mo WAGE CUT
SAY MINERS OF
NOVA SCOTIA
Militants Remind Miners
of Their Power

The coal miners of District rs
Nova Scotia have been asked to ac-
cept a cut in wages by the British
Empire Steel corporation The rea-
sons advanced by this blood sucking
octopus are:
1. "The steel trade is so depressed
that the Sydney Steel plant cannot
operate at a profit.
2. 1.-THE coal trade has become un-
satisfactory, owing to the ability of
the United States producers to under
sell our coal in Canadian markets"
Sounds Like harrington.
This is the same argument put up
by Frank harrington at the Illinois
miners convention when he urged the
miners to produce more and cleaner
coal so that the Illinois mine operat.
ors could successfully compete with
the nonunion mines of w. Virginia
and Kentucky.
The miners in District 26 are deter
mined to fight against any attempt to
cut their wages. The following is

But when the miners union Officials

instead of proposing something for the

take some action by themselves.
Now the whole Illinois coal field has
become stirred with activity. The
needs Of the unemployed have become
formulated into concrete demands
upon the state government to enact
legislation providing relief for the un-
employed and for the industry to bear
the burden of maintenance.
Repeatedly the rank and file coal
miners have demanded action from
their officials and proposed that con
ferences be held to work out measures
for relief but they failed to respond

is an outworn economic system that

Whereas, the miners all over the
