Strike Gains
2 Victories

GALLUP, N. M, Oct. 30.-Martial
law which sent Herbert Benjamin,
national organizer of the Unemployed
Councils, to the pententiary for one
year, has failed to break the strike
of the New Mexico coal miners now
entering its eleventh week.
Soon after Benjamin was court
martialed and sent to prison the
strikers, led by the NATIONAL Miners
Union, were able to force the Allison
mine of the Diamond Coal Company
to grant 10 or Is strike deqmands.
This makes two strike victories
which the miners have gained, de-
spite the presence of militiamen who
rule with an iron hand.
Out of five mines struck, two, the
Southeastern and the Allison, have
settled. The miners who returned to
work turned over rs per cent Of their
first pay to the strikers for relief.
Two other mines are expected to
settle, and the last is expected to
negotiate with the strikers. Around
TOO miners are still out.
Three hundred and fifty are work
ing under contract with the operators.
They are all dues-paying members
of the National Miners Union, and
have Job control. Their pit commit
tees are recognized.
Go ESQ Miles
A group Of pickets has gone to the
Madrid Mine, $50 miles from the
strike area In Gallup, in an effort
to pull this mine out on strike.
Commenting on the militant de-
Tense made by Benjamin, surrounded
as he was by militia officers who tried
and sentenced him, the Gallup indie
pendent declared:
Herbert Benjamin defied the
National Guard and its regulations
in testimony given from the wit
ness stand before the general court
martial trying him on charges OF
obstructing enforcement OF martial
