To the plea of the committee,

For five solid hours, the longest ses-

grievances were argued, but reports
indicate that the general tone Of the
officials was just the same as that OF
the greedy coal operators, "abide by
the agreement" ''let the officers
handle your grievances" etc, etc.
But the pleas were falling into ears
Of men that knew only too well, the
length of time that these grievances
have already reposed in the care of
the district officials. At the mention
of the word Cancellation board" Dele

for our grievances, and we want you
to know that these grievances are
very much alive, therefore, we do not
intend to bury them"
Every mention Of illegal strike"
and violation of agreement" brought
forth a chorus of TELL the operators

NEW YORK CITY. Dec. o.
Pledges Of many hundreds of
dollars to insure the DAILY
WORKER for 1925 are rolling
in from each of the main New
York branches of the Workers
Party.
What is more significant,
these pledges are being i'm
mediately followed up by sub
stantial donations of hard cash
enough to not only insure the
DAILY WORKER for 1925 but
to make it grow.
Comrade L. Weiman, a working
woman, paid in the first cash dona-
ton to the New York DAILY WORK
Err agency. Comrade Weiman, altho
money comes hard to her, set a good
example to the rest of the DAILY
WORKER readers by taking out two
ten dollar policies.
The downtown English branch has
pledged s175.O0. At the last branch
meeting personal pledges of the forty
members present totaled $273.OO.
This is an everage of almost seven
dollars per member.
Fifty-nine dollars in cash has al
ready come in from the Harlem
English branch which pledged s425.O0.
The Bronx English branch No. / has
brought in $4,000 as the proceeds of
the sale Of its first eight policies.
New York is expected to go over
the top with fund of over ten thou
sand dollars to insure the DAILY
WORKER for 1925.

BERLIN, Dec. o.-The cap
itaIist press which gIoated over
the losses of the Communists IN
the Reichstag were strangely
silent over the big gains made
by that party in the elections to
the Prussian diet.
Provisional figures show that
the Communists won a seats
as against 20 in the last cleo
tiOns while the socialists lost
twenty.
The elections to the various state
parliaments in Germany are very inn
portant. The Prussian diet wields
tremendous power. It was the Prus-
sian minister Of the interior, Severing,
who authorized the raid on the head
quarters of the Soviet trade delega-
tion last year. It is significant that
the Communist vote should go up in
the most highly industrialized part of

The report of the committee showed
that in three years the stupendous

of this went to crooked labor takers,

An element of unconscious humor
was introduced in the report with the
admission that 'since its existence on

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Dec. 9.-The
strike of the trainmen of the Illinois
Traction System, which has stopped
electric passenger and freight service
thruout central Illinois, entered its
third day.
All the 2S5 strikers remained away
from their posts, according TO re-
ports, and no attempt was made to
move trains.
The trainmen assert that their real
reason for striking was the refusal
of the company to grant time and
one-half for overtime work and a
closed shop.
The role Of the peacemaker in the
strike of Illinois Traction System
trainmen, which has tied up service
on 400 miles of electric railroad. was
assumed today by the Springfield
chamber Of commerce, after confer
ences with strike leaders and com
pany officials.
A committe of leading Springfield
business men was appointed to act
as a point Of contact between the
strikers and the company, who have
had no negotiations since the train

The English section Of the cap

reception Of Samuel Gompers
by President Gales of Mexico at
the presidential palace.
Addressing the chief magis-
trate in English" says the "Ex-
celsior", "Gompers' speech was
translated into Spanish" But
the Excelsior" quotes from the
English speech as it fell, like
priceless pearls, from the lips
of Gompers himself. Sammy
spoke as follows:
"comrade compersv creets "con-

"Comrade Gales, not only to mani
fest our respect for the president of
Mexico, have we come here, but also
we realize the importance of the last
few days We have come to express
our absolute certainty that American
workers are unchangeably loyal,
friendly and fraternal towards the
president of Mexico and towards the
Mexican workers"
Sammy conveniently forgot at this
moment that he has aided and abetted
in the vicious campaign in the United
States against immigrants from
Mexico.

his speech Of reply by saying, Com
