state of marital law has been de-
clared by presidential decree at Bar
ranca Bermeja on the Magdalena
River. This action is the result of
the strike of the employees working
at the Tropical Oil Co.. a branch Of
the Standard Oil Co. The strike has
been in progress some time and has
had very strong effect, tying up
all production and transportation Of
oil in this district.
The strikers, who are assisted by
the crews of the river steamers, re-
fuse to handle any of the company's
products, so that loading and dis
charging along the whole river has
had to be suspended.
An effort was made by the COM
pany to have soldiers shipped up
river, to employ in strikebreaking
activity. This plan had to be given
up, however, as no vessel could be
manned to carry the troops to their
destination. So far, two regiments
have been stationed at the oil center.

Eleven resolutions demanding
freedom for Sacco and Vanzetti,

The machine did not dare oppose
resolutions denouncing registration
Of aliens. They passed unanimously
with an emphatic vote from foreign

Of the convention.
Six resolutions for recognition Of
the Soviet Union recounted the sue

Russia to the hostile imperialist
world, its steady progress toward
normal production, its recognition by

mands that mechanical stokers be
placed on locomotives weighing 175,-
900 pounds and over on drivers. Till
such relief is furnished the union
asks that two firemen be assigned to
such engines. The union complains
that firemen are unduly exhausted
by the present practice requiring one
man TO stand the shovel gaff on these
bi glocomotives.
Firemen also call for a reasonable

CONVENTION SIDELICHTS

tute. which cannot be amended came
to naught.
Competent field workers are de-
manded by Utah and Colorado, now
entirely non-union. They've had
plenty of the other kind.
A fighting resolution asking the A.
F. of L. to levy a 10-cent assessment
on each member for six months to
help finance the West Virginia
struggle, was knocked galley west.
Pennsylvania and West Virginia
each have 100000 non-union miners,
Kentucky $4,000 and seven minor
coal states have $4,000 more, de-
clsred a resolution demanding real
efforts in the organizing line.
Other resolutions condemned the
1929 policy Of leaving the Somerset
miners in the lureh and discrediting
the union in the eyes of unorganized
men.
Call for a fighting alliance with
the railway workers for mutual
strike protection was tossed in the
sshcan for half dozen good ma
chine reasons. The Brotherhoods
don't hang together themselves, they
don't belong to the A. f. Of L., and
the Engineers run scab mines in
West Virginia.
Twenty resolutions of the Labor
Party never came before the conven-
tion. The machine adopted a sub
stitute backing A. F. of L. non-par-
tisan political action and forced it
through.
You should have seen what hap
pened to a resolution denouncing the
4. & o. plan, company unionism, the
Watson-Parker Act and trade union
capitalism. First, it was out of or
Ger for dealing with more than one
subject. Second, the gang didn't
like it anyway. Third, they had a
substitute which referred to COM
pany unions only. Exit original
resolution.
Seven resolutions lauded the Rus
sian miners for sending $3,5O0,0OO
for their British brothers and casti-
gated the officialdom Of the U. NJ.
W. A., the British trade union con-
gress. the Miners International and
Amsterdam for failing to give

The opposition to the Lewis
regime in the Miners Union is the
best ally of the left wing in the
international Ladies' Carmen t
Workers Union, the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Union, the Fur
riers' Union, the Capmakers' Union
and the other needle trades unions
challenging the reaction in their re-
spective organizations. No one
knows this better than President
William Green, former secretary
treasurer of the Miners Union.
who is now leading the attack on
the needle trades workers in New
York City. The left wing Of the
New York labor movement will
learn this, too, and interest itself
in every issue as it comes before
the convention Of twelve hundred
delegates of miners unions scat
tered all over the land.

New York labor can get better
perspective OF its own struggle as
it beholds the Abe Cahans. the
Morris Sigmans, the Morris Kauf-
mans, the Morris Hillquits, the
James Onealg, the Abraham Becker
mans and the Sidney Hillmans al

Bittner-Kennedy reaction in the
Miners Union, beating up the
youthful coal miner, Powers Hap
good; gagging Michigan's militant,
William Stevenson, and villifying
as it only knows how, the head Of
the opposition slate, John Brophy.
The opposition comes into the
miners convention with a definite
program to "Saye the Union.o 1t
calls for new spirit of struggle.
1t is met by the reactionary bed
partners of the Sigman-HilIman-
kaufman regime in the needle
tardes. Instead Of clash Of ideas.
the arguments they are compelled
to meet are those offered by brass
knuckles, piece Of gas pipe or an
automatic. Such blows must weld
the left wing in all the American
trade unions into a unifiel opposi-
ton to the reigning reaction. The
left wing in New York City should
be in the lead Of the effort TO de-
velop this national unity of prog
ressives. This can be done only by
acquainting the thinking workers Of
each industry with the problems,
the struggles and the achievements
OF the workers in every other in
dustry. The needle trades worker.
the miner, the railroader. the steel
worker, and all the rest must stand
shoulder to shoulder, in the. effort
to develop class program for all
American labor. To help develop
this unity Of purpose, to draw all
militant labor into common left
wing struggle, so that the minority
forces of the whole trade union
movement may march as one man
against the capitalist class and its
ally, the labor bureaucracy, to be-
come some day the majority. this
is the task Of The DAILY WORK
Err, the official organ of the
Workers (Communist) Party.
As such it gives extensive space
to the present convention that is
the most crucial so far in the whole
history of the Miners Union. 1t
is not space wasted. 1t is space
used to build firm foundation on
which 20 rear a working class or
ganization in this country able in
time to 60 forward to the success
ful seizure Of all power in govern
ment and industry. To this end it
seeks and appeals for the support
of the widest masses of New York
labor.
