LEVVIS'S CIO EMPIRE

This is one thing the miners have not liked. However, they have not known much about ii. They have not known in any de tail, for instance, that Their John has used miners funds to organize other unions. Probably they did not know that he fnanc- ed man to operate inside the Newspaper Guild, union far re moved from the coal industry.
 This was how John L. continu- ed his great personalized power. He maintains it also by playing close to his district coal leaders. They eat out of his hand. And he feeds them well.
 Not many miners knew it, but shortly before the present strike was called, Lewis summoned his district presidents and gave them an unexpected and handsome boost in salary, from $6,000 to $10,000 a year. With the boost, Lewis warned that he would ex- pect them to collect the increased dues and see that the men stood behind the expected strike in the captive mines.
 These district presidents are the men who keep the miners in line locally, and operate Lewis s personal machine. And with lush pap fed from the hand of their master, they seldom fail to do his bidding.
 John l.. has other means of keeping his glorified ego in the drivers seat. One is elections. When it is announced to the press that the miners have voted to stand behind John L. Lewis, it does not necessarily mean that the great mass of miners have voted. It usually means that a little group of hand-picked Lewis ties at the top have carried out orders.
 Elections in the United States of America have come to be a sacred mandate, jealously guard ed. Even inside big corporations today there is supervision of el- ections. Many state laws require that when a corporation votes on an important issue affecting the public, not merely a majority, but tWo-thirds of the stock holders must approve.

The Man Who Has Done More To Build Up Labor And Tear It
 Down Than Any Man In America

WASHINGTON-John L. Lew is was two years old when his family in Lucas, Iowa, partic,p ated in a labor strike. He was seven years old when he left school to work with his father in the mines. He was 2l years old when he left home to roam thru the mining areas of the Far West and later 10 become a tough union organizer.
 Fabulous stories were told about him even at that time: that he ate three raw beefsteaks, that he had once felled a mine mule with a blow of his fist, that he pounded on the desks until trem- bling state legislatures passed the labor laws he demanded.
 In the mythology was a cer- tain core of truth. John L. Lewis got what he wanted by letting no man stand in his way, and he gloried in that reputation.
 Furthermore, he was fighting mine owners who were just as tough as he, and frequently more ruthless; men who were culling the cream Of the country's coal without regard to the future: men who would rather see en- tire cities cave in than spend money on mine props; men who made the green hills of Pennsyl- vania and West Virginia dreary and desolate with piles of black waste.
 It took a tough man to fight for the miners in those days and John L. Lewis was equal to it. He lifted the wage level in an industry which desperately need ed lifting, and the miners have been forever grateful.

cQlne.
 For instance. when Carl Hold crnan, head of the New Jersey CIO, fired suspected Commun- ist, the latter came to Washing ton and got a job from John L. Lewis's CIO headquarters, which promptly assigned him right back to New Jersey as an organ ger where he could embarrass Holderman.
 The miners liked to think of their chief as sitting in a huge office and riding in limousine as long as any mine owners; but many times during recent years they have sat in the outer office holding their hats, while Their John spent his time negotiating
 strikes in CIO unions which had no relation whatsoever to the Mine Workers.

ROOSEVELT SAVED LEWIS

In 1883, however, John Lewis was very near the brink. The depression had closed mine after mine. Almost half his miners were out of work, Non-union miners had taken over great areas. And his treasury was al- most flat.
 The story of how Roosevelt say ed him, and adopted liberal labor program, is too we'll known to need retelling here. And with that new surge of power, John L.'s old egoism scared to fuller and greater heights. He was cru sading for labor, it was true; but it was personalized crusade which was wrapped up in the glorification of one man.
 The fact that John L. bought out the University Club in Wash ington and transformed it into a wood-panelled sanctum as ornate as any big business office along Wall Street was relatively unim- portant. Ii indicated however, his personalized rule over the min CTS. The United Mine Workers always had been a one man ma chine but now John L. reached out and built up the CIO. And the CIO hecanne a one man ma

NO INSPECTION OF BOOKS

But the voting of John l.. LeWis's powerful organization is above state or federal regulation. There is nc public supervision to see hCV the vote is taken. -#. ..-..- Likewise there is no outside supervision of John L. LeWis's books. The books of Sidney Hill man of the Amalgamated Cloth ing Workers, or cf David Dubin- sky's International Ladies Gar ment Workers, are subject to in spection. Every telegram and stamp Is accounted for. But no outsider, except his immediate friends and family, can tell for what strikes John L. spends the United Mine Workers money.
 Today, the head of every big insurance company is subject to state and government regulation. So are the banks. They are semi public institutions. The funds and fate of many people are in- volVed. The Unions also are great public institutions. John L. Lewis has at his command an army three times the normal peace time army of the United States. The U. s. army is sub iected to the strictest supervision from the War Department. Ev- erything 1t does, every cent it spends is checked and double checked not only by trained pub lie servants, but by both houses of Congress.
 But John L. Lewis has a pri- vate army of his own, subject only to his command and drill ed by the little group of district presidents whose salaries he so conveniently raised.
 The Congress of the United States is $ ubject to reelection every two and six years. The President can be turned out ev- cry four years. But John L. Lewis has been in office around twenty years and no miners group has had the power to oust him.
 In other words, the CIO Car, who calls Roosevelt a dictator, himself has dictatorial powers which no other one man in this country can equal. He has the power to stall national defense. He has the power to play into the hands of Hitler. And most tragic of all he has the power to cruelty the patriotism and pro- i gress of the workingmen whose champion he is supposed to be. 1 AS a result, all of the labor 1 gains made under Roosevelt may now vanish on the wave of Lew ! is's recalcitrance.
