Cannonsburg, just a few miles from
Meadowlands, was the scene last
Sunday of Fagan's attempt to hold
a strike-breaking meeting which en-
ragged the rank and file miners to
such an extent that they broke up
the meeting. This is now being fol-

heavily directed towards breaking up

the common enemy for the preser-
walton of our governments, our
homes and firesides and our re-
ligion."
The general told the soldiers What
he has been informed by the leading
officials in the Hoover government,
that the army is being prepared for
war against the Soviet Union in the
very near future.
This confirms the statement made
recently by Senator Copeland of New
York, when he said that the present
conferences in Europe were attempts
to forge a united front for embargo
against the Soviet products to be fol-
lowed by armed intervention.
Feverish Preparations in u. S.
There is a feverish preparation 60
ing on for war in the United States.
The Daily Worker has been supplied
by the following reliable inforna-
ton showing the rapid mobilization
for war against the Soviet Union, as
admitted by General Holbrook
Many shipyards and bases which
we're used in the last war and had
not been used since are suddenly be-
ing rehabilitated, viz, Ulmer Park
Subchaser Base, Hackensack River
Docks (near old Ford Plant; the
u. S, Government just ordered 100
bombers; the Ozite plant in Jersey
City is prepared to manufacture gun
wadding for the next war; the de-
partment of of War is asking "ac-
ceptable" engineering students
whether their services can be, count
ed upon in the event of war"
The vast improvements in the
mechanical sections of the army are
not limited to the United States.
War inventions are rapidly being
made in Germany too which will
play an important part in the war
preparations against the Soviet
Union as we'll as against the rising
revolutionary masses in Germany.
In special dispatch to the New
York American on Sunday Karl Won
Wiegand, special Hearst correspond
ent in Berlin, states that Germany
is developing new and powerful war
weapons. He quotes one of the lead
ing German scientists, Professor Will
helm Schlenk, gas expert and head
of the Chemical Institute of the Uni
versity of Berlin, who says: I'VE
have not by any means been sticking
our heads in the sand while the
others are bristling with arms" He
goes on to tell of the new deadly
gases invented and the new electric
rays perfected to kill millions.
All this General Holbrook says will
be used together with the mechan-
lied army of Wall Street in an eff
fort to crush the Soviet Union.
All Out August LIST.
Holbrook's announcement is made
on the same day when the United
States Department of Labor an
nounces unemployment has reached
the lowest point in the history of the
United States. More than 100000
are now facing starvation, The capt.

send delegates in alliance with those
of the Unity Committees and fight
ing the starvation program of the
UNIV. and the operators shoulder
to shoulder with the delegates CT the
Unity Committees and the National
Miners Union.
The newly elected Executive Com
mittee of the Central Rank and File
Strike Committee at its first meet
ing today thoroughly discussed the
Hoover governments latest strike
breaking attempt and not only I'M
qualifiedly endorsed the sending of
the delegation from the strike fields
in which it leads 10000 men iS a
fight against starvation, but made
plans to explain the situation to the
striking miners and mobilize them
to elect the delegates.
The conferences to be held tomor-
row in every section Of the strike
area by the National Miners Union
will undoubtedly also endorse the
plan to expose and smash the at
tempt of the government and the OPP
orators to fasten the UNIV. on them
like slave shackles along with a
justification of the industry at the
expense of the workers and impos-
ing of slave conditions, starvation,
unemployment and misery for the
masses of miners.
The campaign under way to rally
the miners of Southern Illinois
through a real rank and file confer
ence in Belleville Sunday and Sc
ries of mass meetings during the
weeks following, in which William z.
Foster will speak at the conference
and Tom Myerscough, secretary of
the Miners National Unity Commit
tee of Action will speak at the mass
meetings, will have the sending of
this joint delegation of the miners
to Washington as one of its main
points. So will the campaign start
ing in the Anthracite. There will I'M
doubtedly be delegations from the
miners of Harlan county, Kentucky,
where the UNIV. has proved itself
an enemy of miners fighting for their
lives. In West Virginia where the
UNIV. has made a slave contract at
tonnage rate of only 30 cents, rank
and file miners will be elected to go
to Washington and fling the proofs
of UNIV. treachery in the faces Of
Hoover, Lewis and the operators. The
united front conference in Johns
town, Sunday will have the matter
before it-and there is no doubt it
will endorse the action of the Miners
National Unity Committee Of Action.
So will the conference of coke coal
miners, soon to be held in Fayette
County.
The whole mine fields are in re-
volt against the dastardly strike
breaking proposition, this Hoover
conference. Newspapers, particularly
in the coal region, editorialize openly
on this phase of it, and emphasize
that its main accomplishment is ex-
pected to be the control of the coal
industry through the revival OF the
United Mine Workers Of America.
The Pittsburgh Press, Scripps-How-
ard owned, and calling itself "liber-
all, comes out with this declaration
in its editorial today:
Those operators who refuse to
treat with the United Mine Workers
see their mines-and the stability of
the industry in the district-threat-
ened by haggard mobs misled by
Communists"
Other papers which make no pose
of liberalism echo these words but
could hardly make them stronger

Exact Charge
For Admission
BY VIRGIL PINKLEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Sept. 10. U.P)-St. An
dreW's Town Council, Scotland, has
decided to charge gate money for
admission to watch golf champion
ships and other leading links events.
The bill will probably come before
parliament in the fall
The Town Council is taking the
action in view of the ultimatum
from the championship commit
tee of the Royal and Ancient Golf
club that the open championship
OF 1888 will be held at st. An
drews only if gate money for spec
tators is charged.
Should parliament pass the bill,
another tradition long attached to
the royal game in Scotland will
pass. Many local citizens, although
exempt from paying admission, are
against such action.
Charging gate admission at st.
Andrews is almost like taking the
checks away from a Scots kilt, or
eliminating wind from his bag
pipes.
During past championships play
ed at st. Andrews. thousands of
Scots from the surrounding district
have flocked to the mecca of golf.
Many of them stayed in St. An
drew's. This brought money to
hotel and rooming establishments,
eating houses, amusement concerns,
transportation lines and golf firms.
Some of the visitors played over
Old, New, or Jubilee courses and
paid a small fee for the privilege.
Citizens of St Andrews are afraiu
that admission charged for cham
pionships might stop this valuable
traffic of visitors. The ultimatum
also widens the. grievance between
the townspeople and the Royal and
Ancient Golf club.
The club was established in 1854
and since that time has been
looked upon as the final arbitra-
tor in all golf issues. The rules
laid down by the club are univer-
sally accepted: During the years
that the club has existed, it has
become more and more an institu-
ton apart from st. Andrews prop
er.
