TILL SEPT. 9TH
Defense Meetings on
Sunday and Monday
lspeeIaI to rhe oaIIy workerl


zElGLER, III. Sept. 3.-The pre-
lImlnary hearing in the cases against
twenty five members of the United
Mine Workers Local 9e2, who are to
be tried in THE capitalists courts upon
complaint Of D. B. Cobb, sub-distriet
official Of the union for conspiracy
to murder" Cobb, has been postponed
until Tuesday Sept. 8.
These charges are not only being
pressed by the snake, Cobb, but are
sanctioned by the whole Harrington
machine of the union and backed by
the Ku Klux Khan.
Part Of Harrington Plot
The whole fight against the pro-
gressives at zeigler, of which these
charges are an outgrowth, is part of
the plot by Harrington, district presi-
dent of the miners union, to rule or
ruin the union.
A letter praising the ones who
scabbed during the recent walkout at
zeigler was sent into the town by
Harrington, and the new local off,
Gals were instructed to post the let
ter in ''conspicous place." 1t finally
found such place directly opposite
the Bell and Zoller Coal company's
office.
Progressives speek for Defense
Sunday last, Freeman Thompson
and John Watt, the deposed progress
sive officials of the Springfield sub
district, who have also felt the edge
of Farringson's axe, spoke at a mass
meeting at Zeigl-r under the auspices
of the Franklin county defense COM
mittee, which was organized to de-
fend the victims of the Zeigler ar
rests. n
Harrington was ably exposed by
the speakers as a tool of the oper-
ators. Documentary evidence was
produced to prove the charge. A
liberal collection was taken up for
the defense.
Two Meetings Ahead
Another defense meeting will be
held in West Frankfort on Sunday,
Sept. 6. The principal speaker will be
Duncan Macdonald of Springfield.
Other speakers will be Freeman
Thompson, John Watt and Henry Cor
bishley, the illegally removed presi-
dent of Local 992. These speakers
will also address a mass meeting at
Christopher on Labor Day.
A movement is being launched by
the rank and file to impeach Lon Fox
and d. B. Cobb, the treacherous sub
district officials, for their dirty work
at zeigler.

MOSCOW Hears
OF PROTESTS OF
CHINESE LABOR
Seek Re-Opening of the
Trade Union Offices

MOSCOW, Aug. 1e.-(5y MaiI)-Ac-
cording to messages from Pekin, all
public organizations are arranging de-
monstrations Of protest against the
mass murders in Tientzin and Tschan-
du.
A resolution demands the release Of
the arrested workers, the re-opening
of the sealed trade union headquarters
and other public organizations, the
strictest punishment for those respon-
sible for the murders, compensation
for the relatives Of the killed and
wounded, complete freedom of agita-
ton and propaganda and governments
al support for the strikers. A dele
cation presented these demands TO the
president Of the republic Tchuan Til
Tuan. .
Soldiers Occupy Factory
In Tientzin 400 workers and stu
dents have been arrested and II strike
leaders have been handed over to the
field courts and the danger of the
death sentence is imminent All fac
tories are occupied by the military.
In Pekin the strike of the workers
employed by the British embassy con-
tinues. In Shanghai strike of postal
workers has commenced. The post
Office has been occupied by English
sailors. Work in the Japanese textile
factories has not yet been taken up
as the town council refuses to supply
electric current to the factories. as
the employers have not yet fulfilled
the conditions for the ending OF the
strike.
An appeal Of the central committee
of the Communist Party of China
says; "The strike will be continued
despite all the prosecutions of the
foreign powers and the Chinese milit-
artists. The workers insist upon the
fulfillment of their just economic and
political demands. They demand that
the Pekin and Canton governments
carry out the latter. The strike of the
workers in Shanghai and Hong Kong
has released the movement for nation
al freedom which has grown and
widened, but which is still not suf-
ficiently strong to draw the whole
people into the struggle against for
eign Imperialism.
VIII Continue the Struggle
"The workers must strike to de-
velop and strengthen the movement
for freedom. At the moment when the
large and middle bourgeoisie are
striving to end the strike and the boy
colt, the proletariat alone without the
support of the other classes, cannot
obtain the abolition of the unequal
agreements.
"The workers will support the strug-
gle of the Chinese people for their
freedom, they demand that Pekin and
Canton act together.
"The Communist Party and the
Young Communist League and the
masses organized in the trade unions
together with the other democratic
and revolutionary elements will con-
tinue the struggle for freedom to its
victorious conclusion!"

just to direct such a question to
Amsterdam.
Despite all the attempts of the Sow
let unions and the Profintern to bring
about unity, the Amsterdam showed
no desire to assist, it wanted and
wants still to have nothing to do with
the representatives of the Russian or
CARNATIONS. The delegations would
be able to convince themselves of this
thru the exchange of letters.
Pledge Aid to Soviet Unions
The Soviet unions and the Profin-
tern do everything to bring about
unity, the Amsterdam international
the opposite. In conclusion Tomsky
requested the assembled workers to
tell the truth and nothing but the
truth about Soviet Russia and assured
them that the chief efforts Of the
workers of the Soviet Union we're
directed towards the establishment Of
the united front, that is, the estiblish-
ment of a united trade union inter-
national. The chairman of the Ger
man delegation Freiberger, stressed
the readiness of the German workers
to struggle for the establishment of
unity in the trade union movement
and declared that in his opinion the
responsibility for the lack Of success
of the attempts was with Amsterdam.
In the name of the whole delegation
Freiberger promised that the delega-
ton would fulfill it's duties towards
the Soviet Union.
Teachers Visit Lunacharsky
The delegation of foreign teachers
today visited Lunacharsky who in
formed the delegates in detail upon
the educational methods in the Soviet
Union. The Russian teachers, who at
first sabotaged the Soviet power, now
work extremely Loyalty with the latter.
Lunacharsky attached particular
significance to the new youth which
is carrying out a great work Of edu-
cation and enlightenment amongst the
broad masses of the people.
Many teachers were now Commun-
lists and the children of the peasants
and the bourgeois were now taken
into the schools without any condi-
tons. Dufour and Durant in the name
of the French delegation, Waters in
the name of the Belgian delegation,
pointed to the colossal successes OBJ
tanned thanks to the new methods in
the schools of the Soviet Union and
declared that in this respect the
schools in all other countries in the
world were behind the schools of the
Soviet Republics.

ANTHRACITE TIE
UP PARALYzINC
OTHER BUSINESS
10000 Railroad Men to
Be Laid OFF

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept 3.-The
anthracite region today began to feel
the aftermath of the mine suspension
which for twenty-four hours has pad
locked its basic industry and demob-
ilized an army of $4,000 miners.
The business paralysis which the
ten anthracite companies face indie
initely began to creep down the rails
of the roads carrying their coal. Out
bound tonnage is practically cleaned
up and on its way to market. newt
able orders for shutdowns of shops
and layoff Of shopmen, car repairers
and train crews on mine runs have
begun to put in appearance.
10000 Railmen to be Idle.
Predictions that at least 10000 rail-
road men would follow the miners in
to idleness by the end of the week
because of the suspension appeared
justified in reports that Scranton,
Pa, alone would produce half that
many unemployed. The Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western railroad ex-
poets to close down it's Scranton and
Keyser Valley shops on Friday, throw
ing out 1900 men. The Delaware &
Hudson ANNOUNCED prospective lay
off of 1900 trainInen and has pulled
off fifty freight locomotives used on
coal runs in anticipation of pro-
tracted shut down of the mines. The
Lehigh Valley, and other heavy-ton-
mage roads are due with similar an
nouncements soon.
Union leaders of the three districts
are engaged in smoothing out difficult
ties developing in connection with the
work of the 10000 maintenance men
remaining in the mines by agreement
with the operators. Some question is
arising as to what is maintenance

ALL LIQUOR, RAPS
SACRAMENTAL wine

New York. Oct. 27-(AP)-An-
nouncing that his purpose is to wipe
out all traffic in liquor. Rrigadier
General Lincoln c. Andrews, in
charge Of prohibition enforcement,
today asserted that the people and
congress. by permitting the sale for
profit of sacramento wine and med
icinal whiskey, placed upon govern
ment agencies an almost impossible
enforcement task"
His statement was made during an
address at the closing session of the
New York Pharmaceutical confer
ence, after DIR. Jacob Diner. president
of the conference asked him what
stand he would probably take with
regard to a resolution taken at the
meeting calling upon congress to re-
lieve druggists or responsibility for
liquor distribution.
Questioned directly by reporters as
to whether he intends to abolish sac
ramental wines, he answered.: well,
it may come to that. 1t is one Of the
chief sources Of bootlegging. I will
devote special attention to sacrafnen-
tai wines and to the manufacture Of
industrial alcohol"
