Vhen the strikers suggested that the | x Mcovery Advisory Boatd could pro- pose to the Pequot Mill management, the elimination of the vicious speed up plan, he stated: “It is impossible for the Advisory Board to help you workers while you are out of work, we can only settle disputes while you are on the job.” This statement openly advising the strikers to re- turn to work, betrayed his real pur- pose: to place the settlement of the Advisory Board. The strikers openly rejected such an offer, for they are convinced that they can rely on one force only, and that is on their own organized strength and solidarity. They are determined to continue their strike until their demands are granted. State Board Opens Hearings. ‘The State Board of Arbitration, which had postponed its hearings on the strike of 1800 workers against the Pequot Mill wili definitely open the hearings today, it was announced. ‘The strikers are preparing to attend the Arbitration Board meeting to present their side of the story of vicious speed-up in every department, of numerous wagé-cuts through com- plicated schemes of the mill manage- ment together with the U.T.W. lead- ership. But they are determined not to allow the Arbitration Board to settle the strike. This right the strikers intend to keep in their hands, and theirs alone. Relief Urgent. The strikers again appeal to all workers’ organizations, to all readers of the Daily Worker to raise and send in funds for relief.

Donbas Station, | Voroshilov Paris Commune Mine No. 4. | Dear Comrades of the National Miners Union: Well, American coal miners, I am letting you kxow something about the Soviet Union coal miners and coal mines. Something in capitalist America doés not exist anymore and that is, we, the Soviet Miners, be- ginning first of June, 1933, will get another wage increase, while in America I suppose you will get an- other wage cut. | The American capitalist does not | understand any other language but | wage cuts for the workers and in| the mines there. That has been true for a long time, for those who still have a job. In the Soviet Union the Bolsheviks understand another lan- guage, the language of the working class which is wage increases and better conditions for the workers. On June ist we get a general in- | crease of 10 percent and the ones who | fulfill the plan 100 percent will get another 10 percent on top of that. If the worker does better than 100 per- cent he gets another 30 percent on top of that and a fund will be set aside for all such workers to provide for @ premium. We get the premi- ums now but under the new plan it will be bigger and regular after the 1st of June, T already got many premiums. On the Ist of May I got 90 rubles premi- um and I made a pay in April of 621 rubles for the month which filled my plan assignment more than 300 per- cent. In March I filled the plan 247 percent and each month much like that, I also want to tell you that we in the Soviet Union get one month va- cation every year with full pay and I will get mine in July. I am cut- ting coal here and do I like it? Fine boys. We work 6 hours @ day and work four days then rest the fifth day. Such as this was never in America for the working class and never will be as long as you have capitalism, for-eipitalism is not go- ing to do anything for the working class. They tell you that prosperity is around the corner but you need a damn good flashlight to look for it. Before you find prosperity you will be dead from starvation, because there is nothing like prosperity for the workers under capitalist rule and the only place that has rity and future for the workers the Soviet Union. I will tell you again, American coal off. “What am I going to do,” I asked the woman in charge, and I was told to go to a private doc- tor.

(By a Worker Correspondent) PITTSBURGH, Kan.—Most all the deep mines around here are shut down. Nearly all the coal taken out now is done with steam shovels. Then the land becomes unfit for raising anything, and there are mil- lions of acres made useless because of these steam shovels. Great val- leys are left in the wake of the shovels and water collects and forms ponds. ‘These places cannot sustain any kind of life because the water is Hundreds of Miners Lose Jobs ‘The coal operators should be made to level the ground after they have taken out the coal. I has been estimated that by levying a 50-cent per ton tax on coal, this would cover bal labor cost of filling these strip pits. More than two-thirds of the miners are unemployed around this section. One shovel at Minden, Mo., one of the largest in the world, does the work of hundreds of former miners. Coal sells here from $1 to $2 per ton delivered. So you can see that the miners’ conditions are bad. Miners Oppose Lewis. The miners are about 85 per cent opposed to Lewis and the role the United Mine Workers is playing. But they are compelled to sign up or lose their jobs. Try as they like, to put Lewis out, they can’t, because the Lewis machine counts the votes and keeps itself in power with the aid of the operators. By forcing the men to join the U. M. W.,, and thereby paying Lewis his $12,000 a year salary, while many families are suffering hunger and cold, what difference does this make to the bosses? None whatsoever.

They expect to call meetings of collieries which have been closed |down and have the unemployed miners elect delegates to the U. |W. A. convention this month. The miners will have to go over the heads of the officials if they do this, as the officials have forbidden the closed down collieries to hold any meetings. We held a meeting of the unem- ployed and got reorganized, and you could almost feel a new response as @ result. The workers are taking an actual part in the organization. There was no mechanical election by us of the executive and the work- ers themselves felt this, also that they actually were responsible for the setting up of the committee. The press here reported they heard from an authoritative source that the U. M. W. A. officials had signified their willingness for a wage reduction, provided that the coal operators would guarantee the miners “now at work” an equal division of the work- ing time. Some comrades were un- der the impression that there would be no wage reduction, that the coal Operators will be satisfied with in- flation measures, and I don’t know my Marxism if inflation does not mean wage reductions, although we use the term indirectly, Of course it will be a little harder \to make the miners understand this kind of a wage cut, but we will have to explain again and again until they do understand ‘Miners Discovering M.| Right | The Industrial Recovery Act makes | no provision for relief and for Un- employment Insurance. Instead it provi for forced labor on a mass scale. The $3,300,000,000 are designat- ed for public works and the building of wat materials but not a cent for unemployment relief. According to President Roosevelt, all the public works and the hiring of more men to do the existing work by reducing the work hours of each man, if carried out to the limits, can at most re- employ 3,000,000 men. Even these fig- ures are exaggerated. What will the remaining 14,000,000 unemployed do? The Industrial Recovery Act dooms them to horrible s| ation.

Even before the Act be- ne a Inw, they told the miners that the UMWA will be recognized, | that every one must join them now or else will pay high initiations after ihe UMWA is recognized. In this way, thousands were fooled into joining. Even if recognized, the miners can | expect no improvements with the UMWA leaders as_ frepreséntatives. Their history proves that. In 1931, they broke the strike of the 45,000 Penn-Ohio miners and also | the Kentucky strike. In 1932 they broke the strike and cut the wage: of the Illinois miners. The same year they broke the strike and cut the of the Ohio miners, In 1933, y already broke the Avella strike the Scots Run strike, the Anthracite strike and sevéral others, In 1931, they signed an agreement for the Scots Run miners for 2215 ents a ton, while the non-union hiners received 36 cents a ton. The Scots Run still work under Bittner's egreel it for 2214 cents a ton. They cut the wages of the Pittsburgh Ter- minal miners from 52 cents a ton in June, 1931, down to 34 cents a ton in January, 1933.

There is not a miner in the United States that has not been be- trayed-by them. Supporiing the Industrial Recovery Act, the UMWA leaders officially de- clare themselves against strikes. P. T.
