ASK 4 MILITANT MINERS BE FREED Delegation to Visit Illinois Governor Petitions and resolutions from the coal miners in Southern Illinois and labor organizations throughout the state of Illinois demanding the re- \Blease of Henry Corbishley, Steve jeanovich, Ignatz Simich and Eddie oleski from imprisonment, are puring in upon Governor Small. These four militant miners were framed and imprisoned on the charge of assault with intent to commit murder, as a result of a | fight which occurred at a.meeting of Local 992, United Mine Workers of America. The ones who incited the riot, it has been established, were two reactionary union offi- cials, Cobb and Fox, henchmen of the corrupt Lewis and Farrington machines. Corbishley and the oth- ers convicted were active support- ers of the Save-the-Union movement in the U. M. W. A. and today are supporters of the movement to build a new National Miners’ Union. The coal oparators, the reactior- ary U. M.

TILDEN REINSTATED IN “AMATEUR” SPORTS COMEDY PARIS, July 25 (UP).—William T. Tilden today received a cable-| gram from American tennis au- thorities saying that he had been reinstated as a member of the United States Davis Cup tennis team for the challenge round against the French cupholders. * * * The reinstatement of Wiliiam T. Tilden, premier American tennis player, as a member of the United States Davis Cup team, rounds out another scene in the comedy called “American Amateur Sports.” Tilden was supposedly dropped for violating the amateur rule that | a player must not write newspaper articles about a tournament in which | he is appearing. He mal write ar- ticles about other tournaments, cor- ral the cash, and still remain an “amateur.” The reason for the change of front by American tennis authorities has not been dissolved, bue even so-called amateur rules must not be allowed to stand in the way of winning a tournament.

REDUCES RELIEF FOR UNEMPLOYED Discriminate Against | Girls in England | LONDON, July 24 (ES).—In| \spite of the fact that conditions are becoming worse and that it is be- coming more impossible for a young | worker to find employment, the gov- ernment has announced a reduction }of unemployment relief for the | young workers. At present, unemployed young workers receive 17 shillings per week ($4.00), on which they are ex- pected to live. The new rate for young workers is 10 shillings for boys of 18 ($2.40 per week), 8 shil- lings for girls ($1.90); for 19 years taken off the drydocks and trans-| of age, 12 shillings for boys and 10/ A But the shillings for girls; and for 20, boys | S¢*ves, Who were arian! to Ld iworkers only laugh at the crude 17 and girls 12 shillings per week. | it» the squad of right wing hire-| No explanation for the lower rate for girls is made. ers fear that they will find them- selves in the situation of American lis given the unemployed. INSURANCE PLAN ‘SHOWN AS FRAUD General Motors Will Profit Continued from Page One The labor turnover in the General Motors Company is said to be be- tween 10 and 12 per cent per year. This means that an almost com- fpletely new force is taken in about every eight or nine years. In other words, _ practically speaking, little insurance pay- ments will actually. be made, | since the workers will have left, but the Morgan firm will actually rake in a huge profit for the transaction. Only those workers who die with- lin a few years of their employment \by the concern will derive any | “benefit,” for, according to thé av- ‘erage, they will have left the firm ‘and have lost their insurance after -about eight years. | The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which issues the insur- ance, is likewise a Morgan-controlled concern. Its vice-president, Fred- erick H. Ecker, who was intrumen- tal in putting over the scheme, is active in the traction and power gang which operates in New York State. He is a director of both the Interborough and the B.-M. T. rail- | roads.

How complete the wrecking crew has accomplished its work was brought out in the discussion. Freeman Thompson from Illinois gave a graphic picture of the mine workers’ union in the past and at present in a number of districts. “In Wyoming, for example,” he said, “the miners work three shifts in 24 hours. Oklahoma in 1922 was 100 per cent organized. Today the union is wiped out, the miners work under the 1917 scale, similar condi- tions exist in practically all the southwestern states. Kansas miners are working for whatever scale the operators will pay. Western Ken- tucky had 25,000 members in 1922, now there are scarcely any.

Clergy Returning to Power MEXICO CITY, July 25.—The “confession” of Jose De Leon Toral, assassin” of General Obregon, re- veals the success of the alliance be- tween the church hierarchy and the landowners of the “Agrarians” in using the religious inspired murder to restore the Catholic clergy to power and as a pretext for persecu~ tion of the Mexican workers. Frame-Up Against “Laborites.” Toral, in his “confession” as given out by the authorities today, is quoted as saying that his “religious feelings” were played upon by “Manuel Trejo,” a mysterious per- son who is reported to have gone to the United States. If “Trejo” is an actual person, it is probable that he is a member of the “Labor” party ond a victim of the frame-up, with the purpose of charging that the labor unions are responsible for the assassination. Toral May Not Be Executed No announcement of the date of Toral’s trial has been made. The Catholic Church is trying to save him, and the announcement of the “Agrarians” that they do not seek his execution indicates that Toral may be released or at least his life spared in return for his valuable services to the reactionary forces.
