The Question Of Leadership in
the Coal Miners Strike

everything in their power to rally the
membership for struggle, they will
be responsible for the defeat of the
union and no amount of exposure OF
the black role played by the Lewis
machine will enable them to escape
this responsibility.
The crisis in the coal miners union
is part of the crisis of the American
labor movement. The policies of the
official leadership are resulting in de-
feat after defeat and only the most
energetic work on the part Of the
conscious section of the labor move
ment headed by the Communists car
a defeat all along the line be averted
THE crisis in the coal miners union
is particularly acute because, with
a leadership which prefers to per-
secute the militant membership rather
than fight the bosses, it is in Oper
struggle against a powerful section
of the capitalist class backed
by the whole weight of American
capitalism.
With such leadership the United
Mine Workers of America cannot
win. The leadership of the strike
must be taken by those elements
which have consistently put forward
the program for which a majority Of
the membership voted in the last
election campaign-the program Of
the "Save the Union" bloc.

ers the night before the strike at
meeting which was held at the Madi-
son Square Garden to go home and
go on fishing trip and that they will
settle the strike for them, which re-
suited in having a policeman on every
wagon. Not only did the policeman
protect the rat, but acted as rat
himself by delivering the milk to the
door; the result was the strike was
lost an a company union was formed.

ted Mine Workers of America must
undertake a campaign in the union
which will make the entire member
ship conscious of the danger. This
campaign must be directed both
against the coal operators and
against the Lewis machine and be of
such a character that it will convince
non-union miners that in the United
Mine Workers of America there is a
force of sufficient power to guar
antee them against betrayals by the
Lewis machine once they have joined
the union miners in their struggle.
THE pressure for intensive organ
ization work in the big non-union
fields must be increased and suffi-
cient sentiment created and organi-
cation set up to carry out mass or
ganization campaigns in these terri
tories in spite Of the resistance of
the Lewis machine.
The strike must be made a ma
tional strike in every sense of the

protesting against the holding of
denominations in favor of the two

Mechanical Warfare

But, won't it be fine to have naval
battles without any men and land bat
ties with nobody but the generals and
other officers? Then, indeed, we shall
not have to conscript men but only to
conscript property. Quotas" will
then consist, not of lives, but of ma
terials: the steel trust will have to
supply its quota of steel; the NUM-
tons trust its quota of munitions;
the water power trusts their quotas
of electricity, etc. And whenever war
thus attacks property as almost its
sole victims, war will become a crime,
and will stop, or be stopped. When
ever our casualty lists begin to relate,
not how many sons of mothers have
lost their lives, but how many tons of
the steel trusts steel, how many gal
Ions of the oil trusts oil, and how
many kilowatts of the power trusts
electricity have been sacrificed in the
last great battle, there will be a diff
ferent attitude toward war For prop
erty is sacred. When the products of
the trusts can be conscripted instead
of being sold in war, instead of their
wanting to bring on war for pro-
fits they will avoid a war as they
would avoid a commercial and finan-
cial panic.
Here's hoping that England and her
rivals will advance mechanical war
methods to such degree that there
will be no more human slaughter but
only property destruction, only "me-
chanical death" The CAUSE of war
has always been goods. Why not let
goods become the sole VICTIM of
war?
If we can have mechanism and au-
tomato to do all the fighting and "dy-
ing" then perhaps the chief horror
of war will be shifted from the null
titude to the millionaire, and instead
of sacrificing millions of "doughboys, "
we will need to sacrifice only a few
dozen "dough-men." A war that de-
stroyed only the property of the rich,
would do more to prevent war than
would any treaty. AS peace-maker,
science may ultimately prove to be
superior to religion.

To The DAILY WORKER:
Just got through reading your
paper and seeing where the good Mr.
John F. Hylan the former mayor of
the City of New York is taking a
hand in the subway strike and has
much to say. And criticizing mayor
Walker and is warning Mr.. Walker
and his appointed police commissioner
Warren, that the people of New York
will not tolerate any police violence
towards the striking subway workers;
it is bad enough to be compelled to
strike for living wage, but to have
the police acting under orders from
Warren-brutally clubbing peaceful
strikers is condition that the people
of New York will not tolerate.
1t was good enough in 1921 when
the milkmen of New York went out
on strike, compelled to stike for
living wage-Mr. Hylan then mayor

COCHRAN Is LEADING
HOPPE BY 500 TO 334

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, February 11-Welker
Cochran of Los Angeles, leading by
500 to 334, tonight will resume his
attempt to wrest the 1872 billiard
crown from Willie Hoppe.
In the first block of 1900 point
match Cochran persistently lead the
champion last night, but neither man
was at his best.
Twenty three innings consumed
nearly four hours and produced the
unimpressive averages of % 1922 and
Is 4~22> for challenger and champion,
respectively. Cochran made the only
run of the night that went past the
century mark when he ran up q
score of 121 in his twelfth stanza.
The best that Hoppe could do was
80. Cochran won the bank at the
opening Of the match. He was able
to score only 2, but the champion
failed to take advantage of his
opportunities and missed a cushion
draw on his second try. From then
on the battle pursued a lusterless
course.
1t was Hopes first defense of the
title which he regained early in the
year from Erich Hagenlacher.

ERE IS q lesson In Jabbing, by
Spike Webb, boxing coach
at the United States Naval
4 Il Academy. and coach of the
A. f.. F. boxers during the
war, and the United States Olympic
teams Of 1920 and 1924:
There are three methods of jabbing
The first Is stepping in and delivering
a fast jab to the face "a blow struck
straight and fast with either hand
but generally with the LETT. The
second is the recoil, or, in other words,
left feint for the face followed by
a left jab to the face. The third is
working the left hand close to the
opponents face through a series Of
feints and then delivering a snappy
left jab to the face.
The left foot is always out Ad-
vance on your opponent by sliding
forw ard, in short slides. with the right
foot bringing up each time.
The boxer with fine ability to jab
can win on that alone. Many a great
fighter, with a heavy punch, has been
jabbed into defeat by a clever boxer
who never let up from the start to
the finish. An excellent jabber can
keep a heavy hitter away at all times.
For only one round this pecking.
