The lay off was the heaviest in the first two weeks of June, All avail- sble forces of the Ford Motor Com- jany were mobilized to handle the Atuation, such as doctors from the ; lactory hospital, service men, ete. | There were so many fired that it was | impossible for the workers to get | their pay for three or four days. Workers were compelled to wait in the line all day only to get their tool clearance okeyed, then they were told to come and get their pay two or three days after. The long wait- ing in line, made the workers rest- |less and besides that, they were mishandled by Ford Service men and reports that disturbance occurred at several occasions, each time the workers collectively booing service men. Dearborn city police were called to establish “order,” besides the Ford private police. The lay off is still going on.

It points out that this was the reason at first why the Councilmen | refused to listen to the demands. They were forced to listen to the demands, however. The demonstration was brought about through the activity of mem- bers of the Unemployed Council at the Fisher Body Emergency Ledge on Sunday evening, July 5, when they succeeded in getting between 500 and 600 men to come to a meet- ing at Clark Park a few blocks away from the Lodge. Notices had been pasted in the Emergency Lodge to the effect that on Monday morning it would close down, and all men over 35 years of age only would be given any assist- ance—sent to the Eloise Hell Hole, where the most intolerable condi- tions exist. The men who came to the meet- ing at Clark Park were told through Comrade Reynolds, who was the main speaker, to demonstrate at the City Hall the next morning and bring down with them their personal be- longings, suitcases, ete. Close to a thousand workers were at the City Hall on Monday morning with their belongings and listened to Comrades Schmies and Reynolds, also speakers from their own committee which was set up. The attempt of Mayor Mur- phy to rob these homeless men of the leadership, which had been respon- sible for the demonstration, failed. ‘The men decided unanimously that Schmies and Reynolds be on the Committee when they go before the City Council at 2 pm. The Fisher Body Lodge is now open again, a | vietory for the Unemployed Coun~- cL. Forty striking pictures of work- ing class struggle in the July Labor Detendes, | forced back by terror and the UMW | agreement was going to take place. | This strike started on a large scale |this morning, when four hundred men out of the 600 working at Pitts- burgh Terminal Mine No. 8, Cover- dale, refused to go in, The couple of hundred who did go in assured the pickets that they went only to get their tools out. All day they have | been trooping out in groops of a dozen or so, and the mine bids fair to be shut down during the day. In any event, a heavy mass picket line of the local strikers, both those who quit today and those who never did go back under the UMW slave con- tract, will be reinforced by marching pickets, from all the mines around, and when this line appears tomor- row morning, Coverdale mine will be shut down for sure. Then the same concentration will take place at the other Pittsburgh Terminal Mines, and the men working in them have already pledged to walk out when the march takes place. “The re-striking of the Pittsburgh Terminal, after every possible trick and act of violence by state and com- pany and the public press has been exercised to break the strike evactly in these mines as a beginning to breaking it in the rest of the field— will be of incalculable importance. It must be remembered that this UMW contract involved the artificial revival of the United Mine Workers of ‘America by direct interposition of | the governor of the state, Both the U.M.W. and Pinchot will suffer such a blow to their prestige by the re- striking of the mines that they will not soon recover fromm it. Watch the news from the Pittsburgh Ter- minal Mines. The strike-breaking forces know very well that the fight in the Pitts- burgh Terminal is crucial.

Pinchot poses as a liberal, but lets the state troopers and sheriffs smash picket lines and evict the striking miners, Similarly he sees the mass pressure of the hunger marches in ‘Washington and Alleghenny coun- ties, and knows that other are to come, and desires to make a liberal gesture, passing the buck to the Red Cross, instead of moving for an ap- Propriation by the state to give food to hungry children. The Red Cross has already announced that it will give no food. A high point in the sessions of the Central Rank and File Strike Com- mittee was the appearance of the fast of the released Wildwood pris- oners, out on bail. Their spokesman declared, while all stood on the plat- form, that they did not go to jail for fun, but in the fight for bread and butter fo rthemselves and their fam- ilies, and for the same reason were willing to go again. ‘The strike committee endorsed the decisions and executive and dis- trict secretary elected by the con- vention of women’s auxiliaries held here July 3. William W. Weinstone, appearing as the representative of the Gommu- nist Party, addressed the Central Rank and Pile Strike Committee, bringing greetings from the Party, | and pointing out that the Commu- nist Party is the Party of the work- ers, fighting all their battles, aiming to unite the workers in the present fight against the bosses’ drive to re- duce the workers to starvation. The how capitalist papers lie about their | 6,500 striking miners and their fam- strike, and remember they will hardly tell the truth about the Com- munist Party, or its aims and ob- | jects. Read the Daily Worker, of- ficial organ of the Communist Party, which not only supports the strike, but gives the facts about the Com- munist Party. Communists are the most active in the strike and in mobilization of relief. But there are not enough Communists in the coal fields. All revolutionary miners are invited to join the Communist Party.” The speech of the representative of the Communist Party met wth great applause, and rank and file Speakers in the discussion declared their sympathy with its aims, and delight at the clarification brought about by the speech.

July 9. — Mayor Stump, “socialist” mayor, personally ordered police to break up 2 meeting of the Trade Union Unity League and the Communist Party, called to demand a permit to collect relief for the striking miners and to pro- tst the arrest of Frank Fisher, previ- ously arrested for collecting relief.

Dantel Whit- man upon orders from the mayor. Stump refused last week to per- mit the Trade Union Unity Lea- gue to collect funds for the miners in Reading, claiming that “Commu- nists collect money for the benefit of the workers and spend it on pro- paganda.” Equipped with tin cans bearing Inbels: “Help the Starving Miners”, and identified with arm bands with the same slogan, Fisher and three others solicited on the | street.
