 Noting hiS rapid progress, officials of tho concern sent him to open n branch in Waterbury in 1894, and his gucccss here far exceeded their expectations. He rapidly gained great popularity with local residents and in his business displayed traits of keenness and innate honesty.

of it."
 He warned miners to "be on your guard" against and encroachment on their liberty, and said:
 "Democracles have lived and died before. Our people must not be too sure of their present liberty. Eternal vigilanse is ever the price of free. dom."

 Back John l.. Lewis
 Washington, Jan. 3i--tUP)--Taik of secession from the American Federation of Labor spread today among the 1,700 United Mine Work CTS of America in convention here. The split of the A. ?. of l.. and It's largest single unit was emphasized by.,a resolution giving mine union heads the power to withhold dues. However, while some miners talked of seeding, Umwa President John L. Lewis and other "old heads" amond the leaders steered the con- vention away from an open break. The resolution, adopted by tumul- tuous shouting of "ayes," gave un- qualified endorsement of Lewis ef- forts to organize large industries into vertical unions, as opposed to the federationis craft union system.
 Lewis Made Fiery Address
 Lewis, in fiery address, con- demned the 4. r. of L. for its "das- tardly, diabolical betrayal of every. thing for which the true labor movement stand" Ills speech, studded with expressions of dc. fiance to 4. P. of l.. heads, was his dramatic answer to Miami dee inands of the federation's council that the committee for industrial organization, which Lewis heads, Do dissolved. Lewis said that if the council insists that he dissolve the committee "ali of the council fnefn- berB will be wearing asbestos suits in hell before I do so." "If you arc willing to assume the responsibili- ty for fighting ct all costs for in- dustrial unionism-if you are wil- ling, I am, too," Lewis said.
 Miners Show Approval
 The miners stood on their chairs and shouted their approval. Then they adopted the resolution author izing tho executive board to with hold dues amounting to e4e,000 . year when "conditions and circum- stances warrant" The UMWA has c membership of 100000, approxim- ately one-fifth of the total strength of the A. P. of L. It has . treasury balance of S2,2DD,02i, compared to the federation's S622, 2,D6b. Withhold ing of dues would amount to with- drawal. Observers believed that if the miners secedc they might take with them the other seven indus- trial unions having Q total iiefn- berghip of more than 10000 banded with Lewis in the fight for indus trial tinionlzation.
 May Not Halt Dues
 Few doubted that Lewis would be use his power tO halt dues if pressed by the A. P. of L. He made that clear when he said that "when the time comes, I'll say to the 4. ?. of L. and it's craft unions, continuing in their reactionary burbonpoIcy, just what I think you want me to-" Lewis, whose power already rivals that of A. F. of L. President Wii- liam Green, described to the miners his dream of 8 mass labor move- ment in this country which will es- tablish collective bargaining on the basis of equality with great corpo- rations and with great combinations of capital"
