Copper Miners Ready to Contest

DULUTH, Mimi, May 26.-Under
the leadership of the National
Miners Union, the copper miners
of the Great Lakes fields will fight
the ten per cent wage cut announced
for July l.
A very successful conference of
the metal miners, with delegates
from all parts of the Northern
Minnesota and Michigan fields was
held here yesterday. 1t was called
by the district office of the NM.U.

comes June %.
The district here contains iron
mines, even more important than
the copper deposits, and the scene
of terrific strikes conducted with
much militancy, during the period
of the I.W.W.
Since the collapse of the Wobbly
organization, the copper and iron
miners have both been without or
ganization, and regime of brutal
exploitation and suppression has
been instituted, with plenty of labor
spies, and plenty of wage cuts and
accidents in the mines.

The worsening economic situation

the growing terror of the bosses. The

TO SENTENCE
FLAIANI june II
Trial of Eight Others
Up June 2

NEWARK, N. j., May 26.-Sen-
tence of Dominick Flaiani, Commun,
list Party organizer convicted OF
sedition here last Friday was post
poned to June II when he appeared
today before Judge Walter Van
Ripper IN the Court of Quarter SEES
sions.
He can be sentenced to II years
under the two indictments on which
he was convicted. The trial of the
eight other workers arrested at the
same unemployment meeting as
Flaiani apd also indicted for sedi-
ton will start June 2. It is be-
lieved that the sentence was post
poned until after the other trials
take place, so if the workers are
convicted they can all be sent to
prison at one time.
Flaiani was the principal speaker
at a protest demonstration attended
by 500 workers held Saturday after
noon in Military Park under the
joint auspices of the International
Labor Defense, Communist Party,
Young Communist League and the
Trade Union Unity League.
although I have been convicted
for urging a struggle by Negro and
white workers against unemploy-
ment," Flaiani told the assembled
Negro and white jobless who made
up large part of his audience, "the
fight will continue. The Communist
Party and the Trade Union Unity
League will unite the workers who
will demand work or wages until
the powers that be will be connelled
to listen to our demands. The ar
rest of the eight other workers AMI
myself will not stop the agitation
which will go on until under the
leadership of the Communist Party
the workers will have established
their own workers and farmers ~ov-
eminent. Join US in our fight which
will do away with unemployment
and starvation"
While the police attempted to pre-
vent the taking up of a collection
$35 was collected to help the Inter
national Labor Defense appeal the
case and defend the other workers
facing trial.
Other speakers at the meeting
were Elias Marks, Communist

CRISIS IN China
GETTING WORSE
Silver Price Drops to
Lowest in 100 Years

The worst break of the year in
the London and the local silver mar
kets occurred Monday. Shanghai
tael dropped 1873 points lower and
the Hongkong unit dropped so
points. Silver in London dropped
Is d. to the lowest in over 100 years
of recorded daily history and in the
local market the price of silver also
reached the lowest in history.
1t is reported that the drop in
London is the result of heavy SELL
ing in China which is in turn the
result of the breaking down of ex-
ports and the increase of imports,
particularly of grain. This unusual
situation again testifies to the ter
rible economic crisis in China and
the new drop is sure to deepen the
crisis and hasten the revolt of the
masses.
