DEMAND STRIKE
IN ANTHRACITE
National Miners Union
For Six Hour Day
BULLETIN


PITTSTON, Pa, June 1.-TWO
more local unions of the UNIV.
are meeting tonight and will in
struct their committee to vote for
a strike. These two locals include
1000 miners. Three others, in
GLIDING about 5000 miners, have
already voted to strike.
The National Miners Union is
distributing 10000 leaflets call
ing for strike against wage cuts
and big mass layoffs. The NM.
U. has called mass meeting for
Sunday afternoon in Columbia
Hall, Old Forts, Pa.
PITTSTON, Pa, June Eff
teen thousand anthracite miners are
preparing to strike here, They are
demanding strike vote and the
United Mine Workers Union dis
trict officials are doing everything
they can to sabotage them, but the
men will act over the heads of the
officials if they do not get their
demands.
The miners are suffering from
unemployment, some collieries have
been closed since the first of the
year over lack of equalization. They
demand equalization of work as a
matter of life and death. They pro-
test the proposed sell-out agree
ment reached between the U. M.
w. A. and the Penn Coal Co.
Wage Cut Trick.
The employers have been arbit-
rarily closing down some of the
mines, throwing thousands out OF
work, and running the others. The
miners see that this is a trick to
starve men into taking reductions
and submitting to worse conditions
and that the same tactics will be
applied to the other mines, wher
these now closed down are opened
with worse conditions. They will
probably stay shut until after Sep
TENDER 1, when the new anthracite
sell-out agreement is applied.
Operators and district UNIV. Of

grievance committee meeting, how
ever, majority sentiment was highly
critical of District Pres. John j.

poned several days to permit local
unions to meet.

HOSIERY FAKERS
PUTTING over
BOSSES PLANS
Musteite Officials in
Huge Sell-Out Plot
on Hosiery Men
W orkers to Fight
Sell-Out Convention on
June %
W orker to Fight

With the hosiery industry shot
through with unemployment, part
time work. speed-up and other eft.
fects of the great economic crisis
now gripping all industries, the
hosiery bosses have launched ter
rifle drive. on the hosiery workers.
The plan of the bosses to "stabi-
lie" the industry is to shift the
burden of the crisis onto the work
ers, while their profits flow into
their Golfers uninterruptedly.
Behind closed doors the officials
of the American Federation of Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers have
agreed to the bosses plan to "re-or-
ganize" the industry and effect some
$4,000 organized and many thou
sands unorganized hosiery workers.
Thousands of hosiery workers,
knitting in particular, will be forced
out of the industry as a result of the
introduction of the 2, and even
machine system. Gigantic wage
cuts, ranging from eight to SO per
cent will be only forerunners Of
even greater wage reductions.
The attack on the hosiery workers
will be led by Musteite officials Of
the American Federation of Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers. 1t was
those officials who, at the secret
conferences with the bosses not only
agreed to the plans of the bosses
but guaranteed to execute them.
In an attempt to please the boss
es, the hosiery officials declared that
that the industry was facing greet
crisis and they would do their ut
most to lessen the tension. 1t was
as a result of that that the bosses
demanded 1913 per cent wage cut
for all workers, the introduction of
the 2, A and 6 machine system and
similar speed-up methods, subse-
quently forcing the knitters out of
the industry and hiring boys and
girls as helpers.
Although the Musteite officials
agreed to the essentials of the pro-
gram, they warned the employers
that the only way it was possible for
them to put so atrocious an attack
over on the workers it would be
necessary to remove some of the too
obvious rough spots. They suggest
ed that the wage cuts by 1872 pei
cent, for blind at the beginning,
and the introduction of the two-ma-
chine system. The appointing of q
standing efficiency committee to see
that the most modern methods Of
speeding up and naturalization he
used were also put forward.
Despite the fact that the methods
of attack were kept secret, call
for a convention was sent out a.
soon as the meeting was over To
all appearances it seemed that the
convention would be given power to
accept or reject the agreement but
in reality the conference had agreed
to make the convention the endors-
ing body Of the agreement.
Although the officials have put
forth the usual argument about wage
cuts being returned as soon as the
industry was stabilized, the hosiery
workers saw through their prog
ressive" misleaders, and made that
! fact oujte plain at their membership
meeting in Philadelphia on June Is

History of Struggle.
Pittston miners last year seeded
from the UNIV. and conducted
strike of their own, which was sold
out by the independent union
leaders, and the men forced back
to the UNIV.
1t was at Pittston that Boylan's
predecessor and model, the un
speakable Cappellini fought bitter
battles with the left wing which
at one time was in control of big
Pittston local The local leader
were assassinated by ones and twoS
by hired gangsters, the most fam
Gus instance being the shooting to
death of Campbell and Reilly in
car approaching the home of one of
them. When three other leaders
defended themselves against a muir
derous attack in the UNIV. dis
trict offices and killed one of the
Capellini gunner, they were rail
roaded through to prison terms.

son is undoubtedly the crisis grow

the rising fear of plantation own

and tenant farmers will begin to
demand something to stop their
starvation, the capitalist press
prints the usual story of IAN at

after the Negro has been lynched.

that Kaplan turned down an

Phil, wise old bird that he is,
knew that Kaplan was having
trouble with the weight, though
it was a pretty close secret up
to the Tins Kaplan stepped
down.
"And what did Kaplan say
of Glassman'S. offer? Just
this:
"I know that / can't make the
weight any more and be myself.

my friends in Connecticut and
elsewhere, and, were / to take

tell Bass that he and the others
will have to fight among them

th Carolina Griden Face Test in Game With Georgia Saturday
TEAM MAKES
READY FOR
FRAY

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Oct. IA.
The Carolina football squad came
through the Maryland game with
only minor injuries to House.
McIver, and Blackwood, and were
set today to begin. a tough week
of drilling for the big home
coming game with Georgia at
Athens Saturday.
The narrow margin of Caro-
lina's 1921 victory over Maryland
showed cnce more how weak are
the Tar Heel defenses, and Caro-
lima will be doing its hardest
drilling Of the season this week.
The reason is clear. Georgia
gave Carolina its only licking last
year, 1912, and that driving,
crashing club of sophomores and
juniors is back almost intact this
year, stronger than ever, and one
of the biggest obstacles in the
way of any Southern Conference,
aspirations of North Carolina.
The CarOlin a-MaryTand
game told an especially ex-
presSive story. Carolina was
Outgained from Scrimmage,
100 yards to 81; was Outdis-
tanced in first downs by Is
to s, when the linemen failed
to open holes for the fleet
Carolina backs, and the Tar
Heels eked out a victory only
by brilliant passing and re-
turning of punts, for total
of 353 yards.
Wyrick and Branch, quarter
backs, shone brilliantly at this
punt returning, and Magner and
Branch executed their usual SEN
sational passes with excellent re-
suits.
Cardinals line should be strong.
er for Georgia, but much hinges
on the results of this weeks work.
Underwood was out for the Mary
land game and his fellow-starter
at tackle, George Thompson,
played despite injuries, but both
boys should be in shape Saturday.
There were no serious injuries in
the Maryland game, and the team
is doped to be in good shape to
start the heavy work for the
Georgia game that will be the
test. - -.
The fact that both Yale and
Carolina beat Maryland makes it
evident that the Georgia Carolina
scrap will be a real epic. Yale
beat Maryland by larger margin
than Carolina did. Hence the Tar
Heels will be fighting to overcome
that edge. It is rumored that
Coach Collins has a number of
tricks planned especially for
Georgia.
