Pleads for
Miners Relief
a. a Worker Correspondent.l

by a Worker Correspof1de1at.)
PITTSBURGH, Pa, by Mail). -
The frequency with which progress
sive miners are being arrested on
various framed charges in the bitum-
inous coal strike in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, together with the recent muir
ders in the anthracite fields of mill
tant miners fighting corrupt officials
of the union, should forcibly demon
strate to workers all over the cOun-
try the vital necessity of concentrat-
ing more than ever on relief work.
That the union leaders are not con-
Quoting an effective relief campaign,
or even organized measures for relief
which might be called campaign
is evident to all workers. The ener-
gies of these officials are devoted
to fighting the progressive and mill
tant elements of the United Mine
Workers. The soft coal strikers, now
aware of the Observation-Disclosures
combination of conspirators which is
stopping at nothing in the drive to
destroy their union and institute the
open-shop, are determined to win
their fight for living wage. They
are -picketing, conducting relief
meetings, rallying by the thousands
to the program of the "Save the
Union Committee" The rise of the
progressive elements in the United
Mine Workers threatens the corrupt
regime of the Lewis machine. Lewis
and his satellites are doing all they
can to smash the "Save the Union
Committee" to disrupt organizations
of progressive miners, to imprison
and club the strikers who publicly adj
vocate the progressive conference of
April 1st.
The burden of relief rests upon
workers. Betrayed by their own of
ficials, struggling desperately against
combination determined to enforce
serfdom upon them, the striking min
ers and their families are looking to
the support of their fellow workers
Now as never before must the soli-
darity of labor be demonstrated! Or
ganized labor must unite to send a
| laundering answer to the challenge
openly flung at them by the coal OPP
orators and their allies, the United
Mine Workers corrupt officialdom
the railroad and steel magnates!
That answer must be a flood of relief
funds. Only by support of the work
ers can the strike be successfully ter
minated and by means of that same
support can the strikers organize to
GUST their corrupt officials and re-
place them with militant leaders!
Relief is now two-edged sword!

am an ex-serviceman from the world

American colors to fight for freedom
and save the world for democracy.
Before I went to the war they gave
US seven months training. The first
duty began when l got up early in
the morning for reveille. After that
we had to go thru the camp streets
and pick up the butts from the cigar
cites that were thrown away by Off
GERS and visitors. Obedience was very
strict. There was no self defense or
you would be courtmartialed.
In 1918 we went over to France.
We went thru many dangers. Many
days we went without anything to eat
or drink. Also we had many coolies.
Before we returned to the United
States, General Pershing told us that
we were true and loyal to our country
and that we would get an opportunity
when we got back.
After / got my discharge I went to
this city to look for a job but there
was nothing open. have wife and

to organize against the danger of the

z OIL TANKERS
BLOW UP DURING
FOURTEEN MONTHS.
Crews Perish With
Rockefeller Ships
(Bv T. Worker CORRESPONDENT

(BY O. worker COTTeSpOnueHC.)
There are so per cent more cases
of scurvy ulcers on the ston ach and
body, and anemics waiting for blood
transfusions in the United States ma
rine hospitals than in any other hos
pital in the country. This condition
is a result of the rotten food handed
out to seamen on vessels flying the
American flag.
Tho the mercantile sailor carries
the worlds trade in his occupation,
he receives for his share the lowest
possible wages and the rottenest con-
ditions aboard ship.
About 80 per cent of all ships for
American seamen are oN-tankers and
these ships are the most hazardous
to sailors. No less than % tankers
have blown up during the last IA
months and in most of the cases all
the hands were lost.
John D. Rockefeller who controls
the oil monopoly doesn't care damn
for human life. He murders his sea-
men in the same way he does his
Colorado miners. He makes his mil
lions out of the blood of the workers.
Were the seamen organized into a
real 100 per cent militant organiza-
ton, they could wiring from the ship
owner and the government any de-
mand they might wish to make. For
the seamen, if organized, would have
the power to tie up the trade of the
entire world. j. S. M.

Frame ACtlUe
Strike Worker,
It is Charged
(By a Worker Correspondent

DENVER, Colo, (By MaiD.-Ten
years ago in a small rooming house
in Winto, Wyo., Sancoff, a miner en-
ployed by the Union Pacific, sat at
a table counting his weeks wages
and planning on how to make ends
meet. Another worker, Bahio by
name, came into the room and made a
grab for the money. In the scuffle
which followed the latter drew a
knife. AS Sancoff fled from the room
he spied a piece of lead pipe, he
picked it up, turned around and hit
Bahlio who was pursuing him with
the drawn knife. Balhlio was taken to
the hospital. At the end of three
weeks he had completely recovered
and returned to work. Sancoff was
told by the police to leave town as
there might be trouble. A month
later Bahlio was taken sick and died,
A diagnosis of poisoning was made
at the time.
That was ten years ago. Sancoff,
an I, W. W., was very active during
the recent coal strike. It would be
well to have him out of the way. A
company employee heard of this Incl
dent and used it to accomplish this
end. AS a result Sancoff was ar
rested in Denver on Saturday, March
4th, as a suspected murderer. An
other worker has been framed-up.
The following is the true version
of the story and can be verified by
the keeper of the rooming house.
