nF ALL our presidents to date
- Lincoln has been the one most
entangled in a maze of mythical tradi-
tons.
At this moment when a strike
breaker is at the head Of the govern
ment and when the country is in the
midst Of the unfolding Of the worst
tale of plumber in its odious annals
of the footing of its wealth by the
capitalists, it was not our task to un-
ravel these mythical mysteries. A
few words about Lincoln's relation
ship with the working class in the
struggle to abolish chattel slavery in
the United States will be appropriate.
All ideals, social attitudes, politi-
cal and economic rights, take root in
the material conditions at hand and
transmitted. In these material con-
ditions the economic conditions are
the dynamic force, the changing in
fuence. Lincoln spoke and reflected
the ideals Of the lower middle class
who with the farmers made up the
decisive majority Of the population
Of the United States in 1860. It was
in this role that Lincoln was 1T tho
helm in the fight against cotton cul-
ture.
The weakness and the wavering Of
this social class, in so far as they
manifested themselves in Lincoln,
counteracted by the strengthening
influences of the working class and
the enslaved class Of Negroes. In
the story Of the Civil War the part
played by these factors cannot be
over-estimated. We recall how
Frederick Douglass, the Negro ad-
visor TO Lincoln, sized up the early
phases against chattel slavery in
these words: II reproached the North
that they fought with one hand, while
they might strike more effectively
with two; that they fought with the

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-An organ
ization called the United Council of
Working Class Women, with the OBJ
ject of protecting the interests of

Gently. Forty-six working mems and
working women's organizations are

The first problem to which the
new organization devoted itself is
that of housing. The rents in New
York and other cities are exorbitant
and tenants have no protection
against gouging landlords except
thru their organizations.

Gitlow, ecretary-treasurer from the

Lincoln called the conduct and fine

MINERS WAGE
SCALE FARLEY
OPENS IN FLA.
Lewis Wants Easy Sail
ing for Four Years

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. IL
The wage scale parley between the
coal operators of the central COM
petitive field, comprising Ohio, I'LL
nois, eastern Pennsylvania and In
diana and the representatives of the
United Mine Workers of America
opened this morning at 10 a. m.
The present agreement expires on
March 81 of this year. Unless an
agreement is reached that is salts
factory to the members of the union
a shut down may take place on
April 1.
Nine Delegates from the Pitts
burgh Coal Producers Association
are here. This group broke away
from the Cleveland agreement which
was signed in 1922.
The conference is expected to last
for two weeks. The Lewis admin
istration is understood to be sat
isfed with the present wage scale
but insists on four year contract.
The scale now in The bituminous
mines is 81 cents a ton for machine
mining and $7.25 to $3.50 for day
labor.
The mines in the four states pro-
duce SO per cent Of the 500,000,000
annual tonnage of bituminous coal.
That the coal operators are glee-
full over the manner in which John
L. Lewis held his power at the
indianapolis convention by riding
rough shod over the rights of the
progressives is demonstrated in the
current issue of Coal Age, consid-
cred the most representative and au-
thoritative magazine of the coal in
dustry from the operators stand
point.
1t states that Mr.. Lewis and his
supporters are taking the right
stand. 1t pleads with the coal OPP
orators not to attempt reduction
in wages, fearing that the govern
ment might step in and take over
the coal industry. 'Let US keep the
hands Of Congress Off the industry
by going quietly about our bust
ness, lest the public try to make it
theirs" an editorial in the Coal Age
says.
The Coal Age also gives Secretary
Of Labor Davis anti-alien speech in
full and tells of the handshaking
incident when Davis called Lewis

Mine Workers ever had"

England to have "undisputed free
trade" Famine fever, as Marx
called the hunger typhus, starvation,
wage cuts, jails, and poor houses were
the lot of the English workingmen
who did so much to make possible
Lincoln's victory over chattel
slavery. The suffering Of the Eng
lish workingmen was so deplorable
that committees were formed in New
York "for the purpose of collecting
money for the starving weavers in
the North Of England and thus allevi-
ating their misery"
This far-sightedness of Lincoln in
approaching the decisive Importance
of the working class in the struggle
was crystallized in his address to the
New York Republican Workingmen's
Association in which he said: "None
are so deeply interested to resist the
present rebellion as the working peo-
pie. Let them beware of prejudice,
working division and hostility among
themselves. The most notable feat
ure Of disturbance in your city last
summer was the hanging Of some
working people. II should never be
so. The strongest bond Of human
sympathy outside Of the family reIa-
ton, should be the one uniting all
working people Of all nations. and
tongues and kindreds."
The splendid international soli-
darity and sacrifices Of the English
working class in the Civil War and
these memorable words Of Lincoln
take on redoubled significance for the
American workers today. These
heroic deeds and true words should
remind our working men Of their
great need for solidarity at home
against their common capitalist
enemy and for international unity
with the workers Of the other coun-
tries in tho fight against world i'm
perialism and fascist reaction.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Unem.
ployed Workers Committee, repre-.
senting the 100000 jobless wage
earners in England, and the Council
of the Trade Union Congress is initi-
ating a great national campaign fol
relief of the critical unemployment
situation.
''The Unemployed Workers Charter"
consisting of the minimum demands
of the unemployed and the Trades
Union Congress, will be made the
issue in the national drive and the
campaign intended to have these de-
mands embodied in legislation that
will become part of the British legal
code. The demands are:
First-Work or effective MAIN
tenance for all unemployed and in
creased Government assistance, to
be provided thru the trade unions,
al relief being completely dissOci-
ated from the poor law administra-
ton.
Second-Immediate development
of Government schemes for en-
ployment to absorb the unemployed
in their own trades at trade union
wages.
Third Establishment Of State
workshops to supply the necessary
service or commodities to meet the
requirements Of the governmental
departments.
Fourth-Reducti0n in the hours
Of labor sufficiently to absorb the
unemployed workers, the normal
working day or week to be regul-
ated by the requirements of indus
try.
Observation-Disclosures of occupa-
tional training centers for unem-
ployed workers, with effective
maintenance.
Sixth-Provision for suitable
housing accommodation at rents
within the means of the wage
earners.
These demands originating with
the Communist elements in the
British labor movement and given
much publicity thru the unemployed
committees have heretofore been re-
garued as impossible of realization
but their endorsement by the Trade
Union Congress and the launching of
me national campaign for their init
ation brings them into the field of
practical political questions.

ampaign as an indication of the in

QUAKER PRISON

LIBERTY FIGHT
Gas Explosions Precede
Freedom Dash
Especial to The DAILY wOrk.rl

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 1.-Two
prison officials were killed today when
100 convicts at the Western Peni-
tertiary made a dash for liberty fol-
lowing two gas explosions in the
lower end of the institution.
The dead are: John A. Pieper, as
sitant deputy warden Of Beechview,
and John T. Coax, yard sergeant Of
North side, Pittsburgh.
Rioting broke out in the Western
Penitentiary today and all available
police and detectives and deputy
sheriffs were rushed to the prison.
Crowds gathered outside the peni-
tertiary walls and saw windows be-
ing broken by stones hurled by rebel
lious prisoners. Hoarse cries and
yells mingled with intermittent fir
ing.
The last outbreak at the peniten-
tiary occurred about three years ago
when several Of the rioters were kill
led and many wounded. About five
hundred prisoners are lodged in the
penitentiary at the present time.
First reports said two Of the pris-
oners were shot and killed.
About 100 of the prisoners were
running loose in the penitentiary
yard. attacking the guards and police
men with clubs, picks and stones.
The battle had reached a terrific
stage at 1890 a. m. and all police
were called from their beats and
rushed to the prison in taxicabs.
A call was sent to the central police
station for more guns and ammuni-
tion and these were sent in a patrol
wagon.
Like the riot of three years ago,
the fighting today broke out follow
ing outbreak Of fire in the main pris-
on building. The convicts, many of
whom were reported armed, dashed
into the yard, fighting madly in an
effort to escape.
Superintendent Of police John
Brophy led a second squad to the
prison, armed with tear gas bombs.
The fire department was called out
and streams Of water were played
on the rioters.
Leaking gas mains caused the ex-
plosions, and officials of the prison
said there was no evidence that any
Of the convicts was responsible or that
the explosions were part of a plan
Of the prisoners to escape.
