During these weeks of strugsle the workers have had to face bosses in their attempt to break the strike and the fighting Despite the terroristic attacks of the National Guards and hired¢- front of the workers. police, thugs of the bosses the strike is still on. The bosses, seeing that they cannot terrorize the workers back to work have now begun all sorts of trickery ahd underhand methods in order to induce the workers back to work, Two examples suffice to prove this. The bosses’ news sheets have been used to break the militancy of the workers. In one case an article ap- peared claiming that the Syrian workers were dissatisfied with the procedure of the strike and were planning to return to work. In this way they tried to split the ranks of the workers by playing one national- ity against another. This article has been proven as a lie by the fact that the Syrian workers have not returned to work but are the most militant fighters in the picket lines. In an- other case an article read that 600 workers had returned back to work in the Royal Weaving Co. of Pawtucket. The brazenness of this article can be seen by the fact that even today there are not more than 100 out of the thousand on strike that have re- turned to work. What was the purpose of this ar- ticle?) Why was this lie popularized throughout New England by the bosses news papers? This article had a double purpose. Firstly, the bosses attempted to raise confusion and doubt in the minds of the strikers. and thus break their militancy. But secondly, and mainly, the purpose of the article was to raise doubt White Luggage Workers Must Organize to! Fight Wage New York, N. Y¥. Daily Worker: On Tuesday most of the box cov- erers of the White Luggage Co. found tkeir pay envelopes short from $2 to $12.

He is trying to see to it that the big fellows get no more than $1 a barrel for oil, but he is doing nothing about raising the wages of the workers. Standard Oil Fires Porters; Forces 17 Hours in Filling Stations Tampa, Fla, Daily Worker: The Standard Oil Co, here has laid off all the porters in the filling stations and the men that are now on the job have to work 17 hours a day, and the only aid they get is when the colored workers have a car to clean and the clery at the sta- tion lets the old porters do the work and keep the money for themselves.

The bosses fully well realize that the success of {the strike for the workers depends a great deal on their getting the much needed relief and -support of the workers throughout New England. | Thus workers in reading that boss made lie in the news papers would think that the strike is lost and over and would no longer support the strike by sending them relief. Thus through a tricky lie the bosses at- tempted to break the militancy of the fighters and supporters of the strike. Worke' What must be our an- swer to th Our answer must come in the form of immediately sending them the much needed relief to the strike area, to show the bosses that jthe fight of the R.

On Sunday, August 23, at Wood- land Park, Worcester, Mass., the Communist Party together with the Labor Sports Union is holding a dis- i trict-wide sports meet and picnic to aid the striking textile workers. All proceeds of this event will go for the support of the strike. Workers and sympathizers, answer the lies and attack of the bosses. Support the strikers in their fight for a living wage.

These demands are fundamentally necessary to bring even a mall degree of relief to the starving miners and their families. The W. M. U. will continue its fight for them unflinchingly and without let vp. The present change of tactics prepares the base for an intensifiea- tion of the strike struggles for these elementary demands in the strike area. . AG on will lay the basis for broader and he miners of Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and the Pan- andie of West Virginia are not beaten, Although many of them have been starved and terrorized back to work they retain their fighting spirit and loyalty to the N. M. U. The great body of the miners have their confidence in the N. M. U. and its program. Our great task now is to reorganize the ranks of these workers with the miners back at work and to again draw these into the strike against starvation. This program for the present strike area dovetails and strengthens the developing national strike movement of the miners. In Kentucky, Central Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and throughout the mining indus- try, the miners, employed and unemployed, are awakening and are or- ganizing for struggle against the unbearable conditions in the mining communities. Inevitably this movement develops towards a national strike for the major demands of the union, a strike growing out of the local and district struggles based on lesser demands. The N. M. U. is the central organizer and leader of this growing mass struggle. Through the Miners’ Unity Committees of Action it makes a united front with fighting miners in the U. M. W. A. locals and the minority movements. All the N. M. U. strategy, including the change of tactics in the present strike, is directed towards the strengthening of these local and national strike movements « In the present strike situation, with blacklisted workers and their families to take care of, with large masses of strikers to fecd, and with strikes developing on all fronts, the need for relief is urgent. We appeal to the whole working class to strain every nerve to send all possible money, food, clothing, tents, etc. to help the miners win their great struggle. “ We call upon the masses of miners to build the N. M. U. Our union is our weapon against the encroaching starvation. The U. M. W. A. offers nothing but treachery and betrayal. There is no hope for us in the various schemes of trustification, government ownership, government contro} of the mines, etc., now being put forth on all sides by the oper- ators and their labor and political lackeys. These plans aim to break our strike. They are calculated to foree hundreds of thousands more miners into unemployment and starvation. They mean more wage cuts, more speed-up, worse conditions in every respect, Only the program of the N. M. U. meets our needs. If we hava not yet been able to compel the operators to yield to our demands in this strike the fault is not in the N. M. U.’s general policies, but in its organizational weakness. ‘This must be drastically remedied. We must build our union solidly in every mine, We must strengthen our strike moyement. We must prepare for broader struggles than ever under the leadership of the National .

It was adopted by the joint meeting of the N. M. U. district boards of both districts in session with the strike executives of both districts, in Pittsburgh, Friday. It was adopted at the special meeting of the Central Rank and File Strike Committee, Saturday, August 15, in Pittsburgh. The Central Rank and File Strike Committee at its meeting Satur- day adopted the following program of immediate steps to carry through the organized retreat: 1.—Meetings of section strike committees Saturday, August 15, at 8 p. m, to discuss the policy and how to apply it, 2,—Joint meetings of local strike committees of the individual com- panies Sunday, at 10 a. m. to discuss the policy and to formulate tne demands.

It is quite probable that some innocent militant Negro worker will be found to be just the right shade. The Negro and white workers of the entire country must rally to the defense of the Negro workers of Bir- mingham and of the Communist Party against the attacks of the Al- bama bosses. These attacks on the Negro workers and the Communist Party are engineered by the same murderous white ruling class which |framed up the nine innocent Scotts- boro Negro boys and massacred the Camp Hill croppers and the Chicago @ncmployed workers. These attacks are aimed at breaking the resistance of the working-class against starva- tion boss terror and the new openly admitted wage cutting campaign.

The principal speaker will be Rich- ard B, Moore, head of the National Negro Dept. of the ILD,.who is now finishing a three months’ tour of the country speaking and organizing for the defense of the nine Scottsboro boys, the striking miners, and other victims of capitalist terror. Repre- sentatives of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, the Unemployed Council, and the Communist Party will also present the program of the militant workers organization for mass struggle against the growing discr:Nination and murderous boss terror, At the Highland Park swimming pool, recently built by the city at a costof $200,000 and opened with a blare of blather by the capitalist politicians about what the “great democratic city of Pittsburgh is doing for all the people,” Negroes have been attacked and beaten while Police looked on saying, “we can’t protect you.” Then the police ar- rested four Negro bathers charging them with “inciting to riot.’ They were sentenced by the capitalist judge Papale, acting as witness, prosecutor, and judge, to a fine of $25 or 30 days in jail. Under press- ure later, this valiant upholder of boss prejudice and “white suprem- acy” reversed his decision. Two more Negro bathers seeking to enter the pool were searched by the police, and arrested, one being fined by the prejudiced boss court. The N. A. A. C. P. misleaders, the betrayers who refused to join in the mass struggle to save the lives of the nine Scottsboro boys, held a meeting and adopted resolutions asking for “adequate police protection” and recoinmending that “the mayor and the law dept. of the city of Pittsburgh instruct magisterial duties.” The yellow Pittsburgh Courier tries to fool the Negro masses with talk of poli- tical action at the polls, getting so much capitalist blah. Workers! Employed and Unem- ployed! The wage cutting campaign of ‘the bosses is now openly admitted. to be universal! Every single em- ployed worker is faced with a wage cut! The boss press admits that “By Oetober manufacturers who have not yet reduced their wage rates will be rare.” The lies of Hoover and Green that there would be no wage cuts were made to lull the workers into a sense of false security and thus pre- vent a united struggle against the steady worsening of their conditions! ‘The cold-blooded denial of unemploy- ment relief is also intended as a warning to the emBloyed workers to accept wage cuts mezkly and without resistance, es they would get no un- employment relief from the Wall St. government. In addition, the bosses thereby also aim to hold the -huge and ever-growing army of unem- ployed as a threat over the heads of the employed workers. “The workers must fight back!

At the same time this treacherous tool of the boss ter- rorists viciously attacks the great mass demonstrations of white and Negro workers at the funeral of the Chicago police masacre victims as “manipulated propaganda,” slander- ing these Negro workers who died fighting heroically for the rights of the starving, evicted, oppressed Ne- groes as “disturbers of the peace, rightfully slain.” The International Labor Defensce calls upon the workers of all races and nationalities to upite in militant mass struggle to defend the Negro masses in their struggles, as a neces- sary part of the struggle for the pro- tection and emancipation of the whole working-class, Volimteers Wanted in Daily Worker Office The Circulation Deptartment of the Daily Worker requires the volunteer services of several com- rades for typing, billing, filling, and other work that has been ac- cumulating in the office for som time. z: If you have an hour or two to spare, will you please come up to the eighth floor and give us a hand!
