Delegate Mike Kukivina, from Local 303, Orient, spoke strongly for the resolution, He ponited out the mis- ery and suffering that exists in the coal fields. He stated that simple talk about unemployment would not help. Action was needed, and this resolution offered definite action. He further stated that this resolution called for a united front of all work- ers organizations to get relief for the jobless miners and workers of Ilinois. Another delegate spoke, stating that the U.M.W.A. was not the only or- ganization on the face of the earth, and that other organizations existed that fought in the interests of the miners and workers, Machine-con- trolled delegates made vcious speeches against this resolution, and against the National Miners Union, A motion made by a delegate to give the floor te a representative of the state committee which is organ- izing the march was not even enter- tained by the chair. One delegate, a machine-man for Buckner, stated that the mayor there had turned over a communication from the State Committee to him, asking his opinion on what action he.should carry out. ‘This delegate reported that he told the mayer not to cooperate in any way with the marchers because it was not approved by the U.M.W.A. and A.

Children Wounded ‘ “It is now known that seven young workers and children were wounded by bullets fired by the policemen, in- cluding a child of seven years.

ROY PELTZ IS RELEASED ON 19- YEAR PAROLE PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 4—Roy Peltz, youthful organizer of the Com- munist Party in Chester, Pa., who was sentenced from one to: twenty years in prison for his activities, was yes- terday released on a 19-year parole. Simultaneously Judge McDade, vicious labor hater, recommended his imme- | diate deportation. Peltz was arrested January 16, 180 | together with Thomas Holmes, for| distributing leaflets at the Vicose (rayon) mills. A jury of business men | found the leaflet “seditious” and Peltz | was sentenced to the Media, County Jail and Holmes sent to the Hunt~ ingdon Reformatory. During his 14 months in jail Peltz was subjected to vicious mistreatment, and often placed in solitary confine- ment for his militancy. The International Labor Defense here which rallied mass support that forced Peltz’s release has arranged for several banquets and mass meet- ings to welcome Peltz back inte the |ranks of the workingclass. A banquet will be held in Washing- ton Friday, June 5, and one in Balti- more on Saturday, June 6. On June 13 a banquet and concert will be held in Boslover Hall, 701 Pine Street, Philadelphia. Philadelphia and Chester workers are urged to attend this concert and give Peltz a welcome home. Detroit Workers Rally To Fight Registration Law (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) and a campaign is being carried on to line up all organizations and the workers generally for the develop- ment of the broadest possible strug- gle. ‘The workers of Michigan must not be deceived by the gestures of the liberal bourgeoisie, who, under the leadership of the Civil Liberties Union, are pretending that the bill| can be disposed of by court action without, the mass protest of the workers. The C. L. U. took out an injunction against the bill, the hear- ing of which comes up on June 22, when the “constitutionality” of the bill will be argued. In the meantime, Mayor Murphy, day night accusations against the po- lice were made by sympathizers who were applauded vociferously by vis- itors to the meeting who jammed the galleries. The court room was also filled with workers while the hearing was going on. Many steel workers have come to the office of the International Labor Defense saying that they would like to help in any possible way but could not offer property bonds because they were agraid of losing their jobs. ‘This fine spirit of the workers has forced the city administration to give @ permit for a protest demonstration this week, although the chief of po- lice has earlier announced that he ‘would use every method to suppress another great “liberal” and a mem- ber of the Executive Board of the N. A. A. C. P., who has used his po- lice to attack Scottsboro defense meetings in this city, spoke from the same platform as Buckers, the author of the bill, and made not the slightest protest against this vicious bill, thus giving it his approval. ‘The workers must be on guard against being lulled to sleep by the reassuring phrases of the liberal bourgeoisie, whose purpose it is, as in the Scottsboro case, td strangle mass protest against this latest at- tack on the working class. They must look behind the “constitution- ality” or “unconstitutionality” of the workers’ demonstrations in the fu- ture. Big Defense Campaign ‘The police further intimate that fascist Legionnaires would be utilized to break up the meeting. ‘The demonstration called by the International Labor Defense will de- mand the release of all prisoners and the ousting of Mayor Heffernan, Chief of Police Lyden and Police Commissioner Olson who himself par- ticipated in the slugging and shoot- ing. Th eILD is planning to mobilize bill and see the class line-up be- hind it. The forces that put through the bill are the motor manufactur- ers of Michigan, the Fish Committee, the A.

Today, as the hearing opens this unity will express itself in scores of new protest telegrams from organ- izations and meetings to Judge J. A. Hawkins at Scottsboro, Ala., and Gov. B. M.

Foster spoke to the strike committee of 275 striking miner delegates. 75 He was received with tremendous enthusiasm by the strik- ers. Foster emphasized the necessity of spreading the strike, and that the control of the strike must be taken over by the broad mass of the workers. “This strike is one of the most important in the his- tory of the miners,” declared Foster. “It marks a turning point in the struggle of the miners and the birth of a fighting National Miners’ Union. It is a new day for the coal miners, “The strike must be won, and it can be won, if the strikers take the operation of the’ strike into their own hand Foster pointed out the difference between the work- ing class manner of running strikes such as in the present strike, and the A.F.L. manner of conducting a strike as in the manner of the United Mine Workers of America. He pointed out that this is the first district where a rank and file committee of miners had ever conducted their own strike. When the Avella delegation of more than 20 arrived in the hall late due to transportation difficulties they were given an enthusiastic ovation, as a tribute to the fighting spirit of the Avella miners. PITTSBURGH, Pa., June 4.—Over 250 dele- | gates representing loce il strike committees, un- |organized and unemployed miners, adopted a |district strike call this afternoon at the first brutally | |receipt of LEWIS DIES IN meeting of the District Strike Committee.
