SEND IN A SUBIL On te Hirseor THE BRITISH COAL STRIKE The War on the Miners.—The General Strike.—-Boycott All Coal for Britain —Miners’ Need for Financial Aid.—The Futare of the British Labor Movement. By TOM -MANN. HE capitalists of England have had a long inning. They have domi- nated the workers so completely and exploited them so systematically that the average worker has counted it a privilege to be permitted to work in factory, mill or mine and to exist as a subordinate ‘to the’ posing superior class. Of course there have been ex- ceptions to this rule, but beyond doubt the boss class has so thoroughly soused the mentality of the workers that the outlook upon live as visual- ized by the average worker has been exactly that dAiberately arranged for him by the ruling class, and this has been done thru the instrumentality of the church, the Sunday school, the par- liamentary law makers, the law ad- ministrators, and, above all, the capi- talist press. /By the shrewd use of these agencies:the worker has been so terribly handi¢apped in viewing life from a working-class standpoint that it has been one of the hardest tasks destined to go on at an increasing rate, and no power on earth can stop it. The more the capitalist press howls at the worker the more the ordi- nary man, ignorant of economic knowl- edge, becomes conscious of his ignor- ance and boldly or shyly turns to his better-informed workmate to get an understanding, and with this comes the light, and this man is lost as a supporter of capitalism as a conse- quence. Difference in Method. HIS explains why there is a differ- ence in the methods of running strikes and lockouts now compared to former days. There was always some among those affected who are alive to the necessity of presenting the im- mediate struggle in its right relation- ship to the class struggle. The miners in Britain have been subjected to rough experiences at the hands of the mine owners periodi- cally for a generation, During this period the trade unions have grown and working conditions improved, but since the finish of the world war de- on earth to get the exploited worker to see that he was.exploited. Real ‘Headway Made. R more ‘than thirty years past termined attacks have been made on the miners by the owners, plus the government. there have been clear-minded ad- vocates earnestly engaged in spread- ing economic knowledge that the worker might see the true relation- ship between himself and the master class, but with every orthodox insti- tution against the spread of such knowledge the progress made, whilst genuine enough, was not on a scale to be easily seen, Nothing is more sure, however, than that real headway has been made, and is now being made, and this in face of the most virulent opposition the capi- talists, including the government, are able to give. Lockouts and strike occasions serve exceptionally» well for pointing the moral and giving apt illustrations easily understood by the average man with his mentality prepared by the exceptional sunroundings, Minority Movement Demands.: HERE as many miners very keen upon getting the mines for the na- tion, and some of these see the neces- sity for workers’ control of the mines, The National Minority Movement, to which many of the miners belong, keenly advocates the nationalization of the mines without compensation and with workers’ control, The Min- ers’ Federation Executive as yet are not including this in their demands they are merely resisting any worsen- ing of the conditions by the bosses. As is now 4vell known, the three con- ditions are that there shall be no low- ering of the wage, no increase in the working timé, and no resort to district settlements, as this latter would make it easy for thé’ bosses to reduce wages in some districts. The miners have now been otf 86days, including the ten ers are, I believe, stronger today than when they commenced, The left-wing officials and members of the executive are in the ascendancy and the mod- erates or right wingers are increas- ingly discredited. J. COOK has proved to have a * sticking- power altogether’ be- yond what most people expected of him, and at the hour of writing it can be said that he has held his own with ease with the bosses and equally with the reactionaries in the union move- ment. Herbert Smith, the president of the federation, is a very different man temperamentally, but he and Cook work harmoniously together. Owners Take $100,000,000 Yearly, While it is true that some of the mines are old and derelict, it ,is have been. opened in recent years, and these have a long life before them, Also it is true that the mine owners have ,been in receipt of more than twenty million pounds per annim as profits from the mines and the receiv- ers of royalty rents another six mil lions pounds per annum. Every day some sections in various occupations are compelled to stop work thru short- age of fuel, and in a short time it will mean there will be as many not work- ing as was the case during the par- tial general strike. Must Ship No Coal. ‘T will be a great shame and a ge- rious grievance if coal should ar- rive in Britain from other countries to help defeat the miners. We of the Minority Movement are vigorously ad- vocating that no coal shall be handled in this country, and appealing to work- ers in other countries not to allow any coal to come to this country while the fight is on, The embargo of coal is very .important. We have those who say there will “never again” be another general strike, Others of us are of opinion that the partial strike at the begin- ning of May was only an encouraging réliminary canter, but a correct in- equally true that many new mines_ no very distant date. Not for mine only, but equally in other industri there is a rapidly growing desire for complete workers’ control and ownem ship of the means of production by th community.
