HE brave and gallant struggle of the British miners is call- ing forth the deepest admiration of every workingman and work- ingwoman thruout. the world. They are fighting a cause which involves the well-being of the’ toil- ing and exploited masses every- where. The American workers must give to the British miners re- lief to the maximum of their abil- ity. WE have now in the United States a delegation sent to the American labor movement by the striking miners. It consis{s of Joseph Jones, general secretary of the Yorkshire Miners’ Associa- tion and member of the executive board of the British Miners’ Fed- eration; James Robson, president of the Durham Miners’ Associa- tion; Paul MeKenna, agent of the Scottish miners; Oliver Harris, treasurer of ~the South Wales Miners’ Federation; Ben Tillet, secretary of the Transport Work- ers and delegate from the general kingson, M. P., who is general chairman of the Woman’s Relief committee. This delegation has come here for relief, and good sub- stantial relief it must get. It must also raise the issue of the labor movement placing an embargo on American coal to Eng- land. This embargo is of the most vital importance for the win- ning of the miners’ strike.

HOktHy’s bloody government of Hungary was all prepared to take the lives of some of the bravest and most loyal revolution ary leaders of the Hungarian working class. Mathias Rakosi, Zoltan Weinberger and 58 more workers were placed on trial before a court of Horthy’s henchmen to “dispose” of these courageous leaders of the Hungarian workers. X ! Thanks to world-wide protests against this fresh conspiracy of the Horthy regime, the bloodliounds of the white.terror were ‘com- pelled to retreat. But not completely, The capitalists and land owners of Hungary wouldn’t let go their workingclass victims alto- gether. So the court sentenced Rakosi and Weinberger to eight and a half and eight years in prison respectively, and thirty-seven more of the defendants were sentenced to terms of from one to five years. Capitalism knows no mercy. Having the power in its hands it crushes relentlessly all opposition of the workers and poor peasants. But the power and consciousness of the masses is growing. The Hun- garian revolutionary movement is again taking shape bringing closer the day of reckoning for the Horthy regime. Down with the hangmen of the Hungarian working masses! Hail the brave leaders of their revolutionary struggles! Alex Bittelman. MATHIAS RAKOSI shipped to England strengthens tremendously the striking miners. ists.
