eral Strike
Especial to The Daily Worker,

LONDON, May 26-The coal strike,
now in its fifth week, shows no signs
of settlement Neither the mine work
ers or owners are making any steps
towards breaking the deadlock. The

what support they can get from the
rest of the labor movement in Britain
and contributions from abroad.
Funds Come In.
Funds are being received daily from
Europe and Russia. The rank and
file Of the other British unions are do.
ing their best to aid the million min
ers still out. The miners themselves,
altho great suffering reigns in some
sections of the coal fields, have given
no indication of wavering.
The effects of the coal strike are
everywhere apparent. The coal short
age is now becoming acute. Train
service is severely curtailed.
clynes Condemns Strike.
The right wing labor leaders, Mac
Donald, Thomas, Clynes and others,
are condemning the use Of the gen.
eral strike in speeches in and out OF
parliament. In a speech today, J. r.
clynes, Lord Privy Seal in the labor
cabinet and one of those responsible
for calling off the general strike, con-
demned the general strike as an in
dustrial weapon.
Cook Still at II.
A. J. Cook. the miners secretary,
continues his attack upon the general
council OF the Trade Union Congress
for calling OFF the strike at the time
the workers were showing their great
est strength. When Thomas was asked
today to reply, he said he would make
no answer at present.

UNITY. grows in,
SACCO-vANZETT|
FREEDOM drive
Debs Issues Appeal to
American Labor

A genuine unity Of front and action
on national scale, embracing every
shade of llberaIT radical, and labor
opinion, is swiftly developing In the
protest movement against the pro-
posed assassination of Nicola Sacco
and Bartolomeo Vanzetti.
Men leading in the labor movement,
socialist spokesman, Communists, pro-
gressives, liberals, anarchists, mem
bers of the Industrial Workers of the
World, are all joining hands for the
cause of the two Italian workers. Not
for years has single issue so univers-
ally attracted the support of men and
women active in the cause of progress
and freedom and labor as this one.
Debs Issues Statement.
From his sick-bed in Terre Haute,
Indiana, Eugene V. Debs, known to
the workers in every land, writes to the
international Labor Defense: II am
not now in condition to take up my
work, but am up only that l may
speak my word for Sacco and Van
zetti. 1t has been on my conscience
ever since that brutal verdict was
handed down by those cold-blooded
capitalist judges in Massachusetts.
One would think that .he workers
would rise in spontaneous unanimity
all over the country to resent this in
famous outrage which is nothing less
than vicious assault upon the whole
labor movement" ..,
With this letter, the old fighter for
labor and freedom, encloses an appeal
to American labor which is a ringing
call to action, and sounds the tocsin
for the fight to give Sacco and Van
zetti their life and freedom.
Urges Thousand Protest Meetings.
"A thousand protest meetings
should be called at once and ring with
denunciation of the impending crime"

millions of the nation and swear by
all you hold sacred in the cause of
labor and in the cause of truth and
justice and all things of good report,

PARIS, May 26-simon Petlura is
dead. The counter-revolutionary gen.

ing the anti-SoVet drive of 1e1e-191e,
met his end at the hand of Samuel
Schwartzbar, a Ukrainian Jew. Pet
lura was shot and killed on the BouIe-
ward st. Michel in the Latin Quarter.
Schwartzbar said he killed PetIura
because ne was "a demon with the
blood of hundreds of ukralnians,
especially Jews, on his hands,"
Petlura was driven from the Ukraine
by the victorious Red Army in 1920,
at the time of the war with Poland.
Since then he has been in Paris and
other western capitals, associating
with Russian exiles and sharing their
rather vain hopes of a return to power.

was constant warfare marked by num-
