ARTICLE III.

BICKNELL, Indiana (By MaiD -
The District Convention of the Ma
tional Miners Union, in session here
continued on its third day to hear
the report of the committee on reso-
lutions. The convention adopted
resolution unanimously condemning
and pledging a struggle against the
cooperative mine" swindle which
has invaded Indiana. The resolu-
ton declared that "the so-called Co
operative system of mining, is far
from a genuine cooperative enter
prises, controlled, operated and
directed by the workers, but is
gigantic and colossal swindle en-
gineered by the small and indie
pendent operators who are commenc-
ing to feel the sting of consolidation,
mergers and concentration of the in
dustry in the hands of corporations,
thereby affording these tadpole
operators an opportunity to crawl
from under in time; such schemes
serve to thwart and prevent the COM
plete unionization of the miners;
fosteres the false illusions of "work-
ers control of industry" under CAPT
talism; serve to reduce wages, liqui-
date conditions and generally set the
pace for low standards" The reso-
luton states that the only positive
way for the miners to better their
conditions is by building their union,
the N. NJ. U. into a powerful weapon,
to force concessions from the en-
Iployers.
Lewis Aids Wage Cutting.
A resolution against wage cuts
was unanimously adopted. The reso-
luton instructs all N. M. U. mem
bers to fight wage cuts by strikes
wherever possible. 1t states: "The
Lewis machine of the defunct United
Mine Workers of America, in league
with the mineowners, are responsible
for forcing numerous wage cuts on
oh the miners. The Indiana con-
tract reducing wages from $3.50 to
$3.50 accepted by Lewis, engineered

dent, now company official,

ness to fight unitedly and militantly
against American and world impe-
rialism, against imperialist and
counter Revolutionary wars, for the
defense of the Soviet Union, and for
the improvement of the general
economic and political conditions of
the working youth.
International Youth Day, as day
of struggle of the revolutionary
youth, must be linked up concretely
with the every day struggles of the
American workers, especially of the
youth. The demonstrations on In
ternational Youth Day must also be
demonstrations for the release of the
militant fighter in U. S. army-John
Porter, and for the defense and I'M
conditional release of the Gastonia
strikers, the majority of whom are
young workers.
International Youth Day cannot
be considered as an anti-imperialist
campaign of merely one week or one
day. International Youth Day is a
continuation of Red Day august

against imperialist war and for the
