Page Four THE YO He ic Miners’ HANawOTS WOMEN IN COAL The American Federation of La- bor executive council has denounced he Brookwood Labor College as be- ng too radical and ordered its unions o refuse further support. The New eader, organ of the decrepit So- jalist party, characterizes this ac- fon as “‘a tragic blunder.” The New vender is right. The actions of both he A. F. of L. officialdom and the socialist party, whether through cor- zuption or stupidity, are directed to- svard one result, the maintenance of the present economic system. They khould work hand in hand. The New ader is also right in saying there *s no radicalism at Brookwood. You nave just as much chance of com- sng upon radicalism at Brookwood us finding Bill Green urging the armed overthrow of the capitalist system at West Point. i io.

Comedy Dueat Lyceum Sept. 24 STEEL CENTER Steubenville Workers Are Defiant (By a Worker Correspondent) STEUBENVILE, Ohio, (By Mail). The first organized attempt of the of Steubenville, Ohio, to build a strong defense movement in this city in sev months, has found the local police department in a highly nervous condition, verging on delirium tremons. On Saturday, August 25, the local branch of the I.L.D. was to hold a mass memorial meeting for Sacco and Vanetti on the steps of the Court House. The meeting was scheduled for 7, but the Salvation Army had already taken the stump. Our comrades waited peacefully un- til eight, when the sky-pilots left. Comrade J. Judson, of Cleveland, mounted the stand. He had said no more than ten words to call the meeting to order, when four husky coppers jerked him off the stump and proceeded to walk him to the police station, a block away. The crowd followed to the station, where the police told Comrade Jud- son he might go free if he would cease speaking. He refused, so they kept him there. There then began a long grilling, in which many questions were asked, such as “Who are your committee? | Where are you from? Why do you} bother with such things? What can you do? Sacco and Vanzetti are dead already!” Comrade Judson an- swered these questions properly, being sufficiently wide awake to| know just what was wanted, and giving them very little actual infor- workers Comrade Judson was held over- night, it was finally decided to re- lease him on charges -of inciting to riot, under $2,000 bail.

They have braved every peril; have shown revolutionary courage; have defied the sheriffs and the courts. The women are the burden bear- ers and they will be the fighters in the great struggle for proletarian vietory. The miners wives in southeastern Ohio have organized into groups with the express purpose of getting together for mutual benefit and also to be able more effectively to win any future struggles that may be in store for them. And they have also helped them- selves at the present time through holding picnies, dances and through collections made in nearby towns. 8C—S.
