shooting of Grecio. The "Save-the-
Union" conference adopted strong
resolution calling upon all miners to
unite to end the murder campaign
against the militant workers, and
raised the slogan: "Cappelini Must
Go"
Last nights tragedy caused a
turmoil in the ranks of the United
Mine Workers here. From the Off
GERS down to the humblest union man
there was fear openly expressed that
the shooting up to date are only
the opening guns in a warfare never
before experienced in union circles
here. Statements were made guard

venture a prediction where the pres

whom the members of Local 1903
work, is on good terms with Cappel-

RELIEF MEETING
HEARS REPORTS
Solidarity Resolution
Sent to Strikers


tee, which to date has RENTED over
$4,000 to the strike areas of Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Colorado, and
! shipped $50 cases of clothing. each
weighing about $50 lbs, valued at
approximately s65,0O0. "This," she
said, "is only fair beginning. Much
more remains to be done! The strik-
ing miners of Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Colorado must be made increasingly
aware of the solidarity of labor, Such
Knowledge, backed by steady flow
of relief funds. is the most effective
weapon they have with which to fight
the open-shop onslaught of the en-
ployers!"
Solidarity and Relief.
Several resolutions were offered
and unanimously passed by the body
of delegates One, a resolution on
solidarity and relief, is being sent to
the striking miners. Another, a pro-
test against the use of police brutal
ity, evictions and iniunctions, is be-
ing sent to the president of the United
States, the senate investigating COM
mittee, the governors of Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Colorado, and to the
striking miners of the three states.
The latter resolution includes a de-
mand that the senate investigating
committee include the soft-coal indus
try of Colorado in it's investigations.
A special relief drive to take place
on March End, 3rd and 4th was an
nounced, and volunteers for service
during any or all of those days were
asked to report to the office of the
, Pennsylvania Ohio-C Colorado Miners
Relief Committee, 799 Broadway. This
drive, as result of the vast impetus
to miners relief activity given by
the conference, is expected to net
$4,000.
Calls for Permanent Relief Body.
F. G. Biedenkapp, executive secre-
tary of the Workers International
Relief, spoke on the necessity of q
permanent relief organization in this
country with which many trade
unions and workers organizations
should be affiliated, so that in case
Of strike, relief machinery may at
once be nut into motion on a large
scale. "Such an organization" said
Biedenkapp, would be efficient and
large enough to extend aid to strik-
ors of other countries in times Of
need-thus demonstrating effectively
the international solidarity of all la
Dor. A motion was made, seconded
and passed to the effect that the in
coming executive committee be in
structed by the body of delegates to
seriously consider affiliation of the
organizations present with such an
international relief body-the Work
ers' international Relief.
An enlarged executive committee
was then nominated and elected. The
twenty-sevcn members of it repre-
sent as many trade unions and work
ers' organizations. The meeting was
then adjourned after motion had
been passed that the new executive
committee meet for the first time
within week from the date of the
conference.
BY special motion, all organizations
which desire representation on the
executive committee may obtain such
representation, though trey had not
been represented at the conference,
after their candidacy has been voted
on by the executive committee of
twenty-seven.

Member of Empros Staff
Sentenced

Konstantin Peliris, 23-year-old
member of the staff of Empros, Greek
Communist newspaper, was sentenced
Saturday to 30 days in the workhouse
FOR taking part in demonstration of
Greek workers. The demonstration
was held in protest against the ex-
.cesses of the Greek fascist govern
nent against the workers in Greece.
Magistrate Simpson told Peliris
that he had good mind to put him in
jail for 10 years. The worker was
sentenced solely on the testimony of
Policeman Brown, who severely beat
Peliris without cause when police as
saulted the demonstrators on Thurs
day.
The magistrate told Peliris that if
he wanted to stay in this country he
must respect the flag or face deporta-
ton.
The demonstration Thursday was
held by the Greek members of the In
ternational Labor Defense before SO
ark Row, where the offices of the
Greek consulate general are located.
The demonstrators on Thursday
sent message to Consul-General A.
Machairas, protesting against the
campaign of terror being waged by
the Greek government against the
working classes of Greece.
Hundreds of workers are being
thrown into prison and exiled to dis
tant and deserted island" the protest
says in part. "The deputies of the
united front are under criminal prose-
cutlon and the most elementary rights
Of the workers are denied"
The resolution demands the release
OF the prisoners and "the return of
the constitutional liberties to the work
ing classes"

clared that the failure of banks to
pay their clerks living wage was

without apparently noticing the

Of his listeners. ''no work of art, no

He referred at length to the "sat-

been brought about through the hear
ings. "Only one dissenting voice has
been raised to our proposal. Every
one has agreed to the principle Of

Foster We will be glad to receive
this. view in the form of memoran-

w. Jet Lauck, professional class
collaborationist, testifying earlier,
gave his complete endorsement of the
principle Of the proposal.
The testimony Of Lauck is consid-
cred very significant as he speaks
almost officially for the trade union
bureaucracy. Green and others of the
union officials have for diplomatic"
reasons, it is believed, failed to indi-
cate their full support Of the move,
but the words of Lauck are taken as
the guide to their real position. "The
time is very opportune," Lauck tes-
titled, "and delay is dangerous" The
latter was a reference made after he
had limited that the country was ap-
