either meeting.
While about so delegates represent

tended that conference the officials
had meanwhile got busy circularizing
the district with dire threats Of ex-
pulsion Of all who should decide to
participate. The old motion passed
at the eleventh hour at the packed
convention year ago, branding this
and all such meetings as dual and
stating for expulsion not only those
who participate, but also those who
give aid in any way, was dug up for
the purpose.
The conference went ahead with
its work planned to circularize petit
tons for the pardon of the Mounds
vile prisoners, to gather funds for
relief of their families and elected a
publicity committee to further this
work. 1t also went on record urging
that the local unions themselves take
action on the charges. publicly made,
of incorporation of funds by the
district convention to bring impeach-
ment proceedings. This demand is
now growing in volume as the resolu-
ton passes from local to local.
Charges were preferred in local
1915 against James Oates for having
attended the conference. After the
man who presented the charges had
been compelled to admit that they
were framed by the district officials
the local refused to even consider the
matter. Likewise in the case of Tom
Ray whose local INDICATED him of the
charges made. Both locals had thus
decided and in both instances their
decisions were appealed to the dis
trict board. Very soon the board
showed its hands in fragrant defiance
of the constitution of the organization

justment with the locals, the decision

Fighting the Famine in Ireland

sell In Portacloy. and other places
not forty miles distant it has failed
completely and the people have been
able to SOW no seed. The oat crop on
which their poultry industry so
largely depends was also a failure,
and the hens are dying for want Of
food. Seed oats and seed potatoes
are the urgent need if an even worse
famine is to be avoided.
After the famine in 1897 fish curing
stations we're put up at Belderring
and others of the worst districts so
that the people might salt the fish so
plentiful along the coast. Fishing
used to be the main industry Of the
people. Today the fish curing sta
tions are closed. There are no fish.
During the Anglo-Irish war and since
the Free State came into existence,
the English steam trawlers have been
allowed to come right into the coast
within the prohibited Smile area
With their large nets and powerful
engines they have, as the poor fish
ermen say, dragged the bottom out
OF the sea-" in other words, they have
destroyed the spawning beds, and now
there are no fish, the little fishing
boats are idle and the nets have
rotted. An inspector of fisheries told
me that it would take five years prob
ably for the fishing to recover, even
if the English trawlers were now to
be kept outside the coastal area. The
Free State evidently fears antagoniz-
ing their English masters, and makes
no effort to protect the fisheries. The
Helga, the gunboat used by the Eng
fish to shell Dublin in 1916, has been
taken over by the Free State for the
protection Of the coast, but the Eng
fish captain is still retained and It is
not likely he will be disagreeable to
his own countrymen. An occasional
little French fishing boat is caught
and fined, but the big English trawl-
ers who are doing all the damage are
left in peace to ruin the fishing
grounds on which the life of the west
ern seaboard depends. This means
that whenever. like this year, there is

to get rid of two militant opponents
who had always made it a point to
rally the rank and file membership
for the building and strengthening Of
the organization and for a fight
against any encroachments of the
operators. Naturally the both locals
refused to become the tools of any
such dirty dealings and refuse to carry
out the dictates made in violation Of
their constitution.
. While p T. Pagan and the other
Iackeys of John L. Lewis are uniting
their cunning abilities to fight those
who give life to the union and make
it an easy prey for the operators,
union mines are being closed down
and the miners constantly swell the
ranks of the unemployed army. The
Pittsburgh Coal company alone, in one
month, closed % of its mines. What
do the union officials propose to do
for these unemployed miners? There
is no sign Of any move. AS long as
the bureaucrats have enough in the
treasures to keep up their fat salaries
they have no personal worries and
don't give hang for the rank and file
miners. If times get real bad they
will turn to the operators for their
reward or perhaps begin looking
around for a soft birth in a so-called
labor bank or labor union insurance
company.

on counterfeit campaign Of organ
ization in northern West Virginia

ers. However, this relief work Is a
story which has become an integral
part Of the miners progressive move
ment of district 5, the details OF
which are briefly as follows.
Growing out of the Cliftonville
march during the strike 1922, when
several hundred Pennsylvania miners
crossed the border to West Virginia
to urge complete solidarity of their
fellow workers, 40 men were sent to
prison. When brought to trial, five
pleaded not guilty and were given
heavy sentences. Upon advise Of the
district officials with intimations of
early release, the rest Of the men,
when later brought to trail, pleaded
guilty and were given sentences from
three to five years. They soon found
they were left in the lurch, no real
efforts were made by the officials to
secure the early release. But a vigor-
Gus rank and file movement sweeping
the locals finally opened the jail doors
for 26 Of these men.
The militant miners have repeat
eddy exposed the base hypocrisy and
the miserable role played by the whole
official family in its betrayals of the
heroic efforts of the rank and file
workers to establish complete soli-
darity during the 1922 strike. They
have exposed the deals made and t
swelling of the bank accounts of those
board members placed in trusteeship
of relief funds for the coke region
miners. They have exposed the cor.
ruptness Of the district ofsce in
handling relief funds to the miners
who were out in the crucible strike
Accounts of funds distributed were
padded from $4,000 to $4,000 a week

dren only the fittest survive. Emf
grafton goes up. The English colonies
where conditions are hard, and cheap
labor is wanted, profit thereby.
As 1 returned in the train from
= Mayo, at each station heard the
emigrant "keane" All who travel by
the western line know it, and it is
hard to forget. It tears ones very
heart out. The crying of the mothers
as the train bears of their dearest to
foreign slavery, the shrill cry of the
old people who. know they will never
see the bright boys and girls who are
going again, the "keane" echoes right
along the line as the train steams
away, to be taken up at the next sta
ton where more emigrants are wait
ing.
The emigrant "keane" which had
almost ceased during the war when
the republic brot hope to the people,
is echoing wildly again thru the Free
State.
At the Workers International Re-
lief committee have seen letters tell
ing OF the conditions in Donegal, let
tiers from people like P. Gallagher Of
Dungloe paddy McCope) from which
it is evident that things are quite as
bad there as in Mayo. Col. O'Cal
laghan Westhropp's statement at the
farmers congress described alarming
conditions in Glare. The Irish Times
had an article published from a CORE
spondent contradicting this, but few
days later had to admit everything as
far as the wiping out Of the cattle
and the desperate need Of the small
farmers.

BY ARNE swABEck.

In their reckless destruction Of the
effectiveness and fighting ability Of
the union the officials Of District 5,
United Mine Workers, are now at
tempting to expel all militant mem
bers from the organization and thus
prevent any further exposure of their
msn1anagement and spurious pre-
tense Of opposition to the efforts of
the coal operators to enforce the 1917
scale.
Viewed together with the attacks
made upon members duly elected to
certain offices within District IL, Illi-
nois, who have declared themselves as
Communists, it becomes clear that a
well-planned and centralized drive has
been launched to eliminate the real
fighters from the organization and
pave the way for the policy of col
liberation with the operators.
On April 81 James Oates, president
Of Local 1916, was ordered expelled
from the union by District 5 executive
board after having been notified to ap-
pear to answer to charges placed
against him. On May A Tom Ray,
member of Local 2O12, appeared, upon
summons, before the board. He re-
fused to answer to any charges or
concede the officials the right to place
him on trial. That the board will as
sumo the same arrogant position as
taken towards Oates and also order
the expulsion of Tom Ray is not the
least in doubt as both are well known
militants leading the progressive
movement Of the district.
The excuse furnished to cover this
high handed action is based on a mo-
ton carried at a packed district con-
vention held in March, 1924 This
motion threatened expulsion of any
member participating in any kind of
a conference not sanctioned by the
official family. One such conference
was held March Is to consider means

TN 1897 there was a partial famine in
= Ireland just as there is this year.
The English government then acted
exactly as the Free State government
is acting today. Thru its official press
it denied famine and minimized dis
tress. In the house of commons when
confronted by the Irish M. Ps. with
the names of the people who had died
of starvation, Mr.. Balfour loosely
asked il the Irish expected him to sup
ply the peasants with champagne. To
day Minister Michigan in the Free
State Dali, replying to the labor T. d.,
admitted that there would be deaths
from starvation in Ireland, but added,
it was not the business of the Dali to
provide work for the people and the
sooner they realized this the better.
T WAS in Mayo during the last big
L election, and in some of the homes
I visited while canvassing, there was
no food. Women told me they had not
broken their fast that day. The woman
showed me bit of dry bread she was
giving to sick child, and said 1t had
been given her by neighbor, and
saw that the sugar bowl was quite
empty. Hunger is written on the thin
faces Of the crowds OF unemployed
men standing hstlessly about the
streets. They viii tell you I'VE want
work" and turn away ashamed lest
you should take them for beggars
Except the professional beggars who
follow you around promising prayers,
no one asks for aims. The people are
very proud and very sensitive, and
try to hide their poverty as if it were
a disgrace. Only when someone is
i'll, or when the crying of the children
for food becomes too intolerable
some woman will burst forth and tell
the truth. How they are maintaining
existence on the relief that is being
given them is a question that have
not been able to solve. Four shilling
per week for widow with seven chill
dren! No wonder the children are
naked under the outer ragged garment
no wonder consumption is rife.
WHAT makes the danger OF the
w present situation is that the
shops also by giving credit have tided

the people over many bad years, are
themselves in bad straits and are
able to give credit no longer.
This is the second bad harvest fol
lowing on the disorganization caused
by the war. In Charlestown and
Swinford this is plainly evident, if one
looks at the empty shelves, and the
shop windows filed with dummy boxes
and empty bottles, and notes the gen.
eral air Of depression. Many of the
shop-keepers are on the verge of
bankruptcy, they are going "wallop"
in the local expression.
IN Ballina which is one Of the most
prosperous trading towns of the
West and where the depletion of
stocks is not so evident, l saw women
from the country in shawls, buying
tea by the ounce and sugar by the
quarter pound, and meal by the
pound, and SO ashamed and so timid,
fearing anyone should notice the tiny
marketing, and still more fearful that
their credit was outrun and that they
would meet with refusal.
Tho the roads are such as to make
motor travelling exciting, little is be-
ing done to repair them. In some
places, however, the Free State gov.
eminent has opened relief works just
before the election. Three shilling four
pence per day seemed to be the aver.
age pay, and compared to the one
shilling per day given by the English
1t looked good; but the rate of living
has trebled in Ireland since 1897, and
the English gave work six days a
week and did not make relief work
conditional on belonging to any po-
litical organization while the Free
State authorities generally only pro-
vide two or three days work week
and make employment conditional on
the man first paying one shilling and
joining the Cumann-na-Gael organiza-
ton. In cases where the man was
too poor to pay the one shilling, eggs
were taken in lieu OF payment to the
Free State party fund.
THE famine is partial and curiously
4 patchy. 1t was the same in 1897. In
Killala for instance. and In Bally-
castle last years potato crop was
splendid and farmers have seed to
