NEW MINE
bsttN sept. 8 AT
PITTSBURGH, PA.
Committee Warns That
Vital Meet Is Only
Week Away
Must Stop Lewis Dues

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. g.
With the day only one week away
when the rank and file coal miners
from every mining region of the
United States will send delegates to
Pittsburgh to participate in a con-
vention for the purpose of building
new miners union in place of the
,wreckage of the United Mine Work
ers left by John L. Lewis and his
machine, the National Miners Ar
rangement Committee has issued the
following appeal:
THE most important task before
you at this moment is to elect dele
gates to the National Miners Con-
vention to be held in Pittsburgh,
Pa, Sept. GIG, 1928.
"Only one week remains until this
important convention takes place.
snake it your duty to have your
local union represented! Hold your
local union meeting, get into action
today!
"On to the National Miners Con-
vention! Build a new, powerful,
honest and militant national miners
union.
Break with Lewis Machine.
"Sept. 8 will mark a new mile
stone in the history of the American
coal miners. We will break away
from the betrayers of our many
strikes, from the tools of the oper-
ators who have smashed our once
powerful organization district by
district. We will break with the
contemplate and criminally corrupt
Lewis machine, that has just COM
pleted the most vicious betrayal of
all-the abandonment of the Jack
sonville Scale, the surrender of the
National Agreement, and instructing
each district to go to The operators
and beg for what pittancs they can
get.
"The United Mine Workers of
America was once strong, power
full organization. Today it consists
of nothing but the corrupt Lewis
machine and handful of support
ers. Even Lewis will soon turn his
back upon it. To save his big salary
he is now trying to have the coal
operators join him in traitorous
company union scheme, to secure the
check-off as the rake-off for the
Lewis machine.
"Stop paying dues to the Lewis
machine! Why pay dues to those

Arrest 3 Organizers of
New Coal Mine Union

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. g.
The organization of the unorganized
miners is going ahead so rapidly,
that the operators are becoming
seriously alarmed. In many com
pany- owned towns, children are paid
to be on the watchout for strangers
who might be progressive organi-
zers. Although the quarters and
dimes look good to the youngsters,
they have learned that such spying
is traitorous to their fathers and
brothers, and refuse to do this dirty
work. The yellow Dogs" are on
the watch, though.
Three organizers for the New
Union were arrested for trespassing
on company property when they
visited miners homes in a company
town in Westmoreland County, and
taken before Greensburg court.

R. R. MISLEADERS
MAY HALT STRIKE
10000 Workers Are
for Walk-out.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-Despite the
fact that an overwhelming majority
of the 10000 railroad trainmen on
Western roads are expected to vote
for walkout in the vote being
counted here today, A. F. Whitney,
head of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, and other reactionary
union officials announced their de-
termination to resort to drastic ac-
ton to avert strike. A mediation
plan agreed upon by the union mis-
leaders and the federal mediation
board will be the weapon of the
labor officials in preventing the
strike desired by the workers, who
are seeking a wage increase and
better working conditions.

YOUTH CONGRESS
TASKS
Plans Now for Under
ground Organizations

Special Cable to The Daily Worker
MOSCOW, Sept. 2.-Concentrat-
ing on the present situation of the
working youth throughout the world,
and laying special emphasis on the
tasks of the Young Communist In
ternational, the third plenary ses-
sion of the Y. c. l. opened here yes
terday under the chairmanship of
Mehring.
Gorkitch made the report for the
Executive Committee of the Young
Communist International on the or
ganizational situation. He said:
Greek, Swedish Leagues Strong.
aThe Yonug Communist Leagues
of Sweden and Greece are the only
ones that are growing steadily. The
membership of the large leagues in
various countries are at stand
still, and the small leagues are dim
inishing. Illegal leagues are max
ing fine progress in spite Of their
subjection TO the white terror.
"The Young Communist Leagues
strength, compared to the strength
of the Communist Parties, is insult
ficient, with the exception of the
Swedish league, which makes up 81
percent of the Swedish Party's
strength. The Young Communist
Leagues in capitalist countries are
not yet mass organizations.
New Leagues Formed.
"The following new leagues have
been formed since the Fourth World
Congress of the Young Communist
International: Australia, Palestine,
South Africa, Indonesia, Persia,
Honduras, San Salvador, and India.
One of the most important links is
the formation of Leagues in Cen
trail and South America.
"The children's movement is pro-
crossing. Twelve new organiza-
tions have been formed since the
last Congress. Individual countries,
however, are losing in membership
as a result of wrong methods. The

'Kiangsi.
The spread of Communism
to the entire Sixth Army is re-
ported to have given an ac-
celeration to the advance of the
Worker-Peasant forces which
cannot be overestimated.
Soviets Established.
Nanchang lies directly in the path
of the advancing Worker-Peasant
troops and its capture by the armies
is believed to be question of days
only.
Reports from the interior confirm
the rumors that the Khan and
Yunghsin districts, the most fertile
in the province, have elected local
governments and are proceeding
with the distribution of land inn
mediately.
Land Distributed.
Three mou of farm land is the
maximum distributed to all male
peasants between the ages of Is and
40 according to reports reaching
here. The mou is equal to about
one-fifth of an acre.
: AS the armies advance increasing
forces of peasantry are being lib
Grated by the Interior Soviets and
the newly recruited forces are said
to be among the staunchest sup
porters of the workers and pea
SAINTS government.
The entire northern frontier of the
Honan and Kiangsi provinces are
protected by natural formations, and
the poor roads make the advance of
the counter-revolutionary Marking
armies a difficult task involving
weeks. This has given rise to the
belief here that Nanchang and sew
eral other towns will have fallen be-
fore the invasion from Peking be-
comes menacing.

RED TICKET WILL
Be ON BALLOT IN
CENTRAL STATES
Stachel Returns From
Tour; Reports On
Progress
Great Enthusiasm"

The great mid-western states-in
which some of the biggest industries
of the country are located, great
mining communities and centers of
transportation-will be on the Com
munist ballot in this election, and
the workers and exploited farmers
who have grown tired of the mis-
leading propaganda and false prom
ises of the capitalist parties will this
year have an opportunity to protest
against the capitalist system by vot-
ing for the national Communist can
didates, Foster and Gitlow; for the
state candidates, and for the Com
munist program.
In report made by Jack Stachel,
organizational secretary of the
Workers (Communist) Party, to the
Central Executive Committee, after
a. tour of Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Kentucky and Tennessee, he de-
clared that every one of these states
would be on the ballot-Michigan
and Pennsylvania are already on
in the November elections.
Enthusiastic Response.
Stachel reported that the mem
bers of the Workers (Communist)
Party everywhere found a ready
response to their requests for sig
natures to place the Communist
ticket on the ballot. Shaffer, cam
paign manager, reported that in
Cleveland, Ohio, alone 10000 sigma
lures were collected and 1900 in
Youngstown.
Pat Devine of Minnesota reported
to the organizational secretary that
nearly the required number of sig
natures were on hand and that both
the national and state tickets would
be on the ballot. The farmer-labor
party of Minnesota, once strong
organization, is now demoralized and
dominated by reactionary elements,
who are playing hide-and-go-seek
with the interests of the workers
and poor farmers and flirting with
the republican and democratic par
ties.
Good Opportunity.
In Wisconsin it is not possible to
proceed with the task of collecting
signatures until after the primaries,
but there iSno doubt about the abil-
ity to collect the required number
and get the national and state tick
cts on the ballot.
In Indiana, great coal-minlng
and manufacturing state, once a So
cialist stronghold and in recent
years one of the states controlled
by the political apparatus of the ku
Klux Klan, the Communist petitions
are in circulation, and enough sig
natures to put the Party on the bal
lot will undoubtedly be collected.
Stachel reported that the COM
rades in the various districts were
enthusiastic over the campaign and
realized what a splendid opportunity
it presented to reach the workers
with Communist propaganda. AN
