TRIES TO THROW COAL
MINERS VOTES TO BOSSES LACKEYS

Frank harrington, president Of the
United Mine Workers of Illinois, has
issued a circular to the 100000 union
coal miners in this state urging them
to throw their support to Frank L.
Smith, ''Keeley Cure" proprietor from
Dwight and cog in the Len Small
machine who aspires to the United
States senatorship in the coming cleo
tions.
Harrington, whose record as a
myrmidon of the corrupt Small gang
is well known, has the following to
say in behalf of his political play
mate: zone of the aspirants for the
nomination on the republican ticket
for United States senator is Col.
Frank L. Smith, who has risen from
the ranks of labor to his present COM
handing position by sheer energy,
ability and square dealing. He is
known as a square shooter and as
one who never betrayed a trust or
profited by questionable trans
action.
"He has vision and capacity to do
things and by his Accomplishments
he has come to be accepted as one
of the outstanding meReof his country.
Tho he has been received in high
places, he still has heart that beats
in sympathy with the cause OF the
common people because he is OF that
class and he makes no attempt to con-
ceal the fact but is proud of his hum
BILE beginning"
Harrington, it will rbe noted, has
nothing to say about what Smith is
likely to do in the event Of a coal
strike; he does not say whether or
not Smith would fight injunctions is
sued against the miners; he does not
say whether or not Smith is prepared
to help alleviate the suffering among
the Illinois miners. Because Harrington
knows very well that Col. Smith will
do none Of these things.
Harrington is obeying orders from
his political chieftain, Len Small

put over Coolidge and "strikebreaker'

position in the miners union is able

Mayaguez, P. R.,
March "a, 1926.
BY J. NEVARES SAGER,


Secretary Of the Porto Rlcan Section
of the Anti-Imperialist League.
The ever sharpening revolts Of the
colonial and semi-colonial peoples the
world over also finds it's echo in the
little island country of Porto Rico.
Like their Philippine brothers, the
masses of Porto Rico are determined
to set their island free from Yankee
domination, which has shackled them
for almost three decades.
Tho the movement for independ-
ence is but recently taking on a mass
character, the desire for independence
dates back to Spanish times. This de-
sire manifested itself at various Pc
riods under the Spanish domain. by in
surrections of various revolutionary
groups; one of the outstanding insur-
rections against the Spanish tyranny
was the one led in 1870 by Ramon
Betances, who was an ardent fighter
for independence. AS a result of these
instructions the Spanish crown was
finally compelled to grant the island
to some extent autonomy and grant
civil government, giving the island the
status of a province of Spain.
In 1898 Porto Rico was occupied
by the victorious American troops un-

that they soon gave birth to organized
resistance in the form of labor unions.
The newborn labor movement prom
ised to follow militant lines; it be-
came threatening to the landlords and
manufacturing corporations. But the
situation for the imperialists was
saved by the American Federation Of
Labor. The Gompers bureaucracy un-
dertook to guide the Porto Rican labor
movement upon the sure path of Com
persism. The American Federation of
Labor succeeded in placing at the head
of the Porto Rican Free Confederation
of Labor and at its political adjunct,
the socialist party, one of the vilest
Of Wall Streets labor lieutenants
namely, Santiago Iglesias, a labor
fakir of the first magnitude.
Yet, in spite of the reactionary lead
ership forced on the movement, the
years during and those Immediately
following the war witnessed great gen.
eral strikes, which in many instances
almost assumed the character of
armed revolts. However, these mass
movements were finally crushed by
the superior imperialist forces, aided
by the Iglesias outfit. 1t is interesting
to note that for his service to i'm
perialism against the working class Of
Porto Rico fakir Iglesias was recently
awarded the desirable post Of Spanish

Grafton Of Labor (known to intelligent
Latin-American workers as the Pan
American Federation of the Betrayal
of Labor.)
After these defeats the working
masses became passive and Indifferent
towards further resistance; the situa-
ton looked hopeless. However it is
now apparent that the situation will
in the near future be altered. The
successes gained by the revolving colo
NAL people, the insistent stand made
by the Filipinos for independence, are
Installing a new breath of hope into
the masses or Porto Rico.
The struggles for independence is
taking on new life and will proceed
more surely. Thus we have the birth
Of new nationalist party, which de-
mands the immediate and absolute in
dependence of Porto Rico, and that it
means business is demonstrated by its
activity, It organizes the nationalist
youth for the struggle; it exposes the
native cliques who act as lickspittles
OF the imperialist invaders; it has
gone so far as to call upon the people
not to pay taxes and to boycott the
insula government thru the resigna-
ton Of all Porto Rican employees, and
finally it has issued a call for a con-
stitutional convention to create the
republic Of Porto Rico.
Another significant development is

der the command Of General Nelson
Miles, who came with the pretense
of saving the Porto Rican people from
the clutches of Spanish tyranny and
favor them with the blessings of Amer
lean institutions of democracy and
liberty. The population of Porto Rico
soon came to learn what yankee
democracy and liberty means. An un-
'scrupulous, rigid military dictatorship
was imposed upon the civilian popu-
lation, and after two years Of suffer
ing under the military heel of the
democracy-loving yankee invaders, the
unfortunate Porto Rican people were
finally permanently deprived of the
few liberties gained under Spanish
rule, and reduced to utter political
slavery and humiliation rby the impo-
sition, first, of the Foraker act and
later of the similarly infamous Jones
act. gr
Thus politically throttled, the sugar
and tobacco trusts and the banks
began the systematic and ruthless ex-
preparation of the numerous small
holders and peasants of their lands.
Extensive sugar and tobacco fields
and numerous sugar and cigar facto-
ries were established and into them
the propertyless masses were driven
to be most ruthlesslys exploited. So
intense was the exploitation and so

more than century for its porcelain

been thrown out of employment.
