Starving miners of Henryetta
Okla organized a hunger march to
grocery Sores and demanded food
according to an Associated Press
dispatch from that city.
Driven by hunger and without
militant leadership the miners let
themselves be led by a preacher.
Fearful Of the growing militancy of
the miners, Governor Murray pro
missed" them aid He told them to
go back to work, though the miners
can find no jobs, but he undoubted-
ly is trying to arrange for the miners
work at the lowest starvation
wages ever offered.
To prepare plans against the hun
cry miners, officials of Murray and
Henryetta City, Oklahoma, have ar
ranged conference. They know that
the miners who have been given
nothing but promises will come back
more determined than ever to fight
rather than to die of hunger.

SUBWAY MEN
GET PAY Gu 7
ON AUGUST LIST

NEW YORK. - A wage cut has
been handed 10000 workers on the
3. M. T. subway lines in order to
keep up the profits of the stockhold-
ers. The wage cut goes into effect
on August First.
The company is announcing the
wage cut says that the company
union approved of the reduction. The
company union approved, but being
a union which serves the company,
the men were not called together to
vote on the new agreement; it was
put over directly by the company Of
flcials
The cut which is different for each
worker, averaging around 10 per cent,
saves the company half million a
year. This money is turned over to
the parasites who own the stock of
the company, while the men and their
families, already underpaid, must eat
less.
In some cases the hours of the
men are reduced, and their wages
cut. In all cases, motormen get their
wages cut through cut in monthly
bonus. A bonus of $500 was paid for
lack of accidents. Now this "bonus"
is cut in half. The bonus in reality
was a form of wages, as admitted
by the company The New York
Times, commenting on the bonus"
cut says:
THE halving of this bonus, 1t was
estimated. would cut the wages of all
motormen, trainmen and conductors,
excluding subway and elevated mo-
tormen, by one cent an hour"
