Strikebreaker John L. Lewis and his well-oiled machine are working overtime to meet the bitter fight that the rank and file miners will make on the floor of the International convention of the United Mine Workers of America that opens January 23 in Indian- apolis, Indiana. In the Danville sub-district of the U.M.W.A., one local elected 12 delegates who will go into the con- vention and to fight the Lewis strikebreaking machine, calling for a united fight of all miners against the slave codes and for the miners rights, Of these 12 dele- gates, six are of the left wing group, and the other six supported them on many issues, mainly on the fight against Lewis’ stranglehold. E THE Progressive Miners Association, with its spe- cial brand of fakers like Pearcey and Keck, the Sangamon Mine No, 20 local was able to elect real rank and file operators. These are just straws in the wind. But they are not enough. The forces of reaction are strong and well-entrenched and only the most determined struggle by the miners can lead to vic- | tories for them, From the Central and Western Pennsylvania dis- trict we recelve no news whatever on the election | of delegates to the U.M.W.A. convention. ‘These are decisive flelds.

The broader task is to build up the united front of all miners through creating rank and file opposition groups that will fight from day to day on the demands of the miners, preparing for struggles, and making it impossible for Lewis to continue his betrayals. §33.A Year of Great Strike Struggles Against NRA Offe | End Year With Heavy Real Wage Cuts | Workers; Struggles Began Before RA Was Adopted and Codes Passed i By HARRY GANNES bg Nanking, Shaken by ‘Mass Upsurge, Sets Up Martial Law ‘S. Rushes 1 Warships, Supplies Nanking With Bombing Planes SHANGHAI, Dec. 31—Martial law was clamped down over wide areas of Kuomintang China yesterday in an attempt by the discredited war- lords to crush the mighty anti-impe- rialist, anti Kuomintang upsurge in |the cities, and the increasing armed peasant insurrections occurring be- hind the lines of the Nanking armies attempting to invade the Chinese So- viet Republic and the province of Fukien, where Fukien werlords are in revolt against the Nanking regime. The force of the mass upsurge and the degree of fear gripping the Kuo- mintang betrayers of China is shown in the extent of the marital law de- cree, which includes the cities of Tientsin, Peiping. Hankow, Kaifeng and Hsuchow, as well as Shanghai jand Canton, where martial law was already in effect. Extensive “precau- tions” also have been taken along the Tientsin-Pukow and Peiping-Hankow railways. U. 8S. Warship at Foochow The U. S. ‘and other imperialist powers, financing and directing Nan- King’s sixth futile crusade against the Chinese Soviet districts, are rushing warships to Chinese ports against this new upsurge of the Chinese Revolu- tion. The U. S. destroyer anchored yesterday in Foochow, capital of Fu- kien Province, under the pretext of “protecting” the 140 American citizens in that city, who already are safely domiciled on Nantai Island, in the South Min River. Large forces of Jap- anese and British warships are also present in the harbor. The Nanking regime, which is using bombing planes made in America and manned by American-trained pilots, against Pukien and Communist cities, yesterday assured the Wall Street Government that its aerial raids would avoid areas where Americans are concentrated. Foreigners in Foo- chow were advised to concentrate on Nantai Island, and those in Amoy were directed to assemble on Kulang- su Island, in order to give the Nan- king regime a free reign for its mur- derous aerial attacks on unarmed Chinese civilians, U. 8. Furnishes Nanking with Huge Bombers Five million dollars of bombing planes were supplied to the Nanking regime by one American firm alone during 1933. Each of these new planes carry 1,200 pounds of bombs and is capable of flying 1,700 miles without refueling. An effective arm against the Japanese invaders of North China, these heavy bombers are used exclu- sively against the Chinese masses. In fierce fighting yesterday along the Fukien-Chekiang front, the Nan- king troops were again forced back in the Taishun and Kingyuan sectors, where Chiang Kai-shek, Nanking dic- tator, has taken over personal com- mand, turning over direction of the anti-Communist campaign in Kiangsi Province to Gen. Hsiung Hsi-hwei.

J., reveals that this com- pany has an order for 70 latest type bombing planes for delivery in 1934 to the government of Colombia. The planes are to be equipped with the most modern machine-gun and bombing apparatus. They are also to have the best obtainable radio trans- mitters of a new type that will assure them a communication range of more than 2,000 miles. It is said that the actual construction of the air bombers has already been started in the shops of the Consolidated Aircraft Corp at Buffalo. The American Armament Corpora- tion is an enormous munition-making concern. On its letterhead are the fol- lowing cheerful inscriptions: “Rifies, Hand Grenades, Machine Guns, Aerial Bombs,” etc. Most of its employees are well paid, and it is claimed that every effort is made to keep them all satisfied, Revolt Spreading Thruout _ Argentine Rebels in Control in One Province BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 31.—Martial Jaw was declared throughout Argen- tine last night as the armed uprising, led by the Irogeyen wing of the Ra- in Brazil. ‘Three Ministers who have resigned within the past few days are: Jose Americo de Almeaida, Minister of Public Works, Joaquim Pedro Salgado, Minister of Labor, Osvaldo Arranha, Minister of Finance, and Dr. Afranio de Mello Franco, Minister of Foreign Affairs, dical Party, gained headway in five Argentine provinces. The rebels are in control of Entre Rios province, after defeating Fed- eral troops at Santo Tome and num- erous other points throughout the province. Fierce fighting is pro- ceeding in the four other ‘affected provinces, Santa Fe, San Luis, Cor- nsive; According to the class-conscious worker who gave out the information herein, there is no depression existing in the munitions business, He stated that the American Armament Corp. alone had made sales totalling more than $18,000,000 to Poland during 1933. Also that large shipments had been made and were still being mode to almost every Jarj: European power, and to Japan and the Kuomintang government of China. Special staffs of experts are main- experts, bomb experts, chemical ex- perts, and so on. The supreme touch of irony lies in the fact that the American Armament Corp. also sells all sorts of medical and battlefield hospital medicines and supplies, and maintains a large and efficient staff of doctors and surgeons to develop the most efficient salves, poultices, surgical knives and what not to be used on the victims of their own diabolical manufactures. rintes and Buenos Aires, where armed groups have attacked arsenals, police stations, coast guard stations, post offices and fire houses in many cities, particularly Rosario, where a san- guinary battle occurred last night. Government troops last night ar- rested 400 persons in Parana, Entre Rios province, as the uprising spread to that province, with rebel victories at Santo Tome and other points. Mass arrests have also occurred in Buenos Aires, Rosario and other cities. Reports from the interior indicate that Federal troops in several in- stances joined the rebels. At its convention several days ago, the Radical Party decided to boycott the forthcoming elections, on the grounds that they would be mani- pulated to retain the present gov- ernment in power.

Norman Thomas, Socialist leader, urged the workers in the face of the j bosses’ attacks that “Now is not the time to strike.” The Socialist lead- ers, with their left phrases, supported |the A.

Textile strikes took Place in all states of New England, in the South, in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and New York. No ; Wonder, then, that the first code of the N.

Yet strikes were doubling and trip- |pling. The workers were not waiting |for the codes to shackle them. But began their struggles for higher wages and better conditions. In August and September alone, | over 400,000 workers went on strike. With the development of strike struggles, and believing that the N. R. A. granted them the right to or- ganize, over 500,000 workers flocked into the A. F, of L. particularly in coal and textiles, But the A. F, of L. leaders soon discovered that these workers were not permitting themselves to be bound and tied by the code shackles the Roosevelt regime soyght to place on them, | abe and after codes were passed strikes broke out in the two basic industries, coal and steel. The’ revolutionary trade unions, under the leadership of the Trade Union Unity League, particularly the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union, took the leadership of the strikes in the steel industry, lighting the spark which threatened to blaze into @ general coal and steel strike, This movement frightened he Roosevelt intervened egch time, helping the U, M.
