open-strike breaking ever made by
any union in this country.
This strike is taking on national
proportions. If there is a successful
spread into Ohio and West Virginia,
the question will then arise of devel-
oping a national movement. This
may probably necessitate the calling
of a national miners convention or
conference. Meanwhile the miners
of Illinois, Indiana, the Anthracite
should be reached with every pos
sible force, acquainted with the
course and significance of the strug-
gle here and stimulated to begin To-
cal struggles. The linking of these
together will come with the develop
ment of the national movement. The
question of national struggle of
the miners is fully much question
OF forces on our part. The miners
are ready for struggle. The great
problem is to reach them soon enough
to bring them into this spreading
strike. To rouse the miners of the
other districts must not be left to
the N. M. U alone. That is the Job
of all our forces.
In the meantime relief organiza-
lions and collections must be started
everywhere. The miners were starv-

ALLENTOWN, Pa, June 10,-Al-

the textile strike here by terror and
victimization. Seven strikers we're
arrested for picketing the Pyramid
plant. -Four strikers we're fined $25
and costs or one month in Jail; three
we're fined $40 and costs or five days
in jail.
One young fellow who was fined
was not even picketing, He was just
walking by and policeman told
him to move on. He was too sick
to walk fast enough so the cop pulled
him in with the strikers.
The strikers are beginning to realize
that the police are not on their side
as the United Textile Union traitors
told them at the start Of the strike.
The court was crowded. Many wait

10 BANKS CRASH

Capitalist Politician Is

CHICAGO, Ill, June 1O.-Over 10
banks crashed here in a few days.
This followed the merger" of the
First National Bank, the Foreman
State Bank and a few others of the
leading Chicago banks, The "mer-
ger" was necessitated because of the
precarious condition of the Foreman
State Bank, due to heavy losses in
real estate foreclosures. The "nler-
ger" was a last minute move to
save" the State Bank, one
of the largest banks in Chicago. AS
a result 10 banks affiliated with
the Foreman-State closed their doors.
NEW YORK. New York financial
papers state that the banking diff
ficulties which led to the so-calIed
merger of the First National and the
Foreman-State were SO severe that
they caused the drop in the stock
market on the date the bank merger
was announced.
Twelve of the banks which closed
their doors were under the control
of John Balm, Sr, South Park
Commissioner, and one of the leading
grafters in the Republican Party

eral invitation to the N. M. U. and
T.U,U.L. officials to call her up if
there was anything she could do"
In the course of the convention
she was assured by all present that
the National Miners Union and the
district strike committee proposed to
deal only directly with the operators,
to settle the strike only ON the basis
Of the demands made by the miners
and that the press and the mine
owners themselves had been officially

fightto save the nine Scottsboro boys,
the r-denominational Ministers
Alliance of Charlotte voted to Join
the United Front Scottsboro Com
mittee initiated by the International
Labor Defense and the League of

was made after stormy tllstle be-
tween the smaller preachers who
are nearer to the masses and the
leading bureaucracy of big preach
ers. The vote followed an appeal by
D. Doran for the nine boys.
The president of the Alliance and
the big preachers tried in every way
to prevent Doran from talking, final
ly consenting to give him just or
4 minutes to talk on the fight to
save the nine boys.
Doran exposed the legal frame-up
ana pointed OUT the evident success

new hearing despite the traitorous
tactics of the Negro higher-ups and

speaker, but the poorer preachers
defeated him. A motion to send a
