'and steel operators to crush the
steel and coal strike through united
forces of NRA, Governor Pinchot,
UNLWA top officials, AA leaders.
Plans for bloody attacks on Green's
burg, Clarion, Weirton and to other
steel centers are being made.
At pm. today, 10000 Fayette
County striking miners expected at
mass meeting at Searight, five miles
northeast of Uniontown. Every
UMWA official in this territory will
be present, together with insurgent
leaders.
While plans for the meeting were
drawn up, Philip Murray, UMWA
henchman, insurgent leaders Martin
F. Ryan, Steve Petronie, w. r.
Minerd. h1ye invited miners to be
present.
Opinion of Ryan, outstanding in
surgent leader, about sending miners
back to work under guise of make
union recognition by so-called captive
mine owners, can be CLEANED from
the following statement he made yes
terday:
If we go back to work, it will be
rSeA the understanding that oper-
ators all must sign. If they don't,
we'll back out in two weeks, and that
time we'll stay out until were sure"
This is shifty way of advising
miners again to test the promises of
Roosevelt and the U. S. Steel Corpor-
alton.
"To Hell With IT.
ITO hell with it," that was the
comment of one of the rank and file
leaders in the Uniontown strike, who
did not attend the Moose Hall meet
ing when informed of President
Rooseyelts appeal to the miners.
Instead Of returning, miners late
last night doubled preparations to
strengthen their picket lines, to bring
out every man, woman and child able
to stand on their feet.
Over $4,000 in the Uniontown Dis
trict were on picket lines yesterday.
More were out this morning.
Government Threat
To-day you are fighting coal COM
panies," warned Murray at Moose
Hall here yesterday, to which large
group of insurgent leaders came,
But tonight if you remain on strike.
you will be fighting the Government
of the United States. Today you are
conducting strike; tonight you will
be conducting a rebellion.
Nor did this terrify the miners.
why must $4,000 men obey the
request of the President, instead Of
one man obeying?" shouted some of
the local leaders.
why doesn't the President order
Moses to sign?' they asked, even
after Murray read Moses letter in
terpreted by General johnson as re-
cognition of the UMWA. Moses is
president of the H G. Prick Co., a
subsidiary of the U. S. Steel Corpora
ton.
I'VE have pledge of General john
son and pledge Of President Roose-
welt. what more do you want?" shot
back Pagan, do you ask the word
Of God?"
we WOIlU &c pdCk uIllll TIlCA
signs" shouted Stephen Petronie. of
Footedale Local
Miners Unchanged
The Uniontown correspondent OF
the Pittsburgh Post Gazette writes:
Picket leaders at Nedenborn, Maine,
of H. c. Prick Coke Co., shown news
paper reports of the NRA admins
traitors order, were unchanged in Xheir
defiant attitude Nor were they in
terested in the report that the Prick
Company had agreed to mainain
working conditions, wages hours, as
agreed upon Gin the codc1 by COM
mercial mines"
