BELLA|RE and
YORKVILLE, O.,
MINERS MEET
Discuss Biturninous Aid
to Anthracite

BELLAIRE, O.-The attitude of
the bituminous miners to the anthra-
cite strike will be decisive if the pres
ent situation continues. The anthra-
cite miners are fighting their fight
alone, without the aid of any other or
ganized workers. The bituminous
miners are working in great part full
time; new mines are opening. The
soft coal miners are beginning to
feed their families properly.
But how long will this last? If the
anthracite strike is broken, the soft
coal miners will be the next. Then
the open shop campaign will begin all
along the line.
What are the bituminous miners 60
ing to do? Are they going to support
the anthracite miners now, or wait
till they themselves are attacked?
This is the question that will be
taken up at the mass meeting in Bel
laire, on Sunday, Oct. Is, p. M, al
Bohemian Hall, 41st ST. and Harrison
St., and on Monday, Oct. 10, p. M,
at Yorkville at Miners Hall.
Comrade I. Amter, district secre-
tary Of the Workers Communist
Party, District 6, will speak at both
meetings. All miners should be
present and help to decide this burn
ing issue.

COOLIDGE TAX
PROGRAM AGAIN
is THREATENED
Faces Revolt of Middle
West Section
Especial to The Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15--A real
fight erystaIIized today over the Coo
lidge-MelIon plan Of reducing federal
taxes in the forthcoming session Of
congress.
With the actual work of framing the
new revenue measure only ten days
away, there is developing an align
ment of southern democrats and west
ern republicans that threaten material
modification of what President Coo
lidge and Secretary Mellon believe
should go into it. This same COM
bination accomplished the defeat Of
the original "MeIIon plan" two years
ago.
The four chief points of the admin
istration's tax program are:
l. Reductions that, while affording
relief. will not interfere with the
treasury program of writing off the
war debt in rs years.
Abolish Income Tax.
2. Total abolition Of the federal in
heritance tax.
8. Reduction of surtaxes on big in
comes from 40 per cent to 20 per
cent.
A. A less pronounced reduction of
the normal rate on small incomes.
Democrat Program.
Against these proposals, the demo-
Gratis will set up their own program,
generally as follows:
1. Extension of the time for writ
ing off the war debt from rs years to
81 years-the period over which all of
the foreign debtors are discharging
their obligations to the treasury.
2. Maintenance of the federal in
heritance tax, altho at reduced rates.
i 3. Reduction of the surtax on big
incomes from 40 per cent to rs per
cent.
4. Raise the exemption on the Tit
tie fellows" to $4,000 for single men,
and $4,000 for married men.
This program, in the opinion of Rep
John N. Garner, democrat, of Texas,
the ranking minority member of the
ways and means committee, would af,
ford the widespread relief intended
and at the same time give the little
fellows Justice"
Should the democratic program be
followed. it would result in a tax cut
this year of about double the
$3.50, 100000 which Secretary Mellon
has set. This, however, would be
taken care Of by alteration of the
treasury program to paying off the
war debt in 81 years instead Of 20.

Panaman People Betrayed
The Panaman people had nothing
to say in the process by which they
suddenly found themselves part of
colonial possession. The whole mat

handful of bootlicking politicians and
renegade officers. No native admins
tration in the country has ever been
the true representative of the people
of Panama. The presidents have all
been miserable -hand-picked lackeys of
Wall Street, working in the shadow of
U. S. guns always at hand in the
Canal Zone. Rodolfo CHAR, the trail
tor who eo-opersted with General Las
sitter in bringing about the present
strike-breaking invasion, is a typical
example.

against collaboration between the
bosses and the union officials to re-

But the thing that worried Furuseth
was that the Communists, as he de-
clared, not only planned to use the
seamen to sabotage international
commerce when desired, but as car
riers of red propaganda that could
not go thru the mails. He laid this
before the delegates as if he were

SECRET REPORT
P ROVES BRITISH
.SEAMEN betrayed
Havelock Wilson Made
Wage Cut Offer
Especial to The Daily Worker)

Especial to The Daily Worker)
LONDON, Oct. 15.--National Or
ganizer Shinwell of the Amalgamated
Marine Workers Union, has made
public the verbatim report of the
proceedings of the National Maritime
Board on July 3, when the British
seamen had their wages reduced SIS
a month.
The verbatim report, which had
come into Shinwells hands by I'M
revealed means, justifies every word
of the charges made against Have
lock Wilson and the officers of the
National Sailors and Firemen's Union.
When Wage Was Cut.
Mr.. Shinwell added that the charges
made by his union were:
/. OF having accepted a reduction
of wages without consulting the mem
bers Of the union;
2. OF betraying the trade union
movement at a time when there was
a prospect of an industrial upheaval
in this country
The report showed, said Mr.. Shin
well, that when the Maritime Board
met on July 3 no specific demand had
been made by the employers and that
Mr. Wilson offered the reduction of
Ell a month.
The chairman (Sir f. Shadforth
Watts) had opened by saying that the
business Of the melting was to discuss
the present position of the shipping
trade.
He went on to preset gloomy
picture, adding:
you understand, of course, that
we have our orders =. to get a re-
duction-as substantial a reduction
as we can get, but I do not think
any useful purpose would be served
by starting to make a demand. :"
Mr.. Havelock Wilson replied with
announcement, said Mr.. Shinwell
with a view to helping this board
along, we convened special meeting
of our delegates last Sunday at very
short notice.
Nov we come this morning and
we are going to say to you: Last
year you were good enough to give
us an advance of Ell a month.
We will give up that Ell at once
without any argument, without any
alarming statements about what is
going to happen, and so on"
Commenting on this Mr.. Shinwell
(who declared that the Sunday meet
ing referred to was. meeting of
union oficials) said it showed clearly
that the reduction was proposed by
Mr.. Wilson and agreed upon without
any consultation with the members
Of the union.
danger Men,"
Turning to his second point-betray-
ing the trade union, movement-Mr.
Shinwell drew attention to the fact
that Mr.. Wilson had gone on to COM
plain that men who were not in his
union were being employed on liners.
Mr.. Shinwell descibed that as a
grave statement for trade union
leader to make, particularly at a
time of crisis such as existed in July.
He added that many of the so-called
danger men," although out of Mr.
Wilson's union, were members of
other unions.
Mr.. Shinwell added that the pro-
ceedings of the Maritime Board also
confirmed the statement of the Marine
Workers Union that, if the ship
owners had case. it had never been
heard.

There has been grape juice as long
as there has been grapes, but the
product of the early days was quite
different from that recommended by
the temperance orators OF the present
day.
The grape juice industry is a com
paratively young industry, the COM
mercial manufacture dating from the
discovery of modern and practical
methods of sterilization, and it is n
vastly different proposition than is
its preparation in the home kitchen.
Because of its food value and health
giving qualities, grape juice has been
recognized for ages. The minerals con-
tanned in grape juice purify and en-
rich the blood. When we realize its
wonderful medicinal qualities in adj
dition to its food value, we shall con-
slider it not merely as an invigorating
beverage but will agree with Ebert
Hubbard who said: There are more
Joyous ways to keep well than by
taking mcdicines-take grape juice
instead"

Soften the gelatine in the cold grape
juice and dissolve in the hot grape
juice. Add the sugar and lemon juice
and let mixture become cold. Beat
the egg white dry and gradually beat
the grape mixture into it. Continue

HAM BAKED
Select a whole ham or a shoulder.
Place in cold water and simmer until
partially tender. Do not cook as long
as for boiled ham as the finishing in
the oven must be given some time.
For added flavor drop two or three
pieces of stick cinnamon, half dozen
cloves, one-half dozen peppercorns and
piece of bay leaf into the kettle
while the ham is simmering. Let
ham cool slightly in the water then
drain and trim, removing the skin.
Place in baking pan, insert cloves
in rows over fat side and sprinkle
brown sugar thickly over it. For
ten-pound ham pour two cups of grape
juice diluted with one cup water into
the roasting pan. Bake in slow oven
for two hours, basting frequently. The
ham should absorb nearly all the grape
juice with the exception of a small
quantity which, with the fat that
gathers in the pan may be used in
making the gravy. For piquancy add
a tablespoon of vinegar to the gravy
as it cooks.
