PITTSBURGH Meet;
WISHES FREEDOM
Would Like to Carry on
Miners Fight

Henry Corbishley, fighting miner
of southern Illinois, put behind prison
bars by the reactionary Harrington
machine in the infamous "Ziegler
frame-up," has written to the Inter
national Labor Defense of his wish
For freedom especially at this time so
he can participate in the fight now
being waged by the miners to save
their union.
81 sure would like to have been in
Pittsburgh" he writes, "and to have
attended the historic conference. The
time is now ripe, with the Illinois
operators refusing to recognize the
union, when action must take place of
talking.
81 wish that some one in Illinois or
St. Louis would come down to see me
occasionally as have so much to talk
about and so little space to write that
can't afford to start.
Illinois Waking.
my brother Frank was down last
week and from what he tells me,
things are beginning to shape up some
in southern Illinois. The most reac-
ticnary local in the state, Orient, No.
2, in the face of Fishwick threatening
to expel all that took part, selected
delegates to Pittsburgh.
II sure hate to be cramped up here
when there is so much to be done and
so few hands that will take the lead.
Thanks for Books.
Il am grateful to the international
Labor Defense ard the workers who
have contributed funds for books for
labor prisoners" Corbishley writes,
Il am much interested in the book
proposition. I have already made my
request for some and I'm sure glad to
get them, as it is mighty hard to get
reading material here"
my regards to all and tell them
I am making out fine"

liant workers instead of fighting
against the bosses and try to cripple
the unions by expelling the militants
for such "crimes" as trying to organ
ize the unorganized or trying to wage
a real fight against the employers.
The American working class, after
a period of defeats, decentralization
and relative passivity, are beginning
to fight back again. In the mine
fields, in the textile strikes and shoe
strikes in New England, in the
STRINGS among the needle trades
workers of the clothing centers, in
the fresh growth of sentiment for a
Labor Party,-these are few of the
signs of the growing determination
of the workers to defend themselves
against wage-cuts, union-smashing,
and the offensive of the bosses.
Help the Miners.
The basic struggle of the American
workers at the present time centers
in the mine fields of Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and West Vir-
ginfa and the other coal regions of
the country. Here the immediate fu-
ture of the labor movement is largely
being determined. Here tens of thou
sands of coal miners under the mill
tant leadership of the Save-the-U Union
Committee, are fighting against the
combined forces of the coal barons,
the national government, the state
constabulary, the gunner and the
treacherous officials of the Lewis ma
chine, who have crippled the United
Mine Workers and laid the basis of
its destruction.
After more than year of heroic
struggle under treacherous leader
ship, the miners have begun to take
their organization into their own
hands, to sweep out the reactionary
officials, to spread the strike to the
unorganized fields, to organize mass
Ipicketing, to defy injunctions, and to
develop fresh energies which will
sweep the union clean of traitors and
save the union from destruction and
rebuild it and win the strike.
Miners! May Day is a day to dedi-
cate to saving the union from the
reactionary bureaucracy, to sweeping
out Lewis and his henchmen, to or
ganizing the unorganized fields, to
strengthening the picket lines, to
smashing the injunctions, to repelling
the attacks of the coal barons, to
spreading and winning the strike.
Railroad workers! Don't haul scab
coal!
Workers in all industries! Let us
this May Day pledge our solidarity to
the fighting miners and get behind
them in their struggle. Their heroic
battle is the fight Of the entire Amer
lean working class. If they lose, it is
a crushing blow to all of us. If they
win, it will strengthen the workers
everywhere. May Day is the day for
every worker to pledge his solidarity
to the striking miners. Let us come
to their support with relief. Let us
double and treble the relief. Stand
