The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-06-27

We repeat this does not tell even part of the story
as can be seen from little news item in the Daily
Worker why the miners strike in Western Penn
sylvana. There find that miner employed by
the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Co. had earned in two
weeks $2547. The amount, however, deducted by the
Company for smithing, explosives, doctor insurance
bath house. and board totaled exactly $25.47 The
miner received no money.
Compare this with the rise in profits. We call DR..
Klein, Hoover's Assistant Secretary of Commerce to
testify in the matter. Unwllingly he forced admit
that "n the period from 1921 to 1929 the to in
dustriass 70 per cent whereas the gain divi
dends industrials and rails 256 per cent"
The Capitalist Reaction the Counter Offensive of
the Workers.
Is the working class accepting without fight this
mercess sashing of its standard of living and the i'm
periast preparations for and military interven-
ton? No The workers fighting back. They
compelled to fight back with all the mitancy and
force at their disposal some countries like Ger
and Poland where the crisis and the revolution
airy movement are more advanced, the working class
is developing counter offensive, preparing to fight
for power.
The working class of the United States is also
fighting back. We it in the militant unemployed
struggles the fight against the lynchings of Negroes
and the deportation of foreign BORN in the protests
against the oppression Of the colonial peoples-espe
cialy in the Caribbean--by American imperialism, and
in the developing wide struggles against wage cuts.
More reaction and persecution is the only answer
Of the capitalist class to the stffenng resistance o. the
masses. The capitalist class and its government
adopting with increasing frequency methods of open
dictatorship fascist methods of rule, to suppress the
workers and their movements The existing capitalist
democracy is nothing else but dictatorship of the
capitalist class but it conceal its real nature in order
to deceive the However the struggle grows
sharper the capitalist class throws to the winds
cealment and camouage revealing openly its dictator
ship in its full brutality 9
In preparation for crushing all resistance to
and military intervention the capitalist class of the
United States will openly and rthessly demonstrate its
dictatorship in the country. The reactionary fascist
and war recommendations of the infamous Fish Com
mittee thus being put into effect.
The American working class will not be tanned
terrorzed by the capitalist reaction This is confirmed
together with their wives and children fighting
starvation like soldiers in battle, defending themselves
the attacks of the Pennsylvania State Cossacks
and the Company thugs. The great danger to the de-
veloping struggles against the capitalist offensive the
demagogy and treachery of the leaders of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor who supported by the So
cialist Party. These must be especially watched and
fought against the enemies and traitors within
midst
The capitalist offensive against the working class
is directed toward the objective the capitalist
offensive against the Soviet Union Therefore, the
working counter offensive must be directed against
military intervention and for the defense of the So
Wet Union
