SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 1. (By MaiD ,
AS the striking miners were picket
ing at the Baker Colliery Of the Glen
Alden Company, the police dubbed
men and women, and chased miners
and their wives from the grounds.
The miners are furious about the
police attack, and are also very much
dissatisfied with the local papers. The
Scranton Times and Scranton Re-
publican, both misrepresent the strik-
ers. At q mass meeting held tonight
at Silver Moon Hall, the miners
shouted: "Those are Boylan's papers
Bosses papersl Company papers!"
The Daily Worker is the only news
paper which gives the miners side
and campaigns for the formation of
Miners Unity Committees of Action,
to be elected by the rank and file,
and for strike committees elected by
the miners themselves, to take over
control of the strike and make it a
real fight, not for Maloney but for
better wages and conditions.

ATLAS CEMENT TO
CUT WAGES OCT. |
Subsidiary Of the u. S.
Steel Corporation

Especial to the Daily Worker
HUDSON, N. Y.-Another slash in
wages is going into effect at the
Universal Atlas Cement plant Octo-
Der l. The workers employed by the
hour basis, are hit under the latest
order of the United States Steel
Corporation, of which the Atlas plant
is a subsidiary.
The workers are to be cut 10 per
cent. The working schedule is also
to be shortened. Workers In the
shops, mills, ETC., will go on a four
day schedule per week. The workers
are to work eight hours a day, 80
hours in all for the week. The wage
is from 35c to 40c per hour.
Include salaried Men
The saIaried workers are also IN
cluded in the order. Their wages
were cut few weeks ago. Under
the new plan the salaried group are
to take off one additional day a
week, without pay. Departmental
heads are not included in the order
to take off the extra day.
This plant, like all other industries
in Hudson, is open shop. Consider
able discomfort, however, exists.
1t is believed here that another
cement plant, the Knickerbocker,
owned by the International Corpor-
alton, will quickly fall into line with
the Atlas. They comprise the two
largest industries in the city, employ
ing about 600 workers in the two
plants.

The wage cut drive against the
German miners which has been in
tensified with a cut of per cent in
the wages of the Ruhr coal miners
has already met the determined
strike resistance Of the miners. The
Socialist member of the court of ar
bitration, Bergman, voted for the cut
which has the complete support of
the leadership of the socialist" party.
Some of the left wingers in the $50
cialist" party have protested against
the open participation of the So
cialist" party in the cuts. After be-
ing expelled from the socialist"
party they have formed the Indepen-
dent Socialist Party. The purpose Of
their protest against the open traitor
actions of the socialist" party is the
same as that of the left wing in the
British Labor Party. The left wing in
both Germany and in Great Britain
realizes that the masses can no long
er be misled by the open reactionary
leadsr Of the socialist" party and
proposes therefore through phrases
Of cleft" character to be able to
mislead the masses further for the
hunger and fascist program of the
capitalist class. The capitalist class
realizes the need of these lefts for
diverting the masses from struggle
under the revolutionary leadership of
the Communist Party. This is very
clearly admitted by the New York
Times report Of the role of the left
wing which has formed the new In
dependent Socialist Party The
Times writes:
"a split in the ranks of the So
cialists, if confined to only a rela-
lively small number of members Of
the party, would make collabora-
ton with the Socialists easier"
The capitalist. class plans to use
the socialist party now for the open
betrayal of the working class, as the
British capitalist class has done with
Macdonald, Snowden and others in
England. The left wing will be used
to mislead the militancy Of the mass
es against the hunger program by
futile cleft" phrases.
Those elements in the German
socialist" party who realize the
traitor role Of the socialist" party
have taken the only honest step pos
sible in the class struggle, they have
joined the Communist Party in the
struggle against capitalist hunger
and fascism and against the social
fascists. This is the path that Wal
ter Oettinghaus, member Of the
Reichstag and chairman of the Metal
workers Union, and Hagen, one OF
Che leaders of the left opposition in
the socialist" party Of Germany took
