NOVA SCOTIA
Miners PULL
OUT PUMPMEN
In Finish Fight Uith
Brutal BeScO

SYDNEY, Nova Scotia.--Desperate
and determined to end the unlimited
oppression Of the British Empire Steel
corporation (5esco), which has prac-
ticslly locked out the miners of Dis
trict 26, the Nova Scotia miners flung
down the gauntlet Of a one hundred
per cent strike last Friday night,
which means that the maintenance
and pump men, always allowed during
ordinary strikes to remain and keep
the mine from flooding and in shape
fer work, are also called out.
Maintenance men abandoned the
pumps and took away all tools and
draft animals. This has forced the
company officials to try their hand at
manning the pumps in an effort to
prevent flooding and permanent de-
struction of the mines.
This being but a futile effort, the
corporation let it be known that it will
permit some of the mines to be de-
stroyed, rather than allow the miners
TO win the strike.
The walkout was made in perfect
discipline. Union leaders, acting as if
they were empowered by law, resolute-
ly closed down all blind pigs"
The strike arose over the refusal Of
the miners to accept a wage cut agree
ment, which refusal was followed by
practical lockout in several colleries,
combined with a stoppage of credit
at the company stores, all in an effort
to bring the miners to the properly
humble frame Of mind to force them
to agree to the wage cut agreement
rather than see their wives and fam.
lies starving.

LEADERS AGAIN
BETRAY WHITE
GOODS WORKERS
A c c opt S Per Cent
Instead of 20

NEW YORK CITY.-After an agree
ment to increase the wages of the
white goods workers in independent
shops 10 per cent, the leaders of the
union went into secret conference
with the bosses, and at a mass meet
ing yesterday to which only a part Of
the workers in the trade were invit-
ed, struggled thru an agreement, with
only five pre- cent increase, abrogat-
ing the one recently made and which
the members had considered final.
The original demand was 20 per
cent, but the leaders never held out
for that, but Immediately lined up
some of the independent shops at the
10 per cent compromise, and later set
tide with the association bosses at
five per cent INCREASE. This will drag
the independent shops down to the
five per cent rate also.
AS the situation now stands, piece
workers get only five per cent on
piece work, the weekly wage is in
creased by 81 per week and cutters
get SO week increase.
Great indignation is shown by the
workers in the white goods industry
and the matter will be taken up for
further settlement.

HILADELPHIA
WATERS WON TO
DEFENSE
T.U.E.L. Members Show
Meaning of Cases

PHILADELPHIA. - After a lively
discussion, Walters Alliance, Local
279, endorsed the resolution protest
ing the conviction and sentencing of
c. E. Ruthenberg to prison under the
Michigan criminal syndicalist law.
Their delegates to the Central Labor
Union were instructed to pass the
same resolution at the next meeting
of the G. l.. U.
The resolution was introduced by
members of the Trade Union Educa-
tional League, and efforts were imme-
diately made to table the question
on the grouds that VIM. 2. Foster was
involved in the Michigan cases and
that Foster was Communist.
Several members of the union who
have known Foster during the great
teel strike pointed out that the great
industrial corporations were anxious
10 railroad Foster because he, for the
first time, had successfully organized
he steel workers for the historic
strike, and because his record as a
militant and aggressive labor leader
stand today as menace to the open
shop interests of this country.
After the members of the T. U. E..
L. further pointed out that all the
other defendants in the Michigan
cases have record of militant activ-
ity and accomplishments in the labor
movement, and therefore should be
supported, there was not single vote
against the resolution.

CHRISTOPHER, I'LL.
MINE CLOSES DOWN;
500 MORE JOBLESS

CHRISTOPHER, III. THE East
Mine at this city closed down indef-
initeIy on March. z. The company
just posted a notice to this effect,
instruetlng the men to remove their
tools and Globes and clean up their
coal. This throws 500 men out of
work.
This mine was idle seven months
last summer, and the mine opened
up against the latter part of Sep
TENDER. Since that time the men
have been working two and three
days per week. These workers are
in very hard circumstances, still in
debt to the storekeepers from the
last shutdown. The storekeepers
now refuse to carry them any fur
ther, so their outlook is black, in
deed.
The Lewis-Farrington policy Of
squeezing the surplus miners out Of
the mines is succeeding we'll, and
little more Of it will completely dis
illusion the miners who still have
any hopes of relief from such a
source.
To mention Lewis or harrington
In this district today is to create
laugh. Confidence in them ls gone,
nothing but contempt and scorn re-
main. They are looked upon OPP
orators laekeys instead Of labor
leaders.
