Support Strike.
We are supporting the British min.
ers' strike in the full realization that
its successful outcome is of the most
tremendous significance to the entire
world labor movement. A defeat Of
the British miners would be disaster

be allowed to happen. The reaction.
airy leadership Of the General Council
OF the British Trades Union Congress
betrayed the miners by calling off the
magnificent general strike and leaving
them to fight the battle alone against
the powerful and jubilant capitalist
class. They have continued this be.

upon the hauling and handling of scab
coal. But Il Is our duty to do what.

these misleaders and to help the

The seditious plot, which had

in the federal district, was discovered
thru an exhaustive search Of the
houses and living quarters of some of
those arrested. Papers and documents
thus found disclosed full details of the
plot, enabling the government to take
the necessary precautionary measures
to Illustrate the conspiracy.

Stop Coal.
The organized workers of America
are in a position to materially assist
the British miners. First, they can
check the shipment of scab coal to
Great Britain. In Norfolk, Baltimore,
and other southern ports, scores Of
ships are now either loading or have
loaded coal designed to break the
British strike. You must demand that
organized labor use its utmost efforts
to prevent the shipment OF this coal.
The union railroad men must refuse
to haul IL from the mines to the docks.
and the union transport workers must
refuse to ship 1t to England. All

COOK ACCUSES
mac DONALD Of
refusing AID
Beware of Lies About
Mine Strike Peace


LONDON, Aug. ~ Speaking at
Perth In South Wales, A. J. Cook, sec
rotary Of the British Miners Fedora
tion, caused a sensation by saying
that the miners, when they asked
Ramsay Macdonald to send a message
to America eontradietins the lies of
Premier Baldwin concerning the con-
ditions in the mine fields, had refused.
Baldwin Lied.
Baldwin had cabled to America to
the effect that the suffering Of the
families Of the strikers was "exag-
gerated' and that thera really was no
suffering and American should not
send any relief funds. This is out
.rageously false, and clearly an attempt
to sabotage the gathering of relief
funds for the strikers from American
labor.
That Ramsay Macdonald should
have SO openly taken the side of the
mine operators and the Tory govern
ment is causing a sensation. But Il IS
surprising addition to learn that
Cook said: "Mr. Lloyd George is going
to do so Contradict Baldwin's false
hoods and he is going to tell the
truth"
Beware OF FaIsehoodsl
The government is bending every
effort to break the miners union and
drive the men back to work, and
American readers will be we'll advised
to take so-called peace near stories
and tales about Strike ending with
grain of salt. These stories are
flooding America merely to make
American workers believe relief is no
longer necessary, and cease giving
funds.
This sort OF British government
propaganda should be fatty denied
and the relief fund movement inten-
sified to the limit, for by enough aid
the miners can win, and American la,
Dor must and can furnish funds to
do it.
Mine Owners Tactics.
An example of the mine owners
tactics is sS.n in Warwickshire. where
they concentrated on getting the min
ers broken in morale. The suffering
of the miners there is terrible. and
the owners used the utmost effort ~
get them away from the union. Red
scare" leaflets were distributed, paid
owners agents visited every miners
howell, threatening and promising, to
get the miners back. The police aided
by attacking the miners union when
It carried on a counter publicity
For while the owners made some
showing, opening a few pits, but Cook
came down along with other union Of
ficials and succeeded in turning the
tide with appeals to the miners 10
stand firm. There is only one pit now
operating on a small scale as a result.
Use Traitors Article.
One thing the owners have been
quick to use IS the article by John
Bromley, secretary of the engineers
and firemen's union, attacking the
miners union in the Locomotive Jour.
nal. The owners quickly picked this
up, reprinted II in hand bills and
spread them over the country. trying
to discourage the miners and beget a
spirit Of doubt.
The British miners need help, and
will win II they get it.

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. II. The

represent an increase of So per cent

Excel Peak Shipments.
The reason why is found in this
news item from the Norfolk Ledger
Dispatch:
'Ships are coming into Hamp-
ton Roads in a steady stream with
cavernous holds empty for coal
with which to feed the fires and
industries of Europe. The pilots,
tug-boat captains, stevedores and
all who are directly connected
with the water front say that there
is more movement in the harbor
now than at any time since the
peak of shipping in 1919 and 1920.
The previous records for coal
dumping over the three railway
piers in Hampton Roads have
been surpassed"
Harbor congested.
So great is the congestion of ships
in this spacious harbor that officials
have posted the following notice:
agents of steamers arriving in
Hampton Roads for cargoes of
coal are not to order their ships
to coal piers until space for them
to berth is available. Barge mas
tiers watching for cargoes are re-
quested to keep their. craft in

BOSTON is not only the hub of
~ American culture, but it is also
the motherland of Nordicism. Which
means that Boston is the repository Of
all the virtues fit to print. Among
those virtues is cleanliness. But even
cleanliness must step aside in the in
terests of economy. The staid Boston
Herald discovered that city hall en-
ployes were in the habit of busting
desks and wiping cuspidors with tow
els. The laundry casualty list was
one thousand towels a week. New
administrations, like new brooms, are
supposed to sweep clean, but new
Boston administration, perhaps backed
by the Herald, stopped the use of tow
els in the city. Let us hope, only on
the cuspidors.
