FIGHT WAGE CUT
AT PITTSBURGH
TERMINAL MINES
United Front of Men
Being Formed

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 9.-The
fight of the Pittsburgh Terminal
miners against the 10 per cent wage
cut and check-off, for the recogri-
ton Of Mine Committee, checkweigh-
men, delivery of supplies and reem-
ployrnent of blacklisted miners will
be continued and intensified by the
United Front Rank and File Com
mittee elected by the miners, under
the guidance of the National Miners
Union.
On February LIST, as the wage cut
went into effect, the entire strike
breaking machine of the Pittsburgh
Terminal Coal Co. was set in motion.
Carloads of Pinchot's state police,
carloads Of deputy sheriffs, and
scores of UM.WA. agents were busy
intimidating miners in order to pre-
vent the strike, against wage cuts.
These armed breaking forces
succeeded only to postpone the strike
for the time being. The United
Front Rank and File Committee will
intensity its work inside the U. M.
w. A. in order to expose the wage
cutting and strike breaking roll Of
the U.MW,A. and to mobilize all the
miners and their families for strug-
gle for the demands of the United
Front Rank and File Committee, de-
mands that were voted upon by the
miners at their mass meetings.
Great numbers of the miners en-
ployed by the Pittsburgh Terminal
Coal Co., are working and at the
same time asking for relief of various
charity organizations. United Front
Rank and File Committees will re-
suit in a strike against the 10 per
cent wage cut OF the Pittsburgh Ter
nlinal Coal Co.

American imperialism against the
Soviet Union-the rushing Of troops
naval vessels, munitions and heavy
guns to the far east anti-Soviet war
base-Gibbons in a short speech
trotted out before the conference,
amid wild shouts Of joy from the
capitalist press, nine points, every
one of which is directly contraposed
to the real plans and actions Of the
Wall Street government.
Gibson said in point /: THE Amer
lean government advocates consider
alton Of the draft convention as con-
tanning the outlines for convenient
basis for discussion, while expressing
its entire willingness to give full con-
sideration TO any supplementary pro-
possls calculated to advance the end
we all seek"
Frederick H. Payne, assistant Sec
rotary of War, pointed out clearly the
end sought by U. S. imperialism only
a few days ago when he said that the
War Department had COLLECTED and
classified data on 1900 industrial
plants thta could be used to make
munitions in an emergency"
Point suggests prolonging the ex-
isting naval agreements. A worker,
however, from Washington, D. G.
points out in a letter to the Daily
Worker how these naval agreements
are circumvented. The letter states
Prom authoritative sources learn
that all ship owners have been told
to stand by and all naval leaves can
celled."
MIR. Gibson, in face of these few
eriSh naval preparations, Sypocriti-
cally suggests in poin a further re-
duction in naval ornaments, and in
point 4 "the total abolition Of sub
marines"I Yet the submarine f1otil-
las in the United States Navy are
being built up to unprecedented
strength.
Point calls for effective meas
ures to protect civilian populations

plosiyes for aerial bombs.

Rail Jobs and Wages
Show Decline During
Month of November

According to report Just issued by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
there was decline of 56,192 rail Jobs
during the month of November as
compared with October, and with a
corresponding loss in wages to work
ers amounting to SIS, $50. More
over, besides less workers being en-
ployed, those having jobs worked 49,
456 less hours than in the proceeding
month.
Reports for December and January
which have appeared in the capitalist
press indicate worsening of conditions
for rail workers.
And now with the recent wage cut
of ten per cent affecting all rail work
ers, the bosses have shown that for
them nothing is too sacred for profits.
Not even the "aristocracy of labor"

contradiction to the policy Of the q.
S. government, which Is at present
concentrating special efforts on its
chemical warfare units. An authen-
tic report has been received by The
Daily Worker that the ManhnEtzn
Raybeston Rubber Co. in New yer-
sey has just completed a government
order for 1900 gas masks
Although it is common knowledge
that masses of heavy offensive guns,
tanks, etc. have been rushed to the
far eastern war zone. Mr.. Gibson
babbles in his nine points about
America standing for special restric-
lions on ornaments Of this character.
Admitting that the crisis Of capi~
talism had thrown the irnperiaIist
world into a state Of turmoil, that
the big owners were all suffering
from unsettled budgets and govern
mental instability, but failing TO men
ton that the Soviet Union had no
budgetary and economic crisis, Glib
son closed his speech by calling for
friendly good will' and "coopera-
ton" among the iinperialist powers.
Not one word can be found In the
speech Of the American delegate
about the war in China, no proposals
TO withdraw the American gunboats
from the Yangste where q. S. Mar
ines and sailors are manueverins
against the advancing Chinese Red
Army, no protests about the seizure

only hypocriticsl phrase nongering
about disarmament to cover m
American imperialismS agreement
with Japan on the invasion OF Man
churia and to gloss over the war pre-
parations against the U. S. S. r.
Mr., Gibson's speech is a pink fairy
tale, the purpose of which is to IuI
the minds of the American masses
to sleep in face Of actual war: Vt is
an integral part Of the U. S. war and

 las Chamber of Commerce at their regular meeting last night. The visitors were called upon for talks and each spoke briefly on different phases of child-welfare work.
