the Ford Mo or Co.'s Highland Park
plant, as he hustles the visitor through
those departments where he is likely
to see the safest and cleanest work
under way. "The people have got to
cooperate with Ford" the same guide
informs you as he shifts his cud from
one cheek to the o.her, and adds,
folks don't appreciate what he's done
for them. The workers don't ap-
preciate it either"
When asked to explain what the
workers don't appreciate about ST.
Henry, the guide is quick to inform
you that the workers didn't appreciate
the sociological department formerly
operated in the Ford plants. "Mr.
Ford knew what was good for the
worker" he shouts. "Just like your
mother did when you were boy. She
didn't feed you beefsteak when you
needed milk.
Ford tried to keep his employees
from taking in too many roomers. A
man would come home from work at
night and find his wife flirting with

that. But the workers didn't under

Strike Spreads in All
Unorganized Fields
Especial to The Daily Worker

Especial to The Daily Worker,)
PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 2O.-The
following official statement from the
Save-the-U Union Committee was made
public yesterday by Pat Toohey, ma
tional secretary, for the committee,
regarding the strike in the morgan
lied coal fields called April 10th.
cover $1,000 miners are on strike
in Western Pennsylvania and West
Virginia in response to the call of the
Union Committee of the
United Mine Workers of America.
The committee considers this favor
able beginning in the accomplishment
of its task of organizing the 100000
unorganized miners in these states.
The movement will be spread until it
encompasses these great masses of
workers.
Movement Spreads.
"The Save-the- Union Committee is
developing its organization movement
in the face of unprecedented diff
culties. Unemployment has been
heavy for a long time throughout
these coal districts. The bitter mem
DRY of the betrayal of their last strike
by John L. Lewis during the great
struggle of 1922 when he left the
miners of these districts out of the
agreement finally arrived at, still
rankles in the hearts of the miners.
The employers, with their threats of
immediate eviction of strikers and
widespread use of gunner and ter
roristic tactics generally, are making
the most drastic efforts to stem the
spread of the strike and organiza-
ton movement.
"In spite of these difficulties, the
movement is spreading. It's progress
demonstrates, that the miners, har-
raised by low wages, dangerous
working conditions, speed-up systems,
robbery through company stores, lack
of checkweighmen, and general auto
cratic control by the operators, are
determined to establish the union and
to put an end to these intolerable con-
ditions.

Boast of Profits.

MANCHESTER, N. H., April 90
Hardly several weeks after the en-
forcement of a ten per cent wage
slash of the miserable wages of their
10000 workers who have been vicious
ly speeded up to produce more work
than ever before, the treasurer of the
Amoskeag Manufacturing Company,
one of the largest firms in the world,
declares that the year just past has
been the most profitable in the last
seven years.
Frederic Dumaine, the Amoskeag
official, announced to stockholders
meeting held several days ago that
there has been an increase of S508, IT'S
in the profits of the company over
and above the profits of last year.
The statement he issued to the finan-
cial journals did not mention the to-
tai amount of profits.
Dumaine recently attended meet
ing of the "Amoskeag Workers Con-
gress," a company union, when he
heard that even in this organization
there was much discomfort. The treas
urer, together with other company Of
ficials, succeeded in squelching any
possible protest at the company union
meeting, because the delegates" to
this meeting were all petty "straw
bosses" and other types OF foremen

FOR
MINERS RELIEF
Fine Program Tonight
at Manhattan Lyceum

The performance of "The Village
Youth" for the benefit of the strik-
ing miners by the Dorohitcher ORA
matte Club, originally intended to be
presented this evening at the Ukrai-
MAN Theatre, has been postponed to
the evening of May 10, due to the
illness Of two of the actors and the
fact that the theatres next available
date is May 10.

tendance at the relief concert being
given by the Ukrainian Committee

haitian Lyceum, 66 E. 4th st. The
well-known Miners Troupe of enter
tainers will present their program of
mining camp songs, dances, dialogues
and ACCORDION and banjo selections.
On the program will also be vocal
soloists and piano selections.
This is the first affair for miners
relief to be held by the Ukrainian
Committee, recently organized, and
all workers are urged to attend.
Spring Ball for Miners.
The International Spring Ball, to
be held at the New Harlem Casino,
116th st. and Lenox Avenue, on Sat
urday evening, April %, for the re-
lief of the striking miners, will con-
tain many surprises. A contest will
be held for the most bizarre costume
relating in some manner to the min
ers' struggle. An orchestra for daoc-
ing has been procured by the Harlem
Committee for Miners Relief, under
whose auspices the ball is being held.
The charge of admission will be fifty
cents. Tickets may be obtained at 101

who control locals in Taunton as well
as Fall River, both of which cities
have cut wages, refuse to do any
thing to insure the success of the
New Bedford strike by calling out the
membership in the other towns The
Textile Mill Committees, however,
have announced that they are taking
steps to rally support for the strug-
gle here thru their mill units in other
parts of New England.

DEFENSE TIGHIENS
National Eastern and American Teams Form Strong BulWarks Against Invaders

New York. Aug. 10 R-The fourth general major league slter- section series, just ended. saw the defense tighten remarkably in the eastern strongholds of the National League and the western ramparts of the American.
 Although the western invaders in the older circuit, led by the Pitts burgh Pirates, again outscored the east it was by margin of only two games-33 victories against 31 de- feats. The Pirates won l2 and lost , in the east but the New York Giants, carrying most of the burden for the defense, won 13 and lost only 4.
 For the first time this year, the western defenders in the American Leageu won more games than they lost to teams from the Atlantic sea- board-37 victories to 29 defeats. This condition was made possibly by the collapse of the New York Yankees, who dropped 10 decisions in 16 starts. The Philadelphia Ath- letics made the only good eastern showing, winning 12 out of 15.
