From the Pineville County Jail
BY VERN SMITH

PINEVILLE, Ky, (hy maiD
Van Reber and prosecutor Walter
Smith, agents of the coal barons,
tried to spring surprise hearing on
the ten defendants, National Miners
Union, International Labor Defender
and the Workers International Re-
lief members, and labor press repre-
sentatives arrested here in an attack
on the Kentucky miners.
The case has settled down to a
battle between the miners for the
right to a public hearing In which
the arrested men and women will
have a chance to answer some of the
lies circulated about the union. Par
ticularly the operators circulate a
swarm OF leaflets accusing the NM.
U. of engaging in a plot to overthrow
the U. S. government and to destroy
religion. They persistently circulate
the falsehood that only COMMUNISTS
can join the NMU.
They know that if the defendants
get the stand they will point out that
the N.M.U. is engaged In strike
against starvation and terror, that
neither religion nor individuals and
politics are questions affecting mem
bership in the N.M.U. Nor are religion
or an attempt to overthrow the gov
eminent issues in the strike, although
the Kentucky miners are rapidly dis
covering that this is a capitalist gov
eminent, supporting the operators.
On Jan. 5, 6 and 7, dates for which
the hearing was set, there we're too
many miners in town to please the
operators, and the hearing was post
poned. On Jan. the hearing was
set for Jan. 9, but on Jan. 5 when
there were no miners around in Pine
vile, all the defendants were sud-
denly called to court. Those who re-
fused to go were told it was only for
consultation, with the attorneys,

neys Taylor g. Stone, both of Pine

it is question of feeding the unem-

task the clubbing of unemployed
workers and keep them starving.
When the elected delegation
wanted to go in to Publ cSchool 81
to voice the demands of the hum

so, made the brutal attack. Many

The injunction itself sets a prece-
dent. 1t forbids all picketing. and
attempts to forbid the strike Of all
the workers who are out, There has
been no violence in the strike and
the bosses cannot charge this against
the workers. Nevertheless, they are
preparing to put the injunction over.
The strikers have been out now for
six weeks.
Despite the injunction, prominent
member of the bosses association,
Garsky & Averbach, with stores at
3472 Jerome Ave-, and 1879 Southern
Blvd, were forced to settle With the
union yesterday, granting all demands
of the union and severing with the

date unemployment relief.
The statement reads:
''Workersl This is the capitalist
government of New York! James j.
Walker has demonstrated that he is
carrying out the decisions Of the
WGll Street bankers. In the midst
Of the worst suffering and starvation
that this city and country have ever
faced, the bankers Of New York have
decided that the unemployed workers
shall GO hungry, that no relief will be
issued.
What about the tremendous sal
aries that Jimmy Walker, Mckee, and
the borough presidents are getting
ana which they raised last year?
What about the tens of raiIliens of
graft that are being put into the
packets of Jimmy Walkers Tammany
hsnehmen?
Walker thinks he can get away
with it by saying that eve are res
ponsible to the people who elected
us and we must either carry out their
wishes or sit here and be told by
outside sources what we can do or
cannot do"
These so-called outside sources"
are the bankers who control the city
of New York!
The people of New York do not
want to starve-but Walker does not
give a damn about them! The people
of New York do not want to be
denied workout Walker tells them
to go to he'll!
Workers! Is this not full proof of
what the Communists have said:
the government of the city of New
York and of the United States Is a
bankers, a bosses government. Are
we going to stand for these "eutside
sources" debating that we shall die
of hunger?
Workers. Fight for the following
demands:
1. No payment of the public debt
service. This amounts to S196,0O0,0O0

4. Demand immediate eonfiscatien
of the property of all grafters in the
city government and their presecu-

5. Demand immediate appropria-
tons for building schools, workers
