AND THE KENTUCKY DISTRICT BOARD THE NATIONAL MINERS UNION. bee 20,000 Kentucky miners voted, through their representatives at the Convention of the N.M.U., to strike January 1, 1932, against the worst starvation and the most brutal terror in the history of the coal industry. Right from the Convention Hall, scores of rank and file organ- zers, risking their very lives, ragged and almost parefooted, but determined, went hiking over the mountains to organize the strike.

The Kentucky miners made several heroic atiempts to defeat the starvation and terror. Last spring they conducted one of the most heroic strikes in the history of the class struggle country. They fought courageously with on their shoulders. For months they lived mountains battling with the gunmen. were dying in the struggle for the right to They actually defeated the gunmen. Then Covernor Sampson sent his army mpany gunmen in the war against the miners. Every effort of the armed forces failed to de- feat the courageous Kentucky miners. The coal operators needed the help of the U.M.W.A—and y got it. The U.M.W.A., with itsjlong record of treachery and betrayal, aided by the I.W.W. betrayed the fighting miners at the most crucial moment, This was one of the most shameful be- trayals ever committed. The U.M.W.A. withdrew whatever little support it was giving to the hungry but fighting miners. It told the miners to surrender to the gun-rule. The strike was de- ive. feated, the miners driven back into the -mines to work under even worse conditions, THousends were blacklisted, hundreds arrested. ‘The terror | was increased and intensified. A real modern slavery has been established throughout the coal fields. Organize the National Miners Union. © ‘The exploited, hungry and prosecuted miners did not surrender. ‘Their fighting spirit was even more aroused. They were looking for a way out of this situation. They found their real, un- shakable and determined leader in the National Miners Union. They themiselves, organized. the NM.U. They decided that the Union is strong enough to lead them in the struggle against starvation and terror. They organized the Dis- trict Convention of the Union. The convention represented practically every mine in the state. Women and children, hungry and ragged, in pouring rain, came to hear the decisions of the convention. An unanimous decision, accompanied by prolonged applause and cheers, was made to strike every mine in the state on January 1, 1932. Preparations for the great historic strike are about completed and the day of the strike is being eagerly awaited. The children are compos- ing songs that they will sing on the picket lines. Relief Supreme Necessity. The Kentucky miners decided to strike. They are determined to win the strike. They must win the strike if they are to live like human beings and not like slaves. They are ready and deter- mined to meet any measure of the coal operators and their government. They are ready to meet the machine guns on the picket lines. They are ready to sacrifice their lives, if necessary, in order to defeat the starvation and terror and to relieve their little ones from the present suf- ferings. The Kentucky miners are determined to defeat. every obstacle on the way to a victorious strike. But, they cannot without the help of the work- ing class, defeat the present hunger that will increase in the course of the strike. They are hungry even now while they are, working. Their children have nothing to eat and nothing to wear. The coal operators, will evict'them from the company shacks. They will have no place to | live in., The Kentucky miners will do their duty. They will do the actual fighting. But they need food, they need clothing, they need shelter. This must | come from the miners in the other sections of the industry, from the workers of other indus- | tries, from the farmers, from every working class organization and from every sympathizer of the brave and heroic Kentucky miners. The National Board and the Kentucky Dis- trict Board of the National Miners Union appeal to the working class of the United States for support to the striking miners in Kentucky! ‘The victory of the Kentucky miners will be the victory of the entire working class of the United States. The employers are cutting wages in every. industry. The government refuses to give relief to the millions of unemployed. The victory of | the Kentucky miners will stimulate the develop- to aid the | } | | Ee ment of struggle against wage cuts and for So- cial Insurance throughout the country. It will help to defeat the starvation program of the capitalist class. Help the Kentucky miners to defeat starvation and terror! Collect funds, food and clothing for the strik- ing Kentucky miners!

The Revolutionary Unions in the Pittsburgh District By CARL PRICE. Continued from Dec. 18 issue) Ti. Unemployed Work of the Unions, So far in the preparations for the National Hunger March, the shortcomings of our unem- ployment work have been more sharply em- phasized. The relation of the unions to the Unem- yed Councils is not yet fully understood throughout the field. There is still a lack of understanding on the part of some comrades that the Unemployed Councils are delegated bodies, an idsa that they are loose organizations, including at one time several hundred members. There also developed in some sections, a mechan- ical division of the work, whereby the “Unem- ployed Councils” are left to do the unemployed work, and the union to care for the blacklisted miners, and the employed miners. For example, in the Brownsville Section, Unemployed Branches have been built in a number of mining towns but the union there has made no serious effort to draw the unemployed miners into the National Miners Union. This lack of clarity has hampered the mobilization of the miners and steel workers for the Hunger March. The Party Plenum and ‘PUUL Plenum decisions that the unions. must take a leading part in the mobilization of the unemployed workers, has not been fully explained to the field. The main task in the unemployed work, therefore, is to establish Unemployed Coun- cils composed of delegates from block commit- tees, branches, and other committees, as a broad- er movement than the revolutionary unions. At the same time, we must sharply correct the ten- dency of the unions not to take a leading part in the organization of the unemployed. We must put into preetice, the unity of the employed and unemployed miners in the NMU. The NMU must organize at once, out of the broader un- employed movement, unemployed branches of the National Miners Union. The NMU has got to take the Initiative in calling mass meétings, together with the Unemployed Councils of the unemployed miners, must et once mobilize its en~ fire apparatus of the Natfonal Hunger Marche for February. « We-must show the umemploved® miners and ‘steel workers that, and Metal Workers Industrial League represents not only those who are at work, but also the unemployed miners and steel workers, and fights for the demands of the unemployed and the ‘mity of the enrployed and unemployed.

You Try to Finish It.” By BURCK. EUGENE CHEN WHEAT--WAR--AND FARMERS By HARRISON GEORGE. ATE in October and early November, when the Japanese Army was advancing “to re- pair a bridge” on the road to Tsitsihar—and the Soviet frontier, the price of wheat suddenly shot up, Chicago wheat pit: prices rising from about 50 cents a bushel to 73 cents practically over- night. Great was the rejoicing. Cowbells, firecrack- ers and bonfires marked the celebration (some- what prematurely to be sure) of the “prosper- ity come-back” in Kansas towns where farmers had been trying to sell wheat for 28, and 30 cents a bushel—and no buyers. Explanations spouted forth from capitalist “economists” like streams from a fountain. Sud- den and most mysterious “shortages” appeared here, there and everywhere to the astonishment of everyone who had been told by these same “economists” that there simply was “too much wheat in the world.” Secretary Hyde’s Department of Agriculture burst forth with suddenly acquired optimism at the ‘“‘shortage” which magically appeared in the Soviet Union, French, German and Australian wheat ‘crops. About the Soviet, the Dept. of Agriculture on Nov. 1, gave the following prophecy: “Evidence is accumulating which points to a Riesian erop considerably smaller than in 1930.” How much “truth” was in this Hooverian fore- cast can be seen by the dispatch appearing in the N. Y. Times of December 15, from its Mos- cow correspondent, whose refutation of Mr. Hyde's prophecy of six weeks earlier is summed up in the following: “The prospects for grain collections were brighter today—with an official announce- ment that there was already more grain in the state granaries than the total amount col- lected last year.” But back there when Laval was leaving and the Japanese advancing toward the Soviet bor- der, all was rosy. Not only the Soviet wheat crop was short, but from Berlin the N. Y. Times of Nov. 3, told us of an unexplicable calamity that had come over the French and German » crops: “From 30,000,000 to 50,000,000 bushels of French and German wheat, it is estimated (by whom, the correspondent too modest to state—H. G.) will need replacement because of rain.” But that was on Noy. 3, on a “bull” market. A market, moreover, that was slowed up not at all by the publication on November 11 (N. Y. ‘Times) of the following refutation of this mys- terlous discovery of such extraordinary total of and steel towns has become a major issue in this District, which taxes the entire Party and union. forces, and which must immediately be given more attention by the TUUL and the Party center. The attack on the legality of the unions and Party in New Kensington and Verona, the arrests in Monesson, prohibition of meetings in Homestead, McKeesport, ete., andthe raid of our Party and union headquarters in Brownsville and the arrest of the leader of the NMU, Giambat- tista, by Pinchot’s state police, are evidences of the increasing terror. Not only this, but a wave of severe blacklisting and wholesale discharge ot workers (discharge. of. workers in the Blawnox. Steel Mill who live outside Blawhox) has taken place. Individual terror, visiting of workers at homes, threat of arrests, deportations, etc. 15 increasing. A struggle is quickly developing for the legal- ity of the working class organizations, for the. elementary rights of the working class—for’ the right to meet, organize, speak, present the de- mands of the unemployed, ete. Certain wrong tendencies in the face of this increased terror, have developed within the Party and the unions. a. A capitulation to the terror: ..One comrade: in the Brownsville Section Committée, after ‘the raids, proposed that we do not try to have “any more mass meetings, or issue any more leaflets, and confine the unemployed and union activity spoilage by “rain”: “The French Ministry of Agriculture states that the French wheat harvest in 1931 would be 269,313,958 bushels, as against a little more than 230,000,000 bushels in 1930.” As to Australia, the “explanation” given by no less an authority than the N. Y. Annalist writer, Winthrop W. Case, in the issue of No- vember 13, stated: “The 1931-32 Australian crop is variously estimated at from 165,000,000 to 182,000,000 bushels, compared with 213,000,000 in 1930-31, and 127,000,000 the year previous. The pres- ent. acreage is placed at 13,500,000, a 25.5 per 1980-31.” Alas, for the prophecy of “reduction” by this “expert”! For on December 16, the Associated Press dispatch from Canberra, Australia, car- ried the following: “Despite low world prices, planting of wheat in Australia has been extended and the Fed- eral Department of Markets anticipates the coming harvest will yield more than 212,000,000 bushels. The state of Western Australia has greatly extended the acreage. . . .” ‘ There remains to see what sort of “shortage” there is in the United States, to have Justified the great outburst of capitalist optimism in Oc-. to house to house visits. We must-explain to the workers that the only effective way of fighting the terror is to sink the roots of the union and the Party deep among the masses, to fight for the rights of the streets—the right to meet, etc., ~—to build defense corps, to protect the meetings, to continue with the mass unemployment move- ment, hunger marches, etc. We must explain to the workers that if we adopt the program the bosses want us to adopt, the bosses will not be " satisfied with this, but will increase the terror to the extent that we decrease our. mass activity and will try to completely drive us-underground, We must put, up a stubborn’ struggle for the Je- gality of the unions and the Party. At the same time, it is necessary to incresse the methods of house to house visiting and es- peclally of amaller house meetings, to reeruit tober and November when wheat prices rose and Mr. Julius Klein of the Dept. of Commerce told one and all that the agricultural ‘recov- ery” meant that (again) “a turn” had come and all the world would soon be wallowing in “prosperity.” Secretary Myde of the Agricultural Dept. had eet his heart on “reduction of acreage,” to be into the umion. All forms of activity must. be continued, .and the answer, to the raid in Brownsyille was @ successful County Hunger March on’Nov. 17 in Fayette County. ‘The stru-g gle against the terror must be taken more ser- jously by the Centre, and really made a national campaign, especially in view of the intensifica- tiem of the war danger recently, ¢, tre ay, ATO be rm) cent reduction from the 18,149,000 acres in - _ Workers and peasants, “voluntarily” carried out by the farmers. Well, there was a reduction of acreage all right, but not “voluntarily.” There were 13,000,000 acres of crops lost to drouth and grasshoppers—but a net reduction of only 9,255,000 acres because the farmers had INCREASED ACREAGE by some 4,000,000 ‘acres above 1930! And what’s more, nature was so bountiful in the acreage not lost, that the total wheat crop for 1931 stands at 892,271,000 bushels, being 34,111,000 bushels more than in 1930, and 79,698,- 000 more than in 1929! To sum up the whole boom in wheat prices was based upon false explanations. The real ex- planation lay in two factors: First, the immediate approach of war on a world scale directed mainly at the redivision of China and atiack on the Soveit Union, as seen by all who understood the visit of Laval and the Manchurian events as indicating the new imper- jalist grouping of America, France and Japan— ’ @ regrouping which could mean and still can only mean—war. ‘The second factor was the speculation that seized upon the war danger and then improved upon it by the simple invention of all these tales of “shortages” everywhre. The Hoover administration helped this along with its official optimism and lying “repo and the lambs were shorn by the Cutten group of Chicago, the lambs ignoring the plain hand- writing on the wall that appeared in an article of the N. Y. Times of November 3, with the headlines: “Cutten Group Buys Big Wheat Hold- ings; Chicago Operator Reported a Chief Factor Behind Spurt in Prices.” Wheat went up to 73 cents a bushel. But the N. ¥: Post of Nov. 17 explained who was clean- ing up by saying:—“. . . large speculative in- terests who were active in the market in the early stages of the original rebound . . . were heavy sellers from 68 cents up as the public (ah, that “public’!—H. G.) reputedly took the mar- ket away.” But what did the farmers get out of all this? Well, it is to be noted that the price began to boom only in late October and November— AFTER the farmers, the SMALL FARMERS, who never can afford to hold their crop, had sold it at from 28 to 40 cents—at the farmers’ local market. So the increase in price was gobbled up by the big speculators from the small ones in the main—and the farmers got little of it, the small farmers none of it. But the fact that they got none of it did not prevent the Farm Board offi- cials, swollen with fat salaries, and the Hoover administration, from falsely claiming that they had (again!) “saved the American farmers.” ‘The farmers have been “saved” every year now for the last three, regularly, in the late autumn —after they have had to sell their wheat in the early autumn. In 1929 and 1930 the Farm Board “saved” the farmers—and helped the specula- tors—by direct purchase of wheat. This year the Board had no money to buy, but it helped the big speculators by discovering “shortages.” Now, however, the “public” has been shorn by the Cutten group and the price of wheat is just about where it started from, 54 cents a bushel. Thus the small farmers who grew the wheat profited not a cent by the nearness of war that loomed up in October, nor by the “shortage” lies which screened the war danger, nor the temporary price rise that resulted. And when war really does come, the small farmer will again not profit from it, in spite of the lies of ar-makers who count on getting the farmers’ support for war by cultivating such ghastly il- lusions in their minds, The farmers should think well upon what they “got” out of the last war—inflation that gave an appearance of “prosperity” until it met the in- evitable bankruptcy and deflation. They will not get even the appearance of prosperity out of the next war. Not the small farmers, the majority. The prices they get will be kept down by decree of a military dictatorship far more oppressive than the prices set by decree in the last war, when Hoover as food dictator set a “qninimum” price that in effect was a maximum price—and thus limited the farmers’ income while permitting profiteering by the big specu- lators. The next war will be different—and worse. Not only in an economic sense, either. The next war will not only rob the farmers, the majority of small and middle farmers, and bring them more surely under the thumb of the big bank- ers, but it will demand that they and their sons pour out their blood and leave their bores on a thousand battlefields, while their wives and chil- dren starve and die. This is the outlook for the farming masses. Capitalism offers them only poverty ever deeper, the horror of war and the suppression of eyery “right” that American capitalist “democracy” has tricked them with for generations into sub- mission to the real capitalist dictatorship that hides behind this mask of “democracy.” The Communist Party calls upon the masses of small and middle farmers to awake to the only way, the revolutionary way, out of capitalist mis- | By Jones “Beautiful Comradeship” Now don’t make any hasty conclusions, We're hot speaking about the. Communist. Party. There's comradeship in it, but. sometimes, here and there, boys and girls, and especially Philan delphia marine workery—it’s not so “beautiful.” If things don’t mend in Philadelphia we'll be compelled to say more about that. The “beautiful comradeship” that we refer te was the principal or at least the most impore tant result, we're told, of the” last World War, So said Rabbi Jacob Sonderling, who the N. ¥. Times of Dec. 15, tells us was “Jewish Chaplain« in-Chief of the Eighth German Army.” He, the Rabbi, was speaking at a luncheon of che ew Work Chapler of Chaplains’ Association of the United States Army at the Hotel Taft, at which the Rey. J. Knox Bodel, chaplain of the Second Corps Area, presided. It must have been a touching speech, the Times account saying in part: * “The rabbi spoke of the ‘beautiful spirit of comradeship’ that had existed among Catholic, Jewish and Protestant clergymen, and told the American chaplains that he had received some of his most impressive lessons from Cath- olic and Protestant churches in the war.” Now, workers, it is as plain as the nose on an elephant’s face that the sky-pilots of all churches who cheer you into murdering each other for the greater profit of capitalists, have a united front with each other and with their capitalist masters—against ALL workers. Let this serve you as an example and don’t let yourselves be divided by religious and racial prejudices, but unite with each other as workers, Catholic, Jew ish, Protestant or atheist, for the most important business of putting the kibosh on capitalism and capitalist war. Let's have among the workers, the real worke ers, not the Norman Thomases and Bill Greens, but the sure enough workers, the “beautiful comradeship” of the poor against the rich, the workers against the capitalists, the liberators of mankind against the oppressors of mankind! Satis an fo What We Call “Brass” Not long ago, Hoover’s Department of Come merce spit up a lie to the effect that the Soviet Union was in “financial difficulties”, and from this lie it went on to “advise” American manu- facturers not to sell anything to the Soviet Union except for spot cash as, so the “advice” went— “credit was not safe.” This is, of course, an attempt to lay down a credit blockade and thus obstruct the Five Year Plan of socialist construction. That Hoover's statement is a lie we ask you to prove for youre self by reading the articles “The Financial and Economic Policy of the Soviet Government” by Grinko, published in the “Inprecorr”, in Numbers 59 and 60. It is too long for us to go into here, But, it might be well to ask what kind of con= dition the credit of the capitalist government of America is in, when it dares to lie about the Soviet. In a brief way it may be shown by quot- ing Ogden L. Mills, Under-secretary of the U. % ‘Treasury, who spoke over the radio last Satu day, and among other things said: “Even if we assume that we are justified ix borrowing up to the full amount of $3,460,000,- 000, that sum will be almost completely ab- sorbed by last year’s and this year’s deficits.” ‘That's not very good credit backing fs it? It’s rotten, in fact. But none the less, while Hoover pleads government poverty against any demand for Unemployment Insurance or the cash bonus for veterans, he is all hot for a fund that “is ale lowable” to ran up to $1,500,000,000 to help the banks and the railroads owned by the banks. ‘The government will borrow that much from the bankers—to help the bankers and tax the masses on their cigarettes, etc., to pay the banke ers interest on loans from the bankers to help the bankers...! And the loans still remain as part of the nation’s debt to the bankers! Good heavens, what a game of graft! One of the first things a Workers’ and Farme ers’ Soviet Government in America would do is to ery and war! It calls for a fighting alliance of the toilers of the farm with the toilers of the city against capitalism! To smash the rule of capitalist robbers and war makers! To transform capitalist war into civil war of the poor against the rich! To establish in America the one gov- ernment that can and will defend the toiling masses, & Workers’ and Farmers’ Soviet Goy- ernment! The Workers’ Delegation to the Soviet Union Returns \N December 20, the American Workers’ Dele- gation sent by the Friends of the Soviet Union, to the fourteenth anniversary, returned to the American workers, commencing with meetings in New York. All trade unions and workers’ organizations have been invited by the Friends of the Soviet Union, to elect delegates to greet the returning American Workers’ Delegation. Among those to greet the returning delegates, will be a commit- tee of hunger marchers, who were refused the floor in Congress. “The mass meeting of welcome will be held at New Star Casino, on Sunday, December 27, at 2p. m. The delegates will report. The Amer- ican workers will learn why there is no unem- ployment in the Soviet Union. Why there are steady wage increases with a seven-hour day and a five-day weck. The meeting is to be an answer of the Am@r- ican workers, pledging their support for the de- fense of, the Soviet Union. The following letter was received trom Novo- Tossisk, U.S.S.R., from R. B. Hudson, chairman of the F.S.U.
