perspective by those who know the
story told in the final chapters of
this book. 1t runs from about 1849
to 1881 and covers every great strike
as well as the scores of minor strug-
giles that have given the coal dig
gers their fine traditions of militancy.
There were many betrayals along the
way, and many tools of the mine
owners who sold out the interests OF
the workers at every opportunity
THE Reign Of Lewis" is the title
Of one of these chapters which tells
of the traitor John L. Lewis who as
sisted by Pat Pagan and his kind
played deliberately into the hands of
the Rockefellers, Schwabs, Peabodys,
q. S. Steel Corporation and others.
The crooked dealings Of the Far
ringtons, Nesbits, Fishwicks, Murrays
and Kennedys as well as the vacil-
lations of the Howatts and Brophys
are also exposed in detail.
Liberals, Socialists, Musteites, as
well as the big labor takers have

A r E V I,E w
By WILLIAM z. FOSTER

BY WILLIAM z. FOSTER
Workers who want to know what
is behind the present revolt of 10000
miners in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
West Virginia should read Labor and
Coal by Anna Rochester. 1t is one
of the labor and industry series pre-
pared by the Labor Research Asso-
citation and issued by the Interna-
tional Publishers, 381-4th Avenue,
New York and sells at 81 a copy.
What does this book do? 1t tells
us first what is the matter with
coal' as mined in the capitalist Uni
ted States 1t traces brilliantly the
war boom, the depression in the in
dustry that began long before the
general economic crisis, and carries
the story of the mining collapse right
down to the beginning of the cur
rent year.
Then it reveals as no other book
has ever revealed the deceptive
methods of the companies to hide
their profits, and proceeds to exa-
mine in detail the various channels
through which the capitalist class
extracts toll from a sick" industry
even when it is apparently earning"
no met profits" Along with this it
shows the steady growth of mergers
and the Tightening control of Nor
gan, Mellon and the other big bank
ers on the mines. 1t brings out as
particularly significant the control
over coal by other industrial COM
panies such as U. S. Steel Corpor-
alton. Coal miners who want to know
just what combination of financial
buzzards they are working for or
striking against can readily find the
answer in these splendid chapters on
the economic and financial aspects
of the industry. The worker en-
ployed by Pittsburgh Terminal Coal
Co., for example, can find on page
Sc what other mining companies are
tied in with the operators who profit
from his exploitation.
Then We come to the coal digger
himself. All the necessary facts are
here in brief readable yet adequate
form along with data on wages,
hours, piece rates, speed up, new
machinery, unemployment, accidents,
deaths, occupational diseases. Those
who cannot go to Pittsburgh to see
with their own eyes how miners live
can with the aid of this book form
very clear picture Of mining and
the conditions that foreran the pre-
sent revolt.
The great strike now in progress
is not just another coal strike, 1t
has specific features which I shall
discuss in another place. But it car
only be seen in its full historical

industrial plants, including coal
mines are ready to produce for war
and $4,000 capitalists have been given
commissions as Reserve Officers. The
war gets nearer every day!
Miners, you who know what the
capitalist class is and how their gov
eminent is against you when you
strike against starvation, should know
also that all over the world on Aug.
First, the militant workers are going
to demonstrate in protest at the Ca
pitalist war makers, and their plots
for war, and their plan to invade and
make war on the Soviet Union, the
workers only fatherland!

Greetings tothe Fighting Miners

The material for this page has
been provided by the John Reed
Club of New York.
The John Reed Club is an organ
ization Of writer's and artists dedi-
Gated to the ideals of that deathless
revolutionist and writer whose ashes
lie under the Kremlin Wall in Mos
COW. This page is an expression of
our solidarity with the 10000 miners
and their families in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and West Virginia who are
fighting against starvation and for
the right to live. "8'''
The John Reed Club takes sides
in this struggle as 1t does in all the
struggles Of the working class. 1t
takes sides with the heroic miners
and against the united front Of coal
operators, state government and the
strikebreaking officials Of the coal
operators union, the United Mine
Workers Of America.
Plundered and betrayed for years,
living under conditions that mean
disease, suffering and slow starva-
ton for tens Of thousands, the re-
voting miners are today marching
in the vanguard Of history, fighting
the battle Of the entire American
working class. Every worker, every
honest intellectual must support
their struggle. Every worker every
honest intellectual must condemn
the unparalleled terror that has been

Working Conditions in the Mine Fields

improved cutting machines, multiple
drills, and scores of other mechani-
cal devices, coupled with terrific
Speed-up, are depriving greater and
greater numbers of their only means
of earning a livelihood. Some 100000
900 has already been invested in new
mechanical equipment, $44,O0O,02 of
this being in 1880 alone. Between
1913 and 1929, the average miners
output has increased "a percent as
result.
Such factors as these, coupled with
the closing down of the less produc-
tive mines, have naturally resulted
In mass unemployment among miners.
In the single year 1927, $4,000 men
were eliminated from the industry.
Fully third of the bituminous min
ers in the States of Pennsylvania
and Illinois and over half those in
Ohio and Indiana have been per-
manently thrown out of jobs. South
ern states produced 44,50O, 900 more
tons OF coal In 1929 than In 1928
with ASSOC fewer miners. In the
Western fields over 10000 fewer had
Jobs during the same period.
In all. there are now around $4,000
fewer miners In the industry than
there were seven or eight years ego.
In addition. thousands Of additional
skilled craftsmen have been replaced
by unskilled labor, as machinery In
stallations have rendered old skills
obsolete.
Moreover, those remaining on the
Job are plauged by the continual I'M
certainty Of short time. Mines are
being worked with greater and great
er irregularity. Whole fields are now
operating fewer than 200 days a year.
Struggle Ahead
Against such a background OF ply
steal danger. poverty and mass I'M
employment, the A. F. Of L. United
Mine Workers has openly exposed
itself as the ally Of the mine owners
1t accedes to wage cuts with merely
verbal protests-never mass struggle;
it accepts speed-up and rationaliza-
ton on the operators terms; 1t
frankly comedies that thousands Of
miners must be eliminated from the
industry; 1t embarks on an open po-
Icy Of strike breakng-as In the pre-
sent strike.
Under such circumstances, the pre-
sent Miners Strike becomes merely
a forerunner Of long. militant and
bitter battles ahead. This will Of
necessity be waged not only against
the mine owners but against the
labor betrayers in the camps OF the
A. F. OF L., and the Conference for
Progressive Labor Action as we'll

The John Reed Club declares Its
unqualified support of:
The National Miners Union which

The Workers International Relief,

The International Labor Defense

give their utmost moral and finan-

Physical Danger, Poverty and Mass Unem
ployment Have Been Coal Miners Lot

In return for facing such risk
the miner is rare, indeed, who earns
enough to keep his family far above
the poverty line There are increas-
ingly few even in the anthricite fields,
who can ST for a days work. In
many states, as Alabama and Ten
nessee, the average of many has
pushed below So a day. Surface work
ers average even less.
Meanwhile, as Anna Rochester
clearly shows in Labor and Coal, the
wage cutting campaigns of the bosses
are continuing with increased fury

breaking the Jacksonville Agreement
in 1924 and 1925, but it again initi-
ated wage cut in April, 1929, which
was quickly followed up by other OPP
orators in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia, and the Southern fields.
Between 1925 and 1880 wages fell
40 percent in most fields. Mean
while daily cuts are an almost daily
occurrance. The 8 to 10 hour day
underground is also far from uncom-
mon.
