United States District Court, to in
form him that he, Dohaney, stands
ready to send the militia into the coal
fields to help the coal operators win
the strike and break the union by
sending troops.
Any sensible worker could have seen
this in advance. Though even the
governors milk is not transparent,
still the miner could understand that
in the final showdown, the governor
of the state would rise all the resources
of the state to beat down the miners
There are two sides to the situation,
however. The coal operators gathered
m Cleveland few weeks ago, and de-
clared that they would make no con-
cessions but would fight on to the bit
ter end. Probably they thought they
would demoralize the striking miners,
but there was not furry in their
ranks. The miners, by this time, have
learned that this is a life and death
struggle and everything is at stake
They are preparing for the battle, and
fine, rousing meetings that have beer
held by the Progressives in Dillonville

the battle lines are being drawn up.

The Young Communist League Of the
U.SSR. Strengthens the Red Army

ing that there are 10000 Young
Communists in the army consisting
of a little over 100000. The extent
of Young Communist influence among
non-Party Red soldiers may be seer
from the fact that $4,000 applications
have been made for Y.C.L member
ship in the course of liz years.
The Young Communists constitute
40 per cent of the students in the
military schools which train future
Red officers.

Defensive Work.
The defensive work now carried on
by the Y.C.L. among the broad sec

following main streams:
(a) Participation in the work

Governor Vic Donahey, of Ohio, the
so-called popular" governor, the man
with sense and reason governing him,
has shown himself to be the same tool
of the bosses as all others.
On Feb. 81 Donahey announced to
purported committee of st. Claire
vile miners that at is your right. as
it is the right of every citizen of Ohio
to be permitted to make his livelihood
in any legal manner he may desire,
and you are entitled to the aid of all
peace enforcement agencies Il you are
denied that right"
Dohaney admits that officers of the
National Guard of Ohio have been in
the Ohio coal fields and kept the gov
ernor fully informed of the situation
This same Governor Dohaney some
weeks ago started campaign for the
relief of the striking miners and par
ticularly their children. Up to the
present, no more than $4,000 has been
gathered, although Delaney used
every agency in order to reach the
ears of the public. However, he used
the armories for gathering relief and
the National Guard for disbursing it.
"A milk bottle in one hand and rifle
in the other"
Delaney thought he could demon
strate his humanity on the one hand,
and also believed that the striking
miners would forget that the milk for
their children was brought them by
the same National Guardsmen who
would be prepared to shoot them
down.
The miners of Ohio are beginning
to demonstrate that they have little
regard for the scab. If, up to short
time ago, they did not show sufficient
militancy and willingness to fight, to-
day, with the "Save the Union" COM
mittees leading in the fight for win

Gus mine union officials, they are be-

is really revolutionary class, be re-
conciled to such shameful role [i.e.,
merely demanding disarmament
They will tell their sons: You will
soon be big. You will be given arms.
Take them and learn how to use them
well. This knowledge is necessary to
the proletarians not in order to use
them against their brothers, the
workers of other countries, as this is
done in the present Ii. e., imperialistl
war, and as the Socialist traitors tell
you to do, but in order to fight
against the bourgeoisie of their own
countries, in order to put an end to
exploitation, poverty and war, not
with good wishes, but by defeating
and disarming the bourgeoisie."
This lesson, taught by our leader,
has been realized over one-sixth of
the globe. The rest of the workers
of the world are also learning.

The Young Communists in the army
and navy organize their own groups
to assist the party in its political
work among it's own ranks and among
non-Party soldiers. The Young Com
munists are, together with the Com
munists, the model Red soldiers in
the army and constitute the most re-
liable skeleton in it, guaranteeing its
political and moral soundness, and it's
devotion to the interests of the pro-
letariat and the poor and middle class
peasants. They help in training the
soldiers and instituting discipline in
the Red Army. They help to make
the Red Army powerful instrument
of the proletarian dictatorship. Be-
sides, the Y.C.L. constitutes in the
Red Army the principal reserve for
the Party organizations. The Y. C.
Leaguers are the most active ele-
ments in the political-educationa
work of the army. The most adj
vanced Young Communists lead polit-
ical circles in it. They take active
part in the issuing of wall-news-
papers and are active elements in the
social organizations in the army

miners are not getting a single penny
of relief from the union. Recently;
together with their wives, they went
to East Liverpool, to the charity So
cieties, and asked for help. This is
the aid that the miners are getting
from their union and the proud Ex-
ecutive Council Of the A. F. Of L.,
which can think of nothing better to
do than to fight for an injunction bill,
which will recognize the right of ap-
plying iniunctions, but will be direct
ed against the "abuse" of iniunctions!
AS absurd as the fight for the Clay
ton law, which even the A. F. of L..
RECOGNIZES as scrap of papei!
While William Green and Matthew
Woll are in Washington lobbying on
this bill and attending the American
Bar Associations conference on "no
strikes" the miners of Pennsylvania
and Ohio are on the REAL battle
line FIGHTING in the only manner
that will bring them victory and an
end of injunctions. They are against,
not only the "abuse" of injunctions,
but against the right of the employ
crs to the use Of injunctions alto
gether. There is only one way to
smash this right and that is to DEFY
the right and the injunction at the
same time.
The scabs at the Crabapple mine
near st. Clairsville and the rest of
the strikebreakers in the strike area
may believe that they are perfectly
safe. Masses of union miners are
being reused to the seriousness of
the situation. The Left Wing Is on
the march; they are engaging in
mass picketipg. The rifle of the Ma
tional Guard will take the place of
the milk bottle. But not even the
rifle will brighten the miners. To
return to work on the conditions that
the coal operators demand is to go
back to hunger. The miners are de-
termined that this condition shall be
a thing of the past, and they are
fighting. The Pennsylvania Ohio
Miners Relief Committee is keeping
them on the firing line. The rank
and file all over the country is re-
spending to the call of the battling
miners. The battle will be won-de-

CALL STRIKE

Expect General Walk
Out Today

NEW HAVEN, Conn, June "a
Trolley workers thruout the state of
Connecticut were ready to walk out on
general strike at midnight last night.
In spite of the efforts of the federal
commissioner to delay strike action,
the spirit of the trolley workers is
militant and they had maintained their
determination to strike until late
hour last night.
Refusal of the company to recog-
nize the union or to grant wage in
creases has Infatuated the men, in spite
of the statement of J. H. Reardon,
head of the executive board, that the
men are fighting solely for the right
Of employees to arbitrate in all major
disputes.
The union has already set up relief
headquarters and is prepared to care
for hundreds of the strikers and their
families.
1t is known that the company has
been hiring strikebreakers for the
emergency for some time but their
whereabout in city have been kept a
profound secret. The strikers are
frankly sceptical. that the company
can maintain the efficient and ade-
quate service" which they are promis-
ing their patrons.
The District Executive Committee
of the Workers Party of America has
ISSUED an appeal to the trolley work
ers which says in part:
"The Connecticut Company, Sub
sidiary of the N. Y. N. H. g. H. R. R
concern of Wall Street, is making
every effort to break your Union.
"Your Union is an instrument in

N. Y. Workers Launch
Campaign Today

This morning thousands of New
York workers will launch an inten-
sive drive for the relief of the strik
ing soft-coal miners and their Deepen
dents throughout half dozen states.
For the past two weeks preparations
have been going on, under the aus
pieces of the National Miners Relief
Committee of 799 Broadway. The
drive will last from this morning to
next Sunday, and Will include house
toulouse collections, special relief
meetings by workers organizations,
open-air meetings which will empha-
size the Importance of miners relief
to New York workers, and will wind
up with mass collection on Satur-
cay and Sunday.
The striking, heroic miners, now in
their 18th month Of resistance to the
open shop onslaught of the coal OPP
orators, rely on the solidarity and
support of other workers TO help them
win their long and bitter battle.
Workers of New York, recognizing
the grave consequences to the rest of
organized labor should the miners lose
their fight, are determined to expend
every energy and make every sacri-
flee to help their valiant brothers of
the mines win.
The National Miners Relief Com
mittee calls on every worker in the
shop and factory to do all he can to
further the cause of the striking min
ers. Workers are urged to take up
collections in their shops among their
shopmates and wherever possible, to
form shop committees for miners re-
lief for the purpose of taking such
collections regularly. The Relief Com
