Will Reopen Slave
Camps in California

SAN DIEGO, Cal.-Aecording to
the daily papers here, the slave labor
camps will soon be reopened in Cali
fornia. These slave camps force the
workers to cut fire trials, repair water
drains and do road work without pay.
Several years ago, workers were
paid cents an hour and board for
the same work. Gov. Rolph has
boosted about these slave labor
camps and has urged other states to
follow his example.
Since these slave camps were
opened, great many of the ranchers
and bosses have taken Gov. Rolph's
cue and have been getting their work
done in exchange for board only.
Rolph and Hoover, with their slave
camps and wagecutting policy, are
trying to drive the workers down to
coolie standard.
Join the Unemployed Councils.
Demand the abolition of the slave
camps!

PUT OFF TRIAL
OF TWO MINERS
UNIV. Aids Bosses in
Murder Case

EVERETTSVILLE, w. Va, Oct. 16.
-Postponement of the trial of Joe
Orloff and Sam Opeck, militant
miners charged with murder of q
Negro mine guard, has been secured
by Attorney Schullman, representing
the International Labor Defense.
Against the strenuous opposition of
the prosecution attorney, who wanted
an immediate trial, the I. L. D. won
a postponement until Nov. 81.
The prosecutions anxiety to OBJ
tain an immediate trial was based
on its fear CT the mass protest which
is being aroused throughout the
mining field here demanding the re-
lease of Orloff and Ojeck. Mass
meetings are being organized thruout
the entire Pittsburgh, West Virginia
and Eastern Ohio district, and the
workers are in militant mood.
The reactionary leaders of the
United Mine Workers, through its
attorney in Morgantown, joined in
the prosecution of these two miners,
hnd repeatedly through direct eff
Il orts, and through tie local Russian
4briest, tries to force Orloff to make
confession of murder.
An appeal was issued today by the
l. l.. D. for continuation of financial
support for the wife and two children
of Orloff, who were left penniless
and starving with the arrest of their
breadwinners two months ago. Rush
funds Immediately to the National
Office of the International Labor De-
Tense, Room 430, 80 East 18th ST.,

group of farmers collecting relief
for the silk strikers at Athens read
the announcements of the Con-
sumers CO., a Union City, N. j.,
milk company, that it had such
a surplus of milk it could not af-

So they went to the Spencer
plant of this company, to get some
of the extra milk for the strikers.
The local manager of the COM
pany, Wanetta, Immediately stiff
fened, and side-traeked the issue.
The committee brought him back,
and he lodged again. Finally he
flatly refused, on the ground that
the company needs every cent of

Help Marking Butchers.
A shipment of $8560OO of gold from
the Marking Chinese Government
was also received to cover Chinese
purchases of munitions in this coun-
try. The munitions purchased by the
Marking Government are not being
used against the japanese invaders
of China, but against the heroic
struggles of the Chinese worker-peas-
ant masses.
China Red Army Advances.
Hankow, the capital of Hupeh Pro-
vince. is again in the grip of the
iron Red ring which completely sur
rounds it on all sides with the ex-
ception of the approach from the
Yangtze River. On the Hupeh front,
bodies of Marking troops are con-
stantly going over to the Red Army.
The Marking army is unable to cross
the River Han. Railway traffic be-
tween Hankow and Peiping and WI
chang, and Changsha has been dis
rupted by the Red Army, thus pre-
venting the movement of Marking
endorsements to the battle front.
Captured Town of Chi Chong.
In West Fukien Province, the Red
Army is again advancing end has
CAPTURED the town of Chi-Chong.
The rank and file of the Canton
Nineteenth Route Army are still re-
sisting the ATTEMPTS of their officers
to use them for the appropriation Of
the lands of the peasantry. The Of
f1eers have been forced to make a
gesture of disarming the provincial
troops which have constantly preyed
on the peasants.
In Kiangsi, the Red Army of the
Chinese Soviet Republic, with its ca
pital in that province, is advancing
in three main directions in order to
annihilate the white troops of the
Kwangtung army under the command
of Chen Chi Chang. The fourth di-
vision of the Kwangtung army has
been completely wiped out. The
third division, 10000 strong, was de-
feated by a Red Army force of 1000.
Red Army troops have occupied the
town of Luyuen in Anhwei Province
and Hwapu in the Province of Che
kiang. The main strategy of the Red
Army is designed to draw tighter the
iron ring around HankoW.

American and British Imperialism, is

Elected in financial statement issued
by the Anglo-South American Bank
of London. The statement sum-
marizes the relative financial status
of Colombia and Peru, and shows a
tremendous depreciation of the cur
rency of both countries under the
hammer blows of the crisis and the
initiation policies of the bourgeoisie
In spite of the tremendous unem-
ployment and mass suffering, the
governments of both countries have
recently appropriated huge sums for
war purposes, to be secured by loans
floated in the United States and
other imperialist countries.
In the undeclared war between
Bolivia and paraguay, the Paraguayan
forces have definitely gained the up

the Paraguayan forts they had &C.
cupied, and capturing several of the
Bolivian forts in the disputed Gran
Chaea region. Facing defeat ON the

war victims for the compensation
that is justly due them, said Graef
in an interview with the Daily
Worker
1.-THE German veterans and workers
observed closely the fight of the
American war veterans. They fol-
lowed it with keen interest. All thru
out Germany following the Hoover
troop attack against the bonus
marchers, protest meetings were held
and cablegrams of protest were sent
to Hoover denouneing the bloody at
tack and declaring solidarity with the
bonus marchers.
Led Vets Fight.

MOSCOW, Oct. Is. Yesterday
marked the fifth anniversary of the

Central Committee of the U. S. S. r
introducing the seven hour working
day in the country of the proletarian
dictatorship.
While in the capitalist countries the
tendency is increasingly toward the
maximum exploitation of the work.

ing day, stretch out systems, reduc-
ton of wages, spreading of the eff
fects Of unemployment through job
rationing, etc, in the Soviet Union
there Is a constant improvement in
the material and living conditions of
the workers, bringing with it a re-
duction in the working day.
The introduction Of the seven
hour day in the u. S. S. n. was
accompanied by a further raise in
wages, by new construction of
model dwellings for the workers,
etc. While in the u. S. in the few
cases when the five day week has
been instituted, it has been accom-
panied with drastic wage cuts for
the workers involved.
BY the beginning of the current
year 1854 per cent of all workers in
heavy industry were transferred to
the seven hour working day. BY the
second half of 1882, various leading
branches Of industry were trans
ferred to the seven-hour day, in
GLIDING the ferrous metallurgy, basic
chemistry. eleetrotechnical and rub
Der industries. About 81 per cent of
the workers in the light industries
already have the seven hour working
day. Ninety-six and three per cent of
the workers in the railway repair
shops have also been transfrred to
the new working day. It's extension
to other categories is rapidly pro-
ceeding.

STOP RELIEF TO
MINE STRIKERS
Threat to March Gets
Promise of Flour

JOIINSTOWN, Pa, Oct. 16.-A
week ago the 450 Bernizer mine
strikers endorsed the National Miners
Union at their strike meeting. Since
then the N. M. U. has begun pre-
parations for a conference of rep
resentatives of all the mines of this
company, Graft Coal Co., to strike
about 1000 miners against the gen
eral wage cut.
There are 200 to 300 on the mass
picket every day at Bernizer mine.
While these men were at work,
their wages were so low they got
government flour as relief. Since the
strike, the company has got the Red
Cross and other agencies to cut off
the flour to starve them back to
work. A threat of the miners to
march in a body to the relief station
and demand flour has brought a
promise of the authorities to resume
relief.

new WAGE CUT
IN ILL. MINES
New 10 Percent Slash
for NOn-Strikers

HARRISBURG, H., Oct 16.-The
United Mine Workers officials and
the operators have put over a new
ten per cent wage cut on miners in
Saline county, in addition to the cut
from 500 to SIS which they enforced
here two months ago.
Saline is in the very southern part
OF the state The miners here yielded
to terror, and did not strike when
the rest Of the state went out. Their
reward came shortly. A new wage
level OF $3.50 was established for the
5000 hand leaders in Saline county
in the O'Gara and WATSON mines.
The promise that more miners could
be taken on, was simply broken.
Communist to Speak
Browder, Communist Party
candidate for U. S. senator will speak
IN Harrisburg, 7.3O p. m. at the city
hall. This is the county seat of
Saline County. He will outline the
proposals of the Communist PARTY
that the miners should elect their
strike committees in every mine. and
IN defiance of both United Mine
Workers and Progressive Miners of
America officials, strike against all
wage cuts. The P M. A. officials
have accepted the cut to IS and their
members are in line for the new cuts
coming up, unless they fight on
against the first cut.
