KILLERS afraid
OF REAL PROBE
Support for Miners

Especial To The DAILY WORKER.)
By FRANK PALMER.

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 5.-A nation
wide investigation of the facts re-
garding the massacre at the Column
bine mine in which six striking coal
miners were murdered by private
company guards and state militia is
due shortly. The Denver Ministerial
Association today unanimously passed
resolution calling on the Federal
Council of Churches, Catholic Welfare
Council and College of Jewish Rabbis
to send an outside commission to the
state to acquaint themselves with the
tacts of the strike and the abrogation
of the most elementary civil liberties.
Strikers Pleased.
Strike leaders here are highly
pleased with the prospect of an inves-
tigation or any probe which will give
the world the facts of what is ac-
t1ally happening in Colorado at the
present time, and they are especially
desirous that the truth about the Col
umbine massacre become publicly
Known. The strikers are hoping that
The investigation will take place be-
fore the state police get themselves
freed on technical murder charges
Sentiment For Strikers.
There has been a tremendous in
crease of favorable sentiment toward
the strikers in this state during the
past week due largely to student ac-
tivities. Prof. Bramhall of the Uni
versity of Colorado spoke before a
huge crowd of students at Boulder
last Sunday, calling the l. w. w. "the
hope of the hopeless" and defending
the strikers in their demands. Other
speakers voiced similar sentiments
and declared the students right in 60
ing into the coal fields to get the facts
for themselves.
DENVER, Colo, Dec. 5.-Knowing
their guilt and fearing that the full
story of the massacre will be revealed
at any moment, the state police in
volved in the Columbine killings are
now threatening to bring murder
charges against themselves so that
they can be tried Immediately and

POSTPONE Appeal.
or MINEOLA LEFT
WING FURRIERS
McGrady Frameup Case
Needs Preparation

Hearing on the appeal of the nine
furriers who were framed by right
wing officials of the Furriers' Union
because of their participation in the
successful strike of 1926, and who
were convicted at Mineola, L. l., was
postponed to Jan. A, 1928. Tie date
originally set for the hearing was
Dec. IL, when the appellate division
of Brooklyn was to pass on the ap-
peal. The postponement was granted
upon the request of the district at
torney.
The nine progressive furriers, who
were convicted in Mineola last April
as result Of the charges framed by
The right wing McGrady gang with
the help of the Mineola district at
:orney are: Jack Schneider, Sam
Mensher, Philip 0. Lenhart, Morris
Mallxin, George Weiss. Joe Katz, Os-
car Millaf, Leo Franklin and Martin
Rosenberg.
Reasonable Doubt" of Guilt.
The original Indictment involved
eleven leading figures of the strike,
but the McGrady union smashing
forces did not present their framed
evidence skillfully enough to effect
a conviction of the two well-known
left wing leaders, Ben Gold and Isa-
dore Shapiro.
The framed furriers were released
after conviction by certificate of
reasonable doubt, signed by Judge
Mitchell May. The case grew out of
the successful strike led by the left
wing in 1926, in which the furriers
won a 40-hour week concession.

T0LEACUE They
RELY ON LEFTS
Trade Union Education
Conference Pledges Aid

That only the left wing and militant
support of the miners in their present
critical struggle can save the labor
movement was the tenor of the re-
port of several rank and file miners
from the Pennsylvania coal fields to
the concluding session of the third an
nual conference of the Trade Union
Educational League, held at Central
Opera House, 9th st. and Third Ave-
nue., New York.
The enthusiastic response OF the
three hundred delegates and the two
thousand visitors to the appeal of the
miners delegation was significant
indication Of the important role to be
played by the delegates.
Miners Appear.
Interrupting its regular procedure,
the conference listened to detailed
account by the first speaker, Brother
Smith of the United Mine Workers
Union of conditions in the Pennsyl-
vania coal fields. 'The coal compan-
ies," he said, "are controlled by Sec
retary Mellon and others who are out
to smash the miners union and other
unions. The fight in Pennsylvania
and in Ohio has been going on for
8 months. The miners have sacrificed
as much as thev possibly can; they
have given up their livelihood, homes,
freedom. They have been beaten up
and driven into the highways; they
are now living in barracks and their
children go to school barefooted.
Left Wing Concerned.
s'What would it mean to the left
wing to have the miners union
smashed? If this union is broken up
we will have to fight all over again
to regain the little which even now
remains. Without the help of the left
wing, we are sure to lose. :.
"We have come here to see what
you will do for the miners .. 1t is
your duty to do everything to help the
miners. T.. You must show that the
left wing is stronger than the right
wing. You must act. The present
struggle is life and death struggle"
Brother Anthony who followed
Smith, gave an intimate account of
the part played by John L. Lewis and
