REPUBLIC, Pa, Feb. Republic
is located in Fayette county, the cen
ter of the coke region. In 1922, a
strike took place here and the field
was organized 100 per cent by the
United Mine Workers of America.
While the miners put UP a good fight,
the strike was finally lost thru be-
trayal by John l.. Lewis. Since that
time numerous strikes have taken
place, but the operators with the aid
of the state police. have suppressed
them. The last strike which took
place in the first part OF November
was supported in fact, led by the
Workers (Communist) Party and the
Young Workers (Communist) League.
The capitalist papers spilled the
beans stating the real cause of the
arrest of Papcun. The Uniontown
Morning Herald, for example, states:
State police have been seeking Pap
cum for several months in connection
with the spreading radical literature
and for speeches he delivered. They
received word that he would speak
at Franklin Hall Union Town, Sunday
at 2:30 o'clock but arrived too late to
apprehend him"
Some of this story is bunk as the
police were in the hall when the
meeting started. The charge Of sedi-
tion was made by Corporal Willard of
the New Salem barracks. According
to those present the seditious speech
Of Papcun consisted Of calling upon
the workers to join the United Mine
Workers to help form labor party,
and join the Workers (Communist)
Party.
The miners in this field have been
reduced to and below the 1917 scale
for union fields. Day workers receive
only 81 and SIS per day. In face Of
these conditions the miners are now
talking general strike, and many are
joining the United Mine Workers.
This is getting under the skin of the
employers as those joining the union
are doing so on the recommendation
Of the Workers (Communist) Party
and the Young Workers (Commun-
ist) League.
The hearing Of Comrade Papcun
will be held before Squire MoCombs
at New Salem. This justice has a re-
putation for the railroading to jail
workers who participated in strikes in
this domain of the coal barons. The

JAIL MILITANT
Officials Try to Stop
Progressive Meeting
q. L. D. News servlce)

CLEVELAND, Feb. Thomas Nc
Namara, member Of the Hold Carriers
Building and Common Laborers' of
America was arrested by detectives at
his home on the charge Of falsely
misrepresenting a union organiza-
ton" He was taken to the county
Jail and held under $500 bond.
Mcnamara is connected with the
progressives in his union and this
fact is responsible for his arrest. The
members of local 80 were called to
a mass meeting on Sunday afternoon,
Jan. "a to take up certain matters af-
fecting their interests both in rela-
ton to the employers and the officials
of the union.
On Saturday, Jan. 20, Mcnamara
was served with an injunction petit
ton filed by the officials Of local $40
asking that the local be restrained
from holding the meeting advertised
on the handful. Mcnamara declared
that he would ignore the petition. The
injunction had not then been granted.
HIS arrest followed.
The local representatives Of the
International Lobar Defense got busy
and provided bail. Mcnamara was re.
leased few hours before the meeting
was scheduled to start He was at
the meeting place on time. The react
ionary union officials were present at
the meeting and warned those who at
tended that their cards would be
taken away from them. Despite these
union threats the meeting attended by
about two hundred members of the
union went right ahead. A police Of
ficer appeared. The union officials de-
manded that he arrest Mcnamara. The
officers stated that no injunction had
been granted, that the meeting was
peaceful one and shouldn't be dis
turbed.

Paterson Silk Workers
United Front Defeats
Textile Bosses Plans
BY ART SHIELDS
Federated Press.

PATERSON, N. j., Feb. 1.-The
third week of the 44-hour strike move
ment in Paterson finds the biggest silk
company in Passaic Co., the Henry L.
Doherty concern of Clifton, a suburb
of Paterson, shut down. There is no
longer a single sizeable silk mill in
the county working more than the a.
hours a week set by the January
ultimatum Of the Associated Silk
Workers of America and the United
Textile Workers Union, the two or
CARNATIONS that have been co-operat-
ing in the drive.
Fifty smaller concerns, yielded the
44-hours in the first days after the
time limit. Most of the other mills in
the town were already on the required
schedule. Now only some so-called
family" shops and one mill with so
workers, are in the overtime class.
That is, in the regular silk mills. The
dye houses are unorganized, and the
4S-hour week prevails.
Paterson's success with its united
front union movement is expected to
be good object lesson to other tex.
tile communities where union rivalries
have played into the hands Of the
long-work-day manufacturers. In Con-
necticut the 55-hour week is COM
mon in wool, cotton and silk. And in
Massachusetts, the Arkwright (manu-
facturers) Club, taking advantage of
union discussions, is pressing for a
repeal of the 4S-hour law.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Opponents
of the world court have already laid
detailed plans for carrying on the
fight to get the United States out of
the court by defeating those who
voted for it. The groundwork of a
national campaign has been laid to
force the administration to retrace its
steps.
In Massachusetts, former senator,
David l. Walsh, will challenge Cool

who must run for election this time in
order to hold the seat to which he was
appointed on the death of Lodge.
Similar situations face other pro-

which was completely in the hands OF
the reactionary elements, several pro-
gressive and Communist delegates
from local unions were unseated and
decision made to file only a partial
ticket in the city elections. This lat
ter decision was looked upon by all
progressive workers as a manifesto
ton Of another alliance with the
O'Connor forces.
The workers have come to know
and fear these alliances. For the past
several years their interests have
been betrayed because Of the desire
of few labor politicians to assure
their reelection by means of these
alliances. In the last city campaign
the alliance was so open that the
O'Connor crowd conducted labors'
campaign even to the extent of dis
regarding the regularly elected farmer
labor executive committee. In the
congressional campaign that followed
the headquarters, telephone, heat,
light, office furniture, and part of the
finances were furnished by this gang
and of course they conducted the cam
paign. Both of these campaigns gave
returns to the leaders-and defeat to
the workers.

Reactionaries Worried.

The militancy shown by the pro-
gressives has thrown CONSERVATION
into the ranks of the reactionary
forces. They Immediately issued a
statement to the capitalist press in
which they charged the progressives
with being Character assassins, /"
"splitters," agents of Moscow" etc.
Their attacks were widely displayed
by the capitalist press.
The resentment Of the rank and file
against the policy of the leadership is
so great, however, that they cannot
hide behind a name calling campaign.
Many leaders in the past have resort
ed to such attacks but in each case
the leadership has been forced to ac-
count to the workers for their betray-
ais.
The present leadership of the St.
Paul farmer-labor party will be no
exception. The progressives demand
the ending Of all alliances with cap
italist politicians. The party as a
whole will sooner or later support
them in that demand.
The reactionaries have now issued
a call for regular convention to be
held in the same building on the same
night. The progressives express a
willingness to again unite the ranks
of the party by joining the two con-
ventions with the proviso that all dele
gates be seated and that the demands
OF the left wing be accepted and car
ried out.
Try to Force Split.
II becomes more apparent daily that
the present leadership is trying to
force a split in the party. Their al
liances with the old parties have been
vigorously opposed by the progress
sives. In the statements to the press
the leadership has done everything
possible to provoke the progressives.
They construed the fight against their
betrayals as a split" and expressed
good radiance"
But even tho a few workers may
look upon the hight against the reac-
tionaries as hopeless and feel inclined
to split the party, the progressive
block has no desire nor intention to
split the farmer-labor party. Further.
more nothing the leadership can do
will provoke them into a split because
they realize that the farmer.labor par
~ represents a need Of the workers
and secondly because they have learn
ed that the way TO get rid of bad
leadership is to stay in the organiza-
ton and conduct a fight for leader

italists on the basis of the class

CHINESE STRIKERS
F oreign Exploitation
Rouses Nation

CANTON, China, (By Mail)-The
year has closed in China with renewed
turmoil in the political situation.
Chang Tso-lin, the Mukden war lord,
has triumphed over his rival and
former subordinate, Kuo, in most I'M
expected fashion.
Chang is now reported to have re-
signed and his successor is expected
to be the Japanese nominee, Wang-Yu-
Hsiang.
Feng- Yu-Hsiang has also with
drawn, for the time being at least, and
is making journey to Moscow.
Two weeks ago Kuo was carrying
all before him, and Chang was in full
retreat. Kuo was expected to capture
Changes stronghold at Mukden, but
here it was that Japan made care
fully planned and dramatic move
Kuo's Venture Fails.
Japanese troops occupied Mukden,
and Kuo was warned away with a
threat of action if he came within six
miles Of the town. While the latter
hesitated, the Japanese assisted Chang
to reorganize his troops, so that with
secret Japanese backing he was able
TO turn the tables on his rival, whose
men by this time we're running short
of food and ammunition.
Kuo had relied on a swift capture
lof Mukden, and had carried few sup
plies hoping to recoup his army there.
His daring venture failed, however,
owing to unforeseen Japanese duplicity,
and Kuo has paid the penalty with his
life.
AS soon as Japan believed that
Chang was again strong enuf to take
control, her troops evacuated Mukden.
The AIl-china Strike.
From the point of view of the imper-
ialist exploiters of China, 1925 has
been a disastrous year, due to the
great all-China strike brot about by
the brutal massacre of Chinese work
srs and students by British controlled
police. This strike lasted months,
costing foreign traders many millions
of pounds in profits.
The strike was followed by a boy
colt Of British and Japanese goods,
and this boycott has remained in force
until the present time.
Several abortive attempts have been
made to induce the workers govern
ment at Canton to resume trade rela-
lions with Hongkong, and a new dele
cation has just been sent, which was
equally unsuccessful.
The Shanghai Massaeres.
Trade boycott, together with the
bitter anti-foreign feeling manifested
thruout the country, has forced the
foreign diplomats to reverse their
policy Of correction and give way to
several Chinese demands, the most inn
portant being that of unconditional
tariff autonomy
An attempt has been made to allay
the feeling over the Shanghai massa-
ores by the virtual dismissals of Col
onel McEwen, the police commits
sioner, and Inspector Everson, plus
the offer of $4,000 for the dependents
of the killed and wounded Chinese.
The Chinese claim, based upon claims
made by foreigners on the Chinese
government, is for $685. 900, and the
solatium offered has been Indignantly
rejected. The imperialist press pre-
tends to regard the Chinese claim as
ridiculous" in spite of its base.
