Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July 1.-THE
carpenters strike which was called
on May first is still continuing. The
hardship of the men out is bad enough
but they get strike benefits. The hun
dreds of unemployed workers are in
much worse state. Most workers
are not working a full week il they
are employed.
One of the striking carpenters, /.
e. Hall, saved out of his meagre
strike benefits enough to start a sub
scription to the DAILY WORKER,
saying II consider I am spending it
in a good cause" Money is too
scarce, according to Hall, for other
workers to be easily persuaded to
subscribe to even the DAILY WORK

EDITOR SEARLES
Halls PROBE OF
OUTLAW STRIKES
international Chiefs Play
Bosses Game
BY THOMAS MYERscoUeH

An investigation, purporting to as
certain the causes Of unauthorized
strikes in the mining industry, has
been started by the United Mine
Workers of America, according to a
recent announcement by Editor Searles
Of the Miners Journal Judging by
figures given after a similar investiga-
ton in Kansas in 1921, we can expect
some very startling surprises in the
near future. How the investigation
will be conducted has, Of course, not
been announced, but we are of the
opinion that state and operators re-
cords will be used to make it appear
that the miners are the most terrible
people on earth.
In the case of these local or wildcat
strikes as a means of securing their
just rewards from the coal operators,
one will always give such strikers
the benefit of all doubts. Knowing the
psychology Of the average miner, also
the tactics of the coal operator, puts
me in a position to state, that, without
exception, there is some justification
for every strike in such character.
However, the thing that we desire
to point out at this time, is not the
question Of justification for outlaw
strikes, but that many cessations Of
work in the mines are not strikes,
even tho they are labelled as such.
Not Strikes
While we can point to hundreds Of
such strikes, which proved to be the
only means by which the operator
could be forced to recognize his con-
tractural obligations, we want to
emphasize the fact that only a very
small percentage Of those recorded
as such, really are strikes. Besides
the many refusals of the operators
to meet the terms of contract, there
have been occasions when the rail-
roads have failed to deliver cars at
the mines in time for work even with
a liberal waiting period after the re-
gular starting time. There have also
declared gaseous and "dangered of"
by the examiners, that the men have
been credited with participating in
an unauthorized strike.
When 1t is considered that lockouts
are always blamed on the workers,
one can readily see that startling
figures will be given out as the
findings of the U. NJ. w. of A. officials
investigation.
Silence Or Unemployment
Whether or not the committee max
ing the investigation will look into the
causes of the unemployment situation
now existing was not made known,
but the silence in respect to this, is
evidence sufficient to convince the
initiated, that nothing will be done
in this direction. Indeed, the Off
Gals of the miners union have con-
clusiyely proven by their many ac-
tions that they do not intend to ex-
pose the industrial system that has
been kind to make them. The outlaw
strikes disturb the coal operators.
while the unemployment situation
only disturbs the working class, hence
the effort to stamp out the one so
that the other can and will become
more intense.

as a "secret police like those of
Czarist Russia" are still in their
jobs, and the appropriations,
still on a war budget, have not
been reduced.
A Political Spy Agency.
The facts, according to the report,
show that the Bureau of Investiga.
ton has become IAN agency for poll
teal propaganda, lawless in its me-
thods," and resorting to intimidation,
espionage, and provocative acts"
Without showing any results to war
rant the increase, the Bureau spends
four times as much as ten years ago
and employs five times as many per-
sons" the report declares. The chief
activities of the Bureau have been
avowedly directed against radicalism,
but there has been no activity of
radicals since the war which has re-
suited in federal prosecutions, and
there has, therefore, been no legitim-
ate occasion for the large expendi-
lures Of the Bureau of Investigation
along these lines" The Union has
attacked the spy system Of the De.
partment Of Justice by advocating
reduction in its appropriation.
How the System Works.
The chief characteristics OF the
governmental spy system" as listed
in the Unions report are:
"1st. The collection and classified
tIon Of data which has been used
chiefly for propaganda, both by the
Bureau and by so-caIled patriotic
societies and publications engaged
in combating radicaIism. This ma
terial has been made available to
them while withheld from other
inqurers. To those who have any
first hand knowledge of the radical
movement in the United States,
most of the information given out
is obviously distorted, usually mac
curate and deliberately misleading.
"2nd. Indictment of the state and
local officials to bring cases against
radicals under state criminal syndi-
calism and sedition acts solely on
the ground of the expression of
their opinions, the federal author
tiles offering to get the evidence
| and perfect the cases. This has
been done In the absence of any
federal law penaIizing expressions
nf GaeAfka ~ L~k
these new state laws have not yet
been held constitutional by the
Supreme Court. The states have
rarely, If ever, called upon the fed
eral department for aid in such
cases, although the records may
have been doctored to look as II
they had. The inspiration for these
local prosecutions came from agents
of the Bureau and is so admitted
In their reports.
"3rd. An elaborate system of
espionage on radicals thru placing
stool pigeons in the radical politi-
cal and industrial organizations.
Some of them have acted as pro-
vocative agents in stirring up
trouble In order to make cases for
the Bureau. This activity is not
confined to radical movements, but
has reached out extensively into
organized labor"
