THE PENNA. COAL MINERS
ARE NOT FOR SALE

slider: there were supposedly 103 delegates
from the Western Pennsylvania field but not
one of them is working in mine. The "dele-
gates" from the Western Pennsylvania field
to the Indianapolis convention" are zen whose
records are as black as the coal that is mined
in the field. Some of them are bonded for
thousands of dollars as result of extorting
money under false pretenses. Others are known
as paid stoolpigeons of the U. S. Steel. Others
are bootleggers. These perverts do not rep
resent the miners, were not delegated to rep
resent them, as the miners of the Pennsyl-
vania fields have nothing to hope for from the
indianapolis crowd. On the contrary. Thus,
Murray, Pagan, Lewis and the rest of the
gang lie when they claim that they have the
support of the Pennsylvania miners
Miners Support N. M u.
The National Miners Union does have the
support of the miners in the Pennsylvania
fields. The bosses know this and discharge
evict and victimize all men whom they suspect
OF belonging to the N.M.U. The Pittsburgh
Coal Company at the Midland mine recently
called IN sixty men and threatened to dis
charge any of them who dare attend a N.M.U.
meeting. At Hendersonville N.M.U members
have been discharged. At Harmarville. Daisv
town. Vestaburg, etc., in every mine in West
ern Pennsylvania, the miners are discharged
daily In an attempt to brighten them away
from the NM.U.
In this the bosses are not successful The
miners are coming to the NM. u. meetings in
ever greater numbers. The NM.U. is holding
four-five meetings. each Sunday in various parts
OF the fields. N.M.U. locals are growing in
membership and influence as they are fighting
Tor the everyday demands of the miners. N.
MI mine committees are demanding increases
IN wages, pay for dead work. recognition of
encouragement and mine committees The
,NM.U carries on daily struggles against wage
cuts, speed-up, unemployment, etc. This is
why the miners support the NM.U. and under
its leadership are preparing for new struggles
on scale never before attempted in the min
ing industry of the U.SA
Vital Conferences
The Western Pennsylvania district of the
N.M.U. is holding two sub-district conferences
on Sunday, March 3d. and district conferences
on March 30. At these conferences delegates

March 6 in District No. 9

In spite of the fact that the 9th district of
the Party has been in the past years over run
by opportunism and reformism of every des-
cription and color, the workers all over the
district come out en- masse at the call of the
Communist International and the Communist
Party on March and demonstrated against
unemployment which has its effect here as
elsewhere.
On March the workers of this district
proved that they have thrown away the shackles
of the social fascist leadership of the A. F. of
l.. fakerdom, with all its appendages such as
the fake "farmer-labor" movement and have
chosen the leadership Of the Communist Party
and the Trade Union Unity League in the class
struggle.
Approximately thirty thousand workers took
part in the demonstration throughout the dis
trict in some form or another. Even in the
center of the worst blacklist SYSTEM the Iron
Range, workers come out into the streets to
demonstrate. In Minneapolis from six to seven
thousand participated.
This definitely proves the mood of the work
ers when we consider it and compare it with
the meeting called by the fakerdom of Min
neapolis on February % where there were only
about thousand present.
The demonstration was the biggest held for
many years. When the parade passed the Ne
gro sections, they were cheered very enthusiast
tically, showing that the Negro workers are
also ready to be organized, which the takers
have never attempted nor do they want to.
In Duluth, steel trust town of a little over
a hundred thousand population, between five
and seven thousand participated at the meeting,
close to a thousand marched through the main
street of the town cheering and singing. 1t was
the largest demonstration held in Duluth in
decades and perhaps the largest ever held.
In st. Paul several thousand participated at
the meeting with several hundred marching
through the down town streets.
In the smaller town and even in agricultural
centers the farmers held meetings at the call
Of the Communist Party.
Throughout the district new members joined
the Party and the T.U.U.L.
There is one lesson to be drawn from the
March demonstrations in this district that is
very important. The demonstration proved de-
.finitely that the workers are coming closer to
the Party here as elsewhere, they are begin
ming to realize that the Communist Party is
the only organization that fights for the in
terest of the whole working class and as such
/. it is the only Organization capable of leading
the workers and the poor farmers in this dis
trict in the class struggle which is becoming
ever sharper.

HOPEFUL HOOVER AND THE
HOLY WAR

recession went far beyond Wall Street to for.
eign countries. e.. The worldwide decline
in raw material prices, of course, has a DAM
pening effect on foreign purchasing power,
but some of the leading economic thinkers in
the government employ believe that the turn
is near"
Admits World Crisis
The whole capitalist world is in the grip of
an economic crisis which already has in a num-
Der of countries produced political crisis.
This has been evident for number of months
but it took the worldwide demonstrations
against unemployment and particularly the
tremendous demonstrations in the United
States, led by the Communist Party and or
ganized by the Trade Union Unity League, to
force such an admission from Wall Streets
president, the admission he makes in the fore
going quotation.
The effort to stimulate foreign trade, to
further invade the world markets by American
imperialism can have no other result than to
deepen the world crisis and sharpen imperialist
antagonists.
Inevitable Results.
One concrete result of this policy is seen
now in the new war between the Britsh-con-
trolled Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company and
the Standard Oil, centering around the inva-
sion of the huge Indian market by Standard
Oil.
Another result is the speeding up of the
building of the huge new u S. mail fleet,
fast steamers that will rival with the best
Great Britain has, in both speed and tonnage,
and that can be armed, armored and turned
into vessels.
Of less Importance but significant as indi-
eating the general trend of the Hoover pro-
gram is the Suggestion" in the interview that
american tourists, instead of going abroad
this year, travel at home"
"The spending of $500 zoo, 900 or more abroad
helps foreign purchasing power, but only a
slice of this is expended for American exports"
says the interview.
The insouble contradiction between this at
titude and the policy of stimulating export
trade is too obvious to need enphass-just as
obvious as the fact that the drive for wider
world markets when every imperialist country
is doing the same thing leads straight to i'm
perialist war. .,-
Hoover and the Holy War.
The drive on the Soviet Union now in pro-
gress, headed by the pope, supported by all
the churches irrespective of denomination and
doctrinal differences, backed by the imperial
list governments of the United States, England
France, ETC., is clear indication of the anti
working class and war-like trend of Hoover
policy since the high point reached by this
campaign in America, where no tradition exists
of "holy war;" the rallying to the battle-cries
of feudal reaction issued by the pope, shows
that actual government support is not lacking
This campaign, has as its object first, the
mobilization of the peasant masses of Poland,
Rumania, Italy, ETC., for new offensive against
the fatherland of the worlds working class
it is preparation for actual military mobza-
tion-and second, the forcing of more conces-
sions from the Soviet Union in the matter of
trade agreements.

Russia has characteristics similar to those of
the Antl-Clerical movement in France and the
Nationalist movement in Great Britain. It's main
object like that Of the nationalist Press As
ISOLATION in England, is to promote concep-
ton OF nature, history and the meaning of
life, in accord with the facts of experience and
with the progress of science and criticism.
"As for the paper, 'Bezbozhnik,' the organ
OF the voluntary society of the Goddess, it is ed
tied by an ex-priest. One number which l
examined gave a syllabus of books it wanted
its readers to read including those of Tom
Paine, Bob Ingersoll, Ernst Haeckel, Charles
Darwin, Mendez, Spinoza, Benjamin Kidd,
Charles Bradlaugh, Renan, Huxley and Vol
taire."
Looking over copies of this paper in recent
days find it less given to mere ranting and
cartooning and more to brief articles on science,
anthropology, evolution and new methods of
agriculture.
This voluntary movement with it's 1000. 900
members receives no financial support from the
government. 1t holds lectures and carries on
steady propaganda against religion. It is this
which ecclesiastical forces outside of Russia
who now protest against atheism in Russia
would suppress if tAey could. They know it
is having its effects on the population. They
know it is winning over even the clark masses"
drugged for so many centuries by the medieval
superstitions Of the Greek Orthodox Church.
This partly explains their present prayers
about persecution" But the more significant
explanation is the one already referred to-,
the fact that the Soviet Union is growing in
creasingly powerful under the Five Year Plan,
must be attacked now if it is ever to be over
thrown. The reactionaries know this. They
know that the success of this industrial and
completely doom their hopes of change of re-
gime Hence they stir up these hypocritical
religious protests--which are thus very dis
tinct2part of their general campaign Of lying
and SANDER against the first workers and peas
ants, republic.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-03-22

THE Greek Orthodox Church, under the Gar,
was an organ of the government and an
instrument for keeping the workers and peas
ants in ignorance and poverty. Priests even
went so far as to use the confessional to Sc
cure facts which they turned over to the po-
lice and the Greek Church, also helped the gov
eminent to place all sorts of restrictions on
the Jews and to suppress the other non-Or-
thodox sects and send their leaders into exile.
When the revolution came, church and state
were separated secular education was confined
to the schools, church lands and buildings were
nationalized, freedom was given to all religious
sects
The corrupt Greek Orthodox Church sided
solidly with the White Guards in the long per-
iod of the civil war after the revolution. They
blessed the arms of Kochak, Denikin, and the
other bloody representatives of landlordism and
capitalism. Later, the high agents of the
church opposed the appropriation of some of
the unnecessary gold and jewels of the church
for the relief of the starving population in
the famine of 1921.
When the priests resorted to such open acts
against the government they were dealt with
as counter-revolutionist But insofar as they
carried out religious functions they were not
disturbed Freedom Of worship exists in the
Soviet Union. There is vastly more of it than
before the revolution.
In view of these facts the campaign Of prayer
and special services against "Moscow's war on
religion" appear to be inspired by other reasons
than opposition to so-called persecution"
These prayers, in spite of declarations to the
contrary, have political content and implica-
ton In England they are inspired by the
most reactionary newspapers. Ancient and
undated stories Of "atrocties" are dug up to
rouse the -eligious-minded population to hatred
to the Soviets. The same is true of this coun-
try where clerical representatives of entrenched
wealth lead the protests against the Soviets.
Even certain innocent and usually more lib
eral-minded persons are drawn into this con-
solidated praying campaign, not knowing they.
are part of a campaign against the Soviet
government inspired by epigree and monarchist
Russian elements in Europe, as well as by the
Pope who has recently failed in his negotia-
tions with the Soviet in which he had hoped
to get back the church property and lands in
Russia and to increase the influence of the
Catholic Church at the expense of the Greek
Orthodox Church.
But the primo " reason for the outbreak of
this united praying at this particular time
grows out Of the tremendous ADVANCE being

BY BILL DUNE.

"Steel and automobile production de-
clined somewhat toward the end of
the month (February) and in the first
week of March. Building contracts
awarded failed in February to maintain
the slight gain of January and the dis
tribution of goods by rail failed to show
the usual seasonal advance, so that car
loadings were below the January level.
Employment in factories de-
clined somewhat in the last half of the
month (February), contrary to the usual
seasonal tendencies. The general level
of factory employment in February re-
manned at the low level reached in jan
uary.
"Te this general picture should be
added the fact that the prices of both
agricultural and non-agricutural commo-
dities have continued downward to date
and that in the past they have cores
pended closely with business activity.
Interest rates have declined still fur
Their in February and at present they re-
fleet the falling off in demand for credit
from business and commercial sources.
-. This declining demand for credit
is also reflected in decline in bank loans
for commercial purposes during February
when they usually advance.
Another factor is the decline
in agricultural prices which is tending to
lower the money incomes of farmers be-
low their incomes at this time last year."
