CITY RULERSOF
MINNEAPOLIS TO
REDUCE WAGES
Unions S pitt BY the
Labor Takers
BY JOHN c. soLTIs.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. THE city
fathers have practically authorized the
finance committee Of the city council
to proceed at once with the reduction
Of the wages Of the city workers.
While no definite announcement has
been made with reference to the cut
in wages, it is believed that the slash
will be around 20 per cent.
Conservatives Make Good Threats.
This action of the city council fol-
lows closely the defeat OF the socialist
laborite majority last June. The con-
servatiyes are making good their
pledge of economy, by reducing the
wages of the city workers. This is
the only kind Of economy they under
stand; in the interest of the capital
lists.
The city workers are organized into
the "City and County Employees I'm
ion" 1t was a strong organization
once, based upon the principle OF in
dustrial unionism. However, Paul J.
Smith disliked this kind of solidarity,
so he split it up into several frag-
ments this spring. This, he regarded,
as blow against the reds. In reality
it was crime against the workers of
the city.
Reds Fight SpIltters.
The reds fought the splitting UP Of
the industrial union, standing squarely
for the principle of solidarity, as al
ways.
1t now remains to be seen just what
kind Of assistance the city workers
are going to get, from Paul ]. Smith
and his satellites, in the coming clash
over wages with the city fathers.

from Utica, N. Y, Tuesday. Leaving
Chicago last Thursday, Mother"
Bloor resumed her continental hike,
begun from San Francisco a month
ago and interrupted in Chicago for a
weeks attendance at the Workers

As this Communist pioneer crosses
the continent, she leaves behind her
newly established camps of class-con-
scious workers. New branches of the
Workers Party, new Junior groups,
hundreds of new subscribers to the
DAILY WORKER: all as the result
of Mother" Bloor's mass meetings to
point out the need for organized act
ivity among the workers and farmers
in order that their best interests may
be furthered.
This week, Comrade Bloor is blaz-
ing a trail thru the caste-hardened
east. Already she has had big de-
monstrations in Buffalo, Rochester
and Syracuse, New York. Today she
is in Utica and will go on from there

lished at 1906 South Racine avenue,
Chicago, Ill.
John L. LEWIS, president of the
- United Mine Workers of America
has written a book, entitled, 1.-THE
Miners Fight for American Stand
ards" One little quotation from the
book is interesting in view of the
increasing Generalization Of the BIZ
luminous unions since the Jackson
vile pact was signed. Lewis writes:
With three-year agreement in the
union fields, which forestolls strikes
and leaves no hope for profiteering
at the expense of union fields during
suspensions, the non-union interests
are gradually bankrupting
themselves in a vain effort to over
come geography by selling enslaved
man-power in competition with coal"
The miners will say this is the bunk
and 1t is.

President Coolidge does not look

He sees no justification for in

ing the minimum of $72o annually
by more than 100 per cent, he said.
Coolidge paid an income tax of
over $14,ooo.oo. He should worry.

lspeeIaI 70 rhe oaIly workerl

Especial to The Daily Worker)
NEW YORK, NJ ", Sept. 1.-Po-
land paid indemnities to the Soviet
Unions army for losses incurred
In a recent border fight between
the two countries with U. S. gold.
This fact Is disclosed In a recent
article that appeared In Polish
paper.
The article states that six New
York banks, the Irving Bank, the
Columbia Trust Company, Morgan,
Schroeder, the American and the Ma
tlonal Park Bank advanced the Po-
Iish government 100000 on July
9, at per cent. This money was
used, says the article, for the mob
iIization of the Polish army for the
recent demonstration against the
Soviet Union.
Another Polish paper tells how
the reserves of 1899 and 1900 had
been called out for four weeks
training to defeat the Soviet army
and failed.

said in the convention in my speech

business of the party was limited to
theory there was no special necessity
to fight against wrong theory be-
cause there was no resultant action"
This sentence is theoretical non
sense and practical opportunism.

the basic thought did express.

mainly activization. AS long as the
party was inactive and the opportun-
lists differed from the party as a whole
and the Party's concept only in
theory they, (the opportunists,) could
very well submit to the party and
could refrain from fighting the partys
policy. But when the party becomes
party of action then the opportunists
are also driven into action. But not
into action for and with the party,

posed to the party engaging in action

satisfaction and restlessness which
are spreading among the masses Of
the workers as a result of increased
pressure of capitalism and the CAPT
talist state on the one hand and of the
betrayal of the union leaders who be-
come tools and agents of capitalism
among the organized workers on the
other.
The struggle of the New York gar
ment workers forecast of the future
when the majority of the workers will
rally to the class struggle under the
slogans of the Communist Party and
the Communist International.
Against Capitalism.
The convention calls to the atten-
ton of the workers that their struggle
is not only against the machine Of
Sigman-Perlstein Co., but against
all the forces Of the capitalist govern
ment which are aiding their employ
ers and the union leaders.
We call to the attention of the work
ers that the present terrorism OF the
bVoooo IA bhO ihlCAcbL VI OlBindu anu

are friends and servants of the boss
es and that the struggle of the gar
ment workers is part of the general
class struggle of the proletariat
against its exploiters. Success in this
fight requires that 1t be militantly
carried against the employers for the
demands Of the workers.
Indignation and Struggle for Power
The convention declares that this
struggle must lead not only toward
recognizing the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union as an instru.
ment OF class struggle, but must lead
also to the amalgamation Of all needle
workers into one great union and to
their uniting with the entire proleta.

Send Out Bad Coal

ARCHIBALD, Pa, Sept 1.-Culm
coal is again on its way to the New
England, New York and other eastern
markets to be sold to the consumer as
high grade anthracite. That happened
also on the eve of the 1928 hard coal
strike when the operators began to
reduce their banks of refuse along
side the GOLFERS by mixing ashes
and cobblestones," as the miners call
it, with the cleaned coal.
At the Gravity Slope colliery at
Archibald the culm mixing is going on
at great rate. The culm is flushed
with a hose and is then shot down
from the bank through a chute to be
emptied into the cars. John Boylan
of the list inspection district Of Dist.
1, United Mine Workers, charges that
200 cars of the culm were taken from
the banks in a short time last week.
The government knows about it but
the miners think it will sit tight. Tom
Davis of the federal department of
labor recently took pictures of the
culm-mixing and sent them on to
Washington where they will probably
gather dust until the strike is over.
