It paved the way for similar action by the federal government, on a national scale, “The newspapers have been urging such a move on president Hoover since the strike started. Now they announce that Hoover is sympathe- tic to the proposal, that secretary of Labor Doak indirectly calls the con- ference by asking the operators to re- quest it of him, that the department of commerce is working on it. Senator Davis of Pennsylvania, states clearly what the others hint, that this con- | ference will trustify the industry, will hand over the small companies to the | great concerns. These big companies | are in control of the steel trust, the big railroads, the bankers—of Mellon, |of Taplan interests, Paisley interests, jetc. They are profitable even where | the coal company books do not show @ profit, because they sell in their own market and their profits show on the books of the steel and railroad companies, show as interest on their bonds in bank vaults. “Into the hands of these great coal companies, the proposed Hoover-Doak operators and the U. M. W. confer- ence would place the whole coal in- dustry, with the power of the federal government to back them. “Our experience with the Pinchot agreement indicates that the federal plan includes the use of the United Mine Workers’ as a cover behind which to swing the whole state power into strike-breaking, into attacks on the thousands who reject the UM, W. and are striking against starvation.

A, program for a national conference would involve the addition of the U. S. cavalry and the U.

M. W., is used in such govern- |mental scab agreements as a cover under which new wage cuts and more starvation are enforced by a savage police terror, by tear gas, clubs and guns, by beating and slugging the men, women and children, by arrests and jail terms, and by wholesale evictions of strikers from their homes. | “This conference is a part of the Hoover wage-cutting, speed-up, ratio- nalization drive. The main signifi- cance of this conference is that the U, M. W., is the principal instrument by which Hoover and the operators intend to rationalize the coal industry and crush the miners into deeper misery. The United Mine Workers has never done anything for the min- ers for years but to sell them out and smash every attempt to fight wage cuts, and it is therefore hated and repudiated by every one of the 40,000 miners now on strike and by the miners of the rest of the coal fields, jas is proved by their continuous revolt against the U. M. W. A. officials. “We will not stand for any attempt of the United Mine Workers to claim to represent the miners in the fede- ral confenence on the coal industry. We will picket the conference with every miner and miner's wife and child, who can get to Washington on time. We will hold a mass demon- stration in Washington to expose this new government strike-breaking and the treachery to the miners of the United Mine Workers of America.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 5—The | Lamont-Hoover-Doak coal operators *and UMW national strike breaking conference continues to absorb the attention of the capitalists of this section. There is no doubt that this | conference is the continuation, in a | in the Pittsburgh | Terminal Coal Co. mines, shows that | | centralized, determined manner, with the labor-hating Hoover administra- tion as the pivot around which eyery- thing moves, to forcibly rationalize the coal industry, and starve out of it some half million miners. The opposition of the small companies which Mellon, Taplin, and Morgan- Baker interests will take over, is not going to count for much, The fact that Lamont is brought into this, issuing the formal call for the pre- liminary meeting, is significant, as Morgan and Mellon dominate the coal fields and Lamont is a member of, the house of Morgan. The date of the preliminary con- ference, set now tentatively for July 9, is chosen to anticipate action of the national conference of miners, called by the Central Rank and File Strike Committee of the National Miners Union, to meet in Pittsburgh duly 15 and 16. The capitalist press here makes no secret of the reason why the con- ference, like the Pinchot scab con- vention in Harrisburgh, will try to revive the U.M.W. Says Hearst’s Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph, editor- jally, today: “Mr. Lewis desired such @ parley three years ago, but was unable to get it because of the sus- Picion of the coal operators. The operators at that time had just se- vered contractual relations with the union and were preparing to run open shop .. . But... while the United Mine Workers was dealt a severe blow, the radical National Mine Workers has sprung up, to ha- rass the operators. This seems a Propitious time for a parley.” The Scripps-Howard Pittsburgh Press today has a special article on the front page, signed by a regular staff member which says: “The same operators who defeated the United Mine Workers of America in 1927 would like to return to the union fold as the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Corporation, second largest com- mercial producer in Pittsburgh did ten days ago. They fear the left wing leadership of the National Min- ers Union, rival of the United Mine Workers, so much they are willing to forget their old war with the Franeaee!

That the women strongly felt the strike and were playing a courageous, effective part and frequently took the lead where the men hesitated, was made apparent by many color- ful and militant speeches by miners’ wives and daughters. “I've never seen so many women at a conference before,” said Mrs. Harkoff of Avella. “And so many Negroes. What's bringing them? Conditions! The bosses are forcing us to organize!” When the UMW organizer came to Creighton to try to get a few miners to sign the agreement they were cooking up to sell out the strike the women got wind of it. “The men seemed to think that tis only the big fakers of the UMW that does all the damage and lets the peanut Fa- gan come into camp and hold meet- ings to try to get our men to scab,” one Creighton woman declared. “But when we heard about that meeting in the firehouse, we went right down there, with the kids and all. Some of the men came and knocked at the door. They had it locked, But we women just push- ed up the windows and told them, “You're a bunch of fakers and can’t force us back to work with a million scab agreements!” So the meeting broke up and when the handful of them came out we told them, ‘You're scabs! Every single man who goes back on us gets his head knocked off! We ain’t wanting any scab agreements signed up for our men who ain’t got no truck with that boss stool pigeon outfit, the UMW!

The next day 15 white and 15 colored fellows were on their way to work, But there was 500 of us picketing—they didn’t get into the mine. Again they tried to open the mine and then they quit trying. No chance of our boys going back to 30 cents a ton!” How to make the auxiliaries func- tion more affectively, picketing, house to house organizing work, re- lief collection and distribution, chil- dren's work, were all dealt with ef- fectively by Caroline Drew. She stressed the permanent work of the auxiliaries which must continue aft- er the strike. “The company doesn't only rob the men on rates in the pits, but also in the company stores they charge us twice as much for food, We must boycott company stores and wipe them out, Then we must demand decent houses, not those company shacks, and sanitation.

The International La- bor Defense immediately took up his defense, We stopped out, Duquesne for ten minutes, breaking ranks. Many motorists stopped to ask the reason for the march and when told they donated money, took our litera~ ture and said, “Good! That's what we need.” ‘We entered Homestead at 10:30. The people lined the street, cheered us and donated money for relief of the striking miners. The spirit of the marchers was excellent. But we were still brightened up more when we saw the smoke stacks of the mills on the south side of Pittsburgh. (There was no smoke belching from them.) At the city limits of Pittsburgh we were met by police in a radio car the miners had al~ ready left Pittsburgh, but we knew this to be the bunk. We marched on. There was never a happier group of workers than when the McKeesport section marched into West Park. The McKeesport section again marched in the big Pittsburgh parade after marching 25 miles in 5 hours. We do not intend to rest after this march; we will continue chop- ping the ice until our task is done. of (By a Worker Correspondent.)
