By ELLIS SEARLES

Editor United Mine Workers Journal
Washington, d. C.-The Federated
Press is the chief propaganda dis
tributing agency in America of the
communists and bolsheviki of Rus
sia This agency is the medium
through which the great mass of prop
aganda favorable to the red flag of
general destruction in Russia is being
circulated in this country.
My attention has been called to
an article recently issued by the Fed
Grated Press, and unfortunately, pub
lished in a number of labor publica-
tions that have been misled and be-
guiled by that outfit, in which an at
tack of ridicule is made on the series
of articles given out by the United
Mine Workers of America exposing
the destructive activities of commun-
lists in the American labor movement.
The Federated Press falsely alleges
that the articles were the product of
a man who was closely connected
with non-union coal operators, and
that he .peddled them around among
anti-unionists who refused to buy

STATE PROTECTION
FOR ALIENS URGED

New York" with all the educa-
tion in the world you can not make
good Americans out of aliens who
have been disillusioned and embitter-
ed" said State Industrial Commits
sioner Shientag in suggesting the
creation of an advisory council to pro-
tect aliens.
A state legislative committee has
uncovered methods by which aliens
are wronged. They are fleeced by
swindlers and robbed in labor comps,
employment agencies and by steam
ship agents,
'The problem of how to deal with
our immigrants, of how to protect
them against fraud and exploitation.
is as difficult as it is important" said
the commissioner. "Our own citizens.
many of them highly educated, lose
millions of dollars every year as the
result of stock and land swindlers
alone. II is apparent, therefore, that
the immigrant, helpless and ignorant
of our ways and language, is subject
to even greater exploitation"

ey and Blizzard. The belief on the
part of the non-union operators is
that with their conviction the min
ers' union will be driven from West
Virginia, and all of the coal fields of
the state placed on a non-union or
"open shop" basis.
While the indictments against the
district officials were returned more
than two years ago, efforts at convic-
tions in five different trials have been
unsuccessful. The coal operators are
estimated, however, to have spent in
excess of 100000 in seeking con-
victions at these trials, or in gather
ing evidence" through which it is
hoped to eventually bring about con-
victions.
Meantime, officials of the district
have launched general organization
campaign in the non-union regions.
President Keeney has issued an invi-
tation to all non-union miners to be-
come members of the union, and with
an unusual number Of responses so
far. The indictments against the dis
trict officials have been used in the
last two years as means of fore
stalling and preventing officials of the
union from seeking the unionization
of the non-union regions.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY
Urged By Governor Smith,
of New York

Albany, n Y.-Intelligent cooper
alton among employers, workers and
the public can prevent much of the
loss entailed in industrial accidents
which last year caused more than
1900 deaths and 100000 injuries
Governor Smith said in a proclama-
tion designating January 16, 1924, as
Industrial Safety Day"
The suffering and misery due to in
dustrial accidents and disease can not
be estimated, the governor said. Mil
lions of dollars must be paid in COM
pensation to the injured and their
families, with the added cost to the
community of needless handicap son
citizens.
'The state department of labor has
entered upon campaign of education
to endeavor to cut down thetoll of
such accidents" the proclamation con-
tinued.
"The public mind should be focused
upon these conditions in our industrial
system, and upon preventing them. 1t
would, therefore, be well to set aside
a day in the year when all concerned
Herewith throughout the state-em-
ployers, wage earners and their fam
lilies and the public generally-may
turn their thoughts to how best to
make intelligent use of methods for
the prevention of these accidents"
Industrial, civil, educational and
social organizations are requested to
cooperate with the labor department
in fitting observance of the day, call
ing attention to public waste of human
material and concentrating on efforts
to educate the public to the gravity of
the accident menace and devise pre-
ventable methods.

Prosecution in Mine Trial
10 Rely Upon Testimony"
By Penitentiary Inmates

BY International Labor News Service.
Charleston, w. Va.-Officials of
District II, United Mine Workers of
America, will be called to trial for
the fifth time in Fayette county in
January on indictments brought in Lo-
gan county in 1921 as result of the
spontaneous uprising of coal miners
IN the Kanawa valley, with an at
tempted invasion of the non-union
fields. Announcement to this effect
was made here by attorneys for the
coal companies, who are in charge of
the prosecution of the union officials
under these indictments.
The prosecution will declare its
readiness to place Frank Keeney,
president; Fred Mooney, secretary
and treasurer, and William Buzzard.
sub-district president, on trial at the
same time, it is learned. The belief
is, however, that they will demand
separate trials, with the result that
only one of them will go to trial at
the January term of the Fayette
county court.
In attempting the conviction of
these men the prosecution will rely
chiefly on witnesses who are now in
mates of the West Virginia peniten-
tiary at Moundsville. While onne
of the officials of the district have
been convicted under the indictments
returned in Logan county, a number
of minor individuals, who took part
in the actual fighting, have been con-
victed, either by juries or on pleas
of guilty, and sentenced to terms in
the states prison. The policy of the
prosecution is to use these convicted
men as witnesses for the state in
seeking the conviction of the officials
of the district.
When the cases We're called to trial
recently in Greenbriar county,
change of venue to Fayette county
was granted by the court. At that
time the prosecution had nine inmates
of the Moundsville penitentiary on
the ground with the expectation of
using them as witnesses for the state
in the event that the cases went to
trial. The understanding is that if
the officials of District II are CON
victed, each of the present inmates
of the penitentiary who testify
against them will be given their free
DOM
Every resource of the non-union
coal operators in Logan county and
other sections of West Virginia is be-
ing used in behalf of the prosecution
in an effort to convict Keeney, Moon

Both of these countries were ad-
mitted to the League of Nations dur
ing the fourth assembly, and auto
matically became members of the in
ternational labor organization, in ac-
cordance with the tretay of Versailles.
This is one of the peculiar annals
of the treaty, in that members of the
League of Nations must be members
of the international labor organiza-
ton, but members of the labor organi-
zation are not necessarily members of
the league. The international labor
organization has larger member

cover up the devilishness of the Her
rim affair by first ignoring it and next
by poking ridicule at the expose.
Communists and their defender, the
Federated Press, have lot to answer
for to the trade union movement and
the American public If communist
activities did not cause the Herrin
massacre let them produce their proof
to the contrary.
If the Federated Press is not the
propaganda agency of the Russian
communists and bolsheviki let it pro-
duce its proof to the contrary

their skirts of these things they will
be in better position to ask the people
to believe the stuff they send out.

by action affecting labor recently
taken by China and Brazil.
Great progress has been made in
Japan and India and in China, fac

conference in 1919, are now in force.
The standards set by the regulatinos,
while considerably below those for
many other nations, mark big step
The standards set by the regulations,
include provisions limiting the work
day to ten hours for adult workers
and to eight hours for workers under

boys under 20 and girls under IL is
prohibited.
Brazil Appoints Labor Council
Brazil has taken a forward step
by the appointment of a national Ia
Dor council, which held it's formal
opening recently The council consists
of twelve members nominated by the
president of the republic, viz, two
workers and two employers repre-
sentatives, two officials of the min
istry of agriculture, industry and
commerce, and six specialists in labor
questions. The questions to be dealt
with by the council will include agree
ments, conciliation and arbitration,
protection of women and young per-
sons, apprenticeship and technical ed
ucation, industrial accidents, social
insurance, pensions and agricultural

At the opening of the council the

''In general it may be said that in
