ing an investigation of the situation
in the soft coal mines of Cape Breton
Island, where members and member
locals of the United Mine Workers
are defying the edict of the district
executive and refusing to work with
alien-born miners, even though the
latter are in good union standing.
Because of the frequent Interrupt
tions in mine production, due to the
miners in three of the biggest pits
walking out when 122 alien-born
miners are assigned to work with
them, the attention of the Dominion
government has been attracted.
1t is now reported that the Cana
dian-born miners threaten to use vio-

force the alien-born men on them as
associate workers The order of the

ment from the executive for anybody.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police
approved the permission extended the
alien-born men to work in the mines,
after making a survey, in which it was
revealed that no charge of subversive
activities had been proved against
any of the men allowed to get the
work.

November were burned Wednesday
in the Hamilton incinerator, Fred NJ
