Coal Diggers Overcome
in Vain Effort to Put
Out Raging Mine Fire

AMSTERDAM, O., Aug. 10
When crew of miners entered the
diggings of the Amsterdam Coal
Company mine Wednesday in an at
tempt to put out fire, Frank
Browne was overcome by the fumes.
He is reported to be in a very SER
ious condition today.
According to reports received at
the headquarters Of the National
Miners Relief Committee, the blaze
started after all the coal diggers
had left the pit.
Although the company maintains
that the fire was caused by crossed
wires, its origin has not been Of
ficially ascertained. Unless the min
ers succeed in bringing the blaze
under control, it may be necessary
to seal up the mine and suspend OPP
erations.

RANKS OF STEEL
PICKETS swell
Meet Deportation Move
With Longer Lines
by a Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
CANTON, Ohio, Aug. 16-A
picket line swelling day by day is
the answer of the strikers in the
Central Alloy Steel Corporation to
attempts of the authorities to
smash the walk-out of 800 men by
seizure and detention of strikers on
charges involving deportation pro-
ceedings.
Unterrified by the detention of
six strikers by the immigration au-
thorities the strike is continuing I'M
abated with the five hundred chip
pers and grinders solidly organized
in the Central Alloy Steel Mill Com
mittee, and determined to spread
the strike to the steel industry the
country over.
Unable to prosecute them with a
shadow of legitimacy, the authori-
ties have been forced to relinquish
two of the strikers detained. The
remaining four, having passports,
expect to be released within the
next few days.
The cases of four men arrested
con suspicion" have been continued.
Attempts of the special steel
guard to terrorie the pickets with
guns and powerful lights blazing at
night at every entrance to the mills
have completely failed to affect the
morale of the men.
Solidarity of all workers with the
strikers in Canton was exemplified
in the miners relief meeting at
tended by 1000 men and women in
Nimisila Park, Tuesday night. Be-
sides his plea for the miners, l.
Amter, working class leader, urged
thS Importance of carrying to a
ziS1sh the struggle in which the
men are now engaged with the steel
corporation. Amter declared that
the surrender to the corporation
now means immediate reduction of
wages, not only in Canton, but thru
out the steel industry. His speech
was enthusiastically received by the
workers.
Strike leaflets were sold at the
meeting and distributed on the pick
ct line the following day.

WORKERS Will.
HOLD TAG DAYS
AUGUST Is TO 26
Labor Organizations to
Aid Collections

The week of Monday, August 20,
designated as Red Week by the
Campaign Committee of the Work
ers (Communist) Party, will be OBJ
served by many workers clubs
throughout the city by the suspen-
sion of their routine orders of bust
ness in favor Of much shorter
one. Many workers clubs have al
ready signified their intention of
sending their memberships out with
collection lists to collect funds for
the Workers (Communist) Party
Election Campaign Fund after a
short address on the Importance of
the 1928 elections, the vital issues
at stake with respect to the ex-
ploitation and understanding poll
cies of the capitalist parties. Other
workers clubs, which have not yet
arranged for this abbreviated order
of business are urged to do so by
the Election Campaign Committee
of District 2 of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party.
"Never before in any election
campaign" said the Campaign Con-
mittee in statement issued last
night, "has the similarity of both
the democratic and republican par
ties been so evident as this year,
with dyed-in-the-wool republicans
on the democratic committee and
staunch democrats who have served
their party in many a crooked deal
intending to cast their votes for
Smith the strikebreaker. That is
why many thousands of workers will
this year actively support the cam
paign of the Workers (Communist)
Party who have remained apathetic
in previous campaigns"
While collection lists will be seen
in every part of New York where
workers live or meet all week, and
thousands of pencils will write thou
sands of names on those lists along
with thousands of contributions to
the Communist Campaign Fund, the
bulk of the money expected will re-
suit from the two Red Tag Days of
August 25th and 26th. All workers
of this city are urged to participate.
Stations have been set up in every
workingclass section of the city. To
effectively carry on the Communist
campaign thousands of leaflets will
have to be distributed and funds for
printing are urgently needed.

$4,000 Workers To Attend.
Rose Baron, in a statement is
sued yesterday said: "All the agen-
cies of so-called public opinion, the
press, the movies and the radio are
anxious to stifle every mention Of
the forthcoming Sacco-Vanzetti
memorial meeting. The ruling class
in America wants these two heroic
names blotted out forever. The
New York section of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense calls upon
every militant worker in the city to
make it his or her duty to attend
this mass demonstration. The
names Sacco and Vanzetti must
never be forgotten; they must be
watchwords ever reminding US of
the fury of class justice here in
America"
1t is estimated that more than
$4,000 New York workers will
crowd the square on the day of the
memorial meeting. The demonstra-
ton will start at p. m. Wednes-
day, August 22nd.

A TIP ON VACATIONS


President Coolidge. in his choice Of Brule river for
his summer vacation, expressed suggestion that
many Of us might find benefit in following.
In the remote northern woods, the president will
have opportunity to spend hours all alone, away from
the thousand and-one annoyances that daily life put
upon him.
IL we all could be alone just for few hours now
and then! Away from people 49, pail upon US, away
from scenes that have become almost a part Of US,
away in new land and alone Is there not some
thing enhancing in treading new paths, alone?
The petty banalitics Of workaday world seem
remote them and the trifling cares vague memories.
Standing before a great tree in the forest wander
ing along with winding creek thoughts that so
old that they new come crowding into the mind
and rejuvenated, spirits renewed.
The society Of others. of those dearest to US,
sometimes grows almost intoerable. The samcncss
Of routine and the people meet while ploddng
our rut make wish for rest, for just few hours
alone
It is when alone with nature that we find
ourselves From natures beauties there is invita-
ton to leisure that is irresistible It is when are
alone in a world that remember some i'm
portant things that had all but forgotten refresh
ing u.s. telling who are, after all, revealing to
US the destiny had all but lost sight Of.

THE OPTIMISM OF AGE
(St. Paul Dispatch)


THE world is better today than it has ever been, y
was the theme Of an address made by Smith Stimme
an S5year old Civil War veteran at the annual state
campfire of the G. A. r., at jamestown, North Da-
kota Those who declare the world is going to the
bow-wows have not seen what he and his aged COM
rades have witnessed and the change for the better
the advance Of the nation in the short span Of a
human life.
Grabbed old age has been too often pictured as
looking backward with regret for the lost glories of
the good old days" Nothing Of the present equal
in their esteem, that which was the past. Even old
age is changing for the better If has the habit of
reminiscing. it recounts the evil well as the good
Of a past time. Here is Smith Stimmc who knew
Abraham Lincoln and the great Of that day and
who maintains for the comfort of this generation that
this is better world than it when fought
and died to the Union. Those who profess to
see decadence part Of modern progress lack the
backward vision Of the Grand Army veteran for a
just comparison and fair assay.
