Poilee; Four Jailed; Prisoners ; Pledge to Daily Worker: Here is what happened in on the first of August. the Borough of Pricedale and Vernon, where more fell in line. After we had marched four miles we were stopped at the west end of Monessen by the chief of police, John Lawish, and his police force and a detachment of state police armed with gas bombs and riot clubs. Cops Block Way. These well fed cops blocked the highway, while the chief, who stayed between two of his gas bomb slingers, insisted that we show him our per- mit to march. A young girl in the third row of the march told these steel trust tools that the old original constitution was permit enough. Attack Workers. At this point two of the police rushed on Tom Rodgers and began twisting his arms behind his back. Tt looked like the thugs were trying to tie him into a knot. Rodgers told the workers that the chief of police would control the workers just as long as the workers would stand for it. He advised the workers to or- ganize and fight against the mine owners, the police and the Lewis gang against the starvation program of the bosses. Workers March. Chief John.

She then told him that we did not intend to argue with him all day and turned to the marchers and said, “The chief will not allow us to march to our meeting. Will we march to our meeting or will we turn back?” Then in a chorus the marchers answered, “Let’s go.” Gas and Clubs. Then the tear gas was opened and the riot clubs pulled out.

Dear Sir: We all know that John L. Lewis is a traitor. The coal operators are trying to make it appear that they don't want Lewis to organize eastern Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee. This is a scheme to get the Lewis cut throats up here to fool the min- ers so that Lewis can sell them out. I, a miner, warn all the miners to shun the U. M. W. A. and get into a real workingman’s union, the Na- tional Miners Union. ’ These operators think that they are smart, but we have plenty of wise men among the miners down here. We are riot going to be fooled by the promises of the operators and their agents the U. M. W. A. fakers. We are all tired of the wage-cuts, starvation and long hours. This idé& of doing all kinds of dead work for no pay is not popular down here. We can stop this by organizing into the National Miners Union. All out for better conditions!—A MINER. ‘We Will Spread the Strike Until WeWin,’ Says Miners Wife BY a Miner's Wife NEW KENSINGTON, Pa.—The picket line at Harmarville had 260 on it this morning, walking up and down at the mine, There were 12 staters anr 20 deputies and they tried to put us women even off the sidewalk into the union hall. But we told them that we were not going to move. We paid taxes and we would stay there. He sent one of them yellow dogs for the patrol wagon. But not one of us did they arrest. We will march side by side with our men in the morning and we mean to keep it up and before the end of the week, we expect Har- marville to be 100 per cent, and also Renton and Newfields the same Way. The deputies tell the miners if they stop to talk to the pickets to get into the mine or fet off the road, Well, every miner will be out of the mine, and not off the road, either, but marching to the next mine, and then the “next. ‘We're out to win. With the help of the relief, to keep us from dying from hunger, we'll keep spreading the strike until we do win. Soldiers’ Home -Ousts Crippled War Vets (By a Worker Correspondeat) MILWAUKEE, Wis—A couple of weeks ago thirty ex-soldiers were thrown out of the National Soldiers Home here. They were all crippled and sick and unable to work and even if they could work there are no jobs anywhere. This is their re- ward for fighting Wall Street's war and making a new crop of millicn- aires in America, Now the bosses are getting ready to beat the war tom-toms again.

Organize to Force the Bosses to Give Relief | Daily Worker: The jobs on the pipe line, that temporarily absorbed some of the un- employed of Spring Valley are now at an end. On this job dozens of workers were badly hurt and many fatally because of the terrific speed- up under which the men worked. The contractors were trying to get thru in-a hurry. It meant more profits to them. It made no difference about the workers, It never does to the bosses as the workers here are realiz~ thei 2 Now there are no jobs whatsoever for the unemployed workers of Spring Valley and no prospects of getting any, the crisis isn’t lifting and hard times face the workers, yes even starvation, unless they organizé into the Unemployed Council. \What is the Unemployed Council? ‘It is a weapon of the united strength of the workers to fight for immed- Ite relief and unemployment insur- Spring Valley, Til. ’ ance.

Chi. Young Toilers Hear Turner Speak Negro Youth Tells of Soviet Progress CHICAGO, Ill—The Young Com- munist League of Chicago held a very successful party for the benefit of the Young Worker at Pine Beach at Gary, Indiana. Young workers from the IWO and the Freiheit Youth Club attended. Bob Turner, a Young Negro work- er, member of the last Friends of the Soviet Union delegation, spoke on the conditiors of the Youth in the Soviet Union. The police tried to attack and arrest Bob Turner. Im- mediately all the young workers came to his defense. About 200 workers on the beach surrounded the policemen and demanded that they should release Turner. The police refused. Immediately one worker grabbed a hold of Bob Turner and tried to wrest him from the cop. A detective attacked the worker, but the entire crowd resisted and the result was the police were beaten. The police left the beach without daring to arrest anyone. The newspaper in Gary stated that “the Young Communists attack the police and beat them up.” All the young workers returned very en- tlusiastically. f DETROIT PICNIC, LOS ANGELES, Calif, Aug. 2.— First of August, the day of fight against imperialist war and for the defense of the Soviet Union was marked in Los Angeles by three militant demonstrations. One was at the City Plaza and the other two at the Goodyear Rubber Plant and Hammond Lumber Co. More than a thousand workers participated at the City Plaza. About the same number at the two big planis. Hyne’s “Red Squad” had to di- vide its forces on three fronts. The workers, in spite of the usual police terror and “Red Squad” sluggers, held their ground and carried the meetings through. Speakers were molsted, terrorized and slugged and about thirty workers were arrested. While the “Red Squad” had con- centrated most of its forces, as usual, at the City Plaza and prevented the workers from demonstrating against war at the appointed hour (12 o'clock), the masses however did not disperse until 3:30 and insisted on having the demonstration. Many speakers in the face of terror, tear gas bombs, blackjacks, clubs and guns, spoke. Comrade Arispi was dragged and beaten by Hyne’s blood- hounds and as Arispi was taken in other speakers took his place and continued the meeting. . / 2,500 Workers Demonstrate In Lynn. LYNN, Mass., Aug. 2—Despite threats of the police earlier in the day that they would arrest Anna Burlak and any speaker who would say one word against the govern- ment, 2,500 workers attended the demonstration and applauded the speakers of the Communist Party and Young Communist League, who pointed out the danger of a war, especially a war of intervention against the Soviet Union. a oe Meet In North Carolina, CHARLOTTE, N.

Tens of evictions had been stopped within recent days by militant mass action of the workers in returning the furniture to the flats, The Communist Party has issued a leaflet denouncing this massacre of unemployed workers. It is being distributed all over Chicago. It con- tains the following demands: (1) Arrest of the police murderers of workers with death penalty for them; Communist Party Calls for Mass Protest at Funeral of Victims (2) Release of all arrested workers; (3) Right of workers to defend them- selves aaginst murderous attacks of police; (4) evictions of unemployed workers must stop; (5) For full rights of colored and white workers to or- ganize and hold meetings; (6) Im- mediate relief for the unemployed. A delegation will go to Mayor Cer- mak at City Hall today, demanding the immediate arrest of the police who murdered the workers and the release of the arrested workers. A mass funeral will be held for the murdered workers in which thousands of colored and white workers will par- ticipate. The massacre Tuesday is a con- tinuation of a long series of police acts of terrorism against Negro and white workers of Chicago. Particu- larly has this terrorism been directed against the colored workers, scores of whom are arrested almbst daily without cause and railroaded to pris- on sentences.

The Wall Street bank- ers announced today that a loan of $35,500,000 would be made to the city of Detroit on the same terms that a previous loan was made sey- eral months ago. The first loan of $5,000,000 from Ford and $5,000,000 from Wall Street was followed with shutting down of municipal lodging houses and cut- ting down of relief for the unem- ployed. The bankers demanded this be done and Murphy gladly complied. The same conditions go with the present loan. The meager unem- ployment relief will be cut further as more workers are thrown out of work, Over 75,000 Ford workers are now jobless and may be all winter. In the fact of this situation, Mur-} phy makes deals with the bankers| for loans to pay his police force and other grafters, but the unemployed will be told to starve or sleep on the streets. ATTACK SOVIET TRADE AGENCY IN ARGENTINA Try Blame USSR for Deepgoing Crisis (Cable By Inprecorr.) MOSCOW, Aug. 4—In connection } with the raiding of Yuzhamtorg, the | Argentine Soviet Trading Co., the| press emphasizes that the Argentine | bourgeoisie has long been attempt- | ing to represent the economic crisis | now gripping Argentine as a result | of “Soviet machinations.” Efforts in anti-Soviet circtes in Argentine to justify the unusually impudent and outrageous, raid on Yuzhamtorg and the arrest of all its employees by dumping charges against the Soviet Union are easily refuted by facts and figures. During the past year the Soviet Union’s share in Argentine imports amounted to two-tenths per cent and in exports four-tenths per cent. The trade balance between the U. S. | S. R. and South American countries | has been unfavorable throughout. The figures are as follows: In 19z6- | 1927 the Soviet Union imported from | South America 26 million roybles and exported 800,000 roubles, The following year it imported 35,000,000 and exported 1,400,000, respectively; the next year, 25,000,000 imports as against 5,000,000 exports, and in 1929- 1930 it imported 23,000,000 and ex- Ported 9,000,000. Soviet goods have been sold in Argentine markets at the prevailing world prices. In fact, American, British and German firms have been most active in price cutting. JAIL TEACHER OF PIONEERS Irene Dixon. to Tour Ohio for ILD CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 31— Irene Dixon, young teacher of the Young Pioneer Camp located in Con- neaut, Ohio, which was recently broken up by the sheriff of Ashta- bula County, has been arrested and 4s being charged with criminal syn- dicalism.

The miners have to run all over the mine to find ties, posts, and spikes. Worst of all is the air, or the absence of decent air inthe mine. In order to get a little bit of de- cent air the miners have to go home or out of the mine and then come back quick. Wage Cuts and Starvation Not long ago the miners wages were cut from $4 a day to $3.60. They now receive 66c a ton for coal from a two-foot vein. The miners work only one or two days a week and there is misery and starvation thru- out the district. The miners don't belong to any union.
