{ working for the same boss in West
/ Virginia, are joining the National
Miners Union, aroused the enthus-
iasrn Of the members of the Central
Rank and File Strike Committee, and
wil doathe same for the Pittsburgh
Terminal miners. The Strike Com
mittee today made arrangements for
a joint conference of delegates of the
strikers and men still at work in
Pittsburgh Terminal mines, and del
egates of the Pursglove, West Va,
miners
The whole circumstances, the dis
cussion, the increased attendance,
the amountof actual work done, the
general feeling of optimism, in the
meeting today of the Central Rank
and File Strike Committee reflected
the good results of the National
Conference last week. The members
displayed the keenest interest in the
reports of district and sectional con-
ferences being held in Central Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Kentucky, West
Virginia and Ohio. They grinned in
satisfaction as the news spread of
the decision to strike the mines of
Central Pennsylvania, as they heard
of the growth of the National Miners
Union in Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia, as they comprehended that the
program of unity and action of the
historic national conference was be-
ing acclaimed by ever larger groups
of miners.
Speaker after speaker hammered
away on the main theme-noW that
the strike movement and the organ
lied movement in support of the
strike is spreading into new territory,
now is the time to finish the job in
Central Pennsylvania, now is the
time to build tighter and more eff
fective organization, establish more
rigid responsibility, and clean up the
Pittsburgh Terminal, Pittsburgh Coal
and Vesta mines-the spots where
the strike 1t not fully effective.
Something to improve the organi-
zation was done Immediately. The
Executive Committee, the leading
body between meetings of the full
strike committee, was reelected, on
the basis of better acquaintance
with the active and able strike lead
ers in the various localities. Only
those old members who had shown
real leadership we're retained, and
the Executive, as now constituted is:
From BrowsvilIe section: Cunning
ham. Paul Brown, Balinovich.
AvelIa: r. Jefferies, Ben Lux, Dan
Lane.
Csnonsburg: Frank Clingotr, Joe
SOmers, John MaStik.

Library: Henry Wilson, Mrs. Sarah
Campbell, Luther Williams.
Upper Monongahela: William Null
lins. Rigby.
Allegheny: Graham, Pomfret, and
one more to be added after nomi-
nation by the section strike commit

All the new executive committee
members were nominated by the del
egations from their sections and ac-
cepted unanimously by the whole
Central Rank and File Strike Com
mittee. Secretary of the Executive
is the secretary of the strike COM

other main organization step was the
establishment of Negro Depart

FIGHT TO THE END
By General Fabrics Worker

They tried to starve us back to
work. We answered with relief. They
tried to terrorize lis back to work
with clubs and tear gas. We kept
up the fight. They tried to fool US
back to work with Anna Weinstock
of the U. S. Department of Labor.
We ran her out of town. Let the
company grant our demands and we'll

that Paterson silk workers had voted
to go out in general strike on We'd
nesday. The Paterson silk strike will
have profound effect in many other
silk centers. The NTWU plans to
call a New England silk conference
in order to spread the struggle.
A substantial collection was taken
from the non-strikers in attendance
for strike relief. The General Fabrics
and Royal mills are still shut down
solid.
PUTNAM, Conn, July 23.-The M.
Salzberg silk mill here feeling the
solid stand of the strikers has al
ready been talking of comforting with
the workers. M, Salzberg, head Of
the plant, made statements to the
press offering substantial increase"
in wages" to the employees, a 48
hour week with three 8-hour day
shifts for the weavers and 55-hour
week, the same as at present, in the
twisting, winding and warping de-
partments. The proposals we're con-
sidered Wednesday by the mass of
the strikers. The indications are that
the strikers will not allow themselves
to be divided along craft lines since
they are solidly organized in the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union which
unites all the crafts and depart
ments in its ranks.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., July 23.-The
Providence Journal, the News Tribune
and the Evening Bulletin are vici-
ously lying about the Weybosset
(American Woolen Coz strike. These
papers are claiming that 500 of the
900 workers of the mill are back to
work. The truth is that only hand
full went in to work from the less
important departments of the mill,
mainly the sewing room, and these
are being gotten out again.
The Olneyville police (the capital
lists government iron fis0 are using
the bosses fake vote and the lies
in the capitalist press as pretext
for breaking up the picket lines. This
morning a number of the strikers
we're injured, including waite
Plante, chairman of the Strike Com
mittee.
The strikers sent delegation to
the mayor to demand the with
drawal Of the police interference
The mayor refused to see the COM
mittees. The delegation then went to
the Public Safety Commission Of the
State of Rhode Island to make the
same demand. The answer which
the strikers will get will convince
them all the more that strike break
ing is the regular function of the
capitalist government.

AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
BY Salzberg Worker, Putnam

Our strike of 300 workers started

Phrases reminiscent of the pop ulist uprisings in the middle west of 35 to 40 years ago were heard by some throngs addressed by labor leaders. political leaders, or champions of the common peo- pie" such as Governor William H Murray of Oklahoma who are rid ing to popularity on the crest of the wave of unrest and discontent. Most picturesque among the horde of speakers was Governor Murray who called for a change in government in 1892. and blamed the depression on international bankers" while denouncing Wall street as a great gambling den.'
 His address during Chicago's celebration of the golden jubilee of the American Federation of Labor was a fair sample of the theme of "discontent" which ran through practically every Labor day speech of note.
 Among others were:
 Senator William F. Borah. at Cottonwood. Idaho: "If the rich do not feed the poor this winter vol- unteriiy. nevertheless they will do it. If the wealth Of the country does not feed them. there's only one thing to do; Feed them from the public treasury, If the dole is established it wiil be forced bx

 Despite the danger of air racing, the 1891 program here was com pleted without a fatality. Although six planes were destroyed during the ten-day air show, their pilots either leaped to safety in para chutes or crawled from burning ships before the flames reached them.
 Walter Hunter, of Robertson, Mo-, was the only pilot seriously injured. He was burned when his plane caught fire in, mid-air.
 Six records fell during the ten days of racing and exhibition fiy- ing. Major Doolitte shattered three previous marks on his coast-to- coast dash. He won the Bendix derby, speeding over 2000 miles from Los Angeles to Cleveland in hours and 10 minutes. Flashing on to- New York, he bettered the previous time from Cleveland by 19 minutes.
 Bayles unofficially cracked the land plane record, and set a new Thompson trophy mark. Capt Bert White, Rock Hill, s. C., broke his own parachute jumping altitude record. He leaped 27,000 feet, near ly 2200 feet better than the former mark.

 "Bayles should break Al Will Hams, mark of 266 miles per hour," the aircraft manufacturer said. "Ie won the 100-mile Thompson race at an average of 236. He has beaten 266 unofficially. He can do it officially"
 Miss Tait averaged 1S7 for the 50-mile aerol race. She decided to make the attempt for the women's record after her victory.
 In addition to the speed attempt, Bayles and Granville are planning an assault on the transcontinental record of Il hours, 15 minutes es- tablished by Major James Doolittle, the Springfield manufacturer re- vealed.
 we will go after Major Doolitte's record" he said. "The perform ance of the plane Bayles. piloted in the Thompson event, indicates he will stand fine chance of setting a new record. We have not set a date for the flight"
 To win the Thompson trophy and $7,500 in cash, the diminutive Bay les, who weighs only 120 pounds, defeated seven of the nations lead ing speed pilots. He flashed into the lead at the first pylon, and steadily increased his margin. His elapsed time for the 100 miles around a closed course was 25 min- utes, 25.SS seconds.
 J. H. Wedell, Patterson, La, fin- ished second to the Springfield pi- lot, averaging 227 miles an hour.

 Robert Hall fourth with POI.
 Jackson struck tree on the first lap, damaging the right wing of his plane. He finished, however, a favorite by virtue of his trans continental dash, was forced out of the seventh lap. He was in sec- ond place when motor trouble pre- vented him from finishing.
 Describing the race, Bayles, the 31-year-old coal miner who dug in the earth to earn money to fly above it, said everything went smooth and nice" He attributed his success to Hall and Granville.
 "The glare of the sun bothered me around some of the pylons," he told the United Press. "But, the little ship was running so smoothly, I just couldn't lose." I knew Gran ny and Maude were pulling for me down there on the ground. Our outfit sure sticks together"

thority came word to-day that the Ohio lake city-scene of the per- functory renomination of President Coolidge in 1924-is being favored by the administration for what is expected to be the perfunctory re- nomination of President Hoover.
 These authorities in the party ordinarily would be expected to prevail when the republican na- tional committee meets here in December to make the official choice. But Atlantic City, and Chi cago are putting up a stout fight for the honor. Other cities are ex- pected to enter the contest shortly.
 Cleveland itself is doing nothing yet to get the convention. No fund has been raised and no bid authorized. However, the treasurer of the national committee, James R, Mutt, is leading banker of the Ohio city and word has been passed around in political circles that bid will be ready when the occasion arises.
 Another Ohioan, Chairman Simeon D. Fess of the committee, is understood to be ready to back Cleveland. With other personal ad- visors of MT Hoover siding with Fess and Mutt, it will take a for midable force in the national com mittee to move the convention elsewhere.

The opinion prevailed that the gallant Englishman and his illfated boat were made the victims of a bit of applied psychology and lured across the starting line of the race qualified. The rules of the rave disqualify any boat crossing the line more than five seconds before the starting gun.
 Don's disqualification snatched the trophy from his grasp when it seemed almost certain he would carry it back to England. In the first heat Sunday he had driven the 4,000 horsepower hydroplane around the 30-mile course in the fastest time ever seen in trophy race. He led the Miss America TX by a mile, beating Wood for the first time. since he won the trophy in 1920.
 How did I do it?" said Don. "Why. got in front and stayed there."
 Wood said little, but he swore he would take the lead in the second heat and "stay there" himself.
