Kentucky Miner Tells How Garrett Strike Was Won (By 2 Worker Correspondent) GARRETT, Ky.—The recent strike st the Standerd Elkhorn Coal Co. ts won. Won! Right im the fece of ter- ‘or, repression and Hoover starvation. A careful analysis of the strike will prove that to stop the Hoover wage- vatting campaign it takes only # care- dity planned militar strike. You must hand it to these native born, ved-blooded Kentuckians who called ® strike and managed it with the | thoroughness of veterans—and won. While the liberals were telling that ‘hey could not win. ‘The strike started when a 5 per vent wage cut was declared by the sompany. The miners walked out 100 ver cent. ‘The miners demanded: 1) Maintenance of the present wage scale, 2) Reduction of house rent by half. | 3) Reduction of mining expenses. A) Recognition of the checkweigh- man and the mine committee. 5) Installation of a company store where miners can trade with no tee boseaey on their scrip. Said CHARITY DENIES NEGRO RELIEF Salvation Army Sent Cops to Jail Him (By a Worker Correspondent) WILMINGTON, Del.—The follow- ing information was handed to me by & member of the Unemployed Coun- cil; W._H. Lee, an unemployed Negro worker, went to the Salvation Army for a basket of food for Christmas day. The Salvation officials told him that they would have to investigate his case. When he came back again he was told that some 6ne called to see him, but no one was home (which, of | course, is not true) and that if any of the baskets were left he would get one on the following day. The next day he returned and upon seeing many baskets full of food, asked for one. The Salvation Army officials thereupon called two pclice- men and told them to take the Negro worker out on the grounds that he wes a nuisance. For the last week or so the Wil- mington papers have been full of stories of the “wonderful” things the Salvation Army has been doing for the elles To Mobilize South | Side Workers For | Fight on Terror CHICAGO, Il.—Meetings to mobil- ize workers against police terror on the South-Side and for the repeal of the anti-labor syndicalist laws will be held under the auspices of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights | * and the International Labor Defense at the, following places and dates Tuesday, Jan. 5, Workers Hall, Sist and Whipple, 7:30 p. m.

CLOSING STEEL PLANT OUSTS | 2,000 WORKERS Coatsville Textile Toil- ers Earn Less Than - $15 per Week (By a Worker Correspondent) COATESVILLE, Pa.—The Luken: | Steel Co, a very old independent | concern, is the leading industry in two thousand workers, but, now only on part time basis at that. Always a low paying firm, it now pays its workers with cheap food, which they are obliged to buy in the so-called Lukers Employees Coop- erative. The workers are also worse than shacks. The wages in the factory averages from $30 to $50 per month—a third of the 1929 scale. Speed-up. Fearful speed-up there is too.

Needless to say that the bosses of this exploiting concern are the leaders in political, religious and civic life of the town.) The Bethlehem subsidiary, once very important here, is now a thing of the past. It moved to Sparrows Point, Md., where they say they can operate with fewer hands. The clos- ing of this plant was a real catastro- | phy. The two thousand colored and foreign born workers who have been out of work for over a year, starved and ragged, would have no place to | work even if business were to im-| prove. The future of the unemployed workers under capitalism is dread- ful to contemplate. In the Textile Mills. Working conditions in the local silk mill and garment factory are worse than terrible. According to in- formation I gathered here, the wages are from $3 to $15 a week for the girl workers. Sanitary conditions in the garment mill are revolting. The owners of the shop regard the workers as chat- ties. They have no concern whatso- ever for the comfort of the workers. Conditions in the silk mill are not much better. $6 and $7 a week is the average rate of pay. Some lucky” weavers are making as much as $20 a week operating four looms and working ten hours per day. ‘Wages in this mill have been cut twice since 1929, the owner amas- sing a great fortune out of these So.

British Imperialists In India; Order More Slaughter {CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Indian bourgeoisie the absolute ne- cesity of dropping even phrase-mon- gering in view of the rising revolu- tionary struggles of the workers and peasants. Gandhi and Nehru reject an armed uprising of the millions of Indian workers and \peasants against the British imperialists who rule by blood and iron. The fact that Gan- dhi’s program of “peace” is breaking down and losing its hold on the mas- ses is recognized by the American capitalist correspondents in India. The New York Times correspondent cables: “Despite Mr. Gandhi's promise to keep the struggle peaceable, it is clear that India is in for a de- ‘Another sympton of real mass struggles coming from the impover- ished peasantry is contained in a wireless report from New Delhi. This report states: “Splits in the All-India Congress ADVERTISE our ings halls Your “affairs” Your demonstrations the Kill Two ranks were apparent in Northern India before Mahatma Gandhi's arrest. In the United Provinces a new ‘no-rent’ campaign has caused series of differences among Con- gress politicians, who fear it will set the landlords against the Con- gress party and will sidetrack the proper development of the Nation- ist movement.” Gandhi and Nehru represent the lat.dlords who do not want the mil- lions of Indian peasants to call a ‘no-rent’ strike. Nevertheless these struggles are growing. It is these peasant uprisings, Jed by the revolu- tionary party of the Indian prole- tariat, the Communist Party, that will develop the real revolutionary Movement for the overthrow of British imperialism. In England, th eLabor Party is again exposmg its complete subser- vience to British imperialism. George Lansbury, leader of the Labor Party —his majesty’s official opposition— simply “deplores” Gandhi’s arrest and the new iron measures against the Indian masses. With the usual liberal phrases that MacDonald used to prepare the present wave of sup- pression, Lansbury tries to hide from the British workers the enormity of the new war measures against the Indian people, So far as Gandhi himself is con- cerned, he is treated with the ut- most care by his British collabora- tors. An Associated Press dispatch from India reports: “Gandhi seemed pleased at being taken to Yerawada prison, for it was there last year that he sald the British had made him a ‘pampered prisoner’ giving him a number of comforatble rooms instead of an ordinary cell.” How different from the treatment, of the Indian workers and peasants who are arrested and tortured sav- agely.

Liberator to Be Out Regularly from Next Issue ‘The Liberator, weekly organ of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, has not appeared regular- ly for the last month. This has been due to the fact that Jack of ‘nance has cripples the apparatus for getting the paper printed and matled, However, & complete reorganiza- sion has taken place in The Liber- vtor which, beginning with the next issue some time this month, will enable it to come out not only regularly, but early enough for the paper to. reach districts in time for effective distribution, This is cer- tain. In the méantime, districts and gtoups of the LSNR are urged to mimeograph leaflets explaining the role of The Liberator in the fights of the Negro and white workers for unemployment insur- ance, against evictions, for wide- spread distribution in working class neighborhoods and before factories, as 2 preliminary step in acquainting broad masses of Negro and white workers with The Liberator.

PRESS USES “BOMB PLOT” IN WAR MOVE; ‘CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) (the police) are inclined to trust, the bomb squad heard that Soviet Russia had sent agents to all parts of the world with instructions to begin a series of outrages which would raise more discontent with the capitalist system.” The “Daily Mirror,” another filthy rag that has always carried a strong odor of anti-Soviet provocation con- ceived to arouse a war hysteria against the workers’ fatherland, fab- ricates in the following manner: “Already they have turned up evidence which the post office of- ficials and Department of Justice agents believe will eventually lead te the lair of the King of Terror- izers, described as a rabid anti- fascist and Red killer, especially imported from Soviet Russia to carry on a nation-wide bombing campaign,” Recalls Fish Forgeries. Like the Fish documents of over a year ago proved to be crude forger- ies engineered by the New York Po- lice Department, ezarist and white guard agents with the aim of pro- voking an economic boycott against the Soviet Union, so the “dynamite plot” of today proves to be an ob- vious fascist scheme, a plot of terror, jail and repression against the work- ing class and part of the war move against the Soviet Union. Despite the frantic efforts of the police and press to bolster up the entire affair, they are finding it difficult to cook up evidence strong enough to convince anybody. Viola and Cipolla, who were jailed in Easton and Allentown, amid loud shouts from the press that the bomb- ers were caught, were released for lack of evidence, The Pennsylvania state police did their utmost to frame them in order to make a case against the Communist Party. The Communist Party, in de- nouneing the stream of lies that are appearing in the capitalist press, points out that the bosses who con- trol the city and state know well that the Communist, Party stands opposed to individual violence. I[n- dividual violence is always the act of either outright agents provocateur or petty-bourgeois anarchists who give up in hopeless despair and do not recognize the mass revulution- ary struggle of the workers as 1 way out of the capitalist crisis. It should be clear to all workers that the Communist Party orgavizes the workers and poor farmers for a revolutionary struggle to oyerthrow the capitalist system of oppression and violence and to establish a Workers’ and Farmers’ Government. This crude fascist attempt to in- volve the Communist Party should be denounced by every worker's mass organization throughout the United States. Further organization of the American workers to demand unem- ployment insurance, to strike against wage-cuts and to defend the Soviet Union must be the answer of the workers to this new ¢error plot of the police, fascists and underworld elements. A CORRECTION ‘The story published in the Daily Worker of December 31st, disclosing new facts about the recent lynching im Salisbury, Md., stated that these disclosures had been made through the efforts of an investigator for the International Labor Defence. ‘This statement was incorrect. The facts published in this story were revealed by @ special investigator for the Crusader News Agency and the Lib- erator, ek PR ar Se Sa dat At the Eighth Anniversary cele- bration of the Daily Worker, held Sunday by the New York District, the workers of New York adopted a resolution pledging their support of the first provisional government of Soviet.

It was emphasized at the New York meet- ing that subscriptions to the Daily Worker drive are an important fac- tor in establishing a united front of all workers against the imperialist butchers, Workers of America, rally to the call of the Chinese Soviets.

Aided by the Kuomintang betray- ers of China in occupying the Chin- | chow gates to Inner China, the Jap- anese are now pushing on to the city jof Shanhaikwan, inside the Great Wall in China. The counter-revolu- tinoary Nanking government {fs again aiding the Japanese advance, offer- ing not the slizhtest resistance to the movements of the Japanese troops. Japanese cruisers and troop ships have already landed strong naval and military forces in Shanhaikwan and in Tientsin, further south. A con- siderable Japanese force is in occu- pation of the territory between Shan- haikwan and Tientsin. Japanese de- stroyers have been dispatched to the citysof “Foochow on the pretext of the killing of two Japanese by angry Chinese workets ‘protesting the Jap- anese sejzure of Manchuria and the murder of thousands of Chinese work- ers and peasants by the Japanese. An invasion of Jehol Province, Inner Mongolia, is also threatened. The Japanese invasion of Inner China is evidently being carried out with the approval and sanction of the Wall Street, French and British imperialist bandits under the agree- ment for the partition of China and war on the Soviet Union. These pow- ers have made no protest against the entry of the Japanese into Inner China, The United States, France, England and Italy have strong forces in Inner China. They will no doubt soon create a pretext for joining in the attack on the Chinese masses. Aimed at Chinese Soviet Government This attack is aimed at crushing the mass anti-imperialist, anti-Kuo- mintang movement, and destroying the only stable government in China, the First Provisional Government of the Soviet Republic of China. It is aimed at settling accounts with the Chinese Red Army which has three times beaten back the attacks of the ‘Nanking lackeys of imperialism, even though the Nanking troops were arm- ed by the imperialists and aided by their gunboats on the Yangtze and other Chinese rivers. The attack on the Chinese Revolution is a prelude to armed intervention against the So- viet Union. U. S. Consular Officials Beaten By Japanese Sentries A United States consular official, Culver B, Chamberlain, was attacked | and severely beaten up on Sunday by Japanese sentries in Mukden. Chamberlain was proceeding to the railway station in a motor car flying the American flag and with the American Consul General's coat of arms prominently displayed when his car was stopped by the sentries. The attack on Chamberlain is both symptomatic of the general terror instituted by the Japanese in Man~ churla and of the antagonisins aroused among the Japanese military forces as a result of the hypocritical maneuvers of the United States and Japanese governments over Stimson’s fake “protests” against the Japanese occupation of Chinchow. While the American imperialist press Is making much of the attack, Washington officials have comment- ed on it in the most casual way. A Washington dispatch to the New York Times indicates that the Wash- ington officials. do not consider the incident sufficiently serious to men- ace the secret understanding between Japan and the Wall Street govern- ment for armed intervention against the Chinese Revolution and the Soviet Union. In any case, they feel that the incident will offer a good pretext should the ccasion arise and should Japan cease to cooperate with American imperialist policy. U, 8. Gold Aids Rape of Manchuria. ‘The United States is nob only giy- ing tacit and open support to the Japanese seizure of Manchuria, but’ American gold 1s financing the war on the Chinese masses. This admis- slop ig made by Charles Dailey whe states in the Kansas City Star of Jan. 1: “Nearly all the money that is making this conquest possible American gold. The United States, therefore, ix profiting in a finan- cial way by the making of another Japnaese concession. Japan realizes that by making the American its banker, the United States will con- tinue its financial development of Manchuria . . Within the secret understanding between Japan and the United States, Manchuria is to be converted into an armed camp and military base against the Soviet Union. This is now being accomplished. Admit Soviet Union Fights For Peace. Speaking over the radio Saturday from Berlin over the nation-wide Columbia, net-work, Frederick Kuhn, Central European news manager for the United Press, admitted that “Manchuria is being transformed into a Japanese colony.” He reported a ruthless Japanese censorship over all news sent out from Manchuria. Foreign correspondents have been shadowed day and night by the Jap- anese, he said. In his radio talk, Kuh admitted that the Soviet Union stands for peace. His trip through Siberia and his investigation in Manchuria, as well as the reports of foreign ob- servers, proved that stories of Soviet aid to the Chinese militarists were false, Kuh said, adding that peace was necessary to Russia for its in- ternal development. Upper Class Chinese Sell Out To Japanese. A Mukden dispatch reports that the upper class Chinese are openly supporting the Japanese invaders in Manchuria. A large number of these scoundrels were present at a formal reception on Jan. 1 to signalize the birth of the new puppet government in Fengtien province. General Honjo, Japanese commander in Manchuria, was represented by his chief of staff, General Miyake. Posters announcing the Japanese intentions to invade Inner China ap- peared on numerous billboards in Mukden on New Year’s Day. Floyd Gibbons, Universal Service corres- pondent in the war zone, predicts that the entire Gulf of Liaotung will soon become a Japanese lake, with the Japanese seizing Shanhaikwan Teachers in Mexico City Strike in Order to Get Back Wages (Inprecoss ‘Press. Service) | MEXICO CITY, Jan. 3—The school teachers in the State of San Louis Potozi have gone on strike to enforce the payment of their salaries which are long overdue. They have decided to organize a hunger march to the capital, Mex- ico City, which is about 500 kilo-| | meters away. The authorities have no money for the teachers, but are determined that the teachers shall not make a noise while starving. One hundred fifty of the striking teachers have been arrested. The legal and medical colleges in the State have been closed for a tem- porary period of five years on the ground that those students who graduated in former years are un- able to obtain any sort of employ ment and it is no use adding to their ranks.

Weber's car and its occupants rode to Pineville without further incident, which is rather strange because such autos as the union can secure in the coal fields are prone to tire trouble and other difficulties attesting the pover- ty of their owners. oe 8 STRAIGHT CREEK, Ky., Jan. 1— The first injunction was served on the National Miners Union on the first day of the strike. And it is a bad one. The Pioneer Coal Co., got out and served an injunction on New Year's Day against the miners: Frank Mason, Charles Nick, Henry Williams and against the National Miners Union prohibiting those named or “persons citing through, by or under” the union from coming on the pros perty of the company at Straight Creek, or form “circulating any liter- ature, making any speech or uttering any language on said property and to any employee of said company for the purpose of inducing said employee or employees of the plaintiff to quit work.” Of course the usual melange of injunction against ‘‘vidlence” ap- pears also. It only necessary to know that the coal companies own practically every toot of ground in the Straight Creek miners’ houses stand on and all the territory between the mines, to un- derstand that this is a prohibition of all activity of the union. It is a slave injunction; it is a gag injunction; it is an injuction not only against picketing, striking or organizing but against even talking about striknig or organizing. The N. M. U. will issue a sharp statement in condemnation of the injunction, and plans to carry on organization work and strike leader~- ship in spite of the injunction will be made, The Straight Creek mines are al- ready on strike. oe PINEVILLE, Ky. Jan. 1—Bill Meeks, secretary of the Southern dis- trict of the National Miners Union and the intervening territory between that city and Chinchow. He reports foreign opinion that the Japanese plan to “go straight down to Can- ton.” Japanese Bomb Civilian Population. Gibbons denies the Japanese re- ports that their bombing planes dropped only leaflets on the Chinese cities of Koupangtze and Chinchow. He reports that these cities were bombed with great loss of life to the Chinese inhabitants. Gibbons reports obtaining a fragment of one of the bombs together with pictures of the havoc created by the bombing. A dispatch from the Far Eastern Press Correspondence exposes a new move by the counter-revolutionary Nanking government fo rdirect nego- tiations with the Japanese looking towards official surrender of Man- churia to Japan. The dispatch states: French To Aid Nanking Sell-Out. “Fenprecor has received exclu~ sive information emanating from an Individual who sits with the highest in the councils at Nanking. M. Wilden, the French minister to China, is understood to have been entrusted with the task of making all arrangements with the Chinese authorities which will lead to the opening of direct negotiations with Japan concerning * the disposition of Manchuria and the negotiation of a New Sino-Japanese treaty.” The dispatch is dated Nov. 2. Yesterday’s New York Times carries a confirming dispatch from Paris, as follows: “Counsels to China to accept the occupation of Manchuria and to negotiate directly with Japan for the settlement of other differences are given abundantly today by the French press. It is said even by those who have firm faith in the League of Nations that there is nothing more the League can do and it is recalled by Stephen Lauzunne in the Matin that China has not in any way paid her an- nual contribution to the League even under the special plan which was made for her to catch up in her arrears.” ‘This ls clearly @ revival of the pra- and Norman Link, another official of the Union went out on the first day of the strike and organized a new local at Darton Branch, near Pine- ville.
