Va.—Two hundred and forty men | ave already died, and 560 are expected to die within the 1ext/five years, from silicate dust strangulation acquired in tunnel construction work near here, it was revealed. The | majority of the men affected are Negro workers, | (Silicosis is the name given ®—— 0 the infection resulting from | vadually inhaling glass dust} ained out of quarries. The glass ust gradually cakes the wall of the) angs and solidifies into glass. There | 3 mo remedy for this condition. E About 640 of the Negroes affected ere said to be from Georgia, Ala-| ama, Arkansas and North and) outh Carolina. They were employed t starvation wages to drill a three tite tunnel under New River at lawks Nest here at 35 cents an hour, he wage scale for drilling work is 3 cents an hour. Several lawsuits of the Negro orkers were thrown out of court, but (47 so far have settled with the com- yany for $235,000.

The NMU demand that the miners are not to be forced to| ‘Ive in company houses or trade at sompany stores was granted. No Guarantees But with the alliance made be- tween the coal operators and the UM WA officials there is no guarantee hat even these will be carried out. The government is permitting the ode to come out only piecemeal, try- ng to unload it on the miners a little at a time, so they will not feel the full blow of it. The NMU urges all miners imme- diately to discuss the code and con- wrast it with the code presented in Washington by the NMU. ‘The NMU urges the miners to elect mine committees to put up their own demands, fight for the concessions which are supposed to be granted, to fight against the check-off and the wage cutting scheme tied up with it. Lewis and the coal operators hope that when Roosevelt signs the code the fight will be over. But the code which perpetuates the starvation con- ditions of the miners will not stop the fight. The fight of the miners il continue, especially when they find out that their wages and con- ditions will be made worse, and their organization and right to strike are sought to be smashed. ‘The fight against the check-off es- pecially should be fought tooth and nail. This is the main poing tied up with the so-called recognition of the UMWA and for the right to check-off dues, Lewis has given the operators a thousand ways to slash wages. Tears of joy were shed, the spaci- ous backs of UMWA officials were patted, coal operators clasped one an- other's hands in delight when the coal code was agreed upon, as all fGmitted, at least for the time be- ing, the biggest strikes ever witnessed in the United States was avoided by a-hair’s breath. The miners have yet to speak when they learn how the coal code per- petuates their starvation, along with a few slick phrases, and an alliance between the coal operators and the UMWA officials. | For weeks, capitalist news reporters here have been clamping the lid down on the strike sentiment of the miners, the steel and auto workers. Now a few of them come out with a} bare statement of the facts, as for example, the New York Times cor- respondent, who wired his paper as follows: “A general strike of soft coal miners, spreading to the steel and automobile industries appeared to be imminent and hung by a thread during the past few weeks.” William B. Wilson, former secre- tary of the UMWA, and now in Washington, shed copious tears of joy, when Lewis agreed to the oper- ator’s code. Only a skeleton outline of the coal code has been published, but even this is enough to show that Lewis has agreed to the starvation wage seale of the operators in return for the check-off whereby the coal opera- tors wili take hard-earned dollars away from the miners and turn them over to Lewis and his grafting strike- breakers. The code adopted is to last for only 6 months, from September 1 to March 1, 1934. A special board is set up, called the Bituminous Coal Industry Board, tO supervise the code, and on this boerd will be representatives of An- drew Mellon, Rockefeller, Morgan’s U. S. Steel, and John L. Lewis, to take away all independence of action of the UMWA. Never have the coal operators been so joyful as at the present, thanks * to the strikebreaking activities and sell out of the UMWA officials, -—— jpend Labor-Day Weekend “Friday night to Tues. morning) “Camp Wocolona LODGING IN BUNGALOWS $3.00 for Week-End $4.00 for Week Fine Iedvitig Wotkers Center, 50 F. 13th Street Saturda: at 1:30 sharp.

The International Labor Defense is in charge of his | case, NEW YORK, Aug. 30—A sharp | protest against the attack on Thdmas Torigian and his jailing| was made in a telegram sent to the Chief of Police of Lynn by the Daily Worker today. The telegram, signed by C. A.| Hathaway, editor of the Daily) Worker, reads: “Daily Worker protests unwar- ranted arrest and attack on Thom- as Torigian, authorized Daily Wor- ker representative in Lynn. We de- mand he be freed immediately and permitted to carry on his legiti- mate activity without interferetice. We also demand the prosecttion of the police odcer who brutally as- saulted him without provocation.” Utah ‘Strike Terror Is Still Spreading (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the veritable civil war PISPAEES OAS of the coal operators, “One woman who was viciously beaten on the picket lines is near death. Four hundred miners are still in jail, held on $2,000 bonds each. The Spring Canyon district, where the strike, is on looks like a battlefield. The three truckloads of ammunition, machine guns, bayo- nets and rifles sent in om the order} of Governor Blood, have been dis- tributed. Machine guns have been set up at the mine pits. All roads are patrolled by armed gunmen, in an effort to keep the pickets from congregating. Paul Crouch, strike leader, and his wife are being held incommuni- cado. Special posse’s are hunting for Charles Guynn, an official of the NMU, and strike leader. All are in the greatest danger of their lives. Fearing that the miners will be} able to resist the attacks of the gunmen, Governor Blood is now preparing to send the National Guard into the field to bolster up the _strikebreakers. With union headquarters raided and smashed, the strike leaders in jail, the miners have issued a stir-| ring appeal to workers throughout the country to help them in their fight. Funds for defense and strike relief are needed immmediately. Because of the reign of terror here, it is urged that all funds be sent immediately to G. Kaplan, Interna. | tional Labor Defense, Room 209,) 1515 Larimer St., Denver, Col. The Denver office of the LL.D. is in touch with the strikers and will transmiit the money to them. Must Protest Unless there is an immediate na- | tional protest the danger of a mas- sacre increases. Protest resolutions | should be sent immediately io Gov- | ernor Blood of Utah, at Selt Lake City; to President Roosevelt in Hyde Park, N. Y., demanding the armed attack against the strikers stop immediately; that the miners be given the right to strike and picket. Unless there is an immediate rush of telegrams, many miners face death in the armed attacks. The NMU has been growing rap- idly in the Utah and New Mexico coal fieldds. After winning several strikes, under the NMU leadership, more miners flocked to its ranks. The operators, advised by the UMWA officials broke their agree- ment. A new series of strikes broke out. The strike spread from mine to mine, until it appeared certain that a general strike would grip the Utah coal fields. Then the terror began. Not hav- ing enough gunmen in the Spring Canyon valley, hurried calls were set to Salt Lake, Utah, for new re- eruits. In spite of all provocation, and the imminence of a massacre at tack, the miners are holding their ranks firm, determined to win theit strike and build the NMU which has won improved conditions for them { Don't forget the International Labor De- | fense Excursion. “AN Gee on ths Madcon,” | ptember ard.

NRA Orders Cops to Raid Strike Office | of FurnitureUnion Try Terror in Effort to Drive Strikers Back to Work NEW YORK.—Under instructions from the NRA headquarters, five detectives and one uniformed cop today raided the headquarters of the | Furniture Workers’ Industrial Union, | which is leading a strike of 1,000 frame workers, upholstery and mat- tress, box spring and bedding workers for higher wages and improved con- | ditions. “This is our meeting from now on,”| said one of the detectives, as he slammed the door shut at 818 Broad-| way, and refused to let anyone leave. | A few minutes later, a Mr. Intner, | owner of the Intner Mattress Co. cops. The Jewish Socialist newspaper, “The Forward,” has been advertising | \for scabs to fill the places of the | furniture workers out on strike in the Progressive Table Co. | ‘The raiding NRA cops, under the pretext of searching for weapons, ran- | |sacked the office. Intner told the cops | that the union had pulled out his mex | on strike and was holding them pris- | oner in the union office, against their | will. | Before Intner came, Jack Rand,| one of the organizers called the union | men to order in a meeting, and ex- plained to them that this raid was| |an attempt to terrorize the men back to work. | The cops ordered the strikers of the | Intner Mattress Co, into a separate | |room and did not allow anyone in, |including leaders of the strike. Union officials called up lawyer Krauthamer, who represents the Fur- | niture Workers Industrial Union, and when he came to the office and de- manded to talk to the Intner workers, he was thrown out by the detectives. Finally the detectives were forced to admit that his workers came out on strike of their own will, and were | continuing to strike for higher wages | and better conditions. Jerry White, a young worker, how- | ever, was arrested on the framed up charge of having “dangerous weap- ons.” “We will also charge him with doing something in the Bronx,” said one of the detectives. At the time the Daily Worker went to press, the detectives returned and are still searching the office. With the help of the NRA officials, the bosses have been using evety means to break the strike. They got an injunction out in the Progressive Table Co, against the union stating that Mr. Peiser, organizer of the union is a “notorious Communist,” | and that Sokolar, a worker who was strike, as “an agent of Moscow, work- ing with Moscow against the NRA.” Terzani, Framed Anti-Fascist, Is | Released on Bail United Front Defense Committee Plans to Fight for Worker NEW YORK.—Athos Terzani, young anti-Fascist worker, framed up on a charge of killing his comrade | Anthony Fierro, in a fight which | broke up a meeting of the Fascist Khaki Shirts of America in Astoria, on July 14, was released on bail yes- terday afternoon, g@fter spending 47 days in the Queens County jail in Long Island City, He was given a rousing reception by many friends in the office of the united-front Terzani Defense Committee at 94 Fifth Ave. Bail was provided by the committee in the form of property put up by friends of Terzani and of the committee.

(relief) agent in Mon- ifieth, where I get my relief, gave me 22 shillings ($5.00) for a couple of weeks. Now he has cut it to one pound to stimulate me, as he said, to look for work. “T asked him if he knew how many were registered on the Dundee La- bor Exchange (employment office) and if he expected me to get a job ahead of them, and he just stut- tered and sputtered around, but did not answer. “He said he couldn't continue to pay me able-bodied relief so long as I was staying in a tent. I said that tent is my home until I get something else, and if he could get me a house, o.k., if not, shut up. I told him the British government accepted me from the American gov- ernment, and they would have to take care of me.” Shoe Union Charges False Arrest | Adjourn Case of 6! Shoe Pickets NEW YORK.—At the Gates Avenue Court yesterday, Magistrate O'Dwyer adjourned the case of the six shoe strikers arrested in a test case at Grover Whalen’s behest while picket- ing the Elco shoe plant, The case will be heard again next Wednesday morning. Although Jacques Buiten- kant, attorney of the International Labor Defense defending the strikers, | granted by the judge on the plea of the attorney of the shoe manufac- turers that Buitenkant was :pipposed to get a writ of habeus corpus for the strikers. In a statement yesterday Buiten- kant declared that the court has proper jurisdiction over the arrested strikers. and are able to settle the cage. Besides the complaint against the workers did not charge violation of the NRA, the statement declares, therefore, even if a writ were ob- tained it would not properly test the issues of the atrest. Since the work- ers were charged with conspiracy in violation of Section 580 of the Penal Law and not for any acts violating the NRA, it is the intention of the Shoe and Leather Workers’ Indus- trial Union to institute action against Grover Whalen, the police and the manufacturers for unlawful ahd un- justifiable arrest when the case is dismissed. ‘The wnion also contem- Plates action in the federal courts to | enforce the rights of the workers un- ing to Buitenkant. ‘The TUUC Is calling an extra ses-/ sion of the Council for Friday night | at 7:30 p.m. at 37 Hast 13th Street to take up Whalen’s attack on the tfade unions and the report of the Cleveland conference.

Another City Hall Meet Planned by 4 Unemployed Groups DiscussionsHeldToday at League for Indus- trial Democracy NEW YORK.—Plans for another joint City Hall demonstration will be discussed at a meeting of four central bodies of unemployed organ- izations called for today by the Workers Unemployed League at the League for Industrial Democracy. The organizations involved are the Unemployed Councils, the Workers Unemployed League, Association of Unemployed, and the Workers Com- mittee on Unemployment. According to stories appearing in the capitalist press, anouncement has already been made by the League that the proposed demonstration will take place on Sept. 8. In the letter sent to the Unem- ployed Council inviting them to at- tend the meeting with five repre- sentatives, the following basis for the demonstration is laid down: “The basis of joint action shall be that of the June 6 demonstration.” In answering the letter sent by the Workers Unemployed League, the Unemployed Council said that in the June 6 demonstration this same or- ganization excluded the Unemployed Council front the delegation and from speaking at the demonstration. The reason for this was because the Unempioyed Council refused to dic- tate to trade unions and other work- ers bodies how they should parti- cipate in the demonstration with re- gard to carrying banners. Also the letter went on to remind the Unemployed League, that: When the Council brought five times as many workers down to City Hall, the other organizations marched away from the place. Therefore on the basis of these facts the letter stated the Council could not accept the June 6 action as the basis for another demonstration. The letter pointed out that today’s meeting was supposed to set the date for the demonstration, and that the cate announced by the League with- out consulting the Council does not give full time for mobilization. The letter concluded with the fol- lowing proposals: all organizations throughout the city to be mobilized without exception to participate in the demonstration; date to be set jointly to allow for fuller mobiliza- tion; and the masses of workers are to be prepared by joint local united struggles.

Justification for these lines is also supplied by the track and field angle in Huey’s background com- piled by persons with maliciously elastic memories. The Solon of the South, it would seem, has been as- saulted and chased in turn by one 70-year-old governor, two diminu- tive lawyers and a one-legged citi- zen of Columbus, La. Allegations have been advanced to the effect that racing (which used to be the Sport of Kings has come to be the Sport of Kingfishes. You know the story. Ihe press has been blaring its “Button, but- ton, who slammed Huey on the but- ton?” tune for days. You know Huey’s explanations. “A member of the House of Morgan sneaked up on me with a blackjack. The doc took two stitch- | es over my eye. _ “A gang of New York plug-ug- lies jhired by the Interests, knifed me.” It has been suggested that one of the fashionables resented Huey’s drinking manners, raised a plucked eyebrow then did as much to the senatorial facade with a vigorous | twister to the mush. | Our own news story seized the| benefit of the doubt and implied that a Negro musician whom he} had insulted in the course of the evening retaliated with a punch. oes T’S not a really engrossing mys- tery. Much more fascinating has been the character of the tidal wave of publicity which followed. The controversy has inspired vastating writing American jour- nalism has seen in many a year. After absorbing this, his eighth straight shellacking,y Huey was dragged over the coals by a vindic- tively sardonic set of reporters who pounced upon the rare opportunity of writing without shackles about a man in Long’s position. The ridicu- lous little Hitler-Billy Sunday-Wil- liam Jennings Bryan man has be- come a temporary safety valve for the healthier instincts and resent- ment of the boys you see swarming around in newsreels, hanging anx-, jiously on the words of some stiff- collared horse’s rump. _ Huey is backed by strictly local interests and the boys were given all the latitude they wanted.
