British Unions Find
Government No Friend
of Miners After All

LONDON, Aug. 3.-In a review Of
the coal strike situation the British
correspondent of the International
Federation OF Trade Unions points out
that the passage Of the so-called eight
hour law, designed to break the min
ers' federation, has stripped the tory
government of any last vestiges Of
prestige with the people.
1.-THE result" he says, lis that hence
forward 1t can no longer play the part
of mediator, and the general situation
becomes correspondingly worse. The
cabinet will in the future, even more
than in the past, have to carry on its
baneful activities stealthily behind the
scenes"
He predicts that altho for the mo-
ment the April wage rates are being
offered to most of the miners, yet
soon a general wage cut will be or
dered unless the uneconomic mines
are closed. He charges that the gov
eminent has done nothing to close
these hieh.cost mines, and apparently
wants them kept open in order to
force wages downward.
The Manchester Guardian, liberal
mouthpiece, remarks that II the min
ers can get no better terms than
these zone might well say that they
had no option but to resist 10 the last
ounce of their strength"

MONTREAL (FP) -Conspiracies
to hand back the Canadian National
railways, now that they are becoming
profitable, to private ownership, are
believed behind much recent political
maneuvering.
The Hon. "Easyoff" Patenaude, the
political pet of the high financiers Of
Montreal, has been made minister of
justice in premier Meighen's new cab
met which succeeded the shadow cab
met that parliament declared illegal
ly constituted. Parliament was dis
missed for saying so.
Hand Out slush Fund.
In the elections last year Arthur
Meighen, who was mainly responsible
for saddling the public with bank
rupt private railways, refused to de-
nounce public ownership. SO the
mandarins provided Patenaude with a
slush fund and sent him out to organ
lie an independent conservative group
in Quebec.
The theory was that Patenaude
would go to ottawa with enough fol-
lowers to hold the balance of power,
and force Meighen to permit high f.
nance to get control Of the national
railways for song. Patenaude, who
denounced the imperialist views Of
Meighen, was proclaimed by the news
paper organs of the ultra-imperialists
of Montreal as the savior Of French
Canada, against the public ownership
heresy of Ontario. But Patenaude and
all his candidates were disastrously
beaten. ...............

LONDON (FP) - Labor's official
inside story about the general strike is
out at last, but it does not live up to
the promise that secrets would be re-
vealed. The report Of the British
Trades Union congress on the general
strike was made public against the
wishes of the general council by one
of it's members, John Bromley of the
Locomotive Engineers & Firemen's
union. This report was intended for
a special conference Of trade union
executives. But this conference was
postponed to prevent division in the
labor movement and present a solid
front during the miners strike. This
report attacks the miners.
In face of the miners slogan, mot
a penny off the pay" the general coun-
Gil of the British unions felt that the
men would have to accept reductions.
I'VE do not greatly complain about the
miners taking up this attitude" states
the report, "but we do suggest that it
ers that some time or other the mining
industry would have to be reorgan-
lied before it could continue to pay
reasonable wages"
Miners are told that at was time
that some different methods of arriv-
ing at that end were adopted than
merely that of long strikes periodi-
cally." A direct attack is made on
the radical leadership Of Herbert
Smith, president, and A. ]. Cook, Sec
rotary Of the miners: ut is not lead
ership merely to stand by whilst hun
dreds of thousands of men and their
families starve on slogan, and no
real advance is made, and this we feel
will become manifest as time passes.
To have adopted the slogan of the
miners leaders would have meant the
immediate throwing out Of work of
some 100000 mine workers by the
closing of uneconomic pits"

General Strike Inside Story DisappOints

The Mine Workers of America are
told incidentally that the policy of
their conservative leaders will also
result in throwing thousands of min
ers out of work.
"The strike was terminated for one
sufficient reason" the councils report
continues, namely, that in view of
the attitude of the Miners Federation
it's continuance would have rendered
its purpose futile"
Right Wing Aids Bosses.
Capitalist newspapers comment
daily upon the opinion Of the labor
leaders toward the miners strike. By
quoting labor opinion they now boil
ster up attacks made previously
against Herbert Smith and A. j. Cook
only by the enemies Of the labor move
ment
Conservative labor leaders are meet
ing with a disconnected rank and file
everywhere. But the several conven-
lions held since the end of the gen.
eral strike do not indicate that the
left wing can eliminate them. The
convention of the National Union of
Railwaymen, whose political secretary
is ]. H. Thomas, presented an impor-
tant test.
Thomas faced a delegation which
seemed definitely opposed to his poll
cies. The president of the union, w.
Dobbie, said in his address with refer
ence TO Thomas that in the labor
movement "there will be no place for
men who have a foot in both camps"
Thomas was defeated on several is
sues, but when it came to a vote of
confidence and election, he was able
to carry a large majority. The rea-
son given is that he is the ablest trade
union administrator, that he made the
N. u. r. one of the richest unions in
the world, and that his negotiations
secured high wages in the railroad
industry.

will, noted Jewish novelist and zionist
died at hospital in Midhurst Sussex
following two months illness after a
severe nervous breakdown. It was
thot last week he would improve but
a relapse caused his sudden expiration.
A novel, written by Zangwill in 1892,
"The Children of the Ghetto" made
him famous. He was very active in
the movement to establish a home for
the Jewish race and during the war
was a patriot in the allied cause.

WOMEN'S COMMITTEE
APPEALS FOR AID TO
BRITISH COAL MINERS

LONDON-FP)-Even soap is no
longer within the reach Of many min
er families, reports the women's com
mittee for the relief of miners wives
and children.
These relief funds" the committee
says, are used everywhere for RELIEF
in kind. In some cases they are spent In
providing food kitchens for the young
boys who from the age Of IA when they
have left school receive nothing from
poor law authorities. Their mothers give
what they can to these lads and go with
out, themselves but the boys with their
big youthful appetites need a great deal
more than the mother can give.
Thousands of pounds go every week
from the committee to provide for eX-
pectant mothers, and mothers with young
babies and sick women and children.
Clothes are being collected every
where and sent TO the coal fields, where
few women have even baby clothes for
the expected child. There is, as many
express it, a desperate need for boots
and shoes, and few miners have touched
any money at all for weeks past. This
means that everything in the house is
running short and the committee is
providing large supplies Of soap to cover
the immediate need, but can scarcely
meet the cost Of oil and gas for light
ing. In many mining areas everyone goes
to bed when daylight fails because they
cannot afford this necessity.
I'VE know that America is a long way
on but We do appeal for any help that
can be given in the name Of that labor
solidarity which should join US together
thruout the world
The report is signed by Marion Phil
lips, secretary. Her address is Parlia-
mentary Labor Club, IL Tuition St, Lon
don, SW l. England. Own. $3.50 900 has

HINDU PEASANT
PARTY TO help !
Mine STRIKERS
Gives Peasants Stand on
Labor Problem

LONDON, CBy MALL -Respondfng
on the Krestinteru's peasants TntsF-s
nationaD appeal in "Pravda" to the2
peasants of the world, the Hindustana
Gadar Party addressed this following
open letter to the Indian peasants:a
In the world there exists generally
two classes: capitalists and workers
among workers there are again two
sections, proletariat and peasants or
farmers; the capitalist is getting
benefit from both of them. Farmers
supply the capitalist with raw mate
rials on a very low price, and wass
workers are made to work long hours
at very low wages for them.
What The Matter Is.
The peasants are loaded up with
heavy taxes they have to pay TO the
capitalist government; they are op-
pressed in such a way that they have
no chance at all or very little chance
Of getting up resistance to the capS-
talist government; in the same way
the workers or prOletauiaDs, work
hard, and so many hours in the day
that they have not the possibility
to read what is going on in the world
or think how to better their condi-
tions of life.
They have only the time for sleep
and preparation for the next days
labor. The source of their life Is
decaying day by day, they are paid
such small portion of wages that
it is hard for them to support their
families with it, and more they be-
come poor, more oppression is pat
upon them-their wages decrease and
working hours increase.
Spots The Trouble
Whenever the workers make up IN
their mind to strike against their
oppressors, they don't always get
good results. Why is it so2 Because
their leaders belong to the bourgeok
sic, they join with the bougeoizie
and its servant the capitalist govern
ment and prepare failure Of the
strike. Such is the condition in Eng
land now. The poor English laboure
ers oppressed by the capitalist class
enforced compliance on the LIST May
but failed by their leaders fault.
What To Do?
Therefore the HindUstan Gadar Par
ty OondOn) responds with the work
ers of England and requests the
1abOrers of the whole world to unite
and help the strikers in any way they
can
Hindustan Gadar Praty invites the
peasants and proletarians of the whole
world to unite and overthrow the gov
ernments Of all capitalist countries
and clear the place for socialism.

NAGASAKI, Japan, Aug. 3. - The

Y NJ c. A Hall here today with 80
delegates representing China, Japan,
Philippines. India and ,Afghanistan.
The congress is being watched by
large Gordon Of police The govern
ment had refused the use of official

Crisis Patched Up.
The congress was very nearly brok-
en- up before the sessions when the
Chinese delegation demanded that the
Japanese agree to join in a resolution
declaring for the complete withdrawal
Of the Japanese from Manchuria. The
difficulty, however, was compromised
and the congress saved at the last
minute.
Chinese and Indian speakers assail-
ed Great Britain for 1t activities in
the Orient and Japanese speakers took
occasion to declare American is anti
Japanese.
Favor Eastern Continent.
Mr.. Imiasato, a member Of the jap
anese parliament who was elected
president of the congress said, "The
goo, 100000 Asiatics that are experien-
cling the most painful existence, social
miseries and griefs, seemingly favor
an Eastern continent"
Justice, liberty and equality have
departed from Asia where the down
trodden people are crying yainly for
righteous treatment"
The keynote of the congress seems
to be the uniting of all Asiatic people
against the encroachment of the white
races.

CANADIAN REACTIONARIES CONSPIRE
TO GRAB PUBLIC OWNED RAILROADS

Some months ago Meighen had
conference with the financial lead
ers Of the antipublic owner
ship forces and a few days later
he and Patenaude smoked the pipe
of peace. Now Meighen has given
Patenaude the portfolio Of justice.
Patenaude wanted the ministry OF
railways. If Patenaude can muster the
promised campaign funds and elect
an important contingent from Quebec,
he may get the ministry of railways
after the elections to aid the return
of the railways to private control.
Canadian Labor Party.
Canadian labor is making election
plans which indicate a bigger political
effort than ever before. Nearly all
trades councils are represented in the
Labor party locals. In the face Of
recent court decisions declaring peace
full picketing and boycotting Illegal,
the need Of political action is pressing.
In Montreal which for some terms
elected one labor representative TO
parliament, It is proposed to concen-
trate efforts in two or three constitu.
encies. Chief interest centers in On
tario where the Labor party has been
active the past year. When the pro.
vincial government was composed Of
Farmers and Laborites, Ontario had 20
Progressives and Laborites in parlia.
ment, but in the dominion elections
last year the only survivors OF that
combination we're Miss Macphail, Pro.
gressive, and Peter Heffernan, Labor.
