Three important sources declared
on July 4 that war against the So
Wet Union is rapidly being prepared.
Two of these were high American
officials. Senator Royal S. Copeland
of New York, speaking before the
Long Island Chapter of the knights
of Columbus, blurted out the whole
plan for war against the U.S.S.R. A
similar, but more diplomatic speech
was made on the same day by the
U. S. ambmassador to France, Wal
ter E. Edge, speaking at a banquet
together with President Doumer of
France. Andrew w. Mellon, secretary
of the United States Treasury, now
in France forging an anti-Soviet war
front, was present.
In his outspoken speech, Senator
Copeland declared: IF I had my
way, I would place an absolute en-
barge against the entrance of all
Russian products into this country"
Questioned later what his object was
in this proposal he admitted that
the embargo was hoped to be fol-
lowed by an uprising in the Soviet
Union and that then the imperialist

what they could. Reporting this part
of his interview, the New York Times
states:
He said that he believed that
eventually such a wall (embargo
by the imperialist powers) would
be erected. This would be followed
by an uprising in Russia, and the
other countries of the world would
then step in and restore order"
More direct statements about war
against the Soviet Union were made
on July by General Eric Won Lu-
dendorff of Germany in special ar
ticle published in Volkswarte, en-
titled, "a World War via a Debt
Holiday" Ludendorff, along the line
of Senator Copeland and Ambassa-
dor Edge, wrote:
The real object Of relief to Ger
many and the price to be paid for it
by the German people is Germany's
participation in a world war which
will be started next Spring under the
80 -.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 5.-Mine
strikers in Pennsylvania and other
states are being chased out of the
company houses. There is verit-
able flood of evictions now. This is
to terrorize the few who have been
driven back to work, as well as an
effort to break the militancy of the
strikers. The bosses know the men
have a problem with their families
on the road and without food. The
single men sleep under trees. The
married men say. 1--WE want to stick
it out and never go back until we
win, but if we only had tent"
The miners themselves, every
moment they get off the picket line,
go out to dig up relief. They hold
affairs in the company towns They
get few cents from the store
keepers, some food from the farmers.
But the sources of relief in the mine
country are running dry. They must
have relief from the outside-from

that the miners are not fighting an
ISOLATED battle against few mine
operators, but class battle against

Thousands of Jobless
and Mine Strikers
to Take Part

BRIDGEPORT, O., July 5.-Final
preparations have been made for the
mass hunger march tomorrow, Mon
day, July 6, on st. Clairsville, county
seat of Belmont County. Thousands
Of unemployed workers and striking
miners have been mobilized for the
march.
Several meetings we're held today
at Dillonvale and Fairpoint, in spite
of the murderous terror of the coal
operators and their gunner, support
ed by the state and county authori-
ties
AS result of the nilitancy of the
unemployed and the strikers a per-
nit has been granted for the hunger
march and the mass meeting in
Clairsville, which will follow.
Demands will be made for i'm
mediate relief for the strikers and
their families as well as for all
other unemployed workers of Bel
mont County and for the turning
over 10 District Miners Relief
Committee of the S35,000 appropri-
ated recently by the Belmont
County Commissioners for hiring
deputy sheriffs for duty In the
strike area. The demonstrators will
also demand the immediate release
of all strikers arrested and the re-
peal of the criminal syndicalist
law under the provisions of which
close to 20 strikers are held under
high bond.
The determination of the miners
not to do business in Bellaire on ac-
count of the opposition of the city
government to the strike has forced
the takers to grant a permit for a
tag day for strikers relief.
The District Sthike Executive
Committee is energetically pushing
its efforts to spread the strike move
ment and to prepare for the election
of delegates to meet with the Central
Rank and File Strike Committee of
the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West
Virginia strikers in a national min
ers' conference. The conference will
be held in Pittsburgh, July Is and
Is. 1t will work out plans for soli-
darity of all strikers and struggle on
the demands of the miners in all the
coal fields. Rank and file organizing
delegations have been sent into the
Rocking Valley field in Ohio and in
to both the northern and southern
West Virginia fields.

organizational conference of working
class women, the American labor

"You can't run a train without

The conference was followed in the
evening by Woman's mass meet
ing to mobilize the women of Pits
burgh to cooperate with the Penn

lief Committee in collecting food and
money to buy food and tens for the

Speaking Of the hunger in the coal

Delegation From Mine
Strikers to Hit

Expose Hoover Scheme
Mellon, Doak, Lamont,
Lewis Fight Miners

NEW YORK.-That il is the main
aim Of the Hoover-Lewis-D -Doak-La-
mont coal conference, set for Thurs
day in Washington, to set up the
United Mine Workers of America as
strike breaking agency of the coal
operators, is admitted in a special
story from Pittsburgh published here
July 5, by the New York Times.
After pointing out that the Lewis
machine can be counted on to keep
down labor costs" and that the coal
operators are convinced that they
must attempt to revive the UMWA
in an effort to defeat the strike led
by the National Miners Union, this
special article says:
"The same operators who defeat
+ ed the United Mine Workers of
America In 1927, 1t is said, would
like TO return to the union plan,
as the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal
Corporation, the second largest
commercial producer in Pittsburgh,
did ten days ago.
1.-TWO reasons are given for that
company's return. Its officials, it is
declared, recognize that general
union agreement in the Pittsburgh
field would stabilize production cost
and eliminate cut-throat competi-
ton and wage-slashing and also
fear the left wing leadership of the
National Miners Union, rival of the
United Mine Workers, so much they
are willing to forget their old war
with the American Federation of
Labor member"
The National Miners Union, lead
ing 10000 miners in their fight
against starvation, has denounced the
scab conference of Lewis, the coal
operators and the government as an
extension of the strike breaking policy
of the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Co.,
the UMWA and the Finchot govern
ment of Pennsylvania. 1t calls on all
miners throughout the country TO
send delegates to the conference call
ed by the National Miners Union for
July 18th, in Pittsburgh in order to
carry the coal strike to victory and
plan national action of the American
miners.
Declaring that a powerful delega-
ton from the picket lines OF the
4o, 900 miners" will go to Washington
to denounce this Hoover attempt at
strike breaking, the National Miners
Union, and the Central Rank and
File Strike Committee, issued the fol-
lowing statement on July 5th.
"A powerful delegation from the
picket lines of the 10000 miners strik-
ing in three states under the leader

In the high-grade list there was some
adjustment to money market conditions

most part.
There was also some active buying of

By the Associated Press.
Canada'S bonus to wheat farmers dur
ing the current year will total about
$40, 635 900, according to Canadian es-
inmates forwarded to the Commerce
Department
Alberta farmers will benefit to the
extent of $5,065,000 from the scent

mate figure estimated from preliminary
surveys Of crop yields in the various
districts, after deducting quantities for

an estimated quantity Of 101, 100000

In the opinion of Canadian agricul-
tural leaders, the disastrous extent of
the drought and crop failure in Sas-

83,30O,0OO bushels are estimated for
that province with a bonus eff $4.415
