votes in the Senate. If it event.
ually passes the Senate the House,
it is believed, will edopt it.

PLANS A THIRD.
LABOR OLYMPAID

CLEVELAND-(FP)- The Third
World Olympiad of labor sports
groups will be held in Prague, Czecho-
slovakia, in July.
Over 10000 athletes from labor
gymnastic organizations of 20 or
more countries will meet in Prague,
July a to 8 for the olympiad, which
will be held in the municipal stad-
Jun. The number of visitors for
which the Bohemian Workers Athlet-
ic Groups, hosts of the gathering, are
making arrangements, is 100000.

CHICAGO-(FP)--When the United
Mine Workers of America meet in
their national convention in lndianap-
oils, several Illinois locals will intro
duce resolutions calling for a 1-day
strike May l for the release of Tom
Mooney and Warren Billings. Local
$500 of the U. M. w. A. will sponsor
the resolution.

for G.. w. A. activities. 1t appears
that more money must be a%ppropriat-
ed for this purpose before the G. w.
A. can be restored to normalcy. I'M
mediate action by Congress looking to
this happy end is anticipated.
Federal Pay Cut.
The one around which most inter-
est centered was the Independent
House Offices Appropriations cas-
ure. The President recommended only
a 5 per celt salary increase. Organ
izations throughout the Nation of
Federal Employees desired full pay
restoration. 1t occurred to me that
economy should not be ef~fectuated by
backward steps. If accomplished by
means of salary reduction it should
not be if at all in the brackets of
those who earn only a mere pittance.
That u. S. Government was not in a
sound logical position, asking private
business and enterprise to increase
salaries while it reduced them. The
best ~preachment is good example. so
likewise, | felt no element of fail
ure to support the Presidents pro-
gram. AS Mrs. Greenway, represen-
tative. from Arizona, close, personal
friend of the Roosevelts and brides
maid at their marriage said: Il hard
ly feel that we who honestly differ
from the President can be regarded
as disloyal. | am one of the Roose-
velt's best friends but it is my con-
viction that 100, 1000 people elect
ed us to lead and not to follow like
sheep" May | add-to fight for
them because their activities in busl-
ness, in labor, of farming and other
pursuits prevent their direct express
sion of their own will in government.

I'd like to ask the genial al

spent it's first trio Of years and
who and which Of the alder
manic body were responsible
for purchasing a two-handed
car for the then mayor?
If the present official gas
wagon was a second hand one
four years ago, that indicates
that at least two ex-mayors
managed to get around town in
the same car that Mayor Balm
bridge didn't want to produce
at a shrine parade. AS he has
only eleven months more to go,
why not let his successor have
the benefit of a new car? He
can get along nicely with the
old RATHER. IF he runs it bare
footed, then get it some arch
supporters, a can of grease and
a pair of second hand nonskid
chains. Eleven months soon
pass. Perhaps by that time the
market for twelve good used
cars will be higher-and the
new mayor may own fresh

hang on!

TWO PURGES NEEDED

phatic as that used at mention
of the Alliance.
Now, these remarks are not
what one might call "spon-
taneous combustion but they
are the result Of a too-familiar
contact with both. Or, an init
mate knowledge that both are
just about as nice to have
around as wildwood "kitty. -
There are thousands Of men
in the labor movement who are
honorable men, men whose
words are as good as a gold
bond, men who live like men,
men who are willing to fight for
the "rights Of the under dog
willing to give "the other fell
low" a break. And there are
men in that movement who
would sell the Holy Cross to a
junkman for two bits. Unfor-
tunately, it seems this stripe
have gained control Of the
labor movement-not through
their superior ability, but
through their "gift of CAB. y
Nature supplied them with alb
normal vocal organs but cheat
ed them on brains and left them
totally devoid of principle.
There are scores and scores
of business men who are now or
have been members of the Citi-
zens Alliance. They are men OF
honor, men of principle, men
who believe in the "rights oil

and who live clearly. If they

have no means Of knowing
the total membership Of the
Citizens Alliance, but I'll ven
ture a guess that it isn't fifty
per cent Of what it was two
years ago and not ten per cent
of what it could be-but it's
ninety per cent more than it
WILL BE, unless there's some
"purging' done, p.d.q.
I'm not attempting to tell the
Citizens Alliance who to GUST
and who to retain. I'm merely
telling the business men who
must support the Alliance if the
Alliance is to continue, that
THEY will have to clean house
or close up.
I'm not setting myself up as
a supreme judge of labor or
CARNATIONS, but | have intelli-
gence enough to see, and CUTS
enough to declare, that unless
organized labor takes over the
management of its affairs from
the dirty clutches of commu-
nists, IT'S DONE!
The public cannot do the
"purge" act for the Citizens
Alliance; the public cannot
clean the communist scum from
the labor organizations; those
cleansing processes must be
done by the clean living, clear
thinking, square shooting men,
bership- the rank and file of
both organizations.

In the meantime McGaughren
was reconsidering his resigna-
ton. He finally decided to stick
to the job-and the fruit shed
clerkship, his bluff to resign
having met with such popular
approval, even among members
of his own political gang, that
he thought best to adopt the old
slogan of eve III stick" He re-
duced that to the singular and
stuck.
After an absence that almost
carried him past the shrine con-
vention parade, the mayor sud-
denly decided that the board s
early hours were all right. He
could get up before breakfast
and inject some "pep" into that
laggard body. He might even
take complete charge of it. He
doubtless had a few visions of
whacking his initial appointee,
i. s. joseph, sharply on the
ankle.
The time limit of McGaugh-

dropped him on the table.
The mayor attended about two

that he attended one. He is said
to have demurred at the early

their evenings for other pur-
poses than board duties. They
were meeting at eight thirty

board managed to function. Not
always properly, but it dished
