MACDONALD RULE
Smash Ministry Pane;
Uproar in Commons

LONDON, England, July 28.-A
great crowd of unemployed workers
surged up to the government Of
fices at No. 10 Downing St., and
broke three windows, as a protest
against the brutal treatment of the
jobless by MacDonald's labor party
government. Three were arrested
One was carrying baby, and had
come from Wales, looking for work
The unemployed were trying to
get into the ministry of labor to in
terview the secretary of labor
Bondfield, but police barred them.
Proceedings in the House of Com
mons were brought to a standstill
when an unemployed man rose in
the gallery and shouted: GAS a
member of the national deputation
of the unemployed to the ministry
of labor, indict this government
for its scandalous Treatments of the
unemployed. They have been per-
secuted under the labor govern
ment."

the Trade Union Unity Convention
as the beginning of real struggle.
The offensive of the bosses is be-
ing answered with courage and mil
itancy by the textile workers in the
south, by the auto workers in De-
troit, and street car men in New
Orleans. In all of these struggles
the youth has been in the fore
front.
Hundreds Of delegates have al
ready been elected by unions and
shop committees to the Cleveland
convention. Shop and mill commit
tees are being organized on a ma
tional scale as the skeleton of new
militant unions. In all factories and
unions, the young workers are urg-
ed to hold mass meetings to elect
their own committees and delegates
to this convention.
Problems of Youth Many.
The young workers conference of
the Trade Union Unity Convention
will have real task before it. Some
of the demands it will discuss will
be:
1, Six hour day for young work
ers under IS years.
2. Four weeks vacation with pay
each year.
8. Unemployment of all unemploy-
ed and vocational training and gen.
eral education in factory schools for
young workers under II years at the
regular trade union wages.
a. Unemployment relief and So
cial insurance.
5. $40 minimum weekly wage
for all young workers.
6. Against the speed-up system,
gangsystem, abolition of piece
work, against the speed-up of the
belt-15 minute rest intervals twice
daily, etc.
Real Task.
The young worker delegates at
the Cleveland convention have a
real task before them. They must
take up and decide how to organ
ize the 100000 young workers
in industry, how to activize and
build the youth sections of the
unions, how to combat Child Labor,
how to struggle against the A. F.
of L., and how to mobilize the
young workers for the defense of
the Soviet Union and against i'm
perialist wars and militarism.

Der Of guards and officials are re-
ported to have been fatally wound
ed during the fighting. The num-
Der of prisoners wounded or dead is
unknown.
The flames, which the authorities
assert were kindled by the prison
ers as part of a plot to seize the
Jail preparatory to escaping, broke
out at lis p. m. Troopers were i'm
mediately rushed from over the en-
tire northern part of the state.
Soon the fire was raging through
the prison buildings for sympathiz-
ers outside cut the fire hose and,
though the firemen used their axes
against the friends of the fighters
inside, they were virtually unable to
fight the flames.
Police and military authorities, ma
tional guardsmen and all available
troopers, with heavy supplies of am
munition and arms, including tear
gas and machine guns, were rushed
in fast motor cars to the scene of
the fighting and fire.
Posses were hurriedly organized
in a man hunt for the prisoners who
had succeeded in escaping from the
burning Jail.
The spread of the fire to the wom-
ems section of the prison caused a
wild outburst among the women.
Streams of water played upon them,
rather than the flames, by the fire
men failed to intimidate the women
who battled with the men for their
freedom.
Machine guns were turned upon
the struggling masses of women and
poison gas bombs were hurled
among them. Their fumes, mingled
with those of smoke and fire were
still unable to COW the insurrection.
Wires between the prison build
ings are alleged to have been cut
when the fire broke out and hamp-
cred the repressive work of the
troopers and jailers.
Auburn is one of the foulest jails
in the state and the prisoners in it
live under unbelievably intolerable
conditions.

terra strikers was promised during
the early fall, and preparations to-
ward this end will begin at once,
Michael Obermeier. organizer of the
union, said.
Most significant of all was the
announcement at the meeting that
the union had increased its member
ship by over 1000 since the strike
began. The struggle, which was
one of the most militant in many
years, was carried on in the face
of repeated court injunctions
against mass picketing, wholesale
arrests and brutal sluggings of
workers. Strikers repeatedly vio-
lated the injunctions against mass
picketing, the sentiment of them be-
ing reflected by the declaration
made by one of the workers to a
judge who had sentenced him for
picketing. 81 take my orders from
my union, not from you," he told
the black-robed judicial agent of the
bosses.
Greet Jailed Workers.
During the entire strike, the
American Federation of Labor,
through its fake "Food Council"
engaged in active scabbing.
The meeting also sent a message
of greeting and expression of solid
arity to five workers now in prison
as result of their activities during
the strike. These workers are Cor
nelius, Stevenson, Taylor, Blumberg
and Rosinari.
Pickets Freed.
Five strikers arrested Thursday
for picketing the Ideal Cafeteria,
113 E. 23rd street, were Friday re-
leased with suspended sentences.
Picketing still continues at this
place where the full crew walked
out last Tuesday under the leader

policemen are stationed before the
place in an effort to terrorize the

Free Mineylch,.
Addresses Meet
? Hours After

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July %. -
Anthony Minerich, militant mine
leader, was yesterday released from
the Schuylkill county jail through
the efforts of the International La
Dor Defense, and two hours later
addressed a meeting of 800 miners
in Girardsville in district 9 of the
United Mine Workers.
Minerieh was arrested during a
meeting at Coalville last Sunday.
When Kelly, the sub-district presi-
dent of the U. M. A. and his bench
men attempted to jump on Charles
Miscanage, a young militant, whom
Kelly declared was from another
union whose purpose was "to divide
the Miners" Minerich leaped into
The press box and spoke. He was
Immediately pulled down and jailed.
Minerich had time, however, to
III the men that he favored the
srike and hoped they would extend
it to all the mines in the Anthracite
and urged to go to the railroads and
stop them heauling scab coal.
Minerich was sent to the Coalville
Jail where Kelly preferred charges
against him, urging that he be held
for about two years.
Minerich refused to pay his fine
and costs, $3.50, and was then sent
to the county Jail where costs in
creased to 500.
Under Pennsylvania law, a pris-
oner who refuses to pay must serve
one day for each dollar of the fine.
The judge violated the law by hold
ing Minerich until the payment of
the money, and also thirty-five cents
for each day in Jail, presumably
board.
The international Labor Defense
attorney sharply pointed this out
to the squire in a letter demanding
Minerich's release. The letter
brougt real tears to the squire's eyes
as he lead the charges against him
and thought he saw his job flying
off.
