ROYAL COMMISSION SUPPORTS
CORPORATION IN ATTACK ON THE
MILITANT NOVA SCOTIA MINERS

EDITORS NOTE: The heroic
struggle of the miners of Nova Scotia,
Canada, against the crushing down of
their wages by the British Empire
Steel Corporation. known as "Besco"
to the workers of Canada, resulted in
the federal government appointing a
commission to investigate the situa-
ton AS was to be expected the com
mission has upheld the corporation on
every point, and has issued report
that not only supports the corporation
in reducing the miners wages but
also threatens the existence of the
United Mine Workers in that district
The following article written by
Jim McLachlan, militant leader Of the
Nova Scotia miners, should be of in
terest to all workers, and especially
the anthracite and bituminous miners
who are struggling today in this coun-
try against the attacks of the opera
tors.

Class warfare GOT Results.
Both Besco and the commission APP
peared to be all worked up because
the miners had injected into their
life and their struggles some of the
teachings and tactics Of the Commu-
nists, but both failed to show where
the miners had not benefited by these
tactics. AS matter of fact the re-
port shows the exact opposite. The
report says that the miners were JUS
titled in resisting the wage reduction
in the year 1922 But it was exactly
in that year that the miners put up
an effective fight by striking on the
job and finally calling their first
hundred per cent strike. BY these
tactics they raised their wage by over
eighty cents per day. The Commits
sion also says that the Corporation
would have been justified in reducing
the wages in the year 1923. But in
that year Dan Livingstone and the
men who believed in any method Of
warfare that brought results to the
miners were in Office and Besco knew
that cut in that year with these men
at the head of the union, meant a 100
per cent. strike and any other thing
that was calculated to bring results
for the workers. The commission is
very hard on the. 100 per cent strike.
This is what it. has to say on that
head: 3t7I
at is inconceiyable that reasonable
persons could look upon such action
(the 100 per cent strike) with favor
or tolerance"
The men in Office in 1923, like the
Communists, were not overburdened
with a superstitious reverence for
what was "incenceiYable to reasonable
persons" hence. that reduction in
wage rates was not pulled off in 1923
The commission has dealt lightly
with the capitalization of the com
pany. They show that some $4,000
900 of water has been injected into
the corporation at one time or an
other. The commission says that when
Besco comes to add its little item OF
100000 of water:
at apparently followed, in the cap
italization of its assets and the issue
of organization stock, practice which
had been adopted by its constituent
companies at their inception, and a
practice which we are advised has not
been uncommon in Canadian compan.
les"
So they are all doing it, and when
the miners call a 100 per cent strike
