For a New National Mine Union

The Consolidation Coal Co."
owns the mine towns and so the
cost of living rise surely took away
the 81 per cent and more.
Mr.. Anderson thus proved to his
coal baron colleagues that it pays
to break up the miners union.
Praises Lewis.
Since these are his figures the
actual condition is undoubtedly
much worse. Drunk by his sue
cesses he proceeded to singing odes
to Lewis.
Referring to the strike he said:
ION the operators side they know
that the present conflict is an in
dustrial war which has lasted twice
as long as the world war; On the
other side the miners have a great
general. When the history of labor
will be written, he will be recog-
nized as one of the great labor
leaders of our country.
in the old days things were bad
when the companies were compelled
to sign with the men nationally.
Lewis has taken a great step for
ward by permitting individual COM
panies to sign"
Lewis stands branded as a most
despicable, miserable, prostituted
tool of the coal interests and with
him his clique of flunkeys.
His present strategy of draining
the U. M. w. A. of all it's progress
sive, potent, militant, virile and
honest elements is directly in line
with the needs and wishes of the
coal barons to further devitalize
and demoralize, the disunited and
shrinking union.
"Open Shop" is the program of
the Mellon Rockefeller Schwab- Nor
gan and other big capitalist inter-
ests. ITO smash the U. M. w. A."
is their next step. John L. Lewis
is the servile messenger boy to do
this dirty job. Lewis, of course,
does not think it time yet to go the
way of his once bosom friend, Mr..
Harrington. He still can be more
useful to the coal operators.
However, the ''Lewises must go''
storm clouds are the symbols and
the left wing and progressive forces
are the guarantee that Lewis and
his whole pack of wolves will go.
Leadership of Left Wing.
In this whole messy and confused
situation the national organized left
wing forces are the healthy kernel
giving the miners leadership and
understanding in their struggles
and laying base for rebuilding
the union and not permitting it's be-
ing smashed.
The September national conven-
ton of the miners is the only bright
star on which are conferred the
hopes, not only of the entire miners,
rank and file, but of the entire la
Dor movement of the United States
Down with the misleaders of
labor!
All power to the progressive min
ers' forces!

mo Negroes Here"
After a good nights rest we
awoke at $50 o'clock. We went for
breakfast to a Greek cafe, where l
was refused service at the table but
was invited to the kitchen, because of
my being Negro. l rejected this
offer, and we found a cafe a short
distance away where we all had
breakfast. We then started out to
get the signatures, and although it
seemed an impossible task, by about
2 o'clock we had the required num-
Der.
After lunch we left for Stafford,
which is in Graham County, 95 miles
southeast. We arrived there at
1890, got number of signatures by
II O'Clock, and decided to call it a
day. We were able to drive out a
few blocks to accommodate ourselves
with another natural camp-ground.
Stafford is a town of Mormons
(hicks). We were up at six o'clock,
and went for breakfast at cafe
operated by the so-called lily white
A. By instruction I was told that
I could not get service there because
of my color, and | said that was
born here and not colored. Yet this
lily white Caucasian refused through
his little hick waitress, who doesn't
know whether she lives on earth or
exists on some UNEMPLOYED planet.
Nevertheless we found a cafe where
all were served.
Get Signatures
Comrade O'Brien went to the
County Hall to find out the required
number of signatures to complete the
list from Graham County. Comrade
Saul and l went right ahead with
getting signers. Everyone seemed
to be somewhat Indifferent, but we
overcame all of the objections, one
by one, until we got the required
number. 1t was then about one
o'clock, and we made our affidavits
and ate lunch. We then (1:30
o'clock went over and started the
flivver for our next long drive of
1856 miles to Tucson, which is in
Pima County.

BY. JACK OBLAN.

The coal mines of the United
States are the private property Of
some seven thousand companies.
Of these about two thousand are
affiliated nationally and control rs
per cent of the production. All these
companies are like fish in a pond
the big ones eating up the smaller
ones.
The production capacity is ap-
proximately double the market ca
pacity. With the present low and
ever falling wages, long hours and
even worsening conditions of la
Dor, the coal companies can produce
over one thousand million lions a
year. The market cannot Consume
more than $50 million tons.
The coal barons thus are always
provided with reserve army" an
army of unemployed miners, which
they skillfully use to exert a ter
rifle pressure on the miners at work
and keep them at starvation wages
The miners exist under a condition
of exploitation both degrading ano
humiliating.
Crazy Speed-Up.
The crazy speed-up is on the gal

dent rate is even more rapid thar
the production rate. While the pro
duction increased 20 per cent the &C
cident rate increased in the same
period 38 per cent; So per cent Of
the accidents were due to collapse
of roofs and in most cases were
avoidable even according to capital
list engineers; 1876 per cent due tt
mine car and locomotive accidents
and 1872 per cent due to electricity
nearly all these are avoidable
Almost all accidents occurred due t.
dastardly, criminal negligence ant
disregard of human life by the Goa
companies.
In the brief period between May
10 and %, of this year, in only foul
coal mine disasters 230 men wer,

Since the beginning of 1927 mass
arrests and executions have been
taking place in Manchuria. The
Japanese authorities have taken the
finger prints of the Chinese railway
workers along the whole of the
South Manchurian railway line. In
July, 1927, IS Chinese Communists
were arrested In Dairen because they
had organized strikes in Japanese
undertakings. In consequence of
this Tong Ho-kao and many others
were recently sentenced to death. In
August a strike of 1900 coolies
took place in the mines of, Pentchibu.
The strike was drowned in blood by
the Japanese troops.

Dastardly Record.
In the matter of killing off its
producers the parasitic coal barons
of the U. S. A. are the best racers
on a world-scale.
During the five year period of
1921 1925 inclusive, average mum
Der of men killed per 1000 on the
basis of a 800 day year (record
from capitalist sources), the fol-
lowing is a comparative table:

| Prussia 1856
Belgium .............1.0 LOO
France Ito 1924 -. .0.97
The German socialists combined
with their capitalists could not kill
half as many workers as could the
American coal barons combined
with John L. Lewis treacherous

American mines are at the same

point Of view of machine proJuc-

following percentages of mines had

Chemistry's part in converting
raw products of the farm into sale
able articles of commerce was dis
cussed today at hte convention of
the Association of Official Agricul-
tural Chemists in the Raleigh
Hotel.
DR.. Harvey T. Wiley, former
chief of the Bureau of Chemistry
and honorary president of the or
ganization, was the guest of honor
at the annual dinner. The prin-
cipal speech was made by DR..
Oswald Schreiner, of Washington,
president.
DIR. Schreiner asserted that the
association has performed signal
service for the country through its
book of methods, based on years OF
research work by it's members. He
explained that these methods have
concerned themselves more espe.
cially with commoner elements IN
soils. fertilizers, feeding stuffs, hu.
man foods and drugs, to the end
that the public welfare and health
be safeguarded, and we may well
feel proud of the success achieved. !"
