Cheer Aid from Soviet Union.
This statement was greeted with a
spontaneous and most enthusiastic de-
monstration which lasted several
minutes.
McKenna, in his talk which lasted
about an hour, pointed out that the
ownership of the mines had passed
from the hands of individuals with
whom the miners came in contact to
absentee owners. These absentee own
ers were big railroad, steel, iron and
other magnates depending on coal for
the motive power to convert the raw
materials they had cornered into
finished products.
He pointed out that these owners
of the mines were raising the poverty
plea. what these magnates want is
to make the price of coal low at the
pitheads so that they can use it cheap
ly for the other industries"
McKenna brought out that the pres,
'ent battle was merely a continuation
of their struggle of 1919. He declared
that at that time the solidarity OF
labor was such that the powerful tory
government was forced to substitute
the mines for period OF nine months
to avert the impending struggle.
Many of those that now claim own
ership to the minerals and lands to
day in England have no title to this
land. This was brought out in a re
port of a commission to investigate
the coal industry.

that the land and minerals are tbs
