STILL FIGHTING
AGAINST POLITICS
Again Stress No Alliance

Sweeping amendments to the consti-

the early sessions Of the convention
now meeting at Emmett Memorial
Hall, have not been forthcoming. The
l. w. w. convention here reject
ed all plans to establish a clearing
house system to replace the present
form of general administration, and
has ruled that dues remain at so cents
instead of the proposed raise Of dues
to one dollar month.
Discovery Long In Coming.
After several plans involving gem
eral clearing house we're discussed at
great length, Delegate Speed declar-
ed, "There is not a damn one Of us
here that knows anything about a
clearing house." The convention then
tabled all plans so far presented for
the clearing house method of organ
ization, the only dissenting votes be-
ing those of Leonard and Swanson,
$40 delegates.
Delegate Henrickson of the con-
struction workers, spoke in favor Of
an article in the constitution prohibit
ing any person from representing the
l. w. W. without credentials. Hend-
rickson said he had heard II. W. w.
members shout 'Hurrah for the Work

should be stopped.

Australia Feels 1t
Is Not Bound by the
Treaty with Russia

MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 12-
Australian interests are in no way
affected by the treaty signed between
the governments of Britain and Soviet
Russia. This announcement was made
in the Australian federal parliament
by the prime miniser, Mr.. Bruce, who
said:
"The subject matter of the treaty
is confined practically and entirely ia
questions at issue between Britain and
Russia, and the interests Of Austral-
ian nationals are not affected by the
arrangements that have at present
been entered into
I'm view of this fact the Australian
federal government, while having been
informed thruout the negotiations Of
the treaty of the steps that were being
taken, has felt that this is a question
for the determination of the govern
ment of Britain, as only that govern
ment is concerned with the questions
at ISSUE"

Nikola Pashitch and Marke Trinko-

Alexander to run the government.
The influence Of the peasant leader
Stephan Raditch, is increasing, and
the conservative element is fearful
Of great gains Of the radicals in the
coming elections. Raditch, Croat-

with the king because of differences
over relations with Russia. Raditch
favors friendly relations with the Sow

Chicherin has offered Jugo-Slavia

BAD CONDITIONS
OF ANTHRACITE
COAL DIGGERS
ReactiOnGry Leaders in
League with Bosses
BY A. RIMBA.

The anthracite miners are
we'll organized into the United
Mine Workers of America.
There are three districts, I, 7
and 9, having a membership OF
approximately 10000.
This rather large group Of
organized workers is composed
mostly of foreigners. Their or
ganization is controlled abso-
lutely by labor takers and trait
Ors.
Recently 1 had the opportunity Of
speaking at ten or eleven mass meet
ings in District No. 9. / spoke with
many miners as to their conditions
In the mines and also in the union. l
found that In those places where there
are Communists who can speak Eng
lish and who are interested in the or
ganization, the situation is not so ap-
palling.
The miners are very receptive to
the progressive thought and action
and If there are one or two active com
rades, they are always ready to fol-
low their leadership and fight not only
the coal barons, but also their mis-
leaders and labor takers.
Hold No Meetings.
But in many places where there are
no Communists and the locals are con-
trolled by the followers of the reac-
tionary machine, the situation is alb
solutely unbearable. The locals hold
no meetings. The dues are being col
lected in the mines by the officers of
the locals And these officers have a
very close understanding with the
bosses and always work in the best
places and make good wages. The
members have to buy their jobs from
their bosses either paying directly
in cash or treating them with moon
shine" In other places the bosses
are united with the saloon keepers and
bootleggers. So, if you want to get a
job, you have to get it thru the saloon
keepers. And after you do get it, you
must be good to the saloon keepers
and the bosses. That means, you must
spend your wages with them.
Just As Crooked.
Such bribery and corruption is toll
Grated by the local unions. Higher
officials are also not interested in
what is going on in the local unions
because they themselves are in ALI
ance with the coal barons.
It is up to the progressive and class
conscious miners to remedy this stu
alton. 1t is a mighty hard job, of
course, but it must be done. The enc
mics Of progress and revolution are
very numerous and powerful. They
are composed of the mine owners and
the union leaders who are contented
with things as they are. They do not
want q change for the better because
that would mean losing their we'll
paid jobs.
The Workers Party Of America
must pay more attention to the min
ess. There is a very fertile field for
Communist work. There is possib
Hity Of organizing party branches II

speak English well and would be more
than glad to help the party organiEa-
ton to exploit the English field for
Communist activities.
Afraid Of Communists.
The union misleaders are very much
afraid of Communists. They are sim
ply trembling as before the approach
ing lava Of an active volcano. You
can almost feel that fear on their
part, if you happen to hear them talk
or attend a meeting where they are
present had the opportunity Of be-
ing present at one of the sessions of
the convention Of District No. 8. That
was on October 2S, in Shenandoah,
Pa. Oct. 29 was holiday for the
miners. They were celebrating the
death of their former president, John
Mitchell. On that day the convention
had only one session, before noon. It
was devoted entirely to speeches. And
Mr.. Golden, the president of District
No. was to make q speech euologiz-
ing the dead president.
Mr.. Golden spoke. He started with
great praise for John Mitchell, telling
the delegates how good, honest, sin
cere, holy and ETC., was John Mitchell.
He spoke no longer than few min
utes about John Mitchell and then
dropped his subject and started to at
tack the Communists. It seemed so
out Of place to mix up a dead man
with living and active Communists,
but Mr.. Golden went on with his IT,
rade. He told his audience that Com
rade Myerscough is in Minersville,
Pottsville, Mahoneys City and Shenan-
doah hunting and trying to organize
Communist branches. OF course,
Comrade Myerscough is sent here by
Moscow" and the miners should have
nothing to do with him.
Threatened The Miners.
Mr.. Golden warned the delegates
not to admit Communists into their
local union under the pain Of severe
punishment, if they disregard his
holy" instructions. The poor mem
bers of the United Mine Workers of
America must again obligate them
selves to Mr.. Golden and promise not
to do anything that would in any way
injure his fat salary or nice and warm
place. Especially now when the con-
vention is about ready to vote to
raise the salaries of their officials by
10 per cent. (At the next session
the salaries were raised.)
Mr.. Golden spoke ten times longer
about the Communists and Comrade
Myerscough than about his saint
Mitchell, tho it was understood by ev-
cry one that his speech will be devot-
ed entirely to the dead man. At the
end of his TRADE against the Com
munists, Mr.. Golden remembered his
subject and abruptly finished as fol-
lows:
May Be In Hell7
God gave us John Mitchell, some
mother had borne him and l hope that
he is in heaven!" You see, the Com
munists mixed up poor Mr.. Golden's
head and, therefore. he forgot where
John Mitchell now really is. He was
not sure that he is in heaven. He
only hopes that he is there. There
was no Billy Sunday to explain to
Golden the real location Of his dead
leader.
Listening to Golden's speech l really
felt sorry for him. He is so afraid
that the Communists will come along
and arouse the miners against their
fake leaders.

HAaERSTOWN, Nd. July lS.
New evidence, considered by the

bearing upon the case. has been
llnearthed, and new theories are
being evolved by States Attorney

Richard Duffey IN their inyestiga-
ton OF the shooting Of John ii.
Sigafoose and the woufiding of
Frank Burger by Mrs. Cora Rick
etts Wilkinson near BaIps station.
several miles below this CITY. last
Sunday night.
The officers have learned since
the INQUEST Tuesday night. at which
MIS-. Wilkinson was held for killing
SigaLoose. two muffled shots were
neard by Q neighbor living close to
the home Of Henry circuit, where
the shooting Is said to have Oc-
CURED, tending to the belief that
the shooting may have occurred In
the house and not outside, as has
been stated by several witnesses.
They also learned that an auto
mobile was seen going up the road
In the direction Of the circuit house
about 10 o'clock that night. This
has not been mentioned by any Of
the witnesses. There is d theory
also that the shooting may have
occurred at some other place and
Sigafoose's body hauled to fhe
circuit house In the automobile.
States Attorney Roulette and
Sheriff Duffey visited the circuit
home yesterday to make a thorough
investigation. They found the
house deserted and no trace Of the
family. The authorities are not
satisfied with the stories told by
the witnesses Of the shooting, as
glaring discrepancies were noted.
The case. which seemed simple at
first, is becoming more involved,
and the officers believe that persons
whose names have not been men,
toned may have had, q prominent
part in It.
