Following the examination of Skorut-

tage and counter-revolutionar activi-
ties in connection with the Don min
ing operations, the trial of the de-
PENDANTS in the Donetz conspiracy

animation of the former mine owner
Rabinovitch.
At least two thousand workers
crammed the great hall of prosecu-
ton to hear the testimony Of the old
man who had once been coal control
Ter, holding a high place in the state
planning commission.
They listened breathlessly as Rab-
inovitch denied his guilt in the con-
sniracyy while he declared that ex-
perience had taught him that the
workers were absolutely loyal to the
Soviet government.
No one left the crowded court room
as the trial dragged on while witness
after witness shattered the former
mine controllers testimony. with evil
dance that he had not only been q
participant in the counter-revolution-

leader of the Moscow sabotage or

tons with former mine owners in
Paris and receiving funds from them
for the purpose of brihing techni-
clans and others in the Soviet Union.

YORKVILLE, Ohio, June 27-
Large picket lines of striking miners
under the leadership of the newly
elected progressive officers end a
score of state troopers were the only
ones who responded this morning to
the much heralded resumption of
operations" at four mines near here.
Not even one miner applied for work.
The longest picket line marched be-
fore the mouth of the Blaine mine Of
the Lorain Coal and Coke Company.
The other pits which were to open
are the No. mine of the Rail and
River Coal Company in Stewards; the
Gaylord mine Of the Sauters Coal
Company, Martins Ferry; and the
Red Bird mine of the Warner Collier
les Company in Tiltonville. These
mines are in the heart of the most
militant strike district in the east.
Daily Demonstrations.
When coal operators tried to open
another mine at Tiltonville, some
weeks ago, series of mass meet
ings at the tipple, daily picket lines
and demonstrations crippled the at
tempt. Scores of men and women
were arrested but later released.
Robert Matusek, progressive presi-
dent of the reorganized eastern Ohio
district, declares that the striking
miners will continue to mass picket
every pit where resumption IS at
tempted on an open shop basis, re-
gardless of injunctions and mass ar
rests.
In a letter received by Alfred Wag-
enknecht, relief director Of the Ma
tional Miners Relief Committee,
Matusek says that thousands of fam
lilies are living on one meager meal
a day, and many do not have even
that.
Milk, even for the babies, is an un-
dreamt of luxury. Wagenknecht urges
that all sympathizers rush whatever
funds they can to the Pittsburgh of
flee, IL Penn Avenue, to make an i'm
mediate shipment to Ohio possible.
Hundreds Of trucks from locals
throughout Pennsylvania strike fields
come to the Pittsburgh headquarters
pleading for relief.

Discovered BY Worker

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, June 27.--
Hundreds of passengers of a New
York-Boston express escaped death or
serious injury by hairs breadth to-

train. A worker, walking the tracks
last Friday afternoon, it was learned,

LEWIS THUGS KNIFE
MILITANT COAL MINER
Especial To The DAILY woRKER.)

CURTISVILLE, Pa, June 27.-Be-
cause he was one of the successful
progressive candidates at the local
union election held here Friday, June
%, George Dillon was attacked and
cut over the eye with large knife
in the hands of Lewis supporter
named "Monte" Bestwick.
The attack occurred when Dillon
was returning to his home at the bar
racks, after the meeting at which all
the contests for local offices were
won by the progressives.
During the bitter fight of the cleo
tions, the machine used every method
at its command in an attempt to
"steamroller" the vote but the miners
broke through these devices.
Gets Own Medicine.
Bestwick, tool of Frank Hefferly
and Jack Hasson, the Lewis-Fagan
organizers in this section, was him
self beaten up when the progressives
repulsed the attacks of his cohorts.
That the Lewis forces are getting
desperate is evidenced by the hasty
manner in which the relief of this
local union was cut off. And soon
as they received word of the progress
sive victory, which eliminated the
Lewis relief Bandit" Patsy Am
morosa, from the presidency of the
local, official word was sent that
there would be no more relief for the
miners of Curtisville.
Still Fight On.
While things look black here as a
result of this Lewis-Fagan action, the
miners still fight desperately, realiz-
ing that they must struggle for every
advance they make and this they are
determined to do, despite the efforts
of the machine to force them into
submission.

UNIONS LEADERS
Thousands to Turn Out
Saturday

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 27.
The request of the New Bedford
Unit of Textile Mills Committee, that
a permit be granted for parade of
the $4,000 textile workers out on
strike here, was flatly refused by the
police yesterday. The parade is
planned for Saturday.
Immediately after the refusal the
strike leaders issued statement de-
nouncing this action and declaring
that permit or no permit a parade
would be held. Organization plans
for the parade have already been set
in motion, it was stated.
New Boss Move.
Official announcements were issued
by the mill owners to the effect that
they intend to "reopen" the mills on
July 9th. This is generally taken to
mean that the bosses will bend every
effort to import a few scores of
strikebreakers in order to give the
impression that strikers are going
back to work. Even the bosses trade
journals here and in New York ad-
nit that enough people cannot be OBJ
tanned to operate the mills.
Mobilize Forces.
All the machinery and resources of
the union are now being modified to
answer this attempted reopening,
those in charge of the Textile Mills
Committee state. "Last Monday saw

Call For Action

Especial to The DAILY WORKER.)
VIENNA, June 7.-Surroundedb by
heavily armed guards Bella Kun,
leader of the Hungarian Soviet Re
public, was returned to jail yester-
day.
His sentence has been received
with expire ssions Of regret by
the capitalist press which is waging
a. steady campaign for his extradi-
tion, which is still likely.
Only the protest of labor an over
the world prevented the Austrian
Seipel government from Immediately
effecting the extradition of Kun,
it is frankly admitted here.
Fear Trick.
Even yesterday well informed
circles here expressed the fear that
the sentence passed on Kun is merely
a ruse en- the part of the Austrian
government to give the worldwide
protests a chance to subside in order
to proceed with extradition.
Substantiation is given these
l'umors by the resignation of Franz
Dinghofer, minister of justice, who
is believed to have given up his post
in order to facilitate new moves
against Bella Kun.
Armed Police.
Heavily armed police continued 70
patrol the streets of Vienna last night
as the government viewed with
alarm the rising tide of mass resent
Inent against the sentence passed on
Kun.
1t is intimated that the govern
ment intends to continue the tactics
of veiled terrorism at the trial where
police stood nine deep around the
building and every man or woman
entering the courtroom was searched.
Early in the course of the trial the
prosecution sought to withdraw those
parts of the indictment which re-
ferred to the Soviet Union.
Exposes Imperialists.
Tearing off the mask of legality
in which the attack on the Soviet
Union was being yelled, Bella Kun
charges the Austrian authorities with
placing every possible obstacle in the
way of the defense, even refusing to
permit it's lawyers from examining
the necessary files or to interview
Kun himself.
Kun was continually interrupted in
the course of his testimony by the
president.
Asked why he entered Austria witA
a false passport, the Hungarian Com
munist leader declared that his life
would not have been safe had he lived
in Vienna under his own name.
Court Alarmed.
Thoroughly alarmed, the court
finally forbade Kun to say anything
more.
On further examination experts ad-
mitted that Kun's letters mad been
translated. Material read by the
prosecution proved to be nothing but
Hungarian Communist Party matter
and there were none of the sensations
which the government had hoped for.
In his closing speech, however, the
prosecutor declared that the Hun
garian Communist Party is illegal
and that therefore it's members were
guilty of secret association.
Bella Kun commenced his closing
speech but was Immediately stopped
BY the president.
At ten o'clock at night the court
announced that Kun would receive
three months solitary confinement,
with one foodless day every month.

HOUSTON, June 27.-The party of
Thomas Jefferson assembled in con-
vention here today stripped itself
quite shamelessly of the cloak of
democracy" with which it has been
seeking to conceal its class-rule fea-
lures and prejudice form when
it ruled to segregate Negro visitors
to the convention and to hold them
apart from the white delegates and
onlookers.
A section has been reserved for
the Negroes at one end of the con-
vention hall where the blue blooded
southern parasites and the Morgan
controlled Tammany Hall grafters
from New York will not be forced to
look upon the most exploited sections
Of the working class.
Negro delegates here call attention
to the fact that the Tammany Hall
administration in New York City has
sought to wall-in a whole section of
Harlem to which it aims to confine
the Negro workers, and that public
office and the civil service is prac-
tically closed to the Negroes in "dem-
ocratic" New York as in prejudiced
Texas.
First Fight Over Tolerance"
HOUSTON, June 27.-Balloting on
the nomination for the presidency,
which is due sometime tonight, is al
most certain to result in the nam
ing of Alfred E. Smith, Tammany
Hall governor of New York State, on
the first count.
The same convention Which today
went into an uproar over the issue of
religious liberation when it was men
toned by Joseph 7. Robinson of Ar
kansas and which led to free for
all fight when the delegations Of sew
eral states refused to join in the
march which followed, is the conven-
tion which calmly segregated Negro
visitors and delegates off in one cor
ner of the hall.

On this score the management has no
