The Accorsi family, bereft of father, lives in a small frame house at the end of a muddy little back street known as Elbe Ave., Staten Island.

The report quotes Pravda as point- ing out that the Soviet Power will not make capitulations in the new agreement with Britain, and will especially avoid any committments binding it to answer for the acti- vities of the Communist Interna- tional.

The fight is very bitter, It has been taken into the eourts, injunc- tions are sought and the operators | are gradually showing their hand as the real principals behind the Lewis and Fishwick groups, “The old “pregressive’ elements, including Howatt, have rallied to Fishwick.” The miners are rallying in num- bers to the National Miners Union, and this fight between the bureau-’ erats in the U.M.W.A, has exposed both the Lewis and Fishwick groups in the eyes of the miners. Struggle Developing. The miners’ struggle through the N.M.U. will start around the local demands and grievances of the miners in the various mines. The Netional Miners Union will work to spread the strike, and will keep in view the demand for the six-hour day and five-day week. A terrific unemployment situation in the Illinois mines exists, and grows worse, the board found. About helf the miners are jobless, Many miners, displaced by the introduction of machinery, and the speed-up, went to the auto and steel centers. Now that the auto factories are di: ckarging thousands, these miners tend to drift back to their home centers and add to the misery that will prevail vhere during winter. The union will work out a real ecmpaign for unemployed relief at tle expense of the state and the coal operators. It may involve dramatic parads of the unemployed, marching upon the state capital, It will certainly be the task of the working miners to force, under the leadership of the N.M.U., their de- upon the coal companies.

They even got a stool pigeon to represent himself as a striker, enter a strikers’ meeting and try to under- mine the moral of the men. All these little tricks are in vain, however.
