Egyptian Censorship Scandal.
Is it not time that the labor M. P.'s
took this matter UP in the British
house of commons and exposed the
whole filthy imperialist policy Of these
satraps of capitalism? If they want
further evidence the prison bells of
Jerusalem and Jaffa could disgorge
plenty of evidence.
1t is also time that our labor mem
bers took up the case of the Egyptian
comrades who, after spending six
months in jail without. trial, were
finally tried in Cairo on January 9, and
were sentenced, three to three years
and one to one years Imprisonment,
all newspapers being forbidden to pub
fish the evidence for the defense.
1t is well known that the whole
frame-up was carried out by the reac-
tionary Egyptian government at the
instigation of the British residency.

With the Young Workers Communist League
"cIVE US A BIG FAcToRY.v

Only two months passed since the
reorganization, but you could hardly
recognize our section of the Young
Workers League. It's new form of or
ganization brought a radical change
into its ranks.
Comparing the league now, with the
league a few months ago, we can say
that we made a very progressing step,
towards becoming real mass organ
ization.
Every comrade of the league, we'll
remembers the activity of the former
branches. What was it? Lectures, dis
cussions, affairs, classes, club work
and sometimes literature distribution
in mechanical-like manner. No
direct connection with young workers
at all. No direct participation in their
struggle. No gaining sympathy, of big
masses of young workers, to our move
ment.
OF course, now, in this period of our
development every one of us knows,
why 1t was so. Because of the old
form of organization, which kept us
isolated from working masses, from
mass activity. What do we find now,
at our units?
Now, when you come up to a meet
ing of one of our concentration groups,
you find altogether a different atmos-
phere. Serious, militant faces. On the
order of Unsatisfactory reports: a
factory of 600 young workers, a fac
tory of 500 young workers, of 300
workers, wages, hours, bad conditions,
boss, foreman etc. Then arise a ques-
ton of issuing a leaflet, the latter
is being drawn up and discussed, then
the literature distribution is assigned
to distribute the Young Worker at the
gates of a certain factory, then com
rades are being instructed to write up
an article about conditions of a fac
tory of which information is obtained,
etc.
AS you see, entirely different char
acter there before. At our section
meetings, all the concentration groups
get together, and comrades from diff
ferent groups exchange with each
other their experiences. Some
times you could hear from a group
organizer, whose group did not sue
coed in obtaining a big factory upon
which to concentrate it's activity, a
cryout, please, give us a big shop
too" Simply, the comrades begin to
feel, that if they haven't got a big fac
tory upon which to concentrate their
activity, they see no possibility for
their concentration group to exist.
OF course, at first, and even now,
there are some comrades who are very
pessimistic. They cannot get used to
the new form of organization. They
don't see the good, and the absolute
necessity of the new form. They I'M
derestimate the new accomplishments.
But these comrades, will gradually,
with the help of the more advanced.
come up nearer and nearer to the
correct road, and together with all the
other comrades, help to make the
~. w. L. a real, mass, militant Com
munist organization.

MINERS union IN
PITTSBURGH HURT
BY CLASS PEACE
Reactionary Officials Do
Not Fight for Workers
BY A. HEAVIER.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 20. =
Conditions in the coal mining indus
try in this district are gradually be-
coming worse. The union coal miners
are being compelled to perform labor
for great deal less than that pro-
vided for in the so-called Jacksonville
agreement.
In many cases the miners make a
fight for the scale rates provided in
the 1924 contract, but the companies
dispute the cases, and on appeal to
the union officials they are almost
always decided in favor of the coal
company. The miner who has the
courage to fight for his contractual
rights is framed and fired, told to get
his tools and get out, while the labor
fakirs stand quietly by and permit it
without raising any objection what
ever.
Imposes New Conditions.
In one of the largest mines in the
Monongahela district the following
case occurred, which is a sample of
the cases that are taking place all
over the district. At the Diamond
mine near Brownsville a coal miner
was ordered to load fall of slate on
the entry in front of his working place
for so cents per car. He refused, and
then was offered rs cents per car.
He still refused, stating that the con-
tract covered the case; that the fall
should be loaded out at the contract
rate of $3.50 per eight-hour day, which
was correct. He was fired, took up
his case with the union officials. The
charge was switched, and the manage
ment stated he was fired for loading
dirty coal. The union officials sus-
tanned the discharge and the pro-
gressive miner is now on the road
looking for new master.
Aiding Bosses.
We are losing our conditions all
over the district in this manner, while
the union officials are doing nothing
but aid the operators in their nefa-
rious tactics, to run all the fighters
out of the union. After all our strug-
giles and sacrifice we see the COM
pany union being put in operation all
around us thru the class collaboration
of the union officials, who are doing
nothing for the miners, but are hang
ing on to the union treasury.
Kick Out Betrayers.
The miners in most of the camps
are disguised with their officials and
are beginning to understand that we
will never be any better until we get
rid of them and elect progressive min
ers to the offices on the program of
the progressive miners Of the U. M.
w. of A.
Many local unions have indorsed
naturalization of the mines with
workers control, shorter work day and
week, all out during strikes, national
agreements, and the formation of a
labor party.
The miners around here are also
putting on a campaign to get the pro-
gressive miners paper circulated thru
out the field, so that the workers will
understand actually what is happen
ing in the mining industry, and learn
how to meet the situation. The ma
tional program of the progressive min
ers is being Endorsed turnout the min
ing field and the miners here must be
awakened to the necessity of militant
action.
Subscribe for the Progressive Miner,
the only class conscious paper pub
lished exclusively in the interest of
the coal diggers.

ASTORIA MEMBER
OF Y. ". |. Forced
FROM SCHOOL JOB
R e move d as Student
Head by Principal
BY V. J. MAILMAN.

ASTORIA, Ore, March 29-One Of
the members of our Y. w. L. here
in Astoria has caused Quite a commo-
ton in the capitalist press. His prin-
cipal in the Captain Gray Junior
High School noticed two pins that
Paul Siro had been wearing on his
coat: one was a picture of Lenin and
the other a red star with a hammer
and sickle on it.
Paul Siro told the principal the sig
niicance of the pins and openly adj
mitted his Communist beliefs. The
principal then called the city superin.
tendent of schools and together they
questioned and argued with him for
over four hours. Paul was given two
alternatives: either to take the but
tons off his coat and give up his Com.
munist beliefs or to give up his of
fee as student body president. He
chose the latter and in our Y. w. L.
meeting the members that were at
tending the same school decided to
put up a fight against accepting his
resignation when it came up at the
student body meeting. % But it turned
out that the principal was afraid to
let the resignation go to the meeting
because it appeared very likely that
it would not be accepted. Altho the
student body is supposed to be run
according to democratic principles
this case was not allowed to go thru
democratic channels and the principal
acted as dictator in deciding the
case.
Is Good Student.
The school authorities cannot find
any fault with Paul as a student. And
he is great favorite with schoolmates,
which was shown when he was elect
ed to his office with an overwhelming
majority.
All Of the local capitalist papers
have been carrying big scare headlines
of the "stupendous find" and from the
local papers it has spread to all the
important papers of the northwest and
probably of the country. Many of the
things they say are lies. One of the
papers has been telling of how young
Siro has been sent by the adult Com
munist society to all Of the important
cities Of the northwest to address
red" meetings. The bay hasn't even
seen most Of the places he is supposed
to have been in.
Paul is one of our most active mem
bers in the Y. W. l.. here and is very
good speaker for such young boy
Che is only IA years old and we have
great hopes of him for our work.

Nothing Learned About

Reports coming in from the tense

canyon in which the abductors of Mrs.

kilograms sent out by the officials
on this side to all the border patrol
units and police officers that could
possibly intercept an attempt by the
abductors to. escape from Mexico have
added to the certainty that they shall
not escape.
The officers believe that, as the
fugitives are Americans, they will try
to get away into the north through
their own country, for if they should
go south and be captured by Mexican
officers they would not be very pleas
antly treated in consideration of the
affront their activities have been to

'KLANSMEN STAGE
KANSAS PARADE
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)


EMPORIA, TQans., June 30. More
1000 Ku Klux Klansmen in masks
and robes, marched down the main
street of Emporia tonight in silent
procession. Special police lined the
street, but found nothing to do. No
disorders were reported and the event
passed quietly
The parade came after day in
which both city and county authorities
Gought to prevent the demonstration.
A petition for an injunction to stop
the parade and restraining order
preventing the city of Emporia from
enforcing it's ordinance requiring tho
Klansmen to register before parading
and to wear tags so that the police
could identify all marcners wearing
masks, were passed on by Judge I. II.
Richardson in the circuit court and
decided in favor of the Khan.
All day the Klansmen were gather
ing from the eastern and southern
parts of the state. A group of women,
estimated at 800, also took part, mask
ed like the men, in the parade. In one
section of the line was the Wichita
Khan band and a large representation
apparently from that city.
The line was formed quickly. Some
of the Klansnen were mounted on
horses and rode back and forth keep
ing the marchers in the course. Short,
ly after o'clock the line began NOV
ing. Some of the marchers carried
flaming crosses and other emblems Of
klandom.
After the parade passed the Klans-
men went quietly to one of the parks,
where a short meeting was held.
Emporia citizend who had turned
out to witness the demonstration
stayed on the streets for a while, then
went home.
