Young Miners Fight for Union

ever the Save-the- Union movement
which seeks to GUST the fake admins
tration recognizes that without the
young miners in the present fight
they cannot successfully carry out
their program. Every effort is being
made to draw the young miners into
the movement such as calling meet
ings of the young miners, and electing
subcommittee of the Save-the-U Union
Committee Of young miners whose
task it is to rally the young miners
behind the fight.
This is the policy thruout the state
These committees have the problems
Of getting the young miners to at
tend the meetings of the Save-the-
Union Committee, coming out to the
picket lines, attend their local union
meetings and taking their places in
the union as real union members.
/ Inc pest way TO involve the young
miners in the struggle would be the
calling of Young Miners Conference.
This conference will rally the young
miners behind the general fight of
4 the Save-the- Union Committee and
take up the special problems of the
young miners, solving such problems
as fighting against discrimination of
young miners, drawing the young
miners generally into the union ac-
tivity and making them an integral
part of the organization. These neces-
sary steps will go long way in aid
ing the fight of the Save-the- Union
Committee and will at the same time
unite all the forces in one common
struggle.

Fools run in where angels fear to
tread" was the retort to a statement
of the Paterson Chamber of Com
merce, written by the strike commit
tee of the Paterson silk strikers in the
famous struggle of 1924.
This Paterson chamber composed of
bankers, business men, labor-b batting
silk bosses, "shyster" doctors and
lawyers, has reputation among the
silk workers of Paterson as a mere
adjunct of the mill owners, who do
not want other industries established
in Paterson, for fear that they will
absorb some of the unemployed army
which is weapon in the hands OF
the silk bosses to beat down wages,
introduce long hours, discriminate
against union workers and fight or
ganization of labor, of any kind.

trumpets and with the blessings of
the Reverend DR.. Fuller, the Labor
Chautauqua" was opened.
But to no avail.
Neither the blessings of DR.. Fuller
nor the hypocritical speeches of pres
ident McMahon of the U. 7. W., who
blamed the workers for the miserable
plight they are in, helped the meet
ings. Labor Chautauqua" was even
a greater fiasco than education
week" in Passaic, which was sub
sidized by the bosses there. Imedi-
ately thereafter Mr.. Fuller dropped
out of the picture, and thus the lick
spittles of the bosses gave way to
the movement of the S-hour day con-
ference.
S-Hour Day Conference.
The 8-hour day conference was
originally organized by the Associat-
ed Silk Workers. The United Textile
Workers locals of Paterson, the
Trades Council and other labor and
fraternal organizations were invited
to participate. This outfit con-
demned the movement because the A.
S. w. is a dual organization. This
was the signal for the U. T. w. locals
not to participate. The Horizontal
Wrappers Union was the only local of
the U. T. w. which realized that
something must be done Immediately
to stem the tide of long hours, speed
up, wage cuts and unemployment.
Therefore, it went along with the AS
ISOLATED in its attempt to organize
movement to restore the 8-hour day
to the Paterson silk workers. AS the
conference went ON it brought pres
sure to bear upon the other U. T. w.

of cotton textile machinery and its
widespread installation in non British
territories during the world war.
The result?
Depression Results.
Depression in the British textile
industry; temporary relief during the
war-prosperity period; then the long
years of unemployment following the
Peace Treaty of 1919, with speeding
up and wage reductions.
What IS the remedy?
The British textile manufacturers
ere answering with fresh attack on
the standards of living of the British
textile workers: "How else can we
compete with Asiatic labor?" the bos-
SEES demand.

success; profits running into bill
lions; technical progress without end;
decades of virtual world monopoly,
and at the end notices served on the

existing Paterson silk unions was
raised by the 8-hour day conference
and a unity conference between the
U. T. W. locals and the Associated
took place at the Alexander Hamil-
ton Hotel of Paterson, on May 10,
1928. Mr.. A. J. Music of Brookwood
Labor College was invited to officiate
as the impartial chairman. At that
unity conference the delegates of the
Associated presented united clear
cut statement of facts and proposals
for unity, while the U. 7. w. dele
gates had nothing to offer except to
make speeches and to invite the As
ISOLATED to rejoin the U. T. w. When
the proposal was made to elect COM
mittee of twelve, six from the Asso-
ciated and six from the U. T. w.
delegates, Mr.. Hayes, the most hated
and despised man among his own
crowd, objected to the selection of
committee of six from the present
delegation of the U. T. w. for fear
that Mr.. Green, who was a delegate
from the Wrappers local and who
openly spoke for industrial unionism
and had quite few sympathizers
with him, would slip in in this COM
mittee of six. This open unity con-
ference clearly indicated that the u.
! T. w. leaders are takers and that
they negotiated with the Associated
not because they want to have it in
it's ranks but because they want to
reduce its strength to a minimum
power so that the workers will have
no organization in the coming strug-
gle which is looming ahead. Proof of
that is the conference which was or
ganized by Mr.. Fuller on Industrial
Relations in Paterson, held on Satur-
day and Sunday, May 10, 20, 1928.
Associated Does Not Participate.
Mr.. Kluger, of the bosses, having
been invited by professor" Fuller,
said, "Let the manufacturers alone
to work out their own problems" Mr..
Barr, another, representative of the
manufacturers, told the story that he
went to Pennsylvania to request the
silk manufacturers there to introduce
the 8-hour day and one shift. To that
they replied, "Clean your own house
first" Mr.. Walks, labor lawyer, de-
| livered a lecture to Mr.. Fuller on the
necessity of a general strike to bet
ter the working conditions. Mr.. Walks,
though visitor was given the floor,
but the conference was quite sur
iprised to hear such philosophy ex-
pounded by lawyer.
What will be the answer from the
workers to this fake scheme? If the
Associated will not give its answer
| through the undertaking of vigor-
GUS campaign to organize the unor-
ganized silk workers surely other
forces will come forth and will give
the proper answer to the labor takers
which will sweep them off their feet.

A large piece of stone fell in the
III street in Rome and narrowly
missed chipping a few pieces off the
heads of two uniformed fascists and
a priest. Investigation showed that
the stone fell from the foot of
statue of an angel on st. Peters
Basilica. Mussolini is understood to
be sitting rumor that the angel
kicked the stone down and efforts to
learn the sculptor's name are being
made by fascist detectives. Musso-
lini is also reported to have ordered
an iron umbrella to carry in the next
parade.
The socialist party has been hard
hit by the coal strike. It's something
terrible the way Morris Hillquit's

ALTHOUGH the playboy Strind-
IA berg did not build up his reputa-
ton on whimsicality there is one
droll spot in his drama, "The Faith
err" which dragged into its seventh
day here recently at the Belmont
Theatre and surrendered. In the
play mother tickles father with the
remark that no husband can be real
positive that he is the undeniable
father of his wife's offspring. Ac-
cidents do happen you know. This
and that. So he can't be just sure.
The father, instead of answering
casually that no wife can really de-
termine accurately the extent of
her husbands parenthood, flies into
rage, lies on the floor whispering
to the $4.40 seats that he wants to
die, and generally prepares for
madness in Act 8. His irritation
leads him into an analysis of all
womankind whom he identifies as
the enemy. His mother was his
first betrayer, he narrates. It was
she who withheld nourishment in
early youth and caused him to grow
up into the undessized weakling
which he now is. But real charm
is thrust into the scene by the fact
that Robert Whittier, who plays
the part of the father, looks like
Zybysko, the wrestler, and weighs
$50 pounds if he weighs an ounce.

BRITISH CAPITALISM rests back
~ on the textile industry. Even be-
fore the introduction of power ma
chinery textile manufacturing was
one of the basic British industries.
For more than a century after steam
was harnessed to textile manufacture
ing, power spindles and looms gave
the British manufacturer and trader
a virtual monopoly in the world S
markets.
Practically four-fiftbs of the Brit
ish cotton industry is built upon the
export trade, and one-fourth of al,
British exports are manufactured cot
ton goods.
Cotton Is King.
Capitalism has had it's full chance

has enjoyed so long history Of ma

The animal was a donation from lIr. Bell of WilIamsport who caught the little fellow while on a biz game hunting expedition to Alaska last fall. The cub was a great fayorite with the children who had named him "Tunney" for the reason that he was continually standing erect in a boxing position and holding his front paws as though ready to deliver an uppercut. An autopsy disclosed that the bear had been given enough strychnine to kill ten men.
