Second Demand Made On President Hoover

around him which have discour- aged and at the same time fired him, Green said:
 Outlining his program for the proposed national conference. the American Federation of Labor president said:
 "rhcre should be, first, q dec 1aration that all who are now em- ployed should be guaranteed that they would be secure in their jobs that no one should be discharged except for incfiiciency, that if it is necessary to carry out this pledge, industry should adjust its working time othat all would share equitably in work.
 "In the second place. the con- ference ought to pledge industry to reduce the number of work days per week and the number of work hours per day so that those now unemployed could be given work at the earliest possible date.
 The conference, In the third place. should go on record that wages be maintained and that no reductions take place.
 The government should obligate itself at this conference, In the fourth place, 10 enlarge its build Ing and construction program and in order to do this effectively all red tape should be cut and all un- necessary delay eliminated.
 The conference then should take steps 10 organize national, state and community forces so tha. all cases of suffering and need would be cared for this winter.
 "rhese pledges would remove fear and release buying power. Fol- lowing adoption of these declhra- tions an appeal then should be made to labor to spend to utmost capacity. With work secure. fear would be removed and buying would begin. There would be no reason to stint"
 Green favors unemployment In surance by act of industry itself through creation of reserves. This could be done by cooperation or employer and employe.
 Asked if he advocated direct ap- propriations by the federal govern mcnt for relief. Green replied:
 q don't think there will be any choice in the matter. We'll have to call in all agencies to relief dis tress."

PATTERSON IN DANGER

I IhILItotIN IN JfhNsTAIb | Paterson, N. J., July 22.-UP)
 Strike sentiment which has re. suited in walkouts and violence 1r New England textile centers and Pennsylvania coal mines seemed about to envclop 10000 mill work CTS to-day in this city, once center l of the nations silk industry. Hundreds of workers were pre- pared to leave their looms in re- sponse to q call by William Z Foster, head of the communist party, who with Ben Gold and other organizers has been leading a demand for return of the 8-hour day and better pay.
 Thousands of other workers. members of the Amalgamated As sociated silk Workers and United Textile Workers Unions, were watching to see how effective to- days strike call by Foster would be before deciding definitely whether to participate.
 Organizations affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, plan to strike August g, but ac- cording to Joseph F. Matthews, chairman of il joint committee, may walk out nt once.
 Matthews said working condl- tions in the mills, where the aver age dyer's helper gets from $l2 to l$2O a week, are so bad that lew care whether they have jobs or not. Wages for weavers average $l6 to $25 and skilled craftsmen get as high as $30 a week. However, the men arc called on to work from nine and one-ha1f to IA hours a day.
 So far strike feeling has been based chiefly on general dissatls- faction, but members of the Amal- gamated regular" group are form uIating a specific set of demands to present manufacturers. The lat ter group has expressed little con- cern, viewing the silk market also so bad that 1t makes little dinef- ence whether they close shop or continue.

 Scranton, Pa, July 22--OP)- Threat of a strike of 15.000 miners in the Pittston anthracite area col lapscd to-day when nine of the 13 local unions went on record hs op- posing a general walk-0ut.
 Representations of the miners decided that the workers would gain little by q strike for better working conditions and higher wages, because many of the col l. Ileries have been idle for months and several large mines now only work part time.
 Forces opposed to the present administration of the United Mine Workers in district No 1, claimed the anti-strike decision as victory as John ]. Boylan. president Of the district, had given the proposed walk out his approval.

Police AL Union Session

Scranton, Pa, Julyq 22.--tUP) Police were prepared to enforce peace at to-days session of the convention of district l, United Mine Workers of America, with tear gas bombs If necessary, while leaders of rival factions considered Senator James J. Davis' offer to act as mediator.
 Davis. completely recovered from the effects of q slight gassing when police used tear bombs to break up 4 riot yesterday, sought to persuade Thomas Maloney and other leaders of the insurgent group to use peace ful methods in their attacks on President John Boylan. who defeat- ed Maloney for the presidency.
 At the senator's request, insur- gents held a meeting last night to confer with him. Davis, scheduled to speak at the morning session, was unable to do so because of the riot.
 At q mass meeting at Taylor borough hall. however. leaders of the opposition said they would con tinue to fight Boylan's efforts to or ganiZe the convention. They charge Boylan was elected fraudulently, and that Maloney rightfully should be president.

 The session was said by authori- tative non-American sources to have examined recommendation embodied in a brief report from the finance ministers, dealing en- tirely with the question of support Ing German credit and the import ance of keeping short term credits in Germany. A general discussion ennsucd but, according to British sources, there was no acrimony, and and 1t was decided to refer certain questions to the finance today in hope that the conference might be ended tomorrow.
 The ministers recommendation were said to have included matter dealing with the question of ex- tension of the present $100.000. 900. credit which France proposes to extend for three months. There was also a recommendation regarding measures the general banks might take to maintain the present vol ume of short term credits for Ger many, In accordance with the sug- gestion of the United States.
 Belgian source expressed the opinion that no progress had been made, and characterized the morn ing plenary meeting AS "a milling about. searching for a formula"
 The Belgians argued that the French proposal for long term loan was the only worth while plan, but that 1t had been abandon cd, while the American short term plan was "superfiuous" because the banks were already maintaining credits.
 Stimson told the press the con- ference was makirg progress.

Intensity the Miners Campaign

IT is exactly in this period of the sharp strug-
giles of the miners against starvation that the
relief collection campaign must be intensified in
all cities The collections of funds and food in
all the cities never adequate to supply even
a minimum of relief to the fighting miners and
their families Out of the 10000 miners that
went on strike, we were never in a position to
give to more than 5000 of them strike relief
Many hundreds of families we're evicted, but
lack Of funds made it impossible to purchase
more than 80 tents.
The miners strike is not called off The
miners will never cease their militant battle
against hunger. The transference of strike &C
tivities to demands upon the local mines means
intensified activities to again broaden the
struggle at the earliest moment. 1t is therefore
of the utmost importance to Immediately
strengthen the hand of the National Miners
Union SO that it can consolidate all its forces
All strikers, all miners who, even those driven
back to work at the point Of guns, swear their
solidarity with their new union
Thousands of blacklisted miners and their
families must be supported Although the Ken
lucky coal operators thugs are dynaniting our
relief kitchens, new kitchens are opening at the
rate Of two or three a weak. We must supply
these kitchens with food. The quantity Of food
distribution in Pennsylvania Ohio and West
Virginia has not decreased 1t has increased.
AT first we only gave relief TO the most needy
Now, after two months and half OF strike, all
are needy and the registrations for relief at the
mine relief stations are growing When to this
is added the plight of the miners children ard
babies to whom we were never able to issue
enough food and milk, then all the workers and
their organization will realize that much more
energetic fund and food collections must be es-
tabIfshed.

The Present Situation In the
Automobile Industry

1881, 863,315 cars were financed compared to
1,0288O5 cars in the like period in 1880.
Most of the financial papers report that the
Ford Company plants will shut down completely
in the summer time throwing around 10000
workers out of work The Ford Company has
been curtailing its production sharply There
is furious competition developing between the
Ford Company and General Motors Chevrolet
for the cheaper car market.
In the automobile industry there is a process
of constant elimination of workers as shown in
the section under employment The automobile
companies are reducing their working forces and
getting out greater number of cars with less
workers. The prospects are that next yea will
see a still further curtailment in automobile
production, sharp increase in the permanently
unemployed automobile workers.
AS was pointed out in the economic analysis
for the lat plenum (section on automobile in
du1try) the automobile industry has reached
saturatiOn point. Now a government report on
this industry points out IN. Y. Evening Post,
June 81 that the demand for automobiles is
constantly shrinking with the industry mainly
on a replacement basis. The number of cars re-
placed in 1880 was 100000 The percentage
Of growth from year to year, assuming no crisis,
is very small. Considering the fact that the au-
tomobie industry now has a plant capacity of
over 100000 cars yearly and that the export
business has stopped growing, the perspective is
for continued crisis in the automobile in
dustry, with more workers being thrown out OF
work long time to come.
The following is table of automobile produc-
ton Gears and trucks by months for 1880 and
1881:

The National Miners Union and its policies
are rooted deeply in the consciousness of thou
sands of coal diggers. The strike of the miners
against starvation constitutes a beacon which
lights the way to better working conditions for
all miners, and how to struggle to obtain them
Nothing must be left undone in the strike area
that will build the power of the National Min
ers Union To build this power to effectively
establish our first mass union in a basic in
dustry strike relief funds and food and tents
and milk for babies, are of major Importance
In cities owned by the coal and steel barons
in the strike area the local capitalist govern
ments are terrorizing our local relief collection
committees in order to drive the miners back
to starve in the pits and their novels The
Pittsburgh tag day in which 900 ragged miners
children participated, was practically routed by
the brutal police, who chased the children down
the streets and alleys with threats of Jail and
beatingS Because relief collections here are
narrowing due to terror against our collectors
the comrades in the cities everywhere must in
crease their efforts.
All cities are called upon to broaden their
relief activities to widen their relief commit
tees All cities are called upon to establish re-
lief committees. All workers organizations are
requested to again impress upon their member
ship the need for unflinchng solidarity with
the miners. Throughout the nation, mass COL
lections, house to house solicitations, shop re-
lief actions, must go forward with zeal and re-
newed energy
Workers everywhere! Enlist in the relief cam
paign! Double your efforts for funds and food
to help the miners carry on their courageous

Steve KatOvis' Story Lives On
SaccO-Vanzetti Day

Seldom has the story Of worker been told
with greater warmth and conviction than the
story of Steve Katovis," says prominent book
reviewer who read the pamphlet called Steve
Katovis: The Life and Death of a Worker, by
A. B. Magil and Joseph North.
This warmth and conviction makes the story
of this worker who was murdered on the picket
line by Tammany cop so important to spread
among workers. And no better time could be
found for doing it than August %, Sacco and
Vanzetti Day.
There is much in common in the life his
tory of Vanzetti, the immigrant worker, toiling
in filthy restaurants in New York and Steve
Katovis, who was shot down by Tammany
thug while fighting for the Food Workers In
dustrial Union No worker who reads this
pamphlet can help but be impressed with the
heroic quality of Katovis, who like Sacco and
Vanzetti paid the price capitalism has to offer
for those who miltantly fight the bosses.
When Sacco and Vanzetti we're executed
hundreds of thousands of workers all over the
world protested in vain. At Steve Katovis'
funeral $4,000 workers surged into Union
Square These masses knew that their fellow
workers had given their all in the struggle.
No worker should be unfamiliar with the
story of Katovis. 1t should be spread wider
and wider each year. And Sacco and Vanzett
Day is the most appropriate day on which to
recall the dying message of Katovis, I'm
dying, comrade. Tell the others outside to keep
up the fight-organize the workers" mes
sage not unlike that pronounced by Sacco and
Vanzetti as they sat in the electric chair to be
bzurned by the frock-coated fiendish agents
of capitalism in Massachusetts.
The Katovis story is told only in this little
pamphlet which sells for 10 cents and is one
of the series issued by International Pamph-
let's. Any worker desiring this pamphlet can
get it by sending 10 cents to Workers Library
Publishers, P. o. Box 148, Station D, New York
City. Unit, section and district literature
agents should see that they Immediately get
