Warn Anthracite
Miners Against
Maloney SellOut
Picketing Has Almost
Been Stopped

SCRANTON, Pa, March 23.-For
the third time, Maloney and Shuster,
United Mine Workers of America
leadership of the General Grievance
bodies, heading the strike of the an
thracite coal miners in this district,
are preparing betrayal of the strike.
Due to mass pressure of the men, the
Maloney Shuster leadership was
forced to call an outlaw strike,
which the men have been carrying on
militantly, despite all efforts of Gov
ernor Pinchots state troopers, the
UMWA officials along with the Ma
loney- Shuster district leadership to
crush it.
Maloney has already made 1t known
he would be willing to negotiate peace
if Boylan and Lewis SO desire. AS a
result, picketing has almost ceased
and a number of locals are returning
to work.
In number of collieries the best
fighting miners have been black
listed. The Rank and File Commit
tee issued an appeal for mass re-
sistance against police terror and
warning the miners to be prepared
against a betrayal by Maloney and
Shuster.
Locals are sending committees to
the General Grievance bodies expos
ing their action and to win all the
miners for the rank and file program
of struggle.

Conditions in the suburban

also reports counties with much

Los ANGELES, Calf, March 22.
Judge Charles d. Wallace granted
the motion to dismiss the case of
the As workers in Long Beach,
charged with unlawful assembly,
and. removed the case from the cal
endar, releasing all bail.
The jury, after a stormy thirty
hour session of weighing the evil
dence, filed into the court room
shortly after three o'clock in the
afternoon and reported hopeless
deadlock. Six were for acquittal
and six for verdict of guilty.
The foreman of the jury reported
that vote had been taken on the
proposal to find the "ringleaders"
guilty and acquit the other work
ers.
Seven of the jurors voted for and
five againsts the proposal and it
was impossible to reach an accord,
:. said the foreman. At this point,
Leo Gallagher, the workers lawyer,
made a motion to dismiss the case,
which. in face OF the jury's report,
the judge had to grant.
Prosecutor Charles DeYrles, re-
aii1ing he had no case, did not con-
test the motion.
Thirteen workers, however, are
still TO be held by the federal Off
Gals on deportation charges.
Fhe actual trial has lasted over
fire weeks, during which the vari-
GUS witnesses for the workers, espe-
cialiy Sam Darcy, editor of the
Western Worker, exposed the star
yation and exploitation Of workers
tn the United States, comparing
their miserable standard of living
with the splendid achievements of

In the opinion of many as

without any theory of the evolu-
ton of the stars. Nor do we
know how the galaXies of stars
came to exist.
The red shift in the spectra of
external galaxies is an observed
fact. The expanding universe is
an hypothesis arising from this
shift, but recession of the galax-
les is but one Interpretation of
the red shift.
Perhaps one OF the most i'm
portant observational contribu-
tions in the realm of cosmology
in recent years has been the
demonstration of the existence of
cosmic meteors.
The fact that interstellar space
is travelled by particles of solid
matter, which must be fragments
OF larger bodies in a liquid or
solid state, argues for an older
and more experienced universe
than is indicated by the current

of the 25 rescue toilers existed
when it appeared deadly gas
fumes might accumulate.
Other reScuerS, however, came

Shafer based his hope that the

the fact that the explosions Satur-
day occurred in the south

unbound, the mine owner said,
may have rushed into the extreme
north room of the entry to
