Speaking before a large audience
of workers who filled the Irving
Plaza, Irving Place and Fifteenth
St., Benjamin Gitlow, member of
the Central Committee of the Work
ers (Communist) Party, denounced
States, in common with the other
the preparations which the United
imperialist powers, is making for
a new war.
"War with one another, and war
against the Soviet Union," is the
object of the militarists of all ma
tionalities," Gitlow declared.
Pointing to the preparations
which the powers are making in an
ever increasing speed-up, Gitlow
showed that the imperialist slaugh-
ter is being brought nearer and
nearer with every plate that is
screwed to a battleship.
"While the antagonisms between
the governments of the United
States and Great Britain are daily
growing greater and making war
between the two nations just that
much more certain, their govern
ments are simultaneously preparing
for war against the Soviet Union,'
the speaker declared.
He further showed how the in
terests of the governments of the
United States and Great Britain are
conflicting in every section of the
world as they strike against one an
other for markets for their manu-
factures and their capital and for
sources of'raw material.

T00HEY FREED
IN PITTSBURGH
FRAME-UP CASE
New Attempt to Crush
National Miners
Union Fails
Lewis Gang Alarmed
Militant Union Grows
Among Workers

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 25.-
Another move in the frantic drive of
the coal barons and the corrupt
Lewis gang to crush the militant
National Miners Union was proven
to be frame-up plot yesterday
when the cases of Pat Toohey, sec
retary- of the National Min
ers' Union, and Dorothy Ros, office
hookkeeper, were dismissed in the
United States District Court here by
Judges Nelson and Vickar. They
had been arrested on charges OF
contempt of court" and thrown into
Jail in lieu of $4,000 bonds.
In his decision, the judge stated
that it was obvious the defendants
had no control over the books de-
sired by the grand jury, and which
had caused their arrest.
Lewis Gang Move.
This frame-up move, though con-
templated for long time, was made
Friday by the coal barons and the
corrupt Lewis machine, which be-
trayed the last heroic strike of the
miners in the bituminous fields, anG
which has, for a long time, beer
alarmed by the growing strength anc
influence of the militant National
Miners Union.
The fake charge on which the
Lewis betrayal group, in collusior
with the courts, tried unsucccssfully
to frar.e Toohey, is that he failed tc
turn over records of the Nationa
Miners Relief for court inspection
Concocted by the same vicious Lewis
group which not only failed to aid
the strikers when they were beset
by hunger and lack of homes and
the freezing winter cold, this at
tempt to railroad Toohey to jail and
smash the union is looked upon as
complete evidence of the terror into
which the formation of the new
fighting union has thrown the cor
rupt ranks of the betrayers.

frame-up was concocted ten week:

U. S. IN FAKE
PEACE GESTURE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 25.
A very clever move in the war
preparations now being speeded up
is the proposal, informally an
nounced, that the state department
would "sound out" the leading pow
ers signatory to the world court
with a view, pretendedly, of their
accepting the United States adher-
ence to the court regardless of the
reservations to such an adherence
laid down three years ago by the
senate.
The reason this is war prepara-
ton lies in the fact that an i'm

its workers that they die willingly

MICHIGAN MINERS
BITTER AT CUT
Demand National Mine
Union Organization

SAGINAW, Mich, (By Mail-De-
layed) AS a result of the latest
betrayal by the Lewis gang here,
whose new agreement has cut the
wages of the already -underpaid
workers, the miners are demanding
to break with the corrupt crew and
form a new branch of the militant
National Miners Union here.
The miners Of Saginaw, Bay City
and Charles are bitter against the
Lewis machine that was responsible
for the wage cut and the worsening
of working conditions. Although
open statement of their opinions
against their officials means expul-
sion and loss of work for them,
many are openly propagating the
formation here of a new local of
the National Miners Union.
The betrayal was arranged at a
meeting of District "a Of the U. M.
w. of A.. where the new agreement
eliminating the six week strike was
voted upon. The new scale provides
for reduction of 10 per cent for
leaders and cutters, and decrease
in wages for day men from $3.50 a
day to $5.92 and 1-2. The agreement
is to continue until April l, 1880.
Vote Framed by Lewis Gang.
E. B. Reese, head of the miners
organization here stated to the capi-
talist press that approximately one
half of the membership voted" His
reasons were that this was due to

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Nov. 25

concoction.
One of the trade union leaders
has stated that the Russian work
ers would have complete prohibition
in 100 or $50 years, not by law but
by personal choice, since they no
longer would want to resort to drink
in order to escape from the drudg-
cry and drabness of this life into
an unreal world of alcoholic fan
tasy, and would have so many other
social pleasures that drinking for
"sociability' would seem stupid and
degrading.

REVEAL THE
STRENGTH OF SANDING

That Hoover's cancellation of a
trip inland in Nicaragua is owing
to the strength of the revolutionary
nationalist army under General San
dino, and other startling information
concerning the ambushes set by U.

thizers, and their massacre, together
with the desire of some marines to
escape from the imperialist dirty
work, is shown by the following let
ters from marines, which are given
with certain deletions to protect the
