George L. Berry, president Of the In

ARTICLE 10.
The capitalist class in all countries
have cleverly created division in the
ranks of the workers by setting up
a favored group that is catered to
more or less at the expense of the
great majority of the wage slaves.
This policy has been carried out by
the British government and other col
onial empires among the subject peo-
pies. In India, Egypt and South Africa,
the first tactical move Of the British
to break the solidarity of the people
whose land and wealth they coveted
was to shower favors upon the ruling
classes and make their new found
loyalty just as profitable for them as
their old independence.
Divide and conquer" has been the
motto Of the oppressor and exploiter
from time immemorial This policy is
followed by the capitalists among the
workers.
Organizing the skilled.
The American Federation Of Labor,
under the leadership of Sam Gompers
and the grand dukes that he trained,
was never very much concerned with
organizing the unskilled workers. II
confined its organizing activity main
ly to the skilled or semi.skilled and
only bothered with the unskilled
when a spontaneous revolt brought
them to the point of organization and
the per capita looked good to the
greedy sharks that dominate the coun-
ellis Of the A. F. OF l..

Committee Prepares for

Especial to The Daily Worker,

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 27.-Ths
sub-scale committee Of the anthracite
miners went into session here today
to make the final arrangements for a
suspension Of work In the hard coal
fields. All hope Of avsrtlna the Issu-
anee Of the strike call for q waIkout

John L. Lewis, president Of the Unit

Washington 6usy.

The administration at Washington,
according to recent word, is convinced
that suspension on Sept. LIST is I'M
avoidable and is laying plans to meet
the situation. Talk about the govern
ment being powerless to interfere with
the conflict when it breaks is shown
to be nothing more than talk by news
of the activity of the interstate COM
merce commission.
The |. c. C. is checking up ON all
SURPRISES and is making arrangements
to give clear right of way to all sub
stitutes for anthracite and bituminous
fuel in case of stoppage.
No Scabs.
One thing in favor of the anthracite
diggers is the small chance Of their
being replaced by scabs. There Is a
Pennsylvania law which provides that
all workers in anthracite must have
at least two years experience. But
even If the law were not enforced, the
fact remains that anthracite cannot
be successfully mined without expert.
enced hard coal diggers and the Penn
sylvania anthracite fields are the only
ones in this country.
Following a propaganda campaign
in New England led by John Hays
Hammond. former head of the United
States coal commission, for the use
Of substitutes for anthracite in break
ing the coming strike, a new story Is
being circulated In an attempt to
brighten the miners and re-assure
users of anthracite. This last cam
paign Of publicity comes from a
spokesman of the Pittsburgh Coal
company, the largest bituminous oper-
ators in the country.

No Wage Increase.

The operators agree to reopen nego-
tiations on the condition that 1T is
distinctly understood that we have not
agreed to abandon our opposition to
the check-off and wage increases, both
of which we believe to be unsound and
unwarranted"
Last minute efforts OF "no-strike"
committee representing the business
men Of the hard coal belt have Snded
in dismal failure. Secret conferences
at the Sterling and Bellevue-Stratford
hotels between the citizens commit
tee, headed by John H. Uhl, and the
belligerents Melted nothing but state
ments by both the miners and the
operators reiterating their former po-
sitions
Strike Order Tomorrow.
The citizens committee had held a
conference with Lewis at Hazelton
yesterday and became panicky when
Lewis left for Philadelphia and am
nounced that he was preparing the
strike order. They followed him to
the Quaker city and again attempted
to bring the miners to reason" hut
with obviously small success. How
ever, Lewis announced that there was
still time for the strike call and that
it would not be issued today.
1t is assumed that the order for the
tieup is prepared and the meeting to-
day OF the sub-scale committee makes
it almost certain that the call will 60
