BUSINESS men,
OPERATORS join
AGAINST Miners
"Fraternal" Orders Hit
at Foreign-bo

BELLAIRE, O., Dec. IS. -- Organ.
izations Of business men and agents
of the coal companies in various era
ternal societies have opened a new
drive on the striking miners here.
The drive is directed especially at
foreign-born strikers, composing a
large percentage of the membership
of the United Mine Workers of
America.
The Kiwanis club, the Bellaire
chamber of commerce, the Americas
club and the United American Me
chanics have passed resolutions con-
demning the strike, urging deporta-
ton of foreign-born strikers and call
ing upon all federal and state officers
to take appropriate action"
Miners Reply.
The striking miners have replied to
these attacks, given wide circulation
in the local press, with the following
resolution:
Whereas the miners are on strike
battling for decent American condi-
that will make it
possible for the miner to bring to his
family the enjoyment of some of
the fruits of civilization; and
Whereas, in this struggle the coal
operators are being assisted by the
by the courts which issue
injunctions denying the basic rights
of the workers and protecting the in
terests of the operators; and
Whereas in Ohio, company guards
and marshalls, in Pennsylvania, the
constabulary, in Colorado, the Nation
al Guard, are securing their victims
each day; and
Whereas goading the miners to
desperation, the coal companies are
eYicting the miners and their families
from the company houses, throwing
them into the biting cold of the Win
ter; and
Whereas the miners who are fight
ing against these odds are called dis
loyal and destroyers of American CIV
ilization; Therefore be it
RESOLVED that this Local Union No.
1926, U. M. w. of A. in Neffs, Ohio
go on record against all attempts to
outlaw the miners and their organiza-
ton and against every attempt of the
coal operators and their cohorts to
mask their cowardly actions under the
guise of patriotism, and we declare
that the miners will continue to fight
till decent conditions are installed in
the mining industry and the rights OF
the workers are established"

Philadelphia Strike
Of UphOlsterers Is
Showing Solidarity
Especial to the Daily Worker)

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10. - Off
GERS of local IT of the Upholsterers
International now on strike against
the intolerable conditions of employ
ment in their industry, particularly
at the firm of D. Becker & Son Up
holstered Furniture Co., announced
yesterday that the strike would con-
tinue until the present threatened
wage cut by the bosses would be
overcome.
In pointing to the unusual solid
arity displayed by the striking work
ers, the union officers called attention
to the fact that this solidarity is all
the more significant because the union
membership is composed of workers
who have had little experience in the
trade union movement. Most Of them,
it was announced, are militant ele-
ments from the ranks of young Amer
leans.
About a year ago the bosses began
campaign of regular wage cutting.
The present wage standard is no more
than so per cent Of the last year level.
The present strike is the result Of a
further wage cut threat.
Other bad conditions Include vici-
Gus speed up system, restrictions on
shop rights, limitations of lunch per-
iods, unsanitary toilet facilities, etc.
Wages range from about $1,000 to
$50 and in few cases $35 per week.

kuvE TO PUT
BIG NAVY PLAN
into OPERATION
Billion Dollar Program
Outlined

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia bill
lion dollar appropriation for a big
navy program is the policy Of the
Coolidge administration that will be
introduced into congress this week.
The navy general board has been
working out the details of the pro-
gram for months and their recommen-
dations were the basis for the big
navy program enunciated by Coolidge
in his message to the opening session
of the SEVENTEEN congress, which is
the most ambitious program of navy
building ever proposed either in time
of war or peace. 1t even exceeds the
navy program of the Wilson admin
istration on the eve of this country
entering the world war.
Twenty-six New Cruisers.
According to members of congress
with whom Secretary Wilbur con-
ferred today concerning the attitude
of congress toward such program,
it calls for 26 cruisers of the 10000
ton type, to cost about $15,000,000
each, or approximately $40O,000,000
in all; 8 airplane carriers, fleet SUBJ
marines and 18 destroyer leaders to
round out the fleet
The program also calls for an au-
thorization for four new battleshi7s.
These battleships will cost about
$6O,OO0,oOO, although they may great
ly exceed that amount on account Of
increased cost of construction.

"The house of Morgan has been
long known as warm supporter of
the Mussolini regime. Morgan and
Wall Street have been lending large
sums of money to the Italian govern

most favorable conditions in refund
ing Italy's war-debt to America,
thereby assisting the black-shirted
bandits in further crushing the trade
unions and labor movement of Italy
generally.
Greco and Carrillo must be saved.
The vital interests of the American
workers demand it. The conspiracy

LONG JAIL TERMS
Steel Company Judge
Is Vicious
BY WILLIAM J. WHITE.


PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 10
Judge Mcconnell today sentenced
three of the defendants in the Wood
lawn case, Pete Muselin, Tom lima
and Milan Resetar to five years con-
finement in the workhouse. Stew,
Bradich, the other defendant, was
given two and a half years in the
same prison. The judge refused the
bail offered and the defense attorney,
retained by the International Labor
Defense, has now to send the papers
to the Superior Court sitting in
Philadelphia in order to try to get the
men out on bail. Plans are being
made by the l. L. D. to make the APP
peal to the higher court Immediately.
Company Inspired Raid.
The defendants were arrested after
a raid by the police and troopers led
oy the agents of the Jones and
Laughlin steel corporation, which
yirtually owns the town of Woodlawn,
rem. They were charged with viola
ton of the vicious Sedit.on Act on the
basis of some of the literature found
in their possession. 1t was shown
that the literature is legally printed
and circulated throughout the coun-
try. No evidence worth considering
was introduced against the defend
ants.
All of the defendants are active and
devoted workers in the labor move
ment, Muselin having been secretary
of the BARRIERS Union.
The four defendants were first ar
rested, together with seven others, on
Armistice day, November IL, 1926.
They were charged with violation of
the Flynn Anti Sedition Act of
Pennsylvania. Three of the arrested
were released and the remaining eight
were held for the Grand Jury. They
were released under one thousand
dollars bail each.
Steel Company PrOsecutes.
The papers proved to be defective,
and the case was thrown out of court
before it ever reached the grand jury,
but the eight defendants were re-
arrested the same day on the same
charge. The case was later on
quashed by Judge Reedy who found
that the evidence in the case was not
sufficient to warrant a trial.
The Jones and Laughlin Steel Cor
poration, however, did not rest, and
TOUR of the defendants were again ar
rested. This time the case went to
court, and early in July of this year
they were all found guilty after a
mock trial which lasted for more than
a week. The bail was set at five
thousand dollars each, which was fur
nished.
A motion for new trial filed by
attorney H..H. Wilson of Beaver was
denied by Judge William A. Neon
nell who tried the case in the Beaver
County Court.
Arrangements are being made to
appeal the case as the records show
grave errors by the judge both in his
rulings and in the admission of testi-
mony which should not have been ad-
mitted.
The International Labor Defence
and the American Civil Liberties
Union are cooperating in the defence
of these cases, which have aroused
great interest in Pennsylvania and
throughout the country.

the persuasive questioning of Hender-
son, testified that he had identified
Greco and Garlic as the murderers of

nation that he is the secretary and
organizer of the Bronx branch of the
Fascist League of North America,
with headquarters at 18th st. and
