OPEN FIGHT IMMINENT
FOR NITRATE MARKET
az the Assoeiated PICS.

SANTIAGO, Chile, August 15.-An
open fight for the worlds nitrate market
appeared imminent as CoSach, the gov
eminent producing syndicate, announced
a price cut on natural nitrate in the
European market.
Alfred Houston, general manager for
the Guggenheim Bros Office here, said
the move was a protective measure de-
signed to meet the competition Of syn
thetic nitrate products.
The development follows upon the
failure of international conferences held
recently in Europe to reach an agree
ment stabilizing the nitrate market.

IA Harlan Coal Miner, Charged
with Criminal Syndicalism, and

First I want to give the reader
little geographic sketch OF Har-
Ian County. the center of the coal
mining done In Kentucky. It is
located in the Cumberland Noun
tains, which Is the headwaters of
the Cumberland river. There are
three principal forks OF this river
that averages about 30 miles in
length. These forks are named
Martins Fork, Clover Fork and
Pore Fork. These forks have many
mining camps, which several of the
largest companies in the country
own.
Harlan town is located at the
junction of these forks in small
narrow valley. The mountains of
this section are very high steep and
rough; and have three to four
seams of coal in each mountain,
and quite bit Of timber yet. The
only resource in this part of the
country is coal mining. The Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad runs
thru here. The only railroad

ago when this part of the country
was in more primitive state, when

same interests that today seek to

attacks against the working class.
The Mooney Harlan Scottsboro
Campaign is the building of our re-
sistance. the organization of the
counter offensive OF the whole
working class. It is on this basis
that the demonstrations now being
carried through must develop into
mighty mass outpourings into the
streets Of great throngs of workers
not yet drawn into the struggle.
