A Quick and Certain Remedy.

If the labor takers had one atom Of
manhood or loyalty to the interests
of the miners and the working class
as a whole, they would call strike
IN this country from coast to coast
that would once and for all put an
end to the arrogant persecution Of
labor and the reign of terror against
the miners of North America.
We have right to expect some
things besides treason from our labor
leaders. We have paid them we'll.
No labor leaders in the world are
better paid than those of America.
Yet no labor leaders have betrayed
the interests of the workers more
than they. They completely desert
the class struggle for class collabora-
ton. AS generals of labor's mighty
army, they surrender without strug-
gle. They even attack the courage
GUS progressiveness among the rank
and file troops Of labor's army for
urging fight without their permission
and for pointing out their treachery.
An Appeal to the Working Class.
The Progressive Miners Interna-
tional Committee, leader Of the rank
and file struggle among the coal min
ers, calls upon all workers to rally
to the call for aid from our starving
and prosecuted brothers and their
families of District 26, the Nova
Scotia miners. Between 10000 min
ers Of District rs, with their hungry
and ragged wives and children about
them, and the victory which will bring
food and clothing, stands the lines of
bayonets Of the capitalist state. Capt.
talist law reaches out and seizes their
leaders, ITS of them, dragging them
away from wife and children to the
living death of prison.
Workers! Arise to their need!
Give until it hurts. Give to the min
ers of District rs, the fighting miners
of Nova Scotia! Give that they may
be able to fight on and triumph over
our enemies!
Send all donations direct to the
District rs office. Address all funds
to Alex A. Mckay, Secretary-Treasur-
er, District 26, United Mine Workers
of America, Glace Bay, Nova Scotia,

NSpectai TO inc Oaily WorkoFl
MILWAUKEE,, Wis. June 1s.-At
the last meeting of the Milwaukee
Central Labor Council delegate Gust
ave Sklar, member Of the Workers
(Communist) Party made a speech
protesting against the use Of Amer
lean troops against the workers Of
China. Comrade Sklar declared THAI
the students and workers OF China
have awakened and are lighting world
Imperialism.
He pointed out the necessity OF the
American workers understanding the
fight Of the Chinese against foreign
imperialism, and the need OF soIidar.
ity of the American workers with the
Chinese workers.
Comrade Sklar urged the organized
workers of America to support the
struggle Of the Chinese masses to
throw of the yoke of foreign capital
ism which has been endeavoring to
exploit them.
The executive board reported "pro-
gress" in investigating the resolution
for world trade union unity. They
have come to no conclusion so far, II
was reported. Some Of the delegates
declared that the socialists who do
inmate the council will ask the ma
tional officials of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor what stand to take on
this vital question.
The rest Of the meeting was devoted
to routine matters.

ers the Boot and Shoe will have a
complete victory, and the bosses will
be able to put the wage reductions
into effect knowing that the workers
are tied hand and foot by Baine and
his gang Of labor takers. The Boot
and Shoe is weapon in the hands Of
the shoe manufacturers of Lynn to
force wage cuts on the workers.
The trimph of the Boot and Shoe in
Lynn will be victory for the bosses.
The chamber Of commerce and the
newspapers have won their campaign
for the Boot and Shoe. The miIitants
among the shoe workers gave up the
struggle, and actually advocated the
entry of the workers into the Boot

Operators Expect Trouble.

Prominent members OF the National
Coal Association, meeting at the Edge
water Beach Hotel, expect crisis in
the coal industry next fall, when GER
tain contracts expire. Non-union mines
are producing at full capacity IN Ken
lucky and West Virginia, while the
union mines in Western Pa. Illinois
and Ohio shut down.
A big merger Of 10 coal companies
In Kansas involving a capital OF over

the military arm Of the capitalist
state, while the days news tells us
that ITS of these miners are arrested
on the charge that they violated the
capitalist law when they took food to
feed their starving wives and chill
dren.
Capitalist Law In Action.
Troops have been rushed into the
coal towns to subdue these miners.
Altho self-preservation is the first law
Of nature, the capitalist courts have
issued warrants to imprison these
miners who refuse to stand meek and
passive while their wives and chill
dren starve and white-collared scabs
are working to enforce upon them
still greater privation.
Peaceful picketing, found to be a
failure, gave way to more effective
methods, strengthened the battle line,
but arousing the fury of the Beast Of
Besco and the Canadian capitalist
class as a whole. The forces of the
capitalist state are unleashed to de-
stroy the miners union of Nova
Scotia.
Capitalism Enforees "order."
The starving Of women and chill
dren must go on. So argues the CAPT
talists with the voice of thousands
of prostituted newspapers. To the
capitalists there is no violence" no
disorder" no Crime" in driving 49,
600 miners into the pits at the end
of bayonets. To the capitalists 1t is
Flaw and order" to compel 10000
miners and their families who ask
only their portion of the worlds
wealth for their hard and perilous la
Dor in the pits, to starve and go in
rags. To capitalists it is no crime
for gunner to have shot down Will
fam Davies and wound to death Gil
bert Watson.
What are our Tabor leaders" doing
in this crisis? Nothing of any conse-
quence for these workers. Absolute
ly nothing. The orgy Of violence,
murder, martial law, starvation, lock-
out and wage cuts are crimes of CAPT.
talism. And these are Christlike
compared to the treason of the labor
bureaucracy of the Lewis machine.

this week than last. This increase
is unprecedented and brings about q
condition approaching crisis. The
left wing of the labor party and the
Communists are demanding that the
labor party take advantage Of this
situation. But the right wingers led
by Macdonald and Snowden are
averse to fighting with the capitalists.
They prefer to work with them to any
extent compatible with the careers.
Mrs, Ethel Snowden, socialist wife OF
Philip, is busily engaged advising
housewives to patronize imperial
products and thus help to solidify the

Squandering Riches.
Even the capitalist press is forced
to display stories Of suffering. thru
unemployment, but side by side with
these stories appear accounts of fetes
and festivities Of the British ruling
class, led by the royal family. The
Daily Herald says: while the off,
cial unemployment figures calmly
published by the government reveal
increasing and unparalleled suffering,
society is playing by the thousands at
Ascot and Haunting its unearned
wealth." Perhaps the conservative
editor of the Herald would feel bet
ter If society spent its wealth in
secret. but it makes little difference
to the workers whether the bandits
that rob them spend it in the cellars
or on the house tops.

their answers. These clearly pointed
out that the Boot and Shoe made only
one offer to the stitchers-uncondi-
tional surrender.
Must Flight As Worker
The officials of the stitchers urged
the members not to surrender to the
Boot and Shoe and recalled the strug-
giles OF the past against the Boot and
Shoe which the bosses wished to force
upon them. The appeals of the off,
GERS were emotional, and at times
hysterical No plan Of action was pres
ented to the membership to fight the
Boot and Shoe and the bosses.
The oflcials TALL women) blamed
the men in the other locals for desert
ing the struggle, which is true but
does not leave room for a male and
female struggle as the whole question
is on Of fighting the Boot and Shoe
and the bosses as workers.
MllItants Who Failed In Time Of Need
The two most militant members Of
the committee Harry Ross and Mary
McGee) had splendid opportunity to
present a definite program OF action
to the members, but did not take ad-
vantage of it, Instead they adopted
a hopeless attitude, and told the men,
bers present that they were unable to
fight, and that the Boot and Shoe was
the proper medicine for them.
Naturally, when the militants thus
abdicated all semblance OF leadership
in the struggle there was nothing else
to do but take the question OF joining
the Boot and Shoe to a referendum
vote.
Fighting Leadership Not There
The hysterical opposition OF the
stitchers' officials 10 the Boot and
Shoe, and the absence of any program
or leadership on the part Of the milit-
ants in the local will not prevent the
members voting for the Boot and
Shoe. The workers have been deluged
for months with Boot and Shoe pro-
paganda In the local yellow press.
All the Ills affecting the workers
have been blamed on the Amalga-
mated. They were promised steady
