ARTICLE /.

The coal miners of England, Scot
land and Wales are fighting against
the attempt of the coal owners and
the government to reduce their wages,
Iengthen their hours and break up
their union.
The entire trade union movement
of Great Britain, convinced that the
attack on the miners is an attack on
the whole working class, knowing that
the defeat of the miners would be the
signal for an onslaught on the rest of
the trade unions, has come to the
assistance of the miners in one of
the most striking (the pun is ex-
eusable) demonstrations of solidarity
in labor history.
The real meaning Of the present
struggle is that the British labor
movement says to the British lords of
industry and finance and to their In
strument. the British government:
mot one penny off from wages or
one minute added to the hours OF
labor"
British capitalism can survive only
BY lowering the standard of living OF
while at the same time forcing more
production from the workers. In such
a situation labor's slogan of no wage
reductions and no increases in hours
is actually challenge to the British
ruling class.
The wage struggle in Great Britain
has become a revolutionary struggle.
Even Right Wing Lines Up.
For months the capitalist press of
the world has been placing its con-
hdence in the right wing leadership OF
the British trade unions as the
bulwark between the mine owners, the
government and the masses of the
trade union membership. But Mac
Donald, Henderson, Clynes and
Thomas are publicly supporting both
the miners strike and the general
strike and the capitalist press is
sshast.
For is this not Britain, the cradle
OF capitalist democracy and parlia-
mentarism, where the sole important
survivor of European royalty still
lives and thrives in Buckingham on
the bounty of the bourgeoisie?
All signs fail in dry weather says an
old proverb and the prophets OF the
capitalist press have been unable to
understand that just as British diplo-
macy was the most successful in the
world when British finance ruled the
world markets but meets Illuminating
defeats in the present period Consult
Austen Chamberlain) so does the in
ruence of reformist trade union lead
ers wane in a country of declining cap
italism.
And British capitalism is on the
decline. The British workers feel this
in the lowered standard of living and
chronic mass unemployment tho COM

infantry in full field equipment

the mine districts under virtual
martial law.
Arrest SaI<Iatvsla.
The government, fearful and frantic
in the first hours of the strike, ar
rested the Communist member of par
/ lament, S. Saklatvala for seditious
utterances. But fearing counter-dem-
onstrations the government merely
arraigned Saklatvala before a police
magistrate and asked him to enter
bonds to keep the peace.
Arsenal Strike.
One hundred thousand special con
stables have been ordered to report
for duty tomorrow morning. Troop
movements have been hampered by
lack Of train service and the govern
ment has been forced to rely upon the
fleet. A guard was thrown around
Woolwich Arsenal when the workers
came out on strike and surrounded
the arsenal with a picket line to pre-
vent others from going in.
Newspapers Shut.
All newspapers have been suspend
ed except the Post, the ultra conserv-
alive organ which has been comman-
deered by the government as a bulle-
tin. All traffic in London is stopped
except the cab service and the cab
men are scheduled to quit tonight.
infantry Moves.
Three additional regiments of in
fantry and one of artillery were
moved into Liverpool today. Troop
ships landed at Liverpool yesterday
and disembarked two regiments. The
government says IT expects trouble
from the Liverpool lockers. This is
the excuse for the troop movement.
Gunboats are anchored at Hull.
Dictatorship.
The governments efforts to resume
skeleton railroad service have so
far been unsuccessful. The dictator
ship has been definitely established.
Emergency orders have already been
issued respecting transportation and
plans made for requisitioning food
and essential services. Under the
power of the state of emergency regu-
lations were issued authorizing amy
policeman under the order of cabi-
net minister to center by force any
premises suspected OF being used for
the printing or distribution OF docu-
ments calculated to cause sedition or
interference with the food supply or
mutiny."

UNITED FRONT

BY J. LOUIS ENeDAHL,
Editor Of TIE DAILY WoRKER.)

(Eoltor OF ne DAILY WORkER.)
PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 4. - Fear
ing that the Workers (communist)
Party would win over Its remaining
membership, thru united front activi-
ties, the convention Of the socialist
party here refused to join In any COM
mon actions IN the struggle against
capitalism.
This was admitted by Victor L. Ber-
ger the socialist congressman and
member of the conventions resolution
committee that brot in an unfavorable
report in reply to the open letter" adj
dressed to the convention by the
Workers Party calling for united front
action for the fall congressional cam

ent:

to give you Communists an opportun-
ity to bore within our party. We have
to protect our party against you Com
munists."
oneai Still Raving.
The committee report was a vicious
production from the poison pen Of
James Oneal, editor OF the New
Leader, the New York Socialist week
ly. The language was considered so
extreme, even for Oneal's red-baiting
vocabulary, that even Morris HiIlquit
protested against it, and sought to
make some changes in it. In this he
was not very successful.
Joseph A. Sharts, a lawyer from
Dayton, Ohio, reported for the com.
mittee, first reading the open letter
addressed to the convention and then
the report of the resolutions commit

suggestions for changes and his argu-
ments are here given consecutively as
follows:
Committee reports first paragraph:
"The socialist party in national con-
vention has received from the so-called
Workers (Communist) Party letter
urging that the socialist party Join
with the Workers (Communist) Party
in establishing what the latter calls a
united front in congressional and
state elections this year, and in solicit
ing the cooperation of economic and
political organizations of the work
ers."
Neither Hillquit nor any of the other
delegates found any objection to this
paragraph.

We have always been for it. both be-
fore and since the Russian Bolsheviki

organizations of the world"
Hillquit urged that everything be
cut out after the word "since" claim
ing that while what was charged was
true, nevertheless it had nothing to
do with the united front with the
Workers Party in this country. Hill
quit wanted the paragraph to read,

Carpenter, as you know, is

Prince of Wales. He squandered
his purses living the pace. Coun-

retinue of servants and seasons at
st. Moritz, Deauville and other
fashionable resorts have cut deep

The champion of Europe Is Pao-

has been boosting so much in
