SLICKVILLE, Pa. (By NALL Pm
writing these few lines for The
DAILY WORKER to show all miners
and workers how Lewis is trying to
organize the miners for victory"
Today two ladies came from New
Kensington to solicit money for the
ST. king miners. They had creden-
tia from the Kinlock local union.
We asked one of them whether she
represented the Save-the- Union Com
mittee or the Lewis gang. They an
swered they were from the United
Mine Workers, from Lewis side. Then
| asked whether they give money and
food to all the strikers. They said
Lewis takes care of it all. So I asked
how it was that Lewis stopped all re-
lief from going to locals like Harwick
and Renton and other places in Dis
tricts and in Ohio where miners
are on strike for union. / said that
Lewis and~his gang were sending ere
lief only to his supporters in the
various locals of the districts. He
stopped relief for strikers even before
April l. By cutting the relief Lewis
tries to starve us into becoming scabs.
The women answered that the
Save-the-Union Committee was paved
by the coal operators.
"Yes, paid by clubbings for their
fine work for the miners" / said,
"arresting our leaders all the time"
Lewis is responsible for this trou-
BILE because he betrayed us in 1921
and %. He's doing the same thing
now by signing individual district
agreements and making even local
contracts. How can we winSthe strike
this way? Our slogan is united we
stand divided we fall"
These ladies told us to chase Lewis
out after we won. So | said that if
she wanted Lewis'>out she should join
the Save-the- Union side, throw him
out and select men who will lead us
to victory. Then we wouldn't have
such fights and betraying policies but
lone national contract and a good
/ strong Union. | asked them to heir
Jus. But they replied, go back tc
work! You are making a mistake by
striking with the Save-the- Unior
Committee. Go back, if you can get
| the job back"
ALI brothers can see how Lewis is
iorgarizing the miners, telling them
to go back to work. His policy is tc
organize US into slavery. We appeal
to every miner and worker. in the
country to promise that he will moi
allow John Lewis nor the operators t,
make scabs Of us. But we need help
feod and clothes, because we are
starving as we fight. The only relief
we get is from the National Miners
Relief Committee, Gil Penn Ave.
Pittsburgh, Pa. We want nothing
from the faker Lewis, we want all
workers to help us in our big struggle

REMUS, KILLER,
CRATER, FREED
Released to Shield the
Higher-Ups

COLUMBUS, O., June 20.-Gwrge
Remus, self-confessed slayer of his
wife and millionaire head of motor
ious bootleg graft ring. was released
today from the Lima State Hospital
for the criminal insane by decision Of
the state supreme court.
The release of Remus marks the
final chapter of one of the greatest
travesties of "justice" which the
courts ever staged. Remus was ac-
quilted of murder several months
ago in q trial in which, acting as his
own counsel, he was permitted to
make use Of all sorts Of sensational
circus stunts in order to hamstrins
the jury. After the trial he was
given sanity hearing, declared
dangerous" and sent to the Lima
State Hospital.
That the entire trial and the con-
finement Of Remus TO the state hos
pital were merely gestures to pla-
cate public opinion" is now more
evident than ever. Complete freedexn
for Remus is his reward for perma-
nently holding his tongue about wide
spread prohibition graft in which
many high officials are involved.

PARIS, June 2o.-Following the
convention Of the Paris district, the
national convention of French Com
munist Party has opened here in the
midst of great enthusiasm.
Reporting on the situation confront
ing the Party, Semard, leading French
Communist, pointed out that there is
no catastrophe crisis now impending,
but indicated the increased difficulties
abroad.
Fight decentralization"
The speaker declared that stabili-
ration of the franc affords fresh
basis for offensive in the form Of
naturalization causing an aggrava-
ton of the class struggle. He pointed
to the numerous strikes in the past
few months.
"The Communist Party must draw
the correct conclusions for united
front for the purpose of influencing
the social democrats" Semard urged
"There must be fewer negotiations
among the heads and more work
among the rank and file Of the social
democrats" he asserted.
He further urged the necessity Of
consolidating the work of the Party
and its organization in the industrial
centers. "We must collaborate to Sc
cure the Communist Party a leading
role in the trade union movement,
Semard declared.
Maintaining an opposition to the
election tactics of the French Com
munist Party, Renaud Jean asserted
that the shop nuclei are functioning
poorly. He urged the formation Of
street nuclei and proposed a spread Of
theoretical propaganda.
Strengthen Nuclei.
Speakers from all the districts
overwhelmingly disagreed with Re-
maud Jean. They proposed the
strengthening of the factory nuclei
a combating of the overestimation
of the Importance of parliamentary
success and a Misunderstanding Of
tactics.
The conference has showed itself to
be unanimous as regards the strength
oning of the Party.

make has not yet been announced, but
it is rumored that the Equitable Coach
Company has offered to set aside a
bus for the mayor in appreciation of
the bus franchises which Walker put
over for them.

will be U. S. Senator Robert F. Wag-
ner, who with Smith during the days
when both were in the state legisla-
ture were known as the Murphy Gold
Dust Twins"-they do Murph's dirty
work. At present Wagner's relations
with the traction interests are no less

Every homicide in Virginia in the

The Court further instructs you
that to constitute a willful, deliberate

No amount of suspicion of guilt,
however grave or strong, is sufficient
to find verdict. Nor is it sufficient
that the evidence shows preponder-

being upon the Commonwealth to
prove every necessary element of the

case, you have reasonable doubt as

minister of injustice and by his own
