victimization and displacements. The
employers were out to completely
smash the unions. The General Coun-
Gil, by it's cowardly, unconditional sur
render had certainly done its utmost
to help in this objective.
Membership Stops the Panic.
TT remained for the rank and file, the
ordinary members, to put a stop to
the rout of the leadership. The mil
lions of strikers knew they were not
defeated; they simply refused to ac-
cept this defeat handed to them by
their leaders. They refused to return
to work under the conditions laid
down by the employers. For several
days after the strike was officially
called off, it was still on in reality, for
the members of the different unions
remembered, with regard to their own
organizations, what the General Coun-
Gil had forgotten for the movement as
whole-the slogan Of "Alll out to-
gether, all back together"
The second offensive of the employ
ers came to a quick smashup on the
rock of invincible solidarity which
could also have won the general strike.
In few days even Mr.. Baldwin was
forced to appeal publicly to the en-
ployers to end the strike by abandon.
ing their worst plans for victimization.
AS a result of the collapse of the
General Council, however, almost
every union has suffered in some way.
The panic was stopped by the invinc-
ible class spirit of the masses, but the
blow delivered by the employing class,
while it failed in its objective of
smashing the unions, did fall heavily
upon them. Perhaps the worst of all
sufferers in this respect was the N.
U. r. National Union of Railway
mem, the organization which Mr..
Thomas represents in the General
Council.
THE railroads Immediately set up an
l. elaborate system of discrimination
against the strikers. The membership
refused to work under these condi-
lions. Mr.. Thomas again came to the
fore. He held consultations with the
employers. He signed a settlement
with them, which he announced was

Hold Sacco-Vanzetti
Meeting at the Mall
on Boston Common

6 BOSTON. Mass, June 17.-The
Workers (Communist) Party of Bos-
ton opened its Sunday afternoon forum
meetings on the Mall at the Boston
Common with a meeting for Sacco
and Vanzetti. This meeting was of
especial interest to the workers gath
cred there because it is in this state
that the effort to railroad these two
workers is taking place.
The meeting was opened by Com
rade Hurwitz, who acted as chairman.
The next speaker was H.. J. Cantor,
who gave very instructive outline OF
the case. He was followed by Bert
Miller, who explained the political sig
nifcance of the case. The audience
was greatly interested in the facts
presented and donated s12 toward the
Sacco-Vanzetti defense.
Forum meetings will be held every
Sunday afternoon at o'clock at the
Mall.
Next Sunday the British strike and
what 1t means to the American work
ers will be discussed.

BETRAYAL of the miners by the
- General Council leaders of the
general strike was, in a very, imme-
date and real sense, betrayal of the
whole working class. Surely that was
bad enough. But not content with
this, the General Council proceeded to
abandon the interests of all the strik-
ers. Altho the certainty of attempts
by the employers to victimize all strik-
ers had been foreseen, and guarded
against in the unanimously accepted
resolution of May 2, which said "that
in the event of trade union agreements
being placed in jeopardy, it be def
niteIy agreed that there will be no
general resumption of work until those
agreements are fully recognized" the
question was completely ignored by
the General Council when it called off
the strike.
Only after calling off the strike with
out conditions, and so notifying Bald
win as he had demanded, was the
question timidly brought forward of
determinations. They did not even
mention the Samuel Memorandum! AS
for protecting the other unions aside
from the miners, it is not necessary to
quote Communists to get picture of
the depths of degradation to which the
council descended; George Lansbury,
certainly not Communist and not
hostile to the General Council, gives us
the following Clans. Weekly, May 22):
1.-THE speakers who dealt with
Victimization, gave the effect of
schoolboys going up for punishment
and begging that it should not be
too severe. Compare this with the
paragraph about Victlmizaton which
was part of the bargain between the
unions and the General Council!
That detailed and essential pedge
was simply ignored"
THE record was complete! If ever
L war was won on the field of bat
tie, the workers had won this fight.
They were ready to continue indef-
nitely, and had shown not sign of
weakening. But the peace had been
disastrously lost, not only for the min
ers, but for all the unions. directly ana

with the instructions of the General
Council, found themselves faced with

the country and there is no doubt that
the scabs will soon face a storm of

cations Of the United States.
Scabs Print Paper.
In the meantime the paper is print

that 1t is printed "by our own forces"

The joke of II Is that all the strikers
are members OF the religious Inde-
pendent Society that established the

away by the slick lawyer. None OF
the strikers was ever a member Of
any political party. They are plain

The Miners Battle on.
T TNFLINCHINGLY the miners have
- meanwhile stood their ground.
Their sound judgment in rejecting the
Samuel Memorandum was quickly JUS
titled, when Baldwin, instead of honor
ing the "gentlemen's agreement" made
for the government by Samuel, came
out with an entirely different proposal.
The miners held a national conference
on May 20, unanimously rejected the
Baldwin offers, which were even worse
than the original coal commission re-
port, and dispersed to their districts to
prepare for a battle of three or four
months.
One of the signs that the miners are
fighting to win, in splendid contrast to
the General Council, is that they have
accepted the financial help of the Rus
sian unions which the General Council
refused. They are also receiving help
from the Continent-Germany, France,
Czecho-Slovakia, etc. - and from
America.
WE have drawn the sword and
w thrown away the scabbard Of
compromise" are the words of A. ].
Cook, secretary of the Miners Fedora
ton, in the Sunday Worker Of May 20.
1.-THE miners, at least, neither intend
to 'grovep for peace, nor whine for a
degrading settlement. We are not
fighting for fghting's sake. The mo-
ment the government can submit terms
to us which will protect the miners
from wage reductions and increased
hours of labor We can have peace in
the coal industry"
The miners have sent letter to the
Transport and Railway Unions, ap-
pealing to them to place an embargo
upon scab coal. At this writing (the
oath day Of the miners lockout, 1t is
not yet clear what action these unions
will take in the matter. The leaders

LENINISTS WIN
GAME in ninth
Boxing, Wrestling and
Chess Other Features
At Youth Picnic
BY Al sehaap.

NEW YORK The first mass hike
led by the Young Workers League last
Sunday was a success. The Sports
Bureau laid out plans which were
carried out to the last detail.
At this hike there were members Of
the Young Workers League, Brown
svIIIe Youth Center, Williamsburg
Soccer Club and other sympathetic or
CARNATIONS. The mixers numbered
four hundred.
With each group Of twenty mixers,
a group captain was placed. That
made altogether twenty groups. Each
group carried Its number In the front
line headed by banner as follows:
Hike With The Young Workers
League"
The first fifteen groups left prompt
ly at nine o'clock from the Staten
Island Ferry. The second party of FIVE
groups left at ten.
All the mixers took their instruc-
lions in fine spirit. A motorcycle
which headed the mixers was used to
relay instructions down the line.
Every captain was supplied with a
whistle and red arm band and the
head captain with a siren. AS the
head captain gave instructions to the
motorcycle group to sing the Interna-
tional, this would be relayed down the
ranks and when the siren was blown
one grand marching chorus would be
heard.
At midway, the first group of the
mixers rested. Upon arrival of the
second group, the first group left.
Continuing their march, the mixers ar
rived at Silver Lake, S. 1. Here all
the mixers sat on hill where instruc-
tions for the day were issued.

the Bolsheviks. The Leninists won
"a nine inning battle by score of
thirteen to three. The feminist team
was quite effective in cutting on runs
at the home plate. Their pitcher
struck out ten Bolsheviks, walking but
two. This game had all the aspects
of a big league game, cheering squads
popped up the players to an exciting
degree. The base ball game was fol
lowed by soccer game which result
ed in a tie.
Boxing and wrestling matches were
also held with quite number OF
bloody noses as a result. While the
crimson flowed freely, all boxers and
wrestlers seemed satisfied in their
fun.
Another big event was the tug-Of-
war in which the girls ran away with
the husky chaps who could not hold
their ground. Twice the number OF
Pioneers were successful In dragging
a number of league members all over
the field. The Volgas ran away with
the Pulleys, taking them over a dis
lance Of twenty yards when they won.
Chess Championship.
While all these strenuous contests
were going on, an elimination contest
for chess championship ended with
five more players to contest. This
match will be followed up at a future
hike.
Discussion groups were also organ
lied and there were some heated
words battered around. No casual
ties, however, were reported. Singing
and other games were also part of
the program. The hour was too late
to stage the mass drill which was
planned beforehand.
At o'clock whistles blew galore.
This was the signal for the reforma-
ton of ranks and the hike toward
home was started.
On the ferry many Of the Italian
passengers were aroused to sympathy
by the singing Of 'Banderia Rossa."
Otherwise all American songs were
sung and when passing the Statue of
Liberty three cheers went up for "LIb-
erty is dead in Amerca Long live
Liberty!"
The groups disbanded at South Fer
ry looking forward to the next hike
which the Young Workers League will
soon run.
