New York LID. Gives $500 for Fur Workers

In. response to the appeal Of the
national office Of the International
Labor Defense for funds for the
defense Of the victims of the Nine
ola frame-up, the New York District
of the LID. has been the first to
make a contribution. The New York
District has contributed $500 for
the defense of the nine fur workers
involved in this case.
Two Of the victims of the Mineola
frame-up have already been sent to
Jail to serve their sentences of from
two and a half to five years. The
other seven workers will come up
for new trial January % before
the same Ku Klux Khan judge in
Mineola, L. l., who sentenced them
previously. A bitter fight will have
to be waged to save these seven
workers and to force the release Of
the other two, it is pointed out by
international Labor Defense, and
funds are urgently needed.

will be used more than ever before
in the next war, they can go to sleep
with the consolation that the new
gases now being experimental with
will be painless and expeditions, put
ting to death large sections of peo-
pie without violent physical reac-
tions.
The military general staff of i'm
perialism promises US a humane"
war as the next step in the history
of capitalist exploitation and de-
spoilation; sharpnel that will tear
the human body, not into pieces, but
into infinitesimal shreds; gases that
will not kill by asphyxiation, but by
a sweet and exhilarating push into
Paradise; bullets that will cut the
human body in half, as tho it were
paper; bombs that will not leave
cities torn and bleeding, but wipe
them out as if they never existed;
bacteria, manufactured by the scien-
lists of the new imperialist culture,
that will disseminate pestilence over
the face of the earth like the ten
plaques Of Moses. Thus Technology,
Imperialism and Social Democracy
(super-imperialism, the newer CAPT
talism) combine to prepare the next
slaughter of workers.
The workers in reply to the plans
for this gigantic massacre must COM
pletely achieve the program Of the
Communist International, defeat of
the home country, turning the i'm
perialist war into civil war, and fl
nally the establishment Of a prole-
tartan dictatorship.
The accomplishment of this aim
involves the most difficult tasks for
all Communist Parties, means the
steeling of the Party structure for
the shock. imposes the necessity Of
sinking the Communist roots deep
into the economic life Of the masses
and preparing them under Commu-
mist leadership for the new events.

war, be forever abo'isn-

set like granite against wrongs to
our people. To build the N. M. U.
means building bulwark of defense
for the Negro miners.
Full Rights in N. M. u.
The Negro miner is an integral
part of the mining industry. 1t is
the policy of the N. M. U. that he
should not only be part of the in
dustrial division, but of the Execu-
tive Department itself. A special
representative of the Negro miners
sits as a member of the Executive
Board of the N. M. U. to guarantee
our people representation. In the N.
M. U. the Negro is not just dues
paying member, silent, bulldozed,
Disseminated, but an active, leading
part of the directing councils of the
organization itself.
| have faith in my Negro brother
that when he is convinced the above
is the actual situation, then he will
be as good, if not a better, union man
than the next one. When he sees
representatives of his race in the
field organizing them, in official ca
pacities and otherwise, standing
shoulder to shoulder with the white
workers-then he will know a new
day is here for the Negro miner. So
it is, in the N. M. U. The N. M. u.
is asking him not only to help build,
but help control.
Negro brothers! Join our ranks!
Bull the union to defend yourselves.
Help US fight against the wrongs
done to our people. Join forces with
the militant, class-conscious white
miners in the N. M. U. Help make
it strong and powerful for your own
protection.

rORRELATIVE with the tremen-
y dous stride made by American
capitalist industry in the form Of
new inventions and naturalization
since the war, has also proceeded the
changes in military tactics and or
ganization now generally called the
mechanization of the army.
These changes have taken place
in three directions: development of
new instruments of destruction, inn
provement Of the old; introduction Of
new transport methods to facilitate
mobilization and conveyance of the
troops to the front, thereby increas-
ing enormously the battle sectors;
and thirdly, plans for the transfer
nation of industry and factories into
one huge unit for the production Of
war supplies and munitions under the
direction of centralized military in
dustrial bureaus, directed by altru-
istic "dollar-a-year" patriots.
Examples of new inventions are
the new airplane carriers recently
launched by the U. S. navy, carry
ing from five to thirteen scout and
bombing planes, with perhaps a dir
igible added. Thus instead of con-
Quoting sea battles within the radius
of the battleships' guns, sea encoun-
ters can take place at several hun
bred miles distant from either side.
The development of aeroplanes and
aviation in conjunction with new
technic in communication thru radio,
wireless telephony and other i'm
provements has already transformed
the entire world into one battlefield.
The Carnegie Endowment for Inter-
national Peace places the death Of
non-combatants during the last war
at about $4,000, 900, the same amount
Of killed being estimated for the SOL
diers. It is safe to say that the civil
dead during the next war will be
tremendously larger than the amount
Of soldiers killed.

Why Every Negro Miner Should Join the
National Miners Union

stitution this clause: "There shall
be no discrimination against a fell
low worker on account of creed, color
or nationality, ETC." There isn't a
Negro miner in America that doesn't
know the above words didn't amount
to anything, were not worth the pa
per they were printed on, for in
deeds discrimination was rank every
where.
Boss Discrimination.
When a Negro looks for work in
the mines, many of them cannot stick
their heads in, while those that do
get work usually receive the worst
place in the mine, dangerous and un-
fit to work in. In the old days, when
he would apply to his U. M. w. A.
local for redress, the local would
send him to the district, the district
would send him back to the local,
which in turn would refer it again
to the district, which then might say
they would take it up with the Inter-
national office! So went the ducking
and shifting. And that was the last
ever heard of the grievance" If
you asked convention delegate any
thing concerning these conditions, he
would reply that Lewis would not
permit any racial questions to be
discussed. Why, I ask, should the
Negro miner be part to, or support
a machine, or help support an or
ganization in which he finds no voice
or protection?
Worst Houses, Same Rent.
In the mining towns where there
are company houses-the Negroes
get the worst, but pay the same
amount of rent. The dirtiest, filthiest
of work is given to them. They are

A chance conversation with SOL
der on furlough elected some inter-
esting facts on changes in the infan-
try. All army units, forts, coast
defense, etc., have been put on
motor transport basis. Target prac-
tice hitherto conducted three times
year on foot, takes place once
year and the soldiers are carried to
the range in motor trucks. A new
machine gun fires 255 bullets a min
ute, from a so calibre muzzle. At
night the bullet is phosphorescent,
allowing it to be seen until it strikes.
In the daytime the bullet leaves a
continuous line Of smoke.
Mounted on truck, these machine
guns are harnessed in groups of four,
synchronized on one trigger, thus
permitting one soldier to fire 1920
bullets a minute. Target practice

bounded, prosecuted, ostracized and
Disseminated. Is it a wonder the
Negroes are bitter? But my Negro
brothers must learn, as the white
worker must learn as we'll, it is the
tactic of the employer to keep the
black and white separated for then
he can beat down both at will.
An article in the U. M. w. A. Jour-
nal referred to the Negro miner as
a strikebreaker from the cotton fields
and bore the sentiment that he was
a habitual scab. Negroes are not
habitual scabs. They are not habitual
strikebreakers, but are used cleverly
by the employers against the white
workers because of the resentment
in the hearts of the black workers
over the bounding, discrimination,
ETC., accorded them by the white
workers. Not all the Negroes in the
scab fields are from the cotton
fields. Thousands of them are from
organized territories, driven from
there because of the discrimination
and suffering accorded them.
Lewis and Company did not and
do not want the Negro miners. 1t
is matter of record that U. M. w.
A. hoodlums broke up various N.
M. U. meetings in the Pittsburgh
district, shouting "You have niggers
with you, yes" because there was a
Negro speaker on the platform
Isaac Munsey, vice-president, N. M.
u, Pittsburgh, Pa.)
But the N. M. U. wants the Negro
miners. We are all workers, our
sufferings are alike, our division is
because of the tactics of the employ
ers and the stupidity of some white
workers. The N. M. U. has it's face

on sandbags (much tougher than the
human body) proved them to be the
most destructive type of machine
gun yet invented.
Very little emphasis is being
placed on bayonet practice. And the
American government is rapidly
building up its numerical fighting
strength. Definite monthly quotas
are added to the army and navy.
The quotas are larger for the navy,
in preparation for the trial of naval
supremacy between England and
United States.
However, of outstanding signifi-
canoe is the development of chemical
warfare. In the next war, Olgin's
story, Cas-" will be more than mere
fiction. Already the military cynics
at Washington are assuring the
workers, that altho poisonous gas

Something must be done" All those
of militant spirit were urged to do
that something. I, for one, felt that
I owed it to myself, to my fellow
workers and to my Negro race most
especially, to do something which
might be of benefit to US all. When
the fighting Save the Union Com
mittee began to spread its news the
majority of miners listened with
anxious ears-for the message of the
committee was genuine and correct.
We entered that movement heart and
soul, and remained in the front until
the tide turned and the National
Miners Union, fighting, determined
and militant, appeared upon the hor-
lion.
Hail New Union.

together with their white fellow
workers the National Miners Union
as an organization that means more
to the Negro miner than any that
has ever existed in the U. S. A. be-
fore. Every Negro should join the

fights vigorously for full economic,
political and social equality for them.

THIS HAS HAPPENED

Ashtoreth Ashe, sitting on deck
with her fiance, the rich and Ia
nous Hollis Hart. receives a wire
less from Monty English. her boy
friend from Boston.
Ashtoreth has just gotten her
self engaged to Hollis. who Is
without doubt. the most eligible
bachelor in America. Before they
met at Dominica Ia little island
in the West Indies) Ashtoreth mad
worked for Mr.. Hart in his bos-
ton office. Taking dictation. and

humble, but exceedingly beautiful
young stenographer
She was cruising through the
Indies, following severe Illness
when, quite by accident. she met
MIR. Hart again. From that mo-
ment, Ashtoreth made the most
of her opportunities.
Hollis made love. and thrilled her
to death. But it took regular hur-
ricane to make him actually pro-
pose. For a whole day. and half a
night, they were alone in little
house on the mountain. while the
storm ragged and howled.
They are on their way home now
and planning to be married IN Bos-
ton. Sometimes Ashtoreth thinks OF
Sadie Morton, friend of her child
hood. who tried to blackmail Mr..
Hart, and did, actually, succeed IN
sepsrating him from $4,000. She
thinks, too. of Maizie, her dear.
commonplace mother. And OF Mon
ty English, who used to be her
sweetheart.
But Ashtoreth can usually dis
miss unpleasant memories. She is
planning her honeymoon with liol-
lis, when a cabin boy delivers a
