It is true that victory in the pres
ent struggle win prevent the bosses
from forcing down the standard OF
the miners for the moment and VIII
strengthen the union. But as long
as the present powerful group OF capt.
talists is in unchaIlenged control Of
the industry, they will be able to force.
intolerable conditions on the workers
and the greatest grievance of the min
ers will remain unsettled.
The only solution for this is q
strong fight against this private own
ership Of the mines by few corpora
tions and a fight for the nationaliza-
ton Of the mines under workers. con-

Against the Use Of Troops in Strtkesl
Against Government interference.
The powerful anthracite operators,
linked up with the coal barons of the
bituminous fields, never have any
trouble in getting the Cooperation OF
the bosses government against the
miners First the, government offers
it's help thru appointing apcommisaiOn
which is supposed to "arbitrate and.
does its best to force the miners to-
accept only the slightest increases.
Second, if this fails, the government
intervenes to the extent Of sending it's
armed troops against the unarmed
coal diggers.
For Labor Party.
The manner in which the operators
use the capitalist government against
the miners in addition to their use of
the courts, the press, the schools, etc,
makes it clear to the miners that they
must fight for political organization
of the working class. Only by build
ing a labor party supported by the
masses of workers in America, can
we be sure of the backing so neces-
sary in order to carry our struggles
thru to victory. Only with huge Ia
Dor party representing the workers
can we fight the attempts of the
bosses governments to turn our in
dustriai victories into defeats. Only.
with the help of labor party can 4es
force the naturalization of the mines
and carry the struggle thru for
workers and farmers government
that will be a government of the
workers and will not issue injunctions
and break strikes of the miners as
the present bosses government did
in 1919 and 1922.
The young workers who know so
well what wage cuts and worse con-
ditions mean must be the first to
rally to the support Of the anthracite
miners. If the government should cali
on scabs to break the strike the young
workers must be among the first to
rally to the aid of the union. They will
refuse to fight against the miners
if they are put into uniform and
called upon for strikebreaking pur-
poses.
The young workers who know from
bitter experience what victory for,
the operators VIII mean for the young
miners. must give their militant sup
port. They must, fight with. the an
thracite miners and help to turn this
strike into such a victory that it will
mark turning point in the retreat
Of the working class before the huge
offensive of the American bosses.
Young workers, young miners, fight
for these demands!
