Page Four Miners “Won’ For Company Union By Gyp Captive Mines Had Stoolpigeons at Ballot Boxes By Labor Reseatch Association COMPANY union is fastened on the workers at the Dante mines of the Clinchfield Coal Corporation in Russell County, Virginia. The Dante election was held June 16 under the supervision of Charles B. Barnes, chairman of Division 1. Labor Board—South, and formerly “impartial chairman” in the New York needle trades. Results of the election showed 546 votes for the Clinchfield Employes Association (company union) and 274 votes for the United Mine Workers. In hte case of the Henry Clay mine at the Edgewater Coal Co., Pike County, Kentucky, the labor board revealed that workers had been fired for refusing to join the company union. By N.R.A. decision following upon the workers’ protest they must now be re-employed “without being required to sign any labor contract or join any par- ticular labor organization.” (Coal Age, July, 1934.) The Elk River Coal & Lumber Co. at Dundeen, West Virginia, is a company union mine and is sup- posed to settle its future status by a vote conducted under the new National Labor Board in the near future. This is likewise true in the case of the West Kentucky Coal Co., but from the past record of the Kentucky fields it is not difficult to predict just how the elections will be conducted, if left in the hands of the bosses and their allies, the National Labor Board. Frauds in Elections Further information has come to| light on the methods used in the elections at captive mines in No- vember, 1933, to determine the coal miners’ choice between the com- pany union and the U.M.W.A. Two boxes were used for the votes which | were “secret.” One ballot box was marked “accepted” and the other was marked “rejected.” Though the elections were con- | ducted under the supervision of the | National Labor Board the man in| charge of the ballot boxes was a company man. As the miners came up to the boxes with their ballots this man accepted them only when they were recommended by a com- pany stool-pigeon at his side. If the miner was not known as a militant the ballot would be ac- cepted; or it might be rejected on the pretext that it was spoiled if the miner happened to be known to be for the U.M.W.A. In this manner the company was able to win a victory for the company union. The policy of the coal operators | is now to favor the U.M.W.A., when necessary, though they of course prefer the company union. How- | ever, if the miners are sufficiently militant the operators come easily to an agreement with the officials of the U.M.W.A. In fact, one coal corporation is reported as recog- nizing the union in one of its mines, and at another mine retains the company union, which of course is far easier to manipulate than the UM.W.A. As a proof of this policy on the part of the operators one need not look further than the agreement made with the H. C. Frick Coke | Co. and other captive mines. This | | “San DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 19. By CARL REE “M\HERE are two to settle this strike: By mediation or by force. And it has to be settled.” This was the statement of Mayor Rossi of San Francisco to a dele- gation of striking marine workers, in answer to their demand for an end to the murderous attacks of the police on the strikers. Law and order are going to pre- vail,” Rossi said, on the very day when three strikers lay dead on the street pools of r own blood, and| twenty two other strikers were wounded by the pistol fire ‘of Rossi’s police. The workers of the Pacific Coast have been robbed of every one of their elementary rights—the right to strike—to picket, to organize and to assemble. The hordes of police, deputies, company gangsters and national guards are spreading a reign of the severest terror on the Pacificport waterfronts. On the same day that the mayor sneered at the demands of the striking marine workers and threw them out of his office, the San Francisco Ex- aminer, in an eight column head- line, screamed, “Troops move in on} Strikers.” Another headline stated. Francisco and Oakland Guardsmen Mobilize Like Wartime Action.” | Army Behind Terror | Col. R. Mittelstaedt, commander of the 250th Coast artillery, who | on July 6 issued his shoot to kill | orders, said a day later as the sol- diers moved in against the pickets, “The public must realize that the national guard is now part of the army of the United States and is | trained and equipped by the United States Government as are troops of the regular army. Our troops are officered by world war veterans and we propose to under- take the duty as soldiers in the | same manner as we would under- take a war-time mission. In view of the fact that we are equipped with rifles, bayonets, automatic rifles and machine guns which are all high powered weapons, the Embarcadero will not be a safe place for persons whose reasons for being there are not sufficient to run the risk of serious injury. “We have 4,000 additional | National troops behind us, and should this number be insufficient we can call the regular Army, Navy and Marine Corps to assist us. Law and Order will be main- tained at any cost.” ways CARL REEVE me IN THIS brazen statement, the head of the armed forces of the) government threatens to call out/| the army in order to keep pickets! away. | This threat of the army, and the assurance from the waterfront of backing from the Roosevelt govern- ment, was made while Roosevelt's “The Right Te Organ ize” This longshoreman was killed San Francisco cops while picket strike. . with the action of the police in getting the trains in this morning (strikebreaking)’ he said. ‘IT WAS A DIFFERENT POLICE FORCE.

The editorial states, “Unlawful assemblies may be dispersed by the police,” and described an “unlaw- ful assembly” as when three or more | persons assembled with “intent” to |commit an unlawful act. The right of the strikers to picket has been taken away by the police, the national guards and the vicious in- junctions. Governor Merriam’s proclamation placing troops in control of San Francisco and the county, is hailed by the capitalist press, which com- pares him to the strikebreaker, Calvin Coolidge. The Los Angeles Times of July 7, rants, “After ex- hausting all other means, the gov- ernor was finally compelled to resort to the only kind of an argument |which rule or ruin agitators (they }mean the marine strikers) are capable of understanding, an ap- | peal to force.” The editorial then raves against the “Communistic agitators” and declares “national forces are avail- able if needed,” concluding, “That blood has been spilled is to be regretted, but bloodshed in a righteous cause is preferable to a State wherein the fundamentals of law and liberty are menaced.” eS A. F. of L. Leaders Prevent General Strike IN THIS situation, where the very right of the unions of the Pacific Coast to exist has been challenged by the fascist terror, the leaders of the San Francisco Central Labor Council, backed by William Green’s | strike breaking telegrams, are play- ing a treacherous game. The de- mand of the rank and file of the A. F. of L. unions for the general strike to defend the elementary rights of all Pacific Coast workers has been thwarted by these reac- tionary leaders. The Joint Marine Strike Committee of 50, composed of all striking unions, of which Harry Bridges, is chairman, appealed to the Central Labor Council for an |immediate general strike vote of |all local unions, in the face of the murderous terror of the troops. The conservative leaders of the C. L. C., instead sidetracked the immediate |general strike by having a Strategy |Committee of Seven elected to “in- | vestigate” the situation.

Y.—A meeting be- | tween the publishers of the Long Island Daily Press and a committee jof the New York Newspaper Guild | was scheduled to be held last night to discuss recognition of the Daily | Press chapter of the Guild. This jis an indication that the publisher is backing down, At the same time plans are under way for a meeting of the Long Is- land Press Guild to discuss the ad- visability of a strike to enforce the recognition of the Guild. Pressure by the publisher against members of the Guild, forcing its temporary dissolution, resulted in the New York Newspaper Guild es- tablishing a picket line in front of the Daily Press office. Yesterday was the third day on which news- paper workers on various metropol- itan papers joined in the picket- ing. They carried placards de- |nouncing discrimination against the employes of the Long Island Daily Press as well as demands for the recognition of the Long Island chap- ter of the Guild. The “Press” yesterday emerged with a front-page announcement that a majority of its newspaper staff had signed a statement de- nying that they had been denied any rights by the publisher and al- leging that the picketing was not in their interests. ‘That this is a complete fabrica- tion by the publishers, for the pur- pose of bluffing its way out of the situation is seen from the fact that not a single signature is attached to the statement allegedly gotten out by the “Press” staff which in- cludes 20 members of the Guild. ‘Long litind Press Backing | Down As Picketing Goes on Newspaper Guild and Miss Emily | Brown, one of the employes of the | Long Island Daily Press fired be- | cause of her membership in the Guild.

Strikes Are A Disease, Says U.T.W. Leader Talk Strike Men, But Another WayToEmployers | NEW YORK — In the last few months, the A. F. of L. leaders of the United Textile’ Workers, Thomas W. _McMshon, president, and Francis Gorman, vice-presi- dent, faced with a wide demand among the rank and file cotton, silk, woolen and rayon workers for struggle against wage cuts (under the N.R.A. curtailment programs) and increasingly intensive stretche out, have been sending out statee ments about mass strikes. Howe ever, they have failed of action. For example, McMahon this week issued a statement that 30,000 cote ton textile workers in Alabama were ready for a strike that would “ene gulf the entire Southern textile ine dustry.” This strike, said McMahon, cannot be stopped, and will have to “run its course, like a disease.” But A. F. of L. officials speak differently when they talk to the bosses through channels that are For example, last Wednesday, V. C. Finch, Alabama representative of the American Federation of Labor, spoke at the luncheon of the Alabama Cotton Manufacturers Association. The speech, as quoted in the Daily News Record of Thursday, July 12, which is a paper for the textile bosses, and is not published to be read by the workers, contained the follow- ing, statements by this A. F. of L, official: “The textile employes in the South have always felt they were | the poorest paid of any industrial worker. Now they feel that the time has come to improve their situa- tion. Naturally, they are impatient and inclined to do things that some of us older ones in labor cannot ap- prove of. I appeal to you as em- ployers to meet with your employes and try to adjust your differences, and if that fails, to call in your in- dustrial relations board and let us try to settle any differences.” Celebrate Trade Union Solidarity Day With A Great Picnic Tomorrow NEW YORK. — Workers will celebrate Trade Union Solidarity Day tomorrow with a picnic at North Beach Park, Astoria Long Island. Leaders of important unions in Greater New York as well as a representative of the West Coast dock strikers will speak. An in- teresting program of entertain- ment and sports has been arranged.
