WOMEN WORKERS
MUST ORGANIZE
Women Play Great Role
in Struggles of Labor
BY KATE GITLoW

international Women's Day is the
day on which the class conscious
workers the world over are reminded
that the working women are a part
of the working class and that they
must emerge from long years of
forced backwardness, that they must
be organized and educated to take
their place as workers side by side
with the men workers in the class
struggle.
The year 1927 was year Of great
struggles on the part of the left and
progressive workers in the United
States. The reactionary labor bur-
eaucrats, together with the yellow So
cialists and the bosses and govern
mental powers, have carried on a
steady war against the left and pro-
gressive workers.
The continuous strikes and lockouts
of coal miners in West Virginia, Penn
sylvania and Ohio have resulted in a
continuous struggle on the part of
these miners to save their union.
In all these strikes and struggles
of the left and progressive workers
against the bureaucrats in the labor
movement women have played a
great role. During the year 1927
we saw the wives of the workers on
the picket line, being beaten, arrested
and thrown into Jail together with
the men workers.
In the struggle of the coal miners,
the miners wives and the proletarian
women from the factory and the
home, are standing side by side with
the miners, bravely meeting the fire
of capitalist brutality which is so
we'll known in the history of the coal
miners struggles. The proletarian
miners struggles. The women

TERMS
IMPOSED ON 5
COAL DICCERS
Guilty" of Injunction
Violations

COLUMBUS, O., Mar. Am
thony P. Minerich, chairman of the
Pennsylvania Ohio Miners Relief
Committee, together with seven other
miners were today held guilty of vio-
lating federal injunction and SEN
fenced to serve Jail terms.
Judge Benson w. Hough who SEN
fenced the miners is the father of
the ipjunctions issued against picket
ing and other strike activities.
Minerich received 45 days in the
Muskingum County Jail. The others
drew 80 days with the exception of
John Karlich, IS, who received five
days, because of his youth. The six
are Alex Felzan, Andy Lidarik, Steve
Vohanck, Louis Mozi, Joe Kuri and
John Oboza.
Mass Violations Urged
Minerich did not deny that he had
urged mass violations of the injunc-
tions which are being issued by gov
ernment officials at the demand of
the operators.
"The miners" Minerich stated,
should put hundreds and if possible
thousands of men on the picket lines.
Mass violations of the injunctions
which are being used in the attempt
to destroy the miners union will win
for us against the combined efforts
Of the mine owners and the Lewis
machine"
Judge Hough refused to allow Mrs.
Dora Backman, who appeared for
Minerich, to represent the seven
other miners. They were represented
by Judge Nichols, who declared that
he had been retained by the United
Mine Workers. The union. Nichols
maintained, was desirous of cooper
ating with the court. He said the
officials of the U.MW.A. do not con-
done violation of injunctions.
Nichols made little effort to save
his clients from prison.
Charles P. White, United States
marshal, and Col. Caldwell, of the
Ohio National guard were the main
witnesses aginst Minerich.
Minerich was arrested while ad-
dressing a meeting of striking min
ers in Hausing, O., Feb. II, by deputy
federal marshals and taken to

where he was released on $1,000 bail

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, March 2.--
That the Lewis-Cappelini machine of
betrayal and murder is beginning to
crumble and totter has become clear
from a number of developments
which have followed the recent mur-
der of Alex Campbell and Peter
Reilly, two militant mine leaders.
The rising resentment of the min
ers has broken in virtual thunder
storm against the machine and its
henchmen. Rinaldo Cappelini is on
the point of resigning, it is believed.
"If the rank and file feels that can
do better outside" he has stated, "it
will be for them to replace me-"
Cappelini VIII Col
Several hours previously he had
announced that he would not quit. Il
is believed here that he is really
through but is stalling for time in
order to permit the Lewis machine to
out over a scheme on the progress
ives.
At a meeting of the Hudson Coal
Company Colliery Local, it was OPEN
" told to opposition leaders that the
district is on the rocks and in a crisis;
that it is only matter of few
weeks until Cappelini will resign.
This is taken by the progressives
to mean that the Lewis machine will
maneuver to put in Cappelini's place

Women's Day is upon US. What can
it be but a grand settling of accounts
on the part of enormous masses of
women, with the social world which
decides their veal and woe, but also
settling of accounts with them

tions which these masses of women
want answered, be they employed in
factories, shops and offices, be they
tilling the ground by the sweat of
their brow or working from morning
till night in their households. What

Demand Meeting For
General Strike Call

Spontaneous walkouts of scores of
workers which may at any moment
result in the mass uprising of the
10000 New York traction men in the
greatest transit tie-up in the city's
history were beginning to take place
last night as workers leaving their
night runs indicated their disgust at
the inflow of strike-breakers and
their intention not to report back to
work today.
While both the Interborough and
the officials Of the Amalgamated
union have been seeking to keep the
information from spreading have not
given out the news. 1t was learned
that nearly a hundred motormen had
already entered upon the Creeping
strike" About a score of shop men
leaving the 147th st. and Lenox ave
shops yesterday between four thirty
and five o'clock, announced that they
would not report back to work in
the same headquarters in which near
ly a thousand scabs, gunmen, profess
sional finks and company stool
pigeons were being housed.
Ready For Action
These workers indicated at the
same time that practically the entire
shop is in the mood for action and is
waiting only for the moment which
will seem best suited for the 1000
walkout. One of the interesting
things about the present creeping
strike" is the fact that the workers
have begun to take matters into
their own hands without waiting for
the formal word to go out,
Information secured from private
sources among the signalmen while
showing that only a handful of these
workers have joined the strike like
wise indicate that they are in the
mood to act.
The most dramatic information
came from source in the East 74th
st. power house. It was reported that
the large section Of Spanish workers
employed here were about 20 go out
in a body late yesterday afternoon
but were restrained for another day
in the expectation that the Amalga-
mated union officials would call the
strike officially.

The opinion of the workers every
where is that a general strike is in
evitable and that the present man.
