$50 OHIO MINERS /
STRIKE AGAINST
6 PER CENT CUT
N M u Urges Building
of Broad Rank and
File Committee
(By Mail to Daily Worker)


CADIz, Ohio.-45o miners struck
near Cadiz, Ohio. Nov. against a
6 per cent wage cut for some Of the
day men. A mass meeting was called
at Cadiz, Ohio, by the U. NJ W. Of
A. This meeting was held UNDER
meath the Harrison County Court
house where over 300 took part in the
meeting.
Mine Dangerous.
Lee Hall, District President Of the
U. M. w. of A., in the Ohio district,
spoke, mentioning everything under
the sun but did not say one word
about the working conditions Of the
miners in that mine, although we
find that the conditions in that mine
are as bad as can be found. The
mine is full of gas The roof is very
bad. Every day there is someone
hurt or killed. The miners called
this mine the butcher shop. AL min
ers are forced to load a car ranging
from to ton for ST. This averages
about 20 cents per ton. Furthermore,
he told the miners that the pump
man, engineers and bosses and the
rest of the necessary crew to keep
the mines in good shape, for the pro-
lection of "our jobs" thus Lee Hall
is worrying more about the company
than he is about the miners. The
miners in this mine paid their dues
to the section foremen, as they were
the dues collecting committees for
the U. M. w. of A.
The National Miners Union issued
a call to the miners to form a broad
united front committee to take over
the strike. The N. M. U. urges the
miners to form mass picket lines, and
work out the demands of the miners
and continue a real mass fight
against the coal operators. The N.
NJ U. points out only under a broad
strike committee of all the miners
will they be able to get victory in
their mine.

BRITISH IN
COUNTER MOVE
ON U.s. -FRANCE
Mcdonald Gives Notice
for British I'm
perialism

Speaking at the opening of the
British Parliament, the Socialist"
Ramsay Macdonald gave notice to
United States and French imperial
isms of counter offensive by British
imperialism. He said:
81 place the highest Importance
upon the visit of the French Prime
Minister to the American President,
hope it will lead, firstly, to an un-
Outstanding between France and
Germany, BUT IN THE FULL UN-
OUTSTANDING, IN THE FINAL
UNDERSTANDING, EVERY Ma
TION OF THE WORLD MUST BE
A PARTY TO THE AGREEMENT.
THAT is THE POLICY OF THIS
GOVERNMENT" Emphasis ours,
Editor, Daily Worker.)
The head of a so-called National
Government committed to the cree
ton of high-tariff wall, Macdonald
attacked the high tariffs of other
capitalist nations. He criticized the
war debts and reparation payments,
declaring in this connection:
III say here that, as long as the
will of man has forced upon the
world an unnatural economic add
justment, the world will never sue
coed, never prosper"
His attack on war debt payments is
aimed especially at the United States
to whom the British government owes
huge sums, advanced during the world
war, prior to and after the entry Of
the United States.
Concerned for German Capitalism.
The Socialist" premier Of the new
'ascist government showed great con-
Germ for the salvation of German cap
italism from its present precarious
position. He showed his fear that the
German masses will solve their pres
ent intense misery by the only way
possible, the revolutionary way. He
expressed fear that an immediate en-
action of a tariff in Great Britain
would further aggravate the German
situation. He said:
'There is no pretense Of inter
national altruism about this. 1t is
taken for granted that financial
chaos in Europe would be such a
disaster for England that it would
make no difference whether Britain
had a tariff"
do not assume that the fact Of
the existence of this government, ma
tional as 1t is and national it will
remain, is any proof that the prob
lens we are fated to face have been
solved" Macdonald said.
A London dispatch to the New
York Times also reports him rs
having reiterated the fact that his
governments mandate was 10 in
vestigate all possible remedies to
restore British prosperity, and that
1t was not committed to any special
policy before investigation"
He asked for confidence In the
conservative Chancellor of the Elk
cheques Chamberlain and Runciman:
They have undertaken this task
of colossal magnitude and I beg you
to give them your full confidence in
the work they have begun"
Macdonald clearly showed that he
had program for doing everything
possible to maintain the vicious CAPT
talist system at the expense of the
home and colonial masses. He said:
within the next month we may
enter the fringe Of the storm area"
He called for united front Of the
imperialists:
"All states must make concessions,
for the simple reason that IL they
do not the world will go from bad
to worse until collapse and revolu-
ton may be the only way out"
