The DAILY WORKER must become
the organ of the organized workers
or at least that section of the trade
unionists who today have their eyes
open and are looking for leadership.
With a growing recognition of the
achievements Of the Soviet Union.
with a somewhat hazy understanding
of the British general strike. with the
capitalists of this country extracting
their ounces of blood from the veins
of American labor, the American
workers are beginning to recognize
that something is wrong and are
cropping for a new program, for new
methods.
The DAILY WORKER must become
the guiding organ OF these masses OF
workers, whom we call progressives.
We must make them readers OF our
English organ, for until we have the
American-born and American-speak-
ing workers following the lead OF the

foreign product.

Especial to The Daily Worker,


LONDON, Sept. 30. = If the Brit
ish miners can hold out on strike un-
I'll November, the government and the
mine owners will be beaten. This is
seen In the figures admitted by the
government of the small production
being made, and the fact that in spite
Of intense hardship only 10000 out
Of more than 100000 miners have
returned to the pits.
British Industry Hard Hit.
British industry itself in normal
times uses 100000 of the 100000
tons weekly produced when all miners
are working. Now only 100000 tons
are produced, but one-sixth Of what
is needed for British Industrial con-
sumption alone.
In addition 100000 tons weekly is
normally used in homes for family
purposes. Thus the 100000 tons de-
manded by England for use within the
island has only 100000 tons or one
eighth that amount, to supply it. The
normal export of 100000 tons week
ly is cut off and thus production is
only 10 per cent of normal
scab Coal Poor and Costly.
While scab coal shipments from the
continent and America is fairly plenti-
full, it is costly, selling for $3.50 a
ton, too high for all but a few uses
and it is heartily disliked by all coal
users because of its poor quality.
Heavy industry, which relies on
cheap coal, is hard hit. 1t cannot run
at profit on high-priced imported
coal altho September imports are
reckoned at 5000, 900 tons, even this
leaving a big gap between supply and
normal demand. n
Blast furnaces are cold. About 140
were going in April before the strike.
In August 1856 were going. But now
only six are working. The slump in
industry is thus clearly seen as ter
rifics
In addition, Britain is losing her ex-
port coaf trade to other countries coal
merchants. And of still more gravity
is the loss of general commodity trade,
which is costing British business

MUSSOL|NI and

SECRET CONFAD
Organizing Hostile Bloc
Against France
Especial to The DalIy worker)

NSPSStA ~ iHS lazy WSiNSEy
LONDON, Sept. 80. - One Of the
most important meetings taking
place since the end Of the world war,
will be held today on board an ltal.
ian warshlp in the Mediterranean
Sea, between 6enito MussolinI, the
fascist dictator and Austen Chamber
lain, foreign secretary Of the British
government.
Held on the heels of the adjourn
ment Of the league OF nations assem-
bly, the meeting sheds brilliant light
on the futility of the league as an in
strument to prevent war. OF course,
every intelligent person knows that
the league was never intended as an
instrument of peace but as a weapon
to be used by the big powers to di-
vide the spells of the earth between
them. However, they cannot agree.
Hence the meeting between Musso-
lini and Chamberlain today following
the conference between BRAND and
Stresemann last week. A British-Ital-
ian alliance against a French German
entente. This is the motive behind
the powwow on the Mediterranean.
Sending Out Decoys.
The British foreign office Is assid-
uously seeking to create the impress
sion that Britain's object in arriving
at a closer understanding with Italy
Is desire to curb the warlike emo
tons Of Mussolini for whom Chamber
lain processes a deep regard. This d.
plomatic subterfuge will not fool we'll
informed people. The conferences is
a threat to France.
Downing street stresses its desire
to maintain an entente with France
but the rapid progress of the negotia-
tons between Germany and France,
in the direction of an accord, leaves
England out in the cold and facing
the old nightmare of a powerful con-
tinental bloc which could not be shak-
en- by England's historic policy OF her
balance of power across the chan
mel.
Gesture Towards italy.
A Franco G erman combination
would dominate Europe and this fact
is responsible for England's gesture
towards Italy. France and Italy are
at loggerheads because of Italy's need
Tor territory at the expense Of some
other nation. Whether Italy grabs
territory from Turkey or from France
is in the lap of opportunity. 1t ia
quite possible that Chamberlain and
Mussolini will cast covetous eyes at
French territory in North Africa

"VoU may not agree with the whole

What does it mean when men who
have been long in the labor movement
of this country and abroad recognize
that the trade union policy of our pa

IRONWOOD. Mich, Sept 3O.-Step-
ping out of the CHASTITY darkness of
the pit that by the merest chance was
prevented from serving as their grave,
forty-three iron ore miners blinked
their eyes as they saw the light of day
for the first time in six days.
The hardihood and bravery of these
toilers, some of them well along in
years, was exceedingly great.
This, and the fact that they organ
lied themselves to withstand their
fate when they knew they were
trapped, held off the danger of insan-
ity, always a menace to entombed
miners.

Ships sold or leased to private IN

Board at surprisingly low figures are
already taking part in this nefarious

Proposal Of Senator
The direct request for use Of gov

from a politician who says he wants
to help American labor.

will build up trade while eliminating
