coal industry, the United Mine Workers of
America
Coal operators at last are able to deal with
one union for all Of their employees. The
stabilizing effect of such an arrangement
must be apparent to everyone A vast
majority of the coal operators OF the country
are happy over the adoption Of this PLAN
They do not wish to deal with fifteen or
twenty different unions and run the risk of
jurisdictional disputes among them when
they can bargain with one single union for
all Operators know that the United Mine
Workers of America is a responsible organi-
zation that lives up to the provisions of its
contract and expects operators to do like
wise. This union does not violate its con-
tracts. 1t does not engage in disputes with
other unions-disputes that ofttimes tie up
an industry and cause inconvenience, loss
and decentralization No other union is in
position to question the supremacy of the
United Mine Workers of America in the mine
labor field, now that the principle of the
union shop is a fundamental part of its wage
and working agreement
Many years were devoted to the struggle
for the union shop in the coal industry, but
the United Mine Workers of America never
quits until it attains its objective. From now
on, every man employed in and around the
bituminous mines must be member of this
union, if he is eligible to membership. Thus,
the great stabilzing influence of the United
Mine Workers of America again is demon
strated.-United Mine Workers Journal.
Montana labor news., 1939-06-08
The Union Shop

When the United Mine Workers of America
entered the Appalachian bituminous wage
conference in New York it was with firm
determination to win the union shop for the
coal miners of this nation. And they came
out of that conference with the union shop
as basic part of the new agreement. They
won it because it was right that they should
win With the union shop firmly imbedded
in the provisions of the contract, the United
Mines Workers Of America can truthfully
say to hundreds of thousands of members
Here is the greatest victory since collective
bargaining was started"
Some people call it closed shop contract.
Well call it what you please, closed shop,
union shop, or what have you, it is here to
stay 1t means that labor relations in the
coal industry are now stabilized, and that
there can be no further interference, inter
ruption or outside meddling with those re-
lations. There is now but one union in the

day." the people finally elected a
man who was not terrorized by the
money powers, Culbert Olson. One
Of his promises had been that he
would free Tom Mooney and he
kept his word. He cannot free
Billings until the California Supreme
Court so recommends.
This is the background of the man
who will speak to Butte workers on
Miners Union Day. 1t is true that
a powerful, aggressive labor move
ment could have freed Mooney and
Billings and other class war prison
ers years ago. But recriminations
would do no good now, Throughout
the years. Mooney himself never
faltered, never gave up the fight.
In prison he was a living symbol
of class oppression. No case since
capitalism began has SO clearly
shown the alignment of class forces
in America. AS a free man, Tom
Mooney will carry forward the torch
of justice and human freedom.

Your Union and You
(From Montana ReViel0)


Any member of union who thinks his
union is a slot machine where you stick in
your dues and hope for q, payroll in better
working conditions, is all wet.
Neither is a union a shop where a member
buys shorter hours and higher wages.
Nor is it a business, for it does not sell any
thing to anybody.
A union is a cooperative enterprise
democratic body of workers, in which each
member does his share of work and takes
his share of responsibility. It's measure of
success is the measure Of cooperation Of its
members.
A members responsibilities for the well
fare of his union-and himself-only start
with the payment of his dues That is but
a small item. He must go much further
He must help build his unions strength by
getting new members. He must talk union
wherever and whenever he has opportunity
correct false impressions state facts.
He must always be aware of what the
officers and representatives are doing and
must feel free to make constructive sugges-
tions and helpful criticism
He must attend meetings. read his official
Journal and keep posted and up-to-the-
minute on union affairs.
He must be intelligently informed on why
his union was formed-the necessity that
inspired it, what are its aims and how it is
working to attain those aims.
He must know how and why it is fighting
for closed shops, collective bargaining de-
cent and livable working conditions and
economic security for It's members.
He must know what is going on in the
labor movement in general, the part his
union is playing in that movement and the
reasons for it.
In short, he must feel that his union is
his own organization; that he is vital unit
in a cooperative effort to improve his in
dustry and all who are connected with it.

What He Wants

Senator Burke, Democrat, of Nebraska, as
every one knows, is a monomaniac on the
subject of organized labor. He dislil1es any,
thing connected with it. At the hearings
before the Senate Committee on Education
and Labor regarding the Wagner law he
advocated changes in the law which, put
politely, would:
Impose restraints on improper practices
whether engaged in by employee or en-
ployer.
Authorize the appointment of new labor
board of three members representing en-
ployers employees and the public.
List unfair labor union practices and
permit employers to express their views" to
their workers belonging to labor unions.
Grant employers the right to petition the
Labor Board for an election.
Compel labor organizations to file sworn
statements giving their financial status,
names of all officers who are American citi-
zens and copies of their constitutions and
bylaws
In other words, Senator Burke would re-
make the Wagner law into a law for the
employers notwithstanding the fact that the
original intention of the law was to open
new day for labor giving the workers as free
hand as the employers already had.
The law as it stands is constitutional, has
proved its beneicence to all workers and
makes for industrial peace. Yet Senator
Burke wants the act sent to the junk pile!
Most Of Senator Burkes proposals is class
legislation of the most vicious kind, making
unions government outlaws. Union labor
refuses to stand for it.-United Mine Workers

HISTORY OF MOONEY
CASE AND EFFORTS OF.
LABOR TO FREE HIM
Famous Man to Address People
of Butte on Miners
Union Day.

On July %, 1916, as a Prepared
ness Parade wound its way up San
Francisco's Market street, a suitcase
of dynamite exploded, bringing
death to 10, wounding 40 others.
Who really committed that terrible
crime will perhaps never be known
but two innocent men spent %
years in prison as victims of the
vilest frameup in labor history. Tom
Mooney is now free but Warren K.
Billings is still in prison.
Inflamed public feeling of the
time demanded that someone be
punished. There was a militant
labor leader named Mooney who
had been a thorn in the side of the
labor-hating corporations, such as
the Pacific Gas and Electric, Market
Street Railway and others. Here
was a splendid chance to get rid of
him for good And thus began the
deliberate, unbelievably cold-blood-
ed attempt to frame an innocent
man. The odious Charles Fickert
and his assistant, Charles Cunha,
prosecuted Mooney and Billings with
the help of the choicest collection of
perjurors, stool-pigeons and com
pany thugs that money could buy.
The two men were convicted and
sentenced to death, but Gov.
Stephens of California was induced
by Woodrow Wilson to commute the
sentence to life Imprisonment By
a happy coincidence, Felix Frank

mittee also reported that the ushers
had already received an increase in
wages of five cents an hour. And

urged all unions to have delegates

GREYHOUND DRIVERS
VOTE TO STRIKE

SAN FRANCIS SCO.-(FP)-
Drivers in the Pacific Greyhound
Lines have voted 81 per cent to
strike if the company continues to
refuse to recognize the Bro of Rail
road Trainmen (unaffiliated) as
their bargaining agent, and insists
on its former contract with the
Amalgamated Assn. of Street Elec-
trio Railway and Motor Coach EN-
ployees (AFL).
The drivers have given the COM
pany an ultimatum, and if their de-
mand is rejected they will at once
apply for strike sanction. A walk
out would involve 664 men and tie
up the entire coast. The BRIT was
certified by the NLRB.

furter was appointed to the Supreme
Court in the same week that Mooney
was set free. His report on the case
in 1919 expressed a belief in the
innocence of Mooney and Billings.
The Long Fight.
The story of MONEYS fight for
freedom would fill large book.
Four California governors reopened
the case only to snap it shut again.
Labor and liberals rallied to the
cause. Great-hearted lawyers like
Frank Walsh and others worked
without fee and often at their own
expense. The despicable Mcdonald
and OXman, the states chief perjur-
ers, recanted their testimony but
Mooney remained in prison. Why?
The general manager of the
United Railways gave the answer
to one of his chief strikebreakers:
Miller" said he, Mooney and
Billings are going to remain in
prison as long as United Railways
can keep them there. We know
they're not guilty but they're agita-
tors and that strike cost us a million
dollars"
The last phase of the struggle be-
gan in 1885 when the California
Supreme Court appointed a referee
to hear testimony on a writ of
habeas corpus The sessions lasted
1876 court days and filled a transcript
of $4,000 pages. Even after 18 years,
this hearing brought out facts and
documents hitherto suppressed or
hidden. But it all ended with an
adverse decision from the court.
Never, not even in the Sacco-V Van
zetti case, was there a more solid
front of labor's enemies.

If You Drive, Don't Drink
If You Drink, Don't Drive

More than one-fourth of all of the IS
people killed during october met death
through traffic accidents in which a
motor vehicle driver had drunk in
toxicating liquor.
During october, 26.6 per cent of all
the drivers involved in fatal accidents,
motorist or pedestrian, had been drink
ing, according to the compulsory reports
turned in to the safety division of the
Minnesota Department of Highways.
Drinking drivers also figured in l16
per cent Of all accidents, which re-
suited in IS dead and 635 injured.
Intoxication, however, was not alone
the major cause of death and injury
on streets and highways. So per cent
of all the drivers involved in all of the
accidents had physical defect which
handicapped their driving ability, and
Ct per cent of all the motor vehicle
drivers involved in fatal accidents suf-
fered from some physical defect.
Sixty-four per cent of all the ac-
cidents recorded during october showed
legal violations on the part of the driver
of one or the other motor vehicle at
the time of the accident In all fatal
crashes, 61.5 per cent of the drivers were
in violation of the law at the time the
fatality occurred.
Pedestrians, however, were more
neglible in violation of traffic laws
than were motorists. In all accidents
involving pedestrians, 7O5 per cent of
the pedestrians were violating the traffic
laws at the time they suffered injury,
and 69.5 per cent were violating the
law at the time they met death in
traffic.
Surprising in its significance is the
fact that s3.5 per cent of all pedestrians
involved in motor vehicle accidents in
Minnesota during the month of October
were urban residents. In other words.
rural residents are learning to benefit
by the safety slogan Always walk on
the left side of the road, facing on
coming traffic" Metropolitan residents.

to cross between intersections without
properly watching for onconing motor
traffic.
During the month of October, 18 BIZ
cycle accidents were recorded No ia
talities resulted from these accidents,

COUNTY FUNDS
TO ELY FAIR
One of Nine Fairs In County
to Get Aid; Rural Library
Appropriation Made.

Appropriations for the Ely Com
munity Fair and the rural library, OPP
Grating out of the city under the
management Of Mrs. Ruth King, Ii
brarian for the city library, were in
cluded in the st. Louis county budget
for 1910.
The fair will receive the same as in
past years, $780, With the $3.50 in
Guided in the Commercial Club budget,
the fair will receive a total appropri-
alton of $3.50, the same as it received
in 1885,
Nine other similar fairs in the county
also receive 500 each from the county.
The board appropriated S1822331 fof
the four rural Libraries in the county,
located at Ely, Virginia, Hibbing, and
Duluth. This will make the third ap-
preparation for this work, the other
two being $4,000 each.
No information has been received
here as to what Ely's share will be for
the coming year The last two years
it was given $4,000, similar amount
going to the other three.
1t is believed that the increase may
be for Hibbing to take care of the
rural nbrary'S work in the Town of
Stuntz where it has large circulation.
Hibbing has asked for such an increase.
1t is expected that Ely will again be
given $4,000 for its rural work.
The city section of the library will
receive $4,000 from the council next
year, an increase of about $500 over
this year
