The 60 employees to be discharged include teachers, clerks, mechanical workers and matrons, In addition to thees “economies” which will cut down the education department budget by $336,000, a one- month furlough without pay will be forced on the teachers in December.

The Guild was formed with a con- stitution which gives the workers no right to say anything about their | own affairs, Everything. is up to the officials, who are the bosses’ agents. During its four months of existence the Guild did not call one single membership meeting, but its officials made bargains with the bosses on the hide of the workers without the work- ers’ consent and without even con- sulting them. These agreements call- ed for even worse conditions than those previously existing in the in- dustry. The workers finally realized that the Guild is nothing else than the in- strument of the bosses, and their only privilege is to pay the $90 a week salary to the secretary, Anthony Ray, a former restaurant owner, who gave up his business in order to become a “labor representative.” Selling the workers into slavery to the bosses would bring him a better income than his restaurant, he figured. New Assessment Defeated Last Monday night, at the mem- bership meeting of the International Geneva Association—the largest affi- liate organization of the Guild—the betrayed workers put up a militant fight against the Guild and defeated @ resolution of the boss-tool officials, who called for a new assessment for the support of the boss Guild and the fat salaries of the Guild officials. How good the Geneva members’ judgment was in defeating the Guild was further proved when on Wednes- day morning all the striking Waldorf workers received a telegram from the Guild calling upon them to scab. This action openly exposed the strike- breaking role of the “Guild and its crooked officials. All honest workers who still had some illusions towards of the bosses, our enslavers! A Hotel Worker. Maryland Bar Ass'n JoinsAttack onAdes Seeks to Disbar Lawyer for Defense of Negroes BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 2€.—In- tensifying their fight to cause the disbarment of Bernard Ades, In- ternational Labor Defense attorney, for his work in defense of the civil rights of Negroes, especially in the Euel Lee case, the Grievance Com- mittee of the Maryland Bar Asso- ciation is preparing an “investiga- tion” of his activities. Ades now faces disbarment in federal court, on charges arising out of his defense of Euel Lee. A general denial of the charges has been filed. The “investigation” of the bar as- sociation is based on a request from one of it members to inves- tigate charges made against Judges of the state by Ades. The Griev- ance Committee, twisting this re- quest around, is investigating Ades instead, and pretending to do so on the basis of the demand for an investigation of Ades’ charge. A broad campaign, involving the most prominent white and Negro Jawyers in the east, as well as the masses of white and Negro workers for whose civil and court rights the I. L. D, is fighting, is being devel- oped by the organization. WIS.

The strike has demonstrated the correctness of the analysis of the recent meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the United States, Miners Militancy In the face of the most thorough strikebreaking preparations, the rank and file miners exhibited a deep go- ing militancy, a will to struggle that brooked no interference or damming up. The deep going and increasing Yadicalization of the workers, sweep- ing away all obstacles, as shown by the anthracite miners, bears out the declaration «f the party that “A new strike wave is maturing through- out the country on the very heels of the strike wave of the past year.” The rank and file of the United Anthracite Miners Union wanted to strike. They joined the new union several months ago because of their complete dis-illusionment with the U, M, W. A. machine led by John Boylan, president of district No. 1. They felt that with a new union, the rank and file would have a better chance to put up the struggle which Hard Coal M iners Maloney, of Anthracite? . Spread Swi ke; Defy Writs, Union M. isleaders were to call a halt to the wage cut- ting speed-up drive of the operators, in co-operation with the government, which was draining their life blood. Cause of Strike It was the sharpening of the at- tack on the hard coal miners which made them realize that they must either fight or be driven into fur-| ther starvation. Their pay had been slashed to almost nothing. Unem- ployment and part time work were the rule. Mechanical mining brought the speed-up. Pay for dead work Was cut out. Contract work was in- stalled. The Agreement was made @ scrap of paper, disregarded by the operators. With the N. R. A. As Its Keystone “The New Deal,” declares the C, C. resolution of the party, “has led to a further impoverishment of the toiling masses.” Nowhere is this condition more pronounced than in the anthracite. : The rank and file of the union, at the convention calling the strike, swept Maloney and Cappellini off their feet with the vehemence of their unanimous demand for an im- mediate strike. Once on Jan. 2, Maloney succeeded in postponing a. strike. But a second time, on Jan. 13, the miners would not hear of any pestponement. U. M. W. A. Members Strike The deep seated demand of the rank and file miners for a strike, a strike which would win them decent. working conditions and a living wage, was shown not only on the conven- tion floor.. It was seen when local they knew was inevitable if they Sunday, Jan. 14, to declare a “holi- day” and join the strike called by the Anthracite union. Local Union 1616, U. M. W. A., with 2,200 mem- bers, which includes the Henry and Prospect collieries, even before the strike began, declared a “holiday” and joined the strike movement, as did the Exeter colliery, U. M. W. A. with 700 men, and others. Later the Harry E and Forty. Fort miners, U. M. W. A, took similiar action. The rank and file of the U. M, W. A. took this action in the face of the fact that the U. M. W. A. machine of Boylan has been the biggest strikebreaking weapon in the hands of the coal companies, acting as open scab herders for the’ operators. Role of Union Misleaders “The masses are beginning to over- come the great illusions .which they had in the New Deal and which were furthered and greatly strengthened by the support given to Roosevelt by A. F. L, social fascist, and liberal leaders,” says the C. C. resolution of the party. Certainly the over- coming of these illusions, and the will to strike, were strongly evident in the anthracite situation, despite these social-fascist misleaders in both unions, Strike Outlawed The sharpening of the crisis, as analyzed by the Communist Party .

There are a number of other reso- lutions such as demanding accounts of expenses, etc. The fact that the International officialdom has spent in the period of the last two years $1,977,753.51 raises the demand that a strict account be given of the ex- penditures of this tremendous amount of money. Wide Opposition Indicated It is characteristic that these resolutions come from all parts of the coal fields of the U. S., indicating the widespread opposition and dis- satisfaction and growing realization on the part of the miners as to the real role of the arch strike-breaker | John L. Lewis and his International Board and his appointees in the Dis- tricts, It is also very characteristic that the only organized opposition forces at the Convention are the ones led by the Communists and rank and file elements who are be~ ing supportea by 200 to 300 antis Lewis delegates, although they are unorganized. ‘The Musteites introduced through Local 105, Mt. Carmeh Pa., (An- thracite District No. 7) only two resolutions and both of them are of a character that exposes the real role of Muste inside of the U. M W. A. One resolution asks the Con- vention to substitute the words in the Constitution that miners are to | receive “equitable share” of labor in “full social value of their labor.” How is this to be ac- complished under capitalism? The second resolution of that local is for the Labor Party. The Convention, however, packed with the paid officials, appointees of Lewis ant his strong-arm men, will not satisfy the needs of the miners. Nobody should by any means have the impression that the 33rd_Consti- tutional Convention of the U. M. W. A. represents the opinion and will of the miners organized in the U. M. W. A. Very far from it. There is tremendous contrast between the resolutions submitted to the Conven- tion and the actual acts of the Con- vention, It shows very definitely the growing gap between the rank and file members and the officialdom of the U. M. W. A., which long ago went over on the side of the bosses and their government against the very interests of the miners and the working class. One more characteristic of it is that there are four resolutions in- troduced demanding anq defending the right of the miners to belong to any organizations they please, in- cluding membership in the Commu- nist Party, which the constitution of There is a sentiment among the rank and to | file miners of the U. M. W. A. with the miners organized in other unions and with the masses of miners who are unorganized throughout the country. On the basis of this it is clear thet now it is an opportune time to unite the opposition forces inside of the: U. M. W. A, to undertake the task of winning the local unions, sub- districts and districts from the con- trol of the Lewis machine. This task confronts the miners — this is the task confronting the rank and file delegation at the Convention in Indianapolis, as the next step in the struggle against Lewis, and the grows ing realization on the part of the miners that the road to victory of the miners leads over the dead body of the Lewis Machine, Los Angeles CONCERT given by I.

The Scranton Republican, as well as the anthracite boss press as a whole, termed the strike “illegal” and “outlaw.” The state government, headed by Governor Pinchot, openly came out with its full strikebreaking force even before the strike began.
