that Mellett was murdered by either
one of the interested parties" in the

unearthed to reveal the identity of
the murderer.

cause of his vice crusading activities,

prefer to have the movement known
as a Strike" Abstention from work,

"The National League For The De-

a boycott campaign in an effort to
bring things to a stand-still in Mexico.
The movement is chiefly supported by
priest-ridden women of whom there
are many in Mexico. 1t is, however,
doomed to failure from the beginning.

Assail Coolidge's
Stand on Farm Relief

DIES MONIES, Ia, July 49, The
committee Of 20 that unsuccessfully
fought for the passage of the Nc
Nary Haugen farm aid bill plans to
hold a conference here tomorrow as
to the means to be used at the COM
ing winter session of Congress to en-
act farm relief legislation.
II is planned to introduce a resolu-
ton at the state republican conven-
ton held here Wednesday condemn
ing President Coolidge for his failure
to aid in passing farm relief legisla-
ton and indorsing the stand taken by
Col. Smith Wildman Brookhart and
Senator Albert B. Cummins that the
republican party neglected to carry
out its promise of aiding the farmers.

reason, and big one, why the coal
miners themselves. should be in
creasingly active.
The British miners are fighting on
unwaveringly in spite of all OBJ
stacles. The treachery of the gen.
eral council of the British Trade
Union Congress, in calling off the
general strike, is now well known.
Every effort to bring the general
council to account, at a conference
of trade union executives, has been
baked. Such a conference was to
have been convened on June 25 But
1t was postponed. And in addition
the miners officials have agreed not
to criticize the actions of the gen.
eral council. All this is dangerous
to the miners strike. 1t gives the
general council time and opportuni-
ty for new betrayals. And there are
many such opportunities.
The conservatives used the fact
that Russian workers were sending
increasing aid to the British coal
strike, to launch a new attack
against the Union of Soviet Repub-
lies. The members of labor's gen.
eral council, who betrayed the
strike, came out with half-hearted
reply to the vicious attack of the
right wing Of conservatives on the
Soviet Union. They did this, very
apparently, in an effort to cover up
their own treason to the workers in
Great Britain.
All this is much more apparent
to labor in the Soviet Union, that
has been thoroly schooled against
treason in its own ranks, than it is
to British workers, who. are still
learning their bitter lessons in the
hard school of experience, and even
less so to American labor, that
quietly aequiesces in the open
alliances of its officials with its en-
ployers.
1t is under pressure from the So
Wet workers that the British labor
officialdom has agreed to a meeting
of the Anglo-Russian Trade Union
Unity Committee in Paris, July rs,
to discuss more effective aid to the
striking miners.
The workers of the United States
will not be represented at this con-
ferences thru actual representa-
tives. But their voice. can be heard
thru the sending of sufficient relief
funds to hearten the workers in
their struggle and to serve notice
on the general council of the British
Trade Union Congress that Amer
lean labor is with the rank and file
of British labor.
American workers should learn
all the facts about the British mine
\ strike. That will inevitably result
in greater sympathy and solidarity
between the workers on both sides
Of the Atlantic. 1t will lead to greater
efforts to halt all coal shipments to
England with the appeal to miners
and transport workers of, "No scab
coal to England" American work
ers must organize real support of
the British coal miners strike.

flower day in New Britain and asked
the committee from New Haven and
Hartford to help with the collection,
as it is expected that $500 should be
raised there. The work is securing
the cooperation of trade unions and
workers fraternal organizations.
The committee also organized for
the same date a flower day in West
Haven and Saven Rock and called on
the New Haven organization to help
with this work.
In this drive the following cities
raised close to $1,000 each: Water
bury, Bridgeport, New Haven, Hart
ford, Ansonia and Stamford. Good
work was also done by New Britain,
by Naugatock and New London. A
large amount was also raised in
Springfield. Mass. which worked in
cooperation with the state committee.

Copeland Accuses the
Government of Aiding
the Coal Mine Owners

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10. -
Senator Royal S. Copeland has de-
manded that Coolidge find a way to
prevent repetition of last winters
fuel disputes and coal shortage" He
charges that Coolidge's recent attitude
encourages the mine owners opposi-
ton to any interference with their
business"
"For the president to encourage this
attitude is to defeat every formal re-
commentator he has made to the
congress-" says Copeland. ut gives
an air of insincerity to the excuse
made last winter that the president
has no power to deal with the coal
problem"

Organize Real Support
of Courageous Struggle
of British Coal Miners
BY ]. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

THE million striking coal miners
L of Great Britain bitterly need
the assistance of the million coal
miners of the United States.
Americas miners cannot sit idly
by expecting their officials to attend
to this matter satisfactorily. They
must themselves be on the job,
actively and persistently.
Only the great masses of the work
ers can win labor's victories, and
they must often do this in spite Of
their officials. Increasing relief of
the British mine strike, that has
now ragged nearly three months and
that has received but little support
from the workers of the United
States, must surge upwards from
the ranks of American labor.
One of the weakest links in the
British strike chain, just as it is in
the battles of the American labor
movement, is the offlcialdom itself.
Thus the masses of workers in this
country must rush support to the
British strikers, even If it has to
be done in spite of the offlcialdom,
to provide the workers on the other
side of the Atlantic with the sinews
of struggle to carry on the war
against the exploiters, even if it has
to be done in spite of compromising
officials.
American coal miners have had
their bitter experiences. Take in
the one state of West Virginia
alone. In 1913, Tom Haggerty, an
executive board member of the
United Mine Workers of America
told the writer that it would be
easy to organize the entire state of
West Virginia. Then why was it
not done? The answer may be found
in the fact that Hagerty is not now
on the side of the miners. He is
instead mine owner. He was not
interested in unionizing the miners
of the state one hundred per cent.
The miners union has been all but
completely broken in this state.
Nevertheless, the spirit of union
ism again flares in the Fairmont
Field.
Similarly, Tom L. Lewis, former
president of the United Mine Work
ers, the highest official position in
the gift Of the miners, is now an
agent of the New River (West vir-
ginia) Mine Operators Association.
Only recently William B. Wilson,
former secretary-treasurer of the
miners union, who was later sent
to congress and then became Sec
rotary of labor in Wilson's cabinet,
was revealed as a West Virginia
mine owner.
1t cannot be expected that Presi-
dent John L. Lewis, who wants to
become a secretary of labor in
Coolidge's cabinet, the instrument
of the government Of the employers,
will exert himself to aid the miners
strike in Great Britain, against the
capitalist government of that coun-
try, any more than he fights the
capitalist government of the United
States. But that is just another

Police as eootIeaaers.

A charge that five Chicago police
men aided in the transportation Of a
Cicero shipment and paid $4,000 for
their part in 1t was under investiga
ton here today by Chief of Police
Collins.
In the episode, it was said, the five
bluecoats were promised 800 each
but got nothing, incidentally having
their stars and guns taken from them
They were said to have raised and
paid $4,000 for return Of their stars,
fearing exposure if they reported for
duty without them.

FARM relief
aim OF CORN
BELT MEET
Liable To Hand The
Bird To Cabin

DIES MONIES, Iowa, July t9.-Farm
relief leaders from "a states met here
today as members of the corn belt
committee of % to discuss the next
steps to be taken in the campaign for
farm relief at the hands of congress
and perhaps deliver a ehastisement to
the administration for it's attitude to-
ward agriculture.
The committee, organized several
months prior to the time the corn
area conference of % came into ex-
istence at the midwestern agricultu-
raj conference here in January, has a
somewhat similar program to that of
the latter group, but the dirt farmers
slant on the situation is claimed by
farm group leaders to be more en-
phasized by the committee of %,
which is headed by William Hirth of
Columbia, Mo.
The More Conservative Group.
The committee of % will meet here
tomorrow at the call of George n.
Peek of Moline, III. Both groups are
committed to a federal-subsidized ex-
port corporation, and this weeks ses-
sions are the first since the defeat Of
the McNary- Haugen bill.
Many members Of the committee Of
% are included in the personnel of the
committee of % and fear was ex-
pressed today by Milo Reno, president
of the Iowa Farmers Union, that an
effort would be made to sidetrack the
more advanced" dirt farmers issues
by the committee of %, which he
characterized as a creature of poll
tics"
Cooperative Marketing Urged.
The committee of % has endorsed
a crop price based on cost of produc-
ton, cooperative marketing of all
farm products, as well as the prin-
ciples of the McNary- Haugen bill.
Col Smith W. Brookhart, radical
victor for the republican nomination
for the United States senate over Sen
ator A. D. Cummins, was expected to
meet with the committee of % today
in an advisory capacity.
To Hand Cal the Dirt.
Brookhart's lead of 10000 over the
veteran Cummins, following the
colonel's ousting by the senate and
the seating of Dan G. Steck, was ex-
pected today to find an echo in the
deliberations of the committee. If the
dirt farmer group maintains its SUI
premacy, it was predicted the admin
istration would come in for hiding, :"
as one member expressed It,
There were predictions that the
committee of % would start a Low

row. which would be carried into the
republican state convention here the

Home and nonunion workers on

have enabled manufacturers to cut ex-

were kept at the old high levels.
