MINING COMP ANY
USES ALL POWER
TO CHEAT WIDOW
Crew of "Gas Experts"
Prevents Compensation

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Now. ID OPP F.
Mrs. Frances Petrovsky has been
denied compensation by referee Thorn
as c: Seidel of Pottsville for the death
of her husband. Joseph Petrovsky
was killed by an explosion of gas in
one Of the Philadelphia & Reading Co.
mines a few months ago.
This is another case where the vic
tim is further victimized. The ref
cree contended that Petrovsky with
his buddy were working in a gassy
place and used carbide instead of
safety lamps. Since this act is con-
trary to the ruling of the Anthracite
Laws of 1891, the deceased stands
guilty of violating the mine code, and
his widow faces starvation.
1t is not definitely known whether
Petrovsky used a carbide lamp or not.
Miners as a rule are very careful in
this respect, fully realizing that their
life depends sometimes on not drop
ping a spark of fire. But it must be
remembered that safety lamps, even
such as are provided by law, frequent
ly ignite the gas which is highly in
flammable and explosive.
Fleece Widows.
Company "gas experts" and other
gentlemen usually appear before the
referee with long testimonies padded
and imagined, fighting a lonely widow
and the union representative, whose
wits are usually put to a severe test
in matching against those of the
trained company experts" These
experts make fat salaries on the sums
they save the company by denying
widows subsistence, and solemnly in
dieting the victim whose ghost is
nowhere at hand to put an end to the
farce.
At the same time Mrs. Petrovsky's
plea for compensation was denied,
Joseph Baranowski of Shenandoah
was awarded the magnificent sum of
$1,000 for the death of his son. The
boys life was snuffed out this sum-
mer when huge lump of rock
crushed him.

Plans of the general staff to
transform the U. S. cavalry regi-

with airplanes and fast moving
tanks were announced yesterday by
Maj. General H. B. Crosby, Chief

Each cavalryman will be equip

will carry the ammunition, and the
resulting fire power will be ex-

Anti-Imperialist League
Calls 1t Another Bit of
Propaganda for War

Characterizing the publication by
the Hearst press, in a copyrighted
story, of alleged official Mexican gov
eminent documents showing support
of the Nicaraguan liberal movement,
as "a new blow directed by the COM
bined forces of U. S. Imperialism and
Mexican counter-revolution," against
Mexico, the All-American Anti-Im-
perialist League, 80 Union Square,
Manuel Gomez, secretary, issued a
statement appealing for support of
Mexico and Nicaragua.
q, "Stand by Mexico, the center of
resistance to American imperialism
in Latin-America," the statement con-
cludes.
Statement of the All-America Anti
Imperialist League.
Scarcely has Mexico settled ac-
counts with the reactionary Gomez
Serrano rebellion when a new blow
is directed against her by the COM
bined forces of U. S. Imperialism and
Mexican counter-revolution.
"That is the only proper charac-
terization of the publication by
Hearst newspapers turnout the
United States of series of sensa-
tional forgeries, purporting to be Sc
cret official documents of the Mexi-
can government, beginning June 2,
1926, authorizing transfer of funds to
the liberal government of DR.. Juan
B. Sacasa, constitutional president of
Nicaragua.
"Three things stand outs plainly in
connection with this newspaper bar
rage. They are:
THAT U. S. imperialist inter-
ests have not given up their attacks
against Mexico and are preparing to
help start a new movement to over
throw the Gales regime.
"2.-That the counter-revolutionary
land-owning interests in Mexico are
in direct league with the foreign i'm
perialists and are attempting to be-
tray Mexico to them. This is proved
by the statement of the Hearst news
papers that their documents were
obtained from Mexican opponents of
the Gales government.
"3.-That excuses are being sought
to justify an intensification of U. S.
imperialist aggression in the Carib-
bean and intrenching of U. S. marine
rule in Nicaragua. ('These documents
vi be presented as important new
facts, say the Hearst news-writers in
introducing their scandal-stories
While they are not published to sup
port the policy of President Coolidge
they obviously do support the presi-
dents policy and prove the absolute
necessity of his vigorous action in
Nicaragua if the interests of the peo-
pie of the United States are to be
prOtected.O
"That the Hearst documents arc
forgeries is of small Importance ex-
cept to show what means the enemies
of Mexican nationalism are willing
to resort to.
"From the Hearst stories them
selves the obvious conclusion is that
apart from the question of the rich
plumber to be obtained in Mexico, the
republic south of the Rio Grande is
being attacked because she represents

Conditions are ripening for new
revolutionary struggle. The fact
that the capitalists were able to stem

mean much because the revolotion

DENVER, Nov. IL (By MaiD.-
Two large mass meetings were held
by the striking coal miners of Col
orado on Armistice Day, Friday, Nov.
II, in the northern Colorado coal
fields, one at ten o'clock in the morn

afternoon at Erie.

Thousands of striking miners at
tended both meetings. Frank Palmer,
William Dietrich, secretary of the
Workers (Communist) Party and
George Saul, secretary of the Inter-
national Labor Defense, were speak
ers invited from Denver. In addition
there was Negro miner, Jim Leaf
ton; Richardson, Adam Bell, and
other local speakers.
Pledge Against Imperialist War.
Frank Palmer, as veteran of the
World War, requested every miner to
raise his hand and pledge that never
again would they De docilely led by
the capitalist class to make war on
the workers of another country. He
also pointed out that the mines in
Russia are run by, and for the min
ers and that the miners vote on the
acceptance of the executive heads and

William Dietrich also requested all

proposition that they would refuse to

pointed out the evasion of the coal

Jailed Mensheviks.
Replying to question concerning
the imprisonment of Mensheviks,
Stain pointed out that the Menshe-
Viks and the social revolutionaries
had imprisoned the Bolsheviks when
they held power. The social-demo-
cracy in the Soviet Union, he said, is
counter-revolutionary and must be
treated as such.
Asked why the German social
democratic newspaper representatives
had been refused visas, Stain said
that the attitude of the German So
cial-democracy towards the Soviet
Union even surpassed the bitterness
and the calumnies of the capitalist
press.
Conflict of InternatiOnaIs.
When asked if a union of the Sec
ond and Third Internationals was
possible, Stain declared that such an
amalgamation was impossible be-
cause the Third (Communist) Interna-
tional was fighting against capital
ism while the Second International
was fighting for it. ''The struggle be-
tween these two Internationals repre-
sents the struggle between the friends
of capitalism and the friends of So
cialism. This struggle cannot end
otherwise than in victory for the
Third or Second International. AS for
myself, | have no doubt that the Third
international will win"
Stain pointed out that in spite of
the apparent sterilization of CAPT
talism, the contradictions inherent in
it will ensure its downfall. Both in
Europe and in the colonial countries
there are numerous symptoms of a
mass revolt against capitalism, Stain
declared.
