While gathering material for
"Chats," got a hold of the New
York Times Magazine, Section Of
May 10, 1892 In that issue, there
lis an article entitled, Miners, and
yet Mountaineers at Heart" by NAL
colin Ross.
He tells there how pressed the min
ers are by want in the course Of the
story. He writes like this:
1T was their religion which broke
the rising power Of the Communist
Union, the National Mine Workers,
in the eastern Kentucky coal fields
Hungry. ready to listen to anyone
promising relief, the miners had
taken out union cards and sworn
to stick out q strike. A group of
them went TO New York to take the
seven weeks Communist courses.
There they were astounded to
hear that religion was held to be
drug administered by capitalists to
the working classes. that they could
not cling to their faith and remain
good Communists. Some Of the
miners returned outraged and spread
the news that their leaders were
atheists. DISBURSEMENT ate at the
core Of the National Mine Workers
strength. The strike was broken
without b1oodshed. Lean miners look
levelly through solemn eyes and say:
7 couldn't deny my God. Religion
in this case was on the side Of the
strike breakers"
Nothing about troops, about sher-
ifs, about bloody company thugs
about the betrayal Of the United
Mine misleaders. Everything was
peaceful without bloodshed. 1t also
shows how the bosses are trying to
break our strikes against wage cuts
and speed-up by creating struggle
between workers ON religion.
You miners, who went through all
the terror, when you read this in the
Daily Worker, show 1t to your fellow
miners, talk to them how the cap
italist press lies about you. II pos
sible work out a leafiet based on this.

OHIO MINER TELLS
OF UNI. SELL-0UT
Governors Plan Put
Them at Bosses Mercy

BELMONT, O.-Since the UMWA
sold the strike of the miners Of East
ern Ohio and the Hooking Valley,
after seven to nine months of star
walton and fighting a losing battle,
the miners have had he'll Of time.
Everybody knows how the UMWA
agreed to the governors plan, which
is supposed to be arbitration between
the miners and the company, but
which is really tying the miner to
the company.
One of the points is that all fur
ther wage cuts should be taken to
him for consideration thirty days be-
fore it comes into effect. The miners
have right of representation.
Another point is all men previously
employed in said mine will be given
the first opportunity to go to work,
and there will be no outside labor
employed until all men of said mine
are rehired. If both parties don't
agree, the governor will decide the
issue.
We miners have already tried this
point out, we demanded bread, the
governor gave us bullets and tear
gas.
The men who are working now are
getting their coal weighed by the
company bosses, and are getting two
tons for loading four-ton car. There
are men being picked out of the mine
and fired for loading dirty coal. They
have no chance Of seeing the dirt
they are supposed to have loaded
according to law.
This is the governors plan in &C
ton. 1t is the bosses plan. 1t is the
UMWA plan.
The Eastern Ohio miners went back
to work after being told by theU.M.
WA. officials to get a job if possible.
There are from four to five thou
sand victimized miners in East Ohio
who are out of job because of the
policy of the UMWA officials in the
strike.
What Go the miners who were
forced back to work under this strike
breaking policy say now, also the
victimized men who cannot get 8
job? They say we are going to Or
ganize the miners in Ohio, for the
next struggle.
Members of the UMWA, employed
and unemployed, along with the
members Of the National Miners
Union, elect pit committees and
fight on a united front basis for
our immediate needs.

thousand inhabitants and is COM
pletely bankrupt. Many of the work.
ers lost their savings when the banks
closed. Some of the bank failures
here have been caused by manipu-
lation as well as by the economic
crisis Of capitalism.
Now these defrauded workers have
to live on sloppy bowl Of soup
which is called ''relief" The soup
and bread fit for pigs is given out
three times a week.

officials and the fakes Of the UNI
WA. had a meeting here in Taylor,
which decides that there was not
enough orders for coal to resume
operations of the Glen Alden Coal
Company.
The colliery here is idle for two
years, the workers who are living
on the bosses sloppy soup, are so
anxious to go back to work and earn
a decent living if possible. heard
a cripple woman, who is a mother
of 2 children, say, "Oh god, wish
they would start these mines, be-
cause 1 don't know what will hap
pen with my family" This poorly
woman was helping
her husband gather some coal for
the winter on the nearby company
dumps.
There's hundreds of other workers
doing the same, some are risking
their lives by digging for coal under
rock which is not supported properly.
I hear many workers say they are
discontented with Hoover but they
still think that Wall Street Roose-
welt will put them to work. Well, we
can't expect these workers to think
otherwise until we expose the hypo-
crisy OF capitalist politicians to them.

not merely for higher prices, but
against foreclosures, sheriff's sales,
and evictions, and against the pay
ment Of taxes.
Milo Reno, $4,000 year president
Of the National Farmers Holiday As
ISOLATION, and John H. Bosch, Mime
sofa state president, are linked up
with the Farm bloc "Progressives"
the fake farmers co-operatives",
and with the social-fascist Farmer
Labor Party. They placed them
selves at the head of the farm strike
movement in order to head it off.
This was most clearly brought out in
speech made by one Of the local
takers at Wisconsin farmers mass
meeting, in which he endorsed the
farm strike because "if we don't de-
mand something, the Communists
will, and they are multiplying as fast
as mosquitoes"
When the Governors Conference
took place in Sioux City, Iowa, in
SEPTEMBER, the Farmer-Labor Gov
ernor Olson Of Minnesota made a
bombastic statement to the press
that "if the farm strike spreads to
Minnesota, I will call out the Ma
tional Guard, if necessary, to help
the farmers"
Well, the farm strike did spread
to Minnesota, but Governor Olson's
actions were just the opposite of his
demamgogic statements, as could be
expected. When the farm pickets
were blocking all highways into the
Twin Cities, Governor Olson called
upon the sheriffs and their deputies
to "keep order. By keeping order,
he meant to smash the picket-lines.
But unfortunately, the sheriffs and
their deputies met their match. Dur
ing the course Of several pitched bat
ties between the deputies and the
aroused farmers, one sheriff was
knocked unconscious.
The State Police then raided the
picket camps.
The solidarity of the city workers,
employed and unemployed, were
pledged to the farm strike by the
Communist Party and the Unem-
ployed Council, which endorsed the
strike and organized solidarity dem
onstrations in Minneapolis and other
cities, raising the slogan of joint
action to fight for higher prices for
the farmers and lower prices for the
city workers
The capitalist political parties are
against the farm strike. The Re-
publican and Democratic parties say
so openly; the "progressives" like
Broekhart, and the armer-Laborites
like Olson, give lip-service to the
farm strike, but the actions of Olson
in breaking the strike in Minnesota
should show the farmers how much
they can believe in these faker's
sympathy. The Socialist Party has
come out openly against the farm

liable allies, the cops. Incidentally

ers in general.
How long must we workers con-
duct ourselves like a school of life
less, spineless jellyfish, to be help
lessly swayed and swept by the cur
rent that carries US to certain de-
struction and elimination? To avoid
this, we must, at once and without
fail, attach ourselves to our proper

tionary organization that is poison to

MINE TOWN OF
200 SEES LARGE
VOTE RED" SIGN
Hungry Workers Paint
It on 1875 Foot Tank
Overlooking Town

WHITE PINE MINE, Mich. - In
this mining town of about 200 popu-
lation several attempts have been
made to keep the Communist cleo
ton posters Of Comrade Foster and
Ford posted on the wall OF several
old empty buildings. But without
success, as 1t was too much for the
endurance of the township officials
who have torn them down each
time.
But on the morning of october Is
the township officials were terrified
to see on a las foot water tank,
which overIooks the town, painted in
large letters such slogans as vote
Communists and hammer and
sickle. Attempts we're made during
the day to rub off this CHASTITY spec
tacle, SO seen in the ewes Of the OFF,
Gals and some respectable" citizens
but without success.
Finally the officials gathered toge-
ther their scattered wits and late in
the afternoon the company watch
man was ordered to go up there and
smear tar to cover the dauntinR
signs. These signs were the talk Of
the town.
The important officials. such as
Tom Wilcox, who is the big shot OF
the whole country, fear that these
siens and slogans will have great
effect in turning the workers toward
Communism, as about 20 per cent OF
the population voted Communist In
the last township elections.
The conditions of the workers here
are terrible. The mines have beer
closed for the last II years and il
there is any work the bosses fiunkeys
get nearly all Of it.
All the work to be had st the pre-
sent time is ct some lumber camps
that pay so cents day for 10 hours
The men live in old stinky and lousy
box cars that aren't fit for pigs to
live in.

strike, as evidenced in Norman
Thomas speeches.
The Communist Party is the only
party that has endorsed the farm
ers' struggle against bankruptcy and
ruin, and offers in its election plat
form the only program for the imme-
date interests Of the small and mid
die farmer. The third point in the
national Communist election plat
form demands: Emergency relief
70 the impoverished farmers without
restrictions by the government and
the banks; exemption of poor farm
ers from taxes, and no forced collec-
tion Of rents or debts.
Communists in Minnesota and
other states have taken the lead in
putting this program into action, by
stopping sheriff's sales and foreclos-
mes, byo rganizing farmers relief
demonstrations and hunger marches
as in st. Louis County, and by ac-
lively supporting the Farmers Ma
tional Relief Conference meeting in
Washington, D. c., December 7.
