What did the miners gain? Yes,
the miners had just grievances.
One year ago Secretary Ickes went
to John L. Lewis and said we need
more coal. He asked the miners
to work an extra day. / know the
miners are patriotic and l know
that John L. Lewis runs his union
as a dictatorship. I know that
because he won't even permit the
miners the democratic right to
elect their own officers in the dis
trict councils.
: Well, Brothers, after four strikes
which hurt our war effort, which
put the miners in an unpatriotic
light. the miners finally got that
extra day of work which Secretary
Ickes begged Lewis for a year ago.
Is that patriotism? Or is that
using the miners to attack the
prosecution of this war?
What else did the miners gain?
Well, another union of ours, the
International Mine. Mill and
Smelter Workers Union, have the
same grievances that the coal
miners have. They warted portal
to portal pay. That means from
the time they entered the mine
until the time they arrived at the
job they should be paid for that
time. One of our other unions
under the wise guidance of Reid
Robinson and the leadership OF
Phil Murray, adhering to the no.
strike pledge, went into the courts
and won that portal to portal pay.
Have the coal miners that today

DELEGATE ALBERT local 43,
IUSWA): Brother and Sister Dele
gates: This morning at this con-
vention, the State CLIO went on
record unequivocally, without any
hesitation on anyone's part that
we reaffirm our no-strike pledge
because of the decisive battles of
the war ahead.
Several days ago, the Secretary
of the Interior, Mr.. Ickes, stated
there is going to be twenty-five
million ton shortage of coal, par
ticularly at the time when the
three-power conference has just
taken place, and the next few
weeks may see the full scale in
vasion of Europe.
Brothers and Sisters, that short
age of coal is due TO the treacher-
Gus strikes of John L. Lewis, who
is using the miners grievances as
political football to attack the
Roosevelt Administration in its
prosecution of the war. (Applause)
What did the miners gain from
those four strikes that John Z.
Lewis had:
In my own industrial union we
have adhered to the no-strike
pledge. We have received an eight
cent an hour increase by adhering
to that no-strike pledge. We have
won thousands of grievances and

We believe this report can and
will be the rallying point for the
future growth of CLIO in Maryland
and the District of Columbia. The
Committee urges unity around this
report so that we may go forward
to build the CLIO into an even
greater organization, through the
organization Of the unorganized,
through political action, and
through the development and
realization of a program which will
make it possible for CLIO to assume
its full stature in winning the War
and the Peace which will follow.

DELEGATE MARUSCHEK Uo-

don't think that should be included
in that report. That report con-
dennis all of the miners. This
convention has stated time and
time again
CHAIRMAN DRURY: I cannot
let that go unchallenged. The
Officers Report does not condemn
the miners.
DELEGATE MARUSCHEK: In
an indirect way.
CHAIRMAN DRURY: Very indi-
rect.
DELEGATE MARUSCHEK: I
say that should be left out. This
convention is seeking unity in the
labor movement. We all realize
that all labor must now during the
war and after the war unite for
the one cause, for the benefit Of
labor. If we are to let this go
unchallenged and adopt the report
as whole, it is possible that in
this paper and in other papers
tomorrow morning you will find
"John L. Lewis, traitor, con-
demned."

No complaints, no fuss.
But it was tough getting laughs in those
