Letters From Our Readers

seven-hour day in a comparatively
short period Of time, are unanswer-
able by the reptile press, and so we
may again expect campaign of RI
diculous falsehoods about the Com
munists in place of recent attempts
to present illogical" arguments why
the Soviet Union was doomed to fail
ure. 1t is easy for liars to juggle fig
ures, but even such expert liars as
newspaper writer's will find it hard to
explain away the tremendous prog
ress of the Russian working class and
the establishment of a work-day low
.er than in any of the so-called "pros-
porous" bourgeois nations.
Thus the reason is quite evident
why the Times has abandoned its
more subtle methods of propaganda
and returned to the postwar days
when the orgy of ink-slinging to paint
the Russian revolution in horrible col.
ors to its timid readers was at its
height. Fortunately, such methods
are now received with skepticism by
the American workers.-Wm. Schnei

The Fake Cooperative Conference

AFTER all the big boobs from all
A over the United States spoke, the
conference elected a cooperative con-
ference committee which is supposed
to have represented on it mine work
ers, coal operators, and the sO-called
public. The coal operators are repre-
scented by Daniel T. Pierce, chairman
of the Anthracite Coal Operators
Conference of New York and f. H.
Suenders, general manager of the
Madeira Coal Co. of Frackville, Pa.
The coal miners are represented by
Thomas Kennedy and Chris Golden
of District z. The so-called public is
represented by Raymond E. Gibbs,
secretary Of the Scranton Chamber of
Commerce; c. W. Laycock, president
of the Miners National Bank of

The Khan In Colorado.

Editor, Daily Worker:-
Some issues back 1 read in the
WORKER an article which stated
that an l. W. W. caravan into Ere
mont county was to be met at the
county line by Fremont County Wig
Hence Committee. | also read the
same article in the capitalist press.
/ will now make a correction. The
mayor Of Canon City did sign an ul-
timatum to the wobbles in coniunc-
ton with four more towns in the
county, but as hundreds of Klansmen
in Canon City and the county are
either members of the /. w. w. or
sympathizers, they (the |. w. W.
did come into the county and held
large meetings and closed all mines.
The Daily American, the official khan
paper, spoke of them as a nice clean
and well-dressed bunch of men and
upheld their constitutional right of
free speech and assemblage. Some
years ago this feat could not have
been accomplished. The story of the
vigilence committee is pure capital
list propaganda. Of course l do not
mean to infer that the heads of the
Khan have any love for the Industrial
Workers of the World or any organi-
zation that is fighting for economic
freedom. W. C. BLOYED.

THE left wing must take cognizance
of chese conferences and must take
definite steps towards fighting the il
lusion which John L. Lewis and his
reactionary gang are spreading thru
out the mine workers membership.
1t must take definite steps to coun-
ter-act the propaganda for wage re-
auctions, for arbitration, and for the
speed-up and against the no-strike
propaganda and against the extension
of the present 5-year agreement
which has lost to the miners the con-
ditions which they have fought and
won thru years of struggle. All this
must be taken into consideration thru
the fact that all last winter and sum-
mer the miners have been more or
less out of work and are in very
bad financial condition. And with the
struggle of the soft coal miners which
is going down in defeat because of
Lewis reactionary policy, the coal
operators are taking definite steps
for an onslaught against the miners
union in it's place where it has its
last strong foothold.

This Plays Not the Thing
Tia Juana" at the Bijou Leaves an Expectant
Audience Gold

THE average individual who leads
1 quiet domestic life, attends to
his daily grind and reads detective
stories for thrill likes nothing bet
ter than to see portrayed on stage
the kind of a life the cave man in
him Graves for. This average indivi-
dual is just the sucker who probably
parked $3.50 or $500 if he wanted to
share his contemplated joy with an
escort--in the box office of the
Bijou Theatre to see "Tia Juana,"
advertised as melodrama based on
the doings of the wicked in the bad
lands on the California Mexican bor-
der. -..
What a false alarm! The dramatic
child of Chester de Vonde and Kill
bourn Gordon could not have been
less thrilling had the scene Of the
play been laid in Plymouth, Vermont
and the thing itself written by. Cal
vim Coolidge's grandmother. The
customers who came to laugh re-
manned to cry, not for either the
heroine or the hero-who were seized
and saved in true melodramatic
fashion-but from sheer nervous ex-
haustion with the strain of expect
ing something to happen that never
did.
With such a hot potato in their
hands what could the cast do? We
wish them better luck the next time.

AFTER the hullabaloo which the re-
"A dictionary mine workers union of
ficials, coal operators, and the So
called public" represented by the
Chamber of Commerce, raised about
the cooperative conference, which
they held at Mt. Carmel, Penna., on
the anthracite industry, it will do
we'll for the rank and file of the min
ers' union and the left wing officials
to actually see what went on at this
conference. The reactionary machine
of the U. NJ. w. of A. in the anthra-
cite has taken step towards COM
plete sell-out of the miners union and
for a complete turn over of the min
ers' union into an efficiency and
speed-up organization for the coal OPP
orators. This conference marks this
step.

Los Angeles Times On Russia.
Editor, Daily Worker
To The DAILY WORKER:--If
there is any newspaper in the coun-
try that shows more bitter hatred to-
wards the labor movement in general
and the Communists in particular
than the Los Angeles Times, that pa
per would be hard to find. So it is
quite fitting that the Times should
hail the tenth anniversary of the Rus
sian Revolution as it does in an edi-
torial, "a Decade in Russia" The
hero of the theory that high-wage de-
mands for the American workers
would be an economic absurdity" has
the following to say of Soviet rule:
Weird Lies.
at is now ten years since Lenin
seized power in Russia at the head of
small but compact and highly organ
lied group of factory workers and at
tempted to put into practice the doc
trines of MARKHAM Communism. The
record of tragic failure that followed
is one of the most Illuminating in the
worlds history masked as it is by a
fog This fog is by no means dis
PEELED, but it is beginning to lift lit
tie, and the outlines that may be seen
now indicate that in few years more
the bourgeoisie will be as firmly in
control of Russia as they are of
France, and that Communism will not
even be accorded lip-service."
The Truth.
1t is true that the fog is lifting,
but the mountain-peak facts which
stand out with clarity are not the
ones that the Times would wish, but
rather the opposite, so the editor
makes it his duty to do everything
possible that the workers of America
should not see thru that fog which
the capitalist press has thrown around
the achievements of the Soviet Union
1t is precisely because the bourgeoisie
will never again get their grip on the
Russian workers and peasants that
the Times and the capitalist class it
represents shows such bitter hostility
to the Russian Revolution; were there
the slightest possibility for such a
counter-revolution as they hope for,
they would sing different tune. No
one believes the fairy tale spun by
the Times, least of all the author of
it himself.
Still Hoping.
There are few papers that still cling
to the hope that Soviet rule will be
replaced again by the rule of the cap
italists. Those hopes have been reluc-
family given up as the dictatorship of
the workers and peasants has step by
step consolidated itself, until today its
greatest enemies admit the stability
of the Soviet government against all
odds, and the vitality of Socialist
economy. The die-hards like the
Times will vent their rage on the an
niversaries celebrated by the working
class turnout the world, and attempt
desperately to keep the facts from the
masses.
Such powerful arguments for work
ers' rule as the establishment of the

IT would be we'll to go about three
months back when the conference
was first suggested and see that all
over the anthracite region in about
seven or eight of the most strategic
places, section conferences took place
before the actual conference for the
whole region took place. The main
purpose of the conference as stated
by the bunch that was running them
was to boost the anthracite coal in
dustry.'
/ At these conferences, district mine
officials spoke, also presidents of
coal companies and representatives
of the state government. Their main
talks were mo more strike in the an
thracite,' wage reduction" "arbitra-
tion," and "more efficient methods
of producing coal by the miners and
more production" The seven confer
ences that were held We're about all
the same, only held in different stra-
tegic places. These eliminated in the
anthracite conference held at Mt
Carmel for the whole of the anthra-
cite territory where about the same
thing took place on a larger scale.

with a beautiful shrine city, whose
wealth is coveted both by bandit
chief and a cruel dictator. Doug APP

WARRINER, chairman of the An
+" thracite Operators Conference,
expressed n belief that strike in
the industry would be forgotten in
the desire for general prosperity of
the region, (Which, of course. means
prosperity for the coal operators) +.
Then also the so-called rank radical,
former socialist. Kennedy, who is now
secretary Of the u. M. w. of A. made
the following statement, "The mine
workers have always stood for
square for cooperation. The princi-
pies of the United Mine Workers of
America contain the very essence of
cooperation. The cooperative efforts
Of the United Mine Workers is the
source of it's strength" And further
ne stated, "Tho question has been
raised as to the effect Of cooperation
and its results on the consumers Of
anthracite coal We know the reac-
ton as result Of no cooperation.
Too often have the mine workers
been compelled to engage in a con-
troversy and resist propaganda
which sought to blame all the ills of
the industry on tho mine worker" It
can be seen that the speeches Of both
the so-called leaders Of the mine
workers union and the coal operators
tally, and the nine Officials are now

alize the mine work. rs ;Ini0n and II

THE papers all over the anthracite
spread far and wide that at last
q new procedure in industry is TAX
ing place at the Mt. Carmel parley.
1t would be we'll for US to actually go
over the proceedings of the confer
ence and see what took place. On the
one hand we have them discussing the
increasing of the production of coal,
without increasing the cost. On the
other hand, nothing is said about the
terrible conditions the miners of the
anthracite have to work under Moth
ing was said about the number of
miners that are hurt and killed thru
out the anthracite because of the
speedup system and the carelessness
of the coal operators in not comply
ing with the rules, laws and regula-
lions, as even now laid down by the
state government. Nothing was said
about the cuts which are taking place
in the actual wages of the coal min
ers thruout the anthracite by the cut
ting Of pay on dead work and increas-
ing the amount of work to be done.

in this our officials of the U. NJ. w.
Z Of A. participate, without putting
in even a squeak of protest about
these conditions. They, in fact en-
dorse such conditions and are taking
steps towards furthering them. The
papers hailed as great step, the
fact that the chairman of the An
thracite Coal Operators Conference
Warmer. and John L. Lewis, the
president of the Mine Workers
Union shook hands and talked things
over at Mt. Carmel. After three days
of repeating by John L. Lewis and
the reactionary district officials, that
the miners union will help the coal
operators in getting out more coal
without an increase in wages, the
conference closed with the following
statement by John l.. Lewis: Labor
expresses itself as gratified by the
results of the meeting" and announ-
ces his intention of maintaining a
lasting peace in the anthracite" and
proposes that the present agreement
be extended for another five years.

NO REAL SHORTAGE
OF LABOR IN MONT.

HELENA. - Although there has
been slight shortage in several
Montana counties during this years
harvest season, the problem Of har-
vest labor has in reality been much
less pressing than ordinarily, SAYS the
state department of labor. Large
harvests have been spread over. a. long
period of time enabling farmers to
utilize available supplies to better adj
vantage than usual.
Wages for farm labor at the pres-
ent time in Montana average around
S6O.25 per month with board. and
$77.5O per month without board. This
IS Just 83 cents lower than the aver
age for all western states and SOS. sc
higher than the average for the
United States as regards wages ner
month without board.
The, average wage this year for the
nation is $49.77 without board. for
the western states, $78.33. The 1926
average for western states this month
was $77.31 without board.
AS a general rule over the nation
prices for farm labor are higher in
October than at any other time dur

OLSEN PLAYERS
PLEASE CROWD


Before a large audience at tAa FL
len theater last Thursday evening the
Moroni Olsen players, brought here
under the auspices Of the theater arts
division Of the Bozeman Wonan's
club, presented "Liliesgof the Field"
a clever comedy, with their usual out
standing success.
Bryon Kay Foulger in the role Of
the vicar of a acountry village in Eng-
land was especially good, while inter-
est centered around his twin daugh-
ters, Dorothy Adams. who had pIeas-
ed previous audiences and Marion
Clayton, new member of the cast
this year. Moroni Olsen himself as
BaTnaby Haddon, is always a favor
ite. Lorena Thatcher was success
as the wife Of the vicar, and Janet
Young as her mother, Mrs. Brooke
Walter, carried a difficult part well.
Lila Eccles, Harry r. Alien, Joseph
H. Williams and Gordon Nelson had
parts of less importance, but all dis
played ability in making the story
Of the play effective.
The Morooni Olsen players will ap-
pear here again, under the same aus
pices, in February. The Bozeman
Wcman's club is being Congratulated
for its initiative in bringing such high
class productions to this city.
