MINERS AROUND
S TEEL MILLS
Fayette Miner Discovers
Something
BY YEAGER
Worker correspnodent)

PITTSBURGH, Pa.-The Carnegie
steel mills at Clarion, Pa, offers 44c
an hour, 10 hours day for skilled
men, while others, having received a
higher rate, are being laid off. A
miner, formerly working in the Fay
cite County district near Uniontown,
after many futile efforts trying to get
into some mill, finally succeeded in
getting Job at the Clarion plant
Before getting this job he looked for
work in other steel mills in Ohio in
other places. When asked what his
previous work was he was very thuth-
full, stated that he had been miner.
After the company had gotten this in
formation he was gently pushed aside
and told there were no jobs open.
After several such failures he de-
cided to try another method to get a
job. When he came to the Clarion
and was asked what he had worked
at before he told them he had been a
helper in a boiler shop. 1t worked,
and he was given job at the rate of
44c for 10 hours.
Why was he turned down before for
simply stating that he had been a
miner? The Carnegie Steel company
desires no former miners working for
them as they have practically all more
or less participated in union activities.
The Carnegie Steel company wants no
talk Of organization going on in its
mills, hence the precaution when it
comes to hiring former miners.
IT'S Nice country-For MlllionaIres.
No wonder Carnegie could make his
millions and be a philanthropist, do
mating Libraries, while the men toll
for miserable wages, scarcely enuf
to live on.
The miner who just secured the Job
in the Charlton mill had formerly
worked in Fayette County coke fields.
During the strike of 1929 he was
evicted with many others. He was
compelled to move into one of the
barracks In which eight families with
30 children lived in six rooms. Under
these conditions his wife gave birth
to a child and he went in debt 81, 100
but kept on fighting to the last.

PITTSBURGH, Pa.-Rev. Charles P.
Irwin. pastor of the Wilmerding Pres.
byterian church and group Of "citi-
zens" from the ku klux khan control
led town Of East McKeesport, Pa,
has presented state cossack Teofl
Cavalesli with a silver loving cup for
numbering Michael KraynilS, a mach
inst who was employed at the West
inghouse Airbrake company.
Cold Blooded Murder.
On Feb. % a gang of cossacks en-
tered confectionery store in charge
Of Krayniks wife, and without show
ing a warrant began ransacking the
place in search of liquor. Kraynik
demanded that the cossacks leave hts
place as they had no lawful right in
searching the store. During the
argument which followed the cossack
shot Kyraynik thru the head and he
died instantly.
The dead workers wife, son and
customer, who were in the store at
the time, claim that there was no
liquor found in the place and that the
cossacks worked the old and often
used trick of planting one pop bottle
of moonshine which was presented as
evidence.
The trick was so raw that the steel
trust police of Allegheny County were
forced to arrest the cossack on the
charge of murder, and he is at lib
erty after putting up $500 bail until
his trial comes up.
Belly Crawling Minister Of God
Rev. Irwin, in his presentation
speech at the state cossacks' barracks
at Greensburg, stated that the cos
sack was doing his duty when he shot
the Westinghouse worker and COM
mended him for his fearless" action.

the Westinghouse plant, in comment
ing on the preachers action said, ut
is simply another case of a sky pilot

Pearse-C Connolly Club has been form
ed in San Francisco with headquar-
ters at 225 Valencia street. OF this
club, Timothy Mccarthy is permanent
chairman, and Brother Fitzgerald is
organizer. The purpose Of the organi-
zation is the education Of its mem
bership in working class philosophy,
and the assisting of the sufferers of
the present Irish famine. To accom-
plish the latter purpose, the club will
work in close conjunction with the
International Workers Aid. The club
is arranging to hold benefit dance
and entertainment early in June, and
will endeavor in the future to hold
monthly or bi-monthly dances as long
as the famine crisis lasts.
The club meets every Wednesday
evening at 225 Valencia, and people of
Irish birth or extraction who are in
terested, are urged to communicate
with the organizer, Brother Fitzgerald
at 225 Valencia, San Francisco.
At the last meeting of the Pearse-
Connolly Club, held in San Francisco
on Wednesday evening, May goth, the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved: That the Pearse-Connolly
Club, in conjunction with the San
Francisco branch of the international
Workers Aid, condemn the attack
made on the latter organization by the
writer of an anonymous letter which
was published in the April 25th issue
Of the Irish World, and suggests that
the Irish World should not lend its
columns in the future for the abusing
of organizations and individuals en-
gagged in humanitarian work.

More Racial MInorltIes powned.

WASHINGTON, Nay 25.-Under the
new regime in the bureau Of immigra-
ton, the $4,000 Hawaiian-born Japan
ese who are citizens in Hawaii will
not be admitted TO the continental
United States as Americans. Nor will
any encouragement be given, from the
bureau, to the aspirations Of Porto
Rico for statehood. The reason be-
hind this attitude is the so-called fear
of inferior racial strains and cheaper
labor" backed by the knowledge that
the Pacific and southern states have
much power In congress while Hawaii
and Porto Rico have none.

WORKERFIR BY
ID. & {. PLAN" FOR
BEING UNIONIST
III ere s. Something to
Tell Your Buddy
BY STEPHEN,
Worker correspondent)


PITTSBURGH, PA former local
officer of the machinists in the Glen
wood shops of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad has been fired for opposing
'B. and o. Billi cooperative plan. Of
course that isnnpt the reason given
by the company,or their committee,
but neverthelesstit is so.
While working in the Glenwood
shops Harry Smith was taken off his
job because henwiped his hands on
the heavy grease before the whistle
blew, custom existing in all the rail
road shops of the country. He turned
his case over to the cooperative COM
mittee.
Some Tall DodnInp
According to the plan" grievances
must be taken up within 15 days, but
the committee did not present it un-
til after six weeks had passed. In
place of fighting to have Smith put
back on the job the committee acted
true to its name and co-operated with
the company, giving it the right to
fire Smith, using as the excuse that
the time limit to take up grievances
had passed.
Smith during the time he worked
in the Glenwood shops served or
many committees. The last office he
held was secretary Of the machinists
local and owing to his opposition to
the B. and o. plan, although he was
not very active or aggressive, he was
defeated in three cornered election
by a dyed in the wool conservative
and a supporter Of Johnston and his
plan, and who at one time had to be
removed from the shop committee for
the manner in which he handled the
grievances.
A Job Against UnIonism
The defeat of Smith became an
opening wedge after which it was
easier for the company to get rid of
him which they did at the opportune
time. This terrorizing of the workers
who are opposed to the plan is the
reason they are afraid here to openly
oppose it and which is reducing the
one time militant shop crafts organ
ization to nothing more than com
pany union.

HIGH FRENCH BUS FARES
FILL UP SECOND CLASSES
Passengers Protest by Deserving
First-Class Compartments for
Cheaper Accommodations.
3y the Associated Press

by the Associated Press.
PARIS. August 22.-The progressive
increases in street car and autobus
fares in Paris seem finally to have
reached the straining point. The
French have talked u good deal in
recent years of prices and taxes hit
ting the ceiling and then bounding
back again by the force OF economic
laws. Now they are wondering
whether they have proof Of that
theory. For, as a result OF the in
crease of first-class fares in auto
huSseS, passengers are now fiocking
into the second class at lower fare.
The tirst-class fare has increased 10
] franc for d continuous ride from
compartment of the buSSeS. and there
city. The same ride second class
costs so Centimes. Passengers are
now fighting for places in second-class
compartments of the buses, and there
is a question whether the total reye-
nueS of the company will not be de-
creased rather than increased because
so few persons are riding at the higher
first-clasS fare.
There is Il rule. however, that all
passengers must pay first-class fares
on Sunday, whether they are in first
or second class compartments. The
people generally disapproye this regu-
lation. Numerous SCuffies and one
serious fight have resulted from its
enforcement.
