THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN IN
THE COAL FIELDS

ers out of work. The policy of the Socialist
party and the UNfWA is the policy of putting
over the wage-cuts unemployment, speed-up for
the bosses. 1t is the policy of rule of the clubs
of the bosses police in the coal fields.
In the present election campaign, the miners
must carefully look over those parties which are
running candidates The election campaign
carries still further the lessons learned in the
recent strike of the coal miners of Western
Pennsylvania, East Ohio and West Virginia. The
miners saw in this strike that the government
is bosses government, that the courts injunc-
tons, state police, Pinchot government Hoover
government, UNdWA, Socialist party were united
against the miners in their strike against starry
alton.
The County Commissioners refused the de-
mands of the unemployed and strikers. Pinchot
urged the men to go back to work and accept
the wage-cut. The Hoover Red Cross and the
Pinchot government refused the miners relief
The bosses jails were filled with strikers
The one Party which came out on the side
of the workers was the Communist Party, the
only Party of the working class. The Com
munist Party proved in this strike that it is the
only Party struggling for the needs and demands
of the workers. All of the resources of the Com
munist Party throughout the country were
and demands, sending in organizers, issuing
leaflets, collecting relief, organizing the workers
and leading the struggles on the picket lines,
etc. in the interests of the struggle of the work
ers. The democratic and republican parties and
the Socialist party, all supported the bosses in
their strike-b breaking wage-cutting drive
The main issues of the present election cam
paign in the mine fields are the struggle
against further wage-cuts the struggle against
further lay-offs, the struggle for unemployment
insurance for the workers, for immediate relief
for the unemployed, the struggle for full equality
for the Negroes, for the demands of the Negro
workers. the struggle for the interests of the for
eign-born, women, young workers
The Communist Party calls on all miners to
vote for their class the working class in the
present election campaign. We call on all min
ers to vote Communist. The Communist Party
points out to the miners that the BOSSES gov
eminent which is putting over wage-cutS and
further unemployment, is preparing to plunge
the working class into new bloody world war.
The bosses see in the Soviet Union, which has
a Working-class government, a serious threat to
the decaying rotten, bankrupt capitalist system.
The bosses government, trying to get out of the
worst crisis the capitalist system ever went thru,
wants to capture the markets of the Soviet
Union. They want to destroy the workers
Government of the Soviet Union, which is an
inspiration to the workers all over the world
The Communist Party points out to all workers
that the only way in which they can win their
freedom from starvation, disease, poverty, misery,
is to completely wipe out the whole rotten cap
italist system, and set up new systen1-a work
ers' system, as the workers did in the Soviet
Union The Communist Party points out to the
miners that vote for the Communist Party in
the present election campaign is not only vote
against wage-cuts and unemployment, but Is
vote against the whole rotten capitalist system
The workers must organize into the National
Miners Union and the other revolutionary unions
of the Trade Union Unity League and fight for
their Immediate demands and needs. The work.
ers must join the Communist Party and strug-
gle against the whole rotten capitalist system.
