struggle have learned much in the last weeks They
refused to be fooled again
And what nowP Now President Roosevelt com
mands' the miners to return to work. He commands
them to return to work without recognition of their
union the United Mine Workers of America for which
the miners in this instance fighting The powerful
Prick Coal Company, V subsidiary of ~ .. -sccl
Corporation refuses to grant to the miners this rec
ognition, although this is the demand of ALL the
miners.
THE miners we're told that under Section of the N.
RIA. the employers we're compelled to recognize the
union Of the workers choice. But the steel trust
refuses the miners such recognition And what does
President Roosevelt do? Does he recognize the demo-
cratic rights of the 5000 miners? No! He recognizes
the right OF one man, Mr.. Moses, of the Prick Co..
against the demand Of the 49, 600 striking miners Thus
the miners have before them in the most naked form
the true meaning of capitalist democracy. The gov
eminent of Roosevelt recognizes the right OF one man
against the rights of the $4,000 miners And why?
Because the Roosevelt government is the tool, the
servant of the Moses the Morgans, the MELONS and
the Rockeeers It is the dictatorship of these barOns
ct steel coal of all capitalists and against the
miners the steel workers. the textile workers and all
other workers.
Already the Roosevelt government is threatening
the use of open force to drive the miners back to work
This is another lesson in capitalist democracy. The
police, the militia, the army Is ready for use against
the miners to enforce the viii of handful of coal and
steel barons against the $4,000 striking miners.
The miners and the rest of the workers must draw
the necessary conclusion from this great lesson They
expect nothing in their favor from the capitalist
government which is the dictatorship of the rich
against the exploited workers They must organize
to fight against the capitalists and against the cap
alist government which, with force of arms, with yio
ence, defends the interests Of the rich.
And they must also draw the conclusion from the
fact that only the Communist Party not only points
these truths to the masses, but organizes them in
Struggle against capitalist exploitation and the oppres
sion of the capitalist dictatorship in the interests OF
the Morgans Melons, Moses and Rockefeers, whether
it be administered by Hoover or Roosevelt.
And one more lesson should not be lost MIR. Muir
ray, Vice-President of the UM.WA, in the name Of
the government, in the of President Roosevelt
threatens the miners that if they refuse to back to
work they will be in rebellion since the return to
work Is commanded" by the President.
Roosevelt supports Moses against $4,000 miners In
this he acts in the interests of his class Murray calls
upon the miners to support Roosevelt. He defends
Moses against the $4,000 miners He defends the cap
italst dictatorship with Roosevelt at the head.
