JOE LODA’S CASE EXACTLY LIKE
ONE AT ZEIGLER; FARRINGTON
AND OPERATORS IN CONSPIRACY
By ALEX REID
(Secretary Progressive Miners' Committee.)
ARTICLE XVIII.
The following resolution passed at a miners’ meeting of I,ocal Union No.
2553, recites the facts of one of the latest outrages of the Farrington ma
chine, and shows an example of the treacherous moves of the fakers in the
miners' union.
It is such incidents as this that has brought about the Zelgler situation,
and no one knowing the facts will be surprised to see a similar condition to
the Zeigler situation break out at any time with Farrington the chief victim
of his own treachery.
The miners in the Springfield ter
ritory are bitter and ready to go to
the mat with Farington and his worm,
Walker. The resolution Is as follows:
Springfield, 111., Aug. 9, 1925.
To the Officers end Members of All
Local Unions, United Mine Workers
of America, in a regular Meeting of
Local No. 2553, Greeting:
“WHEREAS: —A desperate attempt
is now being made by the Peabody
Coal Company, assisted by the official
dom of the United Mine Workers of
America, District No, 12, to take from
the membership of Local Union No.
2553, the checkweighman they have
elected to serve them, a right given
them under the Joint contract and the
state laws of Illinois, and all for the
purpose of taking from the member
ship a man who has ever been watch
ful for the interests of the miners of
Local Union No. 2553, and who in the
performance of his duties as check
weighman did discover the company
weighman attempting to steal from
the miners employed at Peabody No.
6, and as a result of his watchfulness
in detecting this scoundrel the Mine
Workers’ officials did agree that .Too
Loda was to be deposed and that, an
other must take his place, another
presumably more suitable to the coal
company and less watchful for the in
terests of the rank and file, and
A Conspiracy.
“WHEREAS: We know of no more
desperate frame-up than was hatched
against Joe Loda, for example, Joe
Loda was charged with using abus
ive language against the company
weighman whom he caught red-hand
ed in the act of stealing from the
miners, Joe Loda denied the charges
and the company presented two com
pany sucks, the company top-boss,
who strange to relate happened to be
present when the stealing was at
tempted, and the company weighman,
both of whom testified as the company
directed; Joe Loda a United Mine
Worker and the check-puller a United
Mine Worker denied the company's
accusations, but regardless to that in
a very few hours after Joker Young
and Dan Clark had handled this case
it was turned over to a commission
who were ready waiting for it and Joe
Loda was deposed by actions of this
commission.
“We cannot recall where such hasty
action has ever happened in this board
member district in unloading Joe Loda,
especially when other cases of long
standing prior to the Loda case had
never been handled and thus this hasty
action in getlng Loda's case into the
hands of a commission within a few
hours after the hoard member had
handled It, and the commission agree
ing to the removal of Loda within a
few hours after receiving this case,
lends color to the accusation of a
frame-up in Loda’s case, and
Violation of AgeemenL
"WHEREAS: After the decision
was rendered to depose Joe Loda as
check-weighman, the mine superin
tendent, Mr. McMurdo, did make
an agreement with the mine pres
ident and mine committee, to the
effect that Joe Loda could remain on
the tipple until such time as the min
ers could arrange for a meeting, and
thus by his making of that agreement
to allow Loda to continue at work, he
violated and abrogated the agreement
that was reached by the commission
that deposed Joe Loda and the miners
successfully * turned the tables on
framer-up McMnrdo and defeated him
at his own game. But McMurdo who
was hastily called up over the tele
phone and told of the blunder he had
made and he hastily attempted to
break his agreement that he had
made, but to no avail, as the mine
workers, the other party to the agree
ment, refused to break the agreement
and without the miners' consent the
agreement could not be broken, so
MaMmtAo Instead of using the court*
of the miners and operators to get
a reopening of the agreement that he
had made with the miners, ignored
and violated the state agreement and
courts set up by It and entered into
the civil courts of the county for re
dress and had Loda removed by a
deputy sheriff from the tipple. What
do you suppose would have happened
to the miners had they taken that
procedure?
"And will McMurdo be penalized for
shuting down the mine to enforce
something contrary to the Joint agree
ment as it provided for in article 20
section (d) joint agreement which
reads as follows: Any operator who
shall lock out all or any material part
of his employes In order to enforce
some condition In violation of this
agrement shall be fined one dollar
($1.00) per member affected for each
day or part of a day the mine is thus
thrown idle,
Farington Betrayal Clear.
"McMurdo did call the officers of
the local union to his office and in
formed them the mine would not re
sume operation until they had elected
a new check-weighmhn when he
knows that the joint agreement de
clares that "in cases the men must
continue at work pending a final set
tlement, and McMurdo prevents this
from being done by shutting down the
mine and going into the civil courts
of the county. And in view of all
these gross violations of the contract
Frank Farrington has taken the side
of the operators and declared in a
telegram that Loda must be deposed
and a new check-weighman elected, in
face of the fact that he informed Joe
Loda and others that he would stand
behind Loda and if McMurdo had en
tered into an agreement with the mine
commitee to allow Loda to remain on
the tipple after the decision to re--
move him had been made, then he
would see that Loda remained on the
tipple for the rest of the time.
"We feel that all the above informa
tion should be printed and sent to the
various local unions to let the rank
and file know what is going on ®nd
to enlist their support against those
who are destroying the purposes of
our union and making it a useless
weapon for their emancipation, there
fore be it
For Publicity of Education.
"RESOLVED That copies of this
resolution be sent to all local unions
and printed in every daily and weekly
paper that it can be gotten so that the
raDk and file may know what is going
on, for after all education is the thing
that will free the workers and destroy
the tyrants that are seeking to have
us return to nonunion wages and con
ditions.”

NON-UNION COAL MINE MAKES
1J26 PER CENT PROFIT; BUT
IT IS NOT THE ONLY COMPANY
ByLELANDOLDS
(Federated Press Industrial Editor)
Wago cuts of 6 per cent to 10 per cent handed employes of the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Co. after helping the company make record profits, illustrate
the difference between workers and owners in the modern industrial system.
The stockholders were assured at the same time that their customary divi
dends had been earned more than twice over. .
Goodyear explained the wage reductions by a possible increase in crude
rubber prices. But this is challenged by the fact that the company set aside
a $3,000,000 special raw-material re
serve to meet the increase if it comes
and besides Goodyear owns rubber
plantations in Sumatra. Increases in
the price of raw rubber when reflected
in the price of finished products tend
to increase the corporation’s profits.
Goodyear’s profit for the 6 months
ended June 30 amounted to $11,394,-
287, an Increase of 68 per cent over
the same period in 1924.' After pay

MINER WHO TRIED
TO EXPOSE GRAFT
OF BOSSES FIRED
Farrington and Owners
in Cahoots
By E. B. HEWLETT.
WEST FRANKFORT, ILL., August,
17—Because the Farrington machine
is in alliance with the coal companies
against, the miners, William Schroeder
has been discharged from the Orient
mine No. 2 under a faked up charge
of "abusing the boss,’’ one Luther
Jones, a brother-in-law of Rodenbush,
a mine company official.
The connection between Rodenbush
an<j SchToeder’s discharge can be
traced as follows;
Gyped Out of Pay.
The West mine at West Frankfort,
Illinois, shut down the first of Jan
uary 1.924, failing to pay their miners
for the last two pay days. Schroeder
was among the members of the West
Mine Local, but lacking work, went
to Chicago and was employed there
until October 1924.
Receiveing a letter from a friend,
saying that the bosses of Orien mine
No. 2 were selling jobs at prices
of from SBO to SIOO, he at first couldn’t
believe it But he went to West
Frankfort and found it was true.
To Expose Job Selling.
Deciding that he should expose the
job selling, but knowing he would
never get the money back, he went
to the Sub-District officials. Fox and
Cobb, and asked them if they kne’w
that Mine Manager Pollock and Mine
Superintendent Rodenbush were sell
ing jobs.
“Yes,” said Fox and Cobb, “but we
have no proof.”
Schroeder told them that he would
get the proof if the Sub-District would
furnish the money to buy the jobs.
Being badly in need of a showing to
make for the approaching election.
Fox and Cobb agreed and with the
money furnished, Schroeder and his
buddy bought Jobs and went to work
the same day.
Fakers Thirst For Bosses' Gore—
Before Eelection
But the bosses. Pollock and Roden
bush, were too slick to let themselves
be caught handling the money. They
had agents. One of these agents was
arrested and fined S2OO for having
an employment office without a license
Schroeder was the complainant
The ditrict election, too, was ap
proaching, and Farrignton took the
case out of the hands of the Sob-
District to make propaganda for him
self. Witnesses were called. Schroe
der getting eleven miners who bought
their jobs to testify at the hearing,
before the Sub-District officers, that
they had bought their jobs.
I brought up the last witness, and
after he made his confession, Schroe
der and I went our separate ways
home. But Fox at once went to
j Schroeder’s house and quizzed him.
j He wanted to know if Schroeder is
! a member of the "red party” or a
subscriber to the t>AILY WORKER,
and what did Hewlett know of the
job selling case, did Schroeder know
Hewlett was “leader of the red party
in West Frankfort,” etc.
Schroeder who merely wanted to see
the injustice righted, disclaimed all
knowledge of "red” parties and stated
that he was a plain miner wishing to
see fair dealing.
O, But After The Election!
The election came and passed. Far
rington lost all his burning passion
for investigation and prosecution of
the job selling mine manager and su
perintendent.- In fact he held a confer
ence with Ricemiller, President of the
Operators’ Association, and both
agreed that even if a few foolish min
ers paid for their jobs, that did not
prove that Manager Pollock and Super
intendent Rodenbush had sold them.
Farrington and the operators let the
case be lost.
But every miner knows that Pol
lock and Rodenbush were guilty, and
after Farrington was safely elected,
the mine owners were waiting a
chance to get even with Schroeder.
That Luther Jones, a brother-in-law
of Rodenbush, whom Schroeder ac
cused, is the one caused Schroeder's
dicharge is evidence that Farring
ton. the bosses, and Lon Fox and
Cobb, are all involved in the job sell
ing and all deserve everythig the
miners can give them —of unpleasant
ness.

"FOREST FIRES? LET ’EM BURN,”
SAID BILL, AS HE SNORTS OVER
SKID ROAD OFFER OF UNCLE SAM
(By W. J. McVEY—Worker Correspondent)
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 17. —Forest fires aro raging in Montana, Idaho,
Oregon and eastern Washington.
Wage slaves are in demand to go out in the mountains and risk their
lives fighting fires for 30 cents per hour to save the timber for the lumber
barons, that they may pay the slaves starvation wages In order to pile up
huge profits for the lumber trust.
An Unfair Contract
Uncle Sam not only pays these fire-fighters 30 cents per hour for this
dangerous work, but he ties them-*
with a contract, binding them to stick
to the job 20 days, if needed that long.
In case a slave quits before the ex
piration of the 20 days contract he Is
charged with board, and the contract
does not specify what, price he must
pay for board.
"Economy Cal” at Work.
So, if a fighter should quit before
the 20 day limit Uncle Sam reserves
the privilege of charging him board
and transportation which may bring
the 20 cent slave out in the hole.
In the meantime "Economy Cal” is
knocking down SIOO,OOO per year being
a jumping-jack for Wall Street.
A haze of smoke hangs over Spo
kane, the smell of burning vegetation
is in the air; in the meantime a 20
day contract, and an offer of 30 cents
per, is stuck under the down-and-outs
nose on "the skid-way” to go out and
risk his life fighting forest fires.
What Bill Had To Say.
Yesterday I said to one of McGold
rick’s $3.40 wage-slaves: iMcGoNrick
the high-muck-a-muck of the ”4 L's”
and the chamber of commerce); “Bill,
you can get a job fighting fires.”
He replied: “Not me. I tried that
once. If they'd put old timers on the
job to boss the men I would not mind
tt, but they put bench legged, white
collared know-nothings over men out
in the woods who do not know how
to protect the mens' lives; a man is
liable to burn to death under these
incompentents. And they look upon
an old time timber man or lumber
jack with contempt.
Snobs Risk Men's Lives.
“I remember one time we were
fighting fire over in Montana, under
one of these incompetents with a pull,
and I almost lost my life. He kept
a bunch of men In one place till we
were surrounded with fire and we
had a hard time making our escape.
“The boss would not ask the old
time woodsmen anythng. He seemed
to look upon us with scorn and con
tempt.
Upstart Boss Riles The Crew.
“He had us carrying water 4ip a
high hill with an incline of about 30
degrees, when there was a big spring
on top of the mountain that was the
head of running- creek where we
could havje carried water down hill
instead of up.
“This upstart of a boss from the
city knew nothing of the spring and
we could not. tell him because he
would not ask us and because he
treated us men, who had spent the
best part of our lives in the moun
tains, with contempt.
Forest Fires.
"We carried the water up that steep
mountain side rather than tell such
a boss where the big spring was on
top of the mountain, while if he had
treated us like men, instead of dumb
animals, we would gladly have given
him any information in our posses
sion.”
The Short Grass Season.
“No” be continued. “I will stay with
McGoldrick about another month for
$3.40 per, then the grass will be short
and scarce, then they will lay me
off. They always lay us off to cut
grass when the grass is short.”
And Bill, the one-time I. W. W.
picked up his lunch pail and walked
off a mile or more to McGoldrlcks
lumber mill, to earn dividends for the
lumber barons.
Why Bill, the Ex-Wob, Walked.
He walked because six cents car
fare was too much to pay when a
man had to support a family on three
fourty per.
on common is at an annual rate of
about 600 per cent. Where is the ex
cuse for reducing the wages of the
company’s productive workers?
U. S. Steel profits for the second
quarter of 1925 were a surprise even
to Wall Street which figured that de
clining operations would produce
some decline in the companys earn
ings. But Judge Gary’s report showed
no such thing. Evidently the steel
trust has found the secret of main
taining steady profitts even when
wages sag.
Net earnings for the three months
amounted to $40,624,221 bringing the
total for the first half of the year to
$80,607,213. The Wail Street Journal
points out that profits in June at 65
per cent capacity were fully as large
as those in April at 82 per cent ca
pacity.
Earnings Jor the second quarter
after paying Interest and preferred
dividends meant $3.06 a share for com
mon stockholders. For the six months
the rate was approximately 6 per cent
or at an annual rate of 12 per cent on
stock which was originally all water.
1326 Per Cent Profit on Coal.
Island Creek Coal Co., prince of non
union coal profiteers, reports record
production for the first six months of
the year with profits equal to $6.63 a
share on the 118,801 shares of com
mon stock. As the stock has an orig
inal par value of $1 a share this means
a 663 per cent profit for the six
months or at an anuai rate of 1826
per cent. Not quite up to past per
formance, but still a satisfactory rec
ord for the worst coal year in a quar
ter of a century.
DISTRICT FIVE
GOING TO RUIN
UNDERP. FAGAN
Disruption the Rule,
Fagan Aids Owners
By TOM RAY. "
PITTSBURGH. Pa., Aug. 17.—That
conditions are going from bad to
worse in District 6, United Mine
Workers of America does not in the
least disturb the fakers. While the
last few mines operating are gradually
closing down they continue to flirt
with the Pittsburgh chamber of com
merce.
Local Union 280, located at New
Eagle, Pa., on the Monongahela val
ley, one of the National mines, No. 4.
extended an invitation to the mem
bers ordered expelled to address the
membership on conditions of the dis
trict regarding the expulsions and the
methods used relative thereto by the
district executive board.
Fagan Disrupts Meeting.
The meeting was called to order
by the president with approximately
200 members present, the proceeding's
went along smoothly until correspend
ence was read, then. Pat Fagan rose
and took the position that he as presi
dent of District 5. U. M. W. of A., re
fused to participate in a local union
meeting where non-bona fide men
were in attendance, naming Jas. Oates
and Tom Ray, whom he declared were
expelled, while he promised to debate
the question relative to expulsions
after the proceedings had been dis
posed of regularly.
Part of the proceedings of this
meeting by previous action contained
a program of demands, (1) unemploy
ment and the measures necessary
for relief; (2) proposition for active
fight against the coal operators estab
lishing the 1917 scale; (3) immediate
settlement of all grievances obtaining
at the mines that are working, snch
as the loading of very large cars, also
the pushing of large cars, the viola
tion of the "dead work” scale rates,
also the reduction in the outside scale
rates, etc.; (4) active campaign of re-
[ l,ef for the miners’ families where the
| dependents were imprisoned and a
campaign for immediate release; (5)
abolition of the expulsion policy by
the district executive board with rein
statement of expelled members.
Threatens the Charter.
This program was opposed by the
yellow traitor, Fagan, who occupied
ihree hours attacking the Communists
and progressives intimidating the lo
cal union membership by stating that
he would be compelled by law to re
voke the charter of local unions If
they would permit Ray or Oates to
said meeting or have anything to do
with the program proposed. How
ever, Fagan did not have all of his
own way. Wm. Fullerton replied by 1

expounding the Communist position
in such a manner that he is without
a doubt a credit to the labor move
ment.
Later, came my turn outside after
adjournment of said meeting to speak
with Oates to the members who pos
sessed the courage to remain to hear
our side of the question. Fagan stat- !
lng that our program may have a I
paragraph containing the acceptance j
of the 1917 scale, altho he knew bet- j
ter.
He knows that bis own methods
will soon establish the 1917 scale If j
he gets away. By his method our union
in going out of existence by the slow
process of starvation.
I hope that the day is not far dis
tant when the membership of the !
United Mine Workers will rise in their
might in opposition to the Lewis pol
icies of selling us out to the operators
as he done in 1919, 1922, 1924 where
200,000 miners were removed out of
the coal industry.
Os Course They Didn’t!
I wonder if Lewis and his gang of
absolute hypocrites thought that the
operators would remove non-union
men. And even at that the same gang
is responsible for there being a condi
tion as a non-union territory.
Betrayal after betrayal has been the
lot that befell the miners and any
member that raises a voice against
their activities is to be rewarded with
expulsion. Howat in District 14, Mc-
Gaughlin, District 26. Myerscough,
District 5, Thompson, Watt and Perry
in District 12.
Farrington the arch traitor and
hypocrite, who allied with John L.
Lewis after accusing him of accepting
a bribe of $750,000 from the Wall
Street bankers now does the dirty
work in District 12.
Agreement Gone to Smash.
At »ome mines in District 5 there
are a few miners working under the
pretense that they are doing neces
sary work when the truth of the mat
ter is that they are only helping the.
coal barons to break our union. This
exists in Local Union No. 3365, Mc-
Donald, Pa. Local Union 1982, Oak
dale, Pa. Others working around the
mines for rates above the regular
scale rates to the amount of SB.OO per
day, but this is credited on account
as payment for rent.
These conditions did exist in local
Unions Nos. 2012, 1973 but have been
stopped recently. There are other
conditions where outside labor is be
ing permitted for $5.00 per day, and
others where there are three different
prices on the same jobs.
Proud to be With Militants.
Fagan in his attacks made several
statements that the progressives were
members of the Foster-Merrick gang.
Weil, we admit that we are and very
proud of being with the militants and
for ail of the money in the world,
along with sliver spoons and the ban
quets. dining and wining with the
bosses, where we often find the Lew
ises, B. & O. Bills, Greens and Mur
rays, including the whole bloody lot,
we would not change places with you.
Instead, we will fight you until we
are successful. When we have done
tiiat we know that someone else will
take our places and complete the Job.

HEADS BETRAY
HOTEL WORKERS
■ <t «*r
Raise in Salary Only
Convention Action
By ADAMSON
(Worker Correspondent)
MONTREAL. Canada. Axiguat 16—
The Hotel Workers’ International con
vention In session at Montreal Is
lauded as evidence of prosperity by
the Montreal Btar, which makes men
tion of the fine clothe* and diamonds
worn by the delegatee, in glaring
n-ru mea on -qr front psje of tne Is
sue of August 10.
To look at that body of fat aeMed
;nen one would not think they
s P posed to represent the poorest paid,
poorest organized industry In this
country.
These victims of the speed trjx. had
air, had food, are a different appear
ng people to those referred to by the
Star, the majority of them are perpet
ual office holders who have nothing In
common with the worker on. the job
shorn they are supposed to repre
sent. L-i
The convention is a matter‘of for
mality, the delegates are hand picked
and simply go for the trip and to
serve the machine. >1
In 1923 the convention was held In
Chicago. (Morrison. Hotel). One of
the worst slave pens in the country,
but is labeled as union thruont and
is O. K.'d locally end by the Interna
tional fakers who allow the Morrison
Hotel to advertise and cater to labor
conventions as a onion house, which
Is far from the truth. v'.
At the Chicago convention the pTea
was made that if they be allowed to
raise the per capita taw from 20a to
25c. that the international would place
organizers in this field and make an
effort to organise this city, that has
been two years now. But we have not
seen an International organiser in
this city yet although the per capita
was raised. And this time wfth an
other convention in session we see
the official journal fall of resolutions
which propose to raise the per capita
tax to 40c for the purpose of raising
the international ofltoars’ salaries.
They do not erven see fit to promise
anything to the workers this time,
the workers in the hotel industry are
to be pitied. As many of them are la
baring under the thought of someday
being a manager or proprietor. After
a few year* of such man killing work
they find themselves broken in health
and not able to do the work any long
er. They are let out without any ex
cuse, and another man younger and
stronger put In his place. The work
er in this industry seldom comes in
contact with workers' literature.
He only sees the papers his boss
reads and comes to believe that their
interests are the same.
The hotel workers are beginning to
read the DAILY WORKER and they
find that it supports them in. their
struggles.
Silk Worker* Settle More Milts.
PATERSON, N. J., Aug. 17.—Four
