I within the past few months-prs-
cisely at the time the imperialists
were maturing their plans for
armed intervention against the vic
torious Five Year Plan, against so
cialist economy in the Soviet Union
which has abolished unemployment
and is constantly raising the stand
ard Of living OF the Soviet masses
at the very time when millions OF
workers with their families in the
capitalist countries are thrown on
the streets to starve and are denied
the most meager relief.
French Train White Guards
In Foreign Legion.
The French imperiaIists not only
support the White Guard War Col
lege and n1unition factories, but have
made special arrangement with the
Tssrists whereby "ex-Russian off,
GERS may enlist for short terms in
the French Foreign Legion. Sixty
per cent of the officers in the French
Foreign Legion are Russians, while
the typographical staff OF the Legion,
one OF the most important branches,
Is entirely White Russian"
Manchurian Seizure Preliminary
Move
The Japanese seizure OF Mauchuria
and the growing attacks of the i'm
perialists and their Kuomintang
lackeys against the Chinese masses
and their Soviet Government and
Chinese Red Army are preliminary
moves in the plans for armed inter
vention against the Soviet Union.
The Chinese masses are putting up
G heroic resistance against the at
tenpts Of the irnperialists to split up
China into colonies OF the imperial
lists.
The workers Of the whole world
must support the Chinese masses in
their fight against imperialism.
Every victory OF the Chinese masses
and their Red Army weakens the
grip OF the imper1alist starvation
system which is clubbing down strik-
ers IN Kentucky. numbering Negro

There is only one UNdWA local in
the entire field and that is not func-

UMWA organizer here is walking
through Pineville with the ''UMWA"
written in big letters all over his

remembrance of their experience with
the sell-out of the UAWA.

Miners who spoke at the strike
mass meeting in WalIins Creek on
Sunday described the starvation
conditions in their camps, mo food,

used as a medicine for sick babies
when 1T can be obtained. Day
men on eight-hour shifts worked
IL to ID hours before the strike
without getting anything for over
time.

The Bell National Bank in Pine

Successful mass strike meetings

tsctives was Jack Neil, chief Of the
red squad Of Chattanooga, who q
month ago arrested Jane Dillon, In

Of the southern district, FOR "vag-

Tor "a hours.
Together these four men looked UP,
witt, great difficulty three Negro
workers living in the wretched, mud
rutted, st1anty-town Negro section of
Chattanooga. They had a purpose
In this.
Try 10 Terrorize DeTense witnesses.
Months ago, soon after the Scots
boro boys were convicted, Asbury
Clay and his wife Savannah, and Tom
Landers had told the parents Of the
Scottsboro youths that they knew
something about the two white girls
ON that freight train. They volun-
tsered to make statements under
oath about the girls, whose pictures
in the newspapers they recognized.
Voluntarily, with a dozen other
people, they went to the Office of
George w Chamlee, I. L. D. attor-
ney for the boys, and swore that
they had seen Ruby Bates and Vic
toria Price drunk and exposing their
bodies indecently in the Negro ghet-
to; had heard them make leWd ap-
pruaefes to Negro men on pay night
near the gate Of the big foundry in
town.
What happened when the two
white men, accompanied by two
hulking detectives, tracked down
these witnesses in their shanty
homes. it is hard to say. Certainly,
the Negroes were terrorised, and
most likely they we're threatened.
Still they refused to sign anything
for the Alabamans and their police
guards.
AL Campbell could do was make q
sworn statement in which HE says
that Asbury Clay and his wife Sa-
vanah denied being certain about the
girls. HE says that Asbury Clay and
his wife said they did not know
what they were signing, but signed
something or other for rs cents and
a dinner. HE says that Tom Landers
said he didn't know the girls either
and had been in the penjtentisry at
the time he told Chanllee he rec

PINEVILLE.

PlNEVlLLE, KY,
Jan. 19.-Miners walk
ed from camps Is miles
away yesterday morn
ing for mass picketing
at the Glendon Mines in
Straight Creek to smash the
federal injunction obtained by
the Straight Greek Coal Co. by
Leon K. Calvert, attorney for
Henry ord in Kentucky.
Granny Snow, 71-year- old miners
wife, named in this federal injunc-
taon, speaking at a Straight Greek
strike meeting urged the miners not
to go back even if relief stops al
together. sThe present sacrifice Is
necessary to win better conditions"
said this old fighter. At the same
time she pointed out that the Work
ers International Relief, with its
warehouse at 145 Pine ST., Pinevi1le,
and through its national office at is
West Dist Street, New York, was
gathering food from the workers all
over the country. "More relief will
soon be coming" she said. But we
must go on with the strike regard
less. We must pull all the men out.
We must extend the strike TO every
mine In Kentucky"
In an attempt to divide the unity
of the Negro and white strikers, the
operators are spreading the stupid
lie that the National Miners Union
called the strike so it could bring
Negroes in to take the jobs of the
strikers. The solidarity between the
Negro and white strikers remains ex-
cellent and is the reason this lie is
being spread in an effort to divide
the fighting ranks.
Local newspapers are trying to
start back to work movement by
saying the miners at Brush Greek
and Greasy Greek, where every mine
is shut down solid are going back to
work.
Sentiment for the National Min
ers' Union is 100 per cent among
the miners, and no back-to-work
movement Is discernible.
Deputy Gun Thugs Cover Highways.
An army Of Harlan deputy gun
thugs, paid by the coal operators,
covered the state highways on Sun
day all the way from the town of
Harlan to Pineville. They carried
machine guns and did everything
they could to prevent Bell County
miners from attending Wallins Greek
and Harlan County mass strike
meetings.
Every strike leader escaped the
dragnet except Charlie Peters, chair
man OF the Central Strike Relief
Committee, who was arrested in the
town Of Harlan, charged with trying
to overthrow the state of Kentucky
because he was buying flour and
beans for the starving Kentucky min
ers. The arrest of Peters Is In line
With the policy OF the operators in

the Yangtze River to attack the
Chinese Red Army in the effort OF
the Wall Street imperialists to stem
the victorious advance of the Red
Army
Frantic efforts are being made TO
stabilize the bankrupt Marking gov
eminent. A Pieping dispatch to the
New York Times admits that behind
the frantic efforts to strengthen the
Marking government is the realiza-
ton that the Communist movement
in China is growing stronger day by
day, with the masses rallying to the
revolutionary movement as the only
way out Of inaperialist and landlord
oppression. The dispatch states:
'HThe urgent necessity for some
solution Of the present political
and military stalemate is indicated
by tbs rapidly growing power Of
the Communists in Central China
The Red propagandists are said to
be melting trouble and n,utinies
even among General ChLang's
forces In the vicinity Of EaIfeng
and along the Lungl.a! Railway"
This same dispatch indicates that
when Chang was forced out by the
mass upsurge throughout China, he
not only looted the treasury but took
along all removable valuables. The
military airplanes Of the Marking
government were al seized by Chang,

Of few dollars Ill several millions,

facts.
Attorney Taub was given an op-
portunity to address the court but he
was not allowed to call witnesses
He was given until Friday noon to
prepare afhdavits.
A dozen miners came I'D from

Taub outlined the reign of terror,
the Humiliation Of witnesses in the
Pineville court, the denial Of the
right to picket, and the violation Of
every constitutional right. He ex-
posed Reed Patterson as the coal

prosecutor and friend Of the court
He said that the deputies in their
