Miner Fined for Returning to Job Tells How Taft Act Saved Him

a free and vindicated worker, but
paid for all time lost, with a pro-
tected job and freedom from fur
ther reprisal or unjust discrimina-
ton.
I have been coal miner in the
Canton district of Illinois District
12) for the last 13 years. I was
elected president of my local union
three times, and was twice dele
gate to the national UMWA con-
ventions, and was never defeated
for any union Office.
I have at all times been a loyal
union man and fully believe in,
and adhere to, the sound princi-
pies of organized labor, as the
coal operators in the Canton dis
trict have good reason to know.
I always will believe in democratic
labor organizations and I mean
Just that. However, in the UMWA
District IL, which covers the en-
tire State of Illinois, we are not
allowed to elect our own district
president and high district Off
cialS.
Wants Democracy for Union.
These district officials, who
have all power over the local
unions of the State. are appointed
by John L. Lewis and can be fired
by him. They naturally must fol-
low his slightest desire-which
means that Lewis is to all prac-
tical purposes a dictator. And
John L. exercises this self-dele-
gated power to the fullest extent.
Lewis often hides behind his
policy committee when accused

with an iron hand for 80 years.
They brooked neither interference
nor criticism from the so-called
common union card holders. But
my case hit them between the
eyes. They lost their arrogance,
forgot vengeance and went all
out to save their hides. They could
not bluff, and their goons could
not invade the inner sanctum of
the NLRB.
Charges are Withdrawn.
So Lewis lawyers and "yes men"
lost no time in rushing to the
NLRB Offices in Chicago, where
they agreed that the charges
against Lloyd Sidener were false.
The charges were withdrawn and
the Lewis attorneys and his min
ions in District 2 agreed to clear
my name and take me. miner,
back in good standing, see to it
that I was paid fully for all the
time lost ($2,200) and guarantee
me against discrimination or re-
prisal in the future.
The surrender was complete.
It was the first time that a
working union miner had defied
the arrogance of Lewis and his
satellites and sought the pro-
lection of the Taft-Hartley Act
through the NLRB and won hands
down.
No wonder John L. Lewis and
certain types of despotic labor
leaders are against the Taft-Hart-
ley Act and especially the unfair
labor provisions of the act. For
the first time in SO years, every
member of the UMWA has a dem
ocratic right to criticize his labor
bosses, in or outside a union hall,
and have federal protection in SO
doing.
An appeal to the NLRB will give
any union member instant pro-
lection against intimidation or re-
prisal from his superiors, whether
they be unfair employers or ar
bitrary union leaders.
Never Defeated for Union Office.

slave, for all practical purposes.

Of dictatorship over the miners.
This f1imsy excuse is laughable,
since Lewis personally appoints a
majority of the men who compose
that committee, and all of the
policy committee appointed by
Lewis can be removed by him.
Every coal miner in Illinois has
wanted democracy within the
union of that State for a good
many years. I propose to help
them get it.

Communication
The Nome Nugget, Dear SirS:

The Nome Nugget,
 Dear SirS:
 In an article appearing in a re- cent issue of "The Nome Nugget" " concerning me and my back ground, a statement appeared in a recent issue which I, in all fair ness, think should be corrected.
 This statement is not retrac- ton of the other, which essential ly was correct. However, a state ment was made that might prove misleading, and it is my desire to make the correction.
 The statement referred to my spending several years in the Franciscan Schools doing prepara- tory for the Jesuit Priesthood. Most of us know the two Orders are separate, yet it is not too un- common in practice to find young men training in Vocational Boys Schools in one Order with the in- tention of finishing in another Or der.
 never stated that I had actu- ally studied in the Jesuit Order, but that my preliminary training in the Franciscan Order was to be carried over into the Jesuit Order as planned by my pastor and par ents. This can be proven by tran

scripts and diplomas, also by liV- ing witnesses.
 There never was any malicious intent to capitalize on my back ground. I wish all to know my only and supreme motive in life is in bringing people to Christ, that they might live clean, moral lives in contact with the living God, thereby making better citizens, and prepared to meet the Judg- ments of living, and Almighty God.
 My life is an open book, I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of, I shall be happy to answer all sincere questions for those who wish to know more concerning this matter.
