Y.—That the socialist party is the third capitalist party and is allied with the gangsters and bosses and is the most ruthless tool in the hands of the capitalists against the workers, was apparent at the socialists open air meeting on Mathon Street, Brighton Beach on June 26. Speaks For Bosses. Tired business men grouped around the socialist speaker. Few workers were present. cialists’ talked about the starving miners, ¢- about the wage-cuts, about evictions of workers from their homes, about the finger-printing of foreign-born workers, about the lynch terror in the South? Oh, no! Nothing of the kind. His message was merely this: “The bosses are suffering in this crisis.” His own friend, a rich storekeeper, was driven out of busi- ness by competition. “Thousands 6f respectable lawyers cannot be ad- mitted to the bar. Doctors can’t make a living. The drug store own- ers have to work long hours—why they can’t even afford to close on Yom Kipper (the day of atone- ment).” Two workers objected to the so- cialist speaker and were immedi- ately checked by a gangster. The socialist spoke on: “You may disgrace us; the cops may break up our meetings; the government may persecute us like they did our great socialists, Copernicus and Gallileo, What do you think was the so- indictment against capitalism? Do you think he and throw us into prison, but we lead the world to socialism. Attack Workers. This transparent hypocrisy was too much for me. My blood boiled. I arose my hand to refute his lies. A host of socialists told me to slut up. The socialist gangsters were infuri- ated and be; fighting. A worker received a blow in the stomach. I was chased two blocks. Protected By Cops. Ten minutes later I reappeared, disguised. The meeting was still on. Eight cops were now protecting the socialist meeting. At the end of the meeting, when a worker asked the speaker why in Germany the so- cialists killed workers, the worker was assailed; they called him a for- eigner and asked whether he was a citizen of this country. Workers must know their enemies and fight them. The socialists are the most vicious enemies of the wi IL working class, Miner Tells of Strikebreaking Role of A. F. L. Clovendale, Dear Comrades :— We miners came out on strike against starvation and wage cuts. ‘The bosses cut the wages so low we could not make any money. T am a single man and could not make enough to pay my board and other expenses. I have worked at Cloverdale since October 1, 1929. I owe money for my board ever since. ‘The only money I've seen is script. Pa. “This money was spent only in the company store where the prices are very high. Instead of the company owing the workers money, the work- ers owe the company money. In 1925 I paid $10 to join the U. M. W. A., because John L. Lewis had signed an agreement with the bosses so that no worker who didn’t join the UMWA could work in the mines. Under the agreement Ne- gro and Italian workers were kept out. I paid dues every pay day, but when we went on strike against another wage cut in 1927, the UMWA officials weren’t around and didn’t show up until right now. Now they are trying to break this strike. All of the men are now picketing with the National Miners Union, and their women and children are right on the picket line with them. Some of them haven't even shoes and clothes and they haven't enough food, but we are going to picket and fight the wage cut and starvation system of the bosses, the state police and the UMWA until we win. We're with the NMU for workers solidarity. —A Striking Miner Racine Workers Quit “Socialists” for Unem- ployed Council MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Recently in Racine, Wisconsin, a Socialist mayor, also American Legion member, Swo- boda, was elected. Under the spell of the demagogy of sheriff Benson and mayor Hoan, “socialist” of Mil- waukee, many misled workers joined the Socialist Party. One worker of Racine, who never had heard of a real workers move- ment, nevertheless easily saw thru the fake promises of the “Socialist” and refused to have anything to do with them. He told 5 or 6 friends of his who had joined, they might as well belong to the Republican or Democrats, and smoke cigars till they smoke out their brains, for all three of these parties were for the bosses, not the workers. “You must join some organization that stands for action for the work- ers,” he told them. Then the pre- Pparations began for the Hunger March to Madison, June 13-16. As soon as this worker heard of this, he said: “Thre’s your action, that’s what we have to do instead of listening to the promises of the Socialists. We all should go on this Hunger March!” So all the 5 or 6 workers quit the Socialist Party and joined the Hun- ger March. Now they have come back from the march determined to build strong Unemployed Councils and carry out the struggle in Racine for real relief for the unemployed, against the bosses and their Socialist agents. Hinkle Iron Co. Tricks Workers Into Wage-Cut (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK, N. Y¥.—The Hinkle Iron Construction Company at 504 W. 56th Street, claimed to its em- Ployees that it lost money on the job, and said it would either move or go out of business. Many of the tools were packed and many of the men were laid off for four or five weeks. Then this company sent for some of its workers who had been laid off and took some of them back at reduced wages. The laborers’ and helpe-s’ wages were cut from $27 a week to $22 and $20 a week and the ones hired were speeded-up and forced to do two and three men’s work. Bonno, the shop foreman, has a habit of borrowing money from the workers and forgetting to pay it back, He also likes his booze and wine, and if you want to hold your job you are expested to see that he is supplied with free booze. ‘The workers in this shop should organize under the banner of the Trade Union Unity League, whose headquarters is at 16 West 2lst St., and put a stop to these intolerable conditions. WIDESPREAD WAGE SLASHES REVEALED BY SURVEY Forty-two per cent of manufac- turers have put wage cuts into ef- fect in their plants during the pres- ent crisis, according to a recent sur- vey of Charles FE. Bedaux and Co. of N. ¥., Inc, The average wage cut was ten per cent but actual wage cuts ran from 5 per cent to 23 per cent. This does not, however, reveal the actual cuts that the working class has been get- ting in its living standards. These wage cuts in the survey do not take any account of the ten billion un- employed, nor of the millions who are working on part time, two or three days a week. The figures in the survey deal only with the wage cuts per hour that the workers have received for the time that they hap- pen to be working. Federal Reserve Shows Slashes The figures of the Federal Reserve showed that in the year ended this past March, there was a decline of over twenty-four per cent in the amount of payrolls. This. does not § take account of the wage cuts before March, 1930 or those since March, 1931. The wage cutting campaign is go- ing on. From all over the country there come reports of wage slashes, Wages that are already miserably low are being cut closed to the starvation line. But with the re- ports of further wage slashes there céme also the reports of ‘tesistance to those attacks by the workers— strikes against wage cuts. The work- ers are determined to fight back the onslaught of the bosses. While the wage cutting campaign goes on the bosses are preparing to attack the Soviet Union as another way to save the profits which have been cut in the present crisis. The working class is just as determined to fight back the bosses in defense of the Soviet |Woll Calls for War .Against the USSR Matthew Woll speaking in Jer- sey City, a few months ago: “The Soviet regime is bent on destroy- ing human relationship, the mor- als, and the religions of the peo- ple, and all conceptions of a Cre- ator. The Soviets will destroy things that have taken centuries to build. The culture of the Com- munist is that of the beast and the jungle.” Lord Brentford speaking on “slave labor” in London on March 6, 1931; “Are we, a Christian, ci- vilized national, to stand by while these things are pethey done?” COUNCIL BRINGS RELIEF IN BALT. BALTIMORE, Md. June 26.—Or-/| ganized under the leadership of the Baltimore Unemployed Council, 60 men, women and children invaded the office of the Family Welfare Association and forced this bosses institution to grant relief to three | families who were in dire need, Roy Howell, representing the Smithson St. Branch of the Unem- ployed Council, presented the indi- vidual cases of the three needy fam- ilies. “Clarence eNal is in immediate need of a basket of food. His wife, two children and himself are in need of pairs of shoes, Philip Rich. 1044 Stockton St., has a family of four children and wife. They need food immediately. Their condition is leaving the road open for sickness and starvation. The father has been out of work for some time and is unable to find any em- ployment. Elizabeth Hayman is taking care of a child that was forced upon her by the Welfare Board on the con- dition that the Welfare board would furnish the child with the necessities of life. The Welfare Board has not given one thing as yet. Mrs. Eliz- abeth Hayman is in the same desper- ate straits as the other two cases. However, she asks only for clothes and shoes that the boy is in dire need. of.” He explained that the workers came to demand that food, clothing and other necessities of life be given to these immediate cases. The of- ficials of the Welfare Association were totally upset. by these demands. They tried to intimidate the com~ mittee by calling the police and the mayor’s office. Failing in’ these these methods they then tried to bribe Howell and other leading mem- bers of the committee by offers of personal relief to them. Howell then MORE MINERS STRIKE IN PENNSYL- VANIA; BUILD N. M. U.; EXPOSE U. M. W. STRIKE-BREAKING ROLE BROWNSVILLE, Pa., June 30—On Saturday, Walnut Hill mine with 130 working struck fifty percent, and the rest are expected out today. A mass march on Clyde No. 2 and No. 3 of the Rainey Coal Co., and on Char- tiers mine (near where Thornton was shot the day before) took place Sat- urday, and brought out more men. The march will be repeated daily untill they are all out. The last of 68 workers in the Al- bany mine came out today, and the place is shut down. ‘This morining, strikers marched on Taylor mine, near Brownsville, and brought out all but 18 day shifts of 150 men. These 18 were personally solicited, (threatened and probably bribed) by the superintendent of the mine. They went to work with an escort of troopers. The night shift of 150 men had already promised to strike if the day shift struck, and it is expected they will be out tonight, thus closing down the mine. In Vesta No, 5, near California, all are on strike. with 1,500 workers. The superintend- ent, Joe Edwards has been told by the company that he will get $1,000 bonus if he breaks the strike within ten days, and he will be fired if he does not break it. He is offering $100 bribes to the local strike leaders explained that the relief must be given to the needy families and that nobody would leave the room unless this relief was forthcoming. While Howell was presenting the demands he was continuously interrupted by the Welfare officials who became sore at the charges brought forward by the workers’ committee. The militancy of the workers final- ly forced the officials of the Welfare Association to grant relief. One fam- ily was handed a slip for food and clothes while the other two fam- ilies were also informed to appear for their portion of food. All the demands of the committee were granted. ‘The Family Welfare Association is operated by the city through the Community Pund. The Smithson Unemployed Street Branch was or- ganized last week at an eviction case. Over 35 workers joined the branch at the first meeting had participated in preventing the constable from evict- ing an whemployed worker. The branch is new registering more cases of needy families which will be taken before the Family Welfare Associa- tion. Brand Strike-Breaker Pinchot; Mass Ohio March on July 6 (CONTINURD FROM PAGE ONT) junction! Down with the United Mine Workers of America! Down with Pinchot’s murdering cossacks. Down with the yellow dogs! (deputy sheriffs).” The marchers sang “Solidarity Forever,” “Hold the Fort,” etc. The parade passed the railroad yards and shops, yelling to the road workers massed to view it, “Do not haul scabs or scab coal!” They passed the headsuarters of the Association for Improvement of the Poor, and shouted, “Relief, not charity!” They passed many facto- ries and were cheered by the work- ers. In the windows were tens of thousands of workers as the hunger march passed. Thousands lined the sidewalks while the long parade oc- cupied the streets. Many jotned the parade as it progressed. The first estimate was 20,000 in the parade, the biggest and most drama- tic demonstration of workers ever seen here. Hundreds of police massed on the side streets to prevent the pa- rade from turning toward the County Building. Motorcycle cops rushed from street to street to be between the head of the parade and the County Building, at all times. Many Placards. The committee elected by the mass meeting included Helen Lynch, a Ne- gro woman of a miner's family at Carnegie; also a white woman. Half of the parade was composed of mins ers; the rest were mostly steel work- ers. The placards bore the slogans: “We strike for 55 cents a t “We strike against starvation!” “We women re- fuse to starve in the wealthiest coun- try in the world!” “We demand checkweighmen!” “We Creighton strikers fight starvation or any fake agreements of the United Mine Workers of America!” “We are for the National Miners Union!” “Join the Metal Workers League!” “Join the Unemployed Councils!” The resolution adopted by the 20,- 000 workers at the demonstration states: “The unemployed masses of | workers and strikers who are starv- “ing, fight for the right to live.

The resolution showed up and branded the trick- ery of the UMWA, which it said were acting as fascists, together with the gunmen and coal companies in an effort to smash the strike. ‘The resolution closed with the de- mand for immediate relief. Early in the day the Pittsburgh police department mobilized 32 po- lice squad cars, completely armed; hundreds of cops on foot and horse- back. as well as on motorcycles were gathered at various points at which the demonstration was scheduled to pass. At first the police order was to prohibit the marching from the city limits to West Park. But thousands upon thousands of workers pored in and Chief of Police Walsh, who was personally in charge of the police mobilization, yielded to the pressure of the demonstrators, asking that the parades be kept on the side- walks. Coverdale and Caste Shannon miners, mostly from the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Co. mines, where the battle is especially intense, and where the United Mine Workers is doing its most active scabbing, were the first to reach the city. They ar- rived at 9:30 in the morning, singing strike songs, waving banners with slogans demanding immediate relief, against the “yellow dogs,” deputy sheriffs, against the state troopers, against Governor Pinchot’s fakery; for mass picketing, and calling on the employed and unemployed to rally behind the struggle of the 40,- 000 striking miners. Steady detachments of workers marched in from then on. They kept pouring in all forenoon. The demands presented to the County government are as follows: 1) Ten dollars a week for each un- employed worker and striker, and $5 additional for each dependent. 2) No evictions of unemployed or strikers. Free gas, light and heat for unemployed and strikers. 3) Free food for all children of the unemployed and strikers. Free milk for all babies. 4) Immediate withdrawal of all armed forces, state police, county deputies, UWMA gangsters, ete., from the strike area, 5) Immediate release of all arrest- ed strikers in Allegheny County. 6) Abolition of the injunction against the striking coal miners.

The UMWA made its scab agreement to the ac- compainment of loud shouts that the “normal scale” had been preserved. An obliging, and equally strike-break- ing capitalist press declared that this meant 45 cents a ton, what the miners were getting from this |com- |pany before the strike, and against which the strikers place a demand | for 55 cents. | ‘The demand of the Pittsburgh Ter- minal for a 42 and one-half cent rate Pursglove-Murray conference Harrisburg week before last pretend- ed to be deadlocked. Those who went back to work un- der the U. M. W. agreement were assured by local U. M. W. officials that the contract was for 45 cents. And the company officially credits them with 45 cents a ton—but|—it checks off for payment of the United Mine Workers check weighman |the sum of two and a half cents a ton. does not) this checkweighman in most of the large mines is getting wages of about a thousand dollars every two weeks. There is a general understanding in the community that of this two and a half cents a ton, the company gets one cent back, Fa- gan, district president of the U. M. W., gets one cent, and the check- weighman gets half a cent for read- ing the scales so that the company will make more money than it ever did before. And even on this short weight, the miners are actually getting forty-two and a half cents a ton for coal, scab coal. Which proves abundantly the contention of the National Miners Union at the time the Pinchot-Purs- glove-Murray conference was broken off, that the reason for breaking it off was. not the desire the U. M. W. pretended to, of fighting. the wage cut. Pursglove, president of Pitts- burgh Terminal then demanded the 42 and a half cent rate, and Murray, of the U. M. W. declared that the U. M. W. would never accept it. The National Miners Union declared that neither the U. M. W. nor the com- pany would stop negotiations for a strike-breaking agreement over two and a half cents, and that this was only a bluff to try and raise the pres- tige of the U. M. W. and open the way for an agreement later and a wage cut. Everything has worked out that way. Meanwhile the Pittsburgh Terminal workers, those who have yielded to the U. M. W. swindle, find themselves with two wage cuts instead of one— a direct wage cut of two and a half cents a ton, and an indirect wage cut at the scales on the tipple. . 8 @ TARENTUM, Pa., June 29. — 30 U.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., June 29.—An- other meeting was held yesterday at Harmerville, in which also a mobili- zation took place for the hunger march. At both these meetings, and many others in steel towns not yet reported on, the question of relief for the striking miners was brought up. Con- tributions were made by the crowd, and at Harmerville, the Women’s Auxiliary ‘of the National Miners Union js arranging a dance for re- lief on Saturday night. At the Ambridge meeting the pic- nic funds were turned over to the Daily Worker, and a special collec- tion was made for the striking min- ers’ relief.

One of them was exposed publicly, and immediately slunk from the meeting. aa OG, f RENTON, Pa., June 29. — Workers selling or distributing the Dally Worker in certain parts of the strike area are threatened with deportation by the state police whom Governor Pinchot said would “protect” the right of free speech and “protect the strikers even from the deputies.” One striking miner at Renton was arrest- ed and sentenced to ten days in jail for distributing the Daily Worker from door to door.

The pickets were rushed by the yellow dogs just as they were getting out of the trucks Many were beaten up by deputies who caught and clubbed them after the gas scattered them. Half a dozen were arrested. At the same time 150 marching from Cokesburg Junction were met at the borough line by coal and iron police armed with all possible weap- ons from machine guns to blackjacks. ‘The pickets marched three times up to the borough line but could not get across. ‘Two hundred men from Bentley- yille, trying to reach the Ellsworth picket line were stopped just before they reached the borough line, with its menacing force of coal and iron police. The marchers were stopped by the Pinchot state cops, and a lieut~ enant of state police made them a@ demagogic speech, saying “We can’t help you if you go up there, where the cod] and iron police will mow you down with machine guns, etc., etc.” But both state and company police barred the way to Ellsworth mine. eke Tie SPRINGDALE, Pa., June 29.—The United Mine Workers got together some 25 men here, part of them non miners and part of them brought in to hold this particular meeting.
