‘RELEASE SAGCO AND VANZETTT, MINERS DEMAND Ohio Valley Workers Hold Protest Meeting TILTONVILLE, Ohio, March 6.—A mass meeting here of workers of the Ohio valley, mostly miners, unanim- ously adopted a resolution demanding the release of Nicola Sacco and Bar- tolomeo Vanzetti from the Massachu- setts bastile where they are held on framed up charges of murdering a paymaster. Tow English and two Hungarian speakers gave the history of the frame up of the two labor leaders. Daniel Spehar acted as chairman. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Workers (Communist) Party. The resolution states: “TO THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS: “We, the workers of Ohio Valley, assembled at a mass meeting held in Tiltonville, on Sunday, March 1, 1926, hereby register our protest against the attempt to railroad to the electric chair, Sacco and Vanzetti, two labor leaders, who have been convicted on framed up charges, because of their activity in the labor movement. “We demand that these men be giv- en a new trial, where they will have a chance to prove their innocence. “We insist that the frame-up of men in the working class movement must stop. i “We call upon all workers to join us in this protest, so that these two men may be returned to their fam- ilies. : “(Signed) Mike Buksa, Yorkville, O. “Felix Cramontich, Dillon. “Pete Delf, Connorville.” ENTERTAINMENT AND DANCE Given by The North-West English Branch, W.

WORLD REPUBLIC UNIVERSITY wants organizer for Industrial Fraternal order, on Co- 160 N. LA SALLE ST. PARADISE FOR WEST VIRGINIA SCAB MINES NO COAL DIGGERS AS STRIKING MINER PROVES Only 44 cents a day per person to provide food and clothing for a miner's family and an inevitable deficit at that, is promised by the 1917 scale forced upon coal diggers in the nonunion mines of West Virginia, according to H. A. Woodrum, a striking miner of Longacre, West Va. Woodrum sets 10 tons as a fair average day’s loading, At the 1917 rate of 44 cents this would give the miner $1,377.20 if he gets 118 working days. But there were only 227 working days in 1923 which would mean $998.80 for the year. The expenses the average miner would have to meet are given from Woodrum’s own expenses for the year: Rent (company house). $120.00 Gas bill ... 34.60 Blectric lights 10.66 Doctor bill ($2 per month) 24.00 Hospital ($1 a month) 12.00 Burial fund ..... 12.00 Carbide for lamps eno 6.81 Powder (at $2.25 a keg)... 36.63 Four pick handles... 1.40 Four boxes squids... 80 One coal shovel.............- 2.00 Food and upkeep for family at 44c per person per day 803.00 Total .. $1,063.00 Thus the miner would find himself in debt $65.80 at the end of the year. The mine motormen, highest paid men in the mine getting $5 a day in the Kanawha and Hocking mines, would come out with a surplus of $109.45, but common mine labor at $4,20 would end the year $72.15 in debt. a “In making these computations,” says Woodrum, “no allowance has been made for the payment of lodge and union dues, altho all the other expenses of a miner’s family are in- cluded in the 44c a day allowance.” Plan Overnight Air Mail from Chicago to New York, June 1 WASHINGTON, March 6.—An over night air mail service between New York and Chicago will be inaugurated by the post office department before June 1, it was announced today.

The Britsih being seasoned burglars and experts in finding excuses to at- tach themselves to other peoples’ property, believe that the rebellion does not justify the number of troops which the Turkish government is hur- rying to the scene of trouble. It now happens that where the Kurds are kicking up a shindy is within a gun- shot of Irak, where valuable oil fields are located. France has given the Turks the use of the Syrian railway for the transportation of troops. The British kicked. The French simply grinned and asked the British for- eign office to have a smoke. see IS is very interesting. It is a sidelight on how capitalist gov- ernments work. France is operating against England thru Turkey. Eng- land is knifing France thru Greece. Turkey is but the handmaiden of France, and Greece {s England’s con- cubine. Ditto for the litter of repub- lics that were formerly under the czar’s yoke, but are now on the pay- roll of some big power. se “HERE are only two, big capitalist powers in Europe, England and France. . England is more or less solvent. France is less, but possesses @ good supply of finished steel and plenty of men willing to carry it. She has no use for bill collectors, provided they are not her own. The French gov- ernment has been able to work up a good trade in alliance on borrowed money. The supply seems to be ex- hausted and the little allies are notoriously fickle. The situation in Turkey will bear watching. The germs of another world war are running around loose in the Near East. Portuguese Revolutionists Busy LONDON, March 6.—An attempt was made by revolutionists to seize the military headquarters at Lisbon, Portugal, yesterday morning but the attack was repulsed by the military guard, according to a dispatch receiv- ed here today.

Washington Bivd., Chicago, Ill, THE DAILY WORKER SPRING) STRIKE PLAN OF MARINE UNITED FRONT Universal Demands to Be Worked Out NEW ORLEANS, La. (By Mail) March 3,—The second day of the con- ference of transport workers’ unions trom five of the twenty or so maritime countries. of the western hemisphere was held here today, As there are representatives from Cuba, Eequador, Argentine and Mex- ico, proceedings are carried on in both Spanish and English. Great Strike Planned. An international strike was agreed upon of all countries in the western hemisphere, at least of those five rep- resented, to be called in the spring. {t aims to tie up’all ports in the west- ern world, of course, both salt and fresh water, and to include not only the seafaring unions but the steve- dores and longshoremen as well. This was adopted after a debate, and the conference will work out detailed plans. A strike stamp to be issued by the unions involved was tentatively agreéd on, subject to the ratification of the unions represented. Universal Address Infers no Dualism. A universal cablegram address, to take the place of the lengthy titles of the unions, was adopted. This ad- dress, which will be the word, “Eman- cipation,” followed by the name of the Port, will be registered with cable, telegraph and radio companies. This will be used between the various un- ions represented, a cablegram, for ex- ample, addressed, ‘“Emanctpation, Havana,” would be delivered to the Laborers’ and Stevedores Union of Cuba, and to nobody else. This infers, however, that the un- fons represented do not intend to set up branches or organizations dual to the existing union in any port. This Tuns counter to the practice of the M. T. W. of the I. W. W. in Europe. May Blockade California. The conference went on record as demanding the unconditional release of class war prisoners, and agreed to boycott all California made goods un- til the prisoners held in that state un- der the slave “criminal syndicalism” law were released. This boycott may take the nature of a strike in refusal to handle California shipments. ‘The proceedings of the conference will be printed in both English and Spanish, IOWA BEING ORGANIZED IN WORKERS PARTY Des Moines Forms New Branch, More Coming DES MOINES, Iowa, March 6.— Des Moines labor heard the message of Communism last Sunday afternoon when J. E. Snyder and David Coutts spoke at the Trade Assembly Hall, in the wind-up of their successful month’s speaking and organizing tour thru this state. » The crowd of workers present listened very attentively to the re- marks of these capable speakers, and at the close of the meeting Des Moines had a full-fledged, genuine English branch of the Workers Party. While the half-wits and the has- beens sit back and scoff, the Workers Party is going right ahead and doing thinks thruout the state of Iowa. Before the year is out Iowa will have functioning Workers Party lo cals in every industrial center. And the building of the Workers Party in Towa will mean the building of the entire labor movement in this state. McAndrew Locks Door on Representative Teachers Appointed Superintendent of Schools William McAndrew refuses to recognize the representative chosen by the Teach- ers’ Federation to meet with his board of superintendents on the matter of secret markings of teachers. Objec tions have not been made to any other representative chosen from any other teachers’ organizations. But against the representative chosen by Teachers’ Federation refuse to per- tendent locked his doors tight. The 6,000 teachers comprising the Teachers Federation refuse to per- mit the superintendent to choose their representative. They have in- structed their board of managers to call upon their attorney, Isaac T. Greenacre, to assist them in fighting this case. Upon the decision of Mr. Greenacre rests whether or not the federation will institute court pro- ceedings against the superintendent. This step was by the teach- ers after the bo of superintend- ents of which Mc. w is chairman notified Miss Mary Abbe, president of the Teachers’ Federation that it will not recognize its ‘esentative, Miss Margaret Haley. yA Patronize our advertisers, Bill Would Put Children in New Jersey Sweat Shops JERSEY CITY, N.

The bill, according to the resolu- tion, is “a damnable effort to permit sweatshops again to employ children, break down laws we have already passed, and would result in under- mining the health of the children of this city.” The bill has passed its second read- ing, and before the Jersey City pro- test was made, met little opposition in the assembly. * Missouri For Child Labor.
