Leading Fight of Unorganized.
"The Workers (Communist) Party
is today leading in the fight for the
organization of the unorganized.
"It is for all these reasons that we
find that the entire capitalist system
and all it's agents in the trade unions
are fighting and prosecuting the Com

"It is for these very same reasons

"The best guarantee for a real and

extension of the base of the Workers

with greater vigor and effectiveness
to lead the struggle not only of tbs
miners but of all the workers of this

The floor was then opened for dis
cussion.
John Bellfield, secretary of the
German local 306, of Old Forge, took
the floor, and made the statement that
he had been invited to the meeting by
a friend, and knew nothing previously
of the program of the Save-the- Union
Committee. He said that he was
heartily in accord with that program
as outlined by Brother Papcun, and
proceeded to give an account of his
personal experiences with the corrupt
officials of District One.
Unemployed II Months.
"My local has not been working for
seventeen months" he said, "and dur
ing that time we have not received one
cent in relief from the district. went
up to the district office, saw Boylan,
examined the books and found that
over $4,000 had been collected for re-
lief of my local by assessing all mem
bers twenty-five cents"
When Bellfield asked that the dis
trict office publish an account of what
had been done with the $4,000 shown
on the books to have been collected,
Boylan replied, 1--WE don't like every
body to know our business"
Other delegates arose and related
unsettled grievances.
Suspect Brennan.
All who spoke evidenced mistrust
of Brennan and his motives in calling
the special convention in District One.
Stanley Dziengielewski, chairman
of the Tri-District Save-the-U MON
Committee, urged organization of
Save-the-U Union blocs in every local.
These blocs to meet regularly to dis
cuss affairs of the district and of the
United Mine Workers. This PROPOSE
ton was enthusiastically accepted.
Before adjourning, Papcun read the
text of leaflet to be issued by the
Save-the- Union Committee.
Touching on President Lewis ulti-
matum that the membership surren-
der to Cappelini, the statement asserts
that unless Brennan speaks out
against this treachery he will be held
equally responsible with Boylan, who
has already sold out the opposition.

coal operators.
every miner who actively works
for the Save the Union Committee
shows thereby that he not only
knows of the problems that the miners
are faced with, but has a program for
the abolition of the present condi-
lions and for making the United Mine
Workers of America into powerful
mass organization free from the dom
nation of the coal operators and its
agents, an organization capable of or
ganizing the unorganized miners and
win better conditions for the miners.
Every miner who is a member Of
the Workers (Communist) Party
thereby shows that he understands
that the fight of the miners is a
fight of the entire working class;
that the workers must organize not
only into powerful unions that will
lead struggles against the employers,
but also that the workers as whole
must unite their forces in common

every miner who is a member Of
the Party knows further that the
capitalist class is organized As a
class, that the government of the
United States and of every state,
city, ETC., is an instrument of the
capitalist class. He knows that the
Republican and Democratic Parties

Tri-District Struggle.

The anthracite has become the
scene of struggle at this time where
revolvers, rifles and machine guns
have been used and where the cleo
tric chair is being prepared in an
attempt to smash the opposition to
the official machine in the union.
Already Thomas Lillis, Alex Camp
bell and Peter Reilly, members OF
Local 1903 have been murdered be-
cause they have been leaders in the
struggle opposing the quadruple al
lance of the coal operators, the con-
tractors, the union officials and the
state. "Big Sam" Grecio also was
assaulted and while he is now recov-
ering it is not yet certain that he
will.
The trouble at No. 6 Colliery
started when the Pennsylvania Coal
Co. tried to introduce the mechanical
loader in combination with the in
dividual contract system which has
been enforced at that mine and which
the miners turnout the anthracite re-
gion have continually opposed but
which the officialdom has sanctioned,
permitted to continue.
A Program of Murder.
Not satisfied with the murder of
these brothers, the official machine
today is trying to send Sam Bonita,
Adam Moleski and Steve MENDOZA to
the electric chair. These miners have
been indicted for murder because
they defended themselves against
the Cappelini machine gunman.
Frank Agati who was an organizer
on the payroll of the miners union
of District and a personal body
guard of Cappelini. While drawing
pay from the union, Agati was at
the same time a contractor in the
No. 6 Colliery. Agati was killed
when he fired upon the committee
which was composed of Bonita, Mo
Ieski and MENDOZA, representing Lo-
cal Union 1903 and which had come
for the purpose of settling the griev-
ances which prevailed at that time
and still exist in that local union.
A Frame-up.
In spite of the fact that Bonita,
MolesBi and MENDOZA gave themselves
up willingly, the state Immediately
in alliance with Cappelini, the con-
tractors and the coal company pro-
ceeded to put the machinery of so
called justice into motion and are
preparing to railroad Bonita, Moleski
and MENDOZA to the electric chair.
On February the goth, "Big Sam"
Grecio, another insurgent and who
IS one Of the leaders of the Save-the-
Union Committee was also attacked
and is only now recovering. As yet
the state seems unable to find who
made the attack tho there are clues
to the guilty ones.
On February 18th, Alex Campbell
and Peter Reilly, outstanding lead
ers of Local 1703, and the symbols
Of the struggle in the district against
the individual contract system were
brutally murdered in broad daylight
Yet no arrests have been made. The
district is aroused over these killings
The membership not only in District
one but thruout the tri-district and
the international union is aroused
over the killing of these miners and
now is carrying on struggle to wipe
cut the system, and to eliminate the
reactionary machine which is respons-
ibIe for these killings.
