MINERS SHOCKED
WHEN LEWIS SAYS
THEY ARE LUCKY

CHARLEROI, June 1.-THE min
ers here are still expressing their
disgust over the speech made here
by John L. Lewis, principle speaker
at the rally at which the rank and
file had hoped to hear some definite
plan for breaking down the coal COM
pany terrorism here, and some heart
ening assurance that when they defy
the orders of the sheriff and go on
the picket, they would have the off
cials of their union with them.
Happy, Happy Miners.
Instead, Lewis and his henchmen,
Phil Murray and Van Dittner, gave
them a lecture on how well off they
were. Lewis reiterated his famous
declaration that the miners of Amer
lea are the best paid workers in the
world, getting not only far more
than the miners of Europe, but draw
ing better money than the other
skilled crafts.
Too many of the miners in the
present lockout have during their in
forced leisure come into contact with
bricklayers and carpenters to fall for
this line of talk, and the sorrowful
silence with WHICH the great crowd
listened to the fat Lewis loud and
patriotic heroics may have convinced
even him that something is wrong
with the old line of talk.

Coal Cops TerrOrize
Mine Districts; Admit
Shooting at Strikers

PITTSBURGH, Pa, (FP) June
17.-Coal and iron police are pre-
cipitating a reign of terror in the
area around Pittsburgh, affected
by the coal strike. With hundreds
of strikers and their families be-
ing evicted from their shabby clap
board homes by deputy sheriffs on
the orders of the coal bosses, with
non-union companies arming their
workers and doubling their guards,
the whole region is taking on the
appearance of bitter warfare.
Not far behind the privately paid
coal and iron police is sheriff
Braun Of Allegheny county who
has armed his deputies with high
powered rifles and given orders to
kill strikers who may be armed.
Coal and iron police admit having
fired repeatedly at strikers, who in
several instances have sought to
defend themselves.
Union officials have advised
Braun to watch the coal and iron
police.

to split the labor movement and send
Sacco and Vanzetti to the electric
chair, whose first meeting in April

After accomplishing nothing dur
ing two months except, through its

mass meeting, it has now called off
the mass meeting until hearing the
verdict of Governor Fuller.
This sell-out Of the two workers

rilOus attacks on the Republic in his
paper, "L'Action Franchise" in per

allowed to make arrangements

The painful contrast between this
coddling of the Royalist Daudet. and
the brutal treatment accorded NJ. Sc
mard, Communist editor of Human

munist Party, is bitterly commented
upon in the Communist ana labor

recently arrested on a charge similar
to that which finally landed Daudet
in jail, and was rushed off to prison
without being permitted to say good
