For the last two years the miners could not make enough conditions got so bad that the to buy clothes and books to send their children to free schools. I have four children of the school age and last year I could send none of them to school. them to school for a few days This year I sent two of but they had to stop, as they had no:shoes and not enough clothes and sufficient underwear to keep them warm. One Meal a Day | Our food is mostly pinto beans seasoned with salt and cornbread, without shortening or milk. Some- times we have only one meal a day. ‘We never eat three times in one day. Working hard all day from morning till night in the mines bring us noth- ing more than the above rations. Jailed for Organizing Last March I was working at Stan- fill, Ky. About the first of March I joined the United Mine Workers of America. On the 15th the boss fired some of the men for joining the union. The rest of the men walked out in protest and the mine did not work for some time. Every one of us were blacklisted. 4 We miners were fired and black- listed for merely organizing to fight starvation—to get enough to feed our wives and children. The bosses hire thugs and gangsters here to break} every union we try to organize. They have thrown tear gas among crowds of miners and their families. They | blew up some of our relief kitchens | and killed some of our leaders. | I am 38 years old and never was | in jail until last August 27. I was| fixing a man’s car at Eleomb when eighteen of the John Henry Blair gun thugs arrested me and seven more. They threw us in a dirty jail where we stayed seven days. They had no} warrants, but claimed that we were | banding and confederating. They | kept one of the miners in jail for 15 | days claiming that he had a’ still) near his house. Us miners searched all over the place and found that the statement of the officers was false. | They then charged this miner with banding and confederating. He has | a house full of little children with | no mother to take care of them. ‘The two Jones brothers went from here’ to a speaking at Pineville—it was @ meeting of the National Miners Union. ‘These men were fired. They never belonged to a union, but they joined when the bosses fired them. ‘The men in Elcomb don’t make} over $1 a day and are forced to trade in the company store where they must pay a higher price for their goods. Call for Help ‘The coal companies own thousands of acres of ground in Harlan County and the miners cannot get enough for @ garden. The operators are agaimst us in every way. Winter is here now and we are without food and clothing. Who can blame us for organ|izing to strike. We want a liv- ing wage and the right to organize. ‘We will fight: hard. We have suf- fere@ much pain and misery. Please give ‘ns a helping hand in our hard strugyle. e «@ * Editorial Note: Money and clothes for the relief of the Kentucky min- ers should be sent to the Workers International Relief, 16 W. 21st St., New York City.

Kenmotsu Departs for Soviet Union Writes Letter Pledging to Fight Imperialism SAN FRANCISCO.—After spend- ing 9 months as a prisoner on Angel Island, in San Francisco, Sadaichi Kenmotsu, the Japanese worker threatened for 3 years with deporta- tion to fascist Japan left for the So- viet Union, December 16th, on the North German Lloyd, S.S. Witram. He will land in Bremen, Germany, January 19, 1932. He will call for his visa in Berlin, from where he will | proceed to Moscow, U.S.S.R., where he will be the guest of the Russian workers and peasants, who through the MOPR offered him the political asylum. A group of his fellow work- j ers saw him off. He left a written message in which he bade farewell to American workers and to continue in the revolutionary ranks—looking forward with great anticipation to | Visit the Workers’ Fatherland. Despite the fact that Kenmotsu was a prisoner for 9 months, Immi- gration Officers forced the payment of money for his prison food, and the Internal Revenue collectors’ forced the payment of income tax, although Kenmotsu earned very little, as most Japanese workers do. | Kenmotsu’s letter follows: | | Angel Island, Frank Spector, San Francisco, Calif Dear Comrade Spector:— T want to send this short greeting | to our International Labor Defense. T was saved by the I.L.D. from de- portation to Japan, the fascist coun~ try. I realize by this that I am in the hands of you, namely, I belong to you-—-the revolutionary movement. I pledge here to continue the revolu~ tionary movement up to the end. 'This is the only way to answer for your comradely support against deporta- tion to, Japan, j Japanese imperialism already be- gan to fire on the Chinese masses, looking for the opportunity to at~ tack upon our Soviet Union. At this time, I am sent bf you to the Soviet Union, where workers and farmers rule. Where the Five ear Plan is going on splendidly and successfully. You send me to our Fatherland upon whom every imperialist country is preparing to attack. It should be my duty to defend, with you in Amer~ ica—our workers’ Fatherland against imperialism. U. 8, Government succeeded to de- port me due to the reason that 1 belong to our Communist Party, But the government is unable to “de- port” our Party and its movement which has the historical necessity and importance. Our Party is the only historical Party to lead the masses’ struggle, aiming at the emancipation of the exploited and oppressed. Just a few words as the greeting to all of you before I leave the coun- try. Fraternally yours, SADAICHT KENMOTSU. To Use Negro Cops Against Richmond Negro Workers RICHMOND, Dec. 22—Taking their cue from other cities where Negro Policemen have been used with background while their fellow Negro tools did the dirty work. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) police ahd the bosses have been particularly brutal, should have rajlied to the Subscrip- tion drive of the Daily Work- er, which helps to unite the workers in all revolutionary struggles against boss terror and starvation. But California has thousands and thousands of militant workers, and so have Colorado and Washing- ton, yet we haven’t heard very much from them. New York did pretty well with 99 months of subs, but it will have to do better to make good its chal- lenge to Chicago. U.S. USES “DIPLO (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) nese banditry in Manchuria so long as the Japanese confined themselves to looting Manchuria and converting Manchuria into an armed base against the Soviet Union. . With: the Japanese threat to invade China proper an extremely tense situation is developing between the imperial- ists of the United States and Japan. Admit Menace of New World War, ‘The threat of a new world war for the spoils of China is admitted in a statement issued by Dr. Wellington Koo, Nanking foreign minister, and appearing in yesterday's imperialist press. The statement is evidently in- spired by the United States. The New ork Times interprets it as “an appeal to the United States under the Nine-Power treaty and the Kel- logg-Briand pact.” In his statement Koo refers to the former policy of the United States of curbing Japan in Manchuria, stressing especially the policy followed under the Roosevelt administration, and declares: “While the Manchurian situation appears on the surface to be a Chi- nese issue, it is essentially an in- | ternational problem of the first magnitude. Upon its solution de- | Pends to a great extent the world’s outlook for the future. World peace and security will be determined largely by the nature of the settle- ment of this problem.” Reveals ‘Japanese Looting of Manchuria, Japanese imperialist interests in China is the belated admission of the United States imperialists that the Japanese are engaged in the most outrageous looting of Manchuria. This looting was openly and tacitly supported by the Wall Street gov- ernment. The United States im~ perialists had no objections so long as the Japanese plundering did not menace their own plunder. These are the same gentlemen who frothed at the mouth when the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union took back from the capitalist thieves the plundered resources of- the country. Banks, Railwsys, Etc, Seized By Japan. Admission that puppet govern- ments have been set up all over Man- churia by the Japanese, that rail- ways and public utilities have been seized, that banks, coal mines, power plants have been taken and given to Japanese concerns, is contained in a dispatch to the New ork Times from its Darien correspondent, Hallett The dispatch sees the other im- perialist powers being squeezed out by the Japanese, It admits that even while the League of Nations and the United States were indulging in their sham “peace” maneuvers in Paris, “the Japanese had virtually completed the seizing of a tight grip on Manchurian political, transporta~ tion, economic and financial organ- izations and now are in undisputed control.” . The present Chinese offi- cials are all puppets of the Japanese. ‘The governors, the mayors, the bu- reaus, all have Japanese “advisers” “whose slightest word of advice is tantamount to a command.” As concrete! examples of the Jape~ nese looting of Manchuria, the dis- patch cites the fact that while on Sept. 18 the Japanese South Man- churia Railway owned 691 miles of track, today it controls and operates 1,388. In addition there are two light Chinese-owned industries and later re-open them under Japanese con- trol. This happened in the case of several rich mines. Express Hope of Soviet Action. ‘The Washington government is do- its utmost to force Japan to carry the original Wall Street policy of the Soviet Union into war. icy aims both to crush the let Union and to wedken the posi- of Japan through a war of ex- haustion. Washington officials have avidly picked up a rumor peddled by Le Journal of Paris to the effect that Moscow had “decided to propose that the Mongolian (Soviet) Government equip an army for action in the event sue “In one word. you reproach us with intending to do away with your property. Precisely so: that is Just what we intend.”—Marz. 49. churia.” , ‘The Washington imperialists read into this rumor the interpretation 755 More Months a Subs: for Saturday, Monday; Keep Up Level for Rest of Week PRESSURE” TO SPEED JAPAN TO ATTACK THE SOVIET UNION A direct outcome of the present | sharp ‘clash “of United States and} of a new conflict in Northern bose Hurry up, you other dis- tricts.

MATIC forces in Mongolia with which to op- pose the Japanese advance, particu- larly if General Honjo should at- tempt to penetrate into Inner Mon- golia next spring. “This would be a normal deve- lopment in the present circum- stances, according to expert opin- jon here. That it has not come earlier has occasioned some sur- prise. It would mean, in the best Judgment here, that Russia was at last taking serlously the Japanese advance in Manchuria,” U. S. Army General Reviews Nanking ‘Troops | Major Gen. John L. Hines, com- mander of the United States Army’s Department in the Phillipines has just concluded a tour of inspection of the troops of the Nanking gov- | ernment. He reports these forces to | be “in good shape.” The Nanking troops were trained and armed by the imperialists for use against the Central Chinese Soviet Government and the Chinese Red Army. In three major campaigns against the] Red Army, they were completely beaten back. This is an almost open admission that the Hoover government was aware of plans to involye the Soviet Union in war and at the same time and indication that the U.S. impe- rialists will insist that Japan stick to its role as spearhead for an at-| tack against the Soviet Union. ‘The French imperialist press yes- terday opened an attack on the pro- posed treaty of non-aggression be- tween France and the Soviet Union, Nanking Cabinet Resigns In Body Anticipating another upsurge of the mass anti-imperialist movement in face of the Japanese move to seize Chinchow and arvance beyond the Great Wall, the entire Nanking Cab- inet resigned yesterday, leaving Gen. Chen Ming-shu, acting head of the executive Yuan, to hold the bag. The ,central executive committee of the Kuomintang is reported in session in Nanking for the purpose of “reor- ganizing the government. The Cantonese group is reported to be spliting up into opposing factions. The local Canton situation is re- ported “most difficult because of the military split and the resignation of Chang Fah-kwai, from command of the ‘ironsides’ because Gen. Chen Chi-tang, Cantonese Supreme Con- troller, desiring to disarm Chang Fah-kwai, ordered him to remain in Kwangsi instead of leading his troops northward.” A sharp struggle be- tween the Chinese militarist cliques is undoubtedly going on, reflecting the sheer antagonisms between their different imperialist masters. Partisan Troops In Guerrilla Warfare In Manchuria, the partisan forces have divided into small bands in or- der to carry on guerrilla warfare against the Japanese, while refusing pitched battles with the strong Jap- anese armies now in the field. In the Fakumen-Changtu district, 7,000 partisan troops are reported harass- ing the Japanese advance. Partisan troops are also active north of the Peiping-Mukden Railway, and in other districts of Manchuria.

Most of the chcarity organizations themselves are in a crisis. Many are cutting down sharply on the amount of relief they formerly handed out per family because the demands on} them are go great, and because the capitalists are conssciously following the policy of getting the workers used to lower and lower living standards. In Duluth, Minn. the “Bethel” a} religious charity outfit closed its| breadline. The workers, desparate with hunger, stormed a grocery store | and took food, rather than starve. | This situation is common through- out the country—the bosses are cut- ing down on the amount given out at the breadlines and in the charities. This shows more than ever the necessity for increased struggle for relief. To meet this situation, the National Committee of the Unem- ployed Councils, stressing the need for mobilizing for February 4th, Na- | tional Unemployment Insurance Day, has issued a special letter on the necessity for immediate organiza~- tion to carry forward the struggles tails of this letter are contained in another section of today’s Daily Worker. Several Elements in Lathers Union Seek-| ing Office for Jobs Rank and File Warned | Not to Play Into Hands As elections for a new adminis- | tration to replace the provisional one now in office draws near in Lathers Union, Loca! £44, elements who con- sider the intuests of the rank and file workers of secondary importance | end those formerly near to the oust- | ed officials are beginning to assert | end groom th mselves for officé, One. ele:nent that hovered in the vicinity of the expelled officials dur- ing their maladministration is now agitating for election on the grounds that they alone can get the Building ‘Trades District Council of Greater New York to recognize the new ad- ministration, something the bureau- crats of the district council have re- fused to do to date. Seek Spoils of Office Several of these elements are known for their past petty grafting activities and rank and file mem- role of the kicked-out grafting of- ficials. ‘The fact that they claim that they alone can get recognition from the district council gives weight to the indication that the big bureau- crats of the building trades fear a| true rank and file administration in the lathers union. Another element, anxious to fill the official capacities of the union are those who demagogically enough mouth militant phrases, but whose actions in the past lead the over- | whelming majority of the rank and file to suspect them of. mere office holding aspirations, and as such not likely to serve the best interests of the workers. Lathers Need Be on Guard In pointing to these small but ac- tive elements in the local, rank and file members stressed the import- ance of not repeating the error of electing those who in any way were connected with the ousted clique of officials who betrayed the workers to the contractors. ‘“‘Only those that the workers know were fighting for the interests of the rank and file for years and opposed the clique, not only in words but in deeds, deserve the support of the union members to guarantee a straight from the shoul- der honest rank and file administra- tion,” several workers said.
