Mobilize Workers The campaign will be a campaign to mobilize the workers and farmers to fight in their own interests. The powerful combines of American in- dustry must be.met with powerful industrial organizations of the work- ers. New trade union organizations of the workers must be built. The unorganized workers in the basic and | key industries must be organized. | Wage cuts must be fought. The} miners’ fight against the drive of the | capitalists and the strike of the New Bedford textile workers must become the fight of the whole working class in the United States. The needle trades workers’ and miners’ struggle for a union under militant leadership, free from the re- aetionary, corrupt and treacherous Lewis and Sigman machines, will be meade part of the election struggle to indicate the need for a_ militant, fighting unionism in the United States in opposition to the company unionization of the trade unions re- sulting from the class-collaboration policies of the reactionary official- dom. In the election campaign a fight for the unemployed must be made with the demand of work at union wages for the unemployed or else “all support to the unemployed in the form of union wages during periods of unemployment. The Strikebreaker Government must be fought, and government by injunction and police and military terrorism against the workers ended The issues of the campaign are many.

RESULTS OF NY MINE TAGDAY TO BE ANNOUNCED Returns Still Coming in From Sections Result of the Tag Days Drive held by the Miners’ Relief Committee are not yet obtainable, it was announced yesterday. Most of the stations have not turned in their boxes. Many of the workers who collected last Saturday and Sunday for the relief of the striking miners are holding on to their collection boxes, so that they can be used on the 4th of July at the various beaches and nearby summer resorts. According to Fannie Rudd, Secretary of the National Miners’ Relief Committee, over $5,- 000 will probably be collected. Besides the proceeds from the Tag Days, relief funds to the National Miners’ Relief Committee are coming in daily from the sale of Solidarity Certificates. These _ certificates, ranging in amount from 25 cents to ten dollars, are being bought by workers thruout the city as an evi- dence of their solidarity with the striking miners in their fight against the open shop operators. The National Miners’ Relief Com- mittee has urged all workers to buy and sell the booklets of Solidarity | Certificates, which may be obtained |at 799 Broadway, Room 237.
