The "NatiOn" Aids Strikebreakers

The weekly publication, The Nation, that
doesn't know whether it is liberal or iber-
tartan, and that supported the Wall Street
Tammany candidate, Al. Smith for president
of the United States, poses as a ''friend of
labor" In its current number it appeals edi-
torially for Christmas funds" to be sent to
the offices of the Associated Silk Workers of
Paterson.
1t was the officials of the Associated who,
forced to call strike by the pressure of the
workers in the union, contrived to betray it
and now stand exposed as open enemies of
the workers To urge the sending of money
to the Associated of Paterson is to aid strike
breakers and union wreckers.
In this action The Nation is at least polit-
ically consistent. 1t backs for president of
the United States the head of the Tammany
union-smashing outfit and urges support of
traitors to the labor movement in Paterson.
There is but one organization in Paterson
that represents the strikers and the mass
of workers in the silk industry and that is
the National Textile Workers Union All
class conscious workers will support that
union, while the capitalists, including the lib
erals and the silk mill owners, will support
the scab union.

Boston JingOes at 1t Again

BOSTON, Mass, Dec 16.-The Boston jngoes are

the ire of police and and caused the society
madames of the Back Bay district to blush with out
ragged purity is Michael Colds play of the Mexican
peasantry, Fiesta" being produced by the
Harvard Dramatic Club in Cambridge.
The police of Cambridge threaten to stop the play
unless several Objectionable lines cut out. One
letter sent to Superintendent of Police Michael H.
Crowle.G who led the Boston police force in its
brutality during the last days of the Sacco-Van-
zett agitation and who banned "Oil' recently,
planned that the play indecent" and "the most
disgraceful and immoral production" the sensitive

have announced that they will lock up the entire

Lewis District Gang Goes
Underground; Raises Dues

PITTSBURGH, Pa, (By MaiD. -
With more secrecy than attends a
night raiding party of the Ku
Klux Khan, the officials and dis
organizers of the United Mine
Workers of America in District S
pittsburgh called together their
loyal standpatter henchmen and paid
pickets somewhere in Pittsburgh
ard wrote finis to their claim t.
leadership of the Western Pennsyl-
vania miners.
The gathering was designated as
the regular (?) Biennial Convention
Of District 5, United Mine Workers
of America, although not line was
written or printed to call it together,
nor were the so-called local unions
invited to elected their own delegates
tn represent them at the convention.
Each one of the delegates was hand
picked or self-picked, because there
is not mining town in Western
Pennsylvania with a functioning To-
cal union that is paying dues to the
machine of international President
Lewis or District President Pagan
in District 5 of the United Mine
Workers of America. All of the
unions that do exist are locals newly
organized and belonging to the Ma
tional Miners Union. Because of
this, the so-called convention is all
the more huge joke.
Convention Or Funeral?
1t would be more appropriate to
call the gathering funeral than a
convention, because it's work was of
such nature that District 5, United
Mine Workers of America pronunced
dead by all it's former members, was
waiting only for the burial service
and the funeral dirge. At least that
much is cleaned from the order of
business which consisted of a dis
cussion of the lost strike and re-
suited in the decision to instruct all
those not already working, to return
to work wherever they could get it
and to pay dues to any Of the Off
Gals whose records are proof that
no further organization work will be
attempted.
In every sense Of the word the
United Mine Workers of America is
as dead now as the Knights Of Labor
has been for close to forty-eight
years, but the dues are necessary to
provide wages and hotel expenses
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-12-17

for those who stay on the old pay
roll.
However, judging from the lack of
response from the mine regions to
the call for dues payments, one can
easily visualize the opening of more
private detective agencies, labor
agencies, speakeasies, or some other
kind of racketeering enterprises, be-
cause there is not much else that the
fat boys can do and if the men from
the mines refuse to contribute to
their upkeep, they have to do some
thing or starve to death. There are
many miners who sincerely wish
that they find themselves unable to
do anything.
Dues Raised.
Some years ago the district union
formulated splendid method by
which they could build worthwhile
treasury to grab their spoils from
and they instituted a burial fund.
This was to be built by levy on
each members earnings to the tune
of one-half of one per cent. This
was before the days of Volstead. Out
of this fund, $3.50 was to be paid to
the beneficiary of every member who
died, but when the strike came there
was grave" fear that the dead
members would cut into the treasury
too deep. The officials stopped pay
ment of death benefits so that they
themselves could keep on drawing
salaries. Now they have stopped
the benefits to the members because
all the funds have been used to kill
and bury the United Mine Workers
OF America. They are asking the
miners to carry them through their
purgatory period until some kind
coal operator that they have served
so well in the past offers them
permanent haven of rest. To this
end the miners are asked to pay an
increased monthly dues which will
be $3.50 a month instead of the
eighty cents per month before the
strike.
New Union Growing.
The new National Miners Union
is growing by leaps and bounds and
the old U. M. w. A. is forgotten ex-
cept for its betrayals. The miners
realize that their future depends on
the new union and are joining it de-
spite the combined opposition of the
operators and the takers.

to receive visits only from imme-
date relatives and for a period of
20 minutes only, and now it is
changed to from l to 3 p. m. on
the same days and strictly relatives.
For instance, there was a mans
wife who came all the way from
Georgia, distance of 900 miles to
see her husband and because the
man was not listed here as married
she had to go back home without
seeing her husband.
"(c) Consideration for home par
ole.
Denied Parole Right.
SIN the last two years, out Of
1000 men that have been sent here,
about six men have been granted
home parole. War Department
specifically states that a man should
exercise every effort possible to
make home parole. When a prison
er goes before the parole officer he
is discouraged as much as possible
by said officer. Always, when
man on home parole is arrested,
whether guilty or not, he automati-
cally forfeits his parole and when
he comes back he loses all good
conduct time earned and does the
remainder of his sentence in full.
They have form here that the men
sign stating that they don't want
home parole and the officer tries to
get all the men to sign it so that
the men won't have any comeback.

In the resistance to imperialist aggression,
nothing can be expected from the petit-bour-
geoisie. So eloquent petit-bourgeois spokes-
man as Borah has gone over lock- stock and

endorsement of the big navy program of the
General Naval Board.
The industrialization of the south, the
further proletarianization of the Negro
masses, the further appropriation of the farm

their further proletarianzation, will serve to
create bigger and more class-conscious prole-

Our Party must be wide awake to these sig
