FIGHT OVER THE
COMMUNISTS IN
LABOR PARTY
Executive Cla s h e s in
With Local Unions

LONDON = (FP) - Relations with
the Communist party will bulk large
at the 25th annual conference of the
British Labor party, which meets in
Liverpool Sept. i2a with c. T. Cramp
in the chair. 0ne-hundred local Labor
parties and aahumber of trade unions
are supporting resolutions to admit
the Communist party. The executive
committee, on the other hand, are
recommending that all Communists
who are Individual members OF the
Labor party be expelled, and that
trade unions be recommended not to
send Communists as delegates to To-
cal or national Labor bodies.
The program Of the conference in
cludes resolutions prepared by the ex-
ecutive committee, dealing with for
eign affairs, inter-dominion relations,
finance, agricultural policy, housing,
municipal powers, national health and
electoral reform. Their moderation
has called forth considerable criticism.
Even the New Leader, official organ
of the I. L. p, says, Labor, indeed,
seems to be putting itself right with
the middle-class voter" and to deplore
that the capital levy sis silently drop
ped" and that there is not one word
about naturalization Of the mines or
the railways. THE executive" it
says, assures us that its policy is
imaginative and fundamental We
doubt if the party will agree with it,"
The Workers Weekly, Communist or
gan, labels the draft resolutions as
"the liberal revival"
Three resolutions against the Com
munists were passed at the last Labor
party conference The first two re-
jected the affliation of the Commun-
list party and declared that no Com
munist should be eligible for endorse.
ment as Labor candidate for parlia-
ment or any local body while the
third, which was passed by a very
narrow majority, declared against the
eligibility of any Communist for mem
bership in the Labor party. The last
resolution has never become effective
as it has been left to the discretion OF
local Labor parties, most OF which
have not expelled the Communists
who belong to them. Nearly all Com
munists are trade unionists, and evon
If they were expelled as individual
members they would still retain mem

NEW York; Further industrial
progress in the Kemerovo district of
Siberia over which the Kusbas Auton-
omous Industrial Colony has jurisdic-
ton is reported by the New York Of
fee Of that enterprise. The mining
program for the new year calls for
41,000,00O pools of coal or about
100000 tons, an increase of so per
cent over the production of the pres
ent year Coal is now produced at
1914 kopeks per pood or $500 per ton.
For the improvement of workers
accommodations and conditions the
sum OF 100000 rubles will be spent
in 1926 of which one million will be
used in developing an American city
at Kemerovo, the center of the enter
prises. The work OF underwriting
the erection Of steel bridge across
the River Tom at Kemerovo and ex-
tensive additions to the chemical plant
for the production OF by-products has
been undertaken by the Sibervkom or
Siberian revolutionary committee,
which has apportioned 100000 gold
rubles as first installment for these
works.

There are plenty of people (all too

Outstanding Of the new order working
out under the Soviet government.
Down the Volga and on the trains
one hears complaints, mostly from the
peasants-high taxes last year and be-
fore (this year reduced 40 per cent?,
incompetent, autocratic officials, etc.
Complaints come usually from relics
Of the old system with the background
OF centuries of ignorance and individ-
ual selfshness. To make proper allow
ance for the wreckage of the czarist
order, the havoc of the civil war, the
capitalist blockade, the famine and the
scarcity of trained workers Is beyond
their powers of imagination. They live
In their own petty circle.
Hearing such a wall from a couple
OF peasants, poorly clad miner spoke
up; Yes, 1t is too bad that progress
is not made more swiftly, but after all
remember that We who have come up
through the old order are to blame.
We are all more or less crooked. 1t
is the new generation, the children,
who will make the new Russia. 1t is
too bad that we old ones cant be lined
up and shot, or herded off to ourselves
where we can quietly die without con-
Eliminating the youth and interfering
with their work."
However, there are humble men and
women gray with years and struggle
who see what is taking place and can,
for this reason, forget something Of
the hardship, Waiting in line to buy
a railway ticket here one day, we
found ourselves in conversation with
a non-Communist old stone mason. He
found that we were from America.
Yes, you have in America many
things which we need here. We envy
you your machinery. your technical
development Many of your workers
are better of. But that is not all to
life. We have enough bread; we have
clothing; there is shelter. But above
all we have freedom" He smote his
breast with gesture more expressive
than words.
Il am past 70 and have known the
oppression Of the czars. That is past
and now we are building. Two or
three good harvests like this year will
work wonders. We have established
the true basis that labor produces ali

resource of natural wealth--coal, oil,
timber, rich soil and land enough for
all This and our hands and the spirit
to build is enough. Give us time and
freedom from outside attack and we
will have all that the most highly de-
veloped land has produced. And 1t
will be ours-the workers. That is
more than the producers of America
can say"

HOW TO GET A JOB AS MINERM
THE LLLINOIS COAL FIELDS, AS
TOLD BY PROGRESSIVE UNIONIST
BY JACK WATT.

TN travelling practically in every dis
= trict in Illinois, the writer has been
informed how some men are able to
secure work in the mines, and proof
shows up the DISQUALIFICATION pol
icy that exists between the miners
officials and the coal operators. Some
Of the ways Of securing a job are
herein stated and show the disinte.
grafton of the miners union, and
brings to naught the fine words OF the
miners officials in the daily press
such as mo backward STEP" mo re.
auctions in wages" mo modification
Of the contract" and f'No losses Of con-
ditions." j, 9n,
No Grey Hairs
The first thing miner does when
he is out of a job is to go to mine
that is working and wait for the SUI
perintendent or mine manager and
ask for job. James Melish of Thay-
er, Illinois, took this procedure to
get Job and applied to the mine
management at Auburn, a. Peabody
mine. The management looked at
Jim out OF the corner OF his eyes and
said, "You have too many grey hairs
in your head to get job here"
OF course, Jim, was done and that
condition is working in nearly every
mine in Illinois and it is commonly
heard, the mines like the railroads,
are refusing to hire men who are
over As years of age.
At Dowell, Illinois, and other plac-
es, the miners and applicants are pre-
sented with an application blank to
fill out in which they must fill in their
name, address, where they worked
last, how old are they, how many chill
dren they have, and are they Ameri-
can citizens. Have you collected COM
pensation under the laws of the state,
have you ever been injured, etc., and
in some corporations like what exists
at the mines Of the Madison Coal
Corporation, and at Benton, where an
employment agency, so-called. exists,
for the Orient Mine, you fill in a
blank enumerating all Of the above
things, but state in addition thereto,
Where did you work last?"
Harrington Approves Blacklist
Then they write back to your for
mer employer and ask him. WAS he
a trouble maker or an agitator?" and
Would you think him to be a desir-
able employee at this timer" Frank
harrington had the CUTS to write to
the miners at Dowell, so they told me,
that he could see no harm in answer
ing and filing out such questionaires.
At Belleville one miner had been
promised work at a certain mine for
months and finally the boss at the
mine had to tell him, "I"cannot hire
you" the man knew why. because he
had always been a progressive miner,
but the boss said further to him, do
you know Walter NesbitY' The min
er said yes. Then the boss said, 60
to Walter Nesbit and get a note from
him and bring it back and you will
get job" This miner was not exactly
on good terms with Walter Nesbit as
Walter is Farrington's secretary, so
could not go to Walter, nor
did he wish to stoop that low TO get
a job, but he did make the above
