MINERS PICKETT;
OFFICIALS ASK
HELP FROM GOD
Operators Try to Evict
w. Va. Strikers
by Worker Correspondent

CLARKSBURG, w. Va, July o.
The principal speakers at the miners
meeting here were chief international
union representative, Van A. Bittner,
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, Phillip Murray, and the former
preacher, Tygart, who opened the
meeting with prayer.
The picket line at Owings, W. Va,
consists of about 300 men, women
and children.
Union Officials Give Little Aid.
Van Bittner gave us the same old
bunk about, Don't give up boys" and
| would like to know how man with
family of five to tan persons is go
ing to stay on strike rSth the kind of
support the npion ntnNes are giving
us. 4t
Tony Castelak's brother John is
scabbing at Owings, and the only diff
ference between the two is that John
was caught in lot of his crooked
deals, and after he saw he couldn't
make any more money he went scab-
bling. Whereas Tony is still union
man las he claims), and on the relief
committee, and the only reason he is
staying out is because he handles all
the relief checks.
A Few Mine Scabs.
Others who went scabbing against
us are the Wright family, ku kluxers;
Collins, a gunman; old man Stuttler
from Owings, who used to be the best
speaker the local had, and the Dor
seys.

unite into an international fight
against all imperialist maneuvers of
the capitalist class; and he called
upon all young workers who were
ready to fight against the capitalist
system which led to imperialistic
wars, to join the Young Workers
League.
Negroes Fight Imperialism.
Comrade Martin Gordon, of the
Young Workers League, spoke on
the relation of Imperialism to the po-
sition of the Negro workers. He told
of the fight being made by the Com
munists in France for the withdrawal
of troops from Morocco. He showed
that the Communists were fighting
with the workers of all countries for
their freedom from the yoke of CAPT
talism, and he called upon all Negro
organizations to heed the call of the
All-America Anti-Imperialist League,
and to join in the fight against the
oppression of colonial and semi-col-
onial peoples by the capitalist class.

who showed how the imperialists are
trying to mobilize the workers for
military training in order to have
them ready to shoot down the work
ers of other countries when they
would rise up against the super-ex.
ploitation by foreign capitalists.
The Sunday meeting was the best
that Cleveland has seen for a long
time. A large number of Chinese
workers and many members of the
Kuo Min Tang took part in the de-
monstration. At least a hundred
Negro workers enthusiastically took
part in this protest against imperial
ism. When the police forbid the
sale of the DAILY WORKER, the
crowd showed its spirit by buying
every copy of a large bundle of pa
pers at a nearby corner. Many work
ers contributed to anti-imperialist
work by paying fifty cents or dollar
for their papers.
Many valuable contacts have been
made at this meeting with workers
of all nationalities, and these will be
used by the Workers Party and the
Young Workers League in the united
front campaign which they are max
ing for Hands off China.

did not blame wages for high prices
but blamed royalties and the profits
produced by artificial scarcity OF coal.
u. S. Commission Facts.
"The fundamental fact in the an
thracite coal problem" it said in its
July 5, 1928 report, lis that hereto
fore these limited and exhaustible
natural deposits have been in the abb
solute private possession of their
legal owners, to be developed or with
held at will, to be leased for such roy
alties as could be exacted, to be trans
ported and distributed at such rates
and in such manner as a doublehead-
ed railroad and coal combination
might find most advantageous from
the point of view of private profit"
| Royalties have been increasingly adj
| iusted as a percentage on the price
thus leading the owners of the COM
.bine to encourage the high prices pro-
duced by shortage scares. The COM
mission found royalties as high as
/ 1884 ton, more than half the wage
cost. In 1922 royalties from coal
lands owned by the Girard estate
amounted to $12O ton and brot a
return of SIS $3.50, 900 on an original in
vestment of $2,34O.
The wage cost of producing ton
of anthracite averages not more than
$405 Items in the price of ton
purchased by Chicago consumers
would be-
Ton of Anthracite
Labor Cost ................ ....""S4.05
Total mine cost -. .............. $50
Mine price ..........................". 6.2T
Freight .................-................. 4.48
Retail price ....... ..............t3.25
These averages for 1000 Id. ton
based on an estimate of the proper
tionate consumption of stove and
small sizes. The average ton of stove
size coal retails at about SIC or four
times the wage cost.
Owners Get Fat Excess Profit.
The coal combine is getting profit
of rs cents ton where % cents would
pay 6 per cent on all the capital in
vested. The distributors are getting
$3.50 ton where 50 would pay for
storage and haulage and allow fair
profit. A distributing company in
Buffalo in 1920 sold coal for $1.90
more than it cost and made 100 per
cent on it's investment
Labor Underpaid.
Anthracite miners working on a
tonnage basis get less than $4,000
year while those paid on a daily
basis are making less than 1900. The
coal commission found many of these
day laborers getting very uncertain
and inadequate income. The excessive
profits exclusive of royalties repres-
ent sum sufficient to give all these
workers a 10 per cent wage increase
and at the same time to permit a
reduction in price to the consumer.
Elimination of excessive royalties
coupled with the ending of monopoly
underproduction would make possible
higher wages with prices well within
the reach of the average householder.

MARS MYSTERY
SOLUTION IS
SOUGHT
New Photographs Show At
mosphere Renewing Life
Theory on Planet
By InternatlonaI News Service

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. i0.-A
marvellous new Photographic plate
that takes remarkably clear long
distance photographs and that may
solve the mystery OF Mars has been
developed by Doctor w. II. Wright,
of Lick Observatory, on Mount
Hamilton, fifty miles south OF San
Francisco.
BY means Of the new plate, which
makes Use OF the new infra.red
light, Doctor Wright has taken
photographs of Mars disclosing that
an atmosphere IL present and there
by renewing the theory that life
may exist on the mysterious planet
about which 80 little has been
learned.
Besides this, Doctor Wright has
been able to take clear, sharp photo.
graphs Of San Jose and the Coast
Range mountains, thirty miles
away from Mount Hamilton, and
the observatory. Photographs taken
plates disclosed nothing but great
bank Of atmospheric haze.
Along with his discussion OF the
Wright had something to say about
the possibility Of life being present
on Mars.
"Isathere life or are there human
beings on Mars? Well, you have
asked me two questions" he said.
In answer / might say It's 4
million to one shot that there are
no human beings on Mars, but
life-weH, that's another matter.
f we assume the theory of
evolution to be true, and further.
more take II for granted that life
in some form or other got started
on Mars, it would be quite unrea-
s0nable, in fact absurd. to assume
that organic forms followed the
same course of development there
as on the earth. The chances
would be largely against It.
1t Is conceivable that the Mar
tan may have developed into a
being with no power Of speech OF
bearing, but with q completely
equipped radio set as a part Of his
body.
''0f course, this sounds absurd
and Tar fetched, but it is no more
so than to suppose that there are
human beings like ourselves on
Mars"
While experimenting with Pho.
tograEhs Of the planet made with
various color schemes, Doctor
Wright found reason to believe
that there is an atmosphere around
Mars. His experiments showed
that by using infraired light the
atmosphere or envelope of gases
around the earth may be photo
graphed through with comparative
ease. When using the ordinary
violet light q very few miles IS
the limit Of the cameras eye.
This was seen by pictures taken
by Doctor Wright from the top
of Mount Hamilton toward San
Jose.
In the picture taken with violet
light. only the nearby ridge some
six miles distant is visible. In
the second picture the curtain Of
the atmosphere. and San Jose,
thirteen and q half miles away,
and the Coast Range mountains,
thirty miles distant, are as clear
as the foreground.
