Joint Action Is Token | of Solidarity VERA CRUZ, Mexico, Oct. 5.— All port workers in Vera Cruz will walk out on Monday, in a sympathy | strike on behalf of the school- | teachers who struck today for higher wages. ! The school teachers struck wher | the municipal government refused to grant a wage increase and wages | for the first two months of the! school session. An attempt was made | to avert the strike by appealing to the business men of the city to for- ward enough money to pay for two months, but this has evidently failed. The dock workers announced that; they would strike, if the school teachers, affiliated with them in the CROM (Mexican Federation of La- bor), were not -granted their de- mands. A strike of dock workers would tie up the port and cripple the business of Vera Cruz. i} MINERS’ UNION ATTACKS COURT Exposes Lewis-Opera-| tor Controlled Justice | Continued from Pane One | Lewis machine and hireiing of the enal operators, who shot and killed the coal miner George Moran and wounded Carl and Theodore Glovak, | has been exonerated by the cor-| ener’s jurv of all blame for the| death of this worker.

A. in the bituminous fields, the wage-cutting offensive of the hard-coal operators is becoming more flagrant. Last week, rates for | . a certam operation in Pettibone | mine of Glen Alden Coal Company | ‘were cut from $6.17 to $3.75. In) jother mines of the same company, | ‘rates on company work are reduced by $1 a day or more. The company of the famous Maj. Inglis does not stand alone, how- lever, in the attack against the liv- ing conditions of the miners. Phila- \delphia and Reading, the biggest company in the anthracite region, ‘employing over 30,000 miners, re-} |duced the rate for timber in Hoot |mine from $6.75 to $3.50. Other mines and other companies are about to follow this course. Old Standards Lost. Besides these cuts in wages, there are other means to reduce the earn- ings of the miners. “Consideration” work (day work, in case of bad coal) is becoming a thing of the past. In case the miner cannot earn more than $1 to $2 a day on piece work, that is his “hard luck.” The district and local officials, all controlled by the company, are not fighting at all against this offen- sive. Grievances are ignored by The min- ers are getting discouraged; most of the times they do not attend their local meetings, but in some cases they are putting up a fight, trying | to force the officials to fight for them. Sooner or later they find out, however, that this can never be done. The United Mine Workers of America is acting as a company union in the anthracite tri- district.

Most probably it was this agency which had arranged the kidnaping of Cesare Rossi, According to recent reports this organization also spies upon Swiss citizens who are known to be anti-fascists. In this way the fascist police in Rome receive regu- lar reports of anti-fascist activity in Switzerland. ; The feeling aroused by the case of Rossi and by numerous other fas- cist terroristic acts is very great.
