Frame>Ub Against Dresser to
Cover Up His Expose OF Misery
Dresser Declares That Misery in Kentucky Equals That
Of Worst In the World

That it was a deliberate effort to
get Dresser was admitted by County
Prosecutor Walter B. Smith, who told
of sending one Of his men to knock
at Dreiser's door at his hotel and
then concoct a story OF Dresser go
ing into a mystery woman's" room
and failing to come out. The "nys-
terry woman" Is Marie Pergain, Drei-
ser's secretary who accompanied him
on the investigation.
But their chagrin and fear Of the
report Of the Dresser committee
caused another OF the coal officials,
Circuit Judge D. G. Jones to admit
the real reason in trying to frame
Dresser. e
He is wild speaker who came
here to inflame the public" That
committee came here with a pretense
Of conducting a fair and impartial
inquiry. But it turned out to be a
one-sided affair, likely to revive the
disorders which have cost several
lives in this district In recent
months" E
There is no terrorism here. We
can iron out our own troubles
Dresser not only denied the frame
up charge against him but issued a
statement saying that the actual
physical misery and conditions in the
Kentucky coal fields equalled the
worst anywhere In the world.

BANKERS DEMAND
RAILROADS c u 7
PAY 10 PER CENT
Workers Must Build
Militant Committees
and Strike at Cut


NEW YORK.-A 10 per cent slash
in the wages of all railroad workers
was demanded by the Investment
Bankers Assn. at its convention at
White Sulphur Springs on Nov. 9, tc
provide national revolving fund to
meet the $6,0Oo,0oo,o00 of railroad
securities held by the bankers.
Not one cent OF the railroad brig
ands profits shall be touched, not a
penny will be taken from the rich
capitalists to meet the securities, say
the bankers, but the whole burden
of meeting the railroad securities will
be placed on the backs of the rail-
road workers.
In demanding that the railroad
bosses cut wages the committee of
bankers said:
Railroad managers are not JUS
titled In continuing to pay wages
which will threaten to impair the
efficiency and solvency Of the COM
pany."
Which all means when translated
into plain working class struggle that
the bankers do not think 1t is right
for the railroad bosses to impair their
profits. Anything is right from a
bankers point of view that helps to
increase profits for the capitalists and
bring more misery to the working
class.
This statement of the Bankers As
ISOLATION should leave no illusions in
the minds of the workers about the
maintenance of the scale of the rail-
road workers. A general wage-cut is
coming in the railroads just as it
came in steel. The railroad workers
must act. If the bosses are success
full in the first big cut they will put
over more cuts.
Railroad workers must organize
militant committees in all branches
of the service. Force the bosses to
take back the cut by striking against
it. Prepare yourself now for a bitter
struggle against the lowering of your
living standard. Build the Railroad
Workers Industrial League which is
the only real leader in the fight
against wage-cuts in the railroads.

Mrs. Rosdeick, $50 East 3rd Street

they informed her that they would

her family was hungry. She went
to this same charity organization

Finally she came to the council.

WORKERS WILL
HONOR DEAD
NEGRO COMRADE
Mass Funeral for Ed
wards Thursday

NEW YORK. - The funeral OF
Comrade Ronald Edwards, Negro
worker and member Of the National
Executive Committee Of the Young
Communist League, November IL at
1880 p. m. The body Of Comrade
Edwards will arrive today from
Cleveland, where he died, and will lie
in state at the Finnish Workers
Home from Wednesday noon on.
This young revolutionary Negro
leader died in the flush of youth. Al
though not strong comrade physic-
ally, Comrade Edwards was one OF
the most devoted comrades in the
League. He was cornrade who was
developing into real political leader
OF the young workers, with keen
insight into the problems of the
youth.
For the Negro workers, the death
Of Comrade Edwards is special loss.
There are not many young revolu-
uonary leaders yet among the Ne
gro workers. although the revolution
yary forces among the Negro prole-
tSariat are developing. For, the Party
aApd the YCL, the loss Of Comrade
Edwards Is particularly severe, at a
TIME when the struggles are getting
bitter, when the Negro workers are
yising in resentment against the mis-
cradle conditions that the crisis is
tnposing on them.
The answer Of the young workers
must be to fill up the ranks OF the
Young Communist League many fold
Hundreds OF young workers-Negro
and white - must join the Young
Communist League, to take the place
OF Comrade Edwards!
All revolutionary workers, white
and Negro, should be at the Finnish
Workers Hall on Thursday at 1880
BIN. to pay the last honors to Com
md Edwards. =,
