l. w. A. Answer

The Central Trades and Labor
Council of New York has sent a let
ter to the delegates to that body at
lacking the International Workers
Aid for its collection Of finds for
the striking British miners. 1t is
the opinion of the International Work
ers' Aid that such action comes with
i'll grace from the Central Trades and
Labor Council in view of the record
in regard to the question of support
'of the British Miners Strike.
The International Workers Aid is
the American section of the Workers
International Relief, international or
ganization thru which hundreds Of
thousands of dollars have been sent
for the relief of the BritishSmin
Cooks Telegram.
After the strike Of the minert had
been under way for some weeks, the
International Workers Aid received
the following cablegram from A. J..
Cook, secretary of the British Miners
Union:
ION behalf British miners, hearty
thanks I. w. A. Collecting money lie
great assistance. This action unltes
workers in their opposition against
great capitalists offensive. British
miners defeat will be followed by de-
feat of workers in every country.
Therefore miners Of Britain must not
be defeated. We appeal for further
assistance. Trouble reached acute
stage against united forces Of British
government and capitalists. Children
suffer most under trouble. |. w. A.
has been most helpful. We are using
your funds to feed our children. They
send you everlasting thanks. Our
Victory will be victory for all work
ers of the world.
"a. J. Cook"
Upon receipt of this cablegram, the
International Workers Aid immedi-
ately doubled its efforts for funds for
the British miners. It realized, how
ever that its unassisted effort would
not result IN raising such aid as the
British miners have a right to ex-
pect from the American labor move
ment and 1t therefore sent the fol.
lowing telegram to the executive
council OF the American Federation OF
Labor, asking At to take up the ques-
ton OF British Miners Relief:
Letter 10 President Green.

"5Ishop William Montgomery Brown,
chairman,
"Fred G. Riedenkapp, Secretary"
The executive council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor took no &C.
ton until four or five weeks later
when it finally sent circular letter
to the local unions asking them to aid
the British miners, but made no or
ganized effort to raise funds.
Aided Strikers From Beginning.
Now, nearly four months after the
strike began, the American Fedora
ton of Labor has finally been induced
thru the delegation of the British min
ers to take active steps to raise funds
for the miners strike. In contrast,
the international Workers Aid has
carried on an extensive campaign
from the very beginning in an effort
to aid the miners in their splendid
struggle.
We repeat, under these circum-
stances, It comes with i'll grace from
the Central Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil of New York which for nearly four
months has ignored the British min
ers' strike to now make an attack up
on an organization which has been
aiding the miners from the begin
ming.
Even so, the International Workers
Aid welcomes the fact that at last
the American Federation of Labor is
really doing something to help the
British miners. It will support all
the strength Of its organization the
effort of the British miners delega-
ton to raise funds for the relief of
the strikers.
