The workers condemn the Trade

has resulted in confusion. Some
workers have resumed work saying

general strike is decided upon. The
scabs are gaining courage from the

Strike Increase; Many
Jailed

LUCKNOW, India, Oct. 21.-The
continuous increase in the militancy
and courage of the Indian workers
resulted in brutal suppression and
persecution of workers and longer
Jail sentences by the British-con-
trolled courts there, as measure to
stem the rising tide of labor mill
fancy. The following incidents in
dictate the new trend of affairs in
the India labor movement:
Fifty-four employees of the East
In d a Railroad have been ar
rested for creating disturbances, and
40 are being prosecuted on charges
of intimidating strikebreakers.
Eighteen railwaymen who laid
themselves across the tracks to pre-
vent train from passing were SEN
fenced to terms of Imprisonment
totaling 112 months.
Another strike, involving 5000
men, later broke out at the Lalguda
locomotive and carriage shops of
the Nizam Guaranteed State Rail-
way. The immediate cause was the
brutal behavior of foreman toward
three shopmen.
This strike was made the occasion
for submitting demands for higher
wages, holidays and free transporta-
ton. After fruitless negotiations,
the finance minister, Sir Akbar Hy-
dari, was able to persuade the stri',-
ers to return to work, and at his
direction the management cancelled
so disciplinary dismissals.

lMANEUVERS OF ARMY
SHOW y. S. LINGO PLANS

With an impressive show of mill
tary strength, notice was yesterday
served on Mexico by the United
States Government that American
power is sufficiently
mighty to take what it wants, when
it wants it.
The notice was served in the form
of huge army maneuvers, admittedly
the greatest ever to be attempted in
times of "peace," in Texas, not far
from the Mexican border. The
staffs of eleven generals of the
United States army, National Guard
and reserve forces will participate
in the hypothetical war problems to
be worked out, nine hundred thous-
and men will be involved in this
"peacetime campaign"
According to preliminary plans,
there will be an invading and de-
Tending army. The tactics of inva-
sion are considered the most i'm
portant, from the viewpoint of an
imperialist power occupying the posi-
ton the U. S. occupies with relation
to its southern neighbors.
This sudden major operation of
American forces in significant prox-
unity to the Mexican border is seen
by followers of the situation as a
firm gesture inspired by the House
of Morgan to indicate that the mill
ions of dollars invested by American
Big Business in oil wells and other

j
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (By MaiD.
AT a meeting held last Friday in
Hazleton and Saturday in Wilkes
Barre, the so-called insurgents lead
ers exposed themselves as an I'M
principled, job-see6ing combination.
These joint meetings. held between
the National Miners Union forces
end those of the McGarry group,
Barre, the so-called insurgent lead
ing progressives from Districts 1
and 7, were called to bring about
unity between the two anti-Lewis
groups in the Anthracite. The meet
ings naturally lead to one conclu-
sion: declaration of war against
the takers who are trying to secure
fat jobs for themselves by the or
sanization of a separate union.
For several weeks the McGarry
group, after its expulsion by John
L. Lewis from the United Mine
Workers, tried to make inroads
among the progressive locals. They
went to them, one after the other,
in order to win them over to the
separate union. When the miners,
who are in sympathy with the Ma
tional Miners Union, asked them,
why separate union and why not
join with the bituminous miners, the
Insurgents replied that there is no
difference between the two pro-
grams and that they are ready to
work hand in hand with the Ma
tional Miners Union.
Mine Leaders Speak.
1IsShile it should have been clear
o. everybody that this was nothing
but a gesture, a meeting was ar
ranged at Hazleton to carry on ne
gotiations with the purpose of ex-
pesmg them. At this meeting, the
fire leading lights of the McGarry
group participated and over twenty
leading militants from District 7.
The National Miners Union was rep
resented by Thomas Myerscough,
James Daily and several leading left
wingers from Districts 1 and 7.
When discussing the program and
policy of the N.M.U., McGarry, Har-
ris, Hermanson, Gallagher and Hog
an were forced to admit that this
is the only good program for the
miners and that they were in full
agreement with it. There was dis
agreement on one question only: the
salary Of officials. The budget of
the Anthracite Mine Workers of
Pennsylvania" CcGarry's outfit,
calls for the creation of over 40 fat
Jobs, with salaries of $500 and ex-
penses. The wages of the N.M.U.
officials, however, cannot be higher
than the average earning of a mine
worker. This was too much for the
McGarryites!
They protested against the prin-
ciple most vehemently. I'VE accept
everything you have to offer, but
the wages. You must pay for the
brains" was their argument. And
here the discussion ended. The pro-
Eressives who came in to listen to
the argument could see with their
own eyes, that the separate union,
if it will ever be organized, will be
but a dinner pail and McGarry's
machine will be no better than the
enc built by Boylan or John L. Lew
is.
