At mass meeting of unorganized
workers a branch of the Workers
Party was organized at Yukon, West
moreland County, in the soft coal re-
gion of Pennsylvania. Seven members

ferring charges against local relief
committees, bringing pressure to bear
on the police to stop affairs organized
to raise funds for the striking min
ers, calling the state constabulary to
break up meetings and melting the
government to proceed even more Wig
orously than in the past against the
progressive elements in the union.
The bureaucracy of the United
Mine Workers is ready to make big
concessions to the operators in the
wage scale, provided they secure re-
cognition for themselves. They want
to play their role as trained rams of
capitalism, so that they may be in a
position to secure better price for
their services from the capitalist par
ties in election campaigns.
Trying to Shift Issue.
The present attack on the militants
in the miners union-thru the mouth
of the journalistic tout Manly-is an
attempt to shift the issue in the
union from the winning of the strike
and the saving of the union to Com
munism.
The coal operators and the reac-
tionary union officials speak with one
voice against the progressives. This
is Vice President Philip Murray, Of
the U. M w. of A. talking:
"The union has been fighting the
growth of revolutionary radicalism
for twenty years and we shall
continue to do so. Il do not believe
they are making any substantial head
way among the union miners. What
may happen, however, if the opera
tors continue indefinitely to refuse to
enter into negotiations for the set
Element of this strike, no one can say.u
Here is not word OF criticism Of
the action of the operators in starv
ing hundreds Of thousands of men
women and children, driving them out
into the cold winter and turning the
murderous coal and iron police and
the state constabulary loose on them
Murray drops the operators a stronp
hint that they should sit around thu
table with the reactionary labor lead
ers and plan a joint battle on the
progressives.
And a coal operator made the fol-
lowing statement to Basil Manly, but
did not wish his name to be published
in connection with it,
Coal Baron With Labor Takers.

would assist the union in checking
the dangerous activities Of the Com

Force PAN american Union
To Recognize Intervention

HAVANA, Cuba, Feb. 2.--The Pan
American Congress goes solemnly and
sadly about its work of hams ringing
the defiant motion of Mexico, that "No
state in the Pan American Union has
a right to intervene in the internal
affairs of another"
When this motion was first made,
the United States delegate, Chas. E.
Hughes, practically ordered the South
and Central American delegations to
kill it. The killing, a slow and pain
full process, is going on. The Next
can resolution was referred to COM
mittee for revision.
Peruvian Is Used.
Today a substitute was reported in
by V. Maurtua, of Peru, which says !:
'All states possess the independent
right to work out their own welfare
without intervention or control by
other states, but in the exercise of this
right they must not violate the rights
of other states" and that "the die
taces of international law afford pro-
lection for individuals of one state
residing in another state which may
be subject to intervention for their
protection"
At he meeting today the Nicaragu-
an situation was prominently to the
front, being discussed by the Hughes
steam roller as an example of state
where intervention had taken place.
Peru Is Betrayed.
The delegate from Peru appeared
to be somewha5 taken back, when,
after performing this service for the
United States interventionists, his
own country, with the apparent con-
sent of Hughes, was struck a heavy
blow by no. ification that Chile sought
the Congress- approval for the aban-
donment of the Tacna-Arica plebiscite,

ceived no wages while laid up, are
thus forced to undergo great priva-
