to prevent unionization of coal field

to reach an agreement on a verdict
after an 11-week trial.
Reports Of No Retrial.
Mr.. Green said he also had before
him reports the Justice Department
might not seek retrial of the indict-
ments.
The negotiation of a c. I. o. union
agreement in coal field where the
long war over unionization has brought
reports of frequent bloodshed, Mr..
Green charged, was additional proof
that John L. Lewis is using the Federal
Government agencies as recruiting
agents for the United Mine Workers. +"
This collusive action cannot go
unchallenged," he said. THE Ameri-
can workingman must make up his
mind that such a program, if allowed
to continue unchecked. would sub
stitute for the evils which have been
outlawed by Congress a single union
in which John L. Lewis would be the
dictator and beneficiary
He will then bargain with en-
ployers, who are given the alternative
of bargaining with him alone or of
being persecuted; he will then bar
gain for the workingman upon terms
and conditions advantageous to him
as the dictator and to which terms
and conditions the workingman must

Complaint to Be Filed.
Mr.. Green said Joseph PadWay, the
A. F. OF L. general counsel would file
a complaint with the Labor Board,
charging the spirit and letter of the
act" were violated by the signing of
the agreement without giving the
miners chance to choose the union
they wanted.
The Progressive Miners of America,
A. F. OF L. rival to Mr. Lewis U. M. W.,
he said, will begin an organizing
campaign in Kentucky.
Mr.. Green challenged as "subter-
fuge" reported plan to have district
10 of the U. NJ. w. ratify the agree
ment today
Their approval means nothing" he
said, adding the opinion that few
Harlan County miners belonged to the
U. M. w. district
Meanwhile, at Cincinnati Philip G.
Phillips, regional director of the Labor
Board, said the agreement did not
call for closed shop.
For the first time in their existence
Harlan County workers may join any
union to which they would want to
belong, whether American Federation
OF Labor or Committee for Industrial
Organization" he said.
