ent wages will continue in force. The
joint commission is empowered to es-
tablish temporary scale, when it gets
around to it, to endure from Nov. l.

it cannot agree on this scale, it is to
add one more member to it's number

In any event, since there are no
restrictions or reservations in the

unity of the miners union is definite

Meanwhile Rice Miller, spokesman
for the Illinois mine owners has made
quite clear exactly what the settle
ment means to the mine owners, stat
ing, "The period from October to Feb
ruary each year always develops a
maximum demand for coal as to the
number of users, because of seasonal
requirements for household and al
lied purposes" said Mr.. Miller SIN
view of this fact, it seems wisdom to
accept this truce agreement and
thereby guarantee an adequate sup
ply of fuel to prevent any possible
consumer anxiety panicky buying or
excessive prices"
Mr.. Miller is of the opinion that
there will be an abundance of coal
by next February, and with the adj
vent of summer, the mine owners
will be again in very strong posi-
ton in which to insist on reduction
of wages.

PRAVDA DENOUNCES UNPRECEDENTED CRIMES OF
TROTSKY-VUY0VITCH OPPOSITIONAL METHODS

MOSCOW, Oct. 2.--Emphasizing
the fact that the organization of
an illegal printing office to carry
on campaign against the Com
munist Party of the u. S. S. r., is
unprecedented in the history of the
organization, Pravda points out
that this is the work of the whole
TrOtskyist opposition whose lead
ers are entirely responsible for this
crime"
The opposition leaders show no
intention of disclaiming this re-
spOnsibility, it continues. Preobra-
jenski, SharOv, Serebriakov, three
of the opposition leaders even
openly declared in official dOcu-
ments addressed to the Central
Committee that they are "politi-
cally responsible for this action"
while TrOtsky took upon himself
their defense. Pravda continues:
Must Account to Party.
After this it is impossible to
have any doubt that the Party will
call to account the audacious lead
ers of the opposition" Referring
to documents of the opposition OF
1923 to show that the opposition
is carrying on a struggle against
the regime established by Lenin
and under Lenin's direction, Prav-
da declares that the Party will
with full unanimity welcome the
decision of the Executive Commit

Virgin Mary might well have shocked
the sensibilities of the shaman of

When Attorney Snitkin objected to
some of the questions asked Straton
by the assistant district attorney as
leading to conclusions" he was
promptly informed by the magistrate
that "men of the calibre and intelli-
gence of the plaintiff could not be
led"
Attorney Snitkin, in arguing a mo-
ton for dismissal of the case, point
ed out that it has taken ''six months
for the literature and blasphemous
material to outrage the sensibilitieg
of Mr.. Straton.'

court after adjournment, the presi-
dent of the Association for the Ad-
vancement of Atheism stated that
next Saturday he would produce
some material from the pen of the

In newspaper circles the charges
preferred by Straton are regarded as
another limehght stunt planned by
that assiduous publicity-seeker.
It is believed, however, that the
case may have serious consequences
for the defendant and for the free

HERESY HUNT ON
IN YORKvILLE;IS
LED BY STRATON
U1dine Does Not Lisp,
Says Divine

The Rev. John Roach Straton, the
chief holy man of New York City, has
appeared in Yorkville court with a
complaint against Charles Smith,
president of the American Society for
the Advancement of Atheism.
Adjournment of the case was had
for a week after Magistrate Gott-
lieb to all intents and purposes con-
stituted himself the defender of this
city's greatest publicity hunter and
insisted that former Judge Leonard
Snitkin, acting for Smith, should use
the title of "doctor" in addressing a
question to the harassed business
agent of god.
Panied by Pamphlets.
Straton, who processes to believe
all the ancient dogmas and who
breaches the fearsome religion of the
most revolving sections of the old tes-
lament, claims that he has been out
ragged in an intolerable manner by the
receipt and perusal Of atheist litera-
ture sent him by the defendant.
Remarks referring to Uldine Ut
ley, the girl evangelist who is a pro-
tege of Straton's, in an uncomplimeu-
tary manner, and attributed to Mr..
Smith, seem to have irked the holy
man beyond endurance. His defense
of her before Magistrate Gottlieb was
almost as impassioned as have been
his assaults upon those heretics who
scott at the story of Jonah and the
whale.
Is Strong for Uldine.
Relating an alleged conversation
With the president of the atheist as
ISOLATION relative to the merits and
dement's of this inspired and per-
sonable young lady, the staunch de-
fender of amphibious christianity told
the court:

lisped, that her utterances were par
rot-like, as he had claimed, and that
she was being commercialized by re-
ligious exploiters."

| its declaration of October IS, 1926,
solemnly undertook to cease the fac
tional underground work against the
party.
This promise was given under the
direct threat of expulsion of the lead
ers of the Opposition, Trotsky and
Zinoviev, from the Central Commit
tee of the Communist Party of the
U. S. S. R. But only very few
days later this August promise met
the same fate as the declaration of
the 10th of October. The Opposition
in the most contemptuous manner
violated the promise it gave to the
whole Party and to the whole Inter
national, and thereby made the con
tinuation of Trotsky and Vuyovitch
as members of the Executive Com
mittee of the Comintern absolutely
/ impossible.
Violate Pledge.
Notwithstanding the promise it
gave to the August plenum of the
Central Committee and the Central
Control Commission, the Opposition
continued to form it's organizational
centers which in fact represent moth
ing more nor less than an attempt to
form embryonic nuclei for a second
Trotskyist party parallel with the
Communist Party of the U. S. S. r.
At the same time it continued to
maintain and strengthen it's connec-
tons with various renegade groups
abroad, including the Maslov-Fischer
group in Germany, Souvarine in
France, etc.
"The descriptive work in the Com
munist Party of the U. S. S. R. was
supplemented by disruptive work in
the Comintern. To the menace of a
formation of a second party outside
and against the Communist Party of
the q. S. S. R. was added the menace
of the creation of new Fourth In

cat a time when the international
position of the U. S. S. R. has be-
come extremely acute and when i'm
perialist intervention hangs directly
over the first proletarian state, the
Opposition openly allies itself with
the groups which represent the worst
dregs of the international labor
movement and which stand on the
verge of direct counter revolution;
which spread venomous SANDER about
the U. S. S. R. among the European
proletariat and strive to paralyze the
will of the European proletariat to
defend the U. S. S. R. with talk
about 'Thermidor, Degeneration,
becoming Kulakized' (boss peasant
orientation) etc.
Notwithstanding the utter col
lapse of these groups which is parti-
cularly illustrated by the results of
recent elections in Altoona, where the
ultra-left allies of the Opposition of
the Communist Party of the U. S. 5.
R. obtained little more than 800
votes, the Opposition continues to
