MIR. Gitlow Complains

Mr. Benjamin Gitlow, one of Policeman
Whalers latest assistants, complains against
the Daily Worker because it reported on April
18th that she untes with these same enemies
of the workers (luste group of the S. P.) to
prevent the National Miners Union securing
a loan from the Garland Fund for the organiz-
ing campaign" To refute this Gitlow pro-
duces letter from Roger Baldwin. Unfortu-
natey for Gitlow, Baldwin's disclosures are
even more damning than ours, revealing Git
low as attempting to use the Garland Fund as
an instrument to deliver over the Nationa
Miners Union to the Farrington-Pe body Coal
Company outfit.
Baldwins letter to Gitlow, revealing this
fact, says:
'At the meeting of the Fund Board ON
March 18th, report from the subcommittee
was considered involving proposed loans to
the new Mine Workers Union formed at the
Springfield Convention and to the National
Miners Union The minutes show that you
proposed an amendment to the report, author
izing tn ecOmmitte to consider the situation
again and to bring in a report for uniting
and aiding all the progressive forces in the
miners movement. The votes which were
taken record you voting for your proposal
and not for the loan to the progressive
union nor against an appropriation to the
National Miners UniOn'
Instead of voting against" the loan to the
N M. T., Gitlow merely put up his own motion
to liquidate the N. M. U. into the harrington
outfit, with promise of some liberal money
as a reward for accepting the treachery. The
Daily Worker is glad to "correct" it's previous
report, which did not sufficiently expose the
depths of treachery of Gitlow.

emphasis). 1t is very clearly put. The heart
of the issue against Russian coal is the strug-
gle to preserve the home markets for the home
exploiters. 1t is struggle to maintain the
present precarious position of the anthracite
industry in America.
81 The present deep depression in the an
thracte can be seen by the fact that for the
month Of March 1880, there was drop of
1,277767 tons as compared with February 1880
and drop of 197,751 tons as compared with
March of last year. Figures taken from the
Anthracite Bureau of Information, dated April
11th). This means great drop in Employ
menu, and a great drop in the wages of the
workers.
~ The move to ban Russian coal is not meet
ing with an unanimous response in all sections
of the bourgeoisie. Lamont, for one, is oppos-
ing the embargo on the ground that 100000,
900 worth of machinery, etc. that Russia i'm
ports from America is bit more than the
100000 tons of anthracite that she exports to
America. 1t seems possible that this group of
Ilie u. .. DOulSeoioie, REPRESENTING Tie UlSSeSI
Wall Street interests, will win out in Congress-
Prepare Wage Cut
81 The coal operators are nevertheless very
clevery using this Russian Coal issue to pre-
pare the anthracite miners for wege reduc-
tons. Just as the Illinois operators in 1927
used the issue Of Kentucky COAL" saying that
it was being mined for one-third less than Ill.
coal to prepare for wage reduction in 1927,
SO the anthracite operators are using this
smoke screen to prepare to slash the wages OF
the hard-coal miners at the time Of the expir
alton of the anthracite agreement in Septem-
Der $780,
All in all this campaign against Russian coal
is in reality campaign against the USSR,
except that it is translation into economic,
material terms in order to incte hatred against
the Soviet Union. And it is up to the conmu-
nsts and the NMU to expose the purposes of
this campaign, bring the facts to the hard-coal
miners. send delegate or two to the RILU
Fifth Congress who will make special study
of conditions of the Russian miners, bring back
report. It is up to the Communists to rally
the miners in the defense Of the USSR.

of the Party as we'll as Party discipline and
thus to destroy the foundation of the whole
Communist Party. All attempts of the Halon-
EXISTS of this sort must be repealed by united
effort. Cancellation or hesitation in the strug
gle against the Halonenists are not any longer
mistakes but crime.
The Polt-Secretariat knows that the present
letter, with which the representative of the
Communist Party of the United States is en-
tirey in accord, will cause absolutely no diff
ference between the Executive of the Commu-
mist Party of America and the leading bodies
of the Communist International; that on the
contrary, it is but a continuation and confir-
nation of the course taken by the Central Com
mittee of the Party. Hoping that the Party
Executive will keep the leading organs of the
Comintern more informed than hitherto, con-
corning the work of the Finnish comrades in
the United States, the Political Secretariat
calls upon all members to work with full con-
fidence in the leadership of the present Cen
trail Committee of the Party and it's Finnish
Bureau.
The Party leadership on its part must exert
all it's efforts that the Finnish organizations
and comrades Especially the Young Commu-
nists) will take the most active part in the
general Party activities and thus fully merge
with the Party organism You Finnish Party
comrades, on the other hand, all without excep-
ton, should in real Bolshevik manner defend
the authority of the Party and its leadership.
All of you must understand that Party under
whose leadership the working class will have
to overthrow in fierce combat the class domn-
alton of the bourgeoisie can never develop if
it's members will simply carry out its decisions
Without enthusiastically fighting on their be-
half.

RUSS1AN coal is making large group of

hot In fact it is burning them up. Russian
coal is replacing the aged myth of Moscow
gold" and the black prostitute press Of the
anthracite is bowling and barking its loudest
against this "new menace"
This crusade against the Soviet Union fol-
lows Immediately upon and is closely related
to the whole recent outbreak of capitalist fury
against the USSR. 1t is continuation of
the policy of conscious lies, provocations, and
preparation for war against the workers Faith
erland. This fact can most readily be realized
by the simple understanding that Welsh coal
has been and is being imported in far greater
quantities than Russian coal.
About five weeks ago, Secretary of Labor
Davis, brought out the fact that Soviet Russia
had exported about $4,000 gross tons of an
thracite to the USA, and that New England
mill owners had placed orders totaling $1,000
tons of Russian anthracite. He stated that this
coal was being sold for S1.00 ton less than the
American product. Davis himself initiated the
campaign to exclude Russian coal by demand
ing that some revisions be made in the pres
ent tariff bill, or that Hoover declare an en-
barge against it.
A Damn Lie
Statements were made that Russian miners
receive seventeen cents day for their work.
In fact this most damnable lie is used by all
newspapers, by the UMWA fascist officials,
by the coal companies, and by the Dept OF
Labor in order to antagonize the American
miner against the Soviet Union. Russia pays
it's miners seventeen cents day, do you want
the same wages for yourselves" is popular
question thrown at all hard-coal miners. The
capitalist press goes even further in referring

IS HOPEFU Ill,
BUT HAS BIG TASK
Only Three Veterans From
Last Season Available.
Squad of Is Out.

~ ESPITE that only three expe-
rienced players are ut hand,
Dewitt School is by no means
pessimistic as to the outlook
for q successful foot ball season. The
schools squad, numbering IS, reported
yesterday for the first time on the
Dewitt field.
Capt Oliver (Bits) Schriver, half
back; Charley Rose, guard, and willard
White, center, are the three seasoned
performers available. Cc~ch Jim Me-
Namara will not have I'D line on the
remainder of hir until they have
been out few T., ), but 1t appears that
he has big job to develop an eleven
comparable with the strong team that
carried Devitt's colors last year. Dewitt
lost just one game in eight In 1929,
bowling to Mercersburg, Pa, Academy,
0 to IL, In the seasons opener. It
fought Georgetown University freshmen
to scoreless tie and Newport News,
Va, High to TT deadlock. Victories
were registered over Eastern, Washing
ton-Lee High, Mount st. Mary's Prep,
Central and Gonzaga.
Crack members of last seasons team
who have been lost include Francis
Knott, who was captain; Tom Keefe,
Francis Bernard and Milton Abramson,
backs; Paul Tangora, Melvin Viner,
guards; KaSpar Beezley, Rufus Vincent,
tackles, and Glenn Suddarth and Jim
McAleer, ends.
While Dewitt may not have so strong
a team as year ago. it will play an
other hard schedule. Nine games are
planned. McNamara's eleven will open
the campaign October 4, though 1t has
not yet booked an opponent for the
date. The following Saturday the Dewitt
huskies will invade the Old Dominion
for clash with Newport News High
at Newport News. Then will follow
games here with the freshmen elevens
of Catholic University, George Washing-
ton and Georgetown in that order.
For November 8 Dewitt has carded q
game here with Jamaica, N. Y, High
School. It will be the first time a
Jamaica eleven has ever come here. and
the intersectional battle is one Of the
brightest features of the schoolby grid
season hereabout. No opponent has yet
been listed for November is. Nc
Namara's warriors will go to Princeton,
N. j., November 49, to engage Hun
Prep Schools eleven and will wind up
their campaign Thanksgiving Day, No

must be said they have for
many weeks travelled at a pace

trouble with the whole situa-

no sympathy at all for the as
pirations Of the Washing
tonianS.
CONSIDER August, for in

through September / the Ma
tionals turned in % victories
and suffered only 3 defeats for

Over the same stretch the
Athletics grabbed 19 victories

other words, the Griffs boosted
their figures just 80 points and
the Mackmen dropped 6.

comparable relative gait event.
ually would enable Washington
to overhaul Philadelphia, but
the hard fact of the matter Is
that the season now has only
three weeks to run, and the
local deficit is such that the
AS can do no better than about

unless the Griffs stage a squirt
of unprecedented proportions.
A THOUGH they displayed
"A nothing in their two pre-
vious visits to the West to indi-

win as often as they lost, the
Nationals may set off some
fireworks in their final swing
through the Sunset sector

st. Louis today. It is conceiv-
able they might make a clean
sweep against the Browns,
White SoX, Indians and Tigers,
and then return East to mop
up the four games scheduled
for them at Boston.
In this event, with the Macks
playing only $3.50 ball, their
reign as champions could be
ended and the Capital could
indulge in an orgy of celebra-
ton over the third pennant in

The Robins threw the pennant scram-
BILE into even more of turmoil yester-
day, when they won the only games
played in either of the major leagues,
defeating the Phillies, to and ii to
4. in q double bill. The twin victory
sent the men from F7atbush bounding
into third place, half game in front
of the idle Giants and full game back
of the Cards.
Ray Moss pitching performance in
the opening encounter was the hlgh
spot of the two games. He held the
usually smuggling Phillies to four hits,
three of which were singles by Rensa
and the fourth home run by Hurst.
The circuit clout was offset, however,
by similar hits of the bats Of Bisson-
cite and Frederick. A five-run rally
in the fifth, during which Hansen was
sent to the showers and Phillips was
treated almost as rough. spelled victory
for the Robins.
The second battle was close contest
until the seventh, when the Robins
again let loose with their big guns, scor-
ing six runs and driving Willoughby
from the mound. Meanwhile Jumbo
Elliott was breezing along, but he, too
weakened in the same frame and Hollis
Tllurston was sent to the rescue after
the Phillies had counted twice.

CONSIDER, for instance, what
~ has happened since Labor
day. The AS present percen-
tage of $3.50 shows they have
picked up 5 of the points they
lost during the month imme-
diately preceding the holiday,
while the Nationals average of
.625 discloses the fact they have
dropped / of the 80 points they
gained. And these figures in
clude the benefit which accrued
to JohnSon'S men from that
Sabbath thriller they nosed the
MackS out of.
Regardless of whether Wash
ington'S slim chance for the
title ever becomes more than
just that, however, the local
club already can feel whatever
satisfaction may be found in
the fact that they are assured
of no worse than an even split
on the season with any of
their rivals save one, st. Louis.
They already have left the
Yankees and Red Sox far in
the rear and chiseled the
requisite IL wins from the
Mackmen, Indians, Tigers and
White Sox. But to finish on a
par with Killefer's men they
will have to take two of the
three games listed at the

ment for the Griffmen.
