SMALL hope OF
RESC UlN C five
TRAPPED MINERS
Imprisoned in Spar Mine
More Than 80 Hours

SALEM, KY, Aug. 10. - Hampered
in drilling by peculiar rock forma-
ton, rescue workers were making an
effort today to reach the five men en-
tombed in the spar mine near here
from one of three directions. The
men, trapped by "slide in" of mud
and rock, have been imprisoned more
than so hours and but scant hope
was held that they are still alive.
A. NJ. Shelby, engineer who is d.
recting the work, explained that the
dipping" of rock had thrown the
drills out of line and after reaching
a point more than so feet towards the
goal OF 150 feet, this effort was aban-
doned and another hole was started
at another point.
Sink Shaft.
Shelby declared he was now CEN
tering his efforts on clearing the lev.
ell of mud, water and rock which
choked OF the men from the main
shaft since the first slide occurred
last Thursday night.
While operations continued on the
drilling and installation of pump to
be used in clearing the level of mud
water, a shaft was being sunk and
had reached a point Of As feet this
morning.

MAC NIDER SORE
BECAUSE VETS
SPURN LEGION
Fire-Eating Fascist Re-
wives War Lingo

WASHINGTON Aug. 10. - Hanford
MacNider, assistant secretary Of war,
one Of the most strident-voiced fas-
cists in the administration, has found
new target for his favorite epithet-
Stacker" This time II is the great
bulk Of the veterans of the world war,
who refuse to join the American Le-
gion. If man is eligible and doesn't
join, MacNider told a South Carolina
audience of veterans, "he is as much a
Stacker as the man who refuses to
serve his country when called to
arms"
The Disappointed Fascist.
He used to be national commander
of the legion, and he seems to have
counted upon it to give him the gov
ernship of Iowa or seat in the SEN
ate. Disappointed, he turns upon his
old comrades with the same bitter
ness he employs in denouncing trade
union agitators, progressives, social
lists, and persons who argue that the
next war must be prevented by az
gressive pacifism.
MacNider boosted his part in put
ting his friend, Dan Steck, corpora
ton democrat, into the senate by COM
bining the republican regulars with
the democratic machine against Brook
hart in 1924. Now the Iowa voters
have made amends to Brookhart by
nominating him over Cummins. Mac
Nider is Disguised at the breakdown
of fascist discipline that is implied in
the Brookhart triumph.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1o-(FP)-Labor
legislation for North Cardinals wo-
men and child mill workers will be
delayed at least two years and FIVE
months If Governor Mclean does not
push a survey of conditions at once,
announces Mrs. e. l.. Mckee, presi-
dent, North Carolina State Federation
of Women's clubs. New York textile
trade papers quote Mrs, Mckee as
saying that an immediate survey of
the states cotton mills and other in
dustries is necessary as a basis for
legislation which the women's clubs
want put forth in the January legis-
lative session.
Capitalist Governor for Delay.
Governor Mclean proposes to post
pone the inquiry unil the legislature
itself sanctions it. If this is done,
Mrs. Mckee says, the material will
not be ready until the following ses-
sion Of the legislature, two years
hence. The state investigation which
the governor previously ordered after
mill owners refused to cooperate
with the state university study was
dropped when the appointed commits
sion could not agree on the working
staff.
Conditions Good--For Club Women.
The women's clubs resent charges
of organized labor that working con-
ditions for North Carolina women and
children are so poor. The Asheville
Advocate, labor paper, is pointing out
that North Carolina workers need the

ny : Worker corresponden,

ANDOVER, Mass, Aug. 10.-I am
weaver in the Marland mills. l would
like to explain the conditions and the
speed-up systems existing in this
plant.
Where we used to run one loom
with 10 picks and one kind OF filling,
we now run two looms with So picks
for the same money. The average
wage is from s17 to sci a week for
experienced weavers.
The wool which we get to weave is
very bad. 1t is almost impossible to
work. There are weeks in which we
make very little money. The mill
owner seems to be making plenty of
money, despite their cry that they are
losing. S
Within the last two years they built
up two new weave rooms and one
extra out building. In those new
rooms they have placed As automatic
looms, which are taken care of by IL
men. When the men complained that
it was too hard for them to run that
number of looms, they were told if
they did not like it they can "get the
hell out of here" The workers in
the card room are very poorly paid.
The wage is about SIT week for
mending three and four cards.
If a weaver makes bad cloth, which
is the result of bad wool that he gets,
he is fined cent yard for all de-
fects.

PEORIA COAL
MINERS USING
WRONG TACTIC
Need Stronger Union,
Not Home Consumers
BY MAX COHEN.
worker correspondent)

PEORIA, Ill, Aug. 10.-Leaders of
the local miners unions have appealed
to the association Of commerce to help
them solve the slackness of work
among the miners Of this district. A
meeting was held at the Association of
Commerce building. About 40 out of
an expected 100 were present, repre-
senting coal operators, distributors,
miners and retailers.
A committee OF eight will be ap-
pointed by Charles G. Farnum, presi
dent of the Association of Commerce,
to draft a plan for promoting a Burn
Peoria Coar' movement. This was
the result Of the meeting.
Fine Theory-5ut
Figures were quoted indicating that
if Peoria users of coal were to buy all
their coal from mines in this locality
Peoria miners would earn an average
Of $256,554 more per month, or nearly
$500, 900 more a year. This money,
it was said, would be spent in Peoria
territory.
This is very good plan, if it works.
However, the fact that scab-mined
coal from Kentucky is much cheaper
than local mined coal places a great
obstacle in the path of this committee.
To expect the big users of coal to use
the higher-priced union-dug coal from
Peoria in place of the cheap coal they
have always been using is futile. 1t
would increase the cost of production.
Storekeepers Interested, Sometimes.
The only reason why the retailers
are anxious for the miners to get
more coal is that the neat sum Of
$S,500,000 more year that the miners
will be spent with them. Otherwise
they crawl into their shell of dis
interestdness when the miners ask
for credit. #fi
The Burn Peoria Coal" plan is a
failure from the start, because the
interests of the stockholders in facto-
ries, the retailers and the miners do
not agree. The results will speak for
themselves.
Need Stronger Union.
Miners, if not their leaders, will
find that an appeal to business organi.
cations will not react to the benefit
of the workers. The miners must
fight their own battles. A better plan
would be to build more powerful
union locally and the organization of
the unorganized miners who dig the
coal elsewhere.

for women and children; that Nine.
Kollontai, as an Official Of the Soviet
government, endorsed a program Of
governmental aid for mothers and ba-
bies; that Communist publications in
America have endorsed these meas
ures for America. notably the child la
Dor amendment to the federal consti-
tuition. The Woman Patriot considers
this chain of evidence conclusive
that Mrs. Kelley is Communist leg
islative Napoleon, and that Commu-
nism turks in everything she has ia
yored in the past 40 years.
Also Careful"
How careful has been the Kilbreth
study of feminism may be seen from
this sentence: 1T is also worthy OF
note that the feminist societies which
originally proclaimed a desire for wo-
man suffrage as their reason for ex-
istence, have not in the least discon-
tinued their sex war campaigns, but in
fact have intensified them, purporting
to represent women voters en- masse,
as a class, aligned against men and
the regular political parties thru so
called National League OF Woman
Voters and a National Woman's Party
with the Communist philosophy OF sex
war as their only remaining excuse
for existence"

Especial to Thes Daily Worker)
MEXICO CITY, July 26.-FailIng in
Its boycott maneuVer against the Mex
lean regulations restraining religious
education In the schools, the Roman
Catholic church in Mexico has drawn
another weapon which It thinks will
rouse the faithful to struggle.
The churches of Mexico will suspend
services after July 81, according to
an episcopal letter sent out in the
name Of Archbishop Jose Mora y Del
Rio, seven other archblshops and
thirty bishops.
Accommodation Threat.
Suspension was ordered in protest
against the new religious regulations
promulgated by the Mexican govern
ment The manifesto, which took the
form of pastoral letter, lists the pen
alties which may be imposed on those
of the catholic faith responsible for
the new laws, including excommunica-
ton. Altho formal services will cease
in all churches, they will remain open
for prayer and meditation.
Gales Answers.
President Gales in a statement
charged that the present disturbances
thruout Mexico were the result Of ef-
forts of ''reactionary elements to over
throw the revolutionary government
under the guise of religious zeal.'
Gales belittled the possible effects
of the boycott OF the churches by the
clergy. His statement continues as
follows:
Even were the proposed economic
paralysis Of the country actually pro-
duced by the Catholics, while it might
mean disorders and tumult, the gov
ernmeht could not itself be injured,
and the net result would be to bring
down upon the leaders of the move
ment the hatred of those who had suf
fered from the boycott.
Work of ScoundreIs.
81 we'll understand that for the peo-
pie of the United States it is difficult
to grasp the fact that the agitation in
Mexico is simply the work of scoun-
drels who are seeking to conceal their
political motives under the mantle of
religion.
