at Bryant Ave. Houses

NEW YORK. Drunken police
thugs and cars filled with police and
detective broke into meeting of
1000 workers who, led by the Unem-

MINE STRIKE SPREADS
IN ILLINOIS; READY TO
MARCH IN INDIANA
5000 Colbert Funeral Struggle Against Wage Cut Sweeps Thru
Fields More Organization Is Needed In Southern Illinois
FRANKLIN COUNTY
PICkETING BEGUN
Close Another Mine
In Northern Field


SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. FL
While hundreds Of the 5000 march,
ing miners who stopped all four
Taylorville mines last week remain
there to picket. the bulk Of the
marchers are swinging out across the
state to organize new picketing.
Yesterday marchers and local pickets
stopped all work at the Shuler mine
in Alpha, in the northern Illinois
fields.
Yesterday, also, nlarchers appeared
before the Peabody Coal Co. mine at
West Frankfort, Franklin County, in
the southern Illinois fields. Joined
by local pickets, they swarmed along
the roads to the tipple, and stopped
hundreds from entering. Many of
these will join the strike. A few
went into the mine, but picketing
will continue.
Carrying of the strike into the
Southern fields is of extreme impor-
lance, as this is the heaviest coal
production center in the state. The
Orient No. 1 and No. mines at
West Frankfort are the largest in the
world.
5000 Honor Colbert
Five thousand (by count Of capital
list press reporters miners attended
the mass funeral of Joe Colbert, sec
rotary of Local 303 of the United
Mine Workers, one of the local lead
ers who endorsed and supported all
the proposals of the Rank and File
Opposition. Colbert was chairman of
the meeting of 10000 a week ago at
Bend which voted to strike against
tbs wage cuts. He was murdered
last Wednesday, by three operators
gunner, who found him picking
mushrooms in front of his house and
deliberately shot him down. The
company gun thug Sutton, who fired
the fatal shot, was afterwards ar
rested, but has already been released.
This mass outpouring at Colbert's
funeral shows the sympathies of the
miners Of the lower end of the state
with the demands of the Rank and
File Opposition
1t is in the southern fields, how
ever, that the Rank and File Oppo-
sition is weakest in organization, and
steps must be taken at once to
remedy this.
At the meeting of 10000 miners
over which Colbert presided, at Bend
in the southern edge of the central
Illinois fields, the Musteite Ansbury
and the Trotskyite Jerry Allard were
sharply criticized for their program
of no real strike against wage cuts
but a mere stoppage of work until
"an honest referendum can be taken.
Hershy brought before the meeting,
instead, the Rank and File Opposition
program of strike against wage cuts,
under leadership of strike committees
elected in each local and by SUBJ
districts.
Allard, an expelled Communist
Party member, then demagogically
attacked Hershy as q Communist.
The policy meeting at Bend, which
reported to the Bend mass meeting,
had representatives of all sub-dis-
tricts except No. 2. 1t was under
Ansbury, Musteite leadership. Clusk-
er, of Springfield. presented the Rank
and File Opposition program to the
policy conference, but the Musteite
chairman refused to put it to vote.
The Rank and File Opposition pro-
gram, however, endorsed the mass
meeting.

Il Trade Pacts
End Ottawa Meet
Hit United States and
U.S.S.R. Trade

OTTAWA, Aug. 21.-After an all
night dispute involving particularly
the British and Canadian delegates,
the Imperial Economic Conference
ended here yesterday when IL sepa-
rate trade pacts were signed aiming
to strengthen the British Empire,
weaken United States imperialism
and deliver a blow to Soviet trade.
The pacts entered into at the I'm
perial Economic Conference are not
made known as yet, but well in
formed" circles estimate that they
involve loss of from $50,000,000 to
100000 for the United States.
Liberals" here are attacking the
results of the Conference as being
against the United States. They &C
cuse Premier Bennett of trying to
secure "closer unity" of the Empire
at the expense of the world at large,
but declare that they will not refuse
to ratify the pacts.
That the conference did not weld
the Empire into an economic unit, as
it was expected, is shown by the fact
that while IL separate agreements
were reached hitting mainly United
States and Soviet trade, no general
agreement was possible at the Con-
ference in view of the insoluble con-
tradictions existing within the En-
pire itself.
Practically all the agreements re-
sulting from the Imperial Economic
Conference mean, however, a lower
ing of the tariffs within the En-
pire, while calling forth an inten-
sification of the tariff war between
British and United States imperial
ism, between United States and the
various Dominions' interests. The
cost of this tariff war will be I'M
loaded on the workers of the coun-
tries involved. The workers of the
British Kingdom and of the Domin-
ions will also be forced to pay the
cost of the preferences agreed upon
1t the Imperial Conference.

FOSTER SHOWS UP
ROOSEVELT AIMS
Like Hoover, Thomas
Against Workers"

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 81. -
William z. Foster, Communist NOM
inee for president, and Roosevelt, the
Democratic Party nominee, spoke
here, in different places, yesterday.
Foster spoke twice, over the radio
for Is minutes, and later in the
evening, at 121 and a half East Town
ST. In both addresses, the Com
munist standard bearer put forward
the program of his party, for unem-
ployment insurance, against wage
cuts, for farmers emergency relief
withut restrictions by government
and banks, equal rights and self
determination for Negroes, an d
against imperialist war and for the
defense of the Soviet Union. He
demanded the payment of the SOL
dierS' bonus.
Roosevelt and Hoover
Foster was enthusiastically ap-
plauded at the indoors meeting when
he pointed out that the Roosevelt
speech and Democratic Party program
were the same as the Republicans
in their refusal to advocate payment
of the veterans bonus. Roosevelt,
Foster said, just like Hoover and
Thomas, supports the present cap
italist system. All three capitalist
parties have the same policy against
the Negroes. RooseYelt's speech
proves that Roosevelt and Hoover
could serve in each others cabinets
without difficulty.
Among the other speakers at Fos-
ter's meeting were Chaefitz, Com
munist candidate for state treasurer,
and Mac Harris, Trade Union Unity
League secretary here.

"It's fine ideal I'll do It'll" said
Uncle Wiggily.
And" went on his wife, "at
night for fireworks, we can have a
thousand lightning bugs fitting
over the trees and bushes. They
will be quite as pretty as skyrocketS
and no one will get hurt"
"Good!' cried the rabbit gentle
man. We'll do it, And maybe
there will be in the sky some shoot
ing stars. They're very pretty"
"This will be a wonderful Fourth
of july" said Mrs. Longears. "You
get the children and Nurse Jane
and I will have the bags ready"
At first Jingle, Jangle, Buster,
Custer and some Of the others said
it would be no fun to celebrate
Fourth of July just bursting paper
bags. But when Baby Bunty had
cracked a few, making loud pops,
and when Buster tried one, all the
others did the same and they had
as much fun as if they had burned
themselves with firecrackers.
But this wasn't all of Uncle Wig
gily's Fourth of July. After many
bags, large and small, had been
burst, the rabbit gentleman set out
lunch of lollypops, ice cream
and cake in front of his bungalow
and you should have seen the bum
nies and all the other animal boys
and girls eat at this party.
In the midst of it, when every
thing was jolly, along came sneak
ing the Fuzzy Fox, hoping to get
Uncle Wiggily. But Sammie Little
TAIL brave rabbit boy that he was,
blew up big bag full of wind,
and suddenly cracked it on the
head of the Fox. At the same time
Jackie Bow Wow, the puppy dog,
filled another bag with water and
he cracked that on the head of the
Bad Chap.
"Oh, WoW!' howled the Fox.
This is a funny Fourth of July.
First I'm shot and then I'm watered
like the garden. I'm going home!"
And away he ran. So Uncle Wig
gily's Fourth of July party went
on to a merry end. There was

UNCLE WIGGILY'S FOURTH
OF JTTTY

Mrs. Longears, the rabbit lady
wife of Uncle Wiggily, walked into
the room where he was eating his
breakfast one morning and said:
"Wiggy, I want to speak to you
about something"
"Oh, dear mel" exclaimed Mr..
Longears, his pink nose suddenly
twinkling. What have I done
now?" And he tried to think of
something that his wife might have
caught him at. But he could think
of nothing.
"Oh, it isn't you'll" said Mrs.
Longears with a laugh. Its the
children want to speak about"
What have they been doing?"
asked Uncle Wiggily, we'll knowing
that among forty leven sixteen
little bunny boys and girls, includ-
ing Baby Bunty, Jingle and Jangle,
many things could happen.
1T isn't what they have done, it
is what they may be going to do"
said the mother rabbit. you know
Fourth Of July is coming, Wiggy,"
she went on, "and the bunny boys
will want to have firecrackers and
torpedos and the girls will want
red fire and skyrockets."
well, yes. That's what generally
happens on Fourth of July said
Uncle Wiggily, twinkling his pink
nose like a Roman candle.
But I don't want it to happen"
said Mrs. Longears. Fourth of
July is wonderful holiday, but it
isn't so wonderful when little bunny
paws get burned or hurt with fire
and fireworks. I know the
children like pretty things and the
boys like noise. But 1 was thinking
that you might help us to have a

crack the bag between your paws.

bit gentleman. Many a time when
was a rabbit, burst a paper bag
near an auto. And you should
have seen how surprised the driver
would be when he thought he had

thing to do" said Mrs. Longears.

make as much noise as if they had

ROOSEVELT AND GARNER

ROOSEVELT and Garner will be the
AZ Democratic candidates in November.
Only forlorn hope opposed Roose-
velt at any time, the New York gover-
nors strength at the outset of the con-
ventlon being such as to make his nom-
lnation practically certain. Garner's
boom, weak sister at best, turned out
as 1t was expected to do. The popular
Texan will get his chance to graduate
into the upper house of congress.
1t is a good ticket, but it cannot be
considered strong one. At this writ
ing none can say what Smith will do
Right now the former governor of New
York is deeply disappointed and hurt.
There is talk that he may oppose the
ticket, but we doubt it. After the first
shock of what has happened is over, it
will not be surprising to see Al play
the game" as he has been taught to play
it, and give at least his good wishes and
some efforts to making the ticket sue
cessful
We say it is not a particularly strong
ticket. Roosevelt, if he remains true to
himself, can be a strong man. His VIC
tory over his own physical handicap
proves that. But he can equivocate and
he does equivocate. Also he hesitates
and this is not good characteristic in
one who is supposed to be a leader
Garner has not shown any great traits
of leadership in his position as speaker
of the house. His work as minority
leader was far more impressive than the
record he has set up since last Decem-
Der. But as a vote getter. he will have
popular appeal and can by no means
be considered detriment to Democra-
cy's hopes.
Against the Hoover-Curtis combina-
ton, the Roosevelt-Garner team does not
appear as strong as some others the
Democrats might have chosen. Repub-
licans who have been somewhat falter-
ing in recent months, obsessed with the
idea that there is no chance for Nov
ember victory, should find plenty to
change their minds in the Democratic
choice.
1t will be a hard fought campaign.
Republican hopes appear brighter now
than they did three months ago. They
should be even brighter three months
hence.
Now we are in for it. Hot air by the
carload for the next four months.
