COAL and IRON
POLICE FREED

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 20
Andrew MELONS three coal and
terday of numbering John Barkoski.
iron policemen were acquitted yes
a coal digger who had worked for
the Pittsburgh Coal Co., a Mellon
concern. Even the Mellon hireling,
DR.. Patterson, official physician for
Pittsburgh Coal, had been forced
to admit that the policeman had
vieiously tortured to death the
miner right before his eyes.
But Mellon men are taken care
of-his three private gunner, de-
Tended by prominent republican
machine attorneys, prosecuted half
heartedly by a minor member of
the district attorneys staff, tried
before a jury made up of business
men, three foremen of industrial
plants, ETC., and white-washed.
In belated attempt to cover up
the machinery operating in behalf
of the three Mellon hired thugs,
the prosecution yesterday denied
that it would quash the secondary
charge of involuntary manslaughter,
which would bring a negligible SEN
tence.
Lietenant Lycester, who, eye-wit-
nesses declare, beat Barkoski first
with his fists and then with a poker
until it was bent out of shape, and
twisted his nose even after it was
broken, averred in a snarling voice
that he never touched" the miner,
except to lift him to a chair where
the doctor could attend to him. The
gentle coal and iron policeman had
been convicted of murder in con-
nection with the killing of striker
during the 1922 coal strike, but was
pardoned soon after and enrolled in
the ranks of the coal company's
private army, which is licensed by
the state government and hired and
paid by the company directly.
The other two coal mad iron po-
licemen, Harold Watts and Frank
Slapikis, despite the evidence in
eliminating them in the brutal MUIR
der of Barkoski, were also white
washed.

N. Y. lid. IN new
CAMP AIGN FOR
MORE NE MBERS.
5000 by January /. Is
Quota

Eight thousand new members is
the quota assigned to the New York
District of the International Labor
Defense in the big nationwide drive
Of the I. L. D. for $4,000 new mem
bers by Jan. 1. The New York Dis
trio is the largest in the country
and includes Greater New York and
vicinity and all of New Jersey north
of Trenton.
The New York District already is
launching its drive and is planning
to call conferences, arrange meet
ings, both indoor and outdoor, and
to carry the campaign with par
ticular energy into the shops. Spe-
cial efforts will be made to enlist
Negro workers and Harlem, as well
as other Negro sections in the New
York District, will be the center of
intensive activity. At present the
New York District of the l. L. D.
has $4,000 members. AS result of
the present drive, it is hoped that
by Jan. this number will be $4,000.
In addition to individual men,
bers, efforts will be made to secure
new collective affiliations of work
ing class organizations.
The pivot of the drive in the New
York District will be the Gastonia
case. Starting on the eve of the
opening of the triel of 16 members
and organizers of the National Tex
tile Workers Union, the campaign
to save these victims of the mill
bosses conspiracy will be combined
with .le ampaign to build organ
nationally the International Labor
Defense, which is defending the
Gastonia strikers.
Those wishing to join the LID.
should write to its National Head
quarters, 80 E. 18th ST.. n. Y. c.,
enclosing twenty-five cents initia-
ton fee.

ing by the Communist Party. Leaf
lets explaining why working women
must support the Party will be dis
tributoed in all working class sec
tions. There will also be special
factory leaflets for such shops as
Nabisco and the paper box shops.
Street rallies in preparation for the
meeting will be held in the paper
box and needle trades markets the
week before. In this way the great
est possible number of working wo-
men will be modified for the meet
ing.
The United Councils of Working
Women are also planning neighbor-
hood rallies for the meetin. They
will issue special leaflets. Certain
days are set aside for canvasing the
neighborhood in support of the
Party.
A woman's election campaign con-
ference was held on August 81 at
which over so women delegates from
the shops and fraternal organiza-
lions were present. There women
represented many hundreds. Plans
were made and support pledged for
the Party election campaign. Each
delegate took contribution lists for
the campaign fund as well as "vote
Communist" buttons. The money is
already pouring in from these, show
ing the willingness of the women to
bcck the Party.
These activities Of the women
show that the women are eager to
follow the Party on the political as
we'll as the economi, field. The eff
forts to reach the women have been
greater this year than in any other
election campaign. Their success
proves the militancy of the working
yc-:cn.

THE WORKING WOMAN
Low Wages of Women Lowers Standard OF
Living for Workers

Comrade Moirowa, director of the
Women's Department of Executive
Committee of the Communist Inter
national, reported on the contions
of women workers and the tasks of
the Communists in reaching the
women at the Tenth Plenum of the
CT. held in Moscow in July.
She pointed out that women
workers have increased in all in
dustries. This increase is to be re-
corded not only in the performance
of work which is by tradition done
by women, such as in the textile
and clothing industries lin these
branches there is in fact even a
lessening of women workers) but
also in such industries as the chem
ical, machine building and even
mining.
"The growth in the employment
of women, it should be observed, is
accompanies by no increase in the
general run of workers and in some
cases even by a decline. The ear
nings of women, regardless of their
skill, are almost everywhere about
so per cent of the earnings of the
men. Is this not lowering of the
general standard of living of the
working class?"
Not only this, but women's wages
are, besides, going down, Comrade
Moirowa said. "The figures for 1928
clearly and definitely show that
wages of working women are being
cut"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-09-30

"The answer of the working wo-
men to the lowing of their standard
of living is a struggle and a rapid
revolutionaization," she said. "In
all countries we see women at the
most outstanding posts. l do not
want to enumerate the facts of
working women's actions, rs all of
you know them. You also know the
part played by working women in
the May Day events in Berlin, you
know the part played by the work
ing women in the demonstration of
the Wall of the Communars in Paris,
You know about the women tobacco
workers in Bulgaria, the cigarette
makers of Greece, the textile work
ers of Bombay, the workers of the
same industry in LODI, the Polish
rural women. What aroused the
working women to action? They
acted because their standard of liv-
ing was being deprecated.
Here is what a working woman
of Czechoslovakia said when threat
ened with eviction unless she went
back to work: Whas good are your
threats? All the same we have to
die. And we have a world to gain"
Since the time of this report, Ella
May Virgins has been killed by the
fascists of Gastonia. She was one
of the best examples of the spirit
mentioned by Comrade Moirowa in
the United States. Her example will
arouse the working women of the
country and of the world to see that
a similar fate does not meet the 16
defendants in the Gastonia boss-con-
trolled courts.

Boy Scouts Prepare War, Is
Eisman's Charge in Speech
Court Record Reveals Militancy of Pioneer
Now in Home: LID in Drive for Release

The courageous manner in which
Harry Eisman, 15-year-old Pioneer,
exposed the militarist role of the
Boy Scouts, has just been fully re-
vealed with the receipt by the New
York District of the international
Labor Defense of the stenographic
record of court proceedings during
Eisman's trial before Magistrate
George O'Keefe in Children's Court,
August 2.
Eismsn is now in the Jewish Guar
dams Home in Hawthorne, Pa, to
which he was remanded by Magis-
trate O'Keefe until Jan. 20, 1880,
because he took an active part in
the protest demonstration against
the Boy Scouts Jamboree, July 20.
The sentence involved the threat
that if Eisman doesn't behave" he
will be further remanded until he
drops his militant ideas. The New
York District of the LID, which
defended Eisman, is appealing the
sentence. The appeal will be ar
gued in the supreme court of the
State of New York, Appellate Divi-
sion, sometime in October by
Jacques Buitenkant, attorney for
the LID.
Exposes Boy Scouts.
When the magistrate asked Els
man to explain why the protest
against the Boy Scouts was made,
he said when we decided that we
were going to protest against the
leaving of the Boy Scouts on the
international Jamboree-it is not
the first affair we have had. Our
policy, the policy of the Young
Pioneers of America, nationally, not
locally, is to smash the Boy Scouts,
since it is an organization built and
controlled by the ruling class.
"The Jamboree, according to the
Boy Scouts of America, is supposed
to, as you say, be a step towards
friendship and peace, but under the
cloak of phrases it is not merely a
Jamboree whereby they will prepare
the children for peace and good will,
but it is really a step forward in

Some of the girls work from 5 in

now they average about $11. Only

London. June 25.-tP-Two United
States ambassadors, Charles q. Dawes
and Hugh 8. Gibson, were in confer
ence at the American embassy this
morning on problems of the American
government and its international re-
lationS.
The ambassadors. one of whom Is
accredited to Great Britain and the
other to Belgium, were understood to
be discussing the general European
situation and the special topic Of
naval disarmament. It was believed
generally the meeting of the two en-
voys was another step In the move
ment for fixation of a naval strength
standard. the outstanding question
between the two English speaking ma
tons.
At the embassy it was expected Am
bassador Gibson would remain In
London until Thursday, continuing
his conversations with General Dawes.
Their meetings, however, will have an
interruption tomorrow when Ambas-
sador Dawes will 60 to Oxford to re-
ceive an honorary degree from All
