PITTSBURGH, Pa, May b.
Two miners were killed and a
score injured in an explosion late
today in the P. & w. mine at
Avella. The company employs
mostly Negroes. The National
Miners Union pit committee
there is issuing a leafIet expos
ing the nOn-existence of safety
conditions and calling the men to
fight against the recent wage cut.
SCRANTON, Pa, May 15.-The
National Miners Union tri-district
(anthracite) conference meets in
Hazelton, Pa, 1874 North Pine St..
at 10 a. m. June 1, to organize and
prepare the rank and file miners
for struggle on Sept. l, when the
anthracite contract expires.
Delegates will be there from all
local unions of the NM.U., from col
liery united front committees of ac-
ton, and from left wing groups in
the United Mine Workers.
The call for the conference states
in part:
"The 5-year agreement signed BY
Lewis in 1926 was a black sellout
of the miners after their six months
heroic strike. 1t was a victory for
the coal operators. During the life
of the agreement, the coal companies
made tremendous profits. The
miners have received wage cuts,
speedup, increase in working hours,
increase in the number of accidents
in the mines, and ever increasing I'M
employment.
Repeat Betrayal.
"The Tri-District Convention of
the U.M.W.A. held in Hazelton has
repeated the sellout and betrayal of
the anthracite miners. 1t endorsed
the existing 5-year sellout. 1t ap-
proved Umpire German of the con-
Citation board-and the whole idea
of class collaboration as expressed
in the Cancellation board. Lewis
ruled with an iron hand-and stifled
the rank and file from really de-
handing increases in wages, better
working conditions, shorter hours.
Lewis, Boylan, Hartneady, Mean
drews, Kennedy and the rest of that
crew of fakirs, jammed through a
resolution for the checkoff in the an

rope for the necks of the miners"

SILENCE IS
The ANSWER
OF WHALEN
Forgers Run Around
L loose, Because
Anti-SOviet
Probe Only 'R e d 81!
Criminals Hidden by
y. S. Silence

While the proposal to "investi-
gate" the Daily Worker, the Com
munist Party, the Amtorg Trading
Corporation, etc. still merrily goes
forward at Washington, the gang OF
forgers and liars who started all
this are silent under the exposures
made of their nefarious dealing in
forgeries they knew were forgeries.
The chief scoundrel in this re-
spect is the police commissioner of
New York City, Grover Whalen,
who says not a word, for the good
reason that he has not a word to
say that would strengthen his case
about these documents which speak
for themselves" documents which
were offered for sale to the New
York World some weeks before
Whalen's men intercepted them
as he claims.
Neither does Whalen open his
mouth to explain why, when the
managing editor of the N. Y.
Graphic, a capitalist sensation sheet
by no means friendly to Commu-
nists, went to Whalen's house with
the request that comparison be made
between the letterhead of Whalen's
documents" and the product of
Max Wagner's printshop on E. 10th
St.-Whalen refused to see him or
to allow any comparison.
With the congressman, aptly
named Fish, who introduced the
resolution in congress to investi-
gate the Amtorg and the Commu-
nists; Fish, who spoke at Union
Square in the anti-Communist DEM
onstration, along with Matthew
Vol of the A. F. of L., seeting this
investigation" off on the basis of
Whalen's "documents"-why is it
that such profound silence falls
over all these characters when the
documents are proven forgeries?
The sole conclusion possible to
arrive at is that the capitalists arc
determined to 60 ahead with this
investigation" regardless of the
fact that it is built upon forgeries,
forgeries traced to the mental white
guard scoundrel, Alex Yozwa, of the

the recent president of the univer-
sity. And now Theodore Hoover
adds his contribution.
AS dean of the Engineering
School, Hoover wrote treatise for
the guidance" of the engineering
students. 1t is from this treatise
that the opening quotation was
taken. A few other gems state:
Culture is increased by inventions
of new weapons" "Pacifists err in
assuming that peace is desirable"
Emerson says everything we have
must be paid for. We Americans
CD are living in unpaid luxury and
must pay in full by blood and hard
work"
This treatise, Hoover claims, is
a condensation of 25-page lecture,
every word of which sis true" 81
believe in all efforts directed toward
perpetual peace" he stated. AT
the same time l have fear that the
efforts will all prove Intellectual"
Now the interesting feature about
this is the fact that Theodore
Hoover recently returned from a
visit with his brother at the White
House, and is therefore in a good
position "to know" The Wall Street
masters expect war and are making
top-speed preparations for the i'm
perialist slaughter.
Every worker will recognize in
this theory of Hoover's an attempt
to justify the war plans and prep
arations of the American imperial
lists; to give the coming imperialist
war the dignity of a theory, and
the inevitabilty of an eternal law
of nature.
