MEXICO CITY, by MaiD-To-
wards the end of August the radical
mine workers of Jalisco, belonging
to the local state federation, drove
out the non-union elements recently
introduced by the companies owning
the Amparo mines. They seized the
mines, and under the leadership Of
two Communists, David Siqueiros and
Reyes Peres, established an armed
guard over the property, pending
guarantees that the non-union work
ers would not be restored, that the
company would treat with the ma
jority, would grant wage increases
and certain safety devices.
The workers introduced by the COM
pany were agents of the GROIN and
the Catholic unions who were hastily
organized and admitted into the
GROIN. The action was partly due
to the desire of the companies to
break the radical unions; and partly
to the determination of GROIN to get
foothold in the mining industry,
since most of the miners were out
side of GROIN.
Boss Propaganda.
To the same end, a national decree
was issued earlier taking the solu-
tion Of all miners strikes out of the
hands of local governors and vesting
it in the Department of Industry,
Commerce and Labor, i.e under the
direct control of Morones and GROIN.
To meet the situation the Minis
workers in Jalisco seized the mines.
In this they were aided by the armed
peasants of the vicinity. The mine
workers, seeing themselves out-man-
euvered, had recourse to diplomats
channels and sent out extravagant
stories of "red revolts" and danger
to foreign residents" Morones at
the same time demanded that the
GROIN workers, who he declared to
be in the majority, but menaced By
the combined force of the armed
workers and peasants, be reinstated.

EOliCe brutality"
Attention is called to the police
brutality under the present admin
stration of the state and New York
city which has been an outstanding
feature of all strikes in the last two
years. The Baumes laws are charac-
terized as "a powerful reactionary
instrument for use against the whole
stratum of the poorer section of the
population"
The open use of the city authority
to prevent organization of the trac-
ton workers and the appearance of
the frame-up system in the needle
trades strugges are shown as evidence
of increasing reaction.
The increasing use and the growing
viciousness of injunctions in all labor
struggles is shown by the report to
be further evidence of the use of the
state power against the labor move
ment and also of the failure of the
official labor leadership to establish
a labor party but instead continues
its policy of supporting the capitalist
parties.
The Role of Socialist Party.
Relative to the socialist party the
statement says:
There has been set up in New
York state by the socialist party lead
ership, as part of it's national policy,
an open and shameless alliance with
the most reactionary section of A. F.
of L. officialdom. The frame-ups,
sluggings, wholesale raids and ar
rests, injunctions against the rank
and file, Imprisonment of hundreds of
strikers and pickets, the open use of
gunmen and gangsters, the war on
militant trade unionism that has been
carried on in the needle trades for
the last two years in cooperation with
the government, the bosses and the
police, all have received the sanction
and open support of the socialist par
ty leadership"
"In the field of social legislation
the socialist leaders appear" says the
statement, "as a reformist veil for
the absolute reaction which continues
to make the policy of the labor move
ment that of support of the capitalist
parties"
New York City is characterised as
"the worst slum center in the United
States" with school children of work
ers' families underfed and teachers
underpaid. Graft and corruption re-
sulting in high prices and poor quail
ity of food used by workers" is shown
to be inseparable from the capitalist
party city and state administrations.
Under the head of Proposals for
United Action" the New York Dis
trict of the Workers (Communist)
Party says:
Proposals For United Action.
81. We stand first of all for the
organization of labor party based
on the trade unions and including all
workers organizations and political
parties supporting a minimum pro-
gram agreed upon and opposing the
political parties of American capital
ism in all election campaigns.
Pending the establishment of a
labor party we propose united labor

Concentrate In South.
WALSENBURG, Colo, Oct. "a
Satisfied that the miners in the
northern coal fields of Colorado are
coming out in greater and greater
numbers, the strike committee has is
sued orders for a special effort to
make the southern fields strike one
hundred per cent effective.
With just week of successful
strike behind them, the miners con-
tinued with perfect morale and great
determination to picket in spite of
every effort Of the company gunner
and deputy sheriffs. The coal pro-
duction of Colorado reached some
point near to zero at the end of last
week, and a hastily summoned con-
ference of Huerfano county commits
sioners is being held to decide on the
best method of controlling the
walk-out. The present decision is to
not call state troopers or militia un-
til the larger force of deputies being
sworn in can try it's luck at suppress
ing picketing.
More Vote To Strike.
A large number of mass meetings
of miners not yet on strike were ad-
dressed by members of the strike
committees and in practically every
case voted to tie up the mines, de-
clared Roger Francezon, chairman of
the General Executive Board of the
l. w. W., which issued the call for
the strike.
Francezon predicts that within a
few days every mine without excep-
ton will be shut down.

Women and Babe Jailed.


25.-Twenty miners wives, one with
babe in arms, were among 90 pic
kets arrested at the Ideal mine in this
vicinity in the drive by county and
company authorities to stop the mass
strike movement that already num-
bers 5000 in all Colorado fields and
that is esulting in the daily closing
of new mines.
Two mines were chosen for the
picket drive and written instructions
concerning duties and location were
given each of the 500 pickets as they
left the headquarters of the Indus
trial Workers of the World the or
ganization leading the walkout. They
succeeded in closing down the Cam
eron mine, belonging to the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Co., a Rockefeller con-
Germ, but were met at the Ideal mine,
another c. f. l. property, by large
force of armed company thugs who
held the pickets under cover of
weapons until the deputies arrived
and arrested 60.
DOItuS Il UT IlCh0LS.
Bonds of $500 each were posted in
behalf Of the II pickets arrested and
held since the second day of the
strike for violation of a state law
which declares strikes illegal unless
30 days notice is given. But pickets
to an estimated number of 500, in
cluding many women, are still stand
ing watch at mines in the vicinity of
Aguilar and Walsenburg.
County authorities are asking ap-
preparation of funds to enable them
to swear in enough deputies to handle
the large number of pickets. The
Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. has an
nounced its intention Of asking the
aid of state police.
