NEW YORK.-Railway wage cuts
Of 10 per cent affecting 100000 will
be put over, information reaching the
Daily Worker shows, unless the men
prepare TO strike and defeat the plots
Of the leaders Of the 81 railroad
brotherhoods. The railroad brother
hood officials are in favor of wage
cuts, but find it difficult to carry out
their strategy of putting the wage
cuts over.
The New York Sun on Tuesday
declared that the railroad executives
say they have the assurance of the
railroad union leaders that they
favor wage cuts, but the difficulty is
to get the men to accept.
Meanwhile, the railroads are going
ahead with the wage cutting drive
while the leaders Of the al railroad
brotherhoods try to get the men &c
have faith in the bosses and in the
watson Parker Law instead of ir
strikes as way to ward off wage
cuts.
The wage cutting on the railroads
is beginning in the East and West
simultaneously. In the East the De-
laware & Hudson Railway has issued
an ultimatum declaring it would cut
pay. The powerful Chicago g. North
western and several affiliated road,
have taken the same steps.
A meeting of railroad labor union;
officials will be held soon in Chicago
where plans will be discussed on how
to get the men to accept wage cuts
The railroad bosses knowing this are
waiting until Dec. 6 before they carry
through the wage cut drive.

The questions asked by the prose-
cution attorneys shows that every
means is going to be used to get the
Jury of Blue Grass County land
owners to convict the miners. They
are asked time and again about their
views on Communism.
The lawyers Of the General Defense
Committee who are not carrying on
working class defense, are permit
ting the prosecution to use this sort
of propaganda against the miners.
Former U. S. Senator John M.
Robson, the chief lawyer for the de-
Tense is capitalist politician who is
working for his own ends. He is a
hundred percenter," closely linked
up with the XII Klux Klan. w. B.
White, local attorney for the de-
Tense, is even worse. He is the mouth
piece for the leading capitalist in
terests in this section of Kentucky
He is especially connected with the
big power interests who own mines in
Kentucky. The International Labor
Defense has exposed and branded
White as a plant" of the coal OPP
orators.
william Turnblazer, district organ
izer of the United Mine Workers here,
in order to ingratiate himself with
the bosses said: 1.-THE UNIV is an
American institution. We are not
connected with the General Defense
or the International Labor Defense"
On being questioned about union
membership one of the jurors said:
"There are some foreign agitators
working up there" meaning Harlan,
land am against them"
One juror was excused because he
was found to be union member one
of the very few in Mt. Sterling.

Tells Why Walker
Went to California
AFL Official, Morgan
Partner Confer

NEW YORK.-Mayor Walker is
now in conference with Governor
Rolph Of California, determining
how best to defeat the mass struggles
for the release of Tom Mooney, and
how to use the Mooney case against
the growing struggle of the unem-
ployed. That the sudden entrance of
Walker into the Mooney case is based
on the sharp struggles of the workers,
not only for the release Of Mooney
but for the freedom of all class war
prisoners, as well as for linemploy-
ment relief for the 100000 unem-
ployed, is now being admitted in the
capitalist press. The New York
Evening Post, showing how the East
ern capitalists have entered the case
ION the side Of walker and the So
cialist misleaders) says.
Mayor James J. Walker has come
to California to plead the cause OF
Tom Mooney in the hope of fore
stalling threatened unemployment
riots in New York.
THAT frank explanation of the
reason for the transcontinental pri-
vate-car trip was given by two men,
bers of his party, John A. Hastings
State Senator from Brooklyn, who Il
credited with getting the New York
Mayor on Moneys, side, and James
H. r. Cromwell, stepson Of e. T
Stotesbury, Philadelphia banker.
'"You have no idea" Senator
Hastings said while the party was
crossing the Bay on the ferry today
"what intense interest the East has
in the Mooney case. 1t is probably
greater there than in California"
'"That interest-ard it is not con-
fined to the Communists, Labor OIL

the boiling point--it threatens te

"As evidence of his assertion that
all classes in the East--"capitalists

insisting that Mooney be freed, Sen
ator Hastings pointed to Mr.. Crom-
well nearby.
