here are no hirelings to beat them up
10 do so? Then the scabs? And the
manufacturers gorillas? Who would
put up against them? The right wing
Forward boys were in hopes that the
strikers would run away. The strike
would run flotsam and jitsam. Then
they would come in with an attack.
They would show that the rights were
the only souvereigns. They have even
put up bets. A number of the right
wingers have wagered with the bosses
that it would take one week-at the
most two-and the strike under the
left leadership would fall apart as a
house built of cards in a storm. Poor
hopes! Buried dreams!
But It Was Different.
The strike under the left leadership
did not take into account the opinions
and prophecies of the gang. The lefts
drew the line and we may state
proudly that the undertaking was
brought to successful conclusion
without diversion. The entire 10000
furriers registered themselves the first
week. All committees took their po-
sitions. All committees were formed
from the rank and file. What wonder
full orderl What wonderful discipline!
Twelve thousand workers-one body,
one soul-welded together with their
leaders, bound to one another by re-
spect and love, one grand family. de-
vout. Can workers be loyal to their
leaders. Can leaders be loyal to the
workers whom they represent?
But about the flow of the strike we
shall speak in our next article.

Letters from Our
Readers

Editor DAILY WORKER-Being a
constant reader of your newspaper,
which is not built on a corrupt foun-
dation like the yellow capitalist politi-
cal papers of the country, but which
exposes all the tricks of the ruling
class to keep down the slowly awak-
ening exploited toiling Americans
masses.
Lately had some experience with
'our law" in the circuit and superior
courts, and after that time l always
send some "unbelieving Thomas" to
watch the proceedings of capitalist
courts.
Some time ago a young educated
and patriotic man came from Scotland
to Canada and enlisted during the
World War to fight for democracy"
Last year he moved to the United
States, still patriotic with big" ideas
gained in Northwestern University
and thru reading daily newspapers,
etc. One day l took him to the supe-
rior court to watch our democratic"
justice, and after that he said that
democracy" is all politics and bunk!
Try to do the same thing with I'M
believing Thomases.
Yours, A. N.

NEED SPANISH DAILY.

Dear Comrades: 1 think there
should be something done in regards
to starting a Spanish newspaper sim
liar to The DAILY WORKER. There
are approximately four million Mexi-
cans in this country and they are
coming across the border like flies.
The powers that be imagine that there
is no harm in the Mexicans, as to
their being radicals. The bosses fear
European immigrants as being imbued
with Bolshevism. That is why they
keep the bars up against the Europ-
can workers and allow cheaply paid
Mexican labor into the country. In
speaking to many of the Mexicans
that have come across l have found
that there is a great demand for
Spanish daily.-C. G., San Diego, Cal.

should have already organized large
numbers of the miners children into
the Pioneer groups. A reduction in
wages for the miners means added
misery for their children.
Besides the general misery for the
coal miners children Company
houses, malnutrition because Of I'M
employed parents, etc. we find the
rottenest kind Of public school sys-
tenn for kids in the mining territory.
Dilapidated school buildings, inexpe-
rienced teachers, grating school
boards are on the order of the day.
The schools are company schools in
every sense of the word and their
main aim is to turn out obedient
slaves.
Is it any wonder then that one day
Of each week in some mine town
schools are devoted to pumping the
kids full of religious bunk. They are
thought to be meek and submissive.
To get these children to join the
Pioneer groups means to line them up
on the side of their parents.

The FWrierS' Strike: lis Outcome and Its Lessons

rights. 1t was rumored that the man
ufacturers were ready to make COM
promises and concede to a very neces-
sary part of the unions demands. The
bosses knew by experience that the
left administration has the courage
and the will to do the right thing, and
that it chiefly supports itself upon the
confidence and loyalty of the work
ers. This was the very reason why
the bosses were ready to make COM
promises for the union in order to
avoid an open fight. 1t was within
probability that a strike would have
been avoided had it not been for the
treacherous undermining of the For
ward clique. For weeks before the
strike the right provocators led an
open agitation against the union de-
mands. Just as the bosses had dis
puted our demands, so have the mem
bers of the Forward clique argued that
the union demands too much. At the
local meetings the rights have dis
puted as the bosses had at confer
ences, our demands were unjust.
Altho the demagogues were present at
the membership meeting where these
demands were unanimously and
heartily accepted, these actions, of
course, were chiefly aimed to democrat
lie the workers before their entrench-
ment for the fight with the bosses.
Boss Arguments.
At the office were received many
complaints against the right Forward
members who championed fist argu-
ments at meetings of the counter
revolutionary, white-guard, Abramo-
witch, that these very champions came
among the workers and provoked
them, claiming that the demands put
forward are not in their interest, but
are there for the propaganda purposes
Of the Communist Party. The very
same arguments were used by the
bosses at the conferences with the
unions. The united front that entered
into a league with the remains Of
Kaurmanism to betray the lefts gath.
cred themselves in Long Island and
there entered into holy alliance with
the Forwards gang. There they be-
gan their caucuses and consplracies
and, may II be mentioned here, that
half dozen half-witted anarchists en-.
tered the union also. A triple alliance
was formed. The band got into i'm.
mediate contact with members OF the
Workmen's Circles, the pillars Of the
Forward that we're among the bosses
The bosses, encouraged by these con-
splracies, decided TO call the union
into open combat. But the bosses, as
well as the Forward people, made a
terrible miscalculation

aimed. We knew their objects. The
united front burst open right after the
treachery at the convention. The
gang was driven away from the New
York membership because of it's
treachery at the convention, and in
addition there were many people
among them whose honesty was ques-
toned by the great masses since the
strike back in 1920. Because of these
facts, and a number of other causes,
the left administration decided to sift
the New York Office clear of all sus-
picious elements that stood in close
contact with the Forward. The Long
Islanders were ready for their attack.
Because of this they subdued each one
who would hamper them in their pro-
vocative undertakings. For example,
Comrade Yukelson, formerly the edi-
tor Of the Fur Worker, who proposed
to work gratis during the whole pc
riod of the strike, was discharged. In
his stead an old slave of the gangster
and grafters' administration was APP
pointed. The decision of the joint
board to put aside the Long Islanders
from the strike leadership struck them
like a thunderbolt. They had planned
to stop short and betray the strike
from the inside. Their plan bust open.
The plan of few experienced to earn
a dollar" in time Of strike was de-
stroyed. The gangster pest was cut
out. The left wingers, with a clear
conscience and a strong belief in its
work, entered the strike leadership.

LABOR SPEED UP
Commerce Head Boasts
of u. S. Efficiency
(speoIaI 70 The oaIIy wOrkerl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. Julius
Klein of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce holds that gains
of 16 per cent in year and of go
per cent since 1922 in the exports
of finished manufactures reflect the
increasing efficiency of American in
dustry and the energy of American
craftsmanship in foreign markets.
He says, Regardless of depreciat-
ed European currencies and low
wages-in fact, partly because of the
low standards of living and efficiency
which they imply-the intelligence
and resourceful adaptability of the
American manufacturer have made a
place for American fabricated wares
which bids fair to continue its steady
expansion"
The total value Of the country's ex-
ports of manufactured articles in
creased from S1,21O, 5S7, 900 in 1922
to $1,937, 295,00O in 1886. Articles
showing extraordinary gains include
farm tractors from $4,5OO,OOO to SAP
100000 or S2S per cent; motor trucks
$6,5OO,0OO to S46,5OO,OO or 612 per
cent; automobiles $4,000, 900 to $685.
400, 900 or Alb per cent; farm ma
chinery S2O,SOO,OOO to S9O,OOO,OOO or
343 per cent; auto parts and Access
series $SO,SOO,OOO to 1891, 100000 or
81 per cent; and construction, con-
veying, mining, oilIwell and pumping
machinery considerably over 100 per
cent.
This increase in our exports of man
ufactured goods Klein regards as nee
essary to pay for a constantly greater
quantity of raw material and luxury
imports, for tourist expenditures, etc.

1000 Young Miners
March in England

LONDON, England.-Despite heavy
rain, large demonstration of young
miners assembled at Meath. There
were 10000 present, having marched
in from all the outlying districts.
This was the result of a campaign
of mass meetings held by the joint
committee of the Young Communist
League and the l. L. P. Guild of Youth.
A conference of miners strike COM
mittees had drawn,up the scale of de-
mands, which had been enthusiastic
cally adopted The labor group on
the Meath Guardians had, however,
refused to meet to discuss the matter
and formulate a united policy.
When a deputatlon went in TO place
their case before the board-and they
were able to show that real destftur
ton was existing-they were present
ed with the pretty spectacle of Labor
Guardians falling over each other In
their eagerness to serve Chamber
lain. A motion TO grant los weekly to
destitute men, in defiance Of the min
istry, only received six votes out OF
80 Labor Guardians.
The Meath workers are not going
to cease their agitation for relief until
every Labor Guardian has been
brought to book in his trades council,
until the Guardians have been forced
to relieve the terrible distress caused
by the lockout.
