Miners Struggle
Despite Courts

PITTSBURGH, Dec. %. - Judge
Langham's injunction against the
Rossiter miners barring strike signs,
picketing, singing, "pecuniary con-
tributions," and anything else the
company could think up, has made
the risks of the fight heavier but it
has not stopped the fight. Anyone

down by the injunction, huddled to-

NEW ORLE A N S, Dec. 23. -
Preparations are under way here to
repeat the farce of christmas giving

messed when in this city year ago.
What happened is this:
For several days before Christmas
extensive preparations for a public
Christmas tree were in progress in
one of the city parks. Funds for this
had been raised by an enterprising
newspaper in one of those "give-a-
toy-to-some-po -poor-kiddy" holiday cam
paigns-which are very good for the
circulation of the paper AS a re-
suit, there was huge evergreen tree
covered with the usual tinsel, orna-
ments and electric lights; and there
were two tents in which were piled
toys of every description.
Christmas Segregation.
At first guessed that one tent was
for white children and one for COL
ored, since there was segregation in
street cars and every place else thru
the South. But / learned that the
separation of races w1 to be more
complete than that. The tents were
one for girls and the other for boys;

that of the Sd. The mud they talked
about should not have been a deter

Calogero Greco and Donate Carrillo

while the crowded courtroom sat

eight hours.

said he would grant the motion.

Greco ard Carrillo were then for

to leave the court room for several
moments as many friends crowded
about them to shake their hands and
offer congratulations on their re-

Party, Daily Worker to
Be Strengthened

A magnificent outpouring of en-
5husiasm among workers in the big

nounce yesterday.
The number of meetings which can
be arranged between now and the end
of January will certainly be around
two hundred, in the opinion of party
leaders, here, as there were 150 meet
ings held for the November 7 cele-
brations of the anniversary of the
Bolshevik revolution and the expert
ence gained then by workers, who felt
the thrill of participating in uni
versal, worldwide celebration of
working class events simultaneously
with the millions of Europe and Asia,
will help to make larger than ever
the Lenin Day ceremonies this year.
These meetings will be held in every
city of the country, in the largest halls
available. New York will use Madi-
son Square Garden for this occasion.
The eenter Of these meetings will be
the campaign for defense of the So
Wet Union against the war danger and
the campaign for the recognition of
the Soviet Union.
To this will be added an intensified
propaganda to build the Party and
