miners; to join the fight against the
employers.
The manifesto itself set forth con.

should fight, pointed out the solution
of their many problems, and attacked
the Lewis bureaucracy. This got un-

This is the Communist group in this
country and while the heading OF the
circular being sent out carries the ad-

want unity with the soft coal fields,
they want a minimum wage, they
want a labor party. they want every.

demands.
