"No country in Europe has such
a comprehensive system Of work

On the factory it is the cultural

LABOR REPORTER
CONDE INNS PAPER
He once BACKED
Now Doubts He Is in
Fright Camp"

The "New Leader" organ of the
yellow socialist partv will refuse
to publish a correction of its de-
ceptive account Of the events at
the recent Pittsburgh convention
for the formation of the New Ma
tional Miners Union. it became
certain yesterday when the cur
rent issue of the pener appeared.
The request that the story be
corrected was made by Horace
Davis, a reporter for the Federated
Press who coveredttFe news Of the
convention. Davis who snesks Of
himself as Backing Norman
Thomas" although beginning to
9wonder whether I am in the right
camp" wrote to the editor of the
socialist paper on September Is,
pointing out the vicious inacur-
acies of the "New Leader" account
and vouching for the corrections
which he thought should ain fair
ness" be made.
Not An Exception.
The New Leader" has failed TO
print the correction, fact which is
not considered surprising to those
who have watched the consistent
SANDER by this and other socialist
party organs of the various militant
struggles which the workers are
now carrying on.
The labor reporter declares in
substance that the account of the
convention by the socialist organ
was more deceptive than any to be
found even in the kept press of the
capitalists"
The letter follows in full:
To the editors of the New Leader:
Your article on the breaking up
Of the miners convention in
Pittsburgh last Sunday, Sept. 9Th
contains a number of misstate-
ments. In fairness to your read
ers, I think you should publish a
correction. l was present at the
time and can personally vouch for
what l say
Lie Number One.
~ You say that the miners
who came to the hall asking for
admission was estimated at
nearly thousand" A hundred
would probably put the number
too high. The important point to
remember, however, is that all
those who came to break up the
convention were armed with black
jacks, knives, etc.
~ You state that members of
both factions-those attempting to
meet and those attempting to
break up the meeting-were ar
rested at the hall. This is in
correct. The only ones arrested
at that time were members Of the
7 Save the Union group.
(3) "None of the officers of the
limited Mine Workers was in the
smarch." That depends on what
you call an officer. Lewis, Murray
and Pagan were not there. tho
Murray afterwards issued state
ment defending the attack on the
meeting. About twenty organi-
zers and minor officials were
II identified in the crowd.

leaders of the Communists were
present" That again depends on
what you call Communist. Most

Union group were at the hall, in
