The N. M. U. is lead- ing the heroic miners in a new and better organized battle than ever against the intolerable situation. “The strike of ‘the Kentucky min- ers is a tremendously important one. It will enliven the workers all over the South. If properly organized, it will open the gateway to the organi- zation of great masses of workers in- to the TUUL unions, throughout the tyrant ridden industrial and agricul- tural sections inthe South. It will give a new lead and inspiration to the struggle of the workers every- where in the United States. The strike is extremely important also because it will draw in huge masses of Negroes and whites in common struggle in the face of the most vici- ous Jim-Crow lynchihg system of terrorism. It will unite the employed and unemployed in the Southern min- ing regions for joint struggle. The strike marks the further advance ot the National Miners Union as the or- ganization of the coal miners and it shows the tremendous effects pro- duced by the great strike of 40,000 minérs in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and No-thern West Vir- ginia this spring under the leader- ship of the NMU. This big strike was a bright ray of hope to the min- ers everywhere. italist civilization. The UMWA is seconding these movements with its strike breaking policy. The IWW is trying to sabotage and confuse the movement. But the Kentucky min- ers, resisting all these disruptive |forces, are uniting and standing to- gether in a splendid manner. The organization of the Kentucky miners | by the National Miners Union in the past six months, after the previous | struggle had been broken by the U. | M. W. A. treachery, the use of troops | by the government and a wild cam- | paign of violence by the operators, is jone of the greatest recent achieve- ments of the American labor move- ment. “The ‘Trade Union Unity League | heartily endorses the strike call of the Kentucky miners and calls upon the workingclass to give it every pos- sible support. In this strike, the ques- tion of relief is of major importance, the workers even while on the job, being already on the verge of starva- tion. It is necessary, therefore, to develop the broadest relief campaign this country has ever seen. This re- lief campaign must be connected up with a military defense of the Har- |lan miners now facing trial. It must |involve vast masses of unorganized jand A. F. of L. workers.

The boys are very grateful for the assistance furnished them by the I. L. D.” J. Louis Engdahl, national secre- tary of the IL. D., denied cate- gorically the statement issued to the press by the N.

Dec. 17— George Gerard, a member of the Un- employed Council and one of the Na- tional Hunger Marchers,- was taken from his boarding place to the police station. There he was beaten and al- most strangled by the police, saying, “You're a Communist, damn -you.” The worker answered that he is a native bern citizen, being born in St “the N.A.A.C.P, into the ¢ase?

The I. L. D. sent an inves- tigater into the field at once and retained a lawyer for this worker. The investigator found that the worker was innocent; and the law- yer, Bernard Ades of Baltimore, backed by the I. L.

Its lawyer in Baltimore, Josiah Henry, heaped fuel on the lynch spirit by advising Or- phan Jones to plead guilty. “Such action has drawn from the Baltimore Afro-American a stinging rebuke to the N.A.A.C.P. for ‘caviar and pink tea leadership’.

According to the fascists’ own figures, only 240,000 received any relief whatsoever. Side by side with the increasing mass unemployment the Mussolini re- gime has intensified its terror cam- paign against the working masses. Mussolini in a recent speech before the fascist directorate announced that new repressive measures would be taken against all enemies of fascism.

The police found it difficult to break up the huge demonstration, and it was only by repeatedly’ charging the crowd and arresting all small groups that they were able finally to dis- perse the jobless demonstration. ‘Liberator’ Parade in Harlem Today On Saturday afternoon, between | 3 and 5 o'clock, workers in the 45 Harlem section of New York City will receive sample copies of The Liberator, weekly organ of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights when members of the L. 8.

LOUIS FROM PAGE ONE) (CONTING own cops, a detective sergeant: The ; Whole town is seething over it. | Everybody expected an attack on the |National Hunger Marchers going through, and -the marchers did nothing to make’ it easy for the police jto save their faces. The Column consisted of 20 automobiles and | trucks, carrying big signs demanding the release of the 16 workers ar- rested in the police raid. The work- ers were out to support the marchers, and the police discreetly remainefl away with their shot guns and mus- tard gas. Up To Police Station The procession of Hunger March- ers went through the main center of town, and right up to the police station, where a committee placed ;demands for the release of the 12 men and four women, Negro and white arrested workers. The procession then circled the main streets again and went over to St. Louis proper. On the way to‘East St. Louis, the marchers were greeted by 200 miners at Miners Hall, Collinsville. They rested a half hour and reported to the miners and outlined the next steps in the struggle for unemploy- ment insurance. They were met by an escort of 15 cars from St, Louis, to go with them the rest of the way. * 2 8 Police Used Poison Gas In Raid Friday EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill, Dec. 18— All 16 of the workers and unem- ployed workers arrested ‘in the police raid Dec. 11, with bail first set at | $1,000 each on framed “vagrancy” reenees ecmsa tm in court Wednesday, and are now all out on reduced bail a ed through the activities of the International Labor | Defense. In the face of the workers’ re- sentment and open criticisms by the capitalist press that the “job was bungled,” and open admission that the police force and city authorities are hooked up with the notorious Shelton gang of robbers and booze runners, Police Chief Leahy kept his uniformed thugs somewhat in the background. But it was brought out at the trial that the police conducted the raid, in true gangster fashion on a meeting in a private house, at which workers were planning organization of the unemployed. The police not only flourished and fired their guns, but shot into the room a gas known as “No. 4” which as a mixture of tear and mustard gas, this last being a terrible poison which corrodes the lungs. It was the deadliest gas used in the world war. It is strictly for- bidden by police regulations and the manufacturers to use “No. 4” in an enclosed space. Meant to Kill Workers To shoot this gas into a room full of people in a private house, showed @ clear attempt to murder the work- ers there. Just how they escaped death is somewhat of a mystery. Some current of air, or the natural hardihood of the workers themselves seems to have saved them. T?-7> ling were as much overcome by their own gas that they were sent to ® hospital. One of them, fieeing madly from the room, dropped his machine gun. Detective Sergeant ‘Soombs went in to get it, and the gas got him. He came out spitting blood, and shortly after that dropped dead. All Workers Sick The loca] capitalist press admits that. the. “prisoners were all made ill by. the gas, and one of them, Har- old Cisco, was burned by it.” Mus- jtard ges got its name in the war from its ability to burn the flesh, even when it is not breathed into the Jungs, The St. Louis Post Dispatch has an editorial on the police attack as follows: “Notes on a Raid” “A raid by a squad of East St. Louis. police last Friday evening on a residence where a meeting of alleged Communists wes be'ng held suggests the following points: | | Olympic games, MOONEY BACKS FIGHT ON 1932 BOSS OLYMPIC Accents Chairmanship of Labor Sports NEW York.—The Labor Sports Union is in receipt of a telegram sent by Tom Mooney in which he accepts the honorary chairmanship of the Anti-Olympics Committee and en- dorses the fight against the 1932 Mooney calls for a renewed strug- gle against the class which has kept him prisoner for the last sixteen years cn one of the mast callous frame-ups in history. Recognizing the class against class nature of the opposition International Workers Athletic Meet to be held in Chicago next year, Mooney wishes the Labor Sports Union ‘success in its fight for an interfational athletic meet. « Negroes, Soviet athletes and fac- tory sportsmen, who havé not the ghost of a show of participating in the Olympics because of the “star” system of choosing entries, because of the policy of Jim Crowism of the Olympics Committee and because of the hatred of the capitalist world for the Soviet Union, will be the back- bone of the entire Workers Meet. It will be a major blow at the method employed by the capitalist class for winning over the working class youth through the medium of sports. Moo- ney's telegram is as follows: “Accept honorary chairmanship united front Anti-Olympic commit- tee. Hope organization International Workers Athletic . Meet successful.

Communists ‘The New Guard, a fascist organ- ization recently formed in New South Wales, has issued a call saying that it intended purging the community of Communism and forcing the unions to oust the Communists. They have sent a petition to King George ask- ing that parliament be dissolved. The formation of this fascist force and a few others in Australia follows the tremendous victories of the revo- lutionary movement in this section of the British Empire. Recently the Aus- tralian Railwaymen’s Union and the New South Wales carpenters’ union decided to affiliate with the Red In- ternational of Labor Unions. A few weeks ago the shipping industry was paralyzed by a strike under revolu- tionary leadership and now miners and railway workers of Queensland are on strike. Although this New Guard declares itself ready to smash Communism regardless of law, the labor premier, Lang, beat them with a law (passed last June) which defines sedition as any act which tends “to bring the Sovereign into hate or contempt, or” promotes feeling of ill-will between classes. The Labor Party councils in New South Wales are calling for the outlawing of the Communist Party.

Admits Growth of Revolutionary Movement In Japan The growth of the revolutionary | movement in Japan at a time of the | deepening economic and financial crisis in that country is causing grave |concern not only to the Japanese | Tuling classes but to all the imperi- | alists. Rodney Gilbert, in an article lin the Herald-Tribune engages in a vicious defense of the white terror against the Japanese masses. Gilbert | admits that the Manchurian seizure |is part of the imperialist plans for | armed intervention against the Sov- jiet Union. | He reports among the Japanese | ruling classes an “almost universal conviction that relations with Soviet | Russia are rapidly approaching a | break-down and that, however, re- mote actual war with Russia may seer, Manchuria must be a source of foed supply and a secure base of op- erations if it ever does come.” Gilbert speaks of the “phenomenal growth of Communistic thought” in | Japan, and admits that the Man- churia seizure is to be followed by a | bloody repression of the masses at home. He says: “There was talk-in Japan months before military action was taken at Mukden of a likely ‘Fascist’ coup, to be followed by a military dicta- | torship that would not only adopt a forward policy on the mainiand, bue would purge the homeland of redicaiism.” { revolutionists, their struggle against po! | intervention is a p life in in the Soviet rful counter-attack 5) West 13th Sercet rzaniz e ratio! ht Por ¢! ‘ Dail Sew ok “THE ROAD” is a story of a beautiful romance df two the financiers, jans, their heroic sacrifices in helping to defeat and all other confusers of the workers, By GEORGE MARLEN (Spiro) 623 pp.—$2.00 ||| Workers Book Shop| Red Star Press '§,.€86 Fight! 5,000 ix your shoo, in your factory, in your mass organ- Pat the drive for 5,000 Daily Worker 12-aonth subs over the top! yorrs your paper ies fought for you!
