Mass Starvation, Swindling, Wage
Cuts, Terror for the Coal Miners

during this depression. The Cabin

Gently ordered tina teach miner. be
allowed 81 of scrip per day to be
traded at its stores for food and
clothing for the miners family-this
amount to be charged against his
earnings. No other company has Of
fered penny of credit. An appro-
priation by the state legislature for
emergency food relief has been al
most exhausted in 30 days, and no
more can be had from that SOURCE.
One miner walked 27 miles to ask
for help and died of starvation as
he approached Charleston.
Join the n. NJ. T.!
Scott, testifying about starvation
among the miners in West Virginia,
rather under estimates the situation,
in the opinion of National Miners
Union members. Scott is an official
of Frank Keeney's union, split off
from the United Mine Workers Of
America when the Lewis Fishwick
peace was patched up a few weeks
ago
Borich, of the national office of
the N. M. u. in a recent interview
states that the swinding through
company stores is not confined to
West Virginia, 49,.
Miners are forced to buy goods
in company stores" states Borich.
IF they do not buy enough, they
lose their jobs. Lately the COM
panies have been introducing safety
gas masks, safety pants, safety
shoes. ETC. so much that if a miner
buys them all it will" cost him $50.
In some districts if a miner cannot
buy the whole outfit he loses his
job. And these things have to be
bought in company stores.
Wooden Money.
"There are many coal mines that
have their own money" states Bo-
rich, THE company pays miners
with this money SO that they can
deal only in company stores, Then
there is the blacklist, yellow dog con-
tract system, control of company
towns etc, so that actually small
feudal governments are developed in
the towns, with the coal and iron
police in control This, with the
terrific wage-cuts and only two or
three days work a week for those
that have jobs, and with more than
half unemployed altogether, means
mass Starvation. 1t is not a rare
incident now for a miner to faint in
the mine He goes to- work without
anything to eat and CouapseS, under
the speed-up." ia -~-- 81
Scots Union" Does Nothing.
The union" of Howat and Scott
and Keeney has never done anything
for the miners. The only organiza-
ton that fights continually for inn
proved conditions and against wage
cuts and SWindling of the miners
and which demands relief, is the
National Miners Union.
BY building up this union, by or
ganizing in councils of the unenl-
ployed, by staging great demon
stration for unemployment relief on
May l, along with the mass demon
strations on that day of the ex-
plotted workers OF all capitalist coun-
tries, this starvation can be fought
against.

without relief, are going out and de-
