South with the National Miners Union

midst of it all, usually near the
company office, one can see the
company store.
Here the miner is compelled to
trade his earnings, little as they are,
for whatever brand of goods the
company store chooses to carry, for
there are no private stores in which
he might expect to gain the advant-
age of competition.
The southern miner has noticed
that his southern neighbors in the
textile industry have been leading
the way in the formation of unions
that will challenge the right of the
overlords to exploit the workers in
that industry, particularly in Cas-
tonia, and is ready to do likewise.
The southern miners have not for
gotten the betrayals Of John l.. Lew

America all over the country and
particularly the ones in the South

real militant and class conscious
union such as the National Miners

West Virginia, but also those of

That the bosses themselves have
been able to observe the awakening
of their southern slaves is evidenced
by the fact that takers are now in
the field and, with the aid of the
bosses, are attempting to force the
miners to join the U.M.W.A. But
when bosses themselves tell the min
ers that they must join the UNI.

thought it was at the time they

1t is doubtful if there is any
other place in the world that is as
dependent on one industry as the
southern section of West Virginia
is on the mining industry.
Kanawha, Boone, Mingo, McDo-
we'll and Logan Counties depend al
most entirely on the production of
"black diamonds" and the "black re-
action" of the coal operators whose
police see to it that union agitators
are "sent down the road"
Under the iron rule of these oper-
ators' armed thugs, labeled as sher-
ifs and deputies, constables, state
city and town police, the miners
have been harnessed as serfs to the
job. Protest in any form against
treatment accorded or wages paid
means the loss of the job and in
many instances ga damn good trim

at so much per car, or, as they put
it "by the acre" Mine cars are of
the three and half to five ton
variety and the pay for such "tubs'
as these ranges from 65 to 80 cents
car. This means that the tonnage
rate is in some cases less than 20
cents ton, while day rates run
from IS to 60 cents an hour, sup
posedly on the basis of an eight
hour day but which, in reality, is a
ten, eleven and sometimes a twelve
hour day.
This is brought about by the fact
that drivers and motormen and
others engaged in the haulage Of
coal are compelled to stay in the
mine until their men are cleaned up
and there is no such thing as pay
for overtime.

and Relief.)
Many people who feel keenly and
sincerely the tragedy now being en-
acted in Charlotte, N. c., are hope
full in that the Gastonia defendants
seem to be getting a "fair trial"
In the measure that that hope rises
their effort to aid defense work
falls. In consequence, their optim-
ism is jeopardizing the defendants
chance for life and freedom.
What is "fair trial." 1t is OBJ
vious that it consists in interpreting
and applying the existing law hon
estly, without bias. But whose law
is it? The law that grew out of the
needs of the capitalist class, evolved
by them, administered by them or
their retainers. No judge would be
permitted to rule for five minutes
were he to fail in interpreting that
law on it's class basis. The honesty
of judge is not the dominant fac
tor in class war trial. The Gas
tonia case is class war case.
The prosecution-the mill owners
hold up the dead body of Chief of
Police o. F. Aderholt, that is pro-
duced by them as prima facia evil
dence. Killing resulted in conse-
quence of the workers organizing.
The culprit, then, is the right to
organize. Since that right took
physical form in the bodies of the
strike leaders, these leaders are
placed on trial for the murder of
Aderholt. Though no proof is at
hand that the defendants did the
killing, ample proof is at hand that
they did "conspire" to defend the
right to organize southern textile
workers into militant industrial
unions. The defendants are held on
a conspiracy charge to murder.
Those who are naive enough to
think that "a fair" trial is all suf-
ficient to acquit, are deluding them

Japanese i'm Hawaii
Increase Citizenship

A remarkable increase is noted by
the Japanese consulate in Honolulu in
the number of Hawaiian-born Japa-
nese who are expatriating themselves
from japanese citizenship and allegi-
ance. This is one direct result of the
act of the Japanese government in
1925 in promulgating new and simpli-
fled methods for such expatriation.
The action of Japan followed many
years of agitation by American-born
Japanese and representations to the
government both by Japanese and by
Americans. These felt that good rela-
tions between America and Japan
would be served by doing away with
such dual citizenship" OF course,
such children are full-fledged Ameri-
can citizens. The Japanese govern
ment in 1925 issued rules under which
1t Is easy either for parents to ex-
patriate their children from Japanese
citizenship or for these children them
selves to take action on reaching an
age when they could initiate their own
proceedings. The consulate records
show that 1894 Japanese born in the
territory have been expatriated-12,7 1872
of them since 1925. Most of the ex-
patriations are secured by the parents
an evidence that the elder generation
is coming to realize that Hawaii is their
permanent home and that the future
Of their children lies along American
ways.

Japanese Entertain
Visiting U. S. Writers

There are at least IL Americans who
within the last year have been con-
vinced that stories of overwhelming
japanese hospitality are not fiction
These are the members of the party
of newspaper men who were sent to the
Far East under the auspices of the Car
negie Foundation for International
Peace.
While in Japan their schedule was
handled by the foreign office, the South
Manchuria Railway and several large
travel organizations. In Toxic the
visitors had 10 days, and during this
time there were SO formal social en-
gagements.
One evening there was a slip and a
dinner had to be postponed. The Japa-
nese hosts apologized and could not be-
lieve that their guests could possibly
find any enjoyment In a free evening.
Banquets given by high government
officials. by official and private organi-
cations, theater parties and trips to out

usual thing during the stay of the

Italy Holds Ceremony
For Ice Cream Plant

Opening of the first ice cream fac
tory in Italy constituted an event Of
considerable importance. High gov
eminent and Fascist party off1cials par
ticipated and the Roman press devoted
columns to the ceremony. American
visitors to italy who have paid from 20
to 40 cents for portions of what was
served as ice cream will wonder what
they ate and why the noise about the
new factory. Some hotels and cafes
nave made authentic ice cream for their
clients, but ordinarily the "gelato"
served in public places had nothing in
common with American ice cream ex-
cept its property of coldness. Much of
this product was made from materials
and under circumstances which caused
the not too flnicky Italian health au-
thorities to close the shops. Rarely
was milk or eggs employed. Pasteur-
tied milk is still difficult to obtain
in most italian cities and of course
in the country and smaller towns 1t Is
unheard of. The novelty of the new
factory at Rome consists in its using
modern sanitary machinery for pas
teurizing the milk and throughout the
manufacture and distribution. The
manufacturers have initiated the Amer
lean ice cream industry in the use Of
advertising calling attention to the al
legged value of ice cream as a food.
Italians have long produced frozen
delicacies, such as cassata Siciliana-a
varicolored multifavored sweet with
fruit and nuts-but they have never
consumed ices or any kind of sweets
to the extent that Americans do. 1t
remains to be seen whether the new
campaign will change the national APP
petite. Owing to the high cost of sugar
and milk. the price of ice cream must
always remain relatively high in Italy.

GETS BELATED ACCLAIM
Lacking Joffre's Personality and Fochs
Charm, He Rebuilt an Army Under

on a single throw. His mind travelled
along the route of limited detectives
attained after perfect preparation and
at relatively insignificant cost. And his
soldiers. who probably never cheered
him, always trusted him.
Has Glory Now.
Now, at 70, Petrain is coming into
something of his own. The other day
when the President of the republic and
the prime minister made the pilgrimage
to Verdun to celebrate alike the thir-
tenth anniversary OF the dennltive
check of the German attack and the
complete reconstruction of the little
city, Petain appeared as the repre-
sentative of the army. Since Joffre Is
now broken and gone into permanent
retirement, there is none to divide the
glory with Petain.
Patiently they do those things better
in France. To perceive the difference,
one can only contrast the postwar
position of Foch, Petain and even OF
Joffre' in France with that OF Pershing
in America. We have given Pershing an
increased pay-check and higher rank
and sent him away, out of sight and
out of mind. Actually he remains
bigger figure in Paris or London than
in Washington. Yet PerShing, too,
made an army and led 1t to victory.
That history will rank Petain with
the greatest with Caesar, Frederick the
Great and Napoleon, or perhaps even
with Foch seems unlikely. But in the
second rank it seems that there can be
few to equal him. Moreover, 1t is an
odd paradox that this cold and purely
intellectual soldier will be remembered
forever for one of the most stirring
and brilliant of all military achieve
ments, the defense of Verdun. His
phrase-"on las aura" I'VE shall get
them" was alike the revelation of the
man and the finest expression OF the
spirit of his nation, the spirit that
ultimately enabled France and not Ger
many to endure through the last quarter
of an hour.
