The Crisis and Soviet Exports. | It will not be difficult for me to show you the absurdity of such a contention. All that is necessary is to point to the moderate share taken by the Soviet Union in world trade. It must also not be forgotten that not only those markets which absorb Soviet exports are suf- fering from the crisis, but also those mark on which the Soviet Union appears exclusive- ly as a purchaser.

It is & strike against starvation and the miners know that they are fighting for the very existence of themselves and their families. ‘The two weeks of the strike have clearly ex- posed the open strike-breaking of the United Mine Workers of America, and the close alliance of the UMWA fakers with the state and national government and the coal operators. Never be- fore in the history of the class struggle has such open scabbing activity been carried on by an A. F. of L. union. The chief organizers for the union are the coal operators, the mine superin- tendents, the state, the coal and iron police, and the county constables. The cry of the UMWA jhas been “go back to work!” The capitalist press is supporting this scabbery of the United Mine Workers of America. The leading editorial of the Pittsburgh Press of June 6, is entitled “Why not revive the United Mine Workers of Amer- jca?” The entire editorial is in pratse of the UMWA and urges a closer alliance between the operators and the UMWA on the basis of secur- ing peace, and attempts to drive the men back to work at all costs. The editorial praises the sell-out engineered by the UMWA in West Vir- ginia which was one of the most shameful be- trayals in recent years. The agreement signed by the UMWA in West- ern Virginia was for a scale of 30c a ton. The National Miners Union in its strike in Western Pennsylvania is demanding a minimum of 55c¢ a ton. Not only that, but the UMWA agreement provides that every sixty days, the operators shall have the right to change the wage scale in conference with the UMWA fakers. Even the Pittsburgh Press is forced to state “The wage scales are comparatively low.” ‘The edi- ‘orial states “Revival and recognition of the UMWA in the Pittsburgh district would provide a focal point for stabilization within the district. . . « It is much to be preferred to the more radical leadership manifest in the present local strikes.” In Washington County, every house was vis- {ted by police, constables and superintendents of the mines, in a frank recruiting drive for the UMWA. In Hendersonville, as well as a number of other meetings of the UMWA, the meetings were organized by the superintendent of the mine, and the police aided in trying to terror- ize the workers to attend the meeting. The UMWA came to Avella and opened up a S0- called relief station, together with the mine su- perintendents, and offered relief to any miner who would sign an agreement that he would go back to work on Monday. ‘The Department of Labor conciliators are working hand in glove with the police, the UMWA, and the mine operators, in a frantic and desperate effort to prevent the big walkout of June 8, when several thousands of miners were to come out on strike under the banner of the National Miners Union. The miners of Western Pennsylvania know that the strike has developed into a struggle for their very existence, a struggle to keep out the company union of the UMWA which would en- slave them. use of the UMWA, and government conciliators, the National Miners Union has the thousands of strikers solidly behind the union and is quickly spreading the strike. The fact that this strike is a strike carried on by the masses of miners themselves, is demonstrated at every step in the development of the struggle. The local strike committee, which conducts the strike activities locally in the case of every mine on strike, was elected at mass meeting of the strikers. The lo- cal strike committee directs all of the local ac- tivity, including the defense, relief, mass pick- eting, etc. The local strike committee has its delegates on the rank and file district strike committee, which meets regularly and is now composed of nearly 300 strikers. Between meet- ings of the District Strike Committee, the Ex- ecutive Committee of the district strike commit- tee, consisting of 17 strikers, meets. The strike has been conducted from the fixst day, on the basis of picketing and marches on a mass scale. Few strikes in the recent period have involved such large numbers of strikers in the day to day work of the strike. The strikers themselves have proved the best and most effective organizers to spread the strike, and to keep scabs out of the mine. They have shown great initiative in the strike activity. Picket lines have contained as high as 2,000 and 3,000 workers, and every mine at which a march has been held by the strikers so far joined the strike. Mass meetings of 2,500 and 3,000 miners have been held in Washington County on a number of occasions. Strike committees in most cases are maintaining their rigid discipline among the strikers, and those few elements which crept in among the strikers are being quickly weeded out. ‘The miners have quickly developed forces for local leadership. Such strikers as Dan Lane, Porter Davis, and scores of others, who, at the beginning of the strike, could not make a speech, are now becoming regular and fluent speakers at the strikers’ mass meetings. ‘The organization of the picketing, the organ- ization of mass meetings, leaflet distribution, house to house visits, etc., has been capably car- ried on by the local strike leadership and the rank and file miners. In the working up of the demands, also, the the rank and file participated throughout. The demands were first formulated in the scale com- mittee, elected by the first meeting of the Dis- trict Rank and File Strike Committee. The scale committee then brought into the district com- mittee it; recommendations which were care- fully gone over one by one, amended, and finally passed upon. Thus, in the formulation of the demands, all striking mines were represented. The miners not only of Western Pennsylvania, but of Eastern Ohio and West Virginia and other districts, have undoubtedly entered into a bit- ter and sharp struggle against the starvation policy of the bosses. Without doubt the coal operators will use every agency at their disposal against the strikers. The tear gas bombs have been thrown. Many arrests have taken place, evictions have already been carried out, scabs have been brought in in some mines (these scabs from a Daily Worker subscriber in a little Flor- ida town.

But the miners have taken a firm hold of the strike. They realize that the National Miners Union is their union and they are busy organ- izing into local unions, at the same time that they conduct the strike. Thousands of membership books are being given out by the N. M. U. The strikers are building an organization in order to safeguard their struggle. When the terror increases, the miners will be ready to battle heorically. When the pay checks of the miners are ex- amined, and it is found that hundreds of them for the past six months or more have not re- ceived a single cent in cash in their envelopes, then it can be understood why this strike ts literally a strike against starvation. If one goes into the houses of most of the miners and looks into the cupboard, he finds nothing there. Many of the miners’ wives are not able to go on the street because they do not have sufficient clothes. The children of the miners have be- come, in many cases, diseased. Hundreds of miners’ children are actually dying of starva- tion. Many miners have not paid rent for months. Their living standard has been reduced 15 per cent in the last couple of years. The boss condemns thousands of them to work one or two days a week, Fifty per cent of the mines in Western Penn- sylvania are completely shut down. The condi- tions of work are worse than they have ever been. Often the miners are forced to work in water the whole day long. In addition, the cheating of the miners short weighing has be- come a general and common practice. The min- | in the last article. Hs leading candidates for the capitalist par- ties were Bowles, Engel and Judge Murphy. Murphy was an ambitious demagogue who pul forward all sorts of fake slogans about “cleaning up” the city, favoring relief for the unemployed, | and other phrases to catch the votes of the dis- contented workers. Behind Murphy was lined up the Socialist Party, the Ku Klux Klan, the Ford interests and the fascists of the American Legion. One of the leading supporters of Judge Mur- | phy, later Mayor Murphy, was Gerald E. Buck- ley, a radio announcer on station WMBC. Buck- ley made nightly talks favoring Murphy and ex- posing the obvious graft of the ~owles regime. | Meanwhile, Buckley himself was « igned with the leading bootlegging rings in D-troit, For example, the Detroit Times, a Hearst newspaper, which at first supported Bowles, and later be- came one of the staunchest defenders of the Murphy regime, charged Buckley was not only a bootlegger but made money from blackmail. “Buckley also was known as an associate of underworld racketeers,” they said, “and had been accused many times of using the radio for blackmail.” On July 24, Murphy was elected. Gerald Buckley had just finished announcing the elec- tion returns. He was sitting in ‘the lobby of the Hotel LaSalle when three gunmen walked up to him and shot him dead. A hue and cry went up throughout the city, and Mayor Murphy prom- ised a thorough investigation and clean-up of the gangsters. Of course, nothing of the kind happened, or could happen. The gangsters continued to reign as before, supporting the Murphy regime. Mayor Murphy came into office, also, witli the help of Henry Ford. The Ford foremen and superinten- dents, who had #reviously supported the Bowles period, has drawn Negro workers, women work- ers, and young workers into the active partici- pation and leadership. Frank Sepich, organizer for the N. M. U. in Eastern Ohio, told me that young American elements are taking leadership in this strike, more than he has ever observed, and that this strike is being militantly pursued by large masses of miners more than he has ever seen in any strike of the miners. In many strike committees, nearly 50 per cent of the members are Negro workers, and one of the features of the strike is the active participation of Negro and white workers together. Women, as usual, have proved to be among the most mili- tant pickets and women and children partici- pate in large numbers, actively on’ the picket lines. The strike of the miners in Western Pennsyl- vania has sounded a call which will reach every coal mining camp in the country, a call to re- volt against starvation, a call to unite in struggle for decent living conditions, a call which ts bound to receive a warm response from all the mining fields. And this struggle will have its ef- fect not only upon the coal miners. The workers der? First he issued warrants for two Italian gangsters, A. Livechi and T. Pizzano. Instead of directing the fire against the real killers, Murphy turned the whole campaign into an at- tack on the foreign-born workers of Detroit. He used the occasion of the arrest of Livecchi and Pizzano as an excuse to discharge all for- eign-born workers employed by the city, On Feb- ruary 25, 1930, he ordered all foreign-born la- borers dismissed. This was how Murphy was going to “solve” the unemployment problem and to revenge the murder of Buckiey. In October, 1930, Murphy called a grand jury together to “investigate” the Buckley murder. We have already seen what happened to the grand jury investigation in Chicago of police graft under the Thompson-Cermak regime. The | same thing happened in Detroit. The grand jury proceedings brought out piles of evidence linking the police department with graft and gangsters, and for this reason it was ended without any solution of the Buckley murder. However, we get a few interesting sidelights from | the investigation, though most of it was kept | secret. One of the witnesses, a convicted crook by the name of Andrews, told of the connection of the polices department with kidnappers. Here are extracts from his testimony: “When I walked the street a certain officer | always approached me and said ‘give me fifty dollars.’ And I had to give it to him, or go to jail whether he had anything on me or not... “One (police officer) was sore at the other, be- cause he thought he is taking the most of the underworld graft and they had a fist fight over it in Al Thorpe’s saloon... “1 swear that one of the officials of the police department told me once, when I did not give him graft—‘why don’t you pull off some Job and spread a little money around and we will not be throwing you in jail all the time.” ‘This sort of thing, Mayor Murphy did not want the workers to know. So the grand jury investigation ended. ‘There followed in the early ,part of 1931, the trial of Pizzano for the murder of the radio announcer Buckley. But this too was more than Murphy bargained for, as it threatened to reveal the connection between the Murphy administra- tion and the criminals, such as existed in the Bowles’ regime. In the midst of the trial, the prosecuting attorney Toy, was stricken with an unexplained “illness” and the trial was sus - pended indefnitely, While under the Murphy regime not one fot of the underworld is changed, the Socialists praised Mayor Murphy as the Socialist messiah. ‘This was of inestimable value to the big indus- trialists of Detroit, The struggles were growing sharper every day. Wage cut followed wage cut. Unemployed workers were being poisoned by rot- ten food, given out at Mayor Murphy's “charity organizations.” Graft was again allotted to the 15 police precincts, but Mayor Murphy was given a “respectable” front. The New York Socialist paper, the New Lead- er, repeatedly praised Murphy. In this, it was “Aw gwan! There can’t be any war on the Soviet, ‘cause England ‘hates America, and France hates England, and Germany hates France, and Poland hates Germany and Ger- many hates ’em all; while Italy and the Pope can’t agree!” Such are the arguments one can hear from single-track minded folks who simply don’t know what they're talking about. Even the stones ought to realize that just such a campaign against the Soviets as we have now is the plain preliminary to active war and intervention. And war there is certain to be. It is getting to be an accepted idea. Nor are visible signs of pre- paration hard to find. For example, the American steel industry now uses Soviet maganese because it’s the best there is in the world (not because it’s cheaper, or is “dumped;” in fact it costs a higher price, but is worth it). Yet on the Cajuna Iron Range of Minnesota, where there is the biggest deposit of mangan- ese ore in the United States (though a low grade ore), new mines are being dug although only three out of 54 mines are working. The 51 not being worked are now being put into shape for working. Why is this if American imperialism aims to continue trade with the Soviets? If it does not intend to be cut off by war from getting Soviet manganese? More. TheMinneapolis Star on June 1 related how Major Hopley of the War Department was in Minnesota, “has been successful in producing ferro-manganese from low grade ore in Minne- sota, and experimenters are now working tr facilitate this process.” A few days earlier, Minnesota papers told he the War Department was spending $7,500,0 in the state, to make the inland water-way. navigable “for the transport of munitions.” And to make clear that the A. F. of L, is part of the imperialist war machine, the report added: “Organized industry and organized labor are being given their legitimate and all-important place in the scheme of national defense. They are being prepared for the war load that will be thrown upon them in such an event.” So the A. F. of L, is “being prepared” for war. And kindly note that the A. F. of L. pap- ers are filled with anti-Soviet propaganda. Then figure out what all this means.
