nt in Other Fields 4 a 1 TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct. 18.— Adding another to its string of be- trayals of the coal diggers, the Lewis machine today made public 1 its part in the deal with the Indiana Coal Operators’ Association to put over a wage cut in the mine fields of this state. The cut involves reduction of from $1.40 to § day for day men and it is estimated about $10 and above for tonnage workers. | Harvey Cartwright, president of the district, a discredited Lewis r henchman, openly hinted today that the miners would in all prob y vote “favorably” on the cut when a so-called referendum is taken. This is understood to be a promise | © to the operators that the vote will) be stolen as was the case in Iowa, Illinois and in other sections in which “referendums” were staged by the machine. * 8 * Wholesale Reductions.

BY SANDINO FORCES (Special to the Daily Worker) MEXICO CITY, Oct. 18—The flag of American imperialism, cap- tured by the heroic revolutionary soldiers of General Augustino San- lino, Nicaraguan rebel leader, was livered here to the “Hands Off iearaguan Committee” of Mexico as a symbol of appreciation from the Nicaraguan masses to the work- ers and peasants of Mexico for their solidarity in the fight against the common enemy, the imperial colos- | sus of the north. The flag, which was captured from the 47th Company of the Sec- ond Regiment of U. S. Marines now on duty in Nicaragua, was presented to the Mexican Hands Off Nicara- gua Committee (‘“Mafuenic”) by Gustavo Machado, personal repre- sentative of General Sandino in Mexico. The flag was captured in S the, battle of Zapote on May 14, in which the army of Wall Street’s Im- _ perialist government is said to have Hen completely routed. An autograph by General San- ino, written on the flag, was iden- |tified by Mariano Gavaldon, notary of Mexico City, and others who are familiar with the Nicaraguan pa- |triot’s handwriting. The trophy bore a dedication to the workers and peasants of Mexico from the | Nicaraguan masses in appreciation |of their solidarity against American | imperialism, Figs.

Befog Workers Speaking at a celebration in honor of the placing of the Work- ers Party on the Ohio ballot, Wil- liam Montgomery Brown, unfrocked as a Methodist Episcopal bishop for his militancy, exposed the use of the religious issue by Al Smith as a move to befog the workers. His speech, delivered Oct. 7 in Cleveland, follows: “Not wishing to face the real is- sues of the campaign as well as,not having a platform different in any essential from the republican, Smith tries the political trick of an ap- peal to religious prejudice on the one hand, and “intolerance” on the other. Mr. Smith is no doubt right in saying that if he is’ elected the Pope will not dictate to him from Rome. He knows that his orders come not from Rome but from Wall Street. “The Workers (Communist) Par- ty believes that the religious ques- tion in the form that it has been injected into this campaign by both republicans and democrats is a fake issue. Under a workers’ govern- ment there would be full religious liberty, but the government would carry on a most, energetic campaign against all forms of religious super- stition among the masses, and against all forms of political activ- ity on behalf of capitalism by the various churches, the Workers Par- ty seeks so to educate the masses that religion with its attendant si perstitions and reactionary tende b life and society.

It must be a demon- stration in support of the cam- paign for withdrawing marines from Nicaragua, the battleships from Chinese waters, for the com- plete independence of the Philip- pines, for the immediate with- drawal of all American troops from the colonies of the Pacific, for the abolition of the regimes of U.
