1000 Avella Miners
in 18th Week of Strike

bread for the striking miners and
their families.
Mine in Fayette Strikes
The miners of the Republic Mine in
Fayette County joined the strike Fri
day and closed down the mine 100 per
cent. A mass picket line succeeded in
stopping the strikebreakers who were
shipped in TO operate the mine and
prevented the mine foreman and
guard from further attacks on the
picketS and the miners wives. State
police cooperating with the Republic
Steel and Iron Co. arrested three
women who are showing the same
courageous and militant spirit in this
struggle as in the past.
The Monaco mine in Denwood
Ohio joined the strike this week.
Local demands we're adopted by the
strikers. The company took up the
miners demands with the strikers
negotiation committee and offered
them a checkweighman elected by the
men and scale of "a cents per ton.
The miners refused this offer and will
continue TO strike for their demand Of
Is cents per ton.
Why They Want Borich Out
That the bosses are seeking govern
ment aid in Gripping or breaking the
strike is evident in the speed with
which the Roosevelt administration is
now trying to push the deportation Of
Borich and other militant miners
leaders. Judge Gibson in the U. S.
District Court upheld the Department
of Labor decision to deport Borich
last week and has ordered him to
surrender pending a decision on the
transfer of his bond.
Must Have Relief
Reports from the National Miners
Union show that the workers or
CARNATIONS have not responded to the
urgent appeals to strengthen the
miners fight with funds or relief. The
Union calls upon the workers to mob
ilize in support of this struggle and
take up Immediately the vital ques-
ton of relief upon which the sue
cessful termination of the strikes
depend. Rush funds at once to the
office of the Miners Relief Commit

ment, in the meantime, issued hcen-
ses permitting slight gold exports.
Formal announcement of the Satur-
day decision was made for the first
time today. The government, in the
meantime, issued licenses permitting
slight gold exports. These were
quickly withdrawn when the gold
shipments were of no avail in halting
the decline Of the dollar.
Prices Rise.
Since the declaration Of the bank
moratorium, commodity prices have
been rising. In the last few days
they have been advancing at a few
erish rate. Cotton was up about 50
bale. Sugar showed a further adj
vance Of to 2 points, and rubber
advanced from IA to "a points. Wheat
continued to advance on a tremen-
dous turnover, rising at one time
more than 1 cents bushel. This
rise in wholesale commodity prices
will soon reflect itself in advancing
retail prices of everyday necessities

THE strength of the victorious
socialism of our country was such as
to be a real factor in the sentence
given by the supreme court. The
most rigorous sentence passed was
that on the convicted state en-

conscious that their cause was
doomed. The Soviet court found it
possible to preserve their lives.

THE Soviet court granted these

feverishly cling.

NEW YORK, April 90. With

cannot pay taxes. It Is probable
that not more than half the assess

This will make it impossible for the

The poverty stricken workers OF
Greater New York are unable to pay

In an article devoted to the trial

keeping aloof from them, consid-
cradle section of the English bour-
geoisie and English irnperialist press
started a campaign for the deter
mined defense of the accused. The
reason for this lies in the political
aims pursued by English imperialism
in relation to the Soviet Union.

NEW YORK, October 4.-The New

York City's biggest banks have agreed,
subject to approval of their directors,
to cooperate with the Government in
its efforts to expand bank capital by
selling capital notes to the public or
to the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton or both.
Under the plan agreed to by the
New York bankers. the securities Of
fered would take the form Of capital
notes. rather than preferred stock. as
first proposed. owing to prevailing State
banking laws.
However, in some States the issue
may be in the form Of preferred stock.
The newspaper suggests the total
amount Of such securities issued
throughout the country might run as
high as $800.000. 900.
Meetings Of the boards of directors
Of the clearing house banks will be
held as soon as possible. the Times
says, to pass upon the plan, following
approval Of which the r. F.. C.. would
begin an intensive campaign to induce
other banks of the country to follow
New York's lead.
