gressives"
Since these struggles were defeated by the
coal operators and their agents, they are now
starting general wage-cutting campaign. In
those mines which were shut for months and
the miners starved to DEATH new "rate sheets"
were signed. In the No. Colliery and Butler
Colliery of the Pittston Coal Co., miners who
used to get $2.86 per ton now will receive $2.12.
This means that wages have been reduced 80
per cent. More than that, the miners start to
work without knowing what their rates will be.
They find it out next pay day. In these two
Mines new mechanical leaders were installed
and methods of speed-up introduced. In the
Butler Colliery the superintendent told each
miner that before they go to work they must
see him. This means that the superintendent
will choose the he likes. All of this is done
with the help CT the officials of the UMW.A.
In this situation we need the unity of all
rank and file miners in the anthracite field.
In order to fight back the wage-cuts and gen.
eral worsening of our working conditions which
the coal operators and the U. M. w. A. officials
are forcing upon us, we need the complete unity
of all the miners The only way we can accom-
plish the unity of all rank and file miners is
by organizing miro committees in each mine in
Districts 1, and and fight for our common
program, which is: Against shutting of mines
or sections of mines, against topping of cars.
against check-off, against arbitration, against
the contractor system payment for all dead
work, equal pay for equal work. etc.
Against the starvation program of the coal
operators and their agents, Boylan, Lewis Bren-
nan, Heartneady and misleaders like Maloney
end Daugherty, we must raise our demands for
better conditions, fight against wage-cuts,
scced-uc etc For this purpose the Anthracite
Miners Unity Committee of Action is calling
tri-district conference on Sunday, Sept 81 at
II am. at Rosesnd Hall, 1874 N. Pine St.. Hazel
ton. Pa. This conference must be composed of
delegates elected by U.M.WA. local unions, and,
where it is not possible to elect delegates from
local unions, such delegates should be elected
BY minority groups of various local unions.

Dear Jorge: I see by the Daily Worker OF
September that 'A.F.L. Refuses Hear NTWU
Rank, File Delegation This-in headline on
the front page. The news may be quite exciting
to one who is versed in the secret code Of the
mystic order in question, but If this caption
should happen to attract the attention OF one
Of the uninitiated workers he would either take
1t to stand for some kind of chemical formula
or elsa dispute between two radio stations
mot being interested in chemistry and not
having radio of his own, the matter might
appear to him purely academic and in no way
related to his own problems of wages, hours or
unemployment.
Don't you think, dear Jorge, you ought to
write vigorous piece about this code nuisance
that stands between the working masses and the
news that ought to reach them?
Yours for clear language in the working class

Yes, brother, and If somebody could invent
organizations that did not have a name a foot
long, or on the other hand could stretch out
easier to say something ineligible in head
line about at least one organization.
The capitalist press has an advantage over
us on that. 1t simply calls the American Fedora
ton of Labor Labor" and any revolutionary
union-"Reds." Put the above headline in those
terms and it becomes instantly intelligible-but
politically inexact, to say the least We try to
get precision and clarity together but fail badly
sometimes But, say, did you ever try to write
headlinesP We have found that it often takes
longer than to write the story And 1t is twice
as difficult

PARIS, May 27-Foreign Minister
Aristide BRAND Withdrew his resigna-
Ministers today and said he would re-
main in the French cabinet.
M BRAND made his decision only
after the urgent demands of Premier

FASC|STS CATHOLIC
ATTACKS CONTINUE
Assaults on Church Students,
Buildings PeriIs State
Vatican Peace.

BY the Associated Press
ROME, May 27.-Rioting Fascist stu
dents today renewed their demons,ra-
tons against students at Catholic in
situations, and it was feared that the
repeated disturbances might bring a
diplomatic breach between the Vatican
and the Italian government.
This morning the rioters surrounded
the Catholic student headquarters,
stoned the building and broke all the
windows up to the fifth floor. The
crowd was dispersed by the carabinieri
Trouble had been anticipated and
police were stationed about the building
before the demonstration started. The
surging mass OF Fascist students out
numbered them however, and managed
to reach the building before the mount
ed guard could charge.
Rioters Strike Again.
Driven away from the student build
ing, the crowd rolled on to other Cath
Ole headquarters and broke many WIN
! dows before police arrived.
A band of several hundred Fascist
university students staged a manifesto
| ton last night in front of the Catholic
Students Club, in the Piazza Stages
tino. Though no violence was reported,
they marched through the. streets sing
ing the party hymn and directing derog-
atory stanZas toward the Church.
Osservatore Romano considered in
some quarters as unofficial organ of the
Vatican, published instances of alleged
Fascist opposition Black shirt students,
the newspaper said, destroyed banners
of church students and tore off their
Catholic Action" buttons in Milan.
Others insulted woman students with
in the university courtyards in Rome in
similar ways. and the Fascist inspector
Catholic societies, particularly Catholic
Action"
Paper Sees Danger.
The newspaper today characterized
Is completely false allegations in yester-
days Lavoro Fascista that the Catholic
Action organization Is antiFascist.
"All Italian newspapers with unison
which clearly reveals unique and high
inspiration carried these false reports, +"
the OSserVatore Romano said. I'VE call
attention to this so that the public may
judge toward what end the situation
is tending. One concludes that the
persons who are carrying on intensified
violence against members and institu-
tons of the Catholic Action are not
the only ones responsible"
This morning as Count Della Tore,
editor of the Observatore Romsno was
entering the Vatican City on the way
to his Office q man took him by the
erm and said he was wanted at police
headquarters.
The editor shook himself free and
crossed the Vatican City boundary
line, informing the man that If the 20
lice wanted him they could come to his
Office. Later he learned the police had
not sent for him and 1t was thought his
interception may have been part of a
plan to do him injury.
There has been diplomatic tension be-
tween Rome and the Vatican for three
months.

selves that this man was in Chicago
at the time of the shooting. The Chi
cagoan now being sought is reported
to have made mysterious trip to
Washington just before the shooting,
and was seen here about the day of
the attack. Whether he has returned
to Chicago has not been established,
1t is said.
The man who confronted Huddell,
Possehl and Langdon and fired from
two revolvers ct them while they were
eating was stranger to the trio. He
wore new pair of overalls, apparently
for purposes of disguise. He fled In a
waiting automobile.
1t is believed the shooting of Lang
don was accidental and that the as
Sailant intended to get" only Huddell
and Possehl. Langdon lost an eye as
a result of the shooting, but Huddell
and Possehl apparently escaped serious
injury. Possehl's face was burned by
two shots.
The grand jury will be presented
with checks purporting to show the
former union official miSappropriated
$50, 900 of the unions funds. While the
United States attorneys office will
offer evidence only in connection with
the embezzlement charges, it is pcs
sible the grand jury voluntarily may
delve into other troubles of the union,
including the recent shooting and a
horsewhippins incident which preced-
ed 1t.

for the railroads or the country at this
time The actual outcome was the de-
cision to ask the Commerce Commits
sion TO undertake, on its own initiative,
an inquiry with a view TO developing
what economies could be effected and,
through putting these into operation,
obviate any necessity Of increasing car
rying charges.
The fear of the railroads Is that I'M
less the economies suggested are per-
mitted, earnings in many instances may
not reach the minimum set by laws
and that the savings banks and others
might be compelled to sell securities,
and this would aggravate the market
situation, already bad.
This state of affairs was the incentive
of the National Association of Mutual
Savings Banks at its convention here
last Friday in adopting a blanket reso-
luton which favored "all endeavors
which may be made by the railroad
companies to restore their earnings to
normal basis"
The resolution expressed sympathy
with the carriers and approved their
efforts 70 regain prosperity.

Biggest of German Make.
The aluminium basket is 7 feet in
diameter and carries a supply of arti-
flcial oxygen without which a journey
into such altitude would mean certain
death. The balloon, the largest ever
built in Germany, has a diameter oil
100 feet and holds 500 900 cubic feet
of hydrogen. She contained only 95 ,00C
at the start, but this was expected tc
expand to full capacity at height OF
about 10000 feet.
Picard hoped to explore the strato-
sphere, from 40, 900 to so. 900 feet above
the earth, and with his instruments to
obtain new data on the origin of cosmic

How the men within the sealed ball
were faring could only be speculated
on. Tor they had no means of sig

at the start, several observers had said
they saw the ground line foul the small
propeller on the outside of the gondola.
If so, it would mean that the occu-
pants would be unable to regulate the
heat by revolving the metal cage,
which might mean considerable dis
comfort.
