MITTENS TAKING
REST OF BANKS
OFF BROTHERHOOD

CLEVELAND, June 19,-The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
Convention here will be presented
with a project to hand over to the
Company Union outfit, the Mitten
Management, Inc. Of Philadelphia, all
Brotherhood banks and real estate
projects, except those already sold
out to capitalists.
The Mittens, who have already
taken over the union bank in Phila-
delphia, are in the market for the
rest of them, and the delegates to
the convention will be quietly tipped
off that the propositions are on the
verge of ruin. The possibility that
Encouragement had a great deal
to do with their ruin will not be
emphasized, but all those on the in
side will strongly suspect it.
The end seems near for Grand
Chief Stones most noted project Of
class collaboration, but the end comes
thru the inefficiency of those who
were most anxious to make such
things work.
Brotherhood financial institutions
involved in the proposed merger are:

POLISH SENTENCE
ON white SLAYER
Especial To The DAILY woRKER.)

Especial To The DAILY WOkkEk.)
MOSCOW, June 18 Delayed
The press continues to express dis
satisfaction with the verdict of the
extraordinary tribunal in the case of
Voikoff's assassination.
The "Pravda" points out that the
tribunal, especially by its request for
the Communication of the sentence, did
everything possible to emphasize its
indulgent attitude towards such
criminals.
"The gesture of the tribunal says
the "Pravda", "is challenge to the
public opinion of the Soviet Union.
The Polish government has shown
that. it does not desire to fulfill the
minimal demands Of the Soviet Union
and it has taken no measures to con.
duct an adequate investigation Of the
case. On the contrary, the tribunal
has exerted all efforts in order that
the murder which was prearranged as
IAN act of individual vengeance"
should not be refuted by the judiciary
inquest.
''The Polish government once more,
emphasized that in order to preserve
friendship with the reactionaries, ths
elements of old Tsarist Russia, it will
not hesitate to still. further str in
relations with the people of the So
Wet Union.
"Rabotchaia Gszetta" consid rs
that the Polish government jump ]
at the bait offered by the British di l.
hards. The verdict will encourage in
stead Of prevent the future activi-
ties of the mercenary whiteguardist
assassins.

PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-The
fate of $4,000 central Pennsylvania
coal diggers hangs fire for another
week as the wage conference that was
to have been held in Philadelphia June
18th is postponed.
If the operators abrogate the Jack
sonville agreement a strike is almost
certain. This field has been continu-
ing on the old agreement under a
temporary truce, while the miners in
western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and part of Iowa were strik-
ing.
The 20 members of the central Penn
sylvania scale committee are ready
for a show down. At the close of the
May conference the operators issued
statement that amounts almost to
an ultimatum. They threatened that

Encouraged by public resentment
against the brazen admissions of labor

Subway workers told a reporter of
The DAILY WORKER that sentiment

Citing Samuel Untermyer's recent

that the enrolment Of the subway

Nearly 100000 was spent in

Samuel Untermyer at the transit

charged up to operating expenses

Although subsequent Investigations
proved conclusively that the much
advertised ATTACKS of foreigners" had
been made by retreating Shantungese
(northern) troops, the imperialist
powers not only slaughtered several
hundred Nationalists and civilians, but
sent threatening notes to the Nation
alist government demanding indemni-

Eugene Chen, foreign minister for
the Nationalist (Hankow) govern
ment, in reply to the imperialist notes
requested that an international com
mittee be appointed to investigate the
events at Marking. The imperialist
powers took no notice of Chen's re-
quest, and for a time it seemed that
the Marking events might be made
the excuse for an open war against
China.
Unlike Chen, Chang Kai-shek,
