A m erican firm known as
Stuart's, and that he had parti-
cipated in the plot to destroy the
coal industry of the U. S. S. R.
His admission of guilt fol-
lowed a long statement against
him by Prosecutor Krilenko of
the Soviet Government, who had
accused him of having contin-
ually backed the American Stuart
firm in preference to that operated by
The Soviet Union, in consideration of
Inc monthly salary.
Following the adjournment of the
trial this afternoon, the American,
Stuart, in a statement to American
newspaper men tried to excuse his
action by asserting that he had mere
~ paid the Soviet engineers "in strict
accordance with the terms" of their
contract, ard for nothing more.

A young worker, a Spaniard, en-
ployed as dough mixer in the huge
National Biscuit Company plant on
Ninth Avenue, was crushed to death
Monday. when his arm was caught in
the dough-mixing machine. For sew
eral months previous to his death
he had been employed at the 10th

is one of the results of the speed-up
here.
He had been transferred to his
new position only last week to take
the place of an experienced dough
mixer. The reason for this was that

union, yesterday issued call
for support in making the COM
ing mine convention a success.
Rank and File To Act.
The time has arrived, the
statement declares, when the
rank and file in the miners
union must take matters in their
own hands. The betraying poll
cies of Lewis and his treacher-
Gus clique has crippled, beyond
repair, the once powerful miners
union. At this moment the hundreds
of thousands of miners in this coun-
try are at the complete mercy of the
coal operators. Quick action is re-
quired to save the miners from the
misery and slavery which faces them
On June 18th, conference Of the
recently elected executives of Dis
tricts 5, 6 and II, and other nation
ally known miners was held in Pitts
burgh, Pa. The result of this confer
ence was the issuing of call for a
national miners convention to form a
new powerful union in the mining in
dustry, to be held in Pittsburgh, Pa,
on September GIG, 1928.
Representative Convention.
Every worker must realize that it
lis Of utmost Importance that every
local union of the crippled United
Mine Workers of America is repre-
sented at this historical convention. 1t
lis also very essential that the miners
of the unorganized territories, so
ttreacherously betrayed by Lewis, be
well represented at the convention.
This convention must be made
huge success. This convention will
give the knockout blow to the entire
rotten Lewis machine. A successful
national miners convention, and the
organization of a clean and strong
miners union, will mean new hope
and life to the entire working class
of this country.
Difficult Task.
But TO accomplish tins Is a diff
cult task. A great deal of organiza-
ton work has to be done and much
money is needed. Already the reac-
tionary forces of the Lewis machine,
with the assistance of the state
troopers, deputies and coal and iron
police, have started a campaign of
terrorism against the progressive
forces in the mining fields. Mass
meetings and conferences are being
broken up and the miners dubbed
and arrested.
Workers! Come to our aid. This
fight is your fight also! Without the
aid of the entire working class we are
doomed to fail. We promise you that
nothing will stop US to bring this
struggle to a successful conclusion.
You must give us your support. We
need funds at once.

Today is the last day allowed by the ulti-
matum of creditors under the terms of which
these creditors refuse to continue the me-
chanical production Of The DAILY WORKER

before tonight.

sage was again delivered from these credi-
tors who insist on an answer to the question
whether this is to be the last issue of The
DAILY WORKER.
Our reply is: No! This is not going to be
the last issue of The DAILY WORKER. The
splendid response, of the militant workers de-
termined to save their revolutionary paper
must be successful. The DAILY WORKER
must live and fight.
We have come within less than $500 of the
total of $4,000 which we are obliged to have
raised before the end of this day.
The receipts of the campaign up to last

Decline Of Elouuence

Bronco-busting is not more difficult than
breaking some wild orators to the radio They
keep pulling away from the microphone as an
intractable horse fights shy Of the Bit They
prance up and down the platform wasting their
eloquence on the few within sight, and are
dumb to the millions who may compose the
invisible audience.
So it is good news that those planning the
radio features of the next presidential cam
paign have already devised standardized cor.
ral or fenced enclosure for microphone speak
ers. Bryan, at the last Democratic national
convention, demonstrated that chalk line was
not enough.
The transformation which radio has wrought
in political campaigning has been the subject
of frequent comment Not so much has been
said about its effect on orators and oratory.
Harding resorted to the radio in his campaign,
but to little advantage.
Not only does radio restrict the orators
movements and put curb on his gestures, but
it leads him to modulate his voice. If he does
not talk in an even tone, his invisible audience
catches only a few snatches between what
seem to be alternating fading and static.
One thing the radio speaker must not be is
an orator. infections Of the voice are disas-
trous. So if radio is the controlling factor,
oratory of the future will be reduced to the
monotones Of the travel lecturer and a speaker
will be Judged by what he says, not by how he
says it. Reason, not eloquence, sways the ra-
dlo audience, for which rationalists are thank
full.

EAT LESS AND LIVE LONGER

EAT LESS AND LIVE LONGER
It is significant fact that health
officers do not allow physicians to
use the words "old age" as the cause
Of death on a death certificate. Sucl,
words as apoplexy, myocarditis, par
alysis, Bright's Disease, diabetes,
ETC., must be used to describe the
condition Of the patient at death, as
the health officer does not recog-
nize the word "age" as a sufficient
cause for death.
While no one dies of old age, they
do die Of dissipation. We all de-
sire to live long, but none Of us want
to be old. While it is probably not
possible to live forever in the spring
time Of youth, the seasons Of life can
certainly be heightened, and we can,
through the summer, autumn and
winter Of age, learn to "grow old
gracefully"
At the present time there is a
man living in England at the age of
1853 years. I noticed in the papers
the other day that he said he was
feeling rather poorly, and attributed
it to the change Of the weather.
Whether or not the weather will be
his downfall remains to be seen, but
he has so far been able to weather"
many storms of life through more
than 100 years longer than the av-
erage life at the present time. But
you can rest assured that this man,
whom II have never seen, is not
overweight, neither has he been u
hard worker during his life. He
may have used tobacco every day of
his adult life, but he could not have
reached such an advanced age if he
had been a glutton.
Overeating of even the best food
must be cited as the principal cause
Of growing old too quickly. Those
who wish to grow into the glorious
maturity Of age can never do so if
they make the great error of gor-
mandizing, and making an idol Of
their stomach.

Dietitians too often make the mis-
take Of urging people to use larger
quantity Of food than that to which
they have been accustomed, under
the mistaken idea that gaining
weight will also make them gain in
strength and increase their health,
whereas, the truth is that if you
wish to stay young longer you must
stop doing those things which inter-
fere with health, and in this regard,
it is usually necessary for you to cut
down your food supply to one-third
or one-half Of that which you have
been using.

arrangements for their care have to
be made outside the home. Board
