High Living Cost is
Alarming Brazilian
Government Officials

SAU PAULo, Brazil, Nov. 1S.-The
rapid increase in the cost of living
has become alarming to Brazil off,
cialdom. The cost of domestic food
has scared, causing an increase in the
revolutionary sentiments of the work
ers. ofacials, uneasy at the clouds OF
rebellion gathering. are trying to at
tribute the startling living conditions
to the taxation on business and com.
merce. The masses are not satisfied
with this explanation, however, and

typical of the tragedies exper-
fenced every day by working
men and women.
Victims Of cIIftonvllIe Battle.
For behind the walls of the Mounds
will prison lie the miners who were
victims Of the Cliftonville battles dur
ing the strike of 1922.
To unravel the story Of the impris-
onment of these mine workers is to
reveal an instance of brutal suppress
sion Of strikers in a fight in which
every tool Of the capitalist system
troops, thugs, press, religion-came to
the aid of the bosses.
While the fight Of the miners was
at its bitterest, skirmish took place
in which H. Duval, sheriff, was shot.
Attic more than fifty men were ar
rested. the real culprit could not be
found. Nevertheless, thirty men we're
sentenced to the penitentiary for a
term of three years, five for ten years,
one for eight years, five for five years,
one for seven, and another for four.
Thus 4S men went to jail as murder
suspects, altho more than that they
took an enthusiastic part in the strike
could not be proved.
Use Trickery to Get Conviction.
A comrade who has visited the fami-
lies of most of these men has written
to the DAILY WORKER the story of
the trickery used by the bosses to get
confessions" from these miners,
which at the same time presents a
clear picture of the role Of the church
as an ally of capitalism. $50.
There is one man, Eugene Pecsf,"
writes our correspondent, "who is the
pastor of a protestant church and is
claiming for himself share of the
credit for sending these miners to
prison. He visited some of the ac-
cused men, and, using frequent quo
tations from the Bible, promised to

COOP MOVEMENT SHOWS
STRENGTH IN HOUSING,
SAYS LEAGUE PRESIDENT
BY ART SHIELDS.

Federated Press star Correspondents
NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.--"The
most encouraging outlook for the
cooperative movement In the COM
Ing year Is In the field Of co-opera-
tive housing" James P. Warbasse,
president, Cooperative League, tells
the Federated Press.
1.-THE cooperative movement ls
holding It's own In the retail trade
and showing remarkable vlsor In
dairylng, banking and other fields
that vitality affect the people. But
this newest development Of the
movement, into housing, is, meeting

use his influence for the arrested min.
ers. demanding at the same time two
to three hundred dollars for this
service. =
after obtaining various sums of
money from the miners families, the
reverend swindler went to the miners,
told them that things would go hard
with them in court If they attempted
to deny their part in the shooting
and obtained from them confessions
of crimes that had never been COM
mitted. AS soon as the miners had
confessed and been thrown into jail
no further word was received from
the Reverend Pecsi"
These are the men who have been
driven to threaten mutiny against the
conditions which their masters in Jail
have imposed on them.

Arm KIansmen In Secret.

Arm Klansmen In Secret.
This investigation has shown the
Khan ready to arm their members in
secret 1t has also disclosed the fact
that they maintain a widespread Sc
cret police force and spy system and
that these spies are under the xii
Craps. special department Of the
khan, and that this British agent has
been very active in its organization,
his activity in the secret service OF
the British government giving his adj
vice great weight in the secret coun-
ellis of the Khan.
The investigation has also shown
that they have a force Of agitators who
go about the country arousing reli-
gious hatred and bigotry and appeal
ing to the whites against the blacks
and if this is not enough they are
ready, if they hare not already, to
join hands with the capitalists If nee
essary to further their ends.
It has also shown how easy it is to
get the gullible workers to put up
their hard-earned cash to go out and
arrest other workers if some sharper
will come along and arouse their hat
red and bigotry and national animosi-
ties and sell them guns. 1t has also
shown a Fascist of the most virulen
type in formation in this country, and
the capitalists not only of this coun-
try, but other countries as well, back
Of its formation and organization. Il
has also shown that widespread Sc
cret service organization is at the
beck and call Of the big interests of
the country, and that It is function
ing at this moment in every state in
the union and is fast becoming a men,
ace TO the organized workers Of the
country, and that these secret agents
are under the kligraaps Of the Ku
Klux Khan.
