1.-THE organization campaign and
preparations for active struggle for
the six hour day, better wages, no
discrimination, against the check

other demands got a great impetus
from the successful sub-district con-
ferences held yesterday in four diff
ferent coal centers of Illinois, Ma
tional Miners Union district officials
said here today.
The conferences rallied mass sup
port from not only N.M.U. locals
but many United Mine Workers OF
America locals which had abandoned
the Fishwick and Lewis machines
but had not yet come over to the
militant new unions. These locals
were given an opportunity to par.
ticipate on an equal basis with the
N.M.U. locals in formulation of the
policies of struggle.
Issue Statement
A proclamation to all officers and
members of the Illinois District of

RITLLETIN-

At the time of going to press, re-
ports of large open air meetings of
New York workers, led by the Com
munist Party on Armistice Day were
received.
At meeting on Second Ave. and
Tenth ST., about $50 workers heard

Party, and Ben Intrator, for the
Young Communist League. address
large gathering of workers. They
described the capitalist war plans.
BULLETIN.
Three hundred workers applauded
the demand of Communist speakers
at Pitkin Ave-, and Stone, Browns
vile, that the coming imperialist
war be turned into civil war. Police
and Zionist-fascists hOvered about all
set to break the meeting, but the
militancy of the workers stopped
them.
Armistice Day yesterday resulted
in the expected jingoistic speeches
by President Hoover, the commander
Of the American Legion, and various
state governors and lesser agents
of the wealthy owners of the U. S.
empire. Similar speeches were
made in England, where the Prince
of Wales addressed an assemblage
of the British military and ex-of-
ficers, and in other capitalist coun-
tries. President Hoover's calm
declaration against British imperial
ism's cherished right of search,
seizure and blockade was the out
standing point in these addresses of
the war makers, and is certain to
bring some hot replies from abroad.
The Communist Party held mass
meetings in many cities, ten in New
York, to explain the nature of the
forces working toward new world
war and expose the role of pacifism,
the socialists, and the A. F. L. bu-
reauerats as agents of these wal
makers. Defense of the Soviet
Union and workers self-defense
against bosses terror was as clearly
demanded by the Communist speak
ers as at workers mass meetings,
further attack on the U. S. S. R.
and the whole working class was
indicated by the official addresses
of state and corporation heads in
the military ceremonies.
