How to Collect Relief for the
Striking Miners i.
BY H. STRONG tClevelandl.

THE question of miners relief has been late
in getting a serious start in Cleveland A
committee was formed with delegates coming
from our mass organizations and the Party
units. From these delegates we obtained the
name of fraternal sick and death benefit and
other workers organizations, in order to visit
them for donations and delegates and in this
way enlarged committee.
We had some miners come in from the strike
field and used them in approaching A. F, of L,
locals. We succeeded in getting into quite
number of these in spite of the officials. The
best means to break into the locals where we
have no contacts is to arrive about half hour
before the meeting time and mingle with the
members, talking of the strike and of its ir1s-
portance to the entire working class, and of the
necessity for solidarity We got into at least
four locals through this means, and out of one
got very good contact who came to the office
and took several collection lists with him for
other members of the local
We were also late in approaching the liberals.
We got on the job, however, and visited a num-
Der of liberals who were quite sympathetic to
the strike ay2a responded with checks.
Another thing we took advantage of was the
letters to- the-edtor column in the capitalist
press We had followed the strike news in the
local papers, and came across Muste's appeal for
the miners in w. Va. We then wrote to the
paper calling attention to the Pennsylvania
OhioW. Va. relief committee right here in
Cleveland, and had the letter published. On
the strength of this, "a reporter from the paper
came and asked about our work. asked for more
stories and gave our tag days some publicity. An
examiner saw the story and came to the office
saying he wanted to help We took two of the
miners to another of the local papers for an in
terview, with the result that they also gave. us
some publicity, even printing the addresses of
our stations for the tag days
At present three Of the largest capitalist
papers in the city take all our releases. We wrote
up an interview with the miners and sent it to
all the local papers, both English and foreign
language. AS the result of our story in Ger

flee with donation of money and clothes
We got in touch with a well-known liberal
writer in the city He came to the office and
we took up the question of establishing COM

AGAIN the Alabama landlords and capitalists
n have unleashed their bloody terror against
the Negro masses Negro troopers around Camp
Hill, Alabama, who dared to organize to resist
the robbery of the landowners and storekeepers
and who in the meetings of their union dared
to raise the demand for the release of the nine
innocent Scottsboro boys have been ruthlessly
shot down and murdered by the police agents
of the Alabama white ruling class
And again, in the face of this latest horror
this new outrage against the Negro people and
the working class, the leaders of the N. A. A.
G. P are to be found giving objective support
to the boss murderers of the Negro workers.
AS in the Scottsboro case, it is not the boss
lynchers of Alabama who draw the fire of the
toadles of imperialism at the head of the N. A.
A. G. P, but the white and Negro Communists
who are organizing and leading the struggles of
the prosecuted Negro people for better condi-
tons against the most outrageous racial and
economic oppression.
In a statement in the N Y Herald Tribune on
Sunday, July 10, William Pickens, field secre-
tary of the N. A. A. c. P, openly SUPPORTS the
Alabama bosses in their challenge of the right
of Negro workers to organize to protect their
interests and their right to protest the hideous
Scottsboro legal lynching. Pickens is quoted by
the Tribune as saying that planters Of the re-
gion were only too glad to have the Scottsboro
case injected, as it gave them an excuse to
proceed against the share troopers union"
So because the share troopers dared to pro-
test against the Scottsboro outrage in their
union meetings, Mr.. Pickens condones and JUS
titles the bloody attack on the troopers by the
landowners and their police agents. He navely
speaks of the injection" of the Scottsboro case
as giving the landowners an excuse" He in
sinuates that the attack would not have &C.
CURED had not the CHOPPERS denounced the
Scottsboro mass murder. He ignores the SIM
liar case of the Arkansas poems. Ignores, in
fact hundreds of similar attacks by the south
ern landowners on the attempts of the Negro
poems and share choppers to resist the robbery
of the landlords and Storekeepers.
In his statement to the boss press Pickens
peddles the boss lie of the 'servile psychology"
munists) misunderstood the situation and the
psychology Of the American Negro and of the
South" He openly jeers at the leadership of
the Negro proletariat which is steadily wrest-
ing the hegemony over the Negro masses away
from the cowardly, traitorous Uncle Tom re-
formist leadership of which Pckens is part and
parcel. He refers to the Negro Industrial and
proletariat" and upholds the lie of the bosses
of food writing first-hand stories on the con-
ditions of the miners, etc. Similar work can
easily be done in any large town.

N. A. A. C. P. Treachery Again

that the massacre at Camp HILL Alabama was
an outbreak" ON the part of the Negro work
ers, which, as outbreak" he describes as
"a desperate and vain effort to win the so-called
Negro proletariat' to the Communist Party"
In the same way, Walter White, secretary of
the N. A. A. G. P. rushes to the defense of his
imperialist masters, the bloody murderers of the
Negro. masses. Supporting the boss position
that the militant demands of the colored and
white workers for the release of the innocent
nine scottsboro boys are threats" against the
officials of Alabama, White declares in a state
ment in Sundays capitalist papers:
1--WE have feared trouble because of the man
ner in which the Communists have made bonn
bastic and empty threats in the Scottsboro
cases."
This is not the first time that walter White
and other officials of the N. A. A. c. P. have
sought to incite the Alabama boss lynchers
against the radical Negro and white workers
and to justify in advance any brutal terror the
bosses may prepare against the Negro people
Mr.. Pickens, speaking in Chattanooga, Tenn, on
June It'll, publicly advised, LET the white peo-
pie of Alabama and the South sit up and take
notice" In the same way Rev. j. R. Bowen

following demand by workers that she be
permitted to speak.
In its May 16 issue, the Pittsburgh Courier,
one of the few Negro papers supporting the
N. A. A. G. P. leaders deliberately sought to
justify any terror that the bosses might I'M
leash, preparing this Justification in advance on
the grounds that colored and white workers
daring to raise their voices in protest against
the horrible frame-up of the Scottsboro boys
would finally drive the citizens of Alabama to
the point of desperation"
1t is in times of struggle like these that the
Negro masses can learn the real character of
the wavering, treacherous leadership which, with
the help Of the white imperialistS, has been i'm
posed upon them for the past several decades
1t is in times of struggle that the Negro
masses will learn who are their real friends and

A WAR VETERANS CALL AGAINST WAR

August First is approaching. This will be the 18th
anniversary of the day when the declarations of war
we're exchanged which opened the great world slaugh-
ter. This will be the 18th anniversary when the armies
began to march which for four years killed another
to defend their respective so-caled Netherlands which
fortified the fields OF Europe with the blood of the
sons Of the working class which destroyed villages and
cities, homes and factories.
On this 18th anniversary Of the beginning of the
world we have good to recall to memory
the scenes and experiences which witnessed as par
Elephants in this great slaughter The atmosphere pre-
ceding that memorable first Of August, 1914 is the
atmosphere of today War is again in the air Arma-
ments being produced wholesale; poison gases are
being developed; warsps being constructed; bomb
ing planes and tanks being built.
In this hour, and with the memory of August 1914
haunting us, appeal to you to fight against the
repetition of that slaughter.
You millions Of working women, the mothers, the
wives and the sisters of the soldiers in the last war
remember the days when you accompanied your son,
your husband your brother to the station Remember
your tear drenched handkerchiefs Remember the wav-
ing hands and hats signaling goodbye the train
left carrying your beloved to the training camp or
to the front Remember the tears shed during the long
months and years of Remember the fearful ap-
prehensons with which you received the official letter
that told you that your son, your husband or your
brother had died the death of honor on the battle
fields To remember those days means again to live
through the anxeties of these months and years It
means again to remember the pains of hunger again

remember the nausea caused by all the artificial food

Then he suggests that we reprint the articles,

that Bible students may be vastly interested in

principally, not by cooking in aluminium pots.
but by not having anything to cook in any pot.
So for all the evidence that aluminium uten-

"Acts of God"

Concerning the refusal of the Red Cross to
feed the starving coal miners-they are starving
even where they are workingl-on the grounds
that the Red Cross allows assistance only in
cases called "acts of God" we observe that the
Red Cross was chartered by Act of Congress,
not of God, and its charter was signed by
President Roosevelt in 1905
Moreover, that charter, in addition to speci-
flying that the Red Cross is supposed to aid the
armies in time of war, declares:
"And to continue and carry on a system Of
national and international relief in time Of
peace and to apply the same in mitigating the
sufferings caued by pestilence FAMINE, fire.
floods AND other national calamities, and TO
devise and carry measures for preventing
the same"
OF course to expect the Red Cross to feed
workers or poor toiling farmers is dippy idea
it is a part of capitalism's war machine But
even though it crawls out of tight corner by
mentioning "acts of God" we recall very clearly
the statement made by a Pennsylvania coal
mine owner many years ago, who said that God
in his infinite wisdom has given us owners the
coal mines"
That being the case, one might well charge
the mine owners starvation wages I'D to God
and send bill to the Red Cross on the basis
of it's own declaration that it can only save from
death those people whom God is trying to kill.
1t looks like a rather sacriligious activity for
the Red Cross to confess, but there 1t Is. Take
it or leave it.
However where God overlooks the chance to
massacre somebody, the Red Cross tries to even
things up. Thus we are informed from reliable
quarters that whole ship1oads of munitions are
being shipped from the Navy Yard in San
Francisco by Army Transports to the Philip
pines. labelled RED CROSS SUPPLIES"
In the Philippines they are transferred to
British and Swedish tramp steamers at Cavite
Naval Station, and sent to China to. help
Chang Kai-Shek shoot down the workers and
peasants who revolt against the terrible SUI
ferings inflicted on them by imperialism and
native parasites.
Thus the Red Cross is the despicable mask
for capitalist starvation and murder Of the
workers at home and abroad
