ILLINOIS Miners
READY FOR MEET
Special Convention To
Gust Officials
Continued from page y

agreements of various kinds have
been signed by the Fishwick machine.
The members were not permitted to
vote upon these temporary agree
ments, which have given away all con-
tons won by the hard struggles of
the past. This separate, temporary
agreement policy was begun by Frank
Harrington while he was on the pay
roll Of the Peabody Coal Company
in 1922. This present policy was not
authorized by the international or
District Convention, nor put to a
referendum vote Of the membership.
The union officials, the Lewis and
Fishwick machine, are responsible
for this destructive policy. The load
ing machine contract forced upon us
helps to destroy conditions. 1t throws
daily more men out of work While
thousands are now unemployed We
must establish a tonnage rate with
division of work and fight for The six
hour day, five day week. The whole
policy of the bankrupt Lewis ishwicI
machine is one of destruction Of the
union. In 1922 the union fields pro-
duced 70 per cent of all coal mined.
Today the organized fields prodcce
only 30 per cent, while almost 300,-
600 members have been lost.
To maintain itself in control of the
union the Lewis ishwick machine
has resorted to expulsion of the mill
tant rank and file fighters, expelling
local unions and whole districts, steal
ing of votes, packing Of conventions.
and on top of it all, piling up enor-
nous salaries and expense accounts,
while the miners were starving.
The Lewis and Fishwick machine
viii not call special conventions to
consider this emergency in The
miners union and take steps to
remedy it. They have destroyed all
democracy in the union, crushed the
progressive voices, and now carry
thru mass expulsions.
Miners to Take Control.
The District No. IL special conven-
ton called by the Save-the- Union
Committee, will elect officials from
the rank and file who are for the
rank and file, and will take care of
the union. The special district con-
vention must work out new policies in
line with the interest of the member
ship. 1t must work toward helping
win the Pennsylvania Ohio strike, to
fight for national agreement, to
fight against wage cuts, to fight for
the organization of the unorganized,
to fight for the six hour day, five
day week, to fight for control OF
loading machine operation, and aboli-
ton Of penalty clauses and docking
system and to fight for the building
of a real miners union, which will
establish real conditions for the men,
bers.
The rank and file membership have
demanded this special convention. The
rank and file will rule it. Elect your
delegates to this convention. Send
credentials to the secretary of the
District No. IL, Save-the- Union Com
naittee.

Maryland Active.
BALTIMORE, May ia splendid
achievement has been accomplished by
the members of the Workers (Com-
n1unist) Party in Maryland in com
plying with requirements of the cleo
ton law. Two thousand signatures
of qualified voters must be filed by
minority parties to qualify them for
a place on the ballot Maryland is a
southern state in which prejudice
against radicals is very strong and
it is therefore difficult to get sigma
lures.
A law recently passed provides
that signatures must be filed not later
than May 7. This provision was not
generally known, with the result that
| all the smaller parties were caught
off guard and failed to file in time.
Although our party was among those
caught without warning, the enthusi-
asm of the workers who rallied to the
call to "Put the Party on the Ballot"
was so great that they overcame all
difficulties.
The following extracts from the re-
port of Louis Berger, campaign man
ager, speak for themselves.
1900 in Two Days.
"At our general membership meet
ing held Friday. May 4, the comrades
realized the seriousness of the situa-
ton and went out and in two days
brought in 1900 signatures bringing
our total up to 2,371 when only 1000
were required. We must say that this
is a marvellous achievement for our
Party in Maryland In fact it is a
historical feat as we have tried twice
before with plenty of time to do it
in and yet failed"

Military Funeral
Conducted for Dog
By Fort Myer Men

"TapS" blew over the Fort Myer
parade ground today, and the body
of Jack" dog mascot of headquar-
ters troop and the band of the Sd
Cavalry, was gently lowered into
newly dug grave. A cross will mark
the final resting place of the nom
descript canine that has, for the last
nine years, been a buddy in barracks
and on marches with the soldiers OF
the fort.
Jack" died the way most Army
dogs die, not with his boots on, but
with a pain in his stomach from
overeating.
Jack enlisted on the Pacific Coast,
and came to the heights above
Washington with an officer, nearly
10 years ago. OF not too clear csste
or regular appearance, he soon be-
came a soldiers dog and bunked
and chowed with members OF the
band and headquarters troop OF the
Sd Cavalry, who finally adopted him
as their mascot.
Jack" became iii early this week
and the post veterinarian was called.
But it was chronic indigestion. Too
many bits from the soldiers mess
had found their way down Jacks"
gullet, and there was no hope for
him. He died yesterday morning.
A special casket was made for him
yesterday by the post carpenter, and
this morning, with some OF his baSt
buddies of the two organizations he
mascotted for as mourners, he was
buried on the parade grounds. Full
military honors were his lot.

BALDWIN CENSURE
PLANNED BY LABOR
Macdonald to Push Point
of Error in Naval
Compromise.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 8.-Although
Lord Cushendun, acting foreign Secre-
tary. has pronounced the Anglo-F French
naval compromise dead, Labor leaders
were determined today to move censure
of the Government in the House of
Commons because of the accord.
Ramsay Macdonald, Labor leader out
lined the position of his party by say
ing that the pact was not an agree
ment to limit ornaments: it was an
agreement not to limit armaments. 1t
sacrificed the most elementary consid-
erations of Britain'S safety except upon
one sole consideration, that there would
always be pooling of our navy and the
navy Of the country across the
channel"
Baldwin TO Defend Stand.
When the Laborite attack is launched
in Commons Premier Stanley Baldwin
will defend the government policy.
Lord CuShendun'S announcement that
the pact was dead was made in the
House of Lords after Labor and Liberal
leaders had attacked the agreement.
The attack was made particularly on
the grounds of injury to American opin-
ion and of concession to France on the
question of trained reserves.
Lord Thomas, Labor peer, moved
resolution declaring that the negotia-
tionS constitute grave setback to the
cause of disarmament" He said that
the peace existing today was not the
result of craftsmanship but of eX-
haustion.
Lord Cushendun defended the gov
eminent. claiming that it had acted
with the best intentions. Great Britain,
he held, was now in exactly the same
position ss if she had not made the
proposal for the compromise.
1T means" he said, I'VE must find
some other way
Hopes for Agreement.
Lord Cushendun explained that the
government would give the most careful
consideration to Washington's suggeS-
ton that the door be kept open for
further discussions. Great Britain, he
said, did not despair of reaching some
general agreement merely because OF
the diScouraging results of the Anglo
French accord.
Lord CuShendun maintained that
Great Britain was under no obligations
toward the French view that trained
reserves should not be included in the
military strength which disarmament
conference would limit.
I'VE have not altered our view," he
said, "but the limitation of land arma-
ment must be very partial and probably
ineffective unless trained reserves are
included. But we should find 1t per-
fectly hopeless to get France, and
practically all military nations on the
continent, to adopt our views on this.
Resolution Withdrawn.
After Lord Cushendun's explanation
the resolution introduced by Lord
Thomas was withdrawn.
ViScount Grey expressed qualification I
that the slate was now clean and the /
hope that corroboration of this would i
come from Paris. He suggested that |
the British and French governments |
should now formally notify Washington. |

was dead. 5i-.'a-.se

SANDING THANKS
GTVERS OF SUPPLIES

New York.-General Augusta c..
SANDING, writing to the All-America
Anti-Imperialist League, acknowledge
es receipt of medical supplies sent by
the league to the Nicaraguan liberia
ton army. This is the first letter
that has been received in the United
States from General SANDING directly.
1--WE are especially delighted that
you, honest North Americans, mani
fest in this manner your protest and
disapproval of the policies of aggres-
sion that the existing government of
the United States is carrying on in
Nicaragua"
The letter is a refutation of the
charges recently made in Nicaragua
by United States army officers, and in
the United States by Senator Gillette
that the money collected by the League
in the United States is sent to Near
aqua for the purchase of arms anC
ammunition.
These medical supplies, writes San
dino, were delivered to him by Gus
tavo Machado, secretary of the hands
off Nicaragua Committee in Mexict
City. Machado made the perilou
trip from Honduras to the Sandin,
camp, evading the marines.
SANDING calls upon the American
workers especially to further thei
propaganda and agitation in behal
of the oppressed workers in Nicara
qua.
''We we'll know the situation of tn
working-class," he says, "of you
country, who are also the victims o
the same exploiters who are nov
fighting to enslave Latin America. .
Characterizing the American occu
patton of Nicaragua as "the crimins
plan of the Washington government,
he appeals to the American people
condemn "the systematic extermins
ton of defenseless people by
country that is not officially at wa
in violation of the constitution of tn
United States"
