Raise Objection.
Immediately after the result of the
elections was announced, several
workers raised the objection that
there was a false count, that the whole
election for business agent was a be-
trayal of the workers, and they de-
manded that new election be held
in place of this fraudulent one. But
Harris was all prepared for this OBJ
lection, just as he was to steal the
election. He at once led on to the
floor a squad of his strong arm hire
lings and a fight followed. Many
workers were badly beaten, especially
member of Local So, NJ. Galoshing,
who was severely injured.
In the course of the fray, several

from his smuggling work. The workers

Organize Miner Relief; Thirty four
Locals in Appeal to Labor Groups.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 15.-The
Miners Relief Conference, office in
Pittsburgh is in action and is sending
out an appeal to all unions, fraternal
societies and friendly organizations
calling attention to the menace to the
working class of the present drive
against the miners standards of living
and asking for support for the 100000
locked out miners.
Their appeal, mailed from their
headquarters, 807 McGeah Building,
Pittsburgh, Pa, says;
eve, the coal miners, are going in
to the fourth month of our strike with
a large number of local unions with
no money in their treasures. Local
union after local union asks for relief
and not week passes without such
requests coming in. In some camps
large numbers Of families are without
food. In a great number of camps
families are forced TO leave the coal
mining industry, never to come back
again. This leaves the loyal, fighting,
militant union men to carry on the
fight to the bitter end against the coal
operators.
Brothers, we cannot ask the coal
operators and the steel magnates to
help us win the strike, therefore, we
are forced to ask your assistance in
this life and death struggle against
the coal bosses. We have one of the
best weapons in our hands, if you
help us, that is relief. Relief will
keep our brothers at the mining
camps. Relief will feed our starving
babies and families. Relief will give
us courage to continue the fight to
it's bitter end"

Federated Press

Cooperators from SO countries and
representing organizations with a
total membership of about 10000
900 will meet in Stockholm, Sweden
in mid-August. The Cooperative
League tells Of this International Co
operative Alliance meeting in it's cur

There will soon be established a
central international office for CO.
operative wholesaling, the League
predicts. Later there will be inter
national cooperative banking and in

mittees are working on the details
preliminary to the promotion of these
new enterprises.
''The widely heralded League of
Nations fathered by Woodrow Wilson
might well look with envy at this
non-political International cooperative
federation" states the League, "for
not only does it include many of the
peoples who have refused to enter the
League of Nations, but it is also
functioning in an atmosphere of har-
mony and mutual good will which is
quite unknown to the political as
semblies at Geneva"

REVOKE CHARTER
OF SHOE union
WITHOUT CAUSE
General Council Tries
to Smash Opponents

The charter of the New York Dis
trict Council of the Shoe Workers
Protective Union has been revoked
by the reactionary general council of
that organization.
This action was taken last Monday
evening at a joint meeting of both the
local and national councils, at which
the chairman of the general council
usurped the chair and then proceeded
to revoke the charter Of the local or
ganization. Delegates of five of the
six locals affiliated with the council
then walked out in protest, as no
charges had been filed against the
New York unions.
The Real Issue.
This is only the surface of the
story. The real issue is that the gen
eral council was acting against the
best interests of the New York or
ganization for quite some time in the
past.
The fight really started at the time
that the American Shoe Workers
Union decided to affiliate with the
New York organization of the pro-
tective, and the general council sus-
pected that the votes of these addi-
tional members would be cast against
them in the then coming elections.
They INSTRUCTED by all means this
amalgamation and nothing came of 1t.
The local district council endorsed one
Of it's organizers, Pascal Cosgrove,
against the present incumbent for
general president. Ever since then
the general organization has with
drawn all financial support from the
N. Y. council.
Came TO Head.
The controversy came to a head re-
Gently due to the attack that the
bosses were making against the
union to impose wage reduction. The
local organization fought very stub
bornly on every one of the shops in
volved but due to the very bad situa-
ton in the New York shoe industry
could not fully defeat the employers
and in the case of the B. & s.. Shoe
Co. decided to leave the matter to the
workers employed in the shop. The
workers decided to compromise on the
demand of the boss for a Is per cent
wage reduction by accepting s per
cent. The administration of the cut
ters' local ordered the seven cutters
employed in the shop not to accept
the reduction, although in all other
cases previous to that the cutters were
the most compromising.
In another case the Unity Shoe Co.,
% workers were arbitrarily discharged
by the firm. The union in this case
confronted the wholesale discharge,
decided to strike the shop. The gen.
eral president however, told the cut
ters to stay on the job, while in the
case of the per cent compromise he
told the cutters to strike as against
the rest of the shop 1t was evident
to all that the general officials were
playing a game to destroy the local
organization as they could not util-
ize it to sustain them in office by fore
ing the union. into fights with the en-
ployers that were unwarranted and
which the general council refused to
support financially.

the every day struggle of the work
ers must be taken by the Commun-
lists.
Unleash Agrarian Revolution.
The agrarian revolution that is
now rising throughout many prov
inces in China must be broadened
and deepened. The struggle for
achieving the bourgeois democratic
revolution in "plebian' manner,
namely, the revolutionary offensive
of the bloc of workers, peasants and
urban poor under the hegemony of
the proletariat must be continued.
The workers and peasants must be
Systematically armed and the re-
dictionary elements must be disarmed
and crushed. The reply to repres-
sions and executions of Communists
and revolutionary workers fighting
under the leadership of the Commu-
nists must be met by the setting up
of a militant, underground party ap-
paratus to direct the revolution.
Must Rectify Blunders.
Measures must also be immedi-
ately taken toward rectification of
the opportunist blunders of the Cen
trail Committee of the Communist
Party of China and toward creating
a politically sound leadership of the
Party.
The Executive Committee of the
Communist International considers
the question of Party policy gener-
ally and the leadership of the Party
in particular as assuming the most
important role. The Executive of
the Comintern therefore appeals to
all Party members to start decisive
struggle against all opportunist devil
ations of Community Party leader
ship.
Lauds Young Communists.
The Executive of the Communist
International also records satisfac-
ton because of the correct policy
pursued by the Young Communist
League in China and the heroic
struggle of the Party masses and
firmly believes that the Party in
China will find enough energy to
change its own leadership and to dis
avow those cowardly leaders who
violated the international discipline
of the Comintern by maintaining a
united front with elements after
their actions had proved them trait
ors to the revolution and enemies of
the workers and peasants.
Leaders Steeled in Struggle.
The new Party leaders must be
largely composed of worker and
peasant elements who have gone
through the fire of civil war, have
been steeled in the actual struggle.
They must get the controlling influ-
ence in the Party and within the
Central Committee. These workers
from the rank and file will be able
to maintain close contact with whole
Party mass and will in that manner
overcome opportunism.
Victory Is Assured.

the trend of the great Chinese revo-
luton has aroused such broad masses
of workers and peasants to political
action that no power in the world can

Under proper leadership the VIC
tory of the Chinese workers and

Communist Party alone that can fur
nish this leadership
