They have reported that six men went in to work at Gomerco yesterday because there was no relief for them over the week end, Nevertheless our relief committee was able to keep them out today by carrying relief orders to the men. The miners will stand solid, the relief committee reports, if we can keep their babies fed. Two new strike babies are reported to have been born during the strike.

More than 3,000 Iowa miners are now out on strike against the pro- of a basic wage scale of $4.70 for an eight-hour day, and in Counties The demands of these miners are ‘a basic wage scale of $5 for a six- hour day and five days a week. This demand was again confirmed at a mass meeting of 2,000 miners in Union Park, Des Moines, Saturday, Sept. 9. This meeting voted to stay out until this demand was won. This meeting also accepted a motion to send a notification td the president of District No, 13 of the U.M.W.A. Frank Wilson, that if he didn’t come to the next mass meeting to be held Monday, Sept. 11th, the miners would not any longer consider him as their president, Wilson had been invited to speak at the meeting held Saturday. How- ever, he didn’t show up and this made the miners even more mad than they were before. It was looked upon an insult to the striking miners. Last Spring the miners of Iowa were forced into an agreement, that aaginst the vote of the the District 13 officials. agreement stiplated a basic scale of $4.70 for an eight-hour ithern counties the op- A letter published in the Des Moines Tribune, ® local capitalist sheet, will show very good under what, again asked to leaveethe room and The doctor who was not identified Shahian at his office again at 2:30.

Only 10 per cent of the miners made $4.70 a day. Those working on ton- nage had to work hard to make $3 a day. According to Burke, a local President, the average wage has been $2 for eight hours work. Many miners didn’t work eight hours a day, So consequently, they made even less. The miners of Iowa when working, work only 180 days a year, The year- ly earnings of an Iowa miner when working is $360, The UMWA district Officials refuse to publish the results of the referendum taken on this agreement last Spring, Strike Started Sept. 1. This present strike started Sept. 1st, when 150 miners walked out at Chariton, in protest aaginst the de- lay of reaching an agreement on the coal gode, and has now developed to a struggle against the NRA ad- ministration’s proposed code, The UMWA officialdom have irom the very beginning of the strike, been doing everything possible to sabotage the struggle of the miners, and have tried every method to get them to go back to work under the old agree- ment. Their argument is that the contract with the operators is being violated. The answer of the miners was coming out 3,000 strong, and staying |i secret. | ing that he publish point 55, and letters from the district officials. One local at Williamson decided to go back to work, The next morning a picket line kept them out. Scandia Mine in Madrid, where 500 miners work, went out 100 per cent. Sept. 8th, 100 went beck again, but the | same night they voted to stay out | again. This as a result of a mass picket line. When the pickets ar- rived, the nervous coal operators called the sheriff and his gang. The vace-president of District 13, U.M.W.A,, made a statement Sept. 7th, that if he would tell the miners point 55 of the code, they would never go back to work. So he is keeping The miners are demand- This strike was pulled over the heads of the officials, and should prove to all our comrades that the Iowa miners are of the same material as the miners of other fields. Iowa is no exception. In spite of the fact that ho strike leadership is estab- lished, the miners are staying out. The U.M.W.A. officials have been running around trying to get the miners to go back to work, but the miners are keeping the ranks solid. More miners are coming out, The strike can and must be won.
