Lewis’ Kin Blamedfor Union Rift Illinois Miners’ Paper Charges Leader Sought Aid for Brother. By United Press SPRINGFIELD, 111., Sept. 27.—A charge that John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, is seeking to oust executives of the Illinois Miners’ union because they refused to obey the command of Lewis to call on Governor Emerson and seek retention of his brother, A. D. Lewis, as director of. the department of mines and minerals, was made in the Illinois Miner, organ of the state union, here today. The editorial charge was prompted by a letter from the Peoria local union protesting a recent editorial in the Miner to the effect that the Illinois miner was “getting tired, tired” of the bickering with Lewis. The Peoria letter, which was signed by Martin Klarich Jr., president, and L. R. Fischer, recording secretary, protested against the editorial, declaring modification of the wage contract in Illinois was “a disgrace.” It declared it was in hearty accord with Colonel Samuel Pascoe of Kentucky who attacked the modification in a speech recently at Hanna City. “The reason why the officials of District 12 declined to crusade for the meal ticket of Denny is because they felt a man who aided and abetted and participated in the looting of his own Panama local of the United Mine Workers was not the persons to be intrusted with the safeguarding of the health, limbs and lives of our members,” the writer says. The editorial attacks of Pascoe for ‘‘knocking the agreement” in Illinois stating that “he views with alarm our wage scale of $6.10 a day but fails to point with pride to a single instance where he and his kind succeeded In securing a better wage than $6.10 per day.” It points cut that Ohio and Kansas miners operate under a $5 a day wage scale, both of which it said were approved by Lewis.
