Indiana Miners
Fight 7-Day Code
BY Mine Worker Correspondent

ny mne worker correspondent
PRINCETON, Ind. - The miners
here in the coal fields are up in
arms. The results of the MIRA. are
showing up in every hamlet, and the
miners are now talking of taking
action through the rank and file to
force the six-hour day and five days
a week, so they may have the last
two days of each week to use as
they choose.
The district officials have entered
the N.R.A. coal code as a seven-day
code whereby the workers are sub
ject to be called to work any of the
seven days. They are therefore see
ing that the NR.A code is the
bosses code
The officials of the miners prom
ised a union field in Gibson County
at the beginning of the N.R.A. Now
the miners are taking action.
However, the mines where the
trouble started are still operating and
will continue to do SO in all prob
ability unless the miners follow a
program of mass action. Prospects at
present are favorable to the scabs
here, as the district officials are ask
ing the scabs to split time with the
old union employees who have been
out three years.
In the absence Of an agreement Of
that kind there is a prospect that the
scabs will be granted charter by
the UMW.A. The policy of the Off
Gals of the U.M.WA. was that they
instructed the rank and file 90 be
good and stay away from these scab
miners, and the MIRA. would look out
for their interest.
The local Red Cross was distribut-
ing clothes to the needy here last
week, serving something like $50 fam
lies, whereas there are now about
500 families who are in destitute cir
cumstances but too proud to demand
their own.
The Unemployed Council has
brought the relief up from rs cents
per family Of IL to So. For larger
families We are still demanding more
reief-$1O per week for heads Of fam
lilies and So per week for each addi-
tional one in the family.

Gimbel Store
Bars Negroes
from Its Ball
BY a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK. Bros. de-
partment store has been working its
employees to death since the MIA.
code was accepted. Instead Of raising
wages, which would have been OF
some benefit to their employees, they
decided instead to invite all their en-
ployes to the Grand Annual Ball to
which heretofore only executives OF
the store had been invited. OF course,
they received plenty of publicity from
the capitalist press for their demo-
cratic" move. Those who do not work
every day. the "contingents," were
not included.
However, the Gimbel Bros. man
agement was faced with problem
There are a number of Negro kitchen
workers employed and the problem
was how to exclude them from the
invited. The Negroes we're given in
vitations with the hope that they
would not accept them. But to the
diSmay of the bosses, these workers
did accept the invitation.
The ball was scheduled for Satur-
day, Oct. IA, at $3.50 pm. On Satur-
day morning, Mr.. Healy, one of the
managers, called together the group
of Negro workers and with an oily
voice dripping false sentiments, told
them that though he was heartbrok-
en- about it, he had to tell them that
they could not attend the ball, that
the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, at which
the ball was taking place, would not
permit Negroes into the grand ball
room.
He asked them to return their in
vitations and then, to buy them off,
to pay for this insult, handed them
theater tickets for that same evening
SO that they would not feel "out OF
things"

will see dog houses called homes,
where TOO families live. In the white
section they have water, gas and
electric, while in the Negro section
only one-sixth Of the families have
such luxuries.
Our aim here is to make the work
ers understand that their miserable
condition is not heaven-sent, but is
the fault of the system.

Letters from Our Readers

So, comrades, we must learn TO
value our work in building so power
full weapon for the working class.
Now more than ever we must go
around the shops and bring this
great weapon of knowledge to hun
dreds Of thousands Of workers.
The workers today more than ever
are ready to buy, read and support
the Daily" so let's rally ourselves.
Here is Cicero, a town of $4,000
people, with SO many workers in
various shops. These workers must
be reached with the Daily"
My suggestion is that the Daily"
print handy posters advertising the
Daily" and leave vacant space for
address where the Daily could be
bought.
These posters should be circulated
in every state, city and town, so the
workers will know where they can
get it.

A. F. L. DUES BUY DIAMONDS


Washington, D. G.
Comrade Editor:
After indicating to us further that
they are the tool of the bourgeoisie,
the A. F. of LIS convention is now
a thing of the past, but not forgotten.
Perhaps by the light of the gilt
tering diamonds" the workers who
with their hard-earned money sup
port the A. F. of L. will be able to
CLEAN something from the "conven-
ton" by reading the squib quoted
below clipped from 100 per cent
capitalist newspaper, the Washing
ton Post.
Labor Leaders Diamonds Out
Glitter Society Opera"
High Official Explains $4,000, 900
Stones Were Just Gifts"
More diamonds than are usually
seen at the Metropolitan Opera are
in evidence at the meetings OF the
American Federation Of Labor.
almost every labor leader is be-
decked with diamonds; diamond
horseshoe pins, diamond cuff links,
diamond fobs, diamonds, diamonds
"a conservative estimate places the
value Of diamonds worn at the pres
ent convention near $10,000,000."
1 can also state that those 1 saw
both men and women, were dressed
in the height of fashion. One would
never guess that they even pretended
to represent the workers.

POSTERS FOR DAILY"

Comrade Editor:
When heard Comrade Hathaway
reporting about changing the Daily
Worker to six pages and asking the
readers for suggestions as to how to
make the Daily best understand
able to the worker readers, he re-
ported that 1000 letters with sug-
gestionS were received.
Comrade Hathaway's report thrilled
me and my conclusion was that we
are stronger today than at any time
in the past.
l am a continuous reader of the
Daily since its beginning. Also was
a reader Of all the papers during the
S. P. time IN to 1917. But there was
never a paper like the Daily Worker.
that represents so ably the entire
working class. And there surely never
was a paper that received 1000 Sug-
gestions. And you know Socialists
did not care for workers suggestions.

Louisiana Bosses
Fake confession"
to Justify Lynching

LABADIEVILLE, La, Oct. 90
Labadieville authorities last week JUS
titled the brutal Iynching last We'd
nesday night of Freddy Moore with
a belated and concocted statement
that young Moore had confessed" to
the Staying of Louisiana Larose, Is
year old white girl. Previous state
ments by local authorities said that
Moore had been arrested for ques-
tioning in connection with the muir
der and that no formal charges had
been filed against him. Today, the
lynch white washing authorities de-
clared that charges were to have
been fled today" They continued to
profess nystification on how the
lynch got into the jail to seize
the young plantation worker.
NEW YORK.-Herman McKawain,
chairman of the James Matthews
Branch of the League of Struggle for
Negro Rights, last week called on the
Negro People and white and Negro
workers TO protest the growing wave
of lynchings, marked in the two
lynchings this week in Louisiana and
South Carolina, carried out by small
lynch-gangs with the connivance, OF
the authorities who permitted the
lynchers free access to the jails to
take out their victims"
McKawein declared that the pres
ent protest campaign, initiated by the
League of Struggle for Negro Rights,
against the police-inspired lynch in
element in the capitalist press
against Negroes, the police man
hunts in the city's parks, and the
lynch-murder of James Matthews on
Welfare Island, would be utilized to
arouse the people of Harlem against
the increasing lynch terror through
out the South.

CLEVELAND, O.-An unemployed
worker, who has been out of work
Tor three years and who is walking
around the streets every day looking
Tor work, was hired by the Malleable
Casting Co. After he was examined
by the doctor, the doctor told him that
the company could not use him be-
cause his heart is too big. The man
is only 40 years old and has a family.
The doctor told him that the best
thing for him to do is to go to the
Good Will Industry and learn TO
make baskets.

We can not afford to lose this strike
if We are not to starve this coming
winter. Last winter many of our men
went to work with empty dinner
bucket. Thousands Of us women went
to the company store time and again
to draw scrip and buy something to
cat Most of the time We went back
with the empty bag. Our children
went to school without license, most
of them walking almost barefooted in
the cold snow. 1 sent my children
bafefooted to the school just so that
they can get a pint of milk day
This was the only thing they had to
eat.
While our husbands we're working in
the mine and loading coal our chill
dren were forced to go on the slate
dump to pick the coal. 1 remember
last fall when four children got killed
picking coal on the slate dump at
BURLINGTON.
While cur husbands were working
We also had to go to the Welfare and
beg for something to eat.
II this strike is lost our conditions
will be even worse this coming winter
1t is true thct slight increase has
h,en given cur husbands in wages.
Tut the Increase in prices is such
already that we can buy less than
haforo.

Why they ere fighting so hard But
We women can help them greatly in
tneir fight. We can go with them on

Negroes Beaten
for Protesting
at Discrimination
By a Worker Correspondent


CLEARWATER, Fla. - Clearwater
has a population Of approximately
5000 Fruit growing and tourists are
the main industries Of this section.
Both of these industries are seasonal.
The season lasts approximately six
to seven months of the year. Business
men manage to make profits enough
during the working season to last
them the remainder Of the year. The
workers wages are so insignificant
that they can hardly exist while
working, let alone keeping themselves
alive after the season is over.
The Negroes who are paid still less
than the white workers during the
working season, are actually facing
starvation after the tourists have de-
parted. All that is left to the unem-
ployed is to apply for relief to the
city welfare.
Appeal to Washington
The discrimination against the Ne
groes has proved more than they
can bear. The Negroes became COM
pletely fed up and during the last
presidential election campaign, they
decided to inform Washington Of
their conditions, assuming that
Washington will take an interest in
their conditions, at least during the
election campaign period.
What happened? Washington in
+ea,s Nf
this outrage-Negroes daring to COM
plain. In one evening several white
politicians called on two Negroes and
took them for a ride" They drove
them 80 miles out of town, stripped
them of their clothes and beat them
into Inconsistencies.
Beaten Twice -.
The lynchers waited until the Ne
groes regained consciousness, then
they repeated the beatings, all the
time telling them, This will teach
you to complain to Washington. +"
When they had beaten the Negroes
into Inconsistencies second time,
they left them.
IL Is OBVIOUS tnat the act OF tne
lynchers was designed to terrorize the
whole Negro ghetto. The lynchers
failed to achieve their aim The Ne
gro workers became more determined
than ever to carry on their struggle
against jim Crowism, starvation and
lynch terror.
Having learned for the first time
of a movement which fights for Ne
gro rights, they enthusiastically
adopted the new idea that was
brought to them and became inter-
ested in joining the organized move
ment of white and Negro workers.
In the face of all this terror, the Ne
groes have proven their willingness
to organize and struggle for the over
throw of this Jim-Crow system.

NEW YORK.-The F.W. Woolworth
Co. has at last been decorated with the

This company has earned this en-

This powerful organization has &C
