8 Young Strikers in
Canada Given Long
Sentences in Jail

HAMILTON, Ontario (By MaiD.
Three young strikers of the Ma
tonal Steel Car plant, who have
taken an active part in the strike
there, were sentenced to Jail, one to
six months and the other to three
months and one to one month. Teddy
Derenesky, who was sentenced to
six months, was the leader of the
young strikers, who numbered about
$50. Johnny Halubishen was given
three months and Mike Swady one
months sentence. The technical 'ex-
cuse used to railroad the militant
young strike leaders to Jail was the
charge that they had broken scab's
window. Though the charge against
Derenesky was the same as against
the others, he was given the six
months sentence because he was the
leader of the young strikers.
The Young Communist League of
Canada is conducting an active cam
paign against the attempts to init
midate the young workers by long
ja;.S,ntences.

Steel either winks at or openly sup
ports.
The paymaster of the mill is the
mayor of the town, and gives the
traffic in booze free h2ld because
it makes the worker get drunk and
makes him temporarily forget the
unbearable conditions he must face.
Prostitution is also w.nked at by
the authorities so that the money
left over from drinks can be spent
on prostitutes. In fact, the Car
negie Steel does everything to al
ford the lowest amusements to the
workers so their minds can be kept
off basic problems.
The workers are also encouraged
to get advanc on their wages so
their noses can be kept to the grind
ing stone. This is done to keep the
workers in a position where they
have to work at any wage. How
ever, in the face Of ali this, many
Negro steel workers are constantly
in revolt.
Many are beginning to turn to
the only solution, which is organiza-
ton, and many can discriminate be-
tween the treacherous A. F. of L.

union center, the Trade Union Unity
League. They are ready for the

Soviet Union to Push
Technical Progress

MOSCOW, Nov. 20.--"It is the
object of the U.S.S.R. to catch up
with and overtake the foremost cap
italist countries in technical and
economic respects within the briefest
historical period" says a resolution
adopted by the Central Committee
of the Communist Party.
Grain collections have proceeded
in such satisfactory manner, states
the resolution, that a reserve ex-
ceeding 100000 tons of grain is
being put aside. Over $6,500,000
will be invested in state enterprises
for 1929-1930. Forty thousand ad-
ditional tractors will be put into
operation in the coming year.
Another resolution adopted by the
Central Committee provides for re-
lief of poor peasants who suffered
at the hands of the kulaks during
the grain collecting campaign. Spe-
cial loans and credits, as well as
pensions and medal treatment will
be provided for them.

CLARION, Pa. (By Mail)-The
conditions of the Negro workers in
Clarion are deplorable. The work

Moreover they are segregated to

Attempt to Disarm
Mexican Workers
Fought by Red Aid

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (By
MaiD-The international Red Aid,
Mexican section, is fighting against
widespread persecution of workers
and peasants by the government.
fcaily the government becomes more
Id more the open tool of foreign
Imperialism and the reactionary
land owners.
Foremost is the attempt of the
petty-bourgeois Mexican govern
ment, under the leadership Of the
Rubio-Gil governments to affect a
total disarmament of the peasantry.
The Red Aid, with the cooperation
of the Peasants League and the
Communist Party, is vigorously bat
Ting against this attempt to insure
the subsection of the Mexican
masses.
Comrade Lamberto Sibillini was
deported to Spain, into the hands
of Primo de Rivera, where he will
meet severe punishment. This CO.
operation between the Mexican gov
eminent and the bloody dictator OF
Spain exposes the true nature OF
the Rubio-Gil government.
In Piedras Negras, Jose Rivera,
miner, is being held in Jail indefin-
lily because of his activities in the
LIBERATION on the list of May. The
Lsexican Red Aid is campaigning
for his release.
On October II, Comrade Aurelio
Diaz, who worked for the Workers
and Peasants League, was killed
while in Jail in Vera Cruz. No Ell
fort was made to apprehend his
murderers, though they are well
known to the police.
The Mexican Red Aid publishes a
long list of prosecutions, especially
against members of the revolution
airy peasants organizations. The
Mexican government now is facile
tool in the hands of United States
imperialism. Oppression of the
workers and peasants grows.

Fight for Oil in
Colombia Sharpens

BOGOTA, Columbia, Nov. 90
The struggle for the control of the
oil resources of Columbia by Brit
ish and American imperialists was
renewed by the failure to pass a
new petroleum bill by the Column
bian Congress which just closed its
sessions.
British and American oil COM
panies now are operating under an
emergency law passed in 1927. This
law is weak attempt to restrict
oil production and limit the sapping
of the country's resources by for
eign capitalists.
The present minister of industry,
Jose Antonio Montalvo, a friend
and patron of British imperialism,
is the author of the law which failed
to pass.
Sometime ago Senior Montalvo
made an agreement with Col. H. l..
F. Yates, who represents the Brit
ish government seni-officially, for
the development Of large area in
Uraba, near the Panama boundary
line.
The United States government
strenuously objected to this Brit
ish concession because of it's prox-
unity to the Panama Canal.
The concession obtained by the
British was more suitable for mill
tary air base for prospective at
tacks on the canal than as an oil
field.
However, Washington seems to
have good supporter in the person
of Pres. Abadia Mendez, who was
! instrumental in abrogating this gift
to the British.

China's Fiercest War
RACES i'm Center Area

SHANGHAI, Nov. 2O.-Contra-
dictory claims of advantage in the
fighting going on between Marking
and Kuonminchun armies in Roman
and Hupeh provinces darken the
knowledge of which way the tide of
battle is turning, but one fact is
outstanding, that the fiercest fight
ing of any of China's many civil
wars is taking place in this region.
The shade of advantage seems
with Marking in Honan and with
the Kuominchun in Hupeh. The
bloody nature of the battle is seen
in the Chinese report of stubborn
fighting with hand grenades and
long knives at Tengfeng, with
thousands killed.

MINE FAKER'S IDEA OF

him $4,000 with a signed contract
for two more payments of like

deals by which he sold the Lester

staff helped the state of Illinois
frame up the Zeigler miners on muir
der charges.
Tells of Connelsville.
But, since now Fishwick and Lewis
have split, Harrington does tell some
things he knows about Lewis crimes.
He tells of the betrayal in the 1922
strike of the 10000 Connelsville
coke region and Somerset County
miners. They joined in the strike to
man, though they had not for
merly belonged to the union. When
the strike was over, Lewis simply
abandoned them. He refused even
to give them a charter, to permit
them to continue their struggle as
district of the U.M.W.A.
Good Big Drive.
Furthermore, he signed up the
whole Kentucky district at the be-
ginning of the strike, and made it
non-union after the strike. Earring
ton revives the story current at the
time, that Lewis got $150,000 from
the Kentucky operators for the first
month of the strike, and $4,000 for
each additional month that the u.
M. W. A. struck, and the Kentucky
miners were forced to seab.
In addition to Farrington's con-
! fession of Lewis sins, the Fishwick
machine continues to fight the Lew
is machine in other ways. 1t has
declared Sneed, the pro-Lewis vice
president of District II (Illinois)
out of office, and alleges that he
fraudulently obtained some salary
from the district after he was really
out. 1t places the handy man, the
technical expert in betrayal, of the
Farrington-Fishwick administration,
George L. Mercer, in the office of
vice president.

The Fishwick trial board recently
threw out Joe Goett, Lewis sub-dis-
trict president in Peoria sub-district
of District IL.
And, in answer to Lewis charge,
backed up possession of the Cancelled
checks, that Fishwick intended to
steal some $4,000, Fishwick says
the money was just being isolated
to use it in fighting "the Commu-
mist National Nil IS IT,"
that ought to please the coal COM
panies, the real owners of both Fish
wick and Lewis!
But the miners of Illinois watch
both the Fishwick and Lewis gangs

gether for quite a while and found
out a lot about each other. And the
miners go right on joining the Ma
til i Miners Union. Anything that
