The Mine Worker was thoroughly

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 2.-Twelve

the most cruel relief" fakeres so
far developed, a scheme that results
in forced labor at starvation wages,
intended to cut all wages for all
workers.
THAT will be too bad said Muir
ply, when the committee warned him
of the determination of the jobless
not to starve. He returned evasive
answers to all demands for $40 per
week relief from the city, with S.
additional for every dependent; for
no forced labor, for no eviction and
for free food and clothing for the
school children of the unemployed,
He tried TO deny forced labor, but
the committee. headed by A. Gerlach,
proved it to the hilt.
When the committee reported to
the crowd the mayors attitude they
were very much dissatisfied with it.
They VOW to come back here $4,000
strong on Feb. 10, when their sigma

note of the report delivered at the

LONDON, Jan. 2.-Over 10000 coal

a wage-cut made possible by the
mines act introduced by the MacDon-

who had bene promised a Seven-hour
day without wage decreases, were
handed a seven and a half hour day,
and the question of wages was left
up to the bosses. 1t is against wage
cuts when the new law goes into
effect that the miners are striking
A. j. Cook, secretary of the Miners
Federation, and Ramsay Macdonald,
who have been working close to the
bosses, hope to be able to call off the
strike today after a conference with
the mine owners. The main task of
the British misleaders of labor is to
keep miners in other sections of the
country from walking out in SYM
pathy with the South Wales strikers.
Cook and Macdonald were able to
smash strike of $4,000 miners about
a month ago in Scotland.
