N YEW YORK, February 22.-Mile
NJ or half mile, it's all the same to
v Glenn Cunningham, sturdy flyer
from the University of Kansas.
After beating Gene Venzke twice in
the Wanamaker and Baxter miles Of
the Millrose A. A. and New York A. C.
games, Cunningham turned to shorter
route last night and defeated crack
field in a special SOO-meter run, which
featured the Curb Exchange A. A. track
and field meet.
The Kansan ran the metric equiva-
lent of the half mile in / minute 5625
seconds, fast time for the unbanked,
fiat armory track on which the race
was run. At the finish, Cunningham
had 10-yard lead over Glenn Dawson
of Oklahoma, with Frank Nordell of
New York University, third; George
Bullwinkle of the New York A. c.,
fourth, and Phil Edwards, Negro fash
from McGill University, Montreal, fifth
and last.
A SIDE from Cunningham's smashing
4 \ victory, most OF the fireworks were
concentrated on the sprint series,
where Emmett TOPPING of New Or
leans and Ed Siegel of New York re-
newed their rivalry to the tune of
three record-equaiing performances.
TOPPING, after tieing the world rec
ord of So seconds for so yards In his
qualifying heat, beat Siegel by feet
in the 70-yard final, equaling the world
record of seconds fiat. Siegel, who
handed TOPPING his first indoor de-
feat in the New York A. G. games last
Saturday, won his 60-yard qualifying
heat in So, another record-equaling
feat. Frank Wykoff of Los Angeles was
third in the final and Ira Singer of
New York fourth.
Other major victories were turned in
by George Spitz of New York Univer-
sity, in the high jump, and Leo Sexton
Of the New York A. c., in the medley
shotput.
All of these stars and many others

BY TOM MYERSCOUGH.

This 18th Anniversary of the Com
munist Party will be greeted by
many thousands of miners in recog-
milton of the leadership the Party
has given to their many militant
struggles, but the greater portion
will do so as synpathizers and not
as active, disciplined Party members,
and it is not sufficient merely to
have regrets.
In the mining fields strikes were
constantly breaking out. Many of
these, instead of coming as result
Of systematic everyday work and un-
der our leadership, were brought to
our attention thru the medium of the
capitalist press. Our program and
policies were invariably on the Job,
but not always our leadership.
Miners are less scared now of the

struggle in our Daily Worker and,
though their earnings prevent them
from making yearly subscriptions, it
is largely our fault that there are

Starvation Stalks Towns in
the Anthracite Coal Fields

(By a Worker Correspondent
THIS is typical mining town of
L about $4,000 population, in the
heart of the Anthracite. Mahanoy
City, Pa, is a mile long and less than
half mile wide. Its narrow and
wider streets are lined on both sides
with drab-looking two and three
story wooden houses, fronted by small
porcheS and overlooked by long green
and black mountains (made black by
dumping on them impure coaD. The
eight mines in and around that city
have been shut down for more than
two years, with the result that four
thousand miners are out of work. and
practically the entire male population
OF the town is idle, as there are no
other industries there.
The girls work in the three local big
shirt factories for miserable wages.
The reason for the unusually long
and uninterrupted shutdown of the
collieries, according to some mer-
chants the writer interviewed, is that
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
Company the 'P. & r." as the com
pany is known in the Anthracite,
which owns and controls most of
the mines around here, can't find
any market for its coal, and, there
fore, does not care to operate them.
Another shopkeeper Indignantly told
me that these miserable conditions
from which his town has been suf-
fering for the past two years are
primarily due to the "stubbornness''
OF the miners and to their unwilling

491a cents ton, while company men
received only $3.50 day.
Miners in these two big companies
often found their pay envelopes
neatly balanced with goose eggs"
and kisses, in other words, zeros,
meaning that they had exactly
nothing ON which to keep their fam
ilies-nothing for food Or clothing.
The result is that the worker has
been SO deep in debt to the company
or the store that he couldn't move
his household goods from the COM
pany-owned house even if he found
another job.
Meanwhile, the II. c. Frick Coke
Co.. although not reporting separate
profits, has been a vital part of the
stupendous profits rolled up by Nor
gans steel trust of which it is sub
sidiary. In the crisis year, 1881, U. S.
Steel Corp. reported net income of
only S13,038,141 and paid preferred
dividends of s25,2l9,677 and divi-

not more regular readers, because
there are many ways by which they
could get it daily, If we would ar
range for it.
We cry Shortage of forces" with
these needed forces all around u.s.
Proof of this can be found in every
strike struggle. In the recent Penn
sylvania strike, visiting committees
successfully combatted the powerful
propaganda of the capitalist press.
In the Colorado Party Districts Utah
coal fields we gave no help from the
N. M. U. center except by mail Yet
they carried on a successful cam
paign in a new field (Helper, Utah)
and with new material they CONSOLE
dated the gains, issued a weekly
paper, kept the u. M. w. A. takers
out of the picture, won the solid
support of the surrounding country
side and developed forces which went
into the Southern Colorado and New
Mexico fields with good results.
Communists can make Roadway in
the coal fields. Coal diggers make
damned good Communists and there
Is no reason why the thousands Of
miners now greeting us as sympathiz-
ers should not be in the Party and
leading other thousands in the Ma
tional Miners Union and the Com
munist Party. Let us break down
the sectarian "our Party" idea with
which we fill our speeches and writ
ings. We act as it is "our" private
Party and not for any one else. The
Communist Party is the Party of all
the workers and our job is to prove
it. This we can do by cutting the
rope that has held us in a small
circle, and make the turn to revo-
lutionary mass work among the de-
cisive sections of the American in
dustrial proletariat," of which the
coal diggers are an important part.

ROOSEVELT REJECTED THIS CODE

WASHINGTON, D. @. $3.50 Almost

Meetings are going on in secret be-
tween John L. Lewis, the coal oper-

Roosevelt will sign will suit the boss
es, and will be designed to help them

What Happened in
One Local of the
Progressive Miners
(By a Miner Correspondent,

GILLESPIE, ILL., am a member
OF Local l Progressive Miners Am
erica which has $500 members en-
ployed at the four Superior Coal Co.
mines in this territory.
When we organized the P. M. A..
we thought we really had rank and
file fighting union, but many of US
are seeing that again we got fooled.
For the last few months, only few
members attend the local meetings.
Last two weeks around 200 out of
$500 members, and those who do
come are organized by our chief boot
Ticker, Joe Pick, former Musteite
and now a good democratic citizen
of Benld.'
Two things happened here in our
local which are important. The call
was received for Cleveland Confer
ence for August 26th. After the
call was read, Chairman Pick had
his gang organized by railroading it
for vote before they gave the floor
to S. King, who came to speak on
the call. They knew if the real facf>
were presented to the miners they
would override the machine, so they
voted it down first. The vote was
1873 against and 40 for the call.
Then the chairman hypocritically
announced that there is a speaker
outside who wants to talk on the
Conference call; naturally the re-
dictionaries got up and said it was
no use since they already turned it
down.
Second development is the resig-
nation of Jack Batutello. Jack is a
member of our local and was chair
man of the PIMA relief committee.
Jack made a real fight to organize
PIMA. Because he refused to sane
ton the class collaboration policies
of the Executive Board and because
he spoke against the NRA and de-
manded that PIMA live up to the
original program of a class union
which the miners want, the Execu-
tive Board has done everything to
put Batutello out of the way.
| want to say it was wrong for
Batuello to resign That's what re-
dictionaries want, so they put their
own henchmen in there. Let US not
give up our posts but put up a fight
and let US go down among the min
ers and convince them what to do.
We all know the officials are pre-
pairing sell-out under this NRA
but we are doing nothing about it.
/ think we should now begin to
prepare for strike for higher scale
and six hour day. We know MIRA
won't give it to us. / know the min
ers expect it will be done by Roose-
welt and by Johnson, but we should
not be discouraged because the
miners are misled. When we at
the mine, all of US are grumbling,
because Of starvation wages. But
this grumbling will mean nothing
unless we now start to prepare for
action.

surplus accumulated in previous
years, the corporation still had I'M
divided surplus at the end Of 1881
totalling $421, 837,192.
In 1882, although reporting a def
