POLICE ATTACK
MINER PICKETS
Use Tear Gas Bombs on
Striking Workers
BY a Young Worker Correspondent.

BY Young Worker Correspondent.
MCINTYRE, w. Va, July 2S.--As
500 men, women and children were
marching along the public highway
here to the Big Four mines, where a
public mass meeting was being held
by the union miners, deputy sheriffs
and police attacked the demonstration.
The Big Four mine is working under
the 1917 scale.
Stops Picket Line.
The pickets were marching single
file along the highway when they were
stopped by the county sheriff and state
police. They were ordered not to go
any further, as it was a violation of
the coal company's Injunction against
picketing. The pickets Immediately
sent for the union officials.
When the union officials arrived
they were afraid at first to lead the
violation of the injunction. The mem
bers of the union were eager to vio-
late the anti-picketing order and ex-
pressed their determination to attend
the mass meeting at the Big Four
mine. Finally the officials agreed to
lead the march.
Use Gas Bombs.
The state police then began their
dirty work. They sought to break up
the picketing demonstration with their
guns and gas bombs. One of the state
police hit a striker over the head with
a club and knocked him into ditch.
The sheriff then arrested the four
officials of the union that were leading
the march.
The police and yellow dogs are here
to aid the scab operators to break the
strike of the miners organization.
They are doing everything in their
power to break the strike. They will
never succeed in breaking the union.
Scabs Grow Fewer.
The marches Of the miners are hav-
ing their effect. The scabs who work
for $3.50 under the protection of the
yellow dogs are becoming fewer each
day Many of those that have been
misled into scabbing on their fellow
miners are now joining the strike and
the union.
My father is member of the United
Mine Workers of America. He was
already been on strike in this section
of northern West Virginia fifteen
months. We live in the union bar
racks near Shinsston, West Virginia.
l am only young boy, but l believe in
the unity of the working class.

ahChbo anu QO1SNIos
Investigate News.
Not single note appearing in any
OF our papers demanding investigation
remains without thoro inquiry being
conducted. The village correspond
ends are interested in all such situa-
tons and are drawn into useful pub
lie activity. None of the correspond
ends are elected or appointed. We
simply work according to our own
desires.
Newspapers.
Besides the central and provincial
newspapers, we also establish village
or factory wall newspapers. The
rights of the wall newspapers are the
same as those of the central and
lother newspapers. j. e., the voice of
these wall newspapers is also needed
and various measures conducted in
connection with the indications given
in the paper. The wall newspapers
are of special value when any politi-
cal or public campaigns are being
conducted; they either conduct agita-
tional-propaganda work, or else de-
nounce shady deals of various per-
sons or organizations.
Under our Soviet regime we may
criticize anyone wo like in the press,
commencing from an ordinary citi-
zen right up to the supreme authori-
ties-the only thing is that these
criticisms must not be merely verbal
but must be based on concrete facts.
Obtain Real Results.
You. will. probably already have
seen on several occasions in the So
Wet central organs statistical inform
alton on the measures which our So
Wet government has enforced. The
press shows how many people occupy
ing various public posts have been
brought to trial, how many excluded
from the party, what laws have been
modified, etc. 1t is apparent from
this that our labors do not remain
empty sound, but produce results in
the strengthening of the proletarian
state. There is not a single aspect
of the activity of our state apparatus
which is not widely discussed by the
masses themselves, and it is we work
ers and village correspondents who
are the ears and eyes Of these masses.
Defects and Errors.
Side by side with our successes and
achievements there are also defects

LONDON, July 2S.-The National
Sailors and Firemen's Union, Off
cered by the most reactionary of Brit

has found that the Amsterdam Inter
national Transport Federation is 'po-
liticap and has withdrawn from af-
filiation to the international.
The excuse given by the Havelock
Wilson oficialdom is that the inter-
national federation is more of po-
litical association than a trade union. -
Wilson accuses the secretary Of the
international, Edo Fimmen OF Hol.
land, Of issuing manifestos whose ef.
feet, says Havelock Wilson, has been
to "mislead" the workers of all
Europe.
Trade unionists recall that II was
Havelock Wilson who went into the
capitalist courts Of Great Britain and
asked for an injunction TO prevent the
General Council OF the British Trade
Union Congress from calling out the
members Of the N. s. +. U. in the
general strike, thus contributing to
its betrayal by the general council.
Recently 81 William JOHNSON Hicks,
home secretary and "red batter" re-
fused Edo Fimmen the right to enter
England, alleging that Fimmen had
tried TO interfere with British trade
by trying to get British vessels held
up in foreign ports during the general
strike"

BALDWIN AGAIN
REFUSES PEACE
IN The MINES
Fig hts Reorganization
with Subsidy Excuse

LONDON, July 2S.-Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin has again refused to
consider the proposals for a settle
ment of the coal miners strike pro.
posed by the churchmen. The matter
was brought up by David Lloyd
George in the house of commons, say.
ing it was the best opportunity yet
given to Baldwin.
Baldwin's reply was that the pro-
posal was bound up with a subsidy to
the coal industry, and the govern
ment would not accept that. But the
proposal Of the ecclesiastlcs went be-
yond this. The subsidy was to run
for only a short time-four months
during which the mines were to be re-
organized. II is this reorganization
that is the real point Of objection by
the government, as the mine owners
oppose It.
The proposal provided that the min
ers resume work at the old scale, sup
ported by the subsidy, while reorgani-
cation is going on. The reorganization
would make either wage cut or a
subsidy continuance unnecessary, II is
claimed.
The executive OF the Miners Fed
Grafton is calling a meeting OF min.
ers' delegates for next Friday, in part
at least 10 consider this question, al.
tho the executive accepted II recently
when made. TIL government then re.
fused and is sticking by It's refusal.

On completing his recent tour of

appointed manager of the Chicago
Freiheit.
The Freiheit plans to increase its
reading material to eight pages-a
two-page increase over the present

The Chicago Freiheit at it's new
headquarters, at 1909 W. Roosevelt
road, is entering a new epoch. Among
the plans is one to satisfy a great
need Of the Chicago labor movement.
Heretofore it was not possible for the
Freiheit to reflect the Chicago labor
movement as it should. A Chicago
edition, with its own editorial staff,
under the management of Comrade
A. Ravitch, will seek to do this.
