The miners in the state of Colo
RADIO are faced once again with real
task, the low wages with no good
conditions whatsoever in the mines;
force by the operators on the one
hand and with nisleadership, such
as U. M. w. A. and I.W.W., on the
other. But they are willing to fight
this miserable condition under the
leadership Of the National Miners
Union with their fellow workers in
the Eastern states.
On October LIST, 1881, the mines
owned by Rockefeller in the southern
part OF the state went on with a wage
cut Of 20 per cent. Same was done
in the western part of the state.
This wage cut affected more than
5000 miners.
These miners were starving long
before this wage cut was put over.
For instance, soup lines at some of
the mining towns were established
to help the starving miners and their
families. In Oak Creek the soup line
is one mile away from the town
four or five miles away from mines,
Any one could see these miners
wives early in the morning going
with their children poorly dressed,
bare-footed, going for a can of soup
and q loaf of bread.
One Miners Story.
I talk to many miners and here
is the story Of one miner. He was
working every day three hours with
hand pump in his working place to
pump that water out so he would
be able to load coal This he did for
a period of days, asking the mine
foreman for pay. He told him like
any other boss does: mo PAYl

SOUTH NORWALK, Conn.-The

The controlling clique when the
workers asked them whether they
would be considered out of the Union
because they couldn't afford to pay
any dues, answered, I'VE don't give a
damn whether you are in or out OF
the Union. Even if only so pay we

BANKERS DEMAND
WORKERS MONEY
Ask Harry Workers to
Sign Over Savings
cBy a Worker Correspondent

tBy a Worker Correspondent
HARVEY, Ill--Both banks in this
town closed down and the big shots
are trying to get the workers TO sign
over their money that they have in
the banks for one year apd then they
will open the banks again. Maybe?
l tell all the workers not to sign.
The city is about broke and not
able to pay their police and firemen
so they had to float 100000 bonds
to continue.
Everything is going down except
the Unemployed Council-ILD and
the Communist Party and believe me
we are going strong. Another thing
the part time employees are paying
the bulk of the relief in Harvey, H.,
and have no representation IN the
Relief Committee of the Chamber OF
Commerce. This looks like taxation
without representation.

MISERY STALKS
IN LAS VEGAS
Unemployed priv e n
Into Streets
" a Worker CORRESPONDENT

LAS VEGAS, Nev.--The unen-
ployed here, not having a cent to pay
for their nights lodging and finding
the city dumps and park benches I'M
inhabitable on account of the bitter
winds, are now forced to go without
one of the most necessary Of human
needs. Indeed they are going with
out sleep most OF the time.
Many Of the jobleSs have wandered
into the gambling houses which are
open all night for the idle rich and
have sat on the comfortable chairs.
The bouncers of the places of chance
some times have difficulty in sepa-
rating the jobless from the gamblers
and in this way some Of the unen-
ployed got a few winks of sleep.
But this didn't last long. The
sleeping brothers were soon dis
covered and elected into the cold
night. Sleep for many of the work
ers in this town has become lost
art. Many of them can be seen
desperate for sleep, their eyes heavy
and red after days of wandering in
and cold and wet. Their suffering is
undesirable.
Capitalism has condemned these
men to misery and torture. One
question among these sleepless men
is becoming ever louder and fiercer;
What is TO be done?
We Communists can supply the
answer. Organize into the Unem-
ployed Councils. All out in huge
militant demonstrations on Feb. 4th.
Demand unemployment insurance.!
Force the government to act by such
mass action that the country has
never seen before. The unemployed

that a worker can receive S12O more

had the interests Of the local bour-
geciSie at heart.

Bill.
The resolution was tabled for

spoke Of tt misery and suffering Of
the worker and quoted the Chamber
of Commerce figures that jamestown
created q millions in profit last year,
and 80 per cent of the workers re-
ceived three and one third millions
in pay, while the remaining 10 per
cent received the tWenty-seven and
tWo-thirds millions. He said if the
people did not receive unemployment
insurance, the city would be bank
rupt, and said the money could be
levied on the 10 per cent that re-
ceived twenty-seven and two thirds
millions, not on the mass of work
ers. He demanded that money now
used for war purposes in Jamestown
and the u S. be turned over for poor
relief. He then read the Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill and advised the
councilmen to sign it too. Peterson
for the united workers said that the
workers should have cash instead Of
grocery checks.
Milk Question.
Then the milk question was
brought up and it was shown that
reople are buying poor grade Of
milk. 1t was brought out that the
consumer pays 10 cents a quart of
milk and the Dairymen's League
pays the farmer IL cents quart
and steals the balance.
1t was brought out that the milk
sales have fallen off tremendously
due TO unemp' 1yment, which means
that children q, going without milk,
or drinking infe 'i0r milk, while the
worker receives g or 10 dollars a week.
The workers are being made to
realize thot scabs like Anderson and
Scab organizations like the Chamber
of Commerce are opposed to their
interests and their only hope lies in
joining the local Trade Union Unity
League and Unemployed Council in
order to put up united front to

re that the Communist Party offers
the only program to combat misery,
unemployment and starvation wages.

During the course of the strike, two
Organizers" Of the Amalgamated
visited the strike, but did nothing
except request State Commissioner Of
Labor Joseph M. Tone to mediate,
which Tone declined to do.
The first organizer" remained one
day and the second only two days.
In answer to a telephl ne call from
the strikers, the latter answered that
he didn't think .e could do anything
for them"
The workers consider that they were
deserted and sold out by the Anal
gamated takers. The day before the
strike ended, H. Kapian, local N. T.
w. I. U. representative, spoke at a
meeting of the strikers local. His
emarks were greeted with enthusiasm
and the strikers voted 10 to 3 to &C

The following day number were

by the desertion of the Amalgamated
takers.

Daily Worker
Now that the class struggle is
sharpening and the workers are rer
fusing to submit TO the Hoover, diet
Of bunk about individualism and
faith, let the workers be warned
against the preacher crusaders-the
Father CoXes--who rant about the
intolerable conditions in the country.
They show the workers that con-
ditions are horrible to the extreme,
yet they offer no constructive REM
edy. They have the facts about cap
italism. that is. they tell us that there
is something wrong, but do not give
us cure.
They try to reconcile the glazing
contradictions of the bible to the fact
that the workers are starving. Tne
workers want results today and not
pie in the sky tomorrow. We don't
want to beg. We are out to demand.
We can get unemployment insurance
If we get together-the masses OF
workers-and fight for it with the
Communist Party and the Unem-
ployed Councils.
These who still believe that the
clergy will lead them 10 victory, let
them remember that the clergy has
been against the workers in the past,

Smash Old Traditions :.
You can inaoine how the men

overcome all these prejudices. Wom-

here whatsoever. Unemployment has
been nquidated. This shows us dis
tinctly that the working class of the
Soviet Union. with the Communists

to complete tbs tasks.
Social Activities
We women take an active part in
all social activities of the factory.
Each organization, each committee

After working hours the workers at

laying off some fireman. The poor

spoke his mind to Chief Levine, in
which he said a few truths that the
citizens have known all along-that
there are DRINKS and loafers on the

full knowledge of this. Levine did
not say one word in defense Of his
fascist police. He limited at graft in
