losing their revenues and income due
TO this strike. 4N
The following is taken from the
Wilkes-Barre Times-Leader of Tues
day, November 3, 1925, bemoaning
the fact they are losing out also due
to the strike.
This most acute situation will
probably be remedled, but II serves
to prove the seriousness OF the
shortage here. Both Mercy and
WiIkes-Barre General Hospitals are
feeling the pinch Of the strike thru
a eurtalIment Of their revenues re-
celved In compensation for mine ac-
cldent cases. In the case OF the
latter institution, Il was officially
stated that the loss Of General Hos
pital Is about $500 month, and
with Mercy Hospital the loss is said
TO be more than $1,000"
The above spasm concretely demon
strates how little is the life of a hui
man being worth in the anthracite
mining region. It Is apparent they
do not care or wish the workers well
but regard the strike from an eco
nomic standpoint ALSO, that while Il
lasts their revenussr are curtailed.

full and free discussion of political
issues which is a fundamental of de-
mocracy. From the legal point of
view, it is a case where man has
received, during the period of un-
usual popular excitement following
the close of the war, too severe a
sentence for crime involving no
moral turpitude. One of the prevail
ing opinions in the court of appeal
stated that the judge of that court
recognized that the sentence may
have been too heavy for the offense.
He has already served over two years
in prison. and
WHEREAS, the Gitlow case is
but the last survival of this same
conviction from which all of the other
defendants were pardoned, the pardon
not being applied to Benjamin Gitlow
because his case was at the time
being made a test for appeal to the
supreme court, and
WHEREAS, he has already served
a longer term than any of those con-
victed with him, therefore be it
RESOLVED, that we protest
against and condemn the action of the
United States supreme court; demand
the repeal of the criminal anarchy
law and will work to that end; record
ourselves as in support Of the Inter
national Labor Defense m fighting
this case and call upon all labor
bodies and working class organiza-
lions of any sort to take the same
stand. Be it further
RESOLVED. that we petition the
governor of the state OF New York TO
Immediately free the defendant, and
be 1t further
RESOLVED, that copies Of this
resolution be sent to the governor of
the state of New York and to the
labor press.

to the present time their theory has

Went Up-Not Down.
Since 1916, anthracite production has
been on the increase. The mines have
produced more steadily in the last
nine years than in any other nine
years prior to that in the last one hnu-
bred years-since anthracite opera
tions were started.
The hard Coal operators are spend
ing a large publicity fund to get across
their Substitutes" propaganda, and
it will be interesting to the miners
to know that other large sums are
used by the same hard coal operators
when no strike is onto show the
workers and public, that these no dan
ger to the industry from the use of
substitutes. One may take his choice,
apparently.
Prominent among leaflets and peri
odicals issued by the hard coal operat
ors to prove that no danger besets the
anthracite fuel is the following-"An
thracite fuel holds its own, Expert
ence proves coal cheapest fuel" "All
tests prove coal cheaper than oil"
George Otis Smith, director of
the United States geological survey
said, "coal will be the main source
Of power as long as the nation lives"
r.1..... t..,,-.,, -. No1ar,haro
In the January, 1925 issue Of the
Burning Question, a leafiet that was
distributed by the hard coal operators
conference, is the following statement
During the past year millions of dol
lars have been spent in the effort tc
establish substitute fuels, for heating
/ the homes of the country, but all this
effort has had no appreciate effect in
the anthracite industry, for the con
sumption of anthracite fuel shows nc
falling Off"
| In another statement we find the
following: "That in all the advertise
ments of the use Of fuel oil thruout
the country, the Standard Oil com
pany has never turned its refneries OF
machine companies to the use of oil
but continues to burn coal. Why? Be
cause coal is the cheapest fuel the
Standard Oil company can burn. They
don't burn oil They sell it to the
people who believe it is better thar
anthracite fuel"
Operators "Information."
Bulletins issued by the hard coal op
orators thru their bureau operators

tently listed changes, made back to an
thracite by concerns that have trieC
fuel substitutes and found them toe
costly.

CAPPELLINI IN
ATTEMPT 7 0
EXPEL REDS
Local Union Refuses to
Gust Valentine
tspeeIaI to rhe paIIy workerl

NANTIcokE, Pa, Nov. 11.-After
postponins definite action on the de-
mand Of RinaIdo cappelIinl, bureau
cratic official Of the anthracite miners,
that they Immediately expeI from the
United Mine Workers, August Valen-
tine, "alIeeed red" Local Union 1913,
Nanticoke, Pa, refused to take action
other than definitely stating If Valen-
tine was to be expelled, Cappellini
must appear before the local union
and prefer his own charges and pro-
seeute the case himself on behalf Of
the district executive board.
This was the fourth meeting. the
subject was under elaboration since
Valentine was arrested late in Sep
tember when the Scranton police and
department of justice dicks broke up
a progressive miners mass meeting
in West Scranton. The reactionary
miners officials Immediately clamor-
ed for his expulsion and by unanim-
Gus decision of the district board,
Local 1913 was instructed to remove
him from membership.
Organizers Fail to Disorganlze
At this particular meeting there ap-
peared for the district board two or
ganizers, faithful henchmen of Cap
pellini, who demanded the local i'm
mediately sentence Valentine as he
was already expelled by the district
board. This, in view of the fact the
constitution is quite specific relative
to charges being preferred against
members first in their own local I'M
ion with the privilege Of either pro-
secutor or defendant appealing to
the higher units for redress.
Organizers Sweeney and Shifcok
could not quite convince the local
membership they should expel Valen-
tine, particularly after Valentine
spoke in his own defense quite ex-
tensively, and quite conclusively
proved the officials fiagrantly violated
the constitution they claim is so
sacred and undefled.
Will Come Up Again
The case will come up for final
disposition at the next meeting. Pro
gressive forces are organizing to pre-
vent the takers from expelling Valen-
tine and at this writing it is quite
possible there will be hot time in
the old town that night"
Local 1888, Plains, as yet has re-
fused to expel Pat Toohey after the
district board demanded same.

IONS" Mr.. A. B. Swales, the presi-
dent of the congress, in his address,
emphasized this point in the following
emphatic way: when economic con-
ditions forced the unions to assume
a defensive attitude, the employers
did not hesitate to take advantage of
their stronger position, and they are
still plotting and planning to under
mine trade union standards. But there
is limit to the concessions the I'M
ions can be forced to make. Union
policy henceforth will be to recover
lost ground, to re-establish and i'm.
prove our standards of wages, hours
and working conditions, and to CO
ordinate and intensity trade union
action for the winning of a larger
measure of control in industry for the
workers. And this policy renders ne,
cessary a greater degree of trade
union unity"
Union Conference Sunday
Purcell is at present touring thru
out the United States and is being
enthusiastically received in every city
where meetings have been arranged
1t is very evident from the reception
being given to Purcell that the masses
of the toilers are behind him in his
mission for promoting world trade
union unity. The trade union commit
tee for organizing the Purcell meeting
has arranged for it's final conference
before the big mass meetings. This
conference to which number of add
tional unions are sending delegates
will be held on Sunday, November
18th, at D. m. at Beethoven Hall.

NO EXCITEMENT
ON ARMISTICE
DAY IN CAPITAL
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. IL
There was no special observance Of
armistice day in the national capitol
today. Everything went on as usual
and the unknown soldier who, four
years ago today, was buried at Ar
lington in the Virginia hills, amidst
great pomp with the stricken expires
ident, Wilson, in attendance and the
late Harding officiating, was practic-
ally forgotten.
The unknown soldier, like others, in
all entente nations, is supposed to
symbolic the unknown war dead so
that all the war widows and war
mothers can derive vicarious salts
faction from the thot that he might
be their dead, and to perpetuate the
notion that there is something heroic
about being slaughtered in an imper-
ialist war.
Drab commemoration.
When Coolidge motored to Airing
ton to place the customary wreath on
the tomb of the unknown soldier, he
was accompanied only by the secre-
taries of war and navy and his wife,
who placed a cross on the tomb. OF
course, there were movie photograph
ers to take pictures so the yokels in
the village movies could see the re-
plica of the performance.

FIGHT over TAX
PLAN WILL RISE
in NEXT CONGRESS
Attempts to Reach Com
promise Fail
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov. lin
spite of the looping of Of $500, 900
from the Mellon-C Coolidge tax propos-
ais a fight on the floor of the house
when congress convenes is unavoid-
able. Powerful leaders of the repub-
lican group in opposition to the Mel
Ion plan win unite witnthe democrats
to further reduce the revenue from
taxes another IS or 100 million.
The democratic party is a unit
against the proposals Gof the president
and secretary of the treasury, not be-
cause they represent the small taxpay-
ers, but because they want an issue
that can be used as base of opera
tions against Coolidge. The republi-
can opposition represents very definite
economic groupings among the small
industrialists of the middle and far
west who resent the heavy income
axes imposed upon them.
This will be the first fight in the
coming congress and call elements
claim it will be settled by Christmas
in order to be effective in the 1925
tax.
Enough Remains.
Representative Madden Of Illinois,
chairman Of the powerful appropria-
t ons committee, states that the house
could raise the cut to 35O,0OO,OO0, or
even higher and still not unduly dis
turb the treasury.
The watch-dogs OF capitalism are
careful not to cut too much revenue
off the tax bills else it might endanger
the maintenance of a sufficiently pow
erful oppressive government to keep
the workers in subsection and defend
abroad the interests of the imperialist
masters of the country.
No matter which group they repre-
sent in congress, they are united in
one questionable workers must be
held in slavery to the capitalists.

Earl KIinck, one of the trio of ku

Prisoners Prove Lie.
The three pisoners, Peter Major,

and that Klinck was not with them
at all. officials at the prison testified
to the same effect.
