from the standpoint of Lewis him-
aelf, the strike brought certain com-

production. It allowed him to prove
hiiloyaltytothedefeatistsandto

negotiated peace and the appeasement
of Hoover, Taft, Vandenberg, Lan-

IN ORDERING government seizure of the
mines, President Roosevelt took the only
eourse open to him to protect the interests
ofanationatwar.
ordering the fourth mine strike, John
L. ' asonce more extendedah ing
and to the Axis, and he did it at the _very
moment when the oihles £7-Ii the Hoswr-'
conference agreements were spelling out an
early doom for Hitler. While Senators Bey-
nolds and Wheeler, Lewis polities! friends,
_were mouthing their dissatisfaction because
the last weapons were linoeked out of Bit-lefs hands, Lewis sought to knife the home
front.
' -Once more the country 'csn see who really
ieeds isms. At Philede!phie_, me G10 eon-
vention under President Philip Murray:
ieadership, reaflirmed its unqualied no-
strike pledge at a special order of business.
The C10 fully recognises that Hitler's doom
is near, but it also recognises that it will still
take hard ghting and sa&'l'oes to make
that possible. It warned against oom-
plaoency, Lewis is subbing upon that policy
oi labor, and is exploiting the griefanms oi
- the miners to accomplish purpose.
As we have stated many times, the miners
are iustied in their dissatisfaction with the
-WLB agreement. But this cannot serve as
ah excuse for the strike. ' _ "
The reactionary bloc in Congress which
even at this hour is preparing to ght the
President's program for a roll-back in prises
that he outlined in his food subsidy message
iionday, is, iiiie Lewis, responsible for the
situation; ao_are the prot-hungry employ-
ers and so is the inexible attitude of some
government oicisis and the War Labor
Board. ' - I _
But by striking and playing into the hands
of labora enemies, the miners are jeopardis-
ing their own interests both as workers and
citizens. They should instead join the gen-
21! stre.-.n~. of iebor in Is rs.r_npa_ig'n to
a sound stabilisation program, price ro
backs. democratic taxes and wage adj
ments. Through a united eort, labor eoul
win much without harmingthe war eort.

there isn't a shred of plausible reason,
lest it be outright aabotag of the. war,for the strike of a halt milii! coal mine _
Labor must hold John L.Lewis respon-
sible for the wa of the
evident provocations from some oi the op-
erators. n
The gorernment, through its sustodian
of mines, Hamid L. Ickes, advanced a pro-
posal that would guarantee the miners a
substantial temporary wage raise pendinglial settlement. The War Labor Board
hiid aiready provided for other improve-
ments for the miners in its decision. All
wjge changes are retroactive It was no
longer a question of whether the miners
are entitled to an improvement. It was only
a matter of bargaining over the margin lo!
dierence and HOW HUGH the improve-
ments was to he. To call a strike under
such oonditions shows a desire not to serve
the interests of the workers hut oornpiete
inditferenoe and even sabotage of the war.Livia, as the Communist Party's state-
men yesterday said in point blank words,

participation in the war, He sets himself

It is urgent that all labor leaders speak

The no-strike pledge and the entire eon-
oeption that this is Labor's war means
nothing it Lewis is permitted to deantly
carry out his treasonous program. As
Julius Emspalt, aecretary-treasurer oi the
United Electrical, Radio and Machine Work-
ers told the President in a wire. labor ex-
pects him to take "decisive action to atop
Lewis anti the tremendous n-misfit?" oi the

oau L Lewis announcement
ng off of the coal
strike is merely another truce till
June 29 once more demonstrates that
this would-be fuehrer of American
labor, who has just been fulsornely
eulogized by Hitler's Vaelbiscber
Beoimchter, will stop at nothing to
gain his ends. There can be no cc-n:=
promise with this war of nerves. Be-
fore June Z0, if no settlement of the
dierences between coal miners and
operators has been reached, the gov-
ernment must act to prevent any fur-
ther sabotage.
From the standpoint of the coun-
try and the mine workers, Lewis
second coal strike was disastrous. But
from the standpoint oi Lewis him-
self, the strike brought certain com-
pensations. It interfered with war
production. It allowed him to prove
his loyalty to the defeatists and to
those Republicans who support a
negotiated peace and the appeasement
of Hoover, Taft, Vandenberg, Lan-
don, and Ham Fish. For Lewis must
be credited with putting over the
anion-busting Smith-Connally bill in
the House. In addition, he weakened
the ght against ination. He seri-
ously delayed eorts to get on with
the war. His actions will result in the
deaths of more young Americans
than could be accounted for by a
wolf-pack of Nazi submarines or afvision of Axis troops. '
.-.1 Lewis 1... indulged in . good noiuself-righteous posruring. He has
ed of his devotion to the rank-
M iii NUV- C P43and-le miners, but his actions dur-
ing the mine truce belied his words.
He refused, with the eager collabo-
ration of the mine operators, to push
{or settlement of the miners demands
during the period of the truce.
Instead, he blocked negotiations,
turned his back on the Wu Labor
Boerds every eort to sttle the
dispute equitably, while he carefully
perfected plans to violate labor: no-
strike agreement once again, and by
so doing to endanger the security of
the labor movement. i '
His timing is worth consideration.
He ordered the second strike just as
the Smith-Connally bill reached the
House oor, and called off the strike
the rnornent the bill Wis pissed.
Thereby, Lewis advanced his plot
against both the C10 and AFL.
Thereby, he made his "contribution".
to the Hoover-Taft scheme to throw
the domestic economy into confusion,
rom which reaction hopes so res-
cue it with a negotiated peace, a
sellout to the enemy. At the time of
Munich, Daladier played to
Chamberlain. New Lewis isT!aladse' " r
to Hoover and his friends.
Though the House passed the leg-
islation Rep. Howard smith has been
trying to slip through for years, it can
still be stopped in the stnate or, if
that fails, by mobilizing proper sup-
port behind the presidential veto.
President Roosevelt and the heads of
key government agencies have ex-
pressed opposition so this war-wrecb
ing bill. __ .t

It must also be recognized that
Lewishasbeen ahletoseducealarge
number of coal miners only because
they have justied which
he has pretended to support. Apart
from the Wage question, the princi-
pal source of these grievances is the
continued failure to keep living costs
witlit hounds. At e White 1'1:-use
meeting of Labor: Victory Board,
Presidents Murray and Green stresed
that the anti-ination prograin was
being undermined by OPA Director
Prentiss Brown: vaclations and by
the concerted attack of reactionaries
in Congress, in the Republican ?arty,
and from inside the GPA itself. The

plays into the hands of Lewis and his
masters. Lewis has made much of the
high cost of living while deliberately
purring ination. He has gambled on
mashing CPA, hoping for uncon-
trolled _i.nat:ion which will debaueh
the economy. The real weapon
against Lewis is to push prices back
so the levels of September 1942..
Lewis has done his best to vsreti
and divide. His entry into the AFL
would give him another and greater
opportunity to scuttle organized ls-
bor. The President stresed this point
when he met the labor representa-
tives, and added bk wish--which is
the with of the win-the-war groups
eveiywhere-for unity between the
AFL and C10. Lewis cannot sur-vive such unity, or the resultantirlationwhichitwouldimposeon ' .

forth a rabbit. Most observers ex-iipeeled the 92'92'LB to spend manyturbulent houn tleciding Wlttthtrl
to accept the agreement or to pre- 1
'cipitate a new collision. A
Cuts Lunch Period i
' Two key provisions in the agree-;
'ment laid the basis on which the
iusiw Policy Committee lBSl nightiorde-red the coal miners to returni
zto the pits:Q The UM92V reduced the miners
customary lunch period from 30
to 15 minutes. The additional worlt-f- ing time will give the miners dailyBay equivalent to the terms of theMW contract with Illinois Oq_¬l3'-1_ tors rejected by the 92VLB. heyiwill 5;! $8.50 a clay instead of the?928.1 which was granted in the
9292~'LB decision;
1The same daily wage will betime cut and the arbitrary xing
of travel time at 45 minute!
throughout the Appalachian aren-
are the issues that may cause thesharpest controversy within the92h'LB. '
Ickes and Lewis estimated thlt
an additional 20 million tons ofbituminous and 2 million tons oi
anthracite coal would he yieldedby the additional work time. but
other observers expressed doubt
that the miners would faithfully
abide by the 15-minute luncheon
period and might interpret it for
themselves as a faoe-saving form-
ula which they were not compelled
to recognize.
Victory Debate
The agreement also created
much debate as to the extent of the
victory which Lewis has won H the
WLB grants its approval. This

worse ems to him to protect the interests
or s nation at war. -
' ordering the fourth mine strike, Joh
L. " has once more extended s helping
and to the Axis, and he did it at the yery
moment when the cables on the iiosoow
conference agreements were spelling out an
early doom for Hitler. While Senators Bey-
iiolds and Wheeler, Lewis political friends,
were mouthing their dissatisfaction because-an-U-so

i.Mine Strike 921,:92 i 5 , =lip, ' '
i
the last weapons were linocked out of Hit-ler's hands, Lewis sought to knife the home
front.
Onoe more the oountryean see who really
leads labor. At Fiiiiscieiphia, the C10 eon-
've'nti0n under President Philip Mun-ay's
ieadership, reaffirmed its unqualied no-
strike pledge at a special order of business.
The C10 fully recognizes that Hitlers doom
is near, but it also recognises that it will still
take hard ghting and sadrices to make
that possible. It warned against coin-
placency. Lewis is stabbing upon that policy
of labor, and is exploiting the grievances of
the miners to accomplish his purpose.
As we have stated many times, the miners
are iustied in their dissatisfaction with the
WLB agreement. But this cannot serve as
an excuse for the strike.
The reactionary bloc in Congress which
even at this hour is preparing to ght the
President's program for s roll-back in prices
that he outlined in his food subsidy message
Monday, is, like Lewis, responsible for the
situation; so_sre the prot-hungry employ-
ers and so is the inexible attitude of some
government oflicials and the War Labor
DA--ml 92
But by striking and playing into the hands
of lab-or's enemies, the miners are jeopardiz-
ing their own interests both as workers and
citizens. They should instead join the gen-
eral stream of labor in s campaign to win
ments. Through a united eort, labor coul

lQ EVERY patriotic miner will agree and

vie can no more tolerate the letting do-um
of coal production thsn we can tolerate let-
ting down the shipping o£_ supplies to our
ghting men. ' p _
mule-t__not hevtolerated. Coal production
must continue. A fourth general coal strike
must not be permitted.
This is the course to take irrespective of
merits or demerits of the War Labor Board:
decision. The four labor members on the
WLB; and the editorial columns of this
paper, have Ekeady expressed aiticism of
some of the provisions of the WI.-B decision
hn the proposed "contract for the soft coal
miners, as well as on its 32~cent anthracite
The President has correctly stressed some
of the good features of the decision. espe-
cislly the recognition for: the rst time of
the principle of portal-to-portal pay for
which some oompensation is granted. This
is undoubtedly a partial victory. And it is
principally dueto the vigorous voice Presi-
dent Philip Murray of the C10 raised in be-
half of the miners.
But for the miners now to take again to
the Lewis strike path is to undermine the
chances for a further adjustment in their
wage standards and at the same time to
harm the entire labor movement. Furthergnprovement for them will be possible only

While thousands of reslive, angry coal miners stayed away
from the ts in the fourth eneral strike of 1943, Lewis preparedP1 Sto gko into session here with 200 officials oi the United Mine
Worers union.They assembled in the face*o

coal if the QMW rejected

Government oilic-ials were watching
the clock. Although the President
had xed no exact deadline for ac-
ce tance oi the WLB's decision. itwill he certain he would not tol-
erlte any prolonged lihuster by
the miners leaders. Some sources
bted he would wait longer than
tfall for his answer h .
War of Nerves
In customary fashion Lewis gave
no advance hint of any recommen-
dationsorremarkshemaymakew
the union: policy comrnittee. He
was once again carrying War ofnerves to the breaking pomt. He re-mained in silent seclusion over the
week end.There was no visible craclc in
the solidarity of the miners ranksthe eight-month-old conict
reached a new climax. Once again,
without an oihcial signal. they IP-pearcd ready to invoice their
ancient nloganz "No contract, no

_ ossihle measures beingcu! ed ranged from immediatecc! tion o the UMW's checkpn<-ileges to ultimate re-seizure the mines, srosecution of any strike
leaders un er the Smith-Connolly
law and induction of miners who
refused to work. Whether an orIll of these steps would roducecoal remained to be IBl!'D._'l%1B pre-
vailing view appeared to be that
Lewis would not risk the test.
Some ocinls contended it wouldbe easier to Lgifmote a hack-to-worlrmovement ' time since the WLB
has approved an agreement that
luhstantially increases the minerstake-home-pvay-even lihlih it ialls37% cents I day short the I]-linoizgact submitted to the Board.But ers voiced donht that Lewis
and his policy committee could
halt the insnrgence promptly evenif they voted to accept the contract.
Way Out for Lewis
One out had been suggested tothe UMW chiefs by esident
Roosevelt Friday and reiterated ina weekend message from the WLB.Answering Lewis claim that the
new agreement would involve a cut
in the basic wage-rate, the Board
formally told him it would approven clouszcaf-mranteeing that nominers r ve less for n day: work

- The employers are responsible for the present situa ;
tion by their insistence that prots go above all other l
considerations. Their position dovetails perfectly with that I
of Lewis, for neither is he interested in furthering lg
duction, placing his defeatist policy above all other oon- J
aiderations. H the employers and Lewis were interested
in production they -oould have easily agreed upon a pro-
gram that would be both an incentive to more coal output
and to a corresponding increase in wages--a formula
that even the WLB would have to approve. c

responsibility; rst because of the disunity in its ranks,

in Chicago, they didn't bother
to tell reporter! that Lewis
might have been hack In the
AF1. some time before, except
for strong intervention trom the
White House. '
It can now he revealed that
the President was extremely
perturbed about the burly mine
labor chief: eort: to climb back
on the AFL bandwagon. 1n fact.
he expressed himseli to lrienda
in very blunt language about how
Ioolhnrdy it would be for the
AFL to welcome hack a man who
was in disrepute {or openly defy-
ing the Government dining the
mine dispute.
It also can be revealed that
William I-lutche-son, AFL earPen-
ter: boss. and other Lewis
friends on the executive council
had the stage all let for a apeeial
meeting of the council last Hay
to consider Lewis: application.
This was the inside reason why
John L. -inclosed a !at $60,900
check for advance dues with ltil
application. -
Just who blocked the move-
and how closely the Prelidqnt
himself was involved--ia a aeeret.
But Administration insiders re-
port that Marvin Mclntyre. the
President: aecretary. a great
friend of the railroad brother-
hoods. bad a hand in It.
Furthermore, immediately I!-
ter Lewis requested readmtaaial.
the President had separate con-
ferences with Dan Tobin, team-
eters' boss and a l.op»rung mem-
ber of the AFL executive coun-
cil, plus George Harriaoll. rail-
way clerks head, who is the moat
powerful gure in the brother-
hoods.
Immediately afterward the
move for a special executive
eouiicll meeting was abandoned '1'.-.

Fin er Points to Le s-----~, __9 NY strike is inexcusable today. vBlut
there isn't a shred of plausible reason,
lest it be outright sabotag _ of the war,for the strike of s half milléaecoal miners.
Labor must hold John L. wis respon-
sible for the wa of the
evident provocations from some of the op-
erators.
The government, through its custodian
of mines, Harold L. Ickes, advanced a pro-
posal that would guarantee the miners a
substantial temporary wage raise pending
nal settlement. The War Labor Board
hild already provided for other improve-
ments Ior the miners in its decision. Ali
wig-e changes are retroactive. It was no
longer a question of whether the miners
are entitled to an improvement. It was only
a matter of bargaining over the margin of
difference and HOW MUCH the improve-
ments was to be. To call a strike under
such conditions shows a desire not to serve
the interests of the workers but complete

It is urgent that all labor leaders speak
out and assure the President their support
for decisive action. _. '1 "
The no-strike pledge and the entire con-
ception that this is Labor's war means
nothing if Lewis is permitted to deantly
carry out his treasonous program. As
Jnlius Ernspak, secretary-treasurer of the
United Electrical, Radio and Machine Work-
ers told the President in a wire, -labor ex-
pects him to take "decisive action" to stop
