NON-UNION COAL
OPERATORS RULE
U. S. SENATORS
Both Old Parties Join to
Aid Open Shop 4
BY LAURENCE TODD.
Federated Press Service.

WASHINGTON, June 10. - Non
union coal operators of West Virginia,
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee
demonstrated their power in the SEN
ate of the United States on June z,
when Copeland of New York lost his
fight to secure debate on bill estab-
fishing federal fact-fnding agency
in the coal industry.
The bill seeks also to provide some
slight degree of federal control of the
industry in time of strike, but its chief
significance lies in its proposal to de-
termine what are the costs of pro-
duction of coal, what the profits, and
what are the actual earnings of the
miners.
Democrats and Republicans Unite.
Nicely of West Virginia, democrat,
objected to taking up the coal control
bill He had warned the senate, weeks
before, that the coal industry wanted
no governmental interference. Goff,
his republican colleague, echoed this
opinion. Copeland, after much pala-
yer, moved that the coal bill be taken
up between noon and 2 o'clock on the
following day, in the hope that it
could be disposed of in less than two
hours.
In spite of the fact that he could
kill the measure by talking against it
during that brief time, Nicely insisted
on a roll call. To get the bill up at
that time, Copeland had to muster a
two-thirds majority. He failed, as he
got only 43 votes against 25.
Both Represent Capital.
In this lineup is seen the attitude of
defense of the aggressively non-union
coal operators in the southern fields
by both democratic and republican
senators from those states. Kentucky
just now has two republican senators,
Oklahoma two and Missouri one
These all opposed action on coal. So
did Tennessee's two democrats, with
one democrat each from Virginia,
North Carolina, Alabama and Arkan-
sas.
Since northern capital is developing
the southern coal fields by process
which includes gradual abandonment
of northern unionized fields in many
cases, this senate roll call may be
taken as bid by both the old par
ties in the south for the support of
the coal operators. 1t is accepted by
the coal lobby in the capital as a
hint that the political bosses in the
south are willing to take a more ex-
treme anti-union stand than those in
the north with relation to coal as they
have with regard to textiles and lum-

Seeks to Diagnose
Disease by the Use
of Radio Waves

MADISON, Wis, June 10.-Arthur
Engel, Milwaukee electrician, who
claims to have invented a system of
diagnosing diseases in cattle by the
use of radio waves, will be given an
opportunity to try out his invention
on Badger cows.
A special committee of veterinari-
ans has recommended to the Wiscon-
sin livestock sanitary board that En-
gel be given chance to prove his
claims by diagnosing herds which are
about to be tested with the approved
tuberculin test.
The animals will then be tested in
the regular way and the results of the
two methods compared with the evi.
dence produced at the time of slsugh-
ter.
Altho Engel claims ability to dag.
nose and cure other diseases by the
use of his radio waves, he will be
confined for the present to diagnosing
for tuberculosis.

Fifth Article.


THE Importance of accuracy for the
i Communist press cannot be over
estimated.
Our press is read more critically
than any other newspaper for obvious
reasons. Both friends and enemies
read with keen eye for errors.
Unless our news stories and esti-
mates of various situations are cor
rect in general and in detail we shake
the confidence of our friends, finally
lose them and make it possible for
our enemies to evade the real ques-
lions at issue between them and the
working class and make their whole
case on our misstatements.
THE process by which this is done
is quite simple. 1t consists only in
pointing out some obvious inaccuracy
perhaps of little Importance in it.
self-and making the obvious but
plausible argument that a sheet or a
party which errs on small questions Of
fact is unlikely to be correct on the
broader questions of policy.
Thus relieved of all. necessity Of
meeting such real issues as a labor
party, amalgamation, organization Of
the unorganized, the enemies of the
party can go merrily along, satisfied
with their success at avoiding all dis
cussion on the real merits of the
Communist program, and aided in this
by us.
THE DAILY WORKER has sinned
4 heavily in this respect, but it will
do no good to simply cry inca culpa'
and return to the old carefree way OF
handling matters of grave concern to
the whole labor movement and to our
party.
Our press must build up reputa-
ton for truth and accuracy which is
susceptible to the sternest kind of
proof and which both party and non
party workers are willing and able to
defend. Our party must change its
attitude toward news of the struggles
of the workers and developments in
the labor movement
Our sins have been Of two kinds:
~ Carelessness in reporting events
and Understanding the Importance
of accuracy in detail.
~ A manner of approach and a
method of chronicling events in the
labor movement which, altho no spe-
cific inaccuracy could be pointed out
in the matter of detail, nevertheless
gives an entirely wrong impression Of
what occurred, its Importance in the
whole perspective of the labor move
ment and the general tempo and tone
of the movement itself.
A N example of the first type of error
"A is contained in story I wrote
few days ago dealing with the farmer
labor situation in Minnesota. l at
tempted to give the position of the
various groups in the labor movement
of the Twin Cities and in securing the
information l talked to forty or fifty
persons. l inquired the position of
Richard Wiggin, who is influential in
the Minneapolis labor movement, and
was told by at least a dozen people
that he was supporting Davis instead
of Johnson. Further inquiry made it
clear that while Wiggin had supported
Davis openly in the convention he was
not doing so now. But I had already
written the story and sent it in.

World War Coming.
A. Wirin of the Fellowship of Youth
for Peace presided over the confer
ence. In his opening remarks he gave
very good characteristic of present
day militarism, branding the G. M.
T. c., R. o. T. c., the Capper-J Johnson
bill and the military propaganda as a
campaign by the United States govern
ment for another world war.
Professor Clarence R. Skinner was
then introduced. He made his address
on "Militarism and It's Danger to
Youth" explaining the causes of mill
tarism and it's remedies. He called
upon the youth to take the initiative
to combat militarism in this country.
A short discussion took place after
