JAMES SCORED
AT MINE MEET
Pittsburgh — Delegates to the bien-
nial convention of District 5, United
Mine Workers of America, were told
last Wednesday employers who “still
stubbornly resist true unionism and
are America’s
worst internal enemies.”

president of District 4, the s
ded:

“Unemployment and war are the
greatest perils we face today but I
am firmly confident that, with the help
of organized labor and of all who truly
believe in and uphold democratic
principles and practices, America will
come out of this present near-chaos
with colors flying.”
Both Hynes and Patrick T. Fagan,
president of Dictrict No. 5 criticized
policies of Gov. Arthur H. James, ter-
ming them “reactionary and in the in-
terest not of the workingman but of
the National Association of Manufac-
turers and others, represented in Penn-
sylvania by Joe Grundy.”
Much of the day's business session
| was taken up with debate upon a pro-
| posal to change provisions for the elec-
tion of scale committeemen. Action was
| deferred on the question.

Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Mercer,
