PROCRESSIvES
IN PITTSBURGH
FORM COUNCIh
To Defend Victims Of
Coal Operators

lSpeclai TO the Oaiiy WorkeFl
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec, 26--Pro-
gressive miners held conference here
last Sunday and decided to wage q
determined campaign for the release
Of the thirty eight victimized miners
imprisoned at the Moundsville West
Va, penitentiary for participating in
the mine trouble at Cliftonville on
July II, 1922.
The trouble started when the ope-
rators decided to run the mine nom
union. The miners Of the Avella
section gathered and marched to
Cliftonville in an effort to convince
the strike breakers to join their ranks.
AS they neared the mine shot was
fired and both miners and mine guards
began firing.
Operators Tool Killed.
Sheriff Duval, tool of the operators
was killed In the melee. Over 200 men
were arrested and 43 of them were
held BY the state for prosecution. The
miners were tried before a prejudiced
court and picked jury and sentenced
to terms ranging from three to ten
years.
Counsel for the defense, advised
them to accept trial in a body and
plead guilty.
The wife Of one of the prisoners
attended the defense conference and
charged the district officers Of the
union with betraying the miners Of
Cliftonville.
Organize Committee.
The conference organized the Miners
Moundsville Defense Committee with a
committee Of seven men to direct the
defense. William A. Cutler and Pat
Toohey were elected chairman and
ecretary-treasurer respectively. Every
local in the district will be visited.
Resolutions and petitions are to be
Immediately spread thru the district.
Locals will be asked to circulate the
petitions, adopt the resolutions and
contribute money for the defense.
Every miner of the Pittsburgh district
is urged to communicate with Comrade
Toohey and receive petitions and
resolutions. One of the prisoners is a
Hungarian who cannot talk or read
English. Hungarian workers should
take note of this.

Brazil REVOLT,
DAWES PLAN And
U. S. JOBLESS
May Sound Mixed But
They're All One

SAC PAULo, Brazil (by Mail)--
There is more than an interesting
story in the incidental consequences
of the Sac Paulo rebellion, when the
rebels reiterated into the states Of Pa
rama and Matte Crosse.
Desiring to cross the Parana river
where the Sorocobana railway bridge
had been blown up, their forces were
confronted with no large boats to cross
the river and follow down 1t TO the
Paraguayan border. So the rebels
lngeniously cut the whole upper part
off Of passenger coaches and converted
them into barges by turning them
upside down, sealing the ventilators
and other opening and sailing away
Town the river.
The "BIessIng" Of General Dawes.
But here is where international
complications appear. And an ominous
signal of what these supposed FAR
away" countries and their struggles
mean to workers in America and Eu-
rope. The rebels seized or destroyed
SO much rolling stock Of the Sorocoba-
ma railway that many new locomotives
had to be ordered.
Here enters the little arrangement
known as the Dawes plan. German
locomotive builders secured the big
share of the orders over both British
and American bidders. The American
locomotive works got orders for nine
locomotives Of special type and the
Baldwin works got an order for
twenty, but the German manufacturers
in bid OF $4,000 an engine as against
an American bid for $4,000 an engine
and received an order for fifty loco
motives.
Lessons In InternatlonaIlsm.
This leaves the underpaid, 10-hour
day German workers in none to good a
condition to be sure. but it also puts
the metal workers of the United States
out of Job in spite of immigration acts
and tariff laws-barring, of course,
that the prayer of the metal trades
department at FL Paso for more and
bigger battleships is not arranged to
relieve the unemployed in slight
measure.

Hammond, Ind, South
Slavic Branch Is for the
Minority Unanimously

The thesis Of the minority Of the
c. E. c. was unanimously Endorsed by
the South Slavic branch of Hammond
Ind, after a thorough discussion.
The resolution, favoring the minority
position, passed by a vote Of II to 0
The resolution declared: THE South
Slavic branch of Hammond indorses
the tactic of the use of the class
farmer-labor party slogan as correct
united front maneuver on the politi-
cal field to build a mass Communist
Party. We believe the effort Of the
Foster-Lore-Cannon combination OF
the c. E. c. to abandon the class
farmer-labor party slogan is detri-
mental to the Workers Party

KILLING OF 81
Due TO NEGLECT
OF SALT FIRM
Dam Bursts from Waste
Not Disposed Of

SALTVILLE, Va, Dec. 26.-Thirty
four persons are know to have been
killed, half hundred we're injured,
and two hundred are homless following
the breaking of a muck" dam in the
salt and alkali works of the Mathie-
son mill settlement. The accident was
caused by the accumulation of refuse
and waste lime, which the management
of the salt works had not properly
disposed of. This lime muck was
allowed to press against the dam
until on Christmas eve the dam burst
inundating the valley below.
The avalanche that swept down
from the broken dam of the Mathie-
son AlkaIi Works consisted mostly of
lime refuse. 1t was solid enough to
sweep ahead Of it houses, fences, barns
and vehicles. The entire valley is
covered with the half frozen slush,
being from few feet to ten feet deep.
The company had made no provision
to take care Of the lime waste, which
had been accumulating for years. 1t
was made soggier and heavier by
recent rains, but still was allowed to
pile up against the dam.
Many OF the survivors have contrac-
ted pneumonia, and the death list is
steady growing. Those in hospitals
are suffering from severe irritations
Of the eye, nose and throat due to
contact with the alkaline muck water,
but this is no novelty to the workers
in the mill.
