Illinois Governor Is
"Not at Home"

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. 90. = A

ray. They were to demand that the

Unity Demanded.
The move to unite the struggle of
the Illinois mine strikers with that
Of the rank and file miners in In
diana, fighting a wage cut from $6.1O
daily basic rate to 81, is going for
ward. The Rank and File Opposition
which inspired the militant struggle
of the Illinois miners has all along
campaigned for unity with the In
diana miners. The present forma.
approach of the Illinois policy COM
mittee to the Indiana Opposition
comes as a result of this demand Of
the miners themselves.
The Illinois policy committee
which has been partially under the
influence of Musteites, begins to show
a tendency towards relying on lega-
methods. Some of its members talk
of trying to use the Injunction bar

ton was secured by the Walker-Fish-

NEW YORK-When IS million
workers are unemployed and starv-

lynched, farmers evicted from their

Norman Thomas, socialist candidate

Jones Beach is located at a great

()CAL TO FIGHT
ANVTF'R ACITE CUT
UNIV. Miners Against
20 Per Cent Pay Slash

PLYMOUTH Va, Aug. 29.-Local
Union 1174 of the United Mine Work
ers at Lance Colliery of the Glen
Alden Coal Co., at its regular meet
ing Thursday night, took a stand
against the announced 20 per cent
wage-cut IN the Anthracite.
The miners decided to draw up a
resolution which is to contain the
following points:
THAT the union is not to agree
to any reduction in wages from the
present scale at the coming confer
ence.
2.-That the conference in New
York be open to the public
3.-That copies Of the resolution be
sent to the district and national Of
fices Of the U.M.WA. and to the
press.
The above local union is the first
to adopt such a resolution. This,
however, expresses the general feel
ing of the Anthracite miners in re-
CARDS to the proposed wage-cut.
Foster, Communist candidate for
President, in his speaking tour in
the Anthracite, was arrested at
Scranton when he started to warn
the miners that this wage-cut was
being prepared for them by the OPP
orators and their UM.W.A. interna-
tional and district officials.
U. M. w. Officials for Cut.
The officials of the U.M.W.A. pre-
tend to be against it, but will either
surrender at the last minute, or
throw it over to fake arbitration.
The miners should form rank and
file committees of action in every
local, bring before the locals and
get adopted resolutions like that of
Local liza and be prepared to strike
The National Miners Union will
cooperate to the fullest extent in
this strike against a wage-cut.

Collections to buy coffee and-for
the pickets who protected the house
were taken from among the unem-
ployed workers who gathered in thou
sands near the house to show their
support.
Fridays attack on the workers was
carried through with machine guns,
sawed off shot guns, tear gas, re-
volvers and night clubs. Workers,
mounted on porches, telegraph poles
and housetops, answered the attack
with showers CT bricks and wood.
Through the ten days of the strug-
gle, literally hundreds of workers who
had never addressed a crowd before
mounted the porch of the Mitchell
home and told the assembled workers
of their hatred Of a system which
doomed millions of workers to starv-
alton.
Call For Conference
The Unemployed Council has is
sued a call for a conference of mass
organizations and block committees
to lay further plans for continuing
the struggle against all evictions.
AS the result of the enthusiasm for
struggle against evictions aroused by
the fight to prevent the eviction of
the Mitchell family, thousands of
workers are m obilizing to prevent the
eviction of another worker in North
Detroit. Police are preventing work
ers and all traffic from coming with
in blocks of the workers home.

1900 PICKET
JERSEY STRIKE
Freiheit Reporter Is
Attacked By Police

SOUTH RIVER, N. j., Aug %
The 1000 girl garment strikers
marched in a solid mass picket dem
onstration here today in defiance of
threats of the mill bosses, state and
local police to break the strike with
violence.
The town has become a veritable
armsd camp since the strike began at
the South River Dress Co. a week
ago All union organizers coming
into the town ~ at once seized by
police and company gangsters and
r2ilroaded out of the city
Reporter Beaten
Today reporter for the Morning
Freiheit," VIM. Abrams, was viciously
dubbed and beaten by police and
thugs and later put in car and
driven out of town.
Abrams, who went to South River
to report the strike for his paper, was
singled out by state police as he APP
preached the picket line. One cop
held him by the neck while others
beat him about the body. The police
continued the beating despite the
fact that Abrams showed his re-
porter's card.
Following this, Abrams proceeded
to the mayors office to protest
against the outrageous treatment. He
was thereupon pounced upon by a
group of company thugs, who slugged
him, put him in car and whisked
him out Of South River.
In an attempt to hoodWink the
strikers into giving up the struggle,
the mayor organized a conference to
which the manufacturers and strike
committee were invited. The manu-
facturers refused to grant the strik-
ers their demands, which are a mini
mum of Is cents per dress and rec
ignition Of the shop committees. The
workers broke up the meeting and
pledged to continue the strike.
The mayor of the town mas been
playing the role of "the friend of
the strikers" in an attempt to lure
them away from their determined
fight. The strikers, however, are re-
lying only on the strike committee,
which is forced to meet in New
Brunswick, and their own militancy.
Girls speaking in the strike meet
ings declare that they were forced
to work 60 hours a week for as low a
wage as IS.
we can't pay rent" said one of
the strikers. Look at the manu-
facturers in their fine house.
When they say they can't pay us
what we demand, they lie!"
All throughout the strike the girls
have been given guidance by the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union and the Trade Union Unity
League.

PACE WARNS VETS
ON LEGION TRICK
Only Stiff Mass Fight
Will Win Bonus

NEW YORK, Aug, Warning
the war veterans not to be lulled
into passivity by announcements that
the American Legion is going on re-
cord for the bonus" John Pace, leader
of the Workers Ex-Servicemen's Lea
que, urged the vets today to get be-
hind the real drive for the bonus
that is being led by the rank and
file.
1T was the rank and file who
forced the bonus issue on the floor
in the Legion convention in Brook
lyn," said Pace. although the bonus
resolution was passed in various con-
ventions, it means nothing unless
the rank and file through militant
mass action forces the g overnment
to pay the back the wages due us.
THE Legion officials are for the
bonus just like the A. F. of L. Off
Gals are for Unemployment Insur-
ance. They utter hypocriticaI phrases
about the bonus and at the same time
put up bitter fight against any
organized struggle of the rank and
file for the bonus
The latest move Of the repub-
leans, led by Hoover is to remain
silent" on the bonus is merely a piece
Of election campaign strategy. They
see the democrats, who are also
against the bonus, stealing their
thunder The only political Party
that is supporting the vets fight for
the bonus is the Communist Party.
Fight OF All Workers
Veterans also must understand
that the fight of the veterans must
be no narrow fight; it must be part
of the struggle of the entire work.
in0clsss against hunger ard war.
Our fight is a fight for unem-
ployment insurance, for equal rights
for Negroes, against wage-cuts and
agai7st imperialiSt war.
1.-THE struggle of the veterans must
move forward to a new militant stage.
The conference to be held in Cleve-
land Sept. 23-24-25 will be the next
major step to win the vets back
wages. At this conference we expect
representative delegations from every
state in the union.
Won One Demand
Through our militancy we have
won one demand already-the liquid
alton Of the two year clause, which
made it possible for over 10000 vets
to get half of their bonus. The
Workers Ex-Servicemen's League was
the only organization to demand the
removal of the two year clause.
"As we forced the government to
remove the two year clause, we will
also make the government pay the
bonus"

State, through it's representatives
here, has refused to grant visas to
the Scottsboro Negro mother Mrs,
Ada Wright, and j. Louis Engdahl,
general secretary of the International

When the visa was refused by a
German Official, Mrs. Wright de-
manded to see personally the repre-
sentative of the De Valera govern
ment and to learn why the visa was
refused her. The De Valera spokes-
man refused even to speak to her,
sending word through his German
representative that che will give no
reason for refusing the visa"
It is expected that the Irish work
ers in Dublin will make a demand
directly upon the De Valera govern
ment that Mrs. Wright be admitted.

SCOIISBORO BOYS
ASK Big PROTEST
Urge Exposure of the
NAACP Treachery

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 29-From the
death cells in Kilby Prison, Mont
gomery, Alabama, eight of the inno-
cent Scottsboro Negro boys yesterday
expressed their deep appreciation fol
the militant support of the interna-
tional working-cl modified by the
Communist parties Of the world and
the International Red Aid, and its
American section, the International
Labor Defense.
They told their visiting parents and
william Patterson, Negro labor lead
er and member of the National Exec
utive Committee of the I. L. D, that
they fully realized that only the
worldwide protests had so far
stopped the hands of the Alabama
boss lynchers.
Patterson and the Scottsboro
parents were allowed only 20 min
utes of the 45-m'nute visiting
period, the prison authorities at
first even attempting to deny them
the right to see the boys.
The boys all joined in call for an
increased exposure of the leaders Of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancsment Of Colored People, whom
they charged with constantly at
tempting to disrupt the mass defense
and betray their cause. They urged
an increased effort to secure the re-
lease of Roy Wright and Eugene
Williams on bail, the two youngest
boys, who are facing new trials in
the Alabama lynch courts. The boys
expressed their solidarity with the
struggles of the working class and
requested great Labor Day mobili-
cation Of the toiling masses for the
fight against hunger and terror, and
for the release Of Tom Mooney, Edith
Berkman, the Scottsboro boys and
other victims of capitalist justice.
