FOSTER POINTS
OUT NECESSITY
FOR RELIEF
WIR Outlines Agenda
for Conference

In a statement issued by Comrade
Foster today the Importance of in
creasing the tempo of relief for the
striking miners was made clear. The
new tactics to be pursued by the
National Miners Union cannot be
successfully carried out unless the
miners are provided with adequate
relief. More than ever before,
Comrade Foster said, "the need for
relief from starvation is desne-ottc. "
Rally to the aid of the striking min
ers, rush aid TO The Penn-Ohio
Striking Miners Relief Committee,
Room 800, 799 Broadway!
That relief is of prime importance
to the successful waging of strikes
has been most clearly been taught by
the present strikes in the coal and
textile industries. Starvation is the
strongest weapon the bosses can
weld against the working class. With
hunger the capitalists hope to force
the workers to accede to their mis-
cradle conditions. With starvation
they work to break the growing Soli-
darity Of the toiling workers. The
National Conference of the Workers
International Relief which will be
held at Pittsburgh August 29th and
30th, will be an important step for
ward in the building of powerful
mass organization permanently ready
to supply relief on the basis of soil
darity.
The agenda for the National Con-
ference is announced by Marcel
Scherer, national secretary of the
WIR., as follows;

on Straight Street. There were
twenty workers on each shift before
the strike. Now after the shop has

At the meeting of the workers of
the Colonial Throwing plant the
girls decided to stay out on strike
until their demands we're met by the
boss and the NTWU was recognized.
The boss had gone to some of the
girls at their homes and had offered
them raises of 50 to So which would
have raised their wages to $40 to
SIS rate. He refused to recognize the
NTWU and the girls decided to stay
out
At the Wrappers meeting today a
committee was elected to investigate
the warping plants where the girls
are working as learners at from $40
to $22 a week. This committee will
also mobilize the Wrappers for the
strike.

To the CoVerdale relief kitchen,
125 miners working under the scab
United Mine Workers Union of Am
erica agreement came begging for
something to eat. Although they
worked three days a week under this
union" agreement, the men were
so starved that they came to the
strikers relief kitchen as taking for a
bite to eat. Every day more workers
from the Terminal mines bring out
their tools-to join the strike against
this grinding hunger.
All through the cial fields, hunger
is extreme. One hard boiled company
doctor admitted that most of the
children in the coal fields-to say
nothing Of their parents-have tuber-
culosis. Il guess they've got kick
coming on that score, alright" he
remarked with a shrug Of his Shout
ders.
The striking miners have many
kicks" coming. So have their wives
and children. That's why they are
all in the battle, fighting with a grim
determination in the face of the most
extreme terror labor history has
known.
Feet swollen from walking the
roads without shoes, bodies barely
covered with one whole garment,
men, women and children march
upon the mines, fighting for the right
to life itself. Trained dogs snap at
their feet, growl, terrorize the chill
dren The dogs often carry the tear
gas for the state to cossacks- first
aid" they call it
The fight against starvation is a
bitter one. The miners expect this
and more from the "law." But they
look to their fellow workers to help
them face this terror, to stand behind
them in this struggle. They look to
you to help feed them while they are
forging ahead, chin up. One meal a
day is what they ask Of you On this
meal, they will walk miles to picket
lines, face the cosSacks-their clubs,
castings, bullets.
One miner collapsed from hunger
died on the steps of tie relief station
in Barking. Others, actively engaged
in strike work from dawn to mid
night, are weakening for lack of a
! little food.

TOLEDO, Ohio August ia huge
bank crash, involving the four lead
ing banks in this city, with deposits
of over $10o,ooo,OoO will deprive tens

The closing of these four banks, the
Commerce Guardian Trust and Saw
ings, the Ohio Savings Bank and
Trust Co., the Commercial Savings
Bank and Trust Co., and the Amer

instability in the banking situation.

200 WHITE PLAINS
WORKERS HEAR OF
STRIKE SELL-OUT
Many Can't Get Into
Overpacked Hall

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Aug IL
Over 200 road workers who had been
on strike here against wage cuts,
and most of whom are now unem-
'''@--"| - ,c~~c IT the call of the
White Plains Workers Center, last
Saturday. Since the hall was packed
to capacity over 100 workers were
forced to stay outside.
A representative of the Trade
Union Unity League spoke urging
them to keep up the fight against
the wage cut and to demand $500 a
day instead of the $500 offered by
the bosses. The A. F. of L.. leader
ship was branded as a strikebreak-
ing agency which betrayed the
strike.
Many of the workers were Spanish
speaking. Comrade Machado spoke
on the revolutionary situation in
Spain. Machado exposed the role
played by the anarchists and syndi-
calists which led them into the camp
of the A. F. of L. betrayers instead
of lining up with the revolutionary
leadership Of the T.UUL.
When the anarchists tried to usurp
the meetings, the workers voted that
they should not be given the floor
again, after they had spoken once.
The workers refused to listen to them
any longer.

Financial Editor
Warns Big Bosses
Masses Will Revolt

NEW YORK.-Declaring that
financial and business leaders"
have now become the real
rulers" B. C. Forbes, financial
editor of the New York American,
in Fridays issue of his paper
warns these rulers of the United
States that they must beware of
the growing mass discomfort due
to the advancing economic crisis.
Economic revolutions have be-
come the modern danger" is the
way Forbes tries to inform the
ruling class that the workers are
no longer content to starve on the
breadline, or in the shops, with
sweeping wage-cuts going on.
1.-THE situation at this moment
carries a serious warning to
those who have arrOgated to
themselves rulership in this
country, our towering finan-
ciers, our billion-dollar banks,
our corporate OctOpuses."
Thus, Forbes only complaint is
that the bosses are not acting
drastically enough against the
workers. He feels that the work
ers no longer swallow the lies of
the ruling class. For this reason
not only increased brutality is
necessary, but more phrases of
the kind flung out by Pinchot,
and backed by William Randolph
Hearst, the owner of the news
papers for which Forbes writes.
Forbes goes on to tell the bosses
the following:
"This statement can be made
in the most sober truthfulness:
Never before were the real
rulers of this land, the con-
trollers of billion dollar and
ether gigantic financial and
business enterprises. held in
such low esteem by the vast
majority of American citizens"

troll Of Hungary'S finances. TO whom
this nation became indebted for tn
most efficient and unSe-fisn Sft-
vices he rendered us during A Pc
Rod Of over two years.
To-day, though the situation Is
still very difficult. / think this ma
ton has passed the climax OF us
postwar misiortunes and icy looS
forward TO a better issue in the iu-
ture. The state budget is well bal
anced. THE currency is absolutely
stable. Law and order reign through
out the country. The foreign trade
balance shows a slight excess in the
value OF exports over imports.
I'VE have accomplished q very
considerable agrarian reform BY
which about $500, 900 acres OF arabic
soil have been distributed among
those who UP TO now had owned no
land at all. We have r~eorganized
our political life by creating a new
parliament consisting or two cham
beers and have inaugurated quite a
new system OF workmen's relief and
social assurance.
Cites PIebiscite
I'm the domain OF foreign rela-
tons I may point first Of all to the
plebiscite in Sopron by which that
city and its surrounding region. or
iginally allotted 10 Austria. came
back to Hungary, to which IL had
belonged for a thousand years.
The first nation to reach out a
friendly hand to us was Italy. with
which country we concluded q
treaty Of friendship, Cancellation
and arbitration. This first treaty
was followed by a great many sim
liar ones, among others that con-
Guided about a year ago with the
United States. We have signed the
kellogg Pact and even the so-called
option clause re.ating 10 the In
ternational Court OF Arbitration in
the Hague. whereby Hungary gave
fullest evidence OF her absolutely
peaceful intentions.
Trusts To Future
The evolution OF our future
policy Will be a direct continuation
Of its past. First OF all, 7 beg TO
emphasize that Hungary wants TO
arrive at her aims by an absolutely
peaceful policy: that Is. only by
availing herself OF all those means
which r at the disposal OF her
diplomatic services
This nation will never Jump
into adventures. However. there is
not one Hungarian who would not
trust that in the ultimate end lust
ice must win the upper hand ana a
new and wise reorganization OF the
destroyed economic units OF Europe
IS bound to take place sooner or
later.
Il may set forth the future line
OF Hungary's foreign policy In the
following cardinal points:
Justice TO those who have been
unjustly treated.
Equality and q square deal to
those who have been precipitated
into injustice.
Union for those who have been
separated BY force and against
their own will.
7 am afraid that without the
accomplishment OF these points. the
peace, aye, the very civilization OF
Europe, Is most seriously leopard
