scinded, if at all, by the Policy Com
mittee.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Lewis pointed out
the miners would be here over the
week end, ready to listen to any
peace proposals of the operators.
Policy Committee members had
been sent home two weeks ago after
a deadlock developed in attempts to
form new contract to replace the
tWo-year agreement that expired
March 81, leaving idle $4,000 miners
in the Appalachian area.
Actions Meaning Debatable.
1t was uncertain whether Mr..
Lewis action was a prelude to peace
or declaration of open warfare, but
operators were reported readying a
new compromise proposal.
In a final offer several weeks
ago, they rejected the unions de-
mand for either a closed shop or the
elimination of strike penalty clauses.
but expressed willingness to recog-
nlze the c. I. O. union as the sole
collective bargaining agent.
Mr.. Lewis has ordered more than
900 soft coal miners in 13 States
outside the eight-State Appalachian
region to quit work next Thursday
and Friday unless a contract is
signed.
Hard Coal Contract Extended.
A shutdown in the anthracite in
dustry was averted yesterday when
the present three-year contract
which expires Sunday midnight. was
continued week pending the out
come OF attempts to reach a new
agreement. Negotiations will resume
Monday.
Observers believed Mr.. Lewis
agreed to keep the 100000 Pennsyl-
vanla hard coal miners involved at
work in the hope it would spur the
soft coal operators to sign contract
on his terms to keep from losing
more business.
Mine Reported Dynamited.
KEYSER, w. Va. April 20 ,R).-
Fuel mines in Elk district, near Elk
Garden, called on Sheriff Harley O.
Staggers today for protection. Sher-
iff Staggers was told that the mines
of Thomas Harvey, above Nethken
Oscar Kalbaugh on Barnum road
and Clark's mine had been dyna-
mited.
The Klabaugh mine was set on
fire and several loads of coal were
burned, the sheriff was told.
Sheriff Staggers told operators it
was impossible to keep personal
watch on all mines, but they had
| legal right to protect their property
and should put on watchmen.
Sheriff Staggers reported he Wis
tied a number of mines where pick
cts had assembled and they dis
persed on his request.

(Montana Review
Editors Note: In defending
Treason" the federal constitution
should be amended so as to in
clude and TO penalize, all acts
designed TO mislead the people,
says Frank Edwards, former mayor
of Helena, in the following letter.
Helena, Montana
August %, 1889
Editor Caverly:
All embarrassed writers should adj
vocate the rational discussion of die
tatorship" and the meaning of the
word Tradition" as applied to a
three-term President of the United
States.
The President is a creature of the
Constitution. His powers and limita-
tons are prescribed therein. The
President is commander-in-chie of
the army, navy and militia. He may
require the opinion, in writing, of
the principal officer in each of the
executive departments. He may
grant reprieves and pardons except
in cases of impeachment. The Presi-
dent may make treaties with the
consent of two-thirds of the Senate.
And by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate he shall appoint
ambassadors, supreme court judges,
and all other officers of the United
States, whose appointments are not
otherwise provided for.
The President may fill vacancies
during congressional recesses, which
appointments must expire at the end
of the next session. He shall from
time to time, give to the Congress
information of the state of the union,
and recommend such measures to
their consideration as he shall judge
necessary and expedient. And he
shall take care that the laws are
faithfully executed.
Substantially, these are the powers
upon which an alleged dictator must
rely when entering upon a third
term or any other term as President.
Nor is that all. The President may
be impeached by the Congress, and
the same treatment may be given
by the Congress to each and every
member of the U. S. supreme court
It, therefore, must appear to your
readers, Mr.. Caverly, that the Con-
stitution of the United States vests
the power of dictatorship only in
the Congress, composed of more than
800 men who are selected by ballots
cast in all parts of America.
The presidential veto which is Of
negative force only, may be over.
ridden by the Congress, and the
executive powers exercised by the
President may be treated as being
related to dictatorship" but only
with the consent of Congress whose
members (paid by the year, wish
to adjourn and go home.

GIN Agreement Major
Gain for Union
Union News service)

DETROIT, Aug. 12.-Members of
the United Automobile Workers are
back at work at General Motors,
celebrating the biggest auto union
victory since the first written agree
ments were signed in the winter of
1887.
Seventy-five hundred skilled tool
and die makers, engineering and
maintenance workers who had been
on strike for more than a month,
won most of the demands which
they had submitted to the mammoth
auto producer.
The agreement, signed after it had
been ratified by the strikers, gave
the UAW-CIO sole bargaining rights
for the first time in AZ of GINS SO
plants, and increased wages by as
much as Is cents an hour in some
cases. Most of the workers involved
received Scent increases.
The agreement, which wipes out
the remains of Homer Martins dis
ruptive influence in the GIN system,
provides for double time for Sunday
and holiday work, and permits the
use of the union label on tools and
machinery purchased by the COM
pany from union suppliers.

MINE MILL UNION
SET FOR DRIVE
By HAROLD RossMAN

DENVER, Aug. 19.-Adoption of
a broad organizing program and
action to provide funds for expand
ed organization stood out today as
the main accomplishments of the
36th convention of the Init. Union
of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers
Just concluded here.
As the $50 delegates from all sec
tions of the United States and
Canada started for their homes they
also had the satisfaction of knowing
that the leadership of their union
would repose for another year in
the capable hands of President Reid
Robinson, whose contributions to the
unions progress were acclaimed
when he was nominated without
opposition to serve a fourth term.
Unity of Spirit
The six-day meeting, shortest in
the unions recent history, was
marked by the unity and progress
sive spirit of the delegates as we'll
as by the galaxy of government and
labor leaders, who spoke as guests
of the conclave.
U. S. Wage-Hour Administrator
Elmer F. Andrews addressed the
nation over a CHS nationwide hook
up from the convention banquet.
Other headliners to speak were Miss
Kathryn Lewis, assistant to the
chairman of the CLIO; Walter Smet-
hurst, executive assistant to John L.
Lewis, and President Michael Quill
of the Transport Workers Union.
Plan Expansion
Plans for the expansion of the
IUMM&SW and the continuance of
its program of concentration on the
strategic portions of the metals in
dustry were continued in the re-
port of Pres. Robinson, which was
concurred in by the executive board
and adopted by the convention. At
the same time the convention formu-
lated a constitutional amendment,
to go to a national referendum of
the membership, which will pro-
vide the per capita necessary to
carry out the program.
A highlight of the meeting was
Walter Smethurst's opening-day
speech, in which he told the dele
gates, 'The membership of the CLIO
will not tolerate a Munich peace,
whereby our affiliated unions will
be stripped of their membership in
order to satisfy the principles of
craft unionism."
Among the actions taken by the
convention was endorsement of a
third term for President Roosevelt.
Nomination of the officers to be
voted on by referendum in October
saw two board members unopposed
Tony McTeer of District 4 and Jess
Gonzalez of District 6. All other
officers will be contested.
