Miners Front Holds Against Heavy Assaults

for the Erie, against the Buffalo &
Susquehanna Coal Co., closely related
to Rockefeller's Davis Coal & Coke
Of Maryland and West Virginia and
Somerset county; against the Impe-
rial and Irvona companies and against
many smaller concerns.
John Brophy, president of the dis
trict union. saw that the only hope of
inflicting costly punishment on the
contract-breakers and making an ex-
ample that would deter others was to
use new tactics.
The Labor chautauquas did the
trick. They went into the unusually
isolated mountain valleys. They gave
them an understanding of union prob
lens and a jovial days to a week of
fun that created a spirit on which the
operators had not reckoned. Paul w.
Fuller, director Of workers education
for the district, took charge.
Into dreary mining villages, half
dead from unemployment, where the
operators were about to start the
mines in violation Of the contract,
Fuller went with his speakers and en-
tertainers. Gay layers OF dancing
and song, OF recitation and band mu-
sic from the volunteer entertainers
that Fuller has modified from all
over the district sandwich the
speeches that tell the disaster OF non
unionism; Of the faithlessness Of op
orators promises and Of the unior
hope of naturalization and high
wages.
In the Buffalo & Susquehanna
strikes at Sycamore, Fuller became
supply preacher at the Presbyterian
church and got the church choir all
winter long out on the picket line,
singing songs TO the scabs, after a
Judge enjoined conventional picketing.
The problem Is TO hold till the expi.
ration OF the Jacksonville agreement
April 1 promises a more effective
fight than possible by local strikes.
The little furry OF extra work brought
by the British lockout cannot last.
But the union will survive II possible.

GARY STEEL
MILLS USING
EFFICIENCY
Makes Many Jobless /;
Speed the Rest

GARY, Ind, Oct. 1S.-So-called effici-
ency men are put on the job in all
departments of the Illinois Steel COM
pany. The mission of these efici-
ency men is to eliminate all super
fuous" help and devise more efficient
ways OF carrying on production.
The steel workers, even before the
introduction of the efficiency men,
were driven at top speed. This last
measure of the steel trust will drain
the last remnants of energy that re-
main in the men.
Puts Scores on the Street.
The new efficiency scheme as ap-
piled to the machine shop of the ILL
nOis Steel company works as follows:
Out of the 100 men comprising the
night shift, 40 were laid on.
The remaining force is usually told
by the foreman of the machine shop
that the mills are in a hurry for the
work given out to the men and the re.
suit is that the same amount of work
is turned out by the four-Afths of the
men formerly employed in the ma
chine shop.
Goes Ford One Better.
Henry Ford conceived the scheme
Of having his men turn out the same
amount of work in five-day week.
as they formerly turned out in six
days. Judge Gary goes him one bet
ter, and has the men speeded up with
out allowing them one additional day

coyIe,s Reply to Lewis.

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. Is. Con-
corning the statements of John l..
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, at the Detroit
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, in which Lewis raised
a great hue and cry against his op-
posing candidate, John Brophy, and
sought to connect Brophy with others
whom he labelled "reds," including
Albert F. Coyle, editor of the Loco.
motive Engineers Journal, Coyle has
issued the following reply:
Lewis Lies.
"Mr. Lewis allegations that / am
in any way connected with the Com
munist Party is a fragrant falsehood,
all the more contemplate because he
made it knowing that ! was not pres
ent to refute it.
"His assertion that the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers owns the
Coal River collieries or any other
mines is equally untrue. can say
emphatically that this brotherhood
has no connection whatever with the
collieries and does not have one
penny in them. Neither the brother
hood nor its bank has any investment
in that company or any interest in its
management.
Does Not Control Delegation.
"Mr. Lewis statement that the dele
cation Of labor union executives who
contemplate a visit to Europe, includ'
ing Russia, next summer has any con
nection with the Soviet government
or Communist Party is wholly and un'
qualifiedly false.
1T is likewise untrue that am run
ming this party, since IT is under the
responsible chairmanship of l.. e.
Sheppard. president OF the Order Of
Railway Conductors, and will include
reputable executives OF several Of the
brotherhoods as well as OF unions
afiliated with the A. f. OF L.

while have no right or desire
to comment in any way on the in
ternal politics OF tho A. F. of L. since
the Brotherhood OF Locomotive En-
gineers is not connected with that or
ganlzation, II is perfectly obvious that
Mr.. Lewis violent and untruthful at.
tack was motivated by partisan rea'
sons TO bolster up his own political
fortunes in his own organization.
II am confident that speak with
the approval Of the Brotherhood OF

Truth Is Trickling Thru
in Spite of Every Effort
of the New England Gang
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

"EoR Christ's sake, tell him the
i TRUTH"
This appeal, in the dark of the
Dedham, Mass, jail to the self-con-
fessed payroll bandit, Celestino Ma
deiros, came instinctively from the
lips of Nicola Sacco.
Sacco evidently thought that it
was the only kind of an appeal that
would get across to the convicted
youth, Madeiros, who, at the age of
20, stands in the shadow of death
because of his part in the Wrent-
ham, Mass, National Bank robbery.
Madeiros has confessed to his
part in the South Braintree holdup
and robbery that is charged against
Sacco and Vanzetti and for which
they have been convicted and SEN
fenced to death. Madeiros says
Sacco and Vanzetti are not involved
in the crime. But Madeiros has so
far refused to give the full names
of those associated with him in the
crime.
William G. Thompson, attorney
for Sacco and Vanzetti in their de-
mands for a new trial, signs the az
fidavit telling. of the visit with Ma
deiros on May 20, this year. The
visit was secured thru permission
granted by Prosecuting Attorney
Ranney. Thompson urged upon Ma
deiros the Importance of disclosing
the full names of his associates in
the South Braintree affair. This
Madeiros still steadfastly declined
to do. The loyalty of the under
world, that forbids one criminal to
peach" upon another, held as ada
mant.
Thompson did the talking to Ma
deiros. The sole purpose Of hav-
ing Sacco present, said Thompson,
was that he thought that Madeiros
might be willing to make full dis
closure if he were in the actual pre-
sence of the man, Sacco, in danger
of suffering from the South Brain
tree affair, with which Madeiros
knew Sacco had had absolutely no
connection.
Thompson, in his affidavit, now on
file with Judge Webster Thayer,
who has the power to grant new
trial, declares that the only contri-
button that Sacco made to his talk
with Madeiros was a remark, fire.
quently repeated by Sacco to Ma
deiros, For Chrisrs sake, tell him
the truth"
But the appeal to "the Christ" is
a common one, bantered hither and
thither in murky places in jails and
prisons, often spat upon. 1t fell
with no effect upon the calloused
Madeiros, who evidently thought he
had already done enough to help
Sacco and Vanzetti escape the cleo
trio chair.
Yet the convicted criminal, Ma
deiros, who made death for himself
so much more certain because Of
the aid he has already given Sacco
and Vanzetti in their fight for their
lives, stands out sky-high against
the grovelling politician, John Carl
baldi Sargent, encouragement of
the United States government, mem
Der of Coolidge's cabinet, who even
refuses to answer letters requesting
that the government reveal secrets
it has in it's possession that would
prove the innocence of the two
Italian worker victims of New Eng
land greed.
Yet in spite of the New England
gang,-Senator Butler, Attorney
General Sargent and Cal Coolidge
himself-the truth is trickling thru.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-10-20

Thus the conscience-stricken Feri
Felixus Weiss, department Of JUS.
tice agent, writes to the Boston
Globe, as reported in The DAILY
| WORKER yesterday, verifying the
affidavit of John Ruzzamenti, to the
effect that the latter was to be used
as a spy against Sacco. Thus the
net tightens about the department
Of Justice as 1t loosens about Sacco
and Vanzetti.
Thus Attorney Thompson also
tells of an interview he had with
the late Captain William H. Proc
tor, in which the latter revealed de-
tails of the manner in which the
Sacco;yanzetti frame-up had been
prepared.
Proctor said that a number of the
governments Identification witness
ses who subsequently Identified
saoeo as doing the shooting, had
previously, in his office, identified
the photograph Of another man as
being the murderer.
PROCTOR DECLARED THAT
HE WAS SATISFIED THAT THE
GOVERNMENT HAD GOTTEN
THE WRONG MEN, AND HE HAD
so NOTIFIED THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY BEFORE THE TRIAL.
Proctor had declined to put this
statement into his affidavit, but said
he would be obliged to make it If
put on the witness stand and ex-
amined orally. 1t is just such tes-
tImony az this that the Sacco-Van-
zetti defense forces wish to drive
into the open at the new trial that
is being demanded.
OF course, the alliance of the Sar-
misunderstanding department of
justice with the shoe factory-textile
mill owned local prosecutors, strives
just as theoretically to prevent the
new trial because the promised re-
velations will do more than anything
else to expose before the whole
American workingclass the real ma
ture of the criminal capitalist sys-
tenn.
Attorney Thompson also reported
to Judge Thayer an original state
ment by Pinkerton operative that
Miss Splaine, who testified at the
Sacco-V anzetu trial as govern
ment witness, had previously iden-
titled a picture of TONY the Wop,"
alias Anthony Palmisani, as the man
she saw in the automobile; that
Albert Frantello also thought 1.-THE
Wop" was the man she saw; that
Messrs. Wade and Hans Behrisin
selected a picture of Palmisani, that
| the witness Bostock selected the
same picture.
Thus even the governments wit
nesses had failed to identify either
Sacco or Vanzetti as members Of the
bandit party that got the payroll
after committing murder at South
Braintree.
But the frame-up squad of the
New England gang, by various
methods best known to themselves,
got witnesses to perjure themselves
in order to secure the conviction Of
Sacco and Vanzetti The courts
still have the power to make this
wholesale perjury stick and to send
both Sacco and Vanzetti to their
doom. Only the power of protest
of labor can save them.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 18.-FP)-Suit
for $4,000 damages for false arrest

AIiguippa is one Of the steel towns
in the Pittsburgh district where boot
logging prospers and freedom Of

For some time the town police and
the special Jones & Laughlin guards
have been keeping an eye on the
barber shop of Peter Muselin, one Of
Of the arrested men, and it is charged,
warning customers away from his
haircutting and shaving trade.
Muselin has been having friends
from the steel mills at his home of
evenings reading radical literature
and discussing the problems of the un-
organized steel workers, the police
say.
"Ham" Raids The Place
July 20 a dozen men and women
were assembled in the large room at
the rear of the barbershop when the
police rushed in. With his hand on
his revolver Chief Ham, as he is
called, shouted that they were lot OF
Bolsheviks and under arrest.
Muselin, Thomas lima and Milan
Resatar, the three men now filing
suit, were among several OF the group
who were taken to the police station
some in handouts. There they were
questioned two hours about their ra,
dical and labor views and studies and
released.

Chief "Ham" sneered that he need

lawyer argued that the men had nc
