severe conflicts. They remember the
strikes of 1910, 1919, 1922. No past
strike, however, has been so pro-
tracted and bitter as the present one.
Never before has there been such a
determined attempt to destroy the
miners union and thus help to demol-
ish the organized labor movement of
American attempt which obvious
ly has the open or tacit support
of government officials.
Senate Investigation Failed.
Added to this the complete fail
ure of the senate investigation of
the coal strike. Whatever little hope
existed among the miners when the
senate investigating committee first
began its very arduous labor in March
on the eve of the primary elections in
Pennsylvania that this would lead to
favorable settlement, has today col
lapsed. While coal operators and cor
rupt mine union leaders testify" in
Washington, evictions of hundreds of
strikers families in Ohio and Penn
sylvania proceed. Injunctions and
sheriff's anti-picketing proclamations
are even more drastically enforced.
The smuggling campaign of state troop
ers and coal and iron police increase
in violence, and the coal operators
calmly and deliberately continue with
their plans to smash the union at
any cost.
The aggressive strikers see through
this investigation as a political ma
neuver. They recognize that the SEN
ate, like other government bodies,
backs the operators, and that the
miners cannot expect to win their
fight through action of congress or
any other government agency.
AS these facts sink into their minds,
many of the progressive miners lose
their illusions about capitalist dem
ocracy and freedom. The gospel of
"peace and harmony" between work
er and boss no longer blinds them to
the truths of the class struggle. They
are turning to the Workers Party for
guidance and leadership, for solu-
ton to their problems, to their bitter
struggles and suffering.
Party Units Established.
In Washington County, new units
of the Party have been established in
Meadowlands, Houston, Washington,
Mollenauer, Mcdonald, Cherry Val
ley and Fredericktown, while the
membership of the Coverdale and
Canonsburg units have been more
than doubled. Throughout the ALE

Miners Rally to Workers Party
By Fred Ellis

by the Party in the last month in
the mining camps has definitely
shown that the active miners in west
ern Pennsylvania look upon the
Workers (Communist) Party as the
only political organization that fights
for the interests of the workers. APP
peals to build the party are received
with enthusiasm.
Party Appeals Successful.
In Cherry Valley, for instance,
where the Party had had no connec-
tons formerly, 10 members joined at
the first meeting, - at the second,
and IL more at the third, with the
number of miners asking to be adj
mitted steadily growing. In Renton,
at a meeting of about 40 miners, "a
joined the Party, stating that they
would double the membership with
out any difficulty. The same can be
said of Bishop, Kinlock and other
centers.
The success of the campaign for
new members has indicated that the
Party, with correct methods and in
creased activity, can gain mass
following in many mining camps.
This points to splendid possibilities
for the Party's presidential election
campaign in western Pennsylvania
The miners are beginning to drift
away from the capitalist parties, as
was seen in recent primary cleo
lions held in western Pennsylvania,
when in Washington, Fayette, and
other counties, the vote was reported
the lowest cast in many years in
these sections. The socialist party
has been discredited. Among the ac-
tive progressives the Workers Party
is now recognized as the only poll
teal party that represents the work
ingclass and merits the workers sup
port.
The National Nominating Conven-
| ton of the Workers (Communist)
Party met in a period of increasing
reaction and intensified struggle. For
the striking miners in the bituminous
local fields especially, this convention
assumes great Importance. Without
doubt an effective drive for the
Workers Party candidates will stir
the mining camps in western Penn
syvania and lead to highly favorable
results.
New forces are developing in the
coal fields. Our Party will receive
the support of new proletarian masses
who have been awakened by their
bitter fight, their daily experiences
of class war and class government.

By REBECCA GRECHT.


The membership drive carried on
by the Pittsburgh district of the
Workers (Communist) Party of
America during the last four weeks
has made great Roadway among the
striking miners in western Pennsyl-
vania.
Big Gains for Workers Party.
Over $50 miners and their wives
have joined the Party in Washington
and Allegheny Counties alone. Four
teen new units have been organized
in the most important mining cen
tiers, each with a membership rang
ing from fifteen to thirty-five, and
more are in the process of formation.
Never in the history of the Party in
this district has there been such an
enthusiastic response among the min
ers to the call of the Party and such
rapid steady influx of these heroic
fighters into the ranks of the Com
munist movement.
The bitter struggle in the soft coal
fields, now fourteen months old, is
opening the eyes of the strikers in
western Pennsylvania to the character
of the capitalist system of exploita-
ton which Expresses and enslaves
them. They are learning what class
war means. They are beginning to
understand how the bosses govern
ment functions. Injunctions, evictions,
the reign of terrorism which has
been established in the organized and
unorganized fields by coal and iron
police and state troopers, brutal club
bings of men and women pickets
alike, breaking up of progressive
meetings have given daily demonstra-
tons of the open alliance existing be-
tween the coal operators and the gov
eminent in the assault upon the min
ers.
Ever greater numbers of the mill
tants who are today battling to save
the union, organize the unorganized
miners and restore union conditions
IN the industry, realize that the pre-
sent fight is not an end in itself, but
is part of the great struggle going
on in America between the working
class and the capitalists, a struggle
which will end only when the work
ers themselves assume power and
take control of industry and govern
ment.
Miners Loosing Illusions.
The striking miners who are join
ing the Party in western Pennsyl-
vania have been through several

into a progressive stronghold and has
been the center of attack by the reac-
tionary union machine, the most ac-
tive strikers are joining the Party.
New units have been organized in Rem
ton, Russelton, Rural Ridge, Kinlock,
North Bessemer, Harwick, and Har-
marville. Miners have also joined the
Party in Daisytown, California and
Bentleyville.'
1t is significant that miners wives
are seeking admission into the Party,
as in Bishop, North Bessemer, Rural
Ridge, and Russelton. They are the
leaders of the progressive women ir
these mining camps. They have DEM
onstrated their fighting spirit and
understanding of the issues involved
in the struggle by their activity or
the picket line, in relief work, in the
fight against the reactionaries. Now
they are entering the Party together
with their men, for the first time
in Western Pennsylvania, again
showing that a new era has indeed
opened for the women in the mining
camps.
Many of these miners have in the
past supported the republican OF
democratic party. Now, they declare
they are through supporting the
parties of the coal operators, the rail
road and steel trusts. They have
learned in the struggle that the cap.
italist parties are merely the tools
of the bosses. AS some of the miners
express it: Before we voted for the
boss, now we're going to vote fol
ourselves and support our own party

Leave Socialist Party.
Former members of the socialist
party are also joining, as in Meadow.

They are emphatic in their assertions
that the socialist party has ceased tt

uniting with the most reactionary
elements of the Pennsylvania labor
movement to fight the progressive
delegates to the recent convention Of
the Pennsylvania State Federation Of
Labor, has proven to these miners
the complete bankruptcy of the so,

Figures published by the United
States department of commerce show
that the American Empire has be-
come the chief lending country in the
world. Another milestone along the
imperialist highroad!
Before the war the business men of
Great Britain were the worlds chief
lenders. Indeed, British foreign loans
in 1913 totaled about $4,000, 1000, 900,
as compared with $8,000,000,0O0 for
Rance; $500, 100000 for Germany
and $3,000,o00,00O for the United
States. In prewar years the loans
of the British Empire were more than
equal to the loans of Germany, France
and the United States combined.
Tables are Turned.
The war turned the tables. Post
war developments clinched the Ameri-
can position. Today the business class
of the United States is lending more
than the business class of any other
empire.

AKRON|TES MAKE DISCOVERY ALASKA
 FLOWERS, AUTOS
SURPRISED TO FIND so MANY AUTOMOBILES AND BEAUTl- FUL FLOWERS HERE LAST
 SUMMER


 of Akron, Ohio people.
 The story in part is as follows:
 While we did not take our own au- joined Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lahr and MT. and Mrs E. c. Davis, other Ak ron Automobile Club members, on our trip to Alaska this summer, we did find many automobiles in constant use in the picturesque Alaskan vil- lages which we visited, and we found scenery along the route which would appeal to any lover of natures beau ties.
 We expected to encounter snow and ice and We were not disappointed but imagine our surprise to find beau tiful flowers blooming, only few feet from the icy edges of monster glaciers. And in Alaska we viewed dahlias that were IA inches in diame- ter-larger than any similar blooms we had seen in the United States.
 Our trip took us above the Arctic Circle, where we were again pleasant ly surprised by discovering the mer- cury in the thermometer climbing to an August altitude of 80 degrees.
 "Oh, yes, Alaska had many revela- tions to offer in addition to it's unique and imposing landscapes, backed majestically by frigid glacial accumu- lations of ice and snow
 "Our first landing on Alaskan soil was made at Ketchikan, growing town of 1,5O0 inhabitants, whose prin- cipal industries are fishing and min- ing. After leaving Ketchikan, we viewed the beautiful Taku Glacier, es- timated to be 75 feet in depth, one mile wide and running back 90 miles into the mountains When our ship blew it's whistle 800 yards from the glacier it's echo was heard for at least five minutes
 Juneau, the capital of Alaska, was our next stop The streets and shops are built on wooden piles and blanks although a number of streets were built of rocks and cement. The shops offered modern clothing, dry goods, and an excellent line of furs and carved ivory.
 "At Skagway our party visited the famous Pullen House of old Klondike days. Here we saw dahlias measur- ing foot in diameter and pansies from three to four inches in diameter. From Skagway our party followed the Whitehorse Pass & Yukon route over Dead Mans Gulch and Kicking Horse Canyon Here the railroad was pro- tected by snow sheds. During the gold rush of 1898 the town of Bennett was shipbuilding center.
 we sailed down the Yukon River for 461 miles, arriving at Dawson on August 12th
 we all had read about the halycon days in Dawson during the great rush for gold, when the Klondike opened up in 1898. We tried to visualize the town as it must have been when over run by prospectors and those who fol- lowed in their wake. We found the Alexandria hotel and several others with their long saloon bars now used as lunch counters and their massive
