COOK BLASTS
TALK OF Mine
STRIKE BREAK
Skaters OwnerS' Hope
BY Clear Statement
Especial to The Daily workerl

LONDON, June GA. ]. Cook put
an. end to talk that the deadlock be-
tween the miners and the mine owners
was thought to have been broken
when Evan Williams, the owners
chairman, invited Herbert Smith, the
miners president, to an informal con-
ference. The latter two have become
sort Of friendly enemies thru years Of
negotiations and II is recalled that
Smith gave Williams a very sharp
eross-examination at the time of the
meeting Of the royal coal commission.
But Smith, left for Brussels to at
tend a meeting of the executive Of
the International Miners Federation.
Cook stayed over until today and then
flew to Brussels by plane. Before he
left he re-stated the miners position
as follows:
I'VE shall consider any proposal
that comes from the owners with an
earnest desire to try to reach a settle
ment on the basis of what the miners
have declared to be the only reason
able terms they can entertain"
And so hopes of a strike settlement
have again gone glimmering. The coal
owners have latterly shown a desire
to compromise in the matter of higher
wages. But they hope at the same
time to effect a lengthening Of hours
1t was for this purpose that Williams
invited Smith to meet him. But the
miners executive is as firm in their
demands as the men in the coal fields.
Whatever they do in any case will
have to be sanctioned by a ballot
among the coal diggers themselves.
1t was reported today that the mine
owners are considering a new tactic.
There are rumors that they are going
to dissolve their association to force
the miners to deal with them by dis
tricts. The miners struggle for a
national agreement as opposed to dis
trict agreements has been one of the
central battles of the present fight.
The miners stand solid, however, and
would not be intimidated by such a
move.

This machine made Calvin Coolidge
and it made the present governor of
Massachusetts,; 1t can unmake the
present governor or it can promote
him. What Butler DEGREES, the gov
ernor of Massachusetts, elected on the
republican ticket, does not ordinarily
refuse to do.
With these facts in mind, The Fed
Grated Press has sought an interview
with Senator Butler on the Sacco-
Vanzetti case. 1t has asked him what
the governor is likely to do. since the
court of last resort in Massachusetts
has declined to interfere with the
execution of these two working class
radicals on the charge of murder, of
which they were convicted when pub

Brooklyn Court Quashes

ton issued against the Shoe Workers
Protective Union, under which P.
Pascal Cosgrove, organizer, was fined
$3.50 for contempt of court, and six
pickets were sentences to 10 days in
Jail.
The fine and conviction of the shoe
workers is a result of strike called
in the Weismann Bros. Shoe Co. fac
tory in Brooklyn, five months ago.
1t followed the discharging of all the
male workers in the fitting room. In
spite of the injunction order the union
kept up the fight and maintained a
picket line which resulted in the tenn
porary injunction being issued by
Judge Selah b. Strong. The dismissal
of the suit cancelled the penalties for
contempt against Cosgrove and the six
pickets.

Striking Furriers
Help to Send Daily
Worker to Passaic

NEW YORK. June 6.--The striking
furriers of New York have just given
another splendid example of the spirit
of class solidarity The New York
office of The DAILY WORKER issued
collection lists for the purpose OF
securing contributions with which TO
pay for The DAILY WORKER TO be
sent TO the Passaic textile strikers.
There was no thought of collecting
money from strikers themselves.
But when one of these lists got in
to the hands Of furriers in their strike
meeting in Beethoven Hall every one
present contributed from meager
funds in order that The DAILY
WORKER might spread its message
Of hope among the striking textile
workers of Passaic. The list circulated
by NJ. Spivak, secretary OF Beethoven
Hall, contained $500 when it was
brought in The DAILY WORKER Of
