Labor Depart-| | ment Commissioner Wood, Assistant Secretary of Labor Husband, Sen- ator Arthur Gould of Maine and Representative Hamilton Fish of New York—and some of the fruits of this plotting and forging of docu- ments, are the Whalen “exposures” of Amtorg and the resolution before Congress to “investigate” Commu- nist activities. Want to “Investigate” Daily Worker | As for the Daily Worker, also named in the resolution by Repre-| sentative Snell of New York as something to “investigate,” we can say that while “all the king’s horses and all the king’s men” are supposed | to be “investigating” where these “documents” of Whalen came from, that we have found the man who ordered the faked “Comintern” let- terheads from the printer Max Wag- ner at 204 EB. 10th St., N. Y. C. We have no illusions that either the city government or the federal government even want to find this man who ordered the fake letterheads. But his name is Alex Yozwa, who recently came from Esthonia and, having friends on the Russian white guardist paper here, the “Noyoye Russkoye Slovo,” got a menial job with it, selling books for its bookstore and running errands, Yozwa lived with the clerk of the bookstore run by this white guard paper. But, strangely enough, when the exposures of the Whalen “docu- ments” began, has made himself scarce around the paper but still gets his mail in its care which is delivered to him by the clerk men- tioned. These characters were seen only Monday at the white guard hangout known as the “Russian Art Restaurant“ on Second Avenue, not two blocks from the printshop of Max Wagner. Stimson—War Monger.

The miners who against the sell-out, to organize the mine have fought | ha for militant struggle have been blackjacked, | slugged, jailed and killed. The) U, M.

The local | grievance committees have had all! power taken away from them and | the only agency recognized is the Conciliation Board, controlled by the coal operators and which is the! graveyard for all miners’ grievances. Plan Another Betrayal When mine workers can stand no more and strikes break out Lewis and his agents in the U. W. A. rush in to break the strike and always tell the miners that “You can’t vio- late the agreement.” The coal com- panies violate the agreement daily. The Lewis machine looks upon it as a crime for miners to fight for their own interests. The U. M. W. of A. betrays the miners daily and are preparing another black betrayal when the agreement expires on August 31, The U. M. W. of A., led by Lewis in the anthracite and by Farring- ton, Howat, Fishiwek, Walker, etc.,| in the soft coal fields, is a fascist | organization. From 400,000 mem- bers in 1922 the U. M. W. of A. has} sunk until today it has less than| 100,000 dues paying members—in- | cluding the anthraeite and bitumi- nous fields, The union was smashed | deliberately by these agents of the coal operators and turned into a club to be used against the mine workers. Even in the anthracite there are 50,000 miners unorganized. The coal companies, as part of American capitalism, have the gov- ernment machinery—city, county, state and national—at their disposal. In every important strike, as in the strike of mere than 10,000 imois miners on December 9 of last year, the government forces are used against the miners and their fami- lies, State troops, National Guard, the police, the courts, injunctions are used to break strikes, Militant leaders like Charles Guynn, secre- tary of the National Miners’ Union, and William Foster, secretary of the Trade Union Unity League, are jailed for long terms. Drive on Foreign-Born The coal operators and their agents now threaten large numbers of foreign-born miners with depor- tation, registration, finger-printing, ete., in an attempt to terrorize them and make them accept the slave conditions in the mine fields. uine and as “speaking for them- selves.” such blatant “red-hatters” as Com- missioner Wood who is a govern- ment appointee. In fact, American imperialism, seeking hegemony in the anti-Sovict war campaign, rather profits from this taking away of the leadership in the drive from its rival, British imperialism, Hence! while Stimson may be concerned about damage to trade, he will doubtless encourage the stinking, ACTIVE PRE 26-28 UNION SQUARE NEW YORK CITY The Negro miners are picked out for special persecution by the bosses tried | |necessary to form Workers’ Defense jcountries under their control there the second part of the anthracite program of the Na- t appeared in The Daily Worker yes y of preparing for strike on Septem: of hard and soft coal miners, It and Lewis quarrels, and the con- | other group of we ‘Ss dustry.

They must be exposed and defeated. No more dues and assessments should be paid to these fascists and social-fascists, World Crisis of Capitalism The crisis in the mining industry is part of the deep crisis of Ameri- can capitalism, which in turn is part of the crisis of world capitalism. In |the United States 8,000,000 workers are unemployed and millions more} ean find only part-time jobs. In all capitalist countries and the colonial are more than 20,000,000 workers | jobless and living on the verge of | starvation. The capitalist class is making a drive against the wages, | working conditions and living standards of the working class and the colonial peoples. This drive on the working class is part of the preparation for a new imperialist war by which the rulers hope to solve the world crisis of capitalism.
