STRIKING MINERS
NEED MORE SUBS
Workers Urged to Send
Them "Daily"

The opening of the Save-the- Union
Conference in Pittsburgh yesterday
was greeted by The DAILY WORK
Err with the distribution of about
1900 copies Of the paper to the visit
ing delegates. The special edition,
which had been prepared for the open
ing of one of the most significant
gatherings in the history Of American
labor, was devoted chiefly to the
heroic struggle of the striking min
ers against the coal barons and the
corrupt Lewis Cappelini machine.
With the distribution of The
DAILY WORKER, the campaign to
give to every striking miner free
subscription of the paper is being
intensified The DAILY WORKER
has hitherto been carrying the bur-
den alone of keeping intact the morale
and fighting spirit of the miners by
providing them with thousands of free
copies of the paper that they have
come to look upon as their mighty
personal organ in their historic fight.
Striking miners who have no food for
themselves and their starving families
cannot pay the small sum necessary
to provide them with subscriptions.
But The DAILY WORKER has be-
come to them in many respects more
important than food and the neces-
stiles of life. 1t is helping to provide
them with that heroic spark that has
enabled them to continue fighting for
a year in the face of every conceiv-
able form of suffering and oppres-
sion.
Necessary for Fight.
The striking miners must have The
DAILY WORKER in order that their
fight NAV be won. But The DAILY
WORKER is compelled not only to
fight for the miners and the rest of
the American working class, but for
its own day to day existence. The
great drive against the American
working class by the capitalists in
cooperation with the labor bureau
cracy has singled out The DAILY
WORKER as one of it's chief victims.

(speeial To The DAILY woRKER.)

PITTSBURGH, April 1.-Thou-
sands of miners in Illinois laid down
their tooss yesterday declaring they
will not work until national agree
ment is signed, according to a tele-
gram read at the opening session of
the National Save the Miners Union
Conference today from Gerry Allard,
secretary of the Save-the- Union Com
mittee of Southern Illinois. Allard
was badly hurt in mine accident a
few days ago, and was unable to at
tend the conference. The telegram
follows:
chairman National Conference Save
the Union Committee,
526 Federal ST., Room POI. Pitts
burgh, Pa.
very sorry that mine injury pre-
vents my presence at historical con-
ference of coal miners of America.
The national conference of progress
siye miners means a turning point in
the American labor movement. 1t
means the ditching of the class col
laboration policies of Lewisism and
the creation of new policies on the
basis of the class struggle. Thousands
of miners in Illinois have laid down
their tools. We are conveying our
greetings of solidarity to our striking
Pennsylvania and Ohio brothers and
their families. You can assure our
brothers who have fought for twelve
long months that Illinois will never
desert them again. We are in for
fight to the finish. We are anticipat-
ing the return of all delegates for the
renewal of the struggle with greater
clarity and determination. With best
fraternal greetings for the. preserva-
tion of our union"
(Signed) Gerry AlIard.
Greetings from Duncan Mcdonald,
prominent progressive mine leader of
Springfield, ILL.,, and former president
of District ~ of the United Mine
Workers Of America, were read at the
opening session of the National Save
the Miners Union Conference today.
Mcdonald was crushed out of the
union by Frank Harrington.
Duncan's telegram follows:
Hearty congratulations on effort
to start real rank and file move
ment to save the union. Regret SER
ious illness of an associate that pre-
vents my coming. The once strong,
vigorous miners union now is in a
deplorable condition. Has now de-
generated into nearly merely dues
collecting agency for an array of So
called officials who have prostituted
their offices, ruined the miners
union and merely served as agents of
the coal operators and petty politi-
clans. Millions of dollars have been
squandered by this group of reac-
tionary leaders. Aggressive mem
bers have been kicked out. The time
is ripe for change. Make it rank
and file movement, organize the unor-
ganized, permit no high salaried boss
es, declare for labor party, affiliate
with movements in all countries in the
world including the workers govern
ment in Russia, no partial settlements,
a general strike or none. You have
nothing to lose but world to gain"

START FIGHT ON
POLISH TERROR
Drive to Free Hromada
Victims Begun

The Committee Against Polish
Fascism and for American Aid to
Prosecuted Racial Minorities at Room
430, 100 Broadway, yesterday issued
it's call to labor, fraternal. liberal and
political organizations to organize
and conduct campaign against the
persecution by the fascist Polish gov
ernment under Premier Pilsudski of
the White Russian workers and pea
SAINTS, members of the Hromada.
A National Executive Committee
has been organized. The Executive
Committee of this National Commit
tee consists of the following people:
Chairman, Professor Robert Morss
Lovett of the University of Chicago;
vice chairmen, Roger Baldwin, Inter
national Committee for Political
Prisoners, and Professor Scott Near
ing; secretary-treasurer, Robert W.
Dunn of the American Civil Liberties

ton; H. I. Costrell, left wing, Work
mems Circle; M. Radvanski, Trybuna
Robotnitza; L. Pruseika, Lithuanian
Literary Society; M. 0lgin, The Ham

To all Labor, Fraternal, Liberal
and Political Organizations:
Dear Sirs and Brothers:
Fifty-sis of the 400 members of
Hromada-the White Russian work
ers' and peasants party Of Poland
under arrest, are now being tried in
Wilma.
To Conduct Campaign Here.
Pilsudski's fascist Polish govern
ment is attempting to destroy Hro-
mada, the legal political party of the
workers and peasants of White Rus
sia, by imprisoning it's leading men,
bers and terrorizing its rank and file.
The Hromada fights for selfdeter-
mination for White Russians and
against the Polish governments OPP
preston of the White Russian people;
for land for the poor peasantry; Tor
workers and peasants govern
nient; for a free and independent
White Russian national culture.
Therefore Pilsudski is attempting the
destruction Of the Hromada.
The Committee against Polish Fas-
cism proposes to conduct campaign
of agitation, propaganda, and fund
raising, through mass meetings, DEM
onstrations and printed publicity, to
effect a demand from America for
the immediate release Of all members
of the Hromada Party on trial or
under arrest, and for the release of
all political prisoners in Poland, and
for recognition by the fascist Polish
government of the legal right of ex-
istence of the Hromada Party, and of
all political parties of the working
class.
The committee will also conduct a
