which contained however effective program of rev.

the traitorous role of the NAACP leaders

Immediately Mrs. Wright revealed her pres

How Hoover Does It

= fComrade Jorge: Here is how to work out .
Score-Year Plan: During the second winter Of
depression, choose month, say February: and
make prediction that everything will be K O.
in go days. If at the end of go DAYS there Is no
improvement even if there is lessening of en
ployment we should not be in the least dis
mayed but just make another prediction for "a
days service
when this three months period PLAYS itself
out without bringing back any of the lost pros
per1ty; throw away all short predictions
and try arithmetic starting with addition. Now
add the 60 and 80 days. However, we must re-
sst the temptation, to put the result to work
predicting, because Christmas is coming, due to
the fact that the $50 days will only carry us az
far as Thanksgiving Day.
so we will have to use stronger calculation
We times our $50 days. but here again as this
product of days does not cover the four seasons,
and falls short even of reaching to the next
summer, we cannot make technicians forecast
Then, good old Hope is callcu m; we throw
both arms around him, sit tight, and watch for
depression being churned into prosperity by the
eartIl's turning around 300 times If we fail
again to guage the momentum of good times it
is plain that the fault lies in the inexactness OF
addition and multiplication due to the war; over
speculation, and the success of the Bolshivih
with the Five Year Plan. Consequently, we dis
card the number racket and fish out commits
sion to shamwicker mathematics
"The $50 days of experimenting has carried us
into the middle of the next June, long time TO
live on coffee and doughnuts,--even though one
did not look very much at the holes-hence we
must hurry, get more rapid, and cast about for
hamfish or red herring to give to the peepul.
1.-THE next step in our system is plainly
marked. We need not delay, for nothing daunts
the great men of our great country and nothing
is left to remain unfinished; nor undedicated,
but only delayed until they get fall guy to
take the rap We arrange an unofficial invitation
to address an EDITORIAL Convention, preferably

banks are sound.
"These gentlemen who match over our press
wanted something different, something compre-

eat, clothes of every hue and kind all this, plus
education, n-20 years, and done by Hoover, by

Coal Strike

originally thrown.
Iruckloads of pickets arrive at Vesta Mine No
4. Daylight is just beginning to break so YOU
can read the sheriff's proclamation DECLARING
That any congregation of more than three would
be declared Illegal The picket line congregates
and hundreds mass and march.
Edward the vice-president of the company
that owns VeSta Mine No. 4, arrives to supervise
the gunner. He refused to make a statement
on how many men are at work in the mine Or
dinarily 5000 men are employed there Now we
count 462 scabs going over the bridge stopping
like rats some hestating, others taking furtive
glances at the picket line
A lot of the men who 60 to work are terror
lied into it. Richeyville is the company patch
tmine-owned town where most of the Vesta 4
miners live The company has built an eight
foot board fence around the entrance to the town
and to the mine. The town is on one side of the
road, the mine on the other. bridge crosses
over 1t, too has high board fence The men
who go to work stoop down behind the fence,
over the bridge and into the mine
Before the whistle blows guards station them
selves in the streets of Richeyville If a miner
tries to join the picket line he is forced back at
the point of gun We see one break through
anyhow. He still wears his mine clothes and has
taken his life in his hands to join the pickets
No one is allowed to enter the company town.
No one is allowed out Forced labor and terror
reign. But the pickets go on, plead with the men
to come out. Mass evctions have taken place
here, and the strikers help get the workers out
of the company jail-towns
The chief deputy sheriff at this mine is one Of
company men, sort of foreman. During work
ing days he drives the men to work and starva-
ton. Now he mans the guns to force them to
work and to endeavor to smash the strike.
In the face of all this the miners put up
brilliant and militant fight and when they go
back to union headquarters and a skinny bit of
food-that is, sour bread and murky coffee-is
handed Them they don't grumbe. Even when
there is no food, they don't grumbe. But every
body knows this can't go on. They must have
relief Everywhere the word is passed out to the
workers relief is the backbone Of this strike!"
