Ignore Miners Struggle.

The miners of Illinois are on the
eve of a struggle in answer to the
wage-cut demand of the bosses. This
big question is also camouflaged with
the slogan america First"
The workers of Chicago cannot use
the primaries on April 10 for their
interests. Participation in the April
10 primaries means support for cap
italist parties. 1t means the support
of Coolidge and Lowden, the WE'LL
known enemies of labor.
The working class needs a party of
its own, a party that will be repre-
sentative of the toiling masses and its
interests. A Labor Party must be
the answer to the bosses and their
corrupt labor lieutenants who continu-
ally betray the workers. The Work
ers (Communist) Party asks the
workers to fight for labor ticket for
the 1928 elections. If Labor Party
does not become an organizational re-
atty before the presidential and state
elections, the Workers Party will have
its own ticket. Towards these ends
we must concentrate our energy. The
nuclei neighborhood meetings must
put the Labor Party to the fore with
increased vigor during this election
campaign.

Strike Line Holds Fast.
Toohey turned to the story Of the
courageous fight of the Pennsylvania
and Ohio miners, and spoke of how
they were holding out against the
terrific odds of the coal and iron po-
lice, the clubbings, the jails, the in
functions, and the courts, the hunger
and cold of the barracks and the mis-
cradle relief of 81 week given them
by their highly paid officials. Their
conditions have led them to thinking
more and more that they must do
something to prevent the complete
smashing of the union by the opera
tors and their union tools.

dependent political action in conjunc-
ton with the white workers as against
the capitalist parties.
The real issues that confront the
working class of Illinois and Chicago,
are not mentioned in this capitalist
primary. Unemployment does not ex-
list for these capitalist politicians. On
Wednesday, March 90. over 1000 I'M
employed workers, part of the army
of unemployed, which numbers close
to 100000 in Chicago, met block
away from where Thompson and his
supporters held a political rally. He
spoke about america First" and the
drafting of Coolidge to keep up pros
perity," and sent his police to break
up the demonstration of unemployed.
What about the injunction menace?
The pals of Denny Sullivan do not
say word about this, and the labor
takers who support these politicians
are also silent on this most vital ques-
ton. Alderman Oscar Nelson, who
poses as labor leader, Is also candi-
date in this capitalist primary, yet he
never lifts a finger in support of
working class issues. The transporta-
ton system of Chicago is rotten. At
present the insult lines are appealing
for raise in fares, and not a word
about this. The politicians are ready
to give the traction trust a perpetual
franchise and Oscar Nelson is the

Pat Toohey, secretary of the Ma
tional Save-the- Union Committee
struck responsive chords when he said:
eve are here for only one purpose:
to save the Miners Union, to win and
spread the strike and to Dust the gang
of reactionaries who are leading it to
destruction.
SGT he reactionaries, continued
Toohey, care the agents in our union

Rockefeller, Warden and Mellon. The
union faces the most serious crisis in
its history, and we meet with the de-
termination that these 1000 miners,
representatives gathered from all
parts of America and Canada to dis

Lewis a Pretender.
"John L. Lewis was never elected
to the presidency of the union," said
Toohey as the conference roared
"Noi" in agreement, "for he stole the
election from Alex Howat in 1922,
he stole the election from George
Voyzey in 1924, and he stole the cleo
