PENNA. MINERS
REPUDIATE THE
LEWIS POLICY
Strike in Defiance of
Slavery Pact
ny A Worker CORRESPONDENT

WILKES BARRE, Pa, Nov. 9.-The
miners here are beginning to take
their affairs into their own hands.
The fve-year contract signed by the
Lewis machine, deprives the miners of
the right to strike for the period of
five years. The bosses took advan-
tage OF this contract and did every
thing possible to exploit the miners
and discharge those that did not obey
their orders. But soon the bosses
found out that altho Lewis might sign
contract not to strike for five years,
the miners are going to strike.
Miners Discharged.
The miners of the Peach Orchard
Colliery of Glen Alden Coal Co. of
Parsons, Pa, went on strike when
four miners were unjustly discharged.
Capellini did everything to force the
miners to go back to work The min
ers went, under protest, and served
notice that if the discharged men
would not get their jobs, the miners
would go on strike again. This did
the trick. The discharged miners were
taken back to work, with pay for the
days they lost because of being dis
charged. The bosses learned that it
does not pay to discharge men. The
miners learned that solidarity is the
secret of their success and found out
that the strike is a mighty power,
which the officials of the union have
sold out to the operators for five
years.
The miners IN Peach Orchard are
not the only ones that are lighting.
At present the miners of Randolf Col
liery of South Penn Colliery Coal Co.,
in Port Carbon, near Pottsville, Pa,
are also on strike. One of the men
was discharged because he refused to
work after quitting time. The next
day the miners did not work but gath
cred in the hall and decided not to go
to work until the discharged brother
go this job back.
Bosses Man Was Fined.
At this meeting, one of the men,
who was under the influence of the
bosses, made a motion to go back to
work and lay the matter of the dis
charged man aside, to go to the griev-
ance committee which would settle
with the bosses. No one seconded
the motion. However, the motion was
made to fine the man who made the
previous motion $500. He was fined
s25 only on account of his family.
The miners of the Randolph Col
liery are under the leadership of
Thomas Powell, the well-known mill
tant leader, and the bosses, thru saloon
keepers and other agencies, are
spreading news to discredit him. The
BASES call Howell Bolsheyik, Com
munist, a Red. But the miners do not
listen to them because they know that
Howell is one of them and fighting
with them, and if he is a RED" so
much the better.

WORKERS EAGER
TO OBTAIN AUTO
SHOP BULLETINS
Ford and Dodge Worker
Sold Rapidly
(Ry Worker correspondent)

DETROIT, Nov. 9.-The Ford shop
nucleus Of the Workers (Communist)
Party has just issued No. of the
Ford Worker, which deals with the
problems of the workers employed by
the Ford plant in Detroit. The or
ganizer in Detroit reports that an edi-
ton of 10000 copies of the Ford
Worker was printed and that 5000 of
these were sold at cent each during
the first three days after the paper
was issued.
Deals with 4o-Hour Week.
The leading article in the Ford
Worker deals with the new 40-hour
week and Ford's declaration that the
wages of the workers would only be
raised on merit; that is, only those
who would show greater productivity
would receive the same pay for the 40
hour week as heretofore.
In addition to many items dealing
with the Ford plant, the Ford Worker
contains an announcement of the cele-
bration of the ninth anniversary of the
Russian revolution and a call to the
foreign workers to support the Work
ers (Communist) Party ticket in the
election campaign.
Dodge Worker Out.
At the same time the Dodge Work
ers (Communist) Party shop nucleus
issued No. of the Dodge Worker, of
which 1900 were printed and 1000
sold at / cent each during the first
two days Of distribution.
The bulletins Of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party nuclei in the Dodge
and Ford plants are winning broad
influence among the workers in these
plants by dealing with the concrete
problems of the industry. At the
same time they translate these prob
lens into propaganda in relation to
the broader struggles of the workers,
by relating them to the political and
industrial campaigns.

The unequivocal statement is

that the quarrel which ended so fat
ally occurred after the two men and
Mrs. Smith had supped together at

with the early days of Canadian de-
velopment, while he himself had

was bequeathed to him through a
trust, which eventually came to him.

bridge he joined the regular army. He
soon resigned his commission ana
toured the world, spending much time
IN the South Sea Islands. He fought
