CALL LEGION
TO DISPERSE
WORKERS MEET


GARDNER, Mass, April 1T.-Over
three hundred workers came to the
bus-stop wednesday at II p. m, to
bid farewell to a group OF eleven
workers leaving for the Soviet Union.
Edward Walsh, member Of the
Young Communist League opened
the farewell bid to these workers by
sending greetings to the Soviet work
ers, and pledging the support of the
workers at the meeting to fight
bosses war and defend the Soviet
Union.
Following a number Of uAsuccess-
full attempts on the part Of the
police to arrest Walsh, the police
sounded the gong for the help OF
large group of the 100 legioneers who
we're deputized last week in Gardner
for the purpose OF terrorizing and
preventing workers from organizing
and fighting bosses war,
The workers put up q marvellous
fight against police terror, Even the
gat that one of the cops pulled out
only aroused a bigger protest. Shout
ing and singing, over 100 workers
followed Walsh to the police station.
He was held because of the late hour
without bail, the charges were:
speaking without a permit, and dis
turbing the peace.

Cops, A. f. of l.. Give Miners Raw Deal

sisted on a premature strike, despite
the fact that they were warned by
the rank and file representatives
that the strike would be a failure.
The Maloney gang used such tactics
as this. The local officers of many
collieries are opposed to the strike
because they are hooked up with the
Boylin machine.
Maloney's pickets called out these
men from the collieries, but they did
not elect a strike committee. The re-
suits are that when they stop pick
citing these same officers call the
men together and vote to go back to
work. Most of the miners do not
even know what they are striking
for. Everything is in confusion, so
guess the results will be the same
as the last two strikes Maloney led.
He is getting famous for failures,
but this will be his last. The miners
will not stand for any more of him.
The capitalist papers here are CIV
ing the miners bad break. Ever
since the strike started they make
1t look as though the miners should
strike. Also, they do not print any,
thing about the terror of the police
and the local Burgesses of the Bor-
oughs visiting the miners homes to
persuade them to go to work.

CUBA.-During the last four days
forty-two workers have been arrested
by butcher Machado's police and
thrown into the Cabana and Prince

hangs over them.
Recently a meeting was being heli

workers were arrested; the same day

Families of Workers Being Arrested.
When the police fails to arrest a
suspected worker the whole family is
arrested. The mother, two sons and
sister in law of a worker the police
was seeking, have been arrested and
tortured to force them to declare
where this worker could be found.

While all sorts Of crimes and perse-

Scranton, Pa.
Daily Worker:
We, the miners in the anthracite
region, are at present getting a very
bad deal. Mallory called a strike
that was not organized. He did not
have the confidence of the majority
OF the miners, Yet, despite this fact,
he called strike, using the unem-
ployed and locked-out miners to
picket and call out the miners who
are working. This action is doomed
to failure, because the state police
will not allow any kind Of picketing.
They beat up miners in Archibald who
we're not even picketing.
These same state police beat UP
miners in Jessup even when they
were on porches Of private homes.
They will not allow us mirers to
have meetings of any kind. The only
difference I can see in Kentucky
and Pennsylvania is the fact that
they did not kidnap any miners or
organizers, but We have the same
police terror.
The majority of the miners here
want to strike, but they want leader
ship and program. The rank and
file committee were organizing to
give the miners leadership and pro-
gram for all miners, both unem-
ployed and employed, but Maloney

ist robber, Governor Meyer Of the
governing bank Of the Omitted States,
the Federal Reserve Board, unWit-
tingly proved that Mellon was lying
in an effort to keep the faith Of the
masses in the dying capitalist system.
Bel11e a Hous Committee, Gov

we are more mature, our growth will
be less rapid with less immigration
and a lower birth rate, and those
violent movements that are cha-ac-
teristic of rapid growth out Of the

more controlled and should lie in the

More than half of the $23S, 100000
advanced to Wall Street has been
given to the banks. The rest of the
money was given to railroads, insur-
ance companies and credit and mort
gage companies.
The futility of the whole scheme
by means of which the government
thought to "revitalize" the railroads
was exposed by the Commercial and
Financial Chronicle, leading Wall
Street organ. nj the April 9th issue,
it states:
"This does not escape attention
on the part of the general public,
which is inclined to magnify such
incidents beyond their due, thereby
creating the impression that the
whole scheme of extending aid to
the carriers is about to fall to
pieces, leaving the carriers once
more in an utterly hopeless pO-
Siti0n.
In the meantime, the banks are
reaping the harvest of the two billion
dollar gift which the Wall Street
government made. They not only
receive direct loans but also force
the railroads, which they control, to
make loans in order to pay back
their debts to the banks.
AT the same time that he defended
the Reconstruction Corporation Act
as an inf1ationary act that would in
very short time show its effect by
wholesale raising of prices and
increase in the cost of living, Meyer
used the "scare" argument of infia-
ton to attack the bonus payment.

The American workers, particularly
those in New York, which have spe-

a cent for the unemployed of Lowell.
The main purpose Of the loan is to

same time Mayor Slowey proposes a
plan to cut out the expenses of the
city bu cutting the wages of the city
employees.
Not a word does he say about
cutting the big salaries of the city

Wage,Cut Affecting Steel

ers' discontentment, that the cut
will be equal to the last one, which
amounted to 10 per cent, the offic-
ials of many steel companies are in
favor of a more drastic cut amount
ing to not less than Is per cent.
Since the cut will be enforced by the
individual companies, it is not ex-
pected to be uniform throughout the
industry, but that only means that
in Some sections it will amount to
more than Is per cent.
The United States Steel Company
in the meanwhile forced an indirect
cut upon all office workers by COM
polling them to take off three days
monthly. This is substantially equi-
valent to a cut of 10 per cent.
Mill workers of the steel corpora
ton and other leading steel compa-
MES were already hit by similar
indirect wage cut, which came on top
of the two direct ones enforced dur
ing last year. A year ago they were

Soviet Industry Reports Gains
During First Quarter of Year

Soviet industries showed a con-
siderable increase in production dur
ing the first quarter of 1882 over the
corresponding quarter of last year."
says a news release of the Amtorg,
Soviet trade organization in America.
Especially is this so in the basic in
dustries on which the first Five
Year Plan laid main stress. So, pig
iron production totaled 1895. 900
metric tons, or 27.5 per cent more
than during the first quarter of 1881.
Steel output amounted to 1,468,000
tons, gain Of 16 per cent. This at
time when the United States steel
industry is operating at % per cent
OF capacity, the lowest in history.
These figures will jump higher soon,
since the giant Magnitogorsk steel
mills in the Urals, which was put
into operation two months ago, has
not yet reached capacity. And at
the kuznetz steel mill the first blast
furnace has been blown in.
Oil showed 10 per cent gain over
1881. The newly-built stain" auto
plant in Moscow produced 1859 2la-
ton trucks in the first quarter, o per
cent more than was called for in the
plan. The Stalingrad Tractor Works
which the capitalists pointed to last
year as an example of Soviet inabil-
ity to operate large factories turned
out lao machines on March 81, four
less than capacity. On April the
plant produced its 5,0OOth tractor.
Also lighter industries, to which the
Soviet Union has not devoted much
time to previously, are shooting
higher. The output Of leather shoes
amounted to 18,116OoO pairs, an av-
erage daily increase Of 14,5 per cert
