WAGE CUT DRIVE
OF BOSSES GROWS
SHARPER DAILY
Doak Lies to Hide the
Increasing Misery

Secretary Of Labor Doak has en-
tered the Hoover reparations mora
forum campaign by stating that as
a result of this debt holiday" the
wage-cutting campaign will be
stopped. What information we have
inclines me to the belief that the
wage-cutting campaign among GER
tain employers has ben checked in
the past ten days" Doak probably
has as little information" as the
government usually has when it is a
question of deceiving the working
class.
The lie is thrown back into Doak's
mouth by the news from Youngs-
town on the very same day that the
sheet and tin mill workers will be
paid the lowest wages in many years
during July. Wages in July will be
Az per cent lower than in May or
June. This wage-cut has been forced
on the workers by the combined
force of the bosses and the labor
takers, the leaders of the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers. The Amalgamated has
followed a systematic policy of wage
cutting for the bosses and meets
regularly with them for that pur-
pose.
simultaneously with Doak's state
ment his own department comes out
with figures proving him to be a
complete liar. The Department of
Labor reports that in the month
ending May Is twice as many in
dustrial workers suffered wage-cuts
as in the period ending April l5." In
the period, April is to May Is, in
1893 factories, 46,377 workers got
wage-cuts averaging 104 per cent.
Thousands more workers, not in
cluded in the figures Of the depart
ment, also had their wages slashed
in this period. The. department.
proves Doak to be liar doubly by
stating that the above figures refer
to only direct wage-cuts-they do
not include wage-cuts resulting from
putting workers on the Hoover stag
ger system Of one or two days a
week, called by tn department "al-
terations in operation schedules"
The bosses are using the wage-cut-
ting campaign as one means to save
their profits. The other method is

proposals of Doak, Lamont and Lewis.
They have been carrying on a sys-
tenatic campaign to this effect ever
since the present strike started. They
make no bones about showing that
this is the way they aim to fight the

WAR in the Coal Fields" in which
the secretary Of the Trade Union
Unity League, describes the strike of
the 10000 coal miners. Foster says,
This is one of the great, heroic
strikes in the country. The miners
now on strike fight for the first time
under their own leadership. 1t is a
good fight and terror will not crush

Pittsburgh Workers to
March on Conven-
ton Hall

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 3,-The
League of Struggle for Negro Rights
will lead a demonstration of Negro
and white workers at the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People hall, where now the
NAACP is carrying on another of
its traitorous betrayals of the Negro
people. The demonstration will be
Sunday.
The LSNR has addressed a state
rtent to the delegates to the NAACP
convention which points out that the
NAACP leaders have invited to speak
there most notorious enemies of the
Negro workers. They have. invited
Mayor Kline of Pittsburgh, whose
graft scandals are notorious, and in
whose regime thousands Of Negro and
white unemployed workers have been
evicted from their homes, whole 9TH
ers were brutally assaulted by his
police for demonstrating against
abuses.
The NAACP has also invited Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Jr., who went to
Porto Rico to suppress the workers
there. The NAACP has had as a
prominent part of its official pro-
ceedings, Editor Vann of the Pitts
burgh Courier, This paper called
the Scottsboro defendants 'rapists,"
and has always attacked the Inter-
national Labor Defense and the L..
s. N. r. for its militant defense of
the 8 Negro boys sentenced to death
on framed charges in Scottsboro,
Ala.
1.-THE important problem Of the Ne
gro masses in this country is to
struggle against lynching, Jim Crow
ism, discrimination and segregation,
etc." says the statement of the LSNR
and asks, Does the NAACP lead such
struggles2"
1t recites the history Of the NAACP
in the Scottsboro case as proof that
it does not. The NAACP began by
allowing every one to think the boys
were guilty; then hired lawyer to
interfere with the defense offered
by the lid then tried to dampen
down the mass protest against the
murder planned against these boys,
by telling the working class to "be
calm" and Justice will be DONE"
1.-THE only justice the working Ne
gro receives from the ruling class is
lynching, Jim Crowisn, starvation
and DEATH" says the LSNR state

Miners Message to
Working Class
Charleroi, Pa.

0IldIlEIOl,
Dear Editor:
Even those that are not working
or striking at the mines at Char
leroi have pity for the striking miners
and are with them solid. There are
several mines on strike here and the
miners are starving. We are deter
mined to win and we say to all the
workers and our friends: Send LIS
relief and we will fight better. OF
the 300 on strike here, every one OF
us goes on the picket line hungry.
Children Militant
Majority on the picket line are
children. They wake the miners
every morning with what they call
a kitchen band.
The strike section is flooded with
state police and believe me, they
have some time keeping the children
off the picket line. They say: Our
fathers are starving and fighting
and we must do the same thing.
Fight HeroicaIly
At mine No. 3 Of the Pittsburgh
Terminal Coal Co., 300 miners are
fighting heroically against all forces
of the bosses. The bosses are using
all the means of modern warfare
against us. One miner said that he
feels blow yet from 1927 strike and
is ready to take another blow--yes,
many of them, in order to win this
one. The miners say that this is
not merely strike; it is war.
A miner from mine number made
$500 one year and out Of that he had
to pay $500 for rent. One-hundred
dollars went for doctor bills an other
things that the coal company takes.
We must win this strike. If We
lose 1t we can not dream how bad
conditions will be in the mines.
Send lis food. That will help us win.
