1T is obvious that the owners de.

ed by the royal commission, will not
bring peace nor prosperity to the in

Not MaeDonaId's Idea.
How this latter sentiment con-
fiicts with the attempt by the Labor
Party chiefs to thrust both the
longer day and district agreements
down the miners threats, can be cas-
lily seen.
The federation's official statement
on the situation, conceding a discus.
sion on wages alone. is as follows:
Federation's Official Statement.
THE federation is well aware Of
the owners belief that in the long
run the miners will be forced to-
submit to any terms, however inequit
able, thru the starvation OF their
families. 1t is sufficient to point outI
that the spirit of the miners, so fad
from being broken, as the owners
and the government appear to sud-
pose, is resolute and mistaken, ard
that, as messages which pour into
the federations offices show, rhey
will in no circumstances consent 30
terms which would break UP their
national organization and. deprive
them Of the 7-hour day.
Wages only
"At the same time the Miners
Federation is prepared TO enter into
negotiations on this question OF
wages and deplores the fact that the
owners sabotaged discussion thereon
by insisting upon proposals which,
after an exhaustive inquiry, were
roundly condemned by the royal com
mission. Provided It is satisfied

Deadlock Now on Struck
Chicago Store Buildings
Expect crisis Wednesday

The strike continues on the two
Lands award jobs from which all
men were order by the Chicago Build
ing Trades Council last week. The
critical point is approaching when the
attempt to furnish scabs will be made
by the Citizens Committee for the
Enforcement of the Lands Award.
The committee has announced that
this will probably be Wednesday. The
council has intimated that a number
of other buildings classed as Lands
award jobs may be on strike by that
time, making 1t difficult to find strike
breakers enough to go around.
Police and private guards furnished
by the Citizens Committee are in evil
dence at both places.

up here in Northern Wisconsin,
when a Communist faces an audi
ence, what the farmers and the
lumberjaeks who make up that
audience, like to hear most about
is what is going on in the Union Of
Soviet Republics. What success is
being achieved, they ask
In this respect the audience isn't
much different than one that might
gather in the Manhattan Lyceum or
the Central Opera House, in New
York City, the Street Garments Hall,
in Chicago, or the Labor Lyceum in
Pittsburgh. In fact many Of the
farmers who are trying to win a
livelihood from the soil, after the
rapacious lumber interests have cut
down the wealth Of great forests of
pine are former industrial workers
who have sought an escape from the
coal mines, the steel mills or the
fierce struggle for jobs in the big
cities.
We lit the oil lamps in the Town
Hall Of Schley Township, arranged
the chairs, put out the Communist
literature on a table and soon the
gathering began to assemble from
miles around, Jacks" from the
lumber camps, mortgage burdened
farmers, tenant farmers and farm
ers' wives, and the children Of farm
ers. A Communist meeting in the
townships hall, for the use Of which
no rent had to be paid. 1t was the
only place the workers and farmers
could set foot without paying rent.
But, it might be said, they paid with
their growing taxes for the use Of
this meeting place.
One of the first to drop in was
the big political boss, Heineman, of
Merrill, who said he ~just happened
to be in the neighborhood" He
glanced at the literature, picked up
a few samples; looked them over, IN
til he finally came to the little
pamphlet, 1.-THE Workers (Commun-
ist) Party, What 1t Stands For, Why
Every Worker Should join"
What kind of a meeting is this ?"
he asked, somewhat dismayed.
TITS a Communist meeting" he
was told. He didn't remain long after
that, and he didn't seem anxious to
take any of the literature along with
him. But be did s. /,

LABOR TO

AT |. |. D. MEET
Delegates Coming in
from Industrial Centers

A score Of delegates will represent
the South Slavic workers Of America
at the conference of International
Labor Defense which opens in Chicago
on September 5, says Martin Krasick,
secretary Of the South Slavic section
of the organization. &
Delegates have already been selec-
ted from South Slavic branches Of
international Labor Defense and from
sympathetic sections of the fraternal
organization of the Creation workers
in this country. From the chief in
dustrial centers like Chicago, South
and North Chicago, West Allis, De-
tliot, St. Louis to little towns like
Campbell, Ohio, these delegates will
arrive. In addition some three dele
gates from Milwaukee, a similar num-
Der or more from the Pittsburgh dis
trict, where thousands of South Slavic
workers are engaged in the coal min
ing or steel industry, and from Cleve-
land.
Good Work Among slaVs
"If it were not for the fact that a
good deal Of our members are unem-
ployed in the coal mining industry
and the financial weakness OF some
of our young branches in remote sec
tions of the country, we would have
many more delegates representing our
national branches and sympathetic
units" said Krasick. "As it is, we
are more than satisfied with the re-
Spouse we have already had from our
branches. The organized work among
South Slavic workers for the cause
of united labor defense has already
produced gratifying results.
1.-THE South Slavic delegates will
participate as regular delegates in the
conference of the LID. and in addition
will have a short conference Of their
own in order to lay out plans for car
rying out the work OF LID. among
the thousands Of South Slavic work
ers in this country. These workers
have not only common, interests with
the rest of the American working
class, in uniting with Them to defend
its class war victims, but they are
also especially interested, as Is nat

the country of their birth. One Of the
