ton board to represent his in
terests and when the decision
came down il was 9 10 , against
him.
AGENCY LIQUIDATED
His men, Philip Murray, new
president of the Go and Bit
ter enemy of Lewis. and Thomas
Kennedy were the two men who
cast the minority vote in his
favor. When the decision went
against him, Lewis took Murray
and Kennedy off the board and
that was the end of that agency.
Then followed the dishonest
trick. The President had vowed
publicly that the government OF
the United States will not order,
nor will Congress pass legisla-
tion ordering, a so-called closed
shop.
But far from moving against
Lewis the President through "A
few Servile senators blocked

privileges.
NAMES NEW BOARD
He appointed a new board OF
three men 10 settle again a dis
pute which already had been
decided against Lewis by an
official agency whose ruling
Lewis had agreed TO obey and
then repudiated.
Lewis was one member Of this
new board and it was foregone
conclusion. of course, that he
would vote for his own interests.
Benjamin Fairless, president OF
the company which owned the
mines. was the second member
and il was certain that he would
vote for himself.
The third member was John
r. Steelman of the Federal Con-
citation Service and ii was abSo-
lutely certain that he would vote
for Lewis.
COMES THROUGH
Steelman entered heartily into
the spirit of the fraud, with
drawing temporarily from his
federal status so that he could
say that he was not acting as a
government agent although, Of
course, II was perfectly plain
that he was acting for President
Roosevelt and that he would
vote with Lewis against Fairless
and give Lewis the closed shop
which the President had sol
EMMY declared this government
never would concede.
The morning after Pearl Har-
Dor. Steelman's decision came
our. Lewis had won. The
President of the United States
had broken a solemn pledge and
rcpudiated a principle on which
he had placed a high value.
DENOUNCES LEWIS
Although Murray since has
been flattered, consulted and re-
ferrcd TO as a labor leader of
high principle, he showed his
principle when he repudiated his
undertaking by reSigning from
the old mediation board under
which the orders Of Lewis, whom
he has since denounced as a
tyrant and notorious liar, merely
because a decision went against
him N.Y. \\

Sible for their acts.

sPURNED 1T PREVIOUSLY

The proposal. which was re-
jected by the mine operators dur
ing the collective bargaining ne
gotiations, would give the miners
an estimated 81 p daily raise IN
pay by guaranteeing them six
days work a week, with time and
a half for overtime for the sixth
day worked.
Mine operators Spurned the
compromise during the negotiation
by contending the mines were
working six days a week with the
overtime pay for the sixth day.
when it was economically feasible
to operate the colleries six days a
week.

POLICY GROUP TO MEET

The six day guaranteed work
week would not boost the basic
daily wage rate of the miners and

not violate the Little Steel for

RELIEF SWEEPS AREA

A surge OF relief swept over the
coal regions as the crisis suddenly
lifted. The bewildered miners,
torn between loyalty 10 both
Roosevelt and Lewis, were glad
70 see the clouds lift and so were
their wives. The miners resented
any intimations that they are not
100 per cent patriotic.
Almost 10 man. the more thar
100000 bituminous and anthracite
miners had tuned their radios last
night 10 h ear what President
Roosevelt had TO say 70 them ano
10 the country.
Many of them didn't catch the
radio bulletin giving the news oi
