wage cuts on the grounds that the poor bankers
controlling the silk and woolen corporations are
not making enough profits during the present
crisis
This follows on the heels Of the statement OF
Anna Weinstock. the impartial arbitrator" of
the u S Department of Labor that, I feel
equally sure that no concern, particularly at the
present time reduces wage scales unless 1t feels
such step is absolutely necessary
The EMPLOYERS and their government feel 1t
it absolutely necessary to make the textile work

wage cuts, speed up and unemployment
The Workers Answer.

The most significant feature of the r. I.

been made possible by the correct leadership

The Part "Seldom Seen" Miners
Play in the Strike

THERE is no real road to Cross Greek. 1t lies
between the Twin Valleys of Misery. That's
Why the miners call it Seldom Seen. The Ste
phensor mine conveniently went broke and
failed to pay the miners $4,000 owed to them in
back wages It took a march upon the county
authorities at Washington, Pa, to send Stephen
son to Jail for fourteen months. That was a
little way back And since then, the county has
refused relief of any kind
Since early Spring, many of the miners here
we're organized by the National Miners Union
into Miners Unemployed Council, and are
now on the picket lines helping the miners in
other camps win their strike. But those families
still living in Seldom Seen tell of the conditions
that caused them to quit the mine and to refuse
to scah today on the $4,000 striking coal miners
AL around the region.
Prices at the company store? Here are few
demanded for everyday necessities at the Ste
phenson mine
Sixty-six cents for dozen eggsi
s998 for twelve pound ham
25c for pound of salt.
68c for a pound of oleomargarine- is
unknown here.
Csc for a of evaporated milk
40c for Eagle Brand condensed milk for babies
15c for box Of matches.
15c for a cake of Palnolive soap
-10c for cake of & G soap.
20c for Cambell's soups or baked beans.
These prices are SO many reasons why the
coal diggers quit work here early in the year.
There are no water facilities whatever for the
so or more houses there. The families depend
entirely upon hillside springs and creeks. When
the mine worked, they paid SO a month for
rotten 4 room shanty Those four lucky fami-
lies that had electricity installed, paid $3.50 a
month for that Some long shanties partitioned
into three rooms, demanded $6 month for rent.

Why is there such speed-up in Wall Streets
war preparations? Why the rapid improve
ment Of old war bases and the frenzied quest
for a new fortified Atlantic-Pacific Canal?
Cannes answers these important questions by
describing the drive for markets that is now
going on among all the imperialist powers I'm

States exploiters extending their foreign
markets at the expense of their British rivals.
The 'unthinkable war, in fact, is inevitable"
Every worker, preparing to demonstrate on
August 1st against imperialist war, should have
a copy of Yankee Colonies in his pocket. 1t

Tomorrow Never Comes
By JORGE

1.-The ancient challenge (sicD to love yosy
enemies and do good to those who persecute you
is bluntly repudiated by Communists and SUD
planted by the doctrine of class hatred and class
war" laments the pacif1st publication 1.-The
World Tomorrow" among whose contributing
editors we find such saints as A. j. Music and
Norman Thomas.
The lament is. of course, a form Of attack,
and is preluded by the following:
Recent issues OF the Daily Worker, the otHcial
organ of the Communist Party in the United
States reveal the wide gulf which separates
Communist strategy from that of the socialist
party"
We accept the gulf" When the capttanst
corporations you work for cuts your wages, Com
nurlists say-oTganize and strike and make that
strike effective by effective mass picketing
don't hunt up the company manager and kiss
him.
The Socialists" Of course peddle this stuf
for the workers to swallow, so they will be easy
victims of the capitalists. For themselves when
in power they have no compuncton in doing
violence against the workers for the benefit of
the capitalists.
Macdonald massacres workers and peasants
in India and sends gunboats against the rebel
lious masses of China; in Germany Noske
slaughtered tens OF thousands, among them
Liebknencht and Luxembourg, while Zoergebel
shot down the workers on May Day 1929 who
merely wanted to march on the streets they
built; and what about the bloody slaughter Of
workers only four years ago this month at
Vienna, where the socialist" international is
now meeting to broadcast its propaganda sup
porting the coming inperialist war on the So
Wet Union under the hypocritical pretense that
the war danger does not come from capitalism
but from Bolshevism? Innumerable other cases
might be mentioned
There is gulf, all right between the social
fascist socialists" and the Communists and
that is because the socialists" are on the side
Of the capitalist class and the Communists on
the side of the working class
If the workers follow the socialists" Of 9Th.

capitalism today, their tomorrow will never ocs

Looking Over This Lunatic
Asylum

The N. Y Times Of July 27 tells us that u,
in Canada tie Northern Saskatchewan Indians
tired OF the drouth killing crops and cattle "in-
voked the Great Spirit" in ...
"A forty-eight hour dance, led by six singers
In relays, centered about great tree, on the
bark of which petition for aid had been
carved. The Great Spirit seemed to answer,
for soon after the mystic rites had been per-
formed, the rain began and continued for two
days"
The N. Y. Times relates the above doubtless
thinking it Will amuse its readers to learn how
superstitiors the Saskatchewan Indians are But
what do you thing of these other items, found
In the same issue of the Times, in this year oi
grace 1881, A. DIP Just look 'em over:

headline, referring to DR.. Julius Klein, Assistant

Next comes the extremely wise men who make
up the Grain Market Analyst Club, sagely in
forming us on the basis of one mans stomach.
doubtless the stomachs of one of these Solomons
that-but read it yourself:
"The capacity of the stomach for bread Is
neither materially increased nor markedly de-
creased ~ the cost of the wheat that enters
into lie making of the bread"
From which we understand that the unen1-
ployed do not buy more bread even though il
is cheap, not because they have no money al
ALL but because their stomachs are already filled
to capacity, probably with Hoover promises
On another page, giving the summaries d

a new form of death sentence against "unoeS1r-
ables". They do not even comply with their own
immigration and deportation laws. This means
open and illegal collaboration with the Nanking
government of China in this fiendish attack All
the Hoover -Doak government is interested in is
rushing "undesirables' to their death at the
hands of foreign fascist powers.
Labor batting police in Los Angeles Cal, join
with the Hoover-Doak agents to secure the de-
portation of the Spanish worker John Vilarino
restaurant worker 80 years resident in this coun-
try and with IL children born IN the United
States His so-called crime is cd,nissicn that he
is Communist
The Mexican food worker, Aka, % years in the
United States, has already spent three months
on Ellis Island awaiting deportation. The Hoo
ver-Doak government is trying to send him to
Mexico. But Mexico will not receive him. In
Vulnerable cases Of this nature could be cited.
Attack T.U.UL. Leadership
MembeaShip in any militant working class or
ganizatct is ground for deportation according
to the H Jyer-Doak program. William Murdoch,
leader O. the textile workers struggles, is to be
deported because he admitted membership in the
Trade Union Unity Leagues General Council.
The Wkcle charge rests on the one pamphlet,
"The TUUL-ItS Aims and Principles"
In 1929, 1290O deported; in $780, 1660O driven
out of the country; 10000 exiles on the program
for 1881. The number increases as labor de-
velops, through its own organizations, resistance
to lowering of its standard of living and actual
starvation. Huge sums voted for this anti
labor campaign at Hoover's bidding when not a
cent can be found for unemployment relief.
Doak says there are 100000 Immediately subject
to deportation; that special campaign is being
carried on against 100000 seamen said to be in
this country illegally.
1t is to provide more readily victims for its
program of wholesale deportation that the Hoo
ver-Doak-Fish campaign urges the finger print
ing and photographing of all foreign-born work
erS.
This is not only part of the efforts of the gov
ernment to silence protest against the increas-
ingly intolerable conditions under which the
workers suffer today, but also to gag all oppo-
sition to it's war preparations and to the devel-
oping attack being organized against the Soviet
Union.
On August First, the International Day OF
Struggle Against Imperiafst War, mobilized la
Dor must also raise its demands for the right OF
political asylum; against deportations for the
protection of the foreign-born, for the unity of
workers of all ard nationalities in defense
of their own interests. Fight against the Hoo
ver-Doak program on August First. Raise this
struggle again, on August 22, Sacco-Vanzetu Day
of Liberation for all Class War Prisoners Join
this struggle with the fight for the Scottsboro
boys, the defense of the imprisoned Camp HILL

both These painters have apparently been
moved to paint because of admiration, OF de-
light in the loneliness of objects or compositions
which have come to their attention, and this
enthusiasm, through their works, they pass on
to others. It is if they said to the casual
observer "Come and see this beautiful thing
which have seen. Let me show it to you"
None who loves English country or English
buildings or English life refuse the invi-
tation or remain cold in the presence of the
works.
There is one painting, THE Old Bridge,
Barnard Castle, England" by G. H. Downing
which has perhaps little touch of Corot at his
best There other paintings such as
Harvest" by William Herbert Allen; "Porlock
Vale" by Alec Carruthers Gould; "A Sussex
Farmstead," by David Wilson, or E. Could
smiths "Crowde Bay, North Devon" and
"Dartmoor, Devon" which bring back memories
of Constable But each painter has manner
all his own.
Most charming are Ed Handley- Reads
"waterIoo Bridge, London" and Rotten Row,
Hyde Park" the last delightful rendition of
one of the gayest features of London life.
There are two interesting pictures of horses
by John Nicolson, THE Cleaning" and Eve
ming" There is magnifcently rendered in
terror, 1.-The Ball Room at Knole, Sevenoaks,'
by Cyril Roberts.
Obviously, all of the paintings are not of
England number are of France; others still
were painted in Switzerland, and one, the work
OF Leonard Richmond. in the Canadian Rockies.
OF unique interest are two works by Leslie
w. Lang painted in heavy impasto, with almost
the exactness of an ancient miniature, but with
an effect of breadth; one of "Umbria," sun
shine and shadow across its tiled roofs; the
other the interior of a church. "Prayer"-a
Stained-glaSs window above an elaborate altar,
worshipers in the foreground.
This exhibition will remain on view in the
Corcoran Gallery until February 49, inclusive.
One should not miss it,
IN connection with the exhibition of water
colors by members of the Royal Society of
British Artists the Corcoran Gallery is showing
at this time three quarter-length portrait of
the Crown Prince of Italy, by Philip A. de
Laszlo president of the Royal Society of British
Artists and well known in this city because of
his distinguished portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Larz
Anderson and others. Mr.. de Laszlo had hoped
to be in Washington for the opening of the
water-color exhibition, but was prevented by
illness and has had to go instead to Southern
Spain to recuperate His portrait of the young
prince is superb piece of painting.
THE Corcoran Gallery of Art has recently
received as a gift from Mrs. E. Crane Chad
bourne the famous portrait Of James MCNEIL
Whistler by Walter Greayes and two drawings
by Arthur B. Davies. The Whistler portrait has

been hung in one of the upper galleries in the
annext to the west of the Clark galleries It
shows Whistler in gray business suit, wearing
tall black silk hat-a remarkable character
ization.
From j. e Coonan the Corcoran Gallery has
received, as memorial to Mr.. Coonan's wife, an
excellent portrait of George Rundel by John
Neagle. The latter has not yet been placed on
exhibition.
IN the South gallery on the first floor at the
Corcoran Gallery of Art there yesterday
placed on view a series of wood gravureS by
Macowin Tuttle of which fuller notice will
be given later.
AT the Arts Club 2O17 street. are now on
view collection CT IS paintings by Charles
Walther, modernist, who is represented in the
Phillips Memorial Gallery, in the Cone collec-
lions in Baltimore, the collection of Dr. George
Boas, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, and
others; also water colors by Mrs. Susan B.
Chase of this city.
Mr.. Walthers paintings in Oil and are
distinctly in the new mode-bold outlines
simplification of form, strong color. Though
they make no attempt toward the naturalistic,
they are impressive and full of interesting sug-
geStion Especially pleasing are the mountain
subjects, such as 'Hll Top" Green Noun
TAIN" Bare Trees" etc. One might not like
to live with works of this sort and yet find
them on occasion extremely interesting OF
their sort they are to be reckoned among the
best.
Mrs. Chase shows 10 water colors painted in
various parts of the world among them a
Washington blizzard picture. The subjects are
well chosen and extremely well set forth
souvenirs of place and, regardless of place,
picturesque and attractive-an excellent show
ing
THE exhibition which was to have been held
by the Landscape Club of Washington in
the Art Gallery at Howard University at this
time has been postponed to February to 16.
This gallery is occupied by a two-man

finding the ruins near Menard. approximately

Silver and proceeded another league northward.

the south should be another copper peg.
1t was there. Still another 80 varas to the
south they should go and then turn west.
At intervals of 80 varas each on this east-to-
west line they should find three more copper
pegs They found them all. Next, going on
west for an unnoted distance, they should come
to two mesquite trees growing close together;
in the ground between these twin trees they
should dig up another half of a metate.
AS the men ran their lines and dug up cop
per peg after copper peg their excitement, as
may be imagined, was intense. They worked
in a trot Finding the two meSQuiteS with the
piece of metate at their roots proved a tedious
business. Finally, however, the stump of one
tree was located, and, surely enough, excava-
ton around it brought to light the half of
metate This half fitted exactly with the
ether Across the gray surface of the rejoined
halves the letters of one word showed plainly.
The word was "Excavad." Dig where?
The chart directed that tree with three
prongs would be found to the south OF the last
half of the metate, and that fixed between
these three prongs should be flint rock about
the size of a turkey egg" 1t was only after
three or four trees had been chopped down

found, deeply embedded

generally dry According to directions, the shaft
must be opened for so feet straight down; then
complicated tunnel that twisted in various
directions on several levels must be cleaned
out before the "storeroom" of the 1000 silver
bars could be broken into.
Dixon and his men began tearing into the
earth As they worked it became evident to
them that they were clearing out a big hole
that had been dug through solid rock and then
later filled 1t did not take them long to realize
that they could never remove all the rock with
