PRESIDENT ASKS
ENGINEERS HELP
BRITISH STRIKE
Urges American Labor
Equal Russian Gift
Especial to The Daily worker)

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. "a direct
appeal to the workers of America to
support the striking miners of Great
Britain has been made over his sig
nature by Acting President L. G. Grif
fng, Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, in the organization
Journal for September. In addition
to this, individual letters have been
sent by the International headquar-
ters to each of the $4,000 members
of the brotherhood, urging them to
donate to the relief Of the British min
ers families.
Superb Herolsm.
President Grifing says in his signed
article:
In all trade union history there is
not a finer example of loyalty to Their
union nor to one another than
shown by these hard-pressed British
workers. With superb heroism they
are sticking out until they secure eco
nomic justice. even tho the power Of
the British tory government is ar
rayed against them"
Executives Resolve.
The message of President Grifing
recalls the fact that the recent meet
ing in Washington OF the Associated
Railway Union executives heard from
the delegation Of British miners then
touring the United States a story Of
a~t-ar,o b,pIeb =, +Io~ ,,,iv,o ALL
and that the executives meeting went
on record to make an appeal for con-
tributions.
The international unions among the
railroad organizations have not as yet
contributed directly, but several inter-
nationals connected with the A. f. OF
L. have given a thousand dollars or
so to the miners cause.
Follow Russian Example.
Grifing's message calls attention to
the gifts of the Russian workers in
these words:
The labor movements Of France.
Belgium, Germany, Russia and other
European countries are contributing
with equal generosity, one national
union having already collected and
sent in over two and one-half million
dollars for the miners relief fund.
And he adds in his appeal for con-
tributions wish that the American
workers may do as well: "T am con.
fdent that the workers Of America
and the members of this brotherhood
in particular will be equally respon-
sive to the dictates Of our common
humanity and the fraternal bond that
unites us with our brother workers of
all lands"

Show Agreement Existed
to Hide the Anthracite
Surrender From Miners
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL..

DURING the world war the heavy
- censorship, combined with the
fact that even so-called "independ-
ent writer's" were engulfed in the
tidal wave Of jingoism, prevented
the truth about the struggle being
told, except as it appeared in the
prescribed revolutionary press.
When the blood bath ended with the
truce between the contending capi-
talist nations, ambitious authors,
politicians and other spokesmen of
the established order began issuing
their books under the general high
sounding title, Now 1t Can Be
Told"
The same process unfolds itself,
gradually but inevitably, in the war
between the mine workers and the
mine owners, especially in the an
thracite fields of Pennsylvania.
There is this difference, however.
One Of the spokesmen for the hard
coal barons now declares that the
mine owners actually had an agree
ment with the miners officials to
suppress and hide the actual facts
about the traitor settlement that
was put over on the strikers at
Scranton, Pa, Wednesday, Feb. II,
1926 1t was as If the German
kaiser and the British king had got
ten together to frame a peace to
safeguard their own power, behind
the backs and against the interests
of the peoples of these two coun-
tries.
The mine owners spokesman de-
clares:
mot much was said in the news
papers at the time Of the settle
ment of the anthracite strike
as to the extent of labor's defeat in
this conflict. To make as little talk
as possible, out of respect to labor,
was part of the agreement, and
all parties to the agreement acted
accordingly.
"Since then, however, the settle.
ment has become fully public and
the defeat which the labor inter-
ests suffered has been gradually
recognized"
In order to carry out his part of
this compact with the mine owners,
President John L. Lewis crushed all
opposition in the Scranton Tri.Dis-
trict Convention called to ratify the
agreement.
When Delegate Ed Scharfenberg
arose alone, among the hundreds of
delegates, to challenge the surren-
der to the mine owners and to ex-
pose the nature Of the pact with the
bosses, President Lewis, as chair.
man, ordered his expulsion from the
convention. Not one delegate dared
continue the fight.
At that time The DAILY WORK.
Err exposed the foul nature Of the
base surrender. In its issue of
Monday, Feb. Is, It ran a heavy
black border entirely around its
first page, and the headline told the
story in three words, MINERS
BLACK FRIDAY" There was cause
for mourning. At that time The
DAILY WORKER raised the slo.
gan. LEWIS MUST Coz"
The coal miners are today realiz.
ing more and more the full extent
of the defeat that President Lewis
forced upon them seven months ago.
Now that the truth of what The
DAILY WORKER charged last win
ter is becoming generally known, It
is not necessary for a tool of the
mine owners to declare that, "the

SAM GOMPERS
ON The MEXICAN
QUESTION, 1924
What Will Green Say at
Detroit Meet?
Especial to The Daily worker)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. - Samuel
Gompers, in his speech Of greeting
to the delegates of the Mexican Re
gional Confederation of Labor who
visited the convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor at Ell Paso
on INV. II, 1924, hailed the present
regime dn Mexico as the work of the
labor movement.
The Federated Press, in view Of dis
cussion as to whether the A. F. of L.
should abandon its afilation with
Mexican labor, reproduces, in the
week of Labor Day of 1926, part
of that greeting:
Good viii and Fraternity.
Men and women of labor of Mexi-
CO." he began, 'fthrice welcome to the
convention of the American Fedora
tion of Labor. Ten years ago no such
united gathering could have taken
place between the workers represent
atives of Mexico and those of the
United States.
Time, circumstance and expert
ence have demonstrated to us that if
you and we and those whom we rep
resent shall maintain the high ideals
OF organized labor of our respective
countries, nothing but fraternity, good
will and mutual interest will serve the
people of both republics.
Stirred by Feeling.
"In the by-gone days adventurers
and profit-mongers have taken advan-
tage Of situations to stir up ill-feeling
ON both sides of the line. We believe
and time has verified this belief in
to a conviction, that If the men and
women of toll in Mexico, and the
men and women of toll in the United
States, were organized and manifest
ed goodwill toward each other, the
profit-mongers would be driven back
and goodwill established among the
peoples and the nations which we
have the honor to represent.
Mexico! Obregon, Gales, Trevino
and Morones united to make Mexico.
I'm the name of the men and wom-
en- who toll in our country, the spirit
of the men and women OF this conven-
tion interpreting the hopes and ideals
of American workers, I bid you and
your associates welcome to this con-
vention, and wish for you all success
in the attainment and achievement Of
he hopes and ideals of Mexican toll
ers and Mexican statesmen and pa
triots, that we may live to help in
the peace, not only of our two coun.
.ries, but in the peace Of the whole
world"
Went to Mexico.
Following that convention, which
was marked by great enthusiasm for
the cause OF the Mexican workers,
President Gompers and the executive
council, with many other delegates,
travelled to Mexico City as guests OF
the government, to witness the inau-
guration OF President Gales and to
attend the meeting Of the Pan-Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor. He stood
between Gen. obregon, the retiring
chief executive, and Gales his success
sor and friend, on the balcony OF the
national palace on the night OF the In
auguration, sharing with them the
honors Of that historic event. Within
a few days his last illness came upon

New Dress For Miss
Wolf Point Herald

Everybody and everything likes
new clothes once in a while-the
girls, of all ages. and Mother Ma
ture and her children Even a
newspaper looks better with a
change of dress after the old one
is old and frayed SO The Herald
is celebrating New Years in a
brand new and nifty dress for its
news columns. This was accom-
plished by buying a new set of 8
point mats" for the Linotype,
which will cast lines that print
clear, legible and free from hair
lines" The old mats" had gone
to the bad and could not be made
to cast good lines. The type face
selected is slightly different from
the old and it is hoped readers
will like it. The head letters are
the same as before. Incidentally
the package of new matrix, which
would go into an overcoat pocket,
cost upwards of one hundred
bones. Another indication that
printing is not all profit. Expensive
equipment that will bring other
improvements to the paper have
been ordered.
