pledge which calls for the reputation
of the Save-the- Union program, the
district office will let them starve.
This is probably the most cold
blooded and inhuman weapon ever
used by a desperate and discredited
bureaucracy in the history of the
American labor movement to keep an
organization in its grip.
Fortunately for the Avella miners
and the striking coal diggers turnout
Western Pennsylvania and Ohio, the
Pennsylvania-Oh Ohio Miners Relief
Committee is coming to their aid with
food and clothing. Straining every
effort, this relief organization of rank
and file miners is mobilizing its
forces thruout the nation to glake
good the relief deficiency caused by
the action of the Lewis machine.
Misery.
A news reporter who visited the
barracks in Avella was struck with
the extent of the misery that pre-
vailed. He went through the flimsy
structure where a miner, his wife and
five children lived. The mother
showed her scanty food supply and
pointed out the cracks in the sides of
:Ae wooden walls. Other dwellings,
old the same story. Cramped living
quarters! Ragged clothing! Nothing
to eat!
This is the mining camp that drove
organizer Wolcott of the Miners
Union out of town last Saturday when
he tried to force the miners to sign
his starvation pledge and failing to
do this to distribute SITS worth of
relief among the twenty supporters of
Lewis in the local.
"Do you blame US women for what
we did yesterday when that district
organizer told us we wouldn't get any
relief?" mother of five children
asked the reporter.
Typical Situation.
The situation in Avella is typical
OF the conditions prevailing in many
other mining camps. The gallant bat
tiers, after having fought the opera
tors through year of suffering, are
now facing fresh onslaught from the
reactionary union officials.
No more serious duty ever faced the
American workers than to renew
their efforts to provide adequate re-
lief for those brave men and women
who are holding the front line
trenches for the American trade
union movement. Raise money i'm
mediately and forward it to the
Pennsylvania Ohio Miners Relief
Committee at Gil Penn Avenue, Pitts.

IN SOUTH HONAN
Workers Fight Against
General Feng

CANTON, April 13.-With six dis
tricts in southern Honan in complete
control of worker and peasant gov
ernments and with Swallow in immi-
nent danger Of capture by Red
Guards the position of the Kuomin-
tang generals in southern China is
becoming increasing difficult.
All efforts by General Huang Shao-
hung to crush the peasants armies
above Canton have failed because of
the sympathy Of large sections of
the army with the peasants and be-
cause Huang, fearing a revolt within
the city of Canton, is reluctant to
despatch a large body of troops
against the peasants.
Struggle Against Feng.
Reports received here from Honan
state that workers and peasants are
actively carrying on a struggle
against General Feng Yu-hsiang in
spite Of numerous executions. When
Chang Kai-shek spoke at meeting
arranged in his honor at Kaifung,
capital of the province, representa-
tives of the Union of Workers of the
Paking- Hankow Railway and other
workers distributed leaflets denounc-
ing Feng, Chang and the Kuomin-
tang.
Numerous Communists have been
executed in Honan, the reports state.
Three hundred and sixty-three work.
ers are reported to have been exc
cuted, and about five hunderd jailed
at the orders of Feng.
Secret Confab.
Chang Kai-shek and General Fene
are reported to have held another
secret conference at Hsuchow on
April 9th. Chang has promised to
help Feng in his campaign in Shan
tung while Feng is reported to have
promised Chang aid in his struggle
against the Kwangsi group.
General Hsu Chung-chi, a member
of the Central Executive of the Kuo-
mintang, who is now in this country
is believed to be negotiating for an
American loan to the Marking re-
gime.

WORKERS FIGHT
FOR S-HOUR DAY,
WAGE INCREASE
Lockout Follows Strike
by &c, 900 in Saxony

BERLIN, April 13-More than
100000 metal workers in Saxony will
be locked out, according to notices
posted by employers today.
The lockout followed the refusal Of
$4,000 strikers, who had walked out
after their demand for an eight hour
day and wage increase had been re-
fused, to return to work. The strug-
gle in Saxony may involve more than
half million more metal workers in
other sections of Germany.
The struggle in the metal trades is
only one of the nationwide labor
struggles now going in Germany. With
wage agreements expiring in many
of the basic industries, a drawn out
struggle looms in the chemical and
mining industries.
BERLIN, (By MaiD left

ing victory in the election of officials
in the Metal Workers Union in Hall
Central Germany, where metal
workers recently engaged in a six
weeks strike. The reformist candi,
dates in the metal workers union have

strike for an eight hour day.

must not be carried on. A partial
strike can be successful and must be
therefore utilized to the utmost. Par
tial strikes serve revolutionary pur-
pose if they succeed in breaking
through the refo1nist ring that en-
circles and strangles the mass move
ment, if they serve to signalize the
state of tension prevailing among the
masses and as starting point for
setting the whole movement into ac-
ton. Everything depends on the con-
crete situation, upon a sober appre-
citation of which every maneuver in
the industrial struggle must be based.
Communists must strenuously COM
bat every attempt made to impede
the development of the partial strikes
movement on the plea of weakness
of trade union organizations, the
risk of repressive measures on the
part of the government. etc.
7. To be able to lead the masses
during strikes, energetic prelimin-
airy work must be carried on before
each strike. Communists must al
ways be with the masses, and prove
by their continuous everyday work,
and able and energetic defense of
workers interests that they are bet
ter than the reformists. Workers
judge Communists not by their words,
but by their deeds-that is why the
everyday, painstaking political and
organization work in enterprises is so
important as preliminary condition
for success and which must be car
ried on if our claim to leadership in
strikes is to be effective. 1t will be
much easier for Communists to Sc
cure the leadership in the strike
movement if prior to the strikes, they
succeed in developing a broad move
ment for the formation of factory
committees in enterprises, or capture
good positions in factory committees
wherever they exist. These commit
tees represent the most suitable basis
for the establishment of strike CEN
tres, elected and recognized by the
working masses.

the wage reduction for one week if
the strike vote was also postponed.
This offer came too late for the union
leadership to accept. They therefore
declared their willingness to halt the
count of votes if the employers would
postpone the cut.
Knowing that the sentiment among
the 10000 textile workers was over
whelmingly for strike action, and that
the workers would demand a public
counting of votes, the manufacturers
refused to delay the date on which
the wage cut goes into effect
The United Textile Mill Commit

clared their support of the union mem

vicious wage slashes and speed-up

also call upon the workers in each

to establish connections with the CEN
