On the West Virginia side 18 strike commit- | tee members and active union members are | held in the Wellsboro jail on $2,500 bail each | charged with conspiracy to commit assault. | Among them are Alex Dorsey, Negro miner, chairman of the section Rank and File Strike Committee, and Maurer, president of Local Union 41 of the N. M. U. No sooner are these 18 leaders held, out of a ¥tal of 85 arrested last Tuesday, than the sher- }° of Brooke County issues a decree that there ull be no more picketing in his territory. A Speket lines will be broken up and all pickets rested, he says. Picketing Banned in W. Va. Farther down the river, in the mining areas | {n Ohio county, of which Wheeling is the | county seat, the sheriff and state cossacks have | decreed that no more than five can be on any | picket line, and that these five pickets must stay at certain spots carefully chosen by the sheriff—in cooperation with the mine superin- tendents. ‘Three of the five must be able to read and write English. This ruling would be tough on the native born miners—if rigidly enforced. Strikebreaking Conferences. These new strikebreaking acts and edicts fol- low closely the holding of two conferences in Wheeling this week, attended by, according to the Wheeling Register, “city, state and couny law enforcement agents, representatives of the coal corporations of the county, labor officials | and business men” meeting in the courthouse. | The Register reports further: “A plan of pro- cedure is reported to have been drawn at the meeting, and it was agreed not to recognize the National Miners’ Union which is held responsi- ble for many.disorders here.” “The group is reported to have taken steps to prevent the formation of mobs in the vicinity of the various mines in the county at which strikes prevail. It was proposed to limit the number of pickets.” A. F. L. Leaders Plot Scabbery. As one would expect at such a strikebreaking conference of small town fascists, the local of- ficials of the American Federation of Labor ‘were present—and in favor of everything. The Wheeling Register, pleased as Punch that the conference had official “labor” endorsement, states with a frankness that is bound, with a little help from the N. M. U., to cause no little embarrassment to these A. F. L. strikebreakers | among the Ohio Valley workers, that “among | others attending the conference was John Easton, president of the West Virginia Federa- tion of Labor, and Harry W. Norrington of the | Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assembly.” What the Home Folks Are Doing. To show that it lives up to the motto over Preparing the Army to |. Shoot American Workers ‘Abandoning’ Military Posts—1913. | July 14, 1913: “Secretary Garrison—is of the opinion that the abandonment of useless mili- tary stations and the concentration of the | military forces at fewer posts will be a long step forward in increasing the efficiency of the army.” Preparing Military Posts—1931—Against the Workers. | “Abandonment of some of the minor army posts throughout the country for the sake of econonty....is being considered by the admin- istration as a result of the week-end conference between President Hoover and War Depart- | ment officials at the Rapidan Camp. | “Stations near large cities, although some are small will not be disturbed according to offi- cials.

Y.

Their first public appearanse in connection with the heroic struggle of thousands of workers, a struggle marked by brutality and arrests without pre- cedent in the Ohio Valley, is at 2 strike- breaking conference of coal operators, police and, stool-pigeon lawyers of the operators. Organizing For the Operators. To complete the indictment of the A. F. L. and U. M. W. A. offici: from the mouths of their friends and colleagues it is fortunate that we have in the form of testimony from one Jack Colbertson, chief deputy of Jefferson Coun- ty, further evidence of the connection between these labor traitors and the bosses. Holding Paul Bohus, Joe Chandler, Son Johnson and Stanley Mellion at the point of a machine gun on the Yorkville road today, Colbertson said, among other useful statements which will be made public at the proper time and place: “You fellows ain't got a chance. It's all fixed. Cinque is being paid by the operators to make speeches ana get the men back to work. It’s money that counts and you fellows ain’t got no money.” Albert Cinque is district president of the U. M. W. A. What are the conditions of the miners that these A. F. L. and U. M. W. A. officials, and to main- tain? The answer is given by the pay state- ment of Joe Smith, cne of 29 Negroes brought’ into Elm Grove since the strike. They worked a month, were never let out of the bull pen, but finally ran the gauntlet of mine guards and quit. They toid John Rollins, a Negro member of the district rank and file strike committee, that Smith's pay statement was typical. It is: For loading 126 tons of coal, . $42.50 Checked Off—Bus fare 3.00 Board soe 20.80 Company Store Bill . 12.92 Balance due (month’s work) $5.80 Since strikebreakers usually get no worse, and generally a little better wages and working con- ditions #Han the strikers had, especially when the strike remains strong, it is not hard to see from the above statement that the present strike is actually against starvation. It is also not hard to see that Easton, Norrington and Cinque, hewing closely to the line of President Green of the A. F. of L., Vice President Mat- thew Woll, John L. Lewis, the Fish Commis- sion, the National Security League, the Amer- ican Legion, Hoover, Mellon, Lamont, Doak and Company, are trying to save the miners from the National Miners’ Union—and Communism—by perpetuating the same starvation and slavery | which produced the present revolt. Exposing the Traitors. Picketing has not been stopped by the deci- sions of the strikebreaking conference in Wheel- ing. But the presence of local A. F. L. offi- cials and the sanction given it by U. M. W. A. | officials, who tomorrow, with the blessing of coal operator Constanzo and the protection of the state police and special deputies, will try | to hold a meeting at Warwood, has given the N. M. U. a splendid opportunity to make clear the scab role of these traitors and broaden the whole base of the struggle in connection with the fight against imperialist war and the anti- war meeting in Wheeling on August 1, to make clear the connection of the miners’ strike with mass unemployment and the bad conditions of the workers in and around Wheeling. Two Kinds of Guts. The facts set forth above will be published in leaflet form and the Wheeling area covered with them. A mass march of miners is being prepared which will go through every mining camp from Moundsville and Elm Grove, up from Wheeling, to Colliers, just across the Pennsyl- vania line, Hunger and starvation do not produce the bloated bellies possessed by these crawling things called “labor leaders” that creep into conferences with the coal operators and the or- ganizers of their strikebreaking machinery. But they do produce, with the aid of class struggle unionism based on the unity of all workers against all enemies, a @ifierent kind of. guts— the kind the miners and their families are displaying in this struggle, the kind of guts that is exposing and smashing by disciplined mass action the scabbery of the A.

Labor Herald Admits U. T. W. Misleaders Nearly Ousted trom : Control | of Strike in Cleveland By L. MARTIN. CLEVELAND, Ohio—-Edgar E. Adams of the Cleveland Hardware Co. is a prominent figure on Matthew Woll’s committee of 100 driving for war on the Soviet Union. This same Adams is also chairman of the Cleveland Community Fund. He manages very successfully to com- bine the jobs of exploiter of labor, social dema- gogue, foe of the Soviet Union and would-be war-profitecr. By studying the motives and ac- tivities of this capitalist. leader, Cleveland 1 demonstrations against the threatening at- tacks on the Soviet Union are linked up with their own immediate struggles against increas- ing capitalist misery. Woll's anti-Soviet committee “seeks, among other things, the proclamation and enforce- ment of an international boycott against Soviet goods and the organization of commercial, moral and patriotic forces in a campaign of resistance against Soviet political and economic encroachments,” according to Woll himself. Why is Mr. Adams so interested in this “interna- tional boycott’ and this “campaign of’ resis- tance”? For one thing, because he knows that these are barely concealed war moves, de- signed to line up the capitalist powers in an attempt to overthrow workers’ rule in the So- And war would not be exactly a calamity for Mr. Adams’ big hardware plant, which is only working part time at present. Doubtless his plant plays a strategic part in the War Department's plans, already laid (and even reported by the Chamber of Commerce in its own publication) for turning industrial plants to the production of munitions and other war necessities at a moment's notice when war. is declared. Through his other racket, the Community Fund, Mr. Adams is also interested in a “war on the Reds.” In the Soviet Union, unemployed, sick, aged and destitute workers are not left to the tender mercies of mean, mercenary, soup- line “charity,” paid for by workers on pain of losing their jobs and administered by capitalists to maintain themselves in power. There every worker is entitled, without any docking of his wages, to all forms of social insurance, proper medical attention when sick, a pension when | too old to work and other benefits which make “charity” unnecessary. If the American workers once get wise to what the working class can do for themselves once they have seized power, as in the Soviet Union,.that’ll be an end to the Community Fund racket, Adams fears. Adams also realizes that it is only the Com- munists who have exposed the Cleveland char- ity racketeers, demanding that they furnish adequate relief and cease their discrimination against Negroes and radical workers. Then too it is only the Communists, who have carried on an aggressive fight for unemployment insurance instead of breadlines and “charity” handouts. Or what about Adanis’ own plant, the Cleve- land Hardware Co.? He knows what conditions are like there and he fears that his own work- ers will turn “Red” and organize in the Trade Union Unity League to fight for better condi- tions, No wonder that Mr. Adams 1s anti-Soviet. And no wonder Cleveland workers are getting wise to the fact that Adams and the capitalist class he represents are pushing for war against the Soviet Union as part and parcel of their wage-cutting, speed-up, starvation drive in the United States.

Join the parades which will start from three points (1051 Auburn Ave.; 5607 St. Clair; and 55th and Central) at 1 p.m, and march with them to the Square, to demonstrate against starvaion conditions and capitalist attacks on the Soviet Union.

As usual this sheet which ts the offi- cial organ of the Lehigh Valley American Fed- eration of Labor, raises the cry of Communism when the rank and file see through the mis- leadership of the A. F. of L. and tries to take things into its own hands.| “At one time,” says this sheet, “within the past week, it looked very much as though the Communists would get con- trol of the situation.” This in refernce to an incident at an open air strikers mass nvéeting which took place in Copley about two weeks ago. In response to appeals from the Allentown | strikers which sent several delegations to Pat- terson, the United Front Committee of Silk Strikers of Patterson sent a delegation of 40 Paterson silk workers to Allentown pledging their support to Allentown and bring the news that Paterson would come out on strike the fol- lowing week. McDonald, organizer of the U.T.W., Moser of the American Federation of Labor, and Stiner, attempted to prevent this delegation from ad- dressing the strikers. The Allentown strikers doing away with “ceremonies” grabbed the lead- ers of the delegation an@ placed them on the platform against the will of the officials. A few minutes later all the officials of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor disappeared and the meeting continued for over an hour until it began to rain. Continuous bursts of applause and cheers on the part of the several thousand strikers assembled proved their agreement with the Paterson delegates that only unity of the silk workers of Allentown and Paterson and rank and file control will prevent the U.T.W. officials from putting over a sell out in Allen- town. June Croll, Pace and Rubin, represent- ing the United Front Committee of Silk Work- ers of Paterson, were admitted to the shop chair- man committee the next day as a result of which the committee passed a motion to,send a mass delegation to the mass meeting in Pater- son where the unanimous vote was taken to strike silk and dye houses in Paterson. Almost 200 Allentown delegates were present at this meeting in Turn Hall. A motion was also passed at this shop chairmen meeting to send delegates to the National United Front Confer- ence. Eight of these delegates were elected to represent Allentown on the National Committee to spread the strike nationally and work out a common platform, program of action and de- mands if possible. Raising the cry of Communism the U.T-W. and American Federation of Labor officials to- gether with the assistance of Rev. Weber, repre- senting the socialist party, have since driven out, terrorized and corrupted the fighting shop chairmen and majority of the remaining 32 join with the United Front Committee of Silk Workers. The rank and file still stands solid for unity having sent another delegation, un- officially, to greet Paterson on Thursday, sec- ond day of the strike. Socialist Party Tries to Fill Treasury at Expense of Allentown Silk Strikers For three months the socialists have been peddling their ideas of peace with the bosses through: their representatives in the Allentown silk strike embracing 7,000 silk workers fighting against starvation. Rev. Weber representing the socialist party and leading a number of the shop chairmen who have recently joined this vote catching anti-labor organization, have been in leadership of the strike since its beginning three months ago. But only now just prior to elections the socialist party enters into a so- called relief campaign. §9 far only $21 has been contzibuted by the socialist party. Many strik- ers feel that the rest of the money being col- lected in the e of the starving strikers will go into the election campaign treasury of the socialist party. At the same time the socialist party is trying to catch votes of the strikers by pretending to give them relief| STRIKERS SHOULD DEMAND THAT ALL MONIES COM- ING BE HANDLED BY NON-SOCIALIST RANK AND FILE STRIKERS APPOINTED BY SHOPS TO CONTROL MONEY COLLECTED IN THEIR NAME, UTW Permits Allentown Striker Be Railroaded te Months in Jail. A young militant siik striker by the name of ‘Takatch was railroaded to a month in the coun- ty jail for having the nerve to picket and stop scabs from taking his job, without even a pre- tense at a trial, the prosecuting attorney refus- ing to permit any witnesses in his behalf. Al- though the U.T.W. has a lawyer on the payroll coming out of initiation fees which the strikers have recently paid, he did not even appear in court although he knew the trial was coming up. The International Labor Defense which de- fends all workers persecuted by the bosses and their courts when they fight for a decent living wage ought to come into the situation.| A work- ers’ defense organization is badly needed in Al- lentown where the Mayor calls the state police the moment mass picketing starts. Allentown Strikers Vote Unanimously Against Individual Settlements. At a mass meeting of strikers held Thursday night in the Leiderkrantz Hall, the question of individual settlements brewing in the shop chairmen committee was brought into the open by the rank and file and a vote called for. The strikers voted unanimously against individual settlements and upheld a previous decision against such a procedure on the grounds that it would break the backbone of the strike and en- able the bosses to force their terms upon the workers which remain the same as before the strike. The decision gives the shop chairmen committee the right to consider settlement of the strike as a whole. In view of the fact that the shop chairmen have become the mouthpiece of the McDonalds and other U.T.W. officials it is especially necessary now to turn the shop chairman committee of 32 into a broad represen- tative fighting strike committee. Every shop should lose no time in electing at least three more representatives to the shop chairmen committee and see to it that they are seated with a voice and a vote. Peace Pacts—War Budgets Capitalist Lies After the Last Slaughter. “The conference at San Remo means that the last war in the world-wide conflict is about to be terminated in a stern but just peace. That surely is an event of great importance for the women of the world. But the decisions of the conference have a deeper meaning than even that. They mean that the sacrifices of men and women are not in vain. They also mean that militarism, with its horrors and dangers is to be kept under wherever it threat- ens the peace of the world. From this view- point the decision to insist on the disarmament of Germany has great importance, but the de- cision to confer with German statesmen has equal importance. It signifies that the nations are determined that their misunderstandings should be settled by deliberation and reason, and not by the constant brandishing of the sword.” (Lloyd George, April 28, 1920). The Angel of Peace—1931 Style. “They (the Allied and Associated Powers) taxed themselves and borrowd from others to equip those armies and almost all the rest have been engaged ever since in increasing and per- fecting and strengthening their armaments,.... The angel of peace has never been so toasted, but since then the preparations for war have been going on in almost every country through- out the world who signed the treaty, and at an accelerated pace.”—Lloyd George, July 11, 1931, By JORGE Tent, Tent! Who’s Got a Tent? Makes no difference where you are, if you have a tent that you're not using, there are some hun- dreds of striking miners’ families needing them in Western Pennsylvania and the other strike areas, Hundreds of families, evicted, are camping out in the open fields, without the slightest shelter for their babies or their poor but precious be- longings. Send a tent and help win the strike! Even if you're using your tent—get another one if you must have one, but send one to the | strikers. What about all of our “proletarian camps?” Let some of these proletarians who are using tents try sleeping in the open for a while, and send the tents to the strikers. These strikers and thelr women and children, battling the elements, the mine owners, the po- lice and hunger, deserve everything possible, They've worn out their shoes on the picket line. Wrap up all the shoes you can lay hands on, wrap ’em up inside a tent, and send the works to the Pennsylvania-Ohio Striking Miners Reliej Committee, 611 Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa. eee ee .Another Bright Guy, Under the heading “A Cure for Communism) Also a Chance to Spin Factory Wheels and Put Americans to Work,” we have the following selected idiocy from the editor of the Spokane, Wash., “Press”: “If America can create among Russian women a demand for silk stockings and fine clothes such as American girls demand and get, not only will that demand set American factory wheels turning, but it will make Russia & prosperous customer. Russian men will have to get more money, and they will finally get it, Stalin or no Stalin, Communism or no Communism.” Let's see if we can unravel this mess Firstly, Russian women already want silk stockings, the demand doesn’t need to be “created.” But they're getting along nicely in mercerized sox or—in summer—none at all, until their own silk industry is developed to capacity to meet the demand rather than pay robber prices to American capitalists. Secondly, how many American girls, what per- centage of the total, really get silk -stockings? We'll bet our own cotton sox that less than 20 per cent--we’re tempted to make ft 10 per cent —wear silk stockings regularly. We mean silk and not rayon! If they are all wearing silk, please tell us why American factory wheels are not already turning? If Russian women never have worn silk, then it isn’t any loss of the market there which has stopped American silk mills, that’s clear. How can a Paterson, New Jersey, silk work- er, the head of a family, with wages cut to $12 a week or less, buy silk stockings for his wife and two daughters, let’s say? How many silk stockings do you see hanging on coal miners’ clothes lines? What percentage of the millions of starved and half-starved share croppers of the Southern cotton and toacco farms buy silk stockings for their women folks? When workers who make silk can't afford— not only to buy it—but can’t afford bacon and beans and cotton sox, that, you lunatig editor ” of Spokane, is what makes Communism grow. When Russian workers build their silk mills and work in them, they, and not a few capitalist wenches, will wear that silk. The chief reason why most girls want. silk stockings is because only a few capitalist women can get them. When there, will be plenty for all at cheap prices, few will make a fuss about them. In the meantime, speaking as man to man, why should Russian men rise in revolt under the revolutionary watchword, “Give our gals silk stockings!” when, their gals’ bare legs look mighty nice! There may be a demand in the Soviet Unioh for silk stockings, but there isn’t any demand for Spokane idiots. ¥ “Shoot the Works!” We refer to the second attempt that the “so: cialist clown, Heywood Broun, has made to “help the unemployed”—or maybe it’s the third. Any- how, back in March,’ 1930, when Hoover said “prosperity” would be back in 60 days, Broun thought so too. So he started a campaign among the bow-wows to “Give a job till June.” That was two Junes ago and Broun long since had to give it up. Now that something around 10,000,000 workers are jobless, Broun starts a new stunt ,supposed at the most to “help” about 50 unemployed actors. “The play’s the thing,” quoth he, and cooked up what is known as the rottenest show known to Broatway—which is saying lots. , It's called “Shoot the Works,” and from all indication that advice would be excellent if only carried out. Puffing it in his own column in the World-Telegram and rather brass-faced pleas to critics to give it a boost, haven’t saved it from flopping, though clfaritable dowagers? donations keep it going. “Variety,” the theatrical magazine, gives it an awful razzing, pointing out that it’s “without real merit from start to finish” with mediocre acting, about ten speeches by Broun who crawls under a bed in a bedroom scene, probably out of “socialist” habit. Variety objects to the critics boosting such a rotten piece of work: “Thusly Broun’s misguided effort to provide work for unemployed actors goes wrong even to the notices, The Broun show makes a monkey of producing, makes a monkey of notices, and makes a monkey of Broun.” Of course that put it too harshly, since Broun has never been anything else. And the play is useful in boosting him for Alderman on the “socialist” ticket. Isn’t he rupturing himself to “help the unemployed?” Incidentally, a Buffalo paper of the Scripps- Howard chain asks its readers to say whether they ld get rid of Broun, fire him, in fect. The oy’ two answers so far published give a ous affirmative, one saying: . “By all means, fire him. There isn’t an iota of interest in his monotonous gibberish.” But of course we must remember that the “socialist” Broun is all tangled up with the Scripps-Howard capitalist press, which in its New York paper, the World-Telegram, expresses “‘sym- pathy” with the striking miners, but in its Pitts- burgh paper, the “Press,” wats the strike broken quickly and with violence, Any concern that can be that crooked needs a “socialist” around as a pinch hitter in case any writer shows a N.Y, Times, July 12, 1931.
