Va. — Our local leaders have held back four months of check-off dues from the U. M. W. A. district 31, amounting to $1,600 or more. Otr local carried debts of | $500 for sore kind of expenditure | about which many of the miners know nothing. The district officials of the U. M. W. A. knowing that they could not get the dues from the local officials, came to an agreement to split on a fitty-fifty basis with the local offi- cials the money from the ch2ck-off. In this way they will be able to keep the miners paying dues for more graft. The miners in our local do not know for what purpose the money will be used that the local officials, together with. their brother grafters of the district, held up. We still continue to pay dues to a bunch of | U, M. W. A. fakers. Our local has a membership of over 600 in the Puroglove Coal Co., Mine No. 2.

Th: I asked the Pawy and they didn’t help me either, Fin notice came that the Bronx Sectia? where my unit is located, had to organize a League of Struggle for Negro Rights branch, Then the League gave me more attention, but still the Party didn’t help. The Party comrades flatly told me they woutd help me only if I brought the Negro comrades to their meetings. Soon the next meeting came around and th2 Negro comrades, who worked at night, came home from work early at 11 p.m., and we went to the Party meet- ———_2:SSK8Kv¥vae_eCaSCRT}je3}tsjes—x6—w@@—@—=@mT0(<—g9@” eee eee SSS SSS SSS save Yound my chance in the Party Life -aee ysublems pertaining to the Young Communist League, Party, LS.N.R. and took all the comrades into the Party.
