No sir, its tough race. The Demo-

but they got money, which its better
to have than good Candidate. When
there IS money in an election its al

New York sure is ready to go the limit

its pretty noticeable the difference in
the sentiment. So if you get big oods
either way take em, and don't vote for

Young Workers League
Offers to Deb a tie ON
Capitalist Democracy"

A challenge to debate the question
of democracy of the respective gov
ernments of the United States and
the Soviet Union has been made to
the Bronx Free Fellowship by the
Lower Bronx Unit, Young Workers
(Communist) League, Sam Garrison,
agltation-propaganda director of the
League, announced yesterday.
The communication sent to DIR.
Leon Rosser Land, director of the
Fellowship, suggests the following
subjects:
is democracy suitable for today?"
Resolved, that the United States is
more democratic than. Soviet Russia"
Resolved, there is a democratic
government in the United States to-
day."
Can there be peace under capital
ism ?"
AS they stand now, we, of course,
will take the negative on all the ques-
tions," the letter adds.

Brophy continued the story of
Lewis misleadership, showing how
his 1922 policies are applied in I'LL
nois today, where he signs up some
districts and uses them as strike
breakers on the others. The three
years of peace before the present
strike were used by the operators to
perfect their organization and install
labor saving machinery agains t
which tactics Lewis did nothing. He
does not fight for the six-hour day
to give men jobs, he struggles for the
elimination from the industry of
$50 coo men.
"Where will they go?" asks Bro
ply. "In steel, reducing it's forces,
in textiles, with its stagnation and
wage cuts, in automobile industry,
overcrowded already?"
Brophy charged the union bureau
crazy with insincerity in its slogan,
Slight Injunctions," for it never fights
them and expels those who wish to.
off our union is to be saved" de-
clared Brophy, at will not be done by
senate investigations. The senate will
never organize the unorganized, and
that is our key problem"
"The other problems are: How to
make the union more powerful where
organized, how to make it effective,
how to establish it one hundred per
cent in the mining industry.
"The strike must be won. April |
gives US the best chance. The pro-
gressives have the leadership more
and more. Their program will be &C
cepted by the miners. New hopes and
illusions will not do. But carrying
the fight into the non-union fields will
win and we welcome Illinois and the
ether signed up territories back into
the struggle"

New York Loan Sharks
Are Growing BOlder

The investigation of loan sharks and
the bleeding of workers through usur-
ious interest rates has resulted in the
arrest of four men on warrants issued
by Chief Magistrate McAdoo. They
have been released on $500 bail each
for hearing next Tuesday. The
charge is violating the state banking
law by charging usurious interest on
loans.
The four are Louis Oppenheim,
Alexander Herman, Jack Romer and
Abraham Schochet.
Morris Self, of the Moses Credit
Corporation, who was indicted with
that concern for fraudulent use of the
mails in connection with money-lend-
ing activities, pleaded not guilty be-
fore Federal Judge Henry w. God
dard and was held in $4,000 bail for
trial.

New APPEAL FOR
MINERS RELIEF
Penn-Ohio Committee
Shows Great Need

PITTSBURGH, April Am APP
peal for redoubled activities for
miners relief was today sent out by
the Pennsylvania-Ohio Miners Relief
Committee, Gil Penn Ave.
Calling attention to the increase in
the ranks of striking miners of sew
eral hundred thousand during the past
week and pointing to the further GER
tainty that 100000 will go out IN the
coke regions on April 16, as we'll as
the approach of an anthracite strike,
the relief committee urged all who
are interested in the winning of the
miners strike to respond.
The Right Arm.
"Relief is the right arm of the
striking miners forces" the state
nent declares. ~The most intensive
and immediate efforts must now be
launched to multiply our activities.
The great Pittsburgh Conference just
adjourned has taken note of the
urgency of relief work. Our committee
was endorsed by the conference and
to us this is the starting point for
even greater efforts than we have put
forth in the past.
"All those who understand the
meaning Of present events in the la
Dor movement, all those who wish to
see the miners strike brought to a
victorious conclusion, all those who
are moved by the struggle of labor
should respond to the present call. All
contributions and other assistance
should be sent to GIL Penn Ave-,

and Iron Co., the Rockefeller concern.
1t is considered possible that the re-
dictionary officials are working indi-
rectly with the operators to ward off
the rising tide of militancy which is
sweeping over the Colorado mine
fields.
Considerable interest has been
aroused over the activities of the Save
the Union Committee now holding a
conference at Pittsburgh. Delegates
have been sent by the Colorado min
ers. In spite of the fact that the
Colorado miners have been forced into
independent unions they have ex-
pressed their willingness to join with
the national movement.

to strike, which do not include the
four coke counties. The organizers
in their tour will include Midlands
and Houston where hundreds of min
ers struck April l..
The organization of relief and the
broadening of these activities received
the first consideration of the meet
ing. A detailed plan for modifying
the whole labor movement behind the
miners relief will be worked out.
Immediately on the program of the
committee IS the organization of the
coke counties strike, Westmoreland,
Fayette, Greene and Somerset. An
army Of speakers will tour these
fields and stage mass meetings in
every section and district
Another decision of the meeting
was to fight all explosions of mill
tants and place the case of any such
before the rank and file of the min
ers who have already indicated that
they will support the leadership and
program of the Save-TheUnion Com
mittee. The local unions are called
upon to refuse to recognize such eX-
pulsions, TO demand district conven-
tions for the election of represent
ative officers and in those cases where
the district officials refuse to call
these conventions the rank and file
is to call them and to elect its own
officers.

Two More Bombs Liven
Up Chicago Elections

CHICAGO, April 1.-Two more
powerful bomb explosions rocked out
lying districts of Chicago today. The
first one detonated over the Auburn
Park Highlands District shortly be-.
fore dawn and sent hundreds of terror
stricken residents tumbling from their
beds to the accompaniment Of shat
tering window panes.
1t was exploded in a vacant store
room next door to shoe repair shop.
The second blast was set off in the
doorway of restaurant on South
Kedzie Avenue. Joseph Klak, owner
and democratic ward leader, lived
overhead. He and his family were
thrown from their beds, but all es-
caped serious injury.

Sentiment Is Strong for

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April (By
MaiD.-The greatest delegate confer
ence ever organized in American la
Dor movement met in Labor Lyceum
Hall, Pittsburgh. The 1,125 represen-
tatives Of local unions and whole coun-
ties of the unorganized were called to
order by John W. Watt of Springfield,
in the name of the Save-the- Union
Committee. For nine glorious hours
the first days meeting lasted, during
which miner after miner rose and
voiced the Indignation against the
rotten Lewis bureaucracy that had
been stifled in international conven-
tions, in district conventions, in sub
district conventions, and even in To-
cal meetings for years.
Filled Hall.
Delegates occupying every seat,
standing in all the aisles, overlooking
the visitors gallery, surging in the
hallway outside the doors, with more
and more delegations appearing to the
surprise of the credentials commit
tee, which knew they were on their
way but never expected they would
get here, because Of the broken down
cars of miners who cannot afford re-
pairs, and the snow and rain storms
sweeping Pennsylvania during the
last two days.
Before actually meeting, the dele
gates had done the main task for
which they came together They had
given the assent of the masses they
represent to the program Of the Ma
tional Save-the- Union Committee, for
the destruction of the Lewis machine
by ejecting Lewis and his official
family and his servile district presi-
dents and all their followers from
their jobs, by holding district conven-
tions with or without the consent of
the machine officials, and election of
real miners and militants to those
positions.
Adopt Program.
The program was adopted by the
executive committee Of the National
Save-the-Miners' Union, body COM
posed of the National Save-the-
Union Committee with delegates rep
resenting the district delegations,
five from each delegation.
The members from each district
met in district sessions and perfected
internal organization also last night
with captains.
With Watt of Springfield elected
to the chair, Toohey, secretary of the
Save-the- Union Committee, elected
secretary Of the conference and Da-
vid Jones of Indiana, assistant secre-
tary, John Brophy was introduced to
report for the National Save-the-
Union Committee.
Brophy launched into long and
careful analysis of the whole situa-
ton, proving with meticulous care
the failure of the John L. Lewis poll
cies as they have been worked out
during the whole period of his admin
istration.
Crisis in Union.
