Miners Refuse to
Work Under Green
Thug Protection
BY Mime Worker Correspondent

BY a Mine Worker Correspondent
HORNING, Pa.-Some of the men
in our local gave in to the pressure
Of the company, the union officials
and various politicians and decided to
go back TO work. AS they got to the
plymouth they found a group of
deputies. All the men decided to go
back home and not to return to work
until deputies are removed. They re-
fused to work under the protection
Of gun-men.
Several Of the men went to ask the
deputies who sent them there as no
one expected them. The deputies
told them that Pagan himself has
asked for the deputies to protect
those willing to work, in other words,
to protect scabs.
Because of this and because of the
agitation Of more militant members
of our locals, the mine remain solid
on strike. The district officials of the
UM.W.A. do not. dare to come to our
local union meeting, but are visiting
their followers in the homes and try
ing to persuade them to go back to
work. So far they have failed and
believe will fail in the future, as
we are determined to continue the
strike

Local Fagans Even
More Dangerous

LIBRARY, Pa.--Last Wednesday,
Pagan and OIeary attempted to
hold a mass meeting here. They were
not successful because the miners re-
fused to listen to them of permit
them to take any kind of a fake
vote to 90 back to work.
They drove Pagan away. But the
majority of these men forget that
there are local Fagans, who are even
more dangerous than p. T. Pagan,
because they live with us and know
us by our first names; who know
our weaknesses, and fears.
Those stool pigeons attacked the
coke region miners and their leader
ship, saying that Martin Ryan is not
an American citizen, that the ma
jority of the Coke Region miners are
foreigners and scabs.
They succeeded in getting about
125 men to go to work on Thursday.
The same evening local 70, U.M.W.A.
met to take up the question of back
to work. The local officers reported
that all the other n1i~ers are going
back; that the Frick agreement is
about to be signed. etc.
The rank and file members VINO
got up to speak against the back to

Finally vote was taken. It was
plainly indicated tfta5 anyone voting
against going back to work will be
singled out for being a radical. So
the vote was unanimous because
the ones who were opposed could not
vote. Also. while the mine employs
nearly 1900. fewer than 500 were at

the social and economic factors

prostitution.
Typical Tsnnlnany Judges
These qualities they possess only
reputedly, for in reality each is the
typical Tammany magistrate, ignor-
ant of the cause and oblivious to the
effect OF the nisdemeanors they
judge.
Probably the most reactionary, big
oted and corrupt OF the four is Mag
istrate Sabbatino. Jobless workers ar
rested for peddling are acquainted
with his severity. In January, 1880,
he insulted vilely and threatened
bodily violence to a young worker
brought before him for soliciting
funds for the striking Gastonia
workers. So militant we're the pro-
tests of workers organizations to this
action that Chief Magistrate Nc
Adoo was forced to send him a letter
Of censure. He made the front pages
again the following year when he
sentenced a young student to 80 days
in Jail for distributing Socialist lit
erature in front of Erasmus Hall
High School Later he was accused
publicly of Incorporating the
funds of an Italian social and politi-
cal club He has been consistent
enemy Of free speech and democratic
rights.
Jingoes and Hacks
Magistrate Brill has been called a
humanitarian and a liberal. In the
face of her record one can only won
der how she acquired even these
bourgeois labels. Even middle-claSs
writer's agreed that unemployment
brings broken homes and then delin-
quency. But on Nov. /, 1928, Magis-
trate Brill had this to say about
crime: 'Criminality in youth results
chiefly from lack of religious train
ing in the home" AS for her hui
manitarianism, in February, 1882, she
endorsed the Vinson big navy bill
and said, "We must be prepared for
war" On June 2, 1929, she declared
she favored capital punishment. She
is also an officer in Boss John H.
McCooey's political club.
As for Magistrates Haubert and
ODwyer, Haubert is mediocre par
ty hack, and O'Dwyer received his
early training on the New York po-
lice force. The latter is the personal
appointee Of Holy" Joe Mckee.
Thus the new Brooklyn women's

unemployment relief, the maynard

tutes" get a rat-hole for court and

Coke Miner Charges
Ryan, UMWA Man,
Broke Pledges Made
By a Mine Worker Correspondent.


BROWNSVILLE, PAN the
first strike Of the 10000 miners,
also this strike Of 100000 miners,
the leader of the H. G. Frick min
ers was a man by the name of
Martin Ryan. He made speeches,
called upon the miners to stay to-
gether; called upon them to fight
Feeney, and the corrupt officials,
and all of US thought he was a sin
cere fighter. When group of us
recently held a meeting to discuss
the best methods of winning the
strike, we invited Ryan to that
meeting.
He came and made q speech in
which he pledged himself to mass
picketing of the mines in Coke
Region whether they are CONNER
cial OF captive. He stated eff the
commercial mines were to work,
the captive mines will have to go
back too"
There are now the following
mines working round Brownsville,
Melrose, Royal, Allison, Albany;
the reports are that divers are
yyorking. Thompson, Poland and
several other commercial mines.
The newspapers claim that over
1000 men in the commercial mines
in the Coke Region are at work.
At none of these mines was there
any picketing done by Ryan or his
supporters! Thus he broke his
pledge to the miners, and helps the
coal operators and Lewis-Fagan
machine to put over the whole
damn agreement that chains US
miners to the mines as much as
if we were slaves.
As a result of the meeting which
Ryan attended, the Lilley local of
the UMWA expelled is men for
being at the meeting. They claimed
that it was an NMU meeting. Ry-
an knew about this expulsion and
yet he did not come forward to
defend these men. Seems to me,
and I heard many other miners
say the same thing, that Ryan was
fighting Feeney because the min
ers hated Feeney for his sellout
in 1922, but since Hynes was APP
pointed in Feeney's place Ryan
must have made a deal with the
UMWA machine and from a lion
became a lamb.
We rank and file Coke Region
miners must see through these
schemes and fake leaders, and treat
them as Feeney.

same time the workers were called
upon to prepare for struggle under
the leadership Of this union. AS had
been anticipated, the A. r. OF L. lead
ership had learned of the meeting,
and two organizers were present. Be-
cause Of the clear, sharp presentation
of the Steel and Metal Workers
Union, and the anticipation of the
whole question of the "red scare"
these A. F. of L. organizers were ao-
tualIy booed down by the workers,
when they attempted to take the
floor.
1t was decided at this meeting that
shift meetings were to be called OF
each shift on q broader basis during
the coming week, where discussions
on the demands Of each category of
worker would take place, and where
smaller committees from each shift
would be elected to meet together
and formulate definite program OF
demands to be presented to the COM
pany, and that another open meet
ing of all workers be held one week
later to vote on the demands and to
elect committee to present them to
the boss. With the exception Of the
welders, who still maintained their
membership in the A. F.. Of L., all OF
the workers who attended the meet
ing Joined the Steel and Metal Work
ers' Union. It was pointed out to
these welders that although they be-
longed to the A. r. of L. they should

The shift meetings took place the
following week with much larger
representation than the first one, and
in that week 10 workers Joined the
union, paying initiation fees, and so
more made applications, promising to
pay at the next open meeting.
We carried out a policy of lining
up the key workers in the shop, that
is, workers who have certain stand
ing among the larger groups in their
various departments, and during this
week there was one four-hour stop
page when the company wanted the

were not prepared at that moment to
utilize this for pulling the entire shop,
but the important thing Is that this
stoppage took place In the most de-
cisive department, under the leader
ship OF our union, and that the COM
pany was forced to accede to the de-
n1ands of the workers. The workers.
as they become convinced both of
ygle need and the possibility of fight
ing, and the capacity Of the union TO
lead them, are becoming holder. Many
of them openly come UP to the Sec
Rotary of the union and ask for APP

the Party during this week, and the
circulation Of the Daily Worker was
also increased. The sentiment for
