FEAR EXPOSURE
BY PROCRESSIvES
Miners Wives Challenge
Reactionaries
BY JACK RODGERS.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. 26.-
Several auto loads of the state con-
stabulary cooperating with fifty or
sixty henchmen of P. T. Pagan, the
reactionary president of District Of
the United Mine Workers last night
broke up a meeting in Mollenauer
which was called by the women of
the striking miners to discuss mat
ters affecting the strike and particu-
larly ways and means of providing
relief for the destitute families of the
striking coal diggers.
When Caroline Drew of the Penn
sylvania-Ohio Miners Relief Com
mittee who was invited by the min
ers' wives to address the meeting ar
rived in Mollenauer she was met at
the car stop by representatives of the
women who informed her that an or
ganizer by the name of Higgins, a
cousin of Fagan's, was present with
a gang of supporters with the object
Of preventing a meeting from being
held.
Denouncing Progressives.
A large crowd composed of Hig-
gins followers stood in the darkness
outside the store over which the meet
ing hall is located. There were also
present two truck loads of miners
from Coverdale who came to the meet
ing, they said, to find out how many
of the local miners were specially
favored by Higgins and the reaction
airy machine in the matter of relief.
Gang leaders of the Pagan machine
could be heard denouncing John
Brophy, Powers Hapgood and other
progressive leaders in the miners
union.
Organizer Higgins peremptorily or
dered the Coverdale miners to return
to their homes and said that there
would be no meeting. The state

$4,000 Workers Vote on
Wage Cut Issue

BOSTON. Jan. 26. - Widespread
strike sentiment which threatens
every day to break out in a state
wide if not countrywide textile walk
out is seen here in the rising wave OF
sporadic strikes which is rapidly pass
ing over New England.
More than eighty cotton textile and
woolen mills, employing over 100000
workers, have already reduced wages,
according to an estimate made here
today. Over a score of strikes cover
ing every part Of New England are
now in progress. Over $4,000 work
ers are voting, or about to vote on
strike action, the survey shows.
More than 10000 textile workers
in Fall River alone are today to de-
eide on whether to accept a ten per
cent wage cut recently handed out to
them. Fear is being expressed by the
rank and file that union officials may
find a way to prevent militant action
by the men. The unions control only
small section of the better paid
employees. Workers in this city are
particularly enraged at the hint given
out by the Fall River Cotton Manu-
facturers' Association that there viii
be no steady work, a move which is
interpreted as weapon held over the
workers to force capitulation. Several
thousand workers are already on
strike.
Textile and woolen mills of Provi-
dence likewise find themselves facing
the rising indignation of their en-
plcyes. Over thousand are out al
though no official strike action has
been taken. The Weybosset Mill of

SHOE STRIKERS
WIN CONCESSION
Wage Slash Eliminated
by Decision,

HAVERHILL, Mass, Jan. 90
Shoe factories completely tied up by
strike. A citizens committee of seven
after meeting with the representa-
tives of the employers and the work
ers here, to-day made the recon-
mendations that the heavy wage cut
decided upon by the arbitration board
shall not be enforced. The recon-
mendations will be voted on by the
strikers at several mass meetings to
be held tomorrow.
The committee recommended that
the 5000 striking shoe workers re-
turn to their benches and to continue
being paid on the 1927 wage scale.
This means that the wage cut of from
10 to 35 per cent decided upon by an
arbitration board shall not be in eff
feet. They said however, that COM
mittee of six, three from the workers
and three from the bosses will meet
to make permanent arrangements.

arrested Tuesday morning and taken

The first sign that the United
States government was preparing to
deport Kobel was seen when he was
visited by federal detective in the
beginning of November. He was
questioned minutely about the issue
of "Uus lin" containing the articles
about the murder of Sacco and Van

Kobel on two other occasions shortly
thereafter. Among the questions he
asked was one as to when the Com

HALT Sewer QUIZ,

Max D. Steuer, high-priced trial
lawyer, yesterday spent nearly an
hour trying to convince the full bench
of the appellate division of the su-
preme court that Justice Townsend
Scudder should be prevented from
continuing the investigation into the
S29, 100000 sewer frauds in Queens.
Steuer represented Maurice Con-
molly, borough president of Queens,
who is charged with having garnered
the lions share of the cash realized
from graft involved in the building of
the sewers. The lawyer based his
argument on the fact that Scudder
has been examining witnesses in a

LAUNCH ATTACK
ON LABOR LAWS

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 26.-The
wholesale attack against labor legis-
lation which has been predicted for
several months was launched here
yesterday in the form of bill intro
duced in the state legislature by AS
semblyman Jencks of Broome county.
Party Program.
Jencks, republican, is believed to
be carrying out the official policy Of
his party machine which is controlled
by the manufacturing interests of the
state. His bill would provide that all
restrictions as to hours, night work
and other provisions should be made
the same for women as for men. The
result of the bill if carried, will be
to revoke the conditional 4S-hour law
enacted last year and all other such
restrictive legislation for women.
Another bill purporting to be drawn
up in the interests of labor likewise
eminates from the republican camp.
Republican Assemblyman Louis Lef-
kowitz. carrying out the instructions
of republican chairman of New York
county, Samuel Koenig, has intro
duced a bill which would declare
against public policy" and void any
agreement drawn up between work.
ers and their employer if under its
provisions either party agrees not to
join or remain a member of a labor
union or employers association.
If passed, this law, it is believed
will have the effect of enabling en-
ployers, members Of associations, to
break their agreements with labor
unions.
