Workers Raise Money
to Send Farmers Gift
OF Potatoes to Miners

MINNEAPOLIS, NIinn.-Oct. A.
Answering the appeal printed last
week in the Daily Worker, the Min
nesota district OF the workers IN
ternational Relief and the Miners
L1ellet committee has donated $500
to pay the freight for a carload OF
potatoes to be shipped to Pittsburgh
Tor miners relief from Ironwood,
Mich.
The farmers and workers Of the
Ironwood section and other sections
of northern Michigan gathered a
carload of potatoes, but did not have
the money to ship it. AS result Of
successful Tag Days held in Min
neapolis, Duluth, Superior and st.
Paul and the activities for raising
money in other parts of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan, the Dis
trict Office was able to send the
5000. Additional carloads of potatoes
are now being gathered in Minnesota
and Wisconsin.
In connection with the Tag Day
held recently in Superior, WIS, Wal
ter Harju, secretary of the Workers
and Farmers Coop Unity Alliance
made a speech on the radio, over
one of the largest radio stations ir
Superior, on behalf Of the Miners
Relief Committee.

the demonstrations in Glasgow In
order to fool the workers into be-
lieving that the Labor Party was
with them in their struggle.
The London correspondent of the
New York Post writes that the IN
employed Movement has 100000
members who pay penny, or two
cents week dues. The headquart-
ers is in Bloomsbury and there are
48 districts thruout Great Britain
primarily in the industrial centers.
The Post writes that Harrington,
one of the leaders of the Unemploy-
ed Movement, has been a Commu-
mist for many years, and militant
trade unionist ever since the war
days when he was a shop steward.
The fall of the Brinish pound in
the New York markets has been
ascribed directly to the fear of the
United States capitalists Of the
spreading Of the demonstrations Of
the masses in Great Britain.
w. P. Sinlms. foreign editor OF tn
scripps- Howard papers, writes that
If the Macdonald is forced out Of
power the capitalist class might put
"Blue shirt, or Fascist dictator
ship" into power.
The plan of the present National
government is to get open dictator
ship authority through the coming
elections if possible. If they cannot
do this, they will institute the fascist
dictatorship without benefit of Par
lament. The New York Times re-
ports this plan Of the government
as follows: r. -agne 49, -t,
ut is the plan of the Cabinet
of Cooperation to plac ebefore the
voters a national union program,
the success of which would mean
pretty much carte blanche to a
Cabinet similar to that now in pow
err to take measures to remedy the
fiscal and economic situation in
which Great Britain finds herself"
The latest news of the conversion
plan of Snowden shows clearly that
it means practically no cost to the
capitalist class. The plan, when it
goes into effect, will mean that t&o
billion pounds of the British national
debt will be reduced in its interest
rate from 5 percent to either or
49, percent. The total debt Of Great
Britain, however, is thirty five bill
lions pounds, and on thirty three
million pounds of this there will be
absolutely no reduction in the in
terest charges which are being

pressed out of the British workins
class for the bond holders.
SnoWden comes out openly ana
says that at this time there must b
no attack on the capitalist system.
He demands that the workers accept
the attack on them by the British
capitalists class without any resist4
ance. He stated this in the House
Of Commons as follows:
'Pm sorry to say that cannot
put into this finance bill proposals
for the abolition Of capitalism. III
leave that to somebody else, but /
will tell you now that any cata-
strophic attempt TO abolish capi-
talism will bring far greater dis
aster to the people than that un-
der which they are suffering now"
The capitalist class itself points
out that the opposition" Of the La
Dor Party is hypocriticsl one. This
free trade demands Of the Labor
Party are not sincere but are part
Of the attack of the British capital
ist class on the working masses. The
Labor Party is playing at opposition
in order TO let the fascist DEGREES of
the capitalist class go into effCvu
without any open resistance Of the
workers. The New York Times re-.
ports this as follows:
$50 the only party with any
strength now bearing the free
trade banner aIoft is the Labor or
ganiaztiOn. But that is a political
accident. Labor Is for free trade
not, because 1t believes in 1t bat
mainly because the Conservatives
are for protection. Trade unions
(which now dominate the Labor
Party are very largely won over to
tariff. Arthur Henderson, new
Labor leader, says himself he would
rather balance the budget by means
of a revenue tariff than by unem-
pIoyment insurance cuts"
While Henderson states that he
woulr rather have a tariff than cuts
in the dole, he agrees to these cuts
when he was member Of the La
Dor government with Macdonald.
The National government, the Labor
Party, and the left wing in the La
Dor Party are united in the attack
en- the working class although they
are playing their separate roles in
this attack. Macdonald, Henderson
and McGovern are all enemies Of the
working class Of Great Britain which
has showed its antagonism 10 the

Workers Demand Relief!
The trouble is that there isn't any
difference between these takers, they
all have the same line of talk. John
Schmies, who is running on the Com
munist ticket, is the only candidate
who has a platform for the immediate
issuance of unemployment insurance!

pathy and encouragement.
After long months of starvation
wages, living in a prison-like min
ing camp and intensely difficult
working conditions, it took only a
spark for the strike to flame forth.
Burial Swindle
The strike was precipitated when a
new burial committee was being
elected at the Little and Son Caro-
line mine sometimes called the Boss
mine. The miners are forced to
contribute regularly from their wages
and the funds are supposed to be
used to pay for the funerals for the
members of their families.
The boss's son was treasurer of the
committee. Then the strike broke
loose and soon broadened to include
everyone of the 200 miners in the pit.
Strike Committee
Immediately they elected reIet
committee. At the Wednesday meet
ing, strike committee of Is was
elected which was instructed to draw
up a scale of wage demands. The
Coleman miners requested and were
granted representation on this COM
mittee since conditions in both mines
are very similar--the vein Of coal is
the same.
The Coleman miners called meet
ing where the wage scale was pre-
scented and adopted. The strike broke
out.
1t is very probable that the strike
will spread within the next few days
to the Cary mine and then on to the
other mines on both sides of the fork.

'Instead Of concerning them

the war machinery of Wall STREET has
aroused talk throughout Europe Of
the preparations for a new war, has
just completed military reviews Of
the leading armies being arrayed for
an attack against the Soviet Union.
In France, General Macarthur was
greeted with open arms, secret con-
ferences being held on military ques-
tons. Impressive military parades
were staged for MacArthur's benefit
and in demonstration Of the unity of
aims of French and American imper-
ialism against the Soviet Union.
A glance at the route of the head
of the United States army shows that
he visited only those countries which
form the ring of French imperialist
buffer states against the Soviet
Union. Even the capitalist press in
the United States, as well as in
Europe, evinced surprise at the mill
tary significance of so high an Of
ficer taking what is considered
direct step for war alliance.
A cable from Paris to the New
York Evening Post says:
"WhiIe It is the accepted custom
4 Of governments to have military
observers of friendly powers pres
ent at army maneuvers, these OBJ
servers invariably are military at
taches of the embassies and not
holders of such exalted positions as
chief of staff.
"The attendance Of General Mac
Arthur at the French maneuvers,
and also his going into the allied
country of JugosIavia and being
shown in photographs along with
their displays of military prowess,
as well as his attending success
sion of exclusively military lunch
cons and banquets, have aroused
widespread comment as placing the
American people in. the wrong
light in European eyes"

with which the pacifist phrases of
Wall Street are exposed by the direct
military action of the responsible
head of the United States army.
MacArthur's trip, says the Post,
Conveys the intimation by sugges-
ton to the vast European audience
that the United States is allied with
the military adventure Of Europe"
And this military adventure" they
fail to add, is directed against the
Soviet Union.
Through all these means the CAPT
talists are preparing for new
slaughter-to slaughter the workers
in the iraperialist LANDS in an effort
to crush the victorious workers Of the
Soviet Union.
Every worker here can see how the
capitalists direct their attacks against
the workers, not only in the Soviet
Union, but on the job and on the
bread line. Mass wage cuts, to save
the bosses profits, and mass hunger,
so that the rich will not have to
spend any of their. wealth for I'M

Smash the hunger system which
through war preparations now is
seeking to crush the workers in the
Soviet Union and to inflict more
misery upon the American workers!
