WAR ON STRIKERS
Struggle Unmasks the
Friends of Labor"

Continued from rage One)
spokesman are chosen carefully for
the purpose they are to serve-pre-
pairing the way for the enactment of
criminal syndicalist law and the
strengthening of other suppressive
laws now on the statute books.
Present Laws Inadequate"
The strike of the miners has shown
that the present laws, even with
elastic Interpretation given, do not
authorize the falling of workers for
long terms for striking and picket
ing. III addition the strike has I'M
masked the coal operators before the
gaze of thousands of unsympathetic
eyes.
Coal Barons and Laws Exposed.
The operators have been shown
robbing the miners in the pots and on
the tipples and plundering the con-
sumers at the scales where coal is
sold at retail.
The strike has shown to the work.
ers that the Industrial Commission
and the anti--picketing law are tools
and weapons of the capitalists. 1t
has been shown that mining laws
favorable to the miners have been
thrown onto the scrap-heap so that
more profits could be made.
Governor Adams Unmasked..
The strike has shown that Gov
ernor Adams, the "friend of labor"
and the whole state government, are
part of the suppressive machinery.
1t has exposed the reactionary labor
leadership. 1t has shown to the work
ers that to strike against the coal
operators is to find the press, the
state and all forces of Colorado cap
italism against the workers.
Capitalists Desperate.
The Colorado capitalist class is des-
perate. The most powerful group in
the state is the coal miners division.
This group, in spite Of certain inter-
nal conflicts, is united on a policy
of further suppression. The Column
bine massacre and the recent MUIR
ders of strikers and sympathizers in
the southern coal fields, is to be fol-
lowed by more vicious anti-labor leg
islation.
The usual tactics of capitalists,
when their democracy" is exposed as
fraud, are to be adopted-there is
to be an extension of the capitalist
dictatorship.
Political Phase of Great Struggle.
The statement of the secretary of
the mining association gives a clear
political aspect to the great struggle
of the miners. 1t puts the whole
question of the role of the state gov
eminent squarely before the working
class and the labor movement.
The advocacy of a criminal syndi-
calism law and of the strengthening
1 of the industrial commission and the
anti-picketing law by the spokesman
of the most powerful capitalist group
in the state brings the issue of q
labor party sharply into the fore.
/ ground Of the struggle.
The wording of mining associa.
TONS statement shows that the sup
pressive legislation is to be uset
against all the poorer sections of the
population--workers, farmers, liberia
intellectuals and the lower stratum
of the middle class.
The organization of labor part,
to fight against the vicious meas
ures proposed and to centralize tn,
efforts Of the masses on this fielt
needs to be pushed with the utmos
energy in the unions, cooperative
and all organizations of the worker
and farmers.

While Peasants Starve

PEKTNG, Jan. 1e.-Such Chinese
delicacies as venison tail soup, bears
nav, frogs swe<4breads, and shark
fins were served l1y Chang Tso-lin at
a dinner given at tl'le Imperial Palace
to the diplomatic corps. This was the
first occasion on which Chang Tso-
lin entertained the foreign represen-
tatives. He personally prepared the
last course pot au fe1l--in a chat
ing dish. explaining that it was a
national Muchurian dish. The ladies
of the diplomatic corps were received
by Changes fifth wife.
Thousands of peasants in Shantung
and Chilli are reported to have
starved to death in a hunger wave
which is affecting ten million peas
ants. The famine is attributed largely
to heavy taxation imposed by Chang
Tso-lin and to confiscation of crops
by Changes troops.

for 1928

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 16.-The execu-
tive council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor opens its first quarterly
meeting of 1928 here today. Labor
officials are giving out hints as to the
Importance of the session.
It is reported that two committees
will be selected to present to the re-
publican and democratic conventions
the usual set of "labor's demands
William Green, president of the A. F.
of L., is slated for the craftsmanship
of these committees. Demands for
curling the issuance of injunctions
will probably form the major issue
in the A. F. of L. program.
Gompers Got Minutes.
Thus far no constructive results
have followed from the official A. F.
of l.. procedure of attempting to play
off one of the capitalist parties
against the other. In the past such de-
mands, especially on the republican
party, have been flagrantly flouted.
Gompers in 1924 was given five min
utes to present his demands before
the republican convention. The as
semblage of democrats, according to
Gompers' testimony, listened to him
with little more respect.

Cautious MussoIini
Is Saved by Armour

LONDON, Jan. 16.-New details of
the reported duel between Premier
Mussolini and Count Calvi, husband
of Princess Yolanda, were reported
here today by the Central News,
which attributes its report to Vienna
correspondent, who in turn quotes the
Croatian newspaper "Kooatsky Nard-
nj Glas."
According to this unconfirmed re-
port, the duel arose out of an argu-
ment between Premier Mussolini and
Crown Prince Umberto. The crown
prince is said to have objected to Prem
Ter Mussolini's plan to have his own
portrait placed upon the new two lire
coin. Heated words arose and Prince
Umberto is said to have summoned
Count Calvi, who is alleged to have
struck the premier in the face with his
gloves. Seconds met and a duel was
arranged in the Geological Gardens.
The duel ended, according to this re-
port, WIN Calvi's sword was shattered
after it had struck a shirt of mail
worn by the premier. Count Calvi is
said then to have thrown the broken
half of his sword in the premier's face.
The Croatian newspaper states that
news of the duel was entirely sun
pressed in Rome.
