mines have sent out word they are
ready to strike.
Sheriff Charnoff of Brooke County
and his deputies are raging around,
trying to prevent miners from get
ting the strike news or anything that
would help to organize them for
struggle. The sheriff and his men
break into private houses and con-
fiscate copies of the Daily Worker
and strike leaflets or N. M. U. or
United Front leaflets wherever they
find them. If the owner tries to
argue that these are his, or if he
seems to have some for distribution,
they arrest him. They broke into
strike relief kitchens and arrested all
N charge because copies Of leaflets
and Daily Workers were found. They
nave even seized copies of the Daily
Workers coming through the mails,
md discovered with the wrappers
till on them.

Dorsey's bond was set originally at
$1,000 When this was provided, they
raised the bond to $4,000. When
that, too, was provided by the In
ternational Labor Defense, they
raised the bail to $500, and, losing
patience, frankly and plainly told
the defense that if they dared to
come back again with money for
bail they would raise the amount
required out of sight and end the
safne. but that they were not going
to let Dorsey out Of Jail while the
strike lasts. Dorsey is Negro
miner, member OF the Central
Rank and File Strike Committee and
OF its executive committee.
In this part of West Virginia, as
in some parts of Western Pennsyl-
vania, attempts are made to terrorize
farmers into denying the use of their
land for strike meetings. Only here
it takes cruder form. 1t is not a
matter Of either brides or financial
pressure, the deputies and state po-
lice just come and tell the farmer
not to dare to let a striker come on
his place, if he knows what is good
for him.
In one case, farmer was given
notice by the coal company TO move
off his own land.
The miners are not terrified, they
are sending a delegation soon to

Harlan Miners Ready to Spread
Strike, Must Get Relief Immediately

PITTSBURGH Pa, Aug. 1.-Word
was brought TO the International La
Dor Defense here Friday of a new
and extreme brutality practiced on
miners family by Governor Pin
chot's state police. The I. L. D. is
taking up the case.
Mike Wrestiak, the miner, was
hurt two years ago in the mine.
He got some compensation, but it
stopped while ago. The company
then served him with an eviction no.
tice, although he was entirely unable
to work yet. When he did not move
out fast enough to suit the company,
state police came, on July 7, and
broke into Wrestiak's house and beat
him up horribly. Then they threw
all the furniture out into the road
and smashed it. Wrestiak's wife,
Anna, fled from the police clubs and
hid all night in the woods, but was
captured in the morning. The po-
lice took both Wrestiak and his wife
TO Woodville and had them commit
ted to an insane asylum, as an ex-
cuse for the barbarism practiced
upon them, though dozens Of neigh
bors are ready to testify they are not
in the least insane. Wrestiak's two
small children we're seized and car
ried off to an orphanage.

Todays meeting was arranged in
Buttonwood, Pa, a small mining
town several miles away from
Wilkes-Ba The meeting opened
at 7 pm, with about so to rs work
ers and their wives present, but
gradually more and more workers
came, increasing the number to about
400, and listened very attentively to
what the speaker was saying. When
the next speaker got on the box and
after speaking for about Is minutes
a fat cop got out of big car and
grabbed hold of Comrade zaldokis,
who was speaking. He pulled him
toward the car, telling him that he
was under arrest.
The protest was so great that the
cop got scared, began looking for
his back pocket, where either his
gun or blackjack was, and then he
let the speaker go.

at His feet and drank in the beauti
full words as they fell from the Mas
ter's lips. That was why he had at.
tributed to Mary as having chosen
the good part, far superior to any
elaborate meal that could be prepar-
ed by Martha for her guests COM

This same Christ is liable to be
the guest of people living today
when He knocks at the door OF
their hearts, let Him in. The words
which he will utter will be just as
sweet as those which Mary heard
nearly two thousand years ago in
the little village of Bethany.
But Christ was not always among
friends. The lesson of today says He
was often found among foes.
The Pharisees were enemies of
Jesus. They couldn't for moment
stand that which any one should
preach a doctrine that would in any
way soften or abolish any of the
tenets connected with Mosaic law.
These foes He was compelled to
combat, which He succeeded in doing
until the time when He; should be
Offered up for the sins Of the world.
We have Pharisees in the world at
the present time. Do you know any
of them?
The pastors morning sermon was
based on Luke 1873. He quoted the
three parallels spoken by Christ in
this chapter. "The lost Sheep" "the
piece of silver" and "the prOdigal
SON." 1t was a discourse which
brought out in plain terms Gods in
tense love for the human soul, and
the great depths He will go to res
urrect and bring to life, the soul
which is on the downward road to
ruin. 1t was fine.

Jesus no doubt was weary and tired,
and he sought rest at the home Of
Martha and Mary who resided in the
small village OF Bethany. He had on
former occasions received the hos
pitality of this humble home. LaZ-
arus, Martha and Mary had the
proud distinction of being the per-
sonal friends of Jesus Christ.

conversation took place between
Mary and. He Who was to be |

The two sisters were different in
many ways. Martha was one of those |
active beings who was never salts

sister was of a very quiet nature and
did not think it necessary to go to
