Leaders In Fray.
FINS G. Garrett, of Tennessee,
Democratic leader of the House:
Crisp, of Georgia; Oldfield, Of
Arkansas; Rayburn and Connally. Of
Texas, and the Tammany group,
will be in the thick Of the fray.
Garrett and the others, except
the Tammanyites, have remained
here since the close Of Congress.
Garrett said today he would leave
next week for NeY York City and
would make his headquarters at the
Prince George Hotel.
Senator Pat Harrison Of MissiS-
sippi is to be the convention key
noter. His speech has been com
pleted. Senator Carter Glass has
drafted tentative platform, which
has been approved by the Demo
Gratis of Virginia for presentation
to the resolutions committee at
New York.
Probes to Play Part.
So many Democratic Senators and
Congressman are scheduled for par
ticipation in the convention that the
roll call will have the familiar ring
Of Senate and House.
The stage is set, also, for a dis
cussion of the platform which will
recall wildly the stirring scenes at
Investigations of Governmental Off
Gals, 4alI of which were pushed by
Democrats.

BENEFIT CONCERT
FOR COMPOSER BY
SINGING SOCIETY
Wrote International"
Now In Poverty
tspselaI to The paIIy workerl

NEW YORK, N. Y, August 27.-
Peter Deygeter, composer of the
music for 1.-THE International" like
many others who have contributed
their best to the music, art, or liter
ature of the working class, is in need
of assistance.
Almost forgotten by many who for
merly knew him and unknown to the
bulk of the modern Labor Movement,
author of Labor's most inspiring hymn
has suffered in silence.
Altho 1.-THE International is sung
and played thruout the world, and al
tho class conscious workers Of every
race and color are familiar with its
tune and words. very few are aware
that the 70 year old creator of that
masterpiece is stricken with poverty
in the last days of his life
Attention was drawn to the plight
of Comrade Deygeter, thru his request
to be allowed to sell some small article
at the last Convention of the Com
munist Party of France.
The G. Adolph Uthmann Singing So
ciety, in recognition of the debt that
the International Labor Movement
owes to Comrade Deygeter, has de-
cided to arrange Concert and Ball,
the entire proceeds of which will be
devoted to the relief of our Comrade
Deygeter.
This affair will take place Saturday,
September 9th, beginning at D. m,
at Maennerchor Hall, 2O3 East seth
ST., New York City, The Federated
Hungarian Workers Singing Society
will assist.
All organizations that are in SYM
pathy with the principles of Interna-
tional Workingclass Solidarity, and
are willing to cooperate with us in
making this affair great from both a
moral and financial standpoint, are re-
quested to get in touch with the G..
Adolph Uthmann Singing Society,
Room 4, $50 East s1st st, telephone
Lenox 687S.
All who have heard the opening
words of the International: arise
you prisoners of starvation, Arise you
wretched of the EARTH" should realize
that the composer of that tune is now
a prisoner of starvation, and help us
make his remaining days free from
the wretchedness that is the lot of
most Of those who contribute their
talent and ability to their class rather
than sell it to the enemies of labor.

MINERS OF WORLD
HOLD CONCL AVE IN
CHECKO-SLOVAKIA
British Want the Russian
Unions Included
tspeeIaI to The DaIIy W0rksrl


PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia. - Repre-
senting Is coal producing countries
and a union membership Of 1,972,150
miners, 122 delegates assembled here
for the 9th Miners International
congress. The International Miners
Federation have held these meetings
since 1890, interrupted only by the
war.
United States Represented
The United Mine Workers of Amer
lea were represented by international
vice-pres. Philip Murray; Thomas Ken
nedy, president of Dist. Z; and Walter
Nesbit, secretary of Dist IL. The
president of the International FEEDER
alton is Herbert Smith, president Of
the British Miners Federation.
The absence of Russian delegates
caused storm in committee. The
British delegates denounced their ex-
clusion and demanded that the Rvs
SLAMS be invited to all international
trade union meetings.
The American delegates contributed
nothing to the discussion Of interna-
tional problems except in technical
question of accident prevention.
Philip Murray told Of Americas high
accident rate.
Watch Dawes Plan
Thomas Kennedy told Of the Amer
lean miners conception of a Saving
wage" and described the success in
resisting the reduction Of wages since
the war. He did not, however, reveal
how the latest victory of the three
year agreement is being used to crush
the heart of the miners! union. the
100 per cent organized Illinois field of
100000 miners. Delegates from all
countries were awake to the danger TO
their standards from the application
of the Dawes plan and the lengthen-
ing Of the German miners times to 10
hours day. Delegates from England,
France and Belgium agreed TO use
their influence to prevent the payment
to their countries by Germany of coal
as reparations in kind.
VIII Their Leaders Striker
On the question Of war, the French
suggestion of a 24-hour strike in case
of a declaration of hostilities was OPP
posed, especially by British and Amer
lean delegates, as impractical. The
matter was settled by a resolution
agreeing to carry on anti-war propa-
ganda, to join in mo More War" de-
monstrations, and to ask that the
executive committee meet in case any
country threatened war for the pur-
pose of then taking such action as
seemed best.

trade of the nation.
Strengthening the co-opera-
tives is the slogan for the COM
ing year. And another slogan
which goes with it is Get Next
to the Peasant.
State Industry Progresses.
Last year the increase of industry
was the main problem, on which Trot-
sky prepared the program. State in
dustry has been forging ahead. In
some of it's branches, such as leather
and chemicals, it surpasses the pre-
war output. In textiles it is close to
pre-war. 1t lags behind in the heavy
industry
Immediately after Lenins death,
when Rykox was chosen chairman of
peoples commissars, Djerjinsky step
ped into Rykov's job as head of state
industries, and proceeded to carry out
the orders of making nationwide
policy felt in industry. For instance,
when the coal in the Donetz was seen
to be seriously hindered in produc-
ton because of lack of large scale or
ders, all government factories were
given a thorough inspection to see
where coal could be introduced in
stead of wood and oil AS a result,
coal is moving now on the Donetz and
will probably never stop again.
still Have Difficulties.
But while the way ahead is rela-
lively clear in industry, it is a differ
ent matter in commerce. BY the be-
ginning of this year, internal trade in
Russia was Ga per cent in private
hands, and SO per cent in government
or cooperative hands. The govern
ment had the greater part of the
wholesale trade, but the private trad
ers had between 80 and 80 per cent
of the little village stores. Till now
the state syndicates and co-operatives
have not been able to compete sue
cessfully in this field, as their atten-
ton has been elsewhere, and their ap-
paratus has been too heavy and bu-
reaucratlc.
In attacking this new front, careful
consideration was given to the rela
tive merits of co-operatives and go
eminent chain stores. The decision
was in favor Of co-operatives, with
government chain stores only in
places where, temporarily, no coop.
leratiyes are uossible.
co-operatives Step Ahead.
The reason for preferring the CO.
operatives was that they are already
socializing organism, based on vol
untary goodwill of the peasants" and
are less bureaucratic. Other meas
ures in favor of the peasants were
that the taxes, which have recently
shown a tendency to become COM
pick, as town, county and province
added their bit to the central federal
| tax, should be combined into one, as
sessed at one time in the year on a
definite basis, so that the peasant may
know exactly what he has to count on.

which in turn, is in the hands Of Wall

A Huge Mine.
The Burlington Railroad mine is
one of the biggest soft coal mines in
the state and therefore in the world.
1t produces around 5000 tons of coal
every day, and employs more men
than any other mine in the world,
about 1900.
After long period of unemploy-
ment the mine started work this
spring, keeping open an average of
three days a week. But with the pass
ing Of the unemployment spectre
other problems cropped up. The ex-
perience of the miners at Waller are
the everyday experiences, with some
variation, of every miner in every
coal mine in the world. They are the
daily skirmishes of the class strug-
gle, which have hardened the coal
miner, and made him as used to fight
ing for his rights as he is to eating
his meals.
Many Men Employed.
"The Burlington mine hires about
twice as many men as they. need, .
Mako Tinurak, an old resident OF
Waller told me. There are so many
men working down in the mine that
they get in each others way Each
miner has only small place to work
and consequently the individual out
put Is so small that on our piece
rate scale we make only a trifie more
than the non-union miner. We only
average four or FIVE dollars day
when we work, and we don't make
quite enuf to pay our living expen.
SEES. We are going in the hole even
when working, and this is one Of the
best mines II the state"
The miners in Waller are fighting
against these unjust conditions, and
they have lot to fight about. The
mine manager, Charles Anderson, Is
accused by the miners of neglectine
to provide for the safety Of the men
Anderson, at present, is out on $4,000
bond, charged by the mine examin
ers with forcing the men to work
under unsafe conditions.
Mine Filled with Gas.
There is a lot of gas and dust In
this mine anyhow" Martin Boravoc
another Waller miner, told me. "The
law provides that this mine shall
have a certain number of mine exam
liners. Contrary to this law, and con
trary to the rules of the United Mine
Workers Union, Anderson, the mine
manager, discharged nine mine ex
aminers. The mine examiners, claim
ing that It was an impossibility fol
the remaining few examiners to safe
guard the lives of the miners, ar
rested Anderson, charging he broke
the mine laws. Anderson was tried
in Benton, by the County Court, the
result being hung jury. Eleven men
were for acquittal and one declared
Anderson guilty. 1t is said intimida-
ton of the jurors brot this result.
Anderson is scheduled to be tried
before the Illinois State Mining Board
