miners in district 6 which call for
a wage scale of $500.

said to be in the Hooking Valley,
one in the eastern Ohio district, and
the remainder in Tuscarawas county.
The contract is dated September
1, and terminates March 81, 1880.
1t calls for SIS a day and 10 cents

Rank and file miners and militant
leaders are organizing their forces
for the convention for a new miners
union to be held in Pittsburgh

CITL0W SCORES
TAG DAY THREAT
Urges Workers Defy
Tammany Order

In scathing statement issued
last night from the national cam
paign headquarters of the Work
ers (Communist) Party, 43 E.
125th St.. Benjamin Gitlow, the
Party's vice-presidential candi-
date, denounced the action of the
Tammany police department in
threatening to bar the Red Tag
Days scheduled for today and to-
morrow.
Characterizing the move as
vicious attack by Tammany Hall
upon the Workers Party, and urging
the workers of the city to redouble
their energies in the drive, Gitlow
said:
Bird S. Coler and Police Com
missioner Warren are determined to
prevent the Workers (Communist)
Party from collecting funds from
the workers for the Communist Elec-
tion Campaign. This vicious attack
upon the Workers (Communist)
Party is being made by the Tam
many Hall AL Smith administration
of New York. AL Smith does not
seek campaign contributions from
the workers. He gets his from Mr..
DUPONT, the powder and explosive
king of America. He gets his from
the big fat boys of Wall Street. The
Standard Oil crowd, General Motors,
the power interests, the traction in
terests, the trusts and super-trusts
are out to elect AL Smith. They will
supply millions to elect AL Smith
president. These millions they have
robbed from the sweat and toll of
the workers and poor farmers. They
want to elect Smith to continue the
reign of Wall Street and strike
breaking government. Hoover will
also get millions from the same
crowd for the same purpose. The
millions that will be spent by Wall
Street for election purposes are for
corruption in government, wage
cuts, injunctions, breaking up of
picket lines, jailing of workers,
framing up of innocent workers,
Sacco and Vanzetti executions, and
imperialist world war.

y "Let 'em off; let 'em off, :"

left the train, their places
taken by as many as the guards
could squeeze inside the doors.
With effort, the doors of the

each car was packed 200 or
more people, men and women,
clerks, office workers, profess

ers. The heavy train pulled
out, leaving hundreds of peo-
pie still on the platform, wait
ing for other trains.
Just about a city block be-
yond the end of the platform,
there is a switch on the ex-
press track. The first seven
cars of the train passed swift
sly over it with only the usual
eclack and clatter.
But the eight car, for a reason
which may never be known, in rail-
road parlance "split the switch" and
went hurtling from the track. The
momentum carrier it on. About 100
feet from the switch it smashed
with deafening crash into one Of
the great, steel pillars which sup
port the street above.

COLONIAL ISSUE
AT RED CONGRESS
Indian Delegate Tells
of British Rule

AT World Congress of the Com
munist International now in session
Contreras declared that the main
aim of the Latin American Parties
must be to found a workers and
peasants alliance between Latin
America and the United States. He
said that Humbert Droz's slogan of
Latin-Americanism was dangerous.
The Indians must receive more at
tention, he said. The Communist
Party OF the United States has not
fulfilled its tasks in the anti-imper-
ialist struggle, he declared, and the
Central Committee of the Party is
responsible.
Pepper declared that the funda-
mental line of the theses was cor
rect. India was really agrarian and
dependent on the motherland, he
said. He thought that Bennet's
ideas of decolonization were wrong.
India, he said, has practically only
light industries which cannot trans
form an agrarian into an industrial
country. The transformation was
only possible, he said, by the pro-
duction of the means Of production.
Ninety per cent of British capital
was sent to India, not for industry
but for state loans. The basis for
the revolutionary situation in India,
he continued, is the collision of i'm
perialist capital with the pre-capi-
talist conditions of India. The In
dian bourgeoisie was not completely
