EDITORS NOTE: This is the
second letter which has reached
The DAILY WORKER since the
distribution at the National Bis
cult factory from workers with
whom the paper had no previous
contact. This shows that the Ma
tional Biscuit slaves are aroused
at last. But we ought to have still
more letters about conditions in
the factory and about our distribu-
tions. We like to know what the
workers think of them. We also
like to receive names and addresses
so that the worker does not simply
write us and we never hear of him
or her again, but so that we can
keep in close touch with each
worker in his struggle.

DAUCHERTY USES
LEWIS METHODS
BUT IN PUBLIC
Plays Harrington Role
for Coal Barons
by Worker Correspondent.)


Oral Daugherty, former sub-district
president of Hooking Valley, has been
addressing meetings of business men
and miners trying to bring an end
to the strike, with the miners making
all the concessions and the operators
getting all the gravy.
Lee Hall, the president of the dis
trict and faithful supporter of John
l.. Lewis, declared from the public
platform that Daugherty was a hard
working official, but had to be ousted
because he was guilty of insubordina-
ton. That's ALL
INSTRUMENTATION.
Daugherty admits that he is guilty
of INSTRUMENTATION, but that in urging
the miners to return to work or
starve he was only saying in public
what Hall, Lewis and Murray have
been saying privately. In this
Daugherty is no doubt correct.
It appears that Daugherty, seeing
the debacle which the leaders of the
United Mine Workers of America in
GLIDING himself, brought on the
union, decided to take the lead in the
expected march of union officials to
the operators payroll. There is no
doubt but Daugherty is slated to play
the same role as Harrington (tho for
less pay and other reactionary
leaders of the United Mine Workers
of America, who could not resist the
tempting odor from the fleshpots of
the coal barons.
Go Ahead with Plans
The Save-the- Union forces in
Eastern Ohio are going ahead with
their plans to take the organization
away from the corrupt agents of the
operators, whether parading openly
like Daugherty or covertly working
like Lee Hall and his gang.
The members of the seventeen To-
Gals that have been expelled re-
inforced by the membership of other
locals are determined that they will
remain in the union after Lewis and
Hall are put out.
They are not fooled by Daugherty's
professions of devotion to the ideal
OF free speech. Daugherty only
wanted free speech for himself in his
efforts to betray the miners to the
operators.
Official Burden
The miners are firmly convinced
that a strike is saddled with a ter
rifle burden from the start in the
weight of an officialdom that thinks
in terms of the employers interests
and not in the interests of the
workers.
Daugherty's alliance with the opera
tors was proven last week when, in
the course of a meeting held in
Athens, which Philip Murray was the
principal speaker, two airplanes
circled over the crowd dropping leaf
lets singing Daugherty's praises.
The miners listened to Murray for
half an hour and then howled him
off the platform. Most of them were
equally dissatisfied with Daughertv.
Murray had no program of action.
The only hope he held out for them
was in the senate investigation. This
they knew is a vain hope. Daugherty
advised immediate surrender.
