Police Unite With
Lovestone Gang and
Arrest 7 Workers

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 25.--
Seven comrades were arrested here
last night at the instigation of the
counter revolutionary Lovestone
renegades. Ben Lifshitz, who per-
sonally called the police to arrest
the members of the Communist
Party. Speakers for the renegade
Lovestoneites at the meeting told
the communist workers present "to
go to their 'nigger' friends"
The meeting was a failure. The
few workers present were aroused
against the renegade Lovestonites,
who relied on the capitalist police
as an argument to the embarrassing
questions put to them.
The Lovstonites got petty
bourgeois restaurant keeper to press
the charges against the arrested
comrades. Those arrested are Fla
iani, Carlo, Smith, Levinson, Muir
dock, Goldstein and Rinkowski. The
counter revolutionist Laebovetz
who was the chairman Of the Love-
stone meeting, personally called
upon the police to arrest Comrade
Flaiani.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 25.--
The National Miners Union,
through its national executive board,
which was in session here yester-
day, calls a national convention on
broad base of militant miners to
meet April 1. The place of the
meeting will be announced later.
This will be a real mass conven-
tion, prepared for by a series of
district conferences, and drawing in
representation of the unorganized.
However, the national board
recognized that an earlier emer-
gency convention may be necessary,
because of the strike situation in
Illinois. Miners in many mines,
even where they still formally be-
long to the United Mine Workers

over local grievances.
