Condition of semi-colIapse exists in
the bituminous coal industry, accord
ing to the department of commerce,
which made public surveys covering
all the fields Of the country.
A Sorrowfui Tale
The industry is over manned and
over produced, according to the gov
eminent surveyors, and the mild
weather in February further contri-
buted to the decline that is generally
noticeable thru the entire industry.
Remedial measures will be discuss
ed next week at Cleveland where
operators Of the central competitive
field are to meet.
Among the most pessimistic reports
were from the Illinois and Indiana
fields. In the former state mine oper-
alton for February was described as
amounting to a collapse as compared
with January. Demand, output and
price decline with apparently no bet
ter prospects for this month.
Non-Unlon And Union
In the Indiana district operators
complained that coal is being sold in
abundance from non-union fields at
prices which cannot be Appropriated
in the union fields" The non-union
fields were said to be still making
further reductions in an effort to cap
ture the market.
This agrees with the position Of the
coal operators. Now, let us hear from
John L. Lewis.

An eleventh hour campaign to halt

such as the Chicago Tribune and the
Saturday Evening Post, hardly ever
skip an issue. without full measure of
attack against the workers. and peas
ants republic. R'&
The campaign Of the socialist, Ra-
phael Abramovich is well known to
the workers, and is being answered
everywhere as It deserves. Instead
OF creating sentiment against the Rus
sian Communists he is the means of
raising favorable issues in the trade
unions and Jewish fraternal organ
izations and of crystallizing dormant
sympathy into militant action in de-
Tense of Soviet Russia.
Mckenzie Suppresses Facts
A more subtle attack is that of
pseudo liberals who pose as friends
of the Russian revolution and then
proceed, from comfortable pulpits and
rostrums, to tell the Bolsheviks how
a revolution ought to be run. Thus
F. A. Mckenzie, correspondent for
the Chicago Daily News, gives fair"
accounts of Russian political prison
ers, while suppressing the fact that
the International Red Aid has offered
to arrange an exchange of all such
political offenders for working class
leaders held by the capitalist govern
ments of other countries.
In a moment Of unguarded frank
ness Mr.. Mckenzie admitted that the
Cook county jail, famed scene of the
Red raids Of 1919, was much worse
than the Russian prisons, both in
physical and recreational facilities.
Such facts, however, are distasteful
to the Greenwich Village anarchists
whose worship of the forms of bour-
geois democracy makes them view
the safety measures of a proletarian
revolutionary government in the same
light as the atrocities of the fascist
and social-reformist defenders OF cap
italism@
While nominally in favor Of Soviet
Russia their emphasis upon the "un-
fairness" Of imprisoning counter-re-
volutionists gives the most reaction
airy elements in this country a last
flg-leaf excuse for delaying reoogni-
ton and trade. Thus in America also,
the liberal and the progressive give
invaluable service to the old order
while voicing the phraseology of the
new. Anti.revolutionary service from
the liberal pulpit or from the reform
list cabinet is difference only in de-
gree, and not in kind.

SECRETARY'S LETTER

So widespread has become the
revolt Of the rank and file Of the
United Brotherhood Of Carpenters

general administration are being
pressed to the wall. Proof Of this
exists In the circular letter, forced

district councils which have Joined
in the protest at the outrageous ex-
pulsion policy against the members

The Duffy letter tries In great
detail to "expIaIn away" the mex
cusabIe autoeraey Of the Huteheson

about the T. Y. E. L. being a "duaI

BERLIN, March 1s-(Delayed).-
The strike on the German railways
became more widespread today
when the Dawes plan management
tried TO force the clerical workers
to seab on the freight handlers.
At once these clerical workers
walked out on strike, and the shop
committee movement led by Com
munists succeeded, in spite of the
efforts Of the yellow social demo-
cratic union officials to prevent the
walkout, to tie up all departments
in the Berlin freight houses.
