Organize Into the National Miners’ Union Dear Comrade Editor:— Herminie, Pa. I want you to print this in the Daily Worker because I want other people to know how men are getting treated at the War- den mine of the Pittsburgh Coal Co. They have laid off 500 men in the month of February and I was lucky enough that I didn’t get fired. But here is the way the bosses treated me for a good while. | I went to the mine one day and when I got to my place it was caved in. So I waited for the boss to come around. He came and he said to me to go with him to Section 1 which was a half & mile away. When we came thereo— ud he said there is nothing here. to put the wagon in another parting He took me to another section |so I could load it the next day. Pa. A. F. L.

He found me a place 20 feet long, 3 feet deep to skip on the haulage toad, It was then 8:30 o'clock. So I When I came the next day the motorman said he got orders’ from the boss to give the wagon to some one else, so you can see I did not get paid for that wagon. When I went out to see the sheet, 1 did not see even the first wagon that J loaded on it. I 2sked the company weigh-boss about the wagon. He told me to come the | next day, So I came the next day and he brought me a slip saying that the wagon was dirty coal and had to be dumped vn the |slate | dumps. Later I found out from a friend that works on the tipple that the wagon went for house coal. That shows that I worked 2 days for nothing for the master class. I also worked 2 days day-work and got paid for four hours. —J. L. and P. D. undermined my coal and shot it. Then the motorman came and gave me a wagon. He said I must load this} wagon in 45 minutes, a 7 ton wagon. | But we get 60 and 70 cents a hundred | at the most so I worked like a horse | to do it and I did. Then he gave me another wagon and I did not have | much coal so I could not load it fast.) Not Paid for Work. I wanted to move the wagon closer for it was too far to shovel and when I did move it it got away from me. Whef the motorman came I told him! Fancy Leather-Goods Worker Answers Right Wing Official NEW YORK.—The Fancy Leather Goods Union is on the eve of nego- tiations for a new agreement with the bosses, At such time it is of utmost importance to have the ranks of the workers in the trade united. Do the leaders of our ad- ministration understand this? The answer is NO. To prove this, I will refer to an article written by M. Blum, a member of the Joint Council, in the January-February issue of the International Pocket- “book Worker, The article is en- ‘ titled “The Situation In the Cut- ters Local.” In his article, M. Blum, the Joint Council member, does not point | out the real evils prevailing inthe ing paid $10 and $15 a week less than the cutter’ wage. He for- gets to tell us that there are cut- ters who are being underpaid as well. Choppers agree to work for less, not because they are chop- pers, but becaus they are not given the opportunity by such cutter members of the Joint Council as Blum. Mr. Blum would like to elimin- ate the choppers from the trade altogether. Mr. Blum then ends his article with these words: “Let the cutters grasp each others’ hands.” Let them remember that in unity there is strength. United we must strive fot a better liveli- hood. « cutters’ section. He tries, instead of that, to de- develop a theory that the chop- the cutters do.

FANCY LEATHER GOODS, REMEMBER ALL WORK- ERS TOGETHER AND NOT ONE AGAINST THE OTHER! —HARRY JACKLES. r Dies in Milwaukee, Comrade Gourkes was .a bakery and restaurant worker, a member of the Communist Party and of the In- ternational Labor Defense, where he gave faithful services.

In Old Ben it is reported that water is filling up fast, which will sooner or later endanger the lives of the miners, if something isn’t done about it. The miners know these rotten conditions and are striking, but they are not satisfied with the con- ditions in the strike, that’s because they are under the leadership of the Lewis gang, who wish to send these miners back to work. The N. M. U, is having a separate divi- sion here and is doing fine work. They are swaying the. rank and filers from U. M. W.

T. W. I. U. sent delegates uninvited. The room of the governor's office was filled with the bosses’ politi- cians, A. F. of L. fakers, who, it must be said, mingled alike as if there wes no difference between them—and, in fact, there was little to distinguish between the “labor leaders” and the politicians. Only the three representatives of the militant revolutionary organizations of the workers were outside of their sphere. Our delegates handed in the credentials and immediately Pinchot was called upon to attend to them. He told them that this was a private conference, but he would allow them to stay in pro- vided they would not attempt to speak. After a hot argument, we decided to stay and watch the pro- ceedings. The first one to speak was John Philips, president of the Pennsylva- nia State Federation of Labor. He) is supposed to be a “progressive” | but his speech revealed his colors. He had no program at all; he was floating around and finally came to the conclusion that he favors the private police. His line was further elaborated on and strengthened by Murray, the first vice-president of | the U.M.W. of A., but the most re- | actionary speech of all was that of | Kennedy, the secretary treasurer of | the U.M.W. of A, He came out open- | ly for the Mussmanno bill and he uttered such statements during his) speech as the sacred right of pro- testing private property. These three “representatives” of Labor who have Sold out many strikes of workers, who have destroyed the United Mine Workers of America by their sell- out of the 1927 miners strike, went out in favor of the private Coal and Iron police which was responsible for the death of score sof miners. Upon the conclusion of the speech of Kennedy, Pinchot got up and asked whether anybody else would like to speak, Here the represen- tative of the Trade Union Unity League rose and asked for the floor. He claimed that he represents an organization which is leading work- ers into struggles against wage-cuts and speed-up and he would like to present the point of view of that organization. He had time to utter .only a few sentences whereupon Pin- chot called upon the thugs prepared for ahead of time and the three workers were thrown out of the room. This conference the secrecy of it and the methods used to suppress the voice of the workers who are actually representing the masses, ex- poses the mask of liberalism of Gov- ernor Pinchot. It shows him in his naked self as the representative of the bosses class using his shrewd- ness and political ability to fool the masses, and make them accept the rule of the bosses. It shows that the AF. of L. leaders have com- cessary bolt in the state machinery of the capitalist class of this coun- try to suppress the workers. The Communist Party, the Trade Union Unity League and its affili- ated organizations will expose this fake libe: im and the reactionary leaders of the A.F. of L. by mobil- izing the masses of workers in their fight for better conditions. Only through mass pressure of the work- ers upon the state and the bosses through militant strikes will they force better conditions from them and no Coal and Iron police or any other agency of the bosses will stop them.

Dear Daily Worker: I’m dropping you a few words how we went from~here to Duluth, 110 miles, to hear our revolutionary leader, William Z. Foster. I met comrades in Woodman Hall that came over 180 miles. When I came back from Duluth many workers met me in the road and asked me how I liked it. What kind of man he was. I wish I could of heard him, they said. Workers around the mine say he is the Amer- ican Stalin, I will let you know the situation here in the Crosby Cyuna Range mines. We are working four days a week close to a year ago. Now Ar- mor No. 1 and No. 2 England Steel Co. have started to work three days @ week, The bosses say they think they'll have to put on two days, and we got a speed-up system, We pro- duce more in three days than before in seven days, Several mines art going to shut | down tight on April 1. | The workers ask each other what they are going to do, About a year ago you never heard that from most of the workers.

The Victor R. C. A. has a lot to say, but nothing to do, only to keep the workers with promises that they have a big prospect for the coming June, But this prom- ise will not solve the problem at present, I have a statement here from the court sheriff, stating that in Cam- den anf the vicinity around there, about 70 to 100 eviction cases are taken up each week. These work- ers are being thrown out of their homes through no fault of their ewn, They have received no re- lief and have decided that the only way out is to join the class strug- gle. They have formed protest leagues and unemployed councils. —A WORKER. Chicago Workers Pro- ‘est Gov't Attacks On “The Young Worker” CHICAGO, March 20.—The action of the government in taking away second class mailing privileges from the “Young Worker” has aroused great protest of both youth and adult working class organizations in Chicago.” The organizations hvae demon- strated their protest by sending in protest resolutions to the Post Office in Washington, as well as donations Dete The following are the list of or- | Sanizations which have sent in both | resolutions and money; | Huhgarian Young Workers’ Club (youth) $5; Karl Liebknecht Br.

This is just a beginning. More resolutions and money are on their way. The workers of Chicago are determined to maintain the “Young Worker” despite all attacks of the | workers, 6 8 PORTLAND, Oregon.—The third day of the trial of Ferd Walker and Paul Munter was marked by the com- pletion of testimony by the defense witnesses and the closing arguments go to the jury tomorrow with three hours agreed upon each side. Propaganda of the class war was introduced on a scale that has never | been seen in a class case before. Paul | Muntor, first witness for the defense | told the role of the I. L.

D. branch and on bail for the same charge threw a bombshell into the courtroom with the admission that he had committed acts of force and violence though he testified that the C. P. did not advocate it at this stage of the class struggle. In answer to attorney Goodman's question as to where he had com- mitted these acts, Moore, replied, “I was @ mumber one man on a machine The remaining officers, iding th group still serving a , are sympathetic to Scheringer's action and will probably solidar This morning fierce co | | other interest —and unearned —in- come-takers have not been touched by the labor government, In those states where the hours of | work were reduced. by law from 48 isions took | | place before the Neukoclin prison be- | tween Communist demonstrators and police.

But only the rk: have been hit. The bond! landlords, and to 44 per week, a wage-cut of 8% per cent equal to 4 hours’ work, was made. On top of all this there is perating a wide-spread system of rationing” of labor, the workers los- ing some as much as one week nm every four, The various wage cuts, rationing, tax on wages, and so on, have re- sulted in a slump in earnings of from 30 to 35 per cent. As a result the workers and their families are now in a desperate condition. The loyment position is not im= her, the greater curtail- sulted in greater unemployment. Tens of thousands of men, women, and children are actually starving. About a fifth of the population are in want. Such misery, poverty and hards were never known before.

Prof, McKenna, of Reed College, went on the stand in the afternoon at the request of the defense and tes- tified as to the necessity of under- standing the materialist conception of history in order to know the func- tioning of the C. P, The state did not cross-examine, John Walker, father of the defend- ant went on the stand and told how he had let Fred go into orphanages when a child because he could not support him and how later Fred was taken from him and his wife because of their militant acivities in the S.P., and put in homes when he suffered abuses at the hands of caretakers that affected his normal life for several years. Walker Tells Life Story. The state had read many excerpts of literature and the defense read in the unemployment insurance bill from the pamphlet, “Fight, don’t starve,” and Another War Coming, Lynch Justice, Death Penalty Demanded and many issues of the Daily Worker besides other Itierature, Walker took the stand and related his life story and how by working under unfair conditions and the mis- ery of his early life, he had come to study working class literature and movements, resulting in his joining 1,| the Young Communist League. He related the Communist theory in full detail-and the misery of the colonial and home workers under imperialism was brought out in full detail. The prosecution asked him if he would fight for the S, U. in event of @ war between the U. S. 8, R. and the U. S.

In the manifesto issued by the A.
