Ohio Miners
BY BURCK

THE Today strike of 1000 miners
of the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal
Co. a mines) has been sold out by
Pat Pagan, president of District
of the United Mine Workers of
America.
"The agreement doesn't run out
till July LIST" Pagan told the U. M.
w. A. miners locals in the strike
You must go back to work under
that agreement till July (18 days..
If I don't have new agreement
then, I'll call you out again."
Pagan began his assault on the
local where the National Miners
Union membership was weakest, at
No. 3 Mine, and when it was voted
to accept his proposition he carried
it to the next weakest local. When
he reached the strong Camp, No. 8,
he could tell the men that the
other camps had accepted and they
would be isolated if they didn't go
back to work
Run1or has it that the men are
being sent back to the mines to
clean them up and put them in
shape for long shutdown. Only
No. 8 is to be operated, so the
story goes, producing wash coal.
Tried to Starve Workers At First.
When the strike first started,
Pagan dared not even come near
the camps. He set about breaking
it by direct dickering with the
company. AS the strike progressed,
the president of one local tried to
persuade the county relief agent
to cut off all relief to the strikers,
but the relief agent refused, say
ing that if they cut off all relief
the men would be forced back at a
wage-cut and the county would be
feeding every family in the mines,
instead of IS per cent of them, as
at present.
Church Strikebreaking.
Father" Cox, Pittsburgh's cham
pion deceiver of the working class
and the unemployed, told the men
to go back into the mines at a
wage-cut They could earn "lit-
tle," he told them, and he and the
county would give them enough to
exc out an existence. The men re-
fused at first to fall for Cox's bait.
Conditions almost unbelievable
exist in the mine camps. While
the men are working under Fagans
scab agreement with the Pitts
burgh Terminal, three quarters of
the families must get relief from
the county. Two and occasionally
three days a week is the limit of
work According to the men, the
time they work in the mine barely
covers the items checked off in
the pay slip. Union dues of rs
cents each two weeks, rent of the
company house, bath house charge,
doctor fee, company insurance,
blacksmith, powder and check
weighman, take all the men can
earn. The county welfare feeds the
families.
I'VE work for the company long
enough to pay Pagan and the COM
pany what we owe Them" said
miner. Then the country gives us
relief to live on. County relief is
$3.50 per week for a family Of five;
SO for a family of three. When
bags of government flour CA lbs.
to the bag were distributed, the
county checked off so cents on each
family. Single men get no relief
from the county"
In spite of a (U.M.W.) union
"checkweighman" the men got
short weight on every car sent out
under Fagan's agreement. They
claim a loss of one third on every
car, plus shortage of 400 pounds
checked off for dirt" Besides, If
a man really sends out dirty coal,
he is fired.

against the 1mperlallSt world.
However, alongside of enthusi-
astic opinion, one finds businesslike
and sober appraisals of facts the
way they were found. The critical
approach was evident. Compare
sons were made of industrial equip
ment here and abroad. A member
OF the French delegation questioned
the difference in the pace of de-
velopment between town and coun-
try. Another member of the same
delegation thus answered it:
"The working class, which is
the ruling class, does not carry on
the functions of government for
its own narrow interests. The
workers are improving the con-
ditions of all toilers. The U. S.
S. r. is the example of it. Col
lectivizatiOn and INFLAMMATION
of agriculture have increased the
quality of output and the earning
power of the producers. Where a
man was formerly toiling IA to is
hours, now a tireless tractor is
working three shifts. This not
only increases the income of the
peasant-it gives him more leis-
ure for cultural development"
THE growth of education, the in
crease in number of village clubs,
transform the peasant from for
lorn creature into a new man.
American Speaks.
"a member of the American dele
cation, miner from Pennsylvania,
writes for his wallpaper:
"The Soviet workers do not
have to worry about working
clothes and lamps, like we have
to. They receive these from the
mine administration. The general
conditions of the Soviet miners
is far superior, compared to ours.
They have the most modern
safety devices. Wash rooms and
and rest rooms are better and
cleaner than ours. Medical treat
ment and first aid stations arc
not scattered like in the United
States, where a worker must walk
at times for miles in search of
treatment"
But the same worker remarks:
THE work performed by three
Soviet miners is being performed
by one American miner"
To Tell Facts.
OF the numerous answers sent
in by the members of the delega-
tons, we will quote only that of
the American delegates.
upon our return to the United
States we will develop a tireless
campaign to tell the truth about
the Soviet Union to American
workers. We will Immediately de-
velop a mobilization for move
ment among the masses of workers
for the defense of the Soviet Union.
We will do all in our power to or
ganize interference with deliveries
of war material to countries plot
ting war OF intervention against
the Soviet Union. We will do all
in our power to influence public
opinion in the United States for
the recognition of the Soviet
Union"

What are the most vital problems
W confronting the Negro people
in this election campaign, and
what is the Communist Party do
ing in the struggles of the Negro
masses?
FIRST: There is the question of
unemployment in which Negroes
are affected to much higher de-
gree than white workers. Conserv-
alive estimates place the Negro
unemployed in industrial centers as
high as three-quarters of the total
Negro population. Negroes are af-
fected greatly in relation to relief.
The ruling class in almost COM
plete disregard of the terrible suf-
fering of the unemployed, deny any
relief, and when the pennies are
handed out, the Negro jobless are
greatly Disseminated against.
The Communist Party is the on
" party fighting for the basic
needs of both Negro and white
workers in the case of unemploy-
ment, and the central one of the
six major demands in the Commu-
mist platform is Unemployment
and Social Insurance at the Ex-
pense of the State and Employ
ers."
SECOND: When the Communist
Party speaks of equal rights for
the Negroes, we mean unconditional
economic, political and social
equality. We struggle against jim
crow barriers in whatever field
they exist. To the Communist
Party this is fundamental de-
mand of major Importance which
will break down the walls set up
by the ruling class to keep the
workers, black and white, separat-
ed and divided.
But in the South, there can be
no talk of equal rights without the
question of determination.
This question is, today, a vital
problem for the Negro people. The
right of determination means
the struggle to win the right of
the Negro people, constituting the
majority of the population in the
Black Belt, to govern that terri
tory.
Exactly what is meant by the
Black Belt in the sense that we
speak of it? There is a great
stretch of land in the South, COW
ering a number of states which
official boundary lines tend to hide.
In this large contiguous territory,
the majority of the population is
Negro These boundaries are ar
bitrarily fixed by the white rulers
In their own interests. Now this
land is the monopoly of a small
clique of white landlords. The
enormous majority of Negro and
white farmers are landless.
What Do We Mean BY Self Determ-
nation in the Black Belt?
IT MEANS the right for the over
whelming majority of the popu-
lation in the Black Belt, the Negro
people, to determine for themselves
whatever form Of government they
want, even to the point of separa-
ton, if the majority so wills it.
1t means struggle against
white ruling class domination.
1t means struggle for the con-
fiscation of the land of the big
white landowners and capitalists
in the Black Belt.
1t means struggle against OPP
pressive taxation and debt slavery.
1t means the breaking of the
power of armed might used against
the Negroes by the white police,
white soldiers, white sheriffs, and
their courts of law.
1t means the complete With
drawal from that territory OF the

"PRAVDA" WRITES ON
WORKER DELEGATIONS
What They SaeU During Recent Visit;
Some Interesting Contrasts

HEADED Guests of the Soviet
IA Union" Pravda, official organ
of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union, in a recent issue de-
scribes the impressions and conclu-
sions of the worker delegates from
the United States and various Eu-
ropean countries who visited the
U.S.SR. recently.
1.-THE delegates" says the Pravda,
spent four weeks travelling over the
country. These delegations, COM
posed mostly of non-Party workers
or of members of ocial-democrati
parties and unions, visited during
that period the largest undertake
ings, including Dneiprostroy and
the state and collective farms"
The article continues: "They Wis

Wherever the delegations went, in
railway carriages, in street cars, in
hotels, there was an ever-present
and heated discussion and ex-
change Of impressions. These inn
pressions and opinions found their
expression in the Wallpapers edited
by the delegations.
There was no wide emergency Of
opinion between various groups and
delegations in the appraisal of the
facts which came to their atten-
ton. All were in agreement that

Question of Normal Relations.
Litvinoff emphasized that restora-
ton of diplomatic relations is entire
ly a normal act hardly requiring ex-
PLANTATION. What requires explana-
ton, he stated, is the rupture of re-
lations between nations. He pointed
out such rupture disturbed normal
international life and menaced peace.
The policy of the U. s. S. r. dictates
the establishment and maintenance
of normal relations with all states
Hardly any country which has re-
sorted to rupture of relations as a
means of regulating international
questions is able to boast Of success
in the solution of controversial
questions with the U. S. S. r. Lit
vinoff further emphasized that the
present critical Far Eastern situation
was in no small degree due to the
fact that normal relations are not
being maintained by all states in the
Pacific
Litvinoff pointed out that the Sow
let government has repeatedly DEM
onstrated its friendship towards Chi
ma. The Soviet Union was the only
state which freed China from I'M
equal treaties, extra territoriality
and other rights and privileges
Wrested by tsarist imperialism from
China. The Soviet government con-
verted the railway concession OBJ
tanned by tsarist government on
Chinese territory into commercial
enterprise under the joint manage
ment Of the U. S. S. r. and China.
The Soviet government has con-
sistently proved it was guided by I'M
selfish friendly sentiments when es-
tabhs.ling relations with the Chinese
Republic in 1924 Today's restora-
ton of relations is dictated by the
same sentiments.
In conclusion. Lityinoff pointed
out that only the policy of the U.
S. s. r. which is free from all Sc
cret political combinations pro-
notes a real consolidation Of uni
versal peace.
