It was directly due to this policy of submission of every whim of the employers against the workers, the Communist Trade unionists showed, that the membership of unions af- filiated with the congress has fallen off to 2,000,000 as against the near- ly 4,000,000 of a few years ago. In a stubborn fight to cite proof of their contention, they pointed to the case of the worker Glading, dis- charged from Woolwich Arsenal last year because he was a Communist. Glading had appealed to his union. The union had conveniently “re- ferred the matter to the general council,” and the council had politely written to the government about the dismissal before dropping Glading’s case cold, Militant delegates tried to force the officialdom to reopen the case. They could not even get themselves a hearing. A. J. Cook, still secretary of the Miners’ Union and honored «guest at Buckingham Palace, told his hear- } ers that “there would never be an- other coal strike in Great Britain.” Virtually as he spoke, the coal-own- ers were pushing rationalization measures, directly sponsored by the labor government, in coal fields throughout England, Scotland and Wales. Thousands of miners will be thrown on the streets through the process, ahd those left will be forced to increase production thru widespread introduction of machin- ery. These are the factors which will inevitably make for a mass coal strike, in spite of the cheerful op- timism of Cook, members of the Minority Movement, to which miners are turning for leadership rather than to the discredited reformist unions, point out.

United Europe Urged By Briand at League | (Continued from Page One) of the various countries,” Premier Briand said pleading for a “United States of Europe” before the League of Nations today. Briand proposed a defensive trade alliance to fight the U. S. tariff. But when he spoke of “such a de- velopment in Europe that would eliminate friction and misunder- standing and which would prove to be for the good of all European countries” it became clear that his proposed alliance would be no mere “trade” affair. Despite Stimson’s sharp disclaimer of the U. S.-British naval accord MacDonald eulogized in his opening League speech, the British labor premier is still harping on the navy pact and “the spirit of peace” which he says will effect it. Briand expressed the French fear of such a U. S,-British caucus, which could be used egainst them. “Mac- different point of view from that of \France,” says the Journal des De- (ie “What will happen to other \ (rer -French) naval powers when /Britian and America reach an agree- ment and set about dictating to Nevertheless, the — steel-worker| writes, after his twelve hour day in Schwab’s steel mills, the workers are continuing their drive to secure funds to help the Gastonia Joint De- fense and Relief Campaign Commit- tee, of 80 East Eleventh Street, Room 402, N.
