The report was given by Russell Eskin. delegate to the from Local Union No. 4439 of the U. MW. of A. Steel Workers called by the A. A. A de mn Wi also made to demand a special District Convention and to continue t fight for autonomy of District No. 4. There were other locals repre- sented but their delegates did not have credentials because some of the local officials, who are part of the Hynes-Lewis Machine, refused to iSsue credentials even though the membership voted to send the dele- gates. In one instance, in the Foot- dale Local, the president came with- out a duly certified credential be- Congress® cause the local secretary refused to put the local seal on the creden- tial. Billy Hynes, Lewis appointee for District President of District No. 4, issued a statement and circulated a letter in which he attacked the Joint Committee meeting. He tuled that this meeting, which was called by forty locals, is “illegal and unlawful.” He also notified all the locals to “Ignore this so-call con- vention.” However, this did not have any effect. Hynes’ circular also served notice jon the captive mine owners, Coal Digger, the American’ Miner and the Unemployment Counc! saying that they (the officials o! | District No. 4) were ready to fight {all enemies of the U.

UMWA Official Too Busy To Fight Mine Grievances By a Mine Worker Correspondent JOHNSTOWN, Pa—I am writing this letter so that miners in Dis- trict No. 2, and in other districts as well, will know what conditions ex- ist. here in Tire Hill, in the Bird Coal Company Mine, where over five hundred miners are slaving. These conditions exist due to the sell-out policy and treachery of our District and National officials and some of Lewis’ henchmen in our local. The.conditions in the mine are unbearable. Dead work is not paid for. If the miners work ten and fifteen hours they have to argue and fight with the boss to receive at most fi or five hours pay for dead We are forced to fight individually as the local officials take their orders from the Bird Coal Company and the District offi- cial: When any grievances arise, they Say nothing can be done. We write letters to our District officials, to James Marks, etc., but no action 4s taken about dead work or to im- prove our conditions. Hard Pushing In this mine we have a very hard job pushing cars. Every time a miner gets a car it takes three or four men to push it, and until a miner gets a car in his place he is almost played out. We have raised this Question for nine months. The Officials also refuse to put up a fight to place a hoist in every place where it is hard pushing. We sent letters to the District officials, but No action was taken. They are only interested in collecting dues so that they can get their salaries. A few weeks ago we took up this question again, and our local union decided to send three delegates to the District office in Clearfield, Pa. We sent our president, W. Shaffer, and~here is the report which he gave us: First, his expense was six- teen dollars to go to and come from Clearfield. Second, that they were at the District office and saw our President Marks. Marks nem that he (Marks) was overloaded with work. Our local president said that Marks had hun- dreds of letters unopened, that he did, not know how Marks could carry such a load of work, that he should have some more office work- ers: Can’t Do Anything On our question about pushing cars, Marks told him that he could not, do anything right now. So, our local president took his word and didn’t» press the question any fur- ther. “Well, if Marks has so many ungpened letters on his desk, we can see what kind of hard work he | has, and we can remember how we have been sending letters for nine | months without any action being | taken. So, I judge that the only letters Marks and Gilbert are in- | terested in enough to open are those | that contain checks for dues. But, those from miners complaining about grievances are thrown in the | basket. Some time ago, the Mine Com- | mittee, which is all working on company jcbs, made an agreement | Without telling the miners. This Mine Committee and the Local offi- | cials made the following deal with | the company — that the company put four hoists every month in the places which it is hard pushing, | This means that even if they do| put in four every month, it will | take two years to straighten things out. The President says that noth- ing can be done about pushing cars, that the case is with the Regional |Labor Board, and the District and |Mine Committees can not do any- thing. He also tells us not to say anything as the Super knows every- thing that goes on in the local, even the pass-word. There is only one thing for the miners in this local to do, to clean out the officials in our local, as well {as the whole gang of King Lewis’ |machine, and elect rank and file miners into office who will fight for the miners instead of against them. FERA Workers In Gallup, N.M. Win Strike By a Mine Worker Correspondent GALLUP, N. M—The F. E. R. A. | strike which was called the first of the year was ended after seven days strike, having closed down all jobs, some of them being as far as thirty miles from Gallup. The workers | called the strike off after receiving a | twenty per cent increase in their | budget. | The Gallup workers look upon this | as the first victory of the new year. After the strike was called off, they started in to build their organiza- tion still stronger than it has been| in the past. At the same time they | drew up a set of demands to be | Wrung from the F. E. R. A. in Gal- | lup and called upon all the workers in the State of New Mexico to unite | With them in this fight. The Allison Strike is holding out one hundred per cent. The com- |pany tried several times to work | the mine but failed each time to get | any one to work. The miners, under the leadership of the National | Miners Union, have decided that the | only way to win a strike is to stay | out till the company comes accross, Mr. Davy, State Labor Commis- sioner, came in to break the strike | but found out after being here two | days, that the old line of fakers | like him could not get the miners | back to work. Then he left the city, | Stating that everything was O. K. | Textile Strike Parley Comes to a Stalemate WATERBURY, Conn., Jan. 18-- After a three-hour conference be- tween representatives of Local 2035 of the United Textile Workers and of the Johnson Woolen Mills, no agreement could be reached yester- day and the strike continues. The workers came out when the company hired two who were em- ployed as scabs by the Hamilton Woolen Mills at Southbridge, Mass. The workers see in this an attempt to introduce the same strikebreak- ing company union as was the case in Southbridge. Join These Shock Brigaders in the Daily Worker Subscription Contest!

The news shocked all in the world who cherished greatness and the love of |freedom. The Soviet Union was one huge funeral throng, coming in masses to see their dear leader, Comrade Ilyitch, Comrade Lenin. |. “He was a man of little size, but |he was a great man...” “And a heart as large as the world.” “I remember him in 1905. When everyone felt that all was lost, he | revived our hopes.” “How clearly he could see, and how deeply he could feel.” Steamboats mourned their way up and down the rivers. Locomo- tives chugged their breaths of sor- row. All over the large workers’ state people and things halted for a moment to honor the dead com- rade, our Lenin. Children, Young Pioneers, sang the funeral song of |the hero, the song Lenin loved so | much. Everywhere in the world workers mourned the loss of Lenin. “But,” said a worker in New York, “Lenin’s work lives on.” A farmer in Plentywood, Montana, said: “What Lenin began, we will continue.” In Crosby, Minnesota, an iron- | worker said: “We will follow the |red star of Lenin.” | A Negro sharecropper near Scotts- boro, Alabama, said: “Lenin fought |for all the oppressed people of the | world.” | “Yes,” said a Jewish fur worker \in Newark, New Jersey, “did he not |make an attack on the Jew an of- fense against the working class?” In a Georgia turpentine camp, a |Negro worker said: “When Lenin’s work wins through here, there will |be no more lynchings of Negroes.” In an African gold mine, a Kaffir Negro laid down his pick: “I will follow Lenin. I will be a slave |no longer.” A coolie in China flies the red flag, and says, pointing to it,” “That's the flag of Lenin, my flag.” In the soft coal mines of Pennsyl- vania, in the hard coal mines of 4, also to the public press. the Joint Committee of District No. 4 Let us see how he fights the Cap- tive Mine Owners? The Ronco mine of the H. C. Frick Coal and | Coke, which was closed down since early spring, is opening up. The | super, Mr. Calletin, only hires the members of the Frick Brotherhoods. Calletin’s answer to the union men, who re-apply for their jobs is: “Wait until you are called.” Since the miners know that they will not be called back, and in order to take | the question up we held a special 13, Hynes Attends Our local officers asked District President Hynes to be present. He did come, and when asked for ad- vice told us the following, “Elect you a committee of three men, send them to see super Calletin. If they do not receive satisfactory answer, let them go to Scotdale to see Mr, Lynch and Hood” (managers of the Frick Co.). A member raised the question of why should we elect a special com- mittee when we have a mine com- mittee. Hynes’ answer was, “Your ognize because you do not rep- resent the majority here, but by electing a committee, which will appear not as a committee of the U. M. W. of A. but as a committee selected by individuals to take up their grievances, you will be able to talk to Mr. Lynch and Hood.” Is this a talk of a leader, or a fighter? No, its the belly crawling method that has brought the Brotherhood into the Coke Region. | This same Hynes, who can make | fiery speeches against the “enemies within and without” belly crawls to the chief enemy, the H.

Everyone here |is aware of this situation, even | Hynes mentioned this point, but | where the rank and file of the Coke Region miners proposes strike ac- tion, Hynes proposes belly crawling. Describe Conditions Members of the Ronco repeated |The check weighman was com- pelled to weigh the Brother- hood coal Members of the U. M. W. of A. who signed for the check off for the weighmen, were shifted to loading slate, and those who re- mained loading coal had to pay as high as $3 for two weeks to main- tain the check weighmen. Almost unbelievable stories were told about the company methods to force the miners into the company Brother- hoods. To all this Hynes replied, T know, it is very bad, wait, etc.” Hynes, also very conveniently placed the blame for the conditions upon | the miners, because they refuse to join the U. M. W. of A. He for- gets the fact that every miner in the Coke Region was in the U. M. W. of A, but he and Feeney and their master Lewis Okayed Com- pany Unions, drove the miners into the mines, permitted and okayed @ fake election, and instead of a strike to smash the company union, proposed belly crawling arbitration. One member of the Ronco local stated to Hynes: “Neither the com-| pany, nor the Brotherhoods, nor the | miners are to blame, but you, dis- trict. officers, and your chief John L. Lewis for what is happening here.” up that has caused us to suffer in- | juries and broken health. Demand |ventilation and decent drinking water.

Workers strike, picket shops. Workers are |shot down, workers are murdered by police, as workers were murdered by |the Czar’s cossacks. “But as the workers in the Lena gold mines Were avenged,” says the memory of Lenin, “so will these American workers be avenged.” So will the British workers in the mines of Wales win out some day. “And we, too!” cry the weavers of Lancashire. “And the dead will be avenged!” cry the workers of Ireland. “Re- member Jim Connolly. Lenin loved him well. And Jim was killed by the English lords.” In the Soviet Union the workers say: “We must make ourselves even stronger. Look at the wonderful things we have done in the last five years, in our first Five Year Plan. We must do even more in our sec- ond Five-Year Plan. We must be- come stronger than ever. M. Franc, Herr Mark, Lord Pound and Mr. Dollar will have a tough job on their hands if they try to attack us.” The Red Army of workers and peasants stands always ready to de- fend the Soviet Union. The workers will not allow the bosses to come back to the factories, nor will the peasants permit the landlords to seize the lands, They do not want war. The Soviet Government tries in every way to assure peace. But the Soviet people agree with Com- rade Stalin: “We covet not one foot of any- | one’s territory, we yield not one inch of our own.” This is taken from “Our Lenin,” a book for children telling the whole story of Lenin’s life.

Mr. Grube, who arranged for the | meeting, attempted to split the} committee into three separate | groups, his excuse was that he had date the whole committee. The last | to be called was the Uniontown- Beeson - Cool Spring Committee. When they were called, there was mittee member Hasan concerning the arrangements. This led to a} brief argument, in which Mr. Grube told Hasan, “You are not going to run the Emergency Relief.” To which Hasan replied: “And you will not run the Unemployed Councils.” | Mr. Grube called police and had} Hasan arrested for “disorderly con- duct.” Major Hatfield, gave a hearing 4 p. m. the same day, and after hear- ing witnesess from the Relief office, including Grube, the best that could } be proven against Hasan, was that he was a militant member of the Unemployed Councils who refused | to be cowed by the relief staff. Hat- field, a former business man, who is well known for his drunkenness, sentenced ‘Hasan to $50. fine or 90 days in jail. The whole “hearing” was on a basis of kangaroo court. Defense witnessess were not permited to testify. The Unemployed Coun- cils took immediate steps to get a jury trial for Hasan, also protest meetings are being held and resolu- tions are being adopted. The remarkable thing is that the | arrest, and the attempts to terrorize the unemployed came at the same time as the attack made by Billy Hynes against the Unemployed Councils. It don’t seem to be a strange coincidence. On the other hand, the Unemployed Councils are prepared to resist and fight any at- tempt on the part of Emergency Relief, Major Hatfield, or the leaders of District No. 4 U. M. W. of A.

W. of Brooklyn writes: “The pores on my face are greatly enlarged, and I cannot seem to find a remedy for this abnormal condition, I have visited several of the city’s clinics and I have found that the aid I can expect from them is practically negligible. The doc- tors are very uncommunicatiye, and are frequently prone to sarcasm. I have received such hopeful suge gestions as that of using a key to close the “open pores” or of filling in the openings with Portland Ce- ment. On one occasion I managed to receive more than advice. The doctor prescribed a hair tonic, which later became a very useful shoe Polish. It merely served to dry my scalp and multiply the dandruff. I should very much appreciate your informing me of any medical treat- ment applicable for this condition, OUR REPLY Enlarged pores are usually seen in In this condition lotio alba -Tays are given with the in- tention of diminishing the activity of the sebaceous (oil) glands and thus contracting the pores. Where enlarged pores remain even after the acne is cured, treatment is usually of little avail in permanent= ly contracting the pores. We can recommend an astringent which may give some temporary improves ment: Camphor 10.0, tincture of benzoin, 15.0, concentrated agetic acid 60.0, rose water 60.0. Place one teaspoonful of this mixture in a basin of water and apply to face morning and night. The lack of courtesy and the sare casm of the doctors who examined you in several clinics is outrageous, Some doctors, knowng they are be- ing exploited in hospitals, attend clinics merely to see “interesting” cases, and unfortunately your con- dition is not considered interesting. Other doctors, practically reduced to a starvation level themselves and unable to understand the economic set-up which makes their situation so pitiable, vent their rage on the clinic patients, who, they naively believe are the cause of their troubles. HOME WHEN LENIN DIED, he left be- hind him a permanent living mon- | ument—his Party. During his life time, he was intensely interested in clarifying leaders of the Party on the question of women. He spent much time ironing out some of the misconceptions of leading | ing Party members, men and wom- en, throughout the world. He was tireless in seeing that among the | first things the revolution gave, was freedom to women, the right to cul- ture, equality with the men. Is is any wonder that women throughout the Soviet Union sing songs about Lenin? , aes * LITTLE MORE THAN BEASTS, were the women before the Revo- lution. Now thew are technologists, engineers, writers, singers—working side by side with the men in the factories, attending factory schools —all avenues of development and culture open to them. At the Wom- en’s International Congress Against War, in Paris a few months ago, it was obvious that these free Soviet women had a distinction—a beauty, vigor and joyousness that set them apart from the rest of the Con- gress. ‘They symbolized what the Party of Lenin had brought them. Pee ae INTO THE GLUOM of women’s suffering under capitalism, Lenin’s words bring light. In the United States, women in the mine fields, jagged, without food and clothes for themselves and their children, women living in the degradation of flop houses, women enduring the killing speed-up in the shops, hear the words of that Party. Then they are no longer hopeless. There is joy and hope and security in the future. They know just as surely as’to- morrow follows on the heels of to- day—that Lenin’s Party will lead them in the same paths as it has Jed the Soviet women. er ae IN NAZI GERMANY —the women enslaved in the Saar—the women in fascist countries throughout the world, have hope, because Lenin pointed the way they must go. They speak quietly to their neighbors— they put leafiets inside loaves of bread—they meet two and three to- gether—and plan towards that day, when led by the Party of Lenin, they shall do as the Russian women did—and establish other free work- ers’ lands. m Gest « LENIN SPENT HIS ENTIRE LIFE fighting to make the policies of the Bolshevik Party clear—poli- cies which would lead every worker out of slavery into the new life. Now Lenin is dead—and to us he has left a task—to carry on the work of his Party, the Bolshevik Party, the Communist Party. This day, throughout the world, men and women will. meet together and strengthen their determination to build the Communist Party that Lenin and the Bolsheviks forged. This must be our tribute to Lenin. Knowing clearly the joys and the the day for women to link them- selves up with Lenin’s Party. To- day is the day to say: “T need wait no longer. Today I must join the Communist Party— to fight with millions of others throughout the world for the work-. ers’ rule, and women’s complete emancipation!” * .
