Class Discrimination
Makes Workers Ride
Slow Freight Elevator
(By a Worker Correspondent

When workers dressed in overalls
or dirty work clothes want to ride
up in the passenger elevator of the
Greeley Square Building they have
to use the freight elevator. The
passenger elevator stops at the 14th
floor first so that the workers who
have to work on the 14th floor
and above would ordinarily be at
their jobs in two or three minutes.
As it is these workers often have to
ride for five minutes or more until
they reach the floor where they are
working. Although the offices in
the building are not as yet opened
the rule is not yet in force. When
I was refused admission to the pas
senger elevator there were about
three people there, although the
elevator holds about 20. Soon after
the elevator started with the same
three people. The workers should
organize against this discrimina-
ton. This is the only way this class
discrimination will be wiped out.

Soviet Press Scores Latin

Answer Says the Soviet Paper, "Izvestia'

BERLIN, Dec. 10.-The Soviet
press arriving here is loaded with
caustic comment and cartoons, re-
ferring to the passage of notes be-
tween the United States and the
Soviet Union, on the conflict in
Manchuria. The ridicule heaped
upon Stimson by the American
press (the American capitalist press
scoring Stimson for his failure eff
fectively to advance United States
imperialist interests) is generously
quoted.
Much attention is given to the fact
that the puppet governments of
Latin-America whose peoples are
oppressed and whose lands are in
Iaded by American armed forces,
Participated in the United States
Tote threatening the Soviet Union
on account of its firm stand against
attack on its Manchurian frontier.
The official organ of the Soviet gov
eminent, the "Izvestia," for exam
pie, states in part:
"The support given the United
States note by Panama, Cuba, Mex
leo and Santo Domingo, will hardly
lessen the confusion of the United
States government. The independ-
ence Of these countries and their
self-reliance in the matter of for
eign policy is open to grave doubt,

fies him. This is the more surpris-
ing because Brown testified at the
coroner's inquest over Downey that
he didn't know who shot. Also,
Accorsi worked for about a year
within few miles of Cheswick
after the attack on the miners
meeting, and was not at the meet
ing anyway.
The prosecution placed on the
stand one, Ondrew Coplan, a miner
spy for the coal operators, who tes-
titled that he saw Downey shot. He
said that he was looking from the
store window nearby. When asked
in court whether he could identify
anybody as the one who shot the
policeman, Coplan went through the
business of looking all around the
room for a victim, and then with
simulated surprise pointed out Ac-
corsi, the prisoner, at the bar.
The defense, in cross-examination,
was able to bring out numerous dis
crepancies between the stories told
by Brown and other troopers and
Coplan.

METAL miners
prepare FIGHT
Map Plans at N. M. U.
Convention in Mich.

DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 10.-Duluth
will be the scene of an event i'm
portant in American workingclass
history-the first convention Of the
metal miners in this district. The
metal miners, as an answer to the
increasing attacks on their condi-
tions by the bosses, and in order to
carry out the fight on the blacklist
and spy system, through building
strong union, are joining the Ma
tional Miners Union, under whose
auspices the metal miners conven-
ton will be held on Sunday morning,
December Is, in Duluth. All N. M.
U. locals and all unorganized miners
have been urged to send delegates.
At the convention the N. NJ. U.
will be organized among the metal
workers upon a district basis. The
convention will formulate the de-
mands of the metal miners, will pre-
pare an organizational campaign
for the immediate future and will
discuss the program of the Trade
Union Unity League with which the
N. M. U. is affiliated.
The conditions of the copper and
iron miners of Michigan, Minnesota
and Wisconsin are growing steadily
worse. The attack of the bosses on
the workers wages and living con-
ditions becomes harder and harder.
Thousands of miners have been
thrown out of work in the past
years and months by the bosses
speed-up, the use of new machinery,
new methods of work and speeding
up the workers. But while these few
er metal miners are working harder
and faster and producing more,
their wages are lower than ever and
their hours are just as long.
These are the conditions which are
sanctioned by the A. F. of L., but
which the metal miners, led by the
N. M. u, propose to put an end to.

FISHWICK TO SCAB.

Fishwick, head Of the United Mine
Workers Union in Illinois, has
promised to scab in the present
statewide strike of the Illinois
miners. But Fishwick, because of
his present quarrel with his old as
sociate, International President
Lewis of the U. M. w. A, in the
last issue of the Fishwick official
organ, the Illinois Miner, prints
some reminders about the union
smashing and strike breaking done
by Lewis. Frank harrington, who
got $25,000,000 a year from the
Peabody Coal Co., and was expelled
for it while in office at Fishwick's
predecessor and chief, tells how
Lewis tried to betray the strike of
the Kansas miners when they fought
the anti-strike law. He says very
little about the heroic struggle of
the miners, but lauds Howatt, then
president of the Kansas district.
That is because Howatt has now be-
trayed his militant past and lines
up with Fishwick.
And on another page Fishwick's
paper tells of the smashing of the
Nova Scotia "Bezco" strike by
Lewis, and his sending of a gang
of rum uzzling pirates there, to
loot the district under the pretense
of being its provisional administra-
ton"

good record on the machine they will
be given a good job.
Other men are given brides to
produce records---such as cigars,
cigarettes and clothing-and those
fools accept the inducements. When
those men set the pace the manage
ment compels all men in the mine
to equal the record. The boss also
compels the rate settlers to keep up
to their own records, which is i'm
possible under this pressure. The
men either quit, broken-down physi-
cally, or are discharged when they
are unable to produce the goods.
Three men at this mine load as
much as 48 two-ton cars. This in
itself doesn't seem unreasonable, but
this coal is actually loaded by two
men.
The third man chunks cars, runs
the machine and pushes the loaded
car to the switch-work formerly
done by muIes-and brings back the
empty car. While he has been do
ing this the breakers keep on scoop
ing on the machine.
The men know it is impossible to
find employment in any other in
dustry, so they stick, stick till the
last bit of energy is gone. Many
men quit inspite of the fact that no
jobs are TO be had. "I'd a damn

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (By MaiD.-
At Riverton, the company, after
having the mine closed for several
months, informed the men that
when they resumed operations it
would be with the machines, and all
the men were told they were to
make applications for the new jobs.
In this way the company was able
to dispose of the old, physically
weak and those who would fight for
their rights on the job,employing
only the young, husky fellows. The
officialdom of the U. M. w. A.
sanctioned this procedure.

Haiti Revolt Grows;
More Marines Sent

Continued from Page One)
Haitian officer in the service of
Wall Street, was rougly handled by
rebels.
President Louis Borno, who is
kept in power by the armed support
of marines and battleships, issued
manifesto today thanking Wall
Street for numbering the revolving
workers and peasants.
Over 1000 marines are now on
their way to Haiti to add to the al
ready large force now there. Secret
detachments are being sent daily to
insure American domination. The
Haitian peasants are poorly armed
while the 1000 marines have the
latest war equipment, including
bombing planes, high-powered ma
chine guns, poison gas instruments,
etc.
Ever since 1915 President Borno,
with the aid of the marines, has
been disarming the peasantry be-
cause of the realization that the
masses never have and never will
docilely accept Wall Street rule
the Negro Republic of Haiti.
PARIS, Dec. 10.-The French
capitalist press is berating "peace
pact"- Stimson for his violation of
the Kellogg pact and the independ-
ence of Haiti. The French imperial
lists have an interest in Haiti, and
feel they could get business advan-
tages if Wall Streets domination
were relinquished.
"Liberte," the organ of the
French fascists says:
"What has happened in this ISL
and to the right of the self-deter-
mination of peoples? 1t is possible
that American occupation has been
continued for the good of the Hal
tians. But they apparently do not
want their finances kept in good or
der. They do not want factories or
sky-scrapers. What they want is in
dependence"
The organ of the leading French
imperialists, journal DIES Devats,
declares:
''It is incontestable that Ameri-
can occupation, which has lasted
Is years, irritates the islanders,
who realize that the independence
of their country, which is a member
of the League of Nations and a sig
natory Of the Kellogg pact, has be-
come fictitious"
