OI-IN L Lewis announcement
ng o of the coal
eerie is merely another truce till
lune 20 once more demonstrates that
this would-he fuehrer of American
labor, who has just been fulaomely
eulogiaed hy Hitler: Voelrcker
Beobochter, will op at nothing to
gain his ends. There can he no oom-
promise with this war of nerves. Be-
fore ]u.ne 20, if no settlement of the
differences between coal miners and
operators has been reached, the gov-
emtnent most act to prevent any tur-
ther sabotage.
From the standpoint of the coun-
try and the mine workers, Lewis
lecond coal mike was disastrous. But
Errsm the mndpr.-i.':t oi l...e92.-zit hi":-
self, the strike brought certain com-
" pensations. It interfered with war
production. It allowed him to prove
his loyalty to the deieatists and to
Reoohlieans -who sq.-port a
negotiated peace and the appeasement
of Hoover, Taft, Vandenberg, Lan-
don, and Ham Fish. For Lewis must
he credited with putting over the
union-1% ' g 5mit.h-92.onnan" y hill in
the House. In addition, he weakened
the ght against ination. He seri-
ously delayed eorts to get on with

ing the mine truce helied his words.
He refused, with the eager collabo-
ration of the mine operltan, to push
§ot settlement of the miners demands '
during the period of the truce.
Instead, he blocked negotiations,
turned his hack on the War Labor
Board: every eort to sett1e_ the
dispute equitably, whe he carefully
perfected plans to violate laoors no-
au-iie agreement once again, and by
lo doing to endanger the security of
the labor movement. ' '
His timing is worth consideration.
He ordered the lecond ttrike just as
the Smith-Connally hill reached the
House oor, and called o the strike
the moment the hill was passed.
"Thereby, Lewis advanced his plot
against both the CIO and Al-"L.
Thereby, he made his "contribution".

Zof Americans hath at home and in the armed

a situationeonld happen in the midst of war.
n The miners are mistakenly following Lewis
in this disastrous strike because they h
so far, seen no other leadership in their

that there are ways other than atrilres
through Qllil. Qey can win their demands.

The leaders oi the American Tlederatmn
of Labor, on the other hand, are still silent ~
on the mine strike. This strengthens the
s pinion that the AF'L'a convention at Bos-
ton delayed readmission of Lewis because it
did not want to have the embarrassing strike
on its hands. Thus echemera may rest 0- _

L. ' es once more extended a h in:
and to the Axis, and he did it at the yery

early doom for Hitler. While Senators Bey-

' Once more the country 'c-sn see who really
leads labor. At ?i1i1adelphis, the GIG con-
vention under President Philip Murray's
leadership, reairmed its unqualied no-
strike pledge at a special order of business.
The Q10 iuhy recognizes that Hitler's doom
is near, but it also recognises that it will still
take hard fighting and 'saEoes to make
that possible. It warned against coin-

As we have stated many ti-mes, the miners
are justied in their dissatisfaction with the
eWLB 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

there isn't a shred of plausible reason,
lest it be outright ssbotsg of the. war,
e strike of a half mill coal miners. ior th Q' 1-abor must hold John L. wis respon-
sible for the wa of the
evident provoeations from some of the op-
erators. .
The government, through its custodian
of mines, Harold L. Ickes, advanced a pro-
possl that would guarantee the miners a
substantial temporary wage raise pending
nal settlement. The War Labor Board
hild already provided for other improve-
ments for the miners in its decision. All
wigs 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 marxin of
dierenee and HOW HUGH the improve-
ments was to he. To call a strike under
such conditions shows a desire not to serve
the interests of the workers but eomplete
indierenee and even sabotage of the war.Lewis, as the Communist Party's state-
snen yesterday said in point blank words,
. is trying to assume veto power over U.S.pll'£Lcipl.tiOn in the war. He sets himself
above the labor movement and above the
government. The miner! must choose be-
iween their eountry and John L. Lewis.i

101-ul L. Lzwts announcement
a LS ng o of the coal
strike is merely another truce till
Iune 20 once more demonstrates that
this would-be fuehrer of American
labor, who has just been fulsomely
eulogized by Hitlers Voelkiscber
Beobeehter, will stop at nothing to
gain his ends. There can be no corn-
promise with this war of nerves. Be-
fore June 20, if no settlement of the
dierences between coal miners Ind
operators has been reached, the gov-
ernment must act to prevent itny fur-
ther sabotage.
From the standpoint of the coun-
try and the mine workers, Lewis
second coal strike was disastrous. But
rotn the standpoint of Lewis him-
self, the stnlte brought certain com-
pensations. It interfered with war
production. It allowed him to prove
his loyalty to the defeatiits and to
those Republicans who support a
negotiated peace and the appeasement
of Hoover, Taft, Vandenherg, Lan-
don, and l-lam Fish. For Lewis must
be credited with putting over the
union-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 avision of Axis troops.J Lewis has indulged in 1 good dealLfhself-righteous posturing. He has
ed of his devotion to the rank-
siuov-~14?and-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
for settlement of the miners demands
during the period of the mice.
Instead, he blocked negotiations,
turned his back on the War Labor
Boards every eort to settle 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. L '
His timing is worth consideration.
He ordered the second stre just as
the Smith-Connally bill reached the
House oor, and called of the strike
the moment the bill was passed.
Thereby, Lewis advanced his plot
against both the CIO and AFL.
Thereby, he made his "contribution".
to the Hoover-Taft scheme to throw
the domestic economy into confuon,
from which reaction hopes to res-
cue it with a negotiated peace, a
sellout to the enemy. At the time of
Munich, Dal.-tdier played to
Chamberlain. Now Lewis is'Da1adier
to Hoover and his friends.
Though the House payed the leg-
islation Rep. Howard Smith has been
trying to slip through for years, it can
still be stopped in the Senate 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 to this war-wrecb
ing bill. _ -

It must also he reoogniud that
Levvishasbeenabletoseduoealarge
number of coal miners only because
they have justied grievances which
be has pretended to support. Apart
from the wage question, the
pal source of these grievances is the
continued failure to keep living costs
within bounds. At the White House
meeting of Labor: Victory Board,
Presidents Murray and Green stressed
that the anti-ination prograin was
being undermined by CPA Director
Prentiss Browns vaeillations and by
the concerted attack of reactionaries
in Congress, in the Republican Party,
and from inside the OPA itself. The
refusal so far to grant subsidia to
make possible the roll-back of prices
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
smashing OPA, hoping for uncon-
trolled instion which will debaueh
the economy. The real weapon
I-gait?-it Lewis is to push prices back
to the levels of September 1942.
Lewis has done his best to wreck
and divide. His entry into the AFL
would give him another and greater
opportunity to scuttle organized la-
bor. The President stressed this point
when be met the labor representa-
tives, and added his wish-which is
the with of the win-the-war groups
everywhere-for unity between the
AF L and CIO. Lewis cannot sur-

The miners are mistskenly follovving Items
in this disastrous strike because they n

that there are ways other than strikes

eourse open to him to protect the interests
of s. nation st war. -
ordering the fourth mine strike, Joh
L. " has once more extended s helping
and to the Axis, and he did it at the Very
moment when the cables on the Moscow
oonference agreements were spelling out an
early doom for Hitler. While Senators Rey-
holds and Wheeler, Lewis political friends,
were mouthing their dissatisfaction because
the last weapons were linocked out of Hit»-
Once more the country 'can see who really
leads labor. At Philadelphia, the C10 eon-
vention under President Philip Murreys
ieadership, reairmed its unqualied no-
strike pledge at a special order of business.
The C10 fully recognizes that Hitlers doom
is near, but it also recogn_ir.es that it will still
take hard ghting and sacrices to make
that possible. It warned against oom-
plscency. Lewis is scabbing upon that policy
of labor, and is exploiting the grrievhnces of
the miners to sooomplish his purpose.
As we have stated many times, the miners
are justied in their dissatisfaction with the
WLB agreement. But this cannot serve aslers hands, Lewis sought to knife the home
front.
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 otcisls and the War Lsbor
Board.
But by striking and playing into the hands
of 1abor's enemies, the miners are jeopardis-
tng their own interests both ss workers and
citizens. They should instead join the gen-
eral stream of labor in s. campaign to winan excuse for the strike.

EVERY pstriotic miner will agree and
support the President's assertion that
we can no more tolerate the letting down
of coal production than we can tolerate let-
ting down the shipping of_ supplies to our
ghting men. ' _ _A Eoal ls Ammlunitlonlizg
Qisis means that the policies of John I.-.92is sabotaging the prosecution oi the 3'
1war must not be tolerated. Coal production
must continue. A fourth general cosl strike
must not he permitted.
This is the course to take irrespective ofmerits or demerits of the War Labor Boa:-dig 3
Tdecision. The four labor members on the
WLB; and the editorial columns of this
paper, have II;-eady expressed criticism of
some of the provisions of the IWLB decision
do the proposed contract for the soft coal
miners, as well as on its 32-cent anthracite
raise. M .
The President has correctly stressed some
of the good features of the decision, espe-
cislly the recognition re; the em time oi
the principle of portal~to-portal pay for
which some compensation is granted. This
is undoubtedly s partial victory. And it is
principally due-to the vigorous voice Presi-
hslf of the miners.
But for the miners now to take again to
the Lewis strike path is to undermine the
chances for s further adjustment in their
wage standards and at the same time to
harm the entire labor movement. Furthernprovement for them will be possible only

gressional bloc that is scqttling sound stabi-
lization; against the prots-rst crowd and

WHEN MEMBERS of the AIL

re-entry into the AFL this week
in Chicago, they didn't bother
to tell reporters that Lewis
might have been hack in the
AFL aome time before. except
for 8t[Dng intervention from the
White House.
It can now be revealed that
the President was extremely
perturbed oh-out the burly mine
labor chief s eorta to climb hack
on the AFL bandwagon. In fact,
be expressed himself to friend:
in very blunt language about how
iooihardy it would be for the
AFL to welcome back a man who
was in disrepute for openly dety-
tng the Government during the
nine dispute
It also can herevealed that
William Hutcheson. AFL carpeo~
tor: boss, and other Lewia
friends on the etectttive Council
had the stage all set for i special
meeting of the council last May
to consider Lewis: application.
Thl; woe the inside reason why
John L. inclosed a tat $60,900
the-ck for advance dues with ht:
application. -
Just who blocked the move-
and how closely the Preaideut
himself was involved-1: a let!!!-.
But Administration insiders re-
port that Marvin lilclntyre, the
President! eecnet-eryi e gee!
friend of the railroad brotheh
hoods. had a hand lo IL
Furthermore. immediately ab
ter Lewis requested readmiaaton.
the President l-tad separate con-
ferences with Dan Tobin. team-
tiers boss and a top-rung men-»
her of the AFL executive coun-
cil, plus George Harrison. rail-
way clerks head, who is the molt
powerful gure in the brother-
hood;
immediately aflenard the
move for a special executive

Finger Points to Lexfls ---_ e. _ _.§92NY strike is inexcusable today. But
there isnt s shred of plausible reason,
lest it be outright sabotag _ of the war,for the strike of a half millgecoal miners.
nabs; must hold John L. wis respon-
sible for the wa oi the
evident pI'0VOCItiOl'll 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
hlld already provided for other improve-
ments for the miners in its decision. All
wage changes are retroactive. It was no
longer I. 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
indifference and even sabotage of the war.Liwis, as the Communist Party's state-
men yesterday said in point blank words,
is "rying to assume veto power over U.S.participation in the war. He sets himself
above the labor movement and above thegovernment. The miners must choose be-
tween their country "and John L. Lewis. p

It is urgent that all labor leaders speak
out and assure the President their support
for decisive action. _. Q v
Thé'no-strike pledge and the entire eon-
eeption that this is Labor's war means
nothing if Lewis ls permitted to deantly
carry out his treasonous program. As
Julius Emspak, 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
Lewis and the "tremendous majority" of the
trade union movement _wiii back him.
Moreorer, Mr. Emspak sees the issues
as far beyond those directly aecting the
mine dispute. '
We,regsrd a shutdown on the right of
Lewis to organize disruption of the war
ellort as something that must some re-
gardless of the particular settlement of the
dispute. .. .
, Of one thing we are certain. Neither
Lewis nor that small group of powe ul
operators," as Ickes called them, have the
slightest interest in the country's sa ty.
The President is duty bound to act in-
sure that our war effort does not falter.
all loyal Americans will be behind him
