MINE LOCKOUT
FOLLOWS CUT
Girard Miners Get 95
Cent Slash
GIRARD, Kan.


Dear Comrades:
The miners here were preparing for
strike. They have been getting
$1.01 a ton, and on July 1 got cut to
rs cents. The company heard about
1t and shut down. The U. M. w. A.
made a contract for the same wages
for five years and the company
broke it.
People here have nothing to put
in their mouths and the company
will open up in five or six months at
the 76-cent scale.
The mine always has wage-cuts
for us but never cuts the cost of
mining explosives. With the new
scale, people will be hungry even if
they work. They will make just
enough for explosives and union
check-off.
Comradely,
A Miner.

Losing Homes

Not only starvation, but the work.
ers are losing their homes at the
rate OF 1900 per month through fore
closures and sheriff sales.
Because the Unemployed Council
committees put up stiff fights against
cvictions, the socialist Sheriff Benson
either evicts workers at midnight OF
waits till the workers leave the house,
then he gets his deputies and other
henchmen to take the workers fur
niture away. The socialists do this
because they know that the Unenl-
rloyed Council will be there with
hundreds of workers and will see that
the workers will not be evicted.
The above proves once more the
role played by the socialist party in
the class struggle, and that is always
defending the capitalists and their
government, and against the workers,
helping the bosses to shift the burden
of the present crisis Onto the Shout
ders of the starving unemployed and
part-time workers.
The unemployed councils are mo-
bilizing the thousands OF Jobless
workers in Milwaukee to expose this
shameful betrayal of the working
class by the socialist nlisleaders
Only few days ago two new I'M
employed neighborhood committees
were organized in the Negro district
and, on going to the relief stations to
fight for the starving workers, they
militantly resist the reduction OF re-
lief, demanding more and better
quality of relief, as well as fighting
back against the forced labor just
inaugurated in Milwaukee, with the
leading role played by the Socialist
Party, the third party Of the bosses

the county will give relief to the
amount of 4 cents per day, or a total
of $1o4 for hours work, or 10 cents
per hour. This is the worst kind Of
forced labor in socialist Milwaukee.
Even out of this $1o4 per day the
workers will be robbed by half or
more, and as a result the jobless will
be forced to work for couple Of
dollars per week.

LABOR OPENS FIGHT
TO BEAT W|LKERSON
Counsel for Railway Group
Charges 'Partisanship and
Antagonism to Unions"

By the Associated Press.
A protest against confirmation Of
James H. Wilkerson of Chicago as cir
cult judge on the grounds of blind
partLanship and antagonism to labor
unions" was filed with Senate Judici-
ary Subcommittee today by organized
labor.
Wilkerson's nomination was opposed
by Donald r. Richberg, counsel for the
Railway Labor Executives Association
Richberg filed four arguments against
confirmation. They contended that:
As practicing lawyer he was very
active in prosecuting injunction suits
against labor organizations and played
prominent part in Illinois in limit
ing and destroying through iudge-made
law, the rights of labor to organize :"
Exhibited Bias.
That as United States district Judge
he exhibited lin case after case a bias
and prejudice against labor organiza-
tions inconsistent with judicial fair
ness
That "in his blind partisanship and
antagonism to labor unions Judge Will
kerson has not followed the law as laid
down by the Supreme Court"
That WilkerSon "iS an avowed parti-
san Of those legal doctrines which give
employers and overwhelming advantage
over employees In industrial controver-
sizes"
To elevate a judge holding such
views to higher authority is to aid in
nulllfying the thirteenth amendment" :"
Richberg said
To support his charge that Wilker-
son had not followed law laid by the
Supreme Court, but has attempted to
write new law" Richberg cited the
"Daugherty injunction case" of 1922.
Violated Clayton Act.
He contended Wilkerson had then
attempted to enjoin the legitimate ac-
tlv1tleS OF labor unions in carving on
lawful strike and he violated the
express prohibitions of the Clayton act"
He set aside the constitutional guar
antees OF liberty of contract and free
speech" Richberg said.

Japan's proposal for demilitarization
of the principal Chinese ports was held
tightly today in diplomatic channels
somewhere between Washington and
the Toxic foreign office.
Neither the Japanese embassy nor
the American Government had officially
received it, but the attitude OF the
latter was clearly opposed to such
step.
This Government looks upon the
establishment of neutral zones, as sug-
gested by Japan, as bringing up again
the partition of China which has been
denounced in the past by Japan, the
United States and Great Britain.
Word came from Shanghai from Ad-
miral Taylor the commander in chies
of the Asiatic Fleet, that there were
100 900 Chinese troops in the Shanghai
Nanking >area under the command OF
Gen. Tsai Ting Kai.
Japanese Assembling Army.
A Japanese Army, Taylor reported.
rapidly is being assembled at Shanghai,
and approximately $500 troops have
already landed Others are preparing
to disembark from Japanese transports
now lying off Woosung.
Ambassador Debuchi of Japan called
at the State Department late yesterday
and said after his visit he has not re-
ceived instructions to broach the neutral
zone proposal.
The abrogation Of the nine-power
treaty, definitely suggested by spokes-
man of the Japanese foreign Office as
the first step in neutraliZing areas
about China's ports and settling the
Manchurian situation as an independ-
ent issue, Is unthinkable to signatory
powers.
In fact there is a tendency in official
circles to regard the proposal as an
effort to bring further peace sugges-
tions from the United States and the
three powers which co-operated on the
original peace plan.
DR.. Hawking Yen, counselor Of the
Chinese legation. said demilitarization
of zones about China's cities would be
nothing less than dismemberment of
China.
Says China Would Never Agree.
II can scarcely believe such a pro-
posal will be made by Japan to other
powers" he added. 1T would scrap
all the treaties made in more than 80
years, and, of course, China would never
agree to such an arrangement" he
said.
As so interpreted, the suggestion IS in
violation of Japan's note sent in No
vember, 1881, to the State Department,
which said:
THE japanese government remains
unchanged in their stand against the
partition of China"
However the Toxic spokesman pre-
pared the way for a reversal of this
policy by saying the nine-power treaty
was based on the theory that China

WOMAN'S BODY FOUND
IN LONG BEACH SURF
Pocketbook Carried Card Made
Out in Name of Mrs.
Adelaide Seick.

BY the Associated Press.
LONG BEACH. N. y, February O.
The body of an extensively dressed
woman. apparently in her early thirties,
was found in the surf today not far
from the place where Starr Faithfuls
body was discovered last year. In her
pocketbook was a membership card to
the Bronxville Woman's Club, made
out to Mrs. Adelaide Seick, Bronxville.
Two men spearing eels at ebb tide
came upon the body and notified po-
lice. First examination indicated the
body had been in the water about two
days. No signs Of violence were dis
cernible.
The body was taken to the undertak-
ing establishment in Rockville Centre,
where the body of Starr Faithful was
taken. Miss Faithfurs body was found
here last June and for months officials
continued their investigations in an
effort to determine definitely whether
death was due to suicide, accident or
murder.
