VAN BITTNER
LOST MANY
MINERS STRIKES
BY ALEX REID

Evidence Of the growing power Of
he left wing in the U. M. w. Of A.
seen in the organizational gesture
Of Lewis, Murray and Bittner in West
Virginia. A very feeble attempt at
organizing is the method employed,
IAN advertisement in a capitalist
newspaper calling on, the workers to
organize and strike for the provisions
of the Jacksonville agreement Van
Bittner is on the. gropnd-a forerun-
ner Of defeat il he is left there. 1t is
safe to say that whatever Bittner has
attempted as the lackey of Lewis, he
has made a failure Of, outside his
successful" campaign Of explosions.
The Alabama strike, under the d.
rection of Bittner, petered out, COM
plete failure thru mismanagement by
Bittner and the treachery of the Lewis
gang. AS a result the conditions of
the Alabama miners today are hors
rible and becoming worse.
Bittner's Kansas Record of Treaehery
Bittner's infamous work in Kansas
will long be stencil in the history
of the American miners. Likewise,
the dirty work in the Collinsville field
of Pennsylvania.
And this same representative Of the
Lewis gang is once more among the
miners, this time in West Virginia.
Not because of any initiative or desire
of Lewis or Bittner to organize, but
solely because of the response to the
appeal for organization by the Com
munists, progressives, and militants
made directly to the miners in and
around that field.
Progressives Encourage Rank
and File
The work of the progressive miners
in Pennsylvania, and the success Of
their program in spite Of drastic op-
position by the machine, has acted as
a stimulus to the miners everywhere,
who, in the face of monumental OBJ
stacles, are on the verge of revolt.
Ably supported and led by the pro-
gressive miners, Communists and mil
itants, it promises to be struggle OF
major Importance, which may draw in
the whole of West Virginia, Kentucky,
and Alabama.
The progressive miners will attempt
to broaden this battle front, and as
the Jacksonville agreement is being
violated and held in contempt and
scorn on every hand by the operators
who signed the same, It becomes the
duty of Lewis to call out every union
miner in America and lengthen the
battle front across the nation and
make the fight an intelligent one with
a demand for naturalization of the
mines with control by the workers,
and no settlement until this is ac-
complished.
John l.. Lewis, the campaign COM
mitteeman OF the Wall Street candi-
date Coolidge, will not perform his
duty in this respect TO his class. No
general strike for him. The miners
must not interfere with the sacred
"order" OF capitalism. But the pro-
gressive miners, with the aid of the
Communists and militants will fight
on and eventually bring the struggle
OF the miners on a solid front to
victory.

CAUSE And KIND
OF INTERNATIONAL
LABOR UNIONISMS
Pre- War Internationals
Did Not Act
BY A. LosoVsKY.
General Secretary of the Red Interna-
tional of Labor Unions.

NGuCI0l OOCA OtdAy VI luc IeCQ 1ubCAh9r
tional of Labor Unions.
The theological difference which ex-
listed in the trade union movement and
the factional struggle within it found
their expression also within the organ
isational struggle, and the last, in its
order, found it's expression in the In.
ternational which was created before
the war. The careful study of these
various factions within the trade I'm.
ion movement will give an explanation
why the beginning of war was also
the beginning of bankruptcy of the
worldwide union and socialist move
ment.
What is the difference between the
labor movement and the other forms
OF social movements? First of all, it
is an international movement. Capital
played a big role in making it an inter
national movement, if not by creating
the same conditions of labor, as least
by the same forms and methods Of ex,
ploitation, which were the forerun-
ners Of the creation of international
organization for the working class.
Thus, the necessity Of creating inter.
national organization nternationals
was growing as long as capitalism
was expanding into new countries. 1t
was growing also because capitalism
itself has been becoming more inter
national and called forth as a power
against itself the international labor
organisation.
Capitalism Forces Internationalism.
What are the characteristics of the
18th and the beginning of the goth
centuries? In that time capitalism
created new organization for better
exploitation, it created new combines,
trusts, syndicates, ETC., in which it
concentrated it's power, thanks to
which is was able to hold down the
working masses. All that, and the
development of capitalist exploitation
beyond tho border of the given nation,
forced the working masses to such
forms Of unity which would also ex-
tend beyond the borders Of the sep
arate country, which would Unite the
workers Independently of this belong.
ing to one or the other nation or
state.
Thus, the growth of capitalism, the
growth Of forms and methods of cap
italist exploitation, the growth of the
centralized state, the progress of
technique, the means of communica-
ton, etc, all together forced the work
ing class to seek new forms Of con.
nections in order to be able, by cen.
tralized effort in united fight to COM
pei consideration from the employers.
lnternatlonals-But Not of Action.
But. Notwithstanding the great me-
cessity of a struggle in united front,
on an international scale, neither the
international trade union movement
nor the political movement had risen

they did create political and trade un.

A warning has been issued by
w. C. MacFadden of Fargo, secrc-

association, to all members of that
organization concerning the possi-
bility of attempted bank robberies
in this section of the country soon.
The theft of an oxy-acetylene torch
outfit in Minneapolis a few days
ago has been reported and it is ex-
pected that the persons who made
away with this equipment will
make an attack on some bank in
the territory by the torch process
before long.

states and our members are warned
to use every precaution possible t.
prevent successful attack during

notice reads. 1t is suggested and
urged that night watchmen be put
on duty in all towns and villages
without police protection. These
watchmen need not be unnecessar-

be concealed where banks and busi-

but it is asserted that, if brought
into action, they will fire upon the
invaders until silenced by their su-

The morale Of the officers and

OF $70,231.22
Auditor Nelson Explains Ger
tain Figures in the De-
partment's Report
DEFICIT HAS INCREASED
Interc, and Depreciation
Charrcs Cause Raise in
l. ,tc" Figure

Grand Forks, \. d.. Oct. 2i.--W)-
Analyzing the report of the operation
of the North Dakota state mill and
elevator for the period from January
to September 30, 1925, X. c. Nelson,
auditor Of the plant, points out that
it shows a gross operating profit of
S7O,231 % for the nine months period
although the interest and deprccia-
tion charges for the same period have
raised the total deficit from $637 ,2Gs
to Ss19,S74.78.
Mr.. Nelson states that the analysis
several days ago is inaccurate in
several respects. For the nine months
from January to September 80, 1925
Mr.. Nelson's report shows fixed
charges totaling S252,938. Since the
deficit for the period is only $lS2,-
706.7S, the gross operating profit is
left at 7O,23l.22.
During September, 1925, the mill
department made Il gross profit of
SAT 7,sO6.G6. Deducting from this
amount the interest and depreciation
charges on the mill of S22,S5l.33 4
net profit of S24,955.33 is left for the
month.
The gross profit for the elevator
in September was $5,6O3.49 and the
interest and depreciation charges
$5,252.90 leaving net profit for the
month Of S350.50.
The gross profit for the entire
enterprise for the month Of Septem.
ber is therefore S4S,l57.16, and the
net profit after the payment of all
fixed charges S25,305 S3, according tc
the figures in the report.

endorsed today by Chairman Green
of the house ways and means COM
mittee.
Such scheme was presented to
the committee yesterday by the Ma
tional Committee on inheritance
taxation, composed of tax experts
from every section Of the country.
In endorsing the six year plan,
Mr.. Green said this time would give
opportunity for states to enact uni
form inheritance tax laws prior to
withdrawal of the federal govern
ment.
Chairman Green opposed immedi-
ate repeal, but suggested that full
credit might be allowed in settle
ment of the federal levies for
amounts paid on state inheritance
taxes. Secretary Mellon has pro-
posed immediate repeal, and his
position was endorsed yesterday by
number of governors.
