PITTSBURGH, June 29.-The Ma
tional Miners Relief Committee has
issued call for renewed and addi-
tional activity in the collection of
funds fer miners relief which says
in part:
1--WE cannot impress upon you too
strongly the need for your steady
application to relief work at this
time. Many friends think that they
only need to assist once or twice and
that then their duty is done.
"Yet more than fifty mining
camps above the number we give re-
lief to have asked, begged, appealed
to us, for little flour for bread for
the children. We could not help be-
cause of lack of funds. It is hard
for us to deny them assistance, yet
what can we do-unless you and your
friends make steady remittances and
resolve to remain loyal to the strik
ing miners until the very last day of
the struggle?
Children are going hungry day
after day. Ever more evictions-and
= +ho Let few weeks we have moved
dozens of miners families into tum
olgn houses, barns, woodshedg.
and have bought and erected tents
whenever possible.
eve have defense cases in great
number-miners arrested for picket
ing, for walking down a public high
way, for trying to hold meetings.
Crowds of miners committees be-
siege our offices hoping to get lit
tie food relief for their camps. They
return day after day upon our prom
Use that as soon as a little more mon
ey comes in we will help them a bit.
"The appeals of these miners for
aid to appease the hunger of their
wives and children must be met. You,
our sympathizers and friends in all
cities mast do your very best to re-
main active, to become more active
in the relief campaign. We must
have money! Collect funds in the
hest way you can-but please do
something to send us money-quick
very quick

Lovesick all against our will.
And that is, as it were, keynote
speech of the Play Arts presentation.
The chorus singing is excellent, but
the play is all flattened out, reduced
to its essential proprieties, which,
considering the prevailing taste on
Broadway, is going some.
The more enduring parts of Gilbert
and Sullivan, the flashing knife work
with which the gas bags of aestheti-
cism are laid open, are preserved.
Donald Kirkley as Bunthorne and Ed

enlightening posters. AS matter of
fact, they have not yet recovered
from the shock of seeing these stars.
Nevertheless, we are sure that
Major Hesse's hysterical order to the
Washington police won't dampen in
the least the militant spirit with
which these young workers and
students convey the truth to the high
school students about the capitalists
preparations for imperialist wars. We
are sure that many students, after
reading these posters, will NOT go to
the CMTC, but will join us in I'M
masking the CMTC to show the true
function of this institution-to train
loyal soldiers, loyal to the parasites
of humanity.

Posters" states large headline in a
recent issue of the Washington Sun
day "Star," commenting upon the re-
cent display of Anti-CMTC posters on
the walls of Washington high schools.
The post" the Herald" and other
local newspapers state in one breath
that Mr.. Stephen E. Kramer, in
charge of military training Of the
local schools, says that "they want US
to get excited, and personally, don't
think we will" In the same article
it says that the superintendent of the
local police, Major Hesse, issued
orders to the entire police force, say
ing that "placards signed Young
Workers (Communist) League of
America expressing opposition to
the citizens military training camps,
have recently been found posted on
the corridors of business high school
and elsewhere. Be on the lookout for
any one placing these posters, and, if
possible, arrest the person or persons
responsible therefore and present the
facts to the prosecuting officers at
police court"
The local war-niongers surely place
themselves in a ridiculous position,
when in their pretension to "ignore
the plastering Of the Anti-CMTC
leaflets" the newspapers are stirred
to announcements such as ARREST of

Hesse;" ATTACK Training Camps"

must have shaken badly when he read
those posters, exposing to the youth
of Washington the true role of the
CMTC as the bosses tool to prepare
cannon fodder for the coming big

other outfit of parasites or for the
contemplated attack upon the only

DIRTY BUSINESS
Workers Refuse to Ac-
cept Cut
O3y a Worker Correspondent.)

(I3y a Worker Correspondent
The I. Miller Shoe Co. has been
systematically cutting the wages %
its workers by many schemes.
1. It lays off workers and takes
them back at less money.
,. II fires workers and puts on
others at less money than it paid be-
fore.
3. Il continually forces the work
ors to work on a piece work basis
with reimbursement of the scale.
4. 1t forces direct wage cuts on
the workers with and without ex-
cuses
In all Of its attempts to get great4
er profits from it's workers it has the
support Of its tools or servants. the
officials of the company union. This
week we had another sample of how
the company union fights for US.
A meeting Of two hundred lasters
took place Monday night under the
Craftsmanship of one of the company
union officials who told the lasters
tc swallow this brazen steal.
A six and one-half cent cut on
every pair Of shoes for which the
company will supply shoes to the
lasters with the tacks pulled.
The two hundred lasters were in
diqnant and refused this cut. They
demanded to see the boss himself
Mr.. Charlie Miller then came. Mr..
Miller gave no reasons for this cut
but promised if they would take it
lac would give them steady work till
winter.
The lasters replied that it would
be imnossihle to make a living wage
with this cut They have to loose a
great deal of time in waiting for
work even with this present system.
Charlie Miller and his company
union tools don't care about the
workers earning a decent wage. All
he wants is more profits for the COM
ianv
Next week l will have a letter
showing the profits that l. Miller
Sons, Inc, has made the last few
years and the enormous profits it
has made from the workers so far
this year.

parading down into the side aisle and

such good voices that you forget they
handle their sabres in a most I'M
martial manner. Somebody should
tell few of them that in the re-
turn sabre, the point is inserted in the
scabbard without three or four un-
necessary jabs at the opening.
Mary Bokee, as Patience, despite
the fact (if it be fact) stated in
the program, that her experience is
confined to the Play Arts Guild pro-
auctions, manages to make up in
startling resemblance to movie ac-
tress. In this part, it adds touch
of exoticism, however, and is certain
ly not to be condemned. Patience and
Lady Jane, done by Gertrude M.
Gossman (previous experience not
stated by the program) get the most
out of their foolery. Probably they
will not have to teach school for a
living. The very pretty Lovesick
Maidens chorus is not little stiff
and careful of its feet. 1t is swathed
in more drapery than is usually need
ed in chorus, and its movements are
too much patterned after the dragon
drill But it sings well, and that, /
suppose, is the main thing.
1t is a good show, because the peo-
pie on the stage give honest and able
attention to the beautiful and hum
orous lyrics of Messrs. Gilbert and
Sullivan. But it is not as good
performance as others have done.

Il wish to write few lines for The
DAILY WORKER about local labor
haters.
Organize Children
At tie beginning of 1928 the strik-
ing miners, of whom I am one, real
lied the necessity Of organizing the
children. Our slogan was that we
will organize the children in spite of
all obstacles. We did organize them
because we saw that we have to teach
the Youngsters to be on the side OF
labor and not with the capitalists.
Thus the Young Pioneers started
with a membership of 300 or more.
This marked the rise to faction" of
labor-fakers, stool-pigeons, ETC., of
the bosses and Of Lewis. The spies
spread lies about the children's clubs,
stating that they were taught not to
go to school and church. They poi
ssoned the minds Of many parents who
afterwards did not send their children
to the meetings where they would
learn something which would be of
benefit to them as workers in the
future. They would learn never to
be tools Of the capitalists, but would,
on the contrary, smash all attempts
of the capitalist class to Cypress the
workers. Had the older folks such
an opportunity as their children have
now, they would not be in the present
great coal strike of life and death.
These narrow minded stoolpigeons
should have been taught this and per-
haps they would be on the side of the
strikers and not be committing such
horrible acts. The religious move
ment, catholic and protestant alike,
forgot one arother's creed, allied
themselves with the bosses, Lewis and
his henchman, to crush in the bud all
movements for organization.
Father Skrak
The leader of this movement was
Father Skrak of the catholic church.
I would not want to have father
like that. The reason for this l will
show shortly.
He included in his gospel direct at
tacks against those who want to do
something for the labor movement.
He criticized the Save-the- Union
Committee and the miners who send
their children to Communist meet
ings. He warned his church lambs
not to send any of their boys or girls
to these meetings. He stated before
tn, y. S. Senate that the children are
being taught not to go to church (not
to bring last cent for the weekly
collection, he means) nor attend
school. He seems to know every
thing, yet he was never at any Com
munist meeting
One Pioneer, 13 years of age, told
him what she thought of him. He
accused ner of being sent by the
superintendent. asked myself
whether he was a man and came to
the conclusion he was not.
1t happened that some time before
this scab priest in our town re-
ceived scab coal from the company
for preaching their propaganda. The
striking miners gave him so tons Of
coal because they thought he was
with them. After all these sacrifices
they were disappointed. He repaid
them bitterly. He launched attacks
against us. expelled strikers children
from school for which they supplied
coal.

find the gymnasium satisfactory for
dances in the future. The principal

Forecast Shooting
Stars for Thursday

Chicago. Nov. S Pl-Neyt Thurs
day night there will be the most
brilliant spectacle of shooting stars
ever afforded this generation, it was
forecast today by astronomers at the
ferkes observatory, Williams Bay.
Wisconsin. On that night the earth
moves into the astral region of the
Leonid meteors, believed to be the
remnants of a comet.
The Leonid group. it was explain
ed by Prof. Edwin b. Frost, direc-
tor of the observatory, whirls
around the sun in an orbit that
crosses the earth's. Every November
the orbits meet, but in an interval of
every 50 years the earth passes
squarely through the center of the
Leonid orbit
THE meteors speed through in
terplanetary space at a temperature
about 400 degrees below zero" Prof.
Frost said. "When they enter the at
mosphere of the earth the friction
heats them to a glow and they
usually burn up before they strike
the ground"
