THOUSANDS OF
TO|LERS ATTEND
LENIN MEETINGS
Shop Nuclei Turn Out
Masses in Many Cities

At the many Lenin memorial meet
lnns held all over the nation to COM
memorate the second anniversary OF
the death of Lenin, many workers who
had heard very little of LenIn and
what Leninism means attended the
meetings. The shop and street nuclei
In every local of the Workers (com-
munist) Party, long before the meet
ings, distributed literature, leaflets,
DAILY WORKERS, aequaintina the
workers with what Lenin had done
and what Leninism means to the
workers. Many Of the workers, who
were thus reached by the literature
Of the party, attended these meetings
and for the first time heard what
Lenin stood for from the speakers OF
the Workers (Communist) Party.
Philadelphia Joins the Throng.
The Philadelphia Lenin memorial
meeting, held at Turngemeinde Hall,
was the biggest meeting seen here for
many years. The significance of this
meeting is even greater when we con-
slider that the shriners and the Amer
lean legion have been doing every
thing in their power to prevent the
meeting from being held
The meeting originally was to be
held at Lulu Temple, the headquar-
ters of the shriners, but two days
prior to the meeting the directors of
Lulu Temple, who receive their orders
from the same people who direct the
Philadelphia municipal government.

organizations that serve as meeting

LYNETT PLAN
IS REJECTED
BY OPERATORS
Operators Holding Out
to Smash Union
lspeeIaI to rhe DalIy workerl

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27-The joint
conference between John L. Lewis,
president Of the United Mine Workers,
and the operators, meeting after the
breakup of the conference in New
York two weeks ago, rejected the Ly-
nett plan for Settling" the strike, and
adjourned until today. No plans are
announced for the future sessions Of
the conference.
The conference was called at the re-
quest of Lewis who had accepted the
Lynett plan, rather than accede to the
demand of the general grievance COM
mittees of the anthracite miners that
he call a general strike by withdraw
ing the maintenance men who are &C
tually scabbing on the striking miners
even tho they are working with per-
mission of the union.
Mine Owners Reject Plan.
The operators refused to accept the
Lynett plan, or any other plan which
does not tie the miners up for a long
term of years, arbitration, no increase
in wages and outlawing of strikes in
the industry.
The operators being certain that Lee
wis will not call hundred per cent
strike are pressing their advantage,
and are aiming at the Gripping of the
union with its eventual destruction as
their objective. The striking miners
are realizing this and are adopting
the policy of the Progressive Miners
Committee, the left wing of the U. NJ.
w, calling for no arbitration, hun
bred per cent strike, and no eompro-
mise on the demands of the tri-district
wage convention.
While Lewis seeks to secure some
plan which will give the operators
their demands and at, the same time
appease the miners, suffering among
the miners is growing.
Another Resolution" Offered.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 27-An-
other resolution aimed to put to an
end for all times differences between
the United Mine Workers and the op-
orators in the anthracite regions, was
introduced in the lower house OF the
legislature today.
The resolution would name Senator
George Wharton Pepper, Senator
David Reed, and former Gov. Edwin
Stuart as a board to call representa-.
tives of both factions together and
ask them to present their differ
ences.
The committee would issue the call
five days after adoption of the reso-
luton.

Iowa, who hopes to be able to run

address the conference and is sup
posed to represent the congressman

presented at the conference.
Stand on Fake Program.
Leaders in the parley, outlining to-
day the prospective program, declared
that every effort will be made before
the conference adjourns to reach a
common ground and adopt a unified
program. They hoped to swing the
conference into Endorsement of a
federal agricultural board and the
establishment of a government export
corporation TO be conducted by the
proposed board.
Secret conspiraeies on Foot.
That any effort to deviate from this
program will throw the conference
into an uproar and result in anything
but the desired harmony was made
evident today when the executive
committee of the corn belt committee
Of farm organizations met behind
closed doors with the executive com.
mittee of the American council for
agriculture
It was said that the secret meeting
was for the purpose of "tightening-up
the battle lines" Those present re-
presented the corn belt federated
committee which adopted last fall the
same platform which now is up for
consideration by tomorrow's confer
ence.
That the all-Iowa advisory commit
tee of fifty which is in charge of the
conference tomorrow is determined to
keep the farm organizations in line
and now has no intention of letting
the conference take the bit in its
teeth and run away from the pro
gram that will be submitted to it was
indicated by statement made pub
lie today which says, in part:
I'VE are aware of the great efforts
that have been made by the several
farm organizations in the trying
marketing program with which they
are wrestling. Our courses should run
parallel and our forces Join because
we are working toward the same end,
namely, to put agriculture on a money
making. basis. We acknowledge their
leadership and pledge them our stead
fast cooperation"
May Launch Coalition.
Eleven present governors. including
the treasury-looter of Illinois, Len
Small, will be on the job, each trying
to advance his own peculiar political
interests. A number of these politi-
cal leaders of the middle west and
south, discouraged with the futility of
the old party programs may endeavor
to start coalition of so-called radical
republicans and democrats for the
purpose of bringing pressure to bear
upon both old parties in the coming
congressional campaigns. No perman-
ent organization of the nature of a
third party is likely to come out of
the conference, but the LaFollette
strategy of forming a coalition be.
tween the insurgents in both parties
may result in concerted effort on the
part OF the middle.west politicians
that will smash Coolidge's support in
congress and establish a bloc system
that will keep the administration In
hot water thereafter.
