Meeting at Portage. Delegates representing UMWA 1lo- Cassandra, Beaverdale, Revloc and St. Michael held a meeting last Sunday afternoon in the Portage Local union hall, sponsored by Portage Local No. 498, the object of the gathering being to discuss pending legislation which calls for amendments to the Miners’ Certificate Act. State Senator John J. ) Haluska, of Patton, and Assemblyman i Michael C. Chervenak, of Portage at- | tended the meeting, each stating his opinion on Senate Bill 168, which calls for revision of the Certificate bill by | | elimination of the mine certifying’ koard and giving the power to the' mine inspectors. Delegates present at the gathering represented 7,000 miners of the district. | Invitations had been sent all the lo-| cals in the district. The new bill would also place the miners’ certificates in the hands of the companies by which they were employed. The expressed sentiment of the miners, of course, is | that they should be in the miners’ | possession. Reasons advanced were that they had rightfully paid for | them and that it would be difficult | to transfer to another mine if the cer- tificates were held by the company. The companies’ side was also cited by the men who claimed it offered a form of protection to them since there | certificate. | protest to the Department of Mines | were incidents where one miner had! appointed | against any action of this kind. | the certificate of another to secure em- ployment, although each certificate has , a serial number. Haluska favored the issuance of du- plicate certificates, one a metal form, which would resemble a hunting li- cense and would be retained by the miners. The Senator hit at “the hos- have received a letter of dismissal. cals of Portage, Gallitzin, Colver, Lilly, | tile administration which is fulfilling its promise to make sure a bonfire of all labor legislation.” The delegates adopted a motion call- ing for each local represented to send telegrams to the senator demanding a public hearing on the measure, which the teachers brought to bear when they demanded a public hearing on the tenure bill. The meeting also car- ried a motion asking Haluska to draw up a new bill with two amendments if the fight is lost against amending the present bill. The two amendments called for were the vesting of authori- ty to grant miners’ certificates in a miners’ board instead of inspectors and a clause whereby a new certificate could be obtained for a nominal fee. Haluska said he would make the pos- session of the certificate optional. The company could keep the certificate on- ly with the permission of the miner tc whom it was issued. Other motions carried at the meet- ing were one demanding a public hearing on the Van Allensburg relief measure and one in which it was mov- ed that a telegram be sent from the meeting to the international offices congratulating them on the firm stand they have taken on the closed shop and the penalty clause. Senate Bill 168, calling for the am- endments to the Miners’ Certificate Acl, was introduced by Senator Thom- | as of Mercer county. A total of 132,555 men have been granted certificates since the bill was passed. No certifi- cates are being issued at present, the board having been dissolved. John Castel is president and Albert Kapolka, secretary of the Portage un- ion local. legi Mof eco! on rem wOl save live T was nec ove wer stru A poli cut proj PRI Bi sitio Rela Emp ence here In cont. by tl last with Gree lead It ed o on r Cong HAS All recen Cent: Direc electe Jol dent; tary; ville, Altoo Lesli¢ Govel At cussed ting Penns ted ¢
