AFL Miners Are
Doubtful Of UNIV
Re-Admission

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.-(FP)-Re-
admission of the United Mine
Workers to the AFL is not possi-
bic under the AFL constitution,
in the opinion of Lloyd A. Thrush,
Illinois state president Of the Pro-
gressive Mine Workers (AFL).
"The AFL constitution permits
chartering Of only one union cover
ing basic industry" Thrush said.
His is the only union at present
holding a charter for coal miners
in the federation.
Thrush did not say whether he
would oppose acceptance Of the
UNIV petition for re-admission,
nor would he comment on the
status of his organization should
the petition be acted on favorably
at the coming AFL convention in
October.
The Progressives were chartered
by the AFL in 1888 and now have
some 10000 members.

Spicer office
Organization
GrolUing

Scott Rogers, in charge of the
organizational work for the Spicer
Unit in the Spicer office, is au-
thority for the statement that
"since the company is putting more
heat on the workers, more office
employees are taking an interest in
organizing and are signing up in
increasing numbers"
Efforts of the Spicer manage
ment to create trouble for the union
in its plant has created consider
able sympathy among the office
workers ranks, according to Mr..
Rogers, who says that the en-
ployes in the office, seeing the
spirit of cooperation and mutual
ielpfulness which exists in the fac
Oory, are anxious to have a similar
organization for themselves.
Many new CI0 members are be-
ing signed up by office employees
who have but recently joined the
organization themselves. 7 h e S e
people realize the value of strong
organization and are working very
hard to perfect their organization
and make it strong weapon in
