The Miners Call to the Labor Movement

And from West Virginia come re-
ports that John w. Davis, democratic
nominee for president in 1924, has
been employed by the coal operators
of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois to direct
their fight against the miners. Yes
terday he ran for president; today he
openly heads the attack against the
working class.
These facts are being noted, digest
ed and retained by the body of the
American working class. And they
are creating an energy which will
drive that awakening giant into all
the more rapid activity because he
has thus far been motionless and
inert.
Coming to the fourth great source
of power for the working class we
have before US the accumulating evil
dences of widespread reaction to the

Veteran of
8-Hour Day
Fight Dead

CHICAGO, March IA veteran
of the bloody fight for the S-hour day
in Chicago, waged over 40 years ago,
died the past week. Fred H. Berg
mann, founder of the brewery work
ers' union, was the strike leader of
his organization in 1886 for the short
er working day. He died in California
at the age of II.
When the police turned the labor
struggle into tragedy first by shoot
ing to death pickets at the Mccormick
Reaper Works on the south side and
then by charging a peaceful mass
meeting in the Haymarket, Bergman
was among the thousands of trade
unionists who rallied to the defense
of the 8-hour leaders, Parsons, Spies,
Engels and the rest. The prosecution,
aided by the business men and manu-
facturers, framed up and hanged
defendants who became known thru
out the world as the "Haymarket
anarchists" Gov. Altgeld of Illinois
later pardoned their imprisoned asso-
ciates, declaring that both they and
those hanged were innocent of bomb
ing the police. Bergman then became
a moving spirit in the still extant
Pioneer Aid & Support Assn. which
helped to maintain the widows and
orphans of the men who were hanged
and which keeps their grave in Wald-
helm cemetery green.

Workers Pay
for Graft of
Power Trust

WASHINGTON, March IL. OPP
In the fight for public operation of
Muscle Shoal Power Plant, there was
placed in the Congressional Record
for March 9, at page 1869 chart en-
titled "Why This Difference" This
chart is worth several hundred million
dollars per year to wage workers i'll
the United States if they will study it
and act upon the logic it presents. The
chart shows that the cost of residence
electricity in the United States is at
least five cents per kilowatt- hour too
much. The chart has a heavy line
showing how the cost Of electricity
came down from 81 cents in 1910 to
IA cents in the average of 32 Ameri-
can cities in 1926. 1t shows, by con-
trast, that the price in electricity
came down from 9.3 cents when On
tario went over to government owner
ship in 1910, to lie cents in the
average of 81 Ontario cities in 1926.
Below the chart the author suggests
that 0.8 cents might be added to the
Ontario price to explain reasonable
differences from the price in the
United States. He figures that 10
per cent for taxes and 10 per cent for
profit, and 80 per cent to account for
the difference between water power
and coal production of electricity,
should be added to the Ontario cost
which is 1.6 cents. This brings the
total reasonable American price to
"a cents. 1t leaves unexplained the
additional 5 cents required to make
up the American price of IA cents.
At Ontario light rates the Ameri-
can electric lighting bill for 1926
would have been $713,000,000 less than
was actually paid. A big share Of
this extortion was taken from Ameri-
can wage-earners, either directly or
through their landlords payment Of
electric bills.
Most of the privately owned cleo
trical plants in the United States are
run on an anti-union basis. They rob
the worker of the right Of organiza-
ton, and then they rob him again In
his electric light bill.

warfare" carried on by the INTERIOR

which he himself has paved the way,
he declares that such acts "tend to
develop class hatred, class war and
Bolshevism." That is correct.
1t is against this background that
the miners call to the labor move
ment has come. 1t is from these
sources that the energies to make it
successful have already been provided.
It is, Of course, insufficient to say,

dom. AS the leaders of the organized
labor movement have moved steadily
TO the right they have of course, alien
ated an increasingly larger section of
the workers. Never in the history of
the American labor movement has
the betrayal of the leadership been
more open and vile. Within the past
few months the Woll-Green ruling
clique, notwithstanding any superb
cial differences any of it's members
may have between themselves, has
been exposed in a half dozen deals
with employers, the government and
with one or the other of the old polit-
ical parties.
IDEALS" With Reaction.
Among these is the recent revela-
ton that the A. F. of L. executive
council supported the power trust
lobby, cooperating with such agencies
as the insult gang in Chicago; the
move for a national anti-strike law,
undoubtedly a government inspired
and probably government directed
move to bird the organized workers
and to prevent the organization of
the unorganized; in the hearings on
the mine situation now being conduct
ed by the senate committee, evidences
are constantly coming into the open
of the intention in which Lewis and
the A. F. of L. machine is cooperat-
ing, to prepare the way for govern
ment legislation and anti-strike
machinery; in New York State, the
Greenwich clique has made a deal
with the Tammany Hall machine and
AL Smith, one of the main conditions
of which is that no strike shall be
called on the New York traction lines,
another is that the A. F. Of L. ma
chine shall endorse Al Smith for
president; in return a CONCESSION"
has been made to the A. F. of L. on
the injunction issue.

of left handed way by Green himself

Advertising the Daily Worker

There are thousands of workers who
do not know that such a newspaper
as Tho DAILY WORKER exists.
There are thousands more who have
read in the capitalist sheets and in
the labor" and socialist press arti-
cles denouncing The DAILY WORK

terests Of the workers and poor fam
ers, but who have not the initiative
TO get even one copy of The DAILY
WORKER to see for themselves what
It is like In other words they have
never set eyes on The DAILY
WORKER.
1t is up to all the comrades to
make the workers see The DAILY
WORKER and to get them interested
enough so that they will want to read
it. We can do this by distracting the
attention of the masses from the cap,
italist and labor-faking press and az
tract their attention to our own press.
Must Advertise
On the subways, elevated and sur
face lines we see the workers reading
the enemy press, very seldom if at
all, do we see any one reading The
DAILY WORKER. One of the best
places to advertise the party press is
on the traction lines, where thousands
of workers gather every day.

Whether we are travelling to and

at the ads in the cars. We must dis
