Anthracite Miners
Demand Opening OF
Mines by Operators
800 at Alliance Mine
Join Movement; About
5000 Involved

TAMAQUA, Pa, Aug. IS. - A
movement among anthracite miners
has developed in Schuykill and Car
bon counties to force the coal opera
tors to start work in the closed col
lievies and divide work among all the
men. The miners with the use of
about 700 Of their old cars are going
from town to town and recruiting
additional forces. Employed miners
are willingly joining the movement
together with jobless.
At the Alliance mine at Taska-
Williams it is estimated that close to
5000 men converged and were joined
by the 600 miners working there.
They then proceeded to the Gran
berry mine at West Hazelton wherr,
800 are employed. /
1t is expected that after closin
the Cranberry mine the men will con-
verge on Mahsnoy city where mass
meeting will take place. From there
they will concentrate their frees on
the mines Of the Philadelphia &
Reading Cocl and Iron Company and
the st. Nicholas and Locust Summit
mines which are the largest here.
Police and state troopers with riot
sticks and tear gas are stationed at
the mines, but have failed to intimi-
Gate the men. The miners when
nceaing the collicrios proceed on foot
led by lsuT, c-s and druIn-lers.

I. F. T U. amount to? 1t is not a
formula for each working class to
launch a general strike against it's
own warmongers
II is formula preparing the
way for the British, French and
Polish unions, which now dominate
the I.F.T.U, to support their own
governments in the coming war.
For the International Federation
of Trade Unions is not even Interna-
tional even in the formal European
sense. 1t is the grouping of the trade
unions in the imperialist countries
which are unfolding the Peace
Treaty-it is the Versailles Fedora
ton of Trade Unions.
The I. F. T. U test of an aggressor,
If the country in question is outside
the League of Nations, depends upon
whether it is prepared as signatory
to the Kellogg Pact to accept arbitra-
ton.
An Historical Example
We can test the value of this by a
little bit OF actual history. In 1929
the late Manchurian Government
seized the Chinse Eastern Railway,
and in the process Of doing so mas
sacred number of Soviet citizens
who were officials of the company.
This action was at that moment
clearly instigated by the United
States of America, which was strongly
supporting the Manchurian Govern
ment.
The Manchurian forces moved up
to the Soviet frontier, and border
raids, in which Soviet villages were
attacked, became the rule.
Some months later the Soviet forces
counter attacked and proceeded to
clean up the Manchurian Army.

Amsterdam Internat'l
Resolution on
War Issue

THE International Federation O
L Trade Unions in session at Brus
sells has adopted resolution in favo,
of a general strike inside the "agres.
sor" country in the event of wal
being likely to break out.
What Resolution Says
The resolution makes it clear that
The aggressor country is the one
which refuses arbitration on the
question in dispute, whatever its
nature.
AS to the psychological moment
for the strike, this, it was declared,
would be indicated by the refusal
of Cd an appeal to arbitration of
the President of the League Council
acting under Article II of the Cow
enant of the League of Nations, or
90 the appeal of any Government
acting in pursuance of the Peace
Pact of Paris. Or 90 such time as
is laid down by a joint committee
of the I. F., t. U. and the Labor and
Socialist International specially
formed for the purpose of giving a
lead when the state of crisis exists.
In addition to this preparation to
meet any war menace, the Con-
gress dealt specifically with the
danger arising from the Dictator
ships in various countries and in
structed its Executive ito take such
steps as will insure the political
and economic isolation of any such
State which menaces peace"

representatives Of reformist trade

fender" countries.
What is the definition of an ag-
greSsor country according to the 1.
F. T. u?
Let us say that a dispute breaks
out between Fascist Poland and Fas-
cist Germany over some question.
Which of these countries are to be
judged the "aggressor"?
According to the I. F. T. U. the
country which refuses to submit its
case to League of Nations arbitration.
Now the League of Nations is
little more than war machine in
the hands of Britain and France.
Any arbitration by the League
would be weighted against Germany.
Yet if German capitalism refused to
accept that impartial arbitration it
would, according to the IF.TU.'s
formula, be the "aggressor."
Not a Fight Against War Makers
The German working class would
be expected, according to the l. F.
T. u, to fight against its Fascist
Government, the Polish worling-class
would be expected to support it's
Fascist Cover ment.
What does the new formula of the

To Fight "Aggressor"
Not Capitalist
Glass

At this point Mr.. Stimson, the
U. S. Secretary of State, demanded
that the Soviet Government submit
its case to arbitration and did his
best (unsuccessfully) to line up all
the impe-ialist governments against
the Soviet Unicn on this issue
The Soviet Government refused
this "offer' of capitalist arbitration
and the Manchurian Government was
forced into direct negotiations.
Now according to the formula Of
the I.F.T.U., the Soviet Government
was the aggression because it refused
to submit its case to the arbitrament
of hostile capitalist States.
Leads Workers
At any moment the Soviet Union
may be in conflict with some capt.
talist State and a similar situation
may arise.
The I. F t. U. formula is therefore
one which lines up the unions in the
countries supporting Versailles behind
their own Governments and against
the U.SS.R.
1t is noteworthy that the mover OF
the motion, Mr.. George Gibson, Of
the Asylum Workers Union, spent 2
lot of time talking about the n2cc--
sity of teaching the youth the truth
about war, but not word on the need
for trade unionists to oppose tie wa
policy of their own Government.
Not move against war. but move
to the side of their own Governments.
That is the meaning of the I.F.T.U.
resolution.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark-More thar
1000 workers met in the City Parl

AS the workers gathered in front

ninglirg in the crowd, armed with
tear gas bombs, while an army of
blue coats paraded in front Of the
hall, with officers inside the build

Some one called for volunteer
committee to go inside, and a group
supported by officials came forward
told the workers to remain across the
street while they went behind closed
doors. Then 80 minutes later emer-

He said, "There is no need to dis

French Protest AS

Campaign for Saar
Fascist Demonstration
in Niederwald
August 81

PARIS, Aug. 18.-France, Great
Britain and Italy will begin united
economic attack on Germany in re-
taliation for the continued Nazi prop
uganda in Austria, it was announced
at the French Foreign Office yester-
day.
France has already made another
loan to the Austrian government,
which is officially described as a po-
litical loan. In addition the three
signatories of the Four-Power pact
will attack the fourth by giving spe-
cial concessions to Austrian trade at
the expense of German trade.
PARIS, Aug. 18.-The Nazi radio
propaganda against Austria, which
continues undated despite the Ger
man governments promise to Italy,
France and England, that it would
stop, is now supplemented by"a radio
offensive directed at the residents of
the Saar.
The French press yesterday de-
manded that the government take
energetic action against a Nazi radio
invitation to the inhabitants of the
Saar to attend a great Nazi demon
stration at the Niederwald on August
81.
The Saar basin is under the juris-
diction of the League of Nations IN
til 1885, when a plebiscite will decide
whether it is to belong to France or
Germany. It's chief wealth, how
ever, the coal mines, belong to
France under the Versailles Treaty.
It is center of the steel industry.
The Niederwald is a mountain
about so miles north of the Saar
Basin, symbolized in the German
national song, die Wacht am Rhein."
The socialists of Saarbruecken
have countered by calling a demon
stration at Neunkirchen on the same
date as the Niederwald demonstra-
ton.

into the Bureau to present the cases
of workers without food tickets. An
other demonstration will be held
there Monday, 10 am.
From three points downtown, Sew
enth Street and Avenue A, Rutgers
Square, and the West Side, 300 work
ers were modified to march down
on the Bureau at Spring and Eliza
beth Streets. The mass meeting held
outside the doors of the Bureau was
swelled by 200 other workers from
the neighborhood.
Jack Anyon and Milton Stone
spoke at this meeting representing
the Workers Committee on Unem-
ployment, Locals 2 and 3. Members
of both these organizations partici-
pated in the unity demonstration.
Minor Speaks
Robert Minor, Communist candi-
date for Mayor, was introduced by
Joe Porper, organizer of the Down
town Unemployed Council, who
pointed out that Charles Solomon
ignored an invitation telegram sent
him. asking him to speak at the
demonstration.
Minor got tremendous ovation Of
cheering and applause when he
mounted the platform. And the first
words he said were: 1--WE are not here
for oratory, but for iood for starving
workers" He then continued, "We
are fighting against a permanent
condition of unemployment; on this
basis we must fight for Federal Un-
employment Insurance for the
masses. 1t becomes life and death
question to establish this"
On the basis of the demands of
both these demonstrations, Confer
enoe Against Evictions and Relief
Cuts is being held this morning.
Workers Ordinance
Delegates from scores of workers
organizations are meeting in Irving
Plaza to adopt a program of resisting
the evictions and to gain increased
relief. A Workers Ordinance will be
drafted to be presented to the Mu-
nicipal Assembly of the city for en-
actment. The ordinance proposes
that the city provide adequate relief
in cash, stop evictions, provide needs
for the school children, and num-
Der of other provisions to assure the
needs Of all workers.
The pressing need for city law to
provide immediate jobless relief is
increasing daily. In the Harlem
Home Relief Bureau the supervisor,
when informed that numerous fam
lies are without electric light and
gas, said, 1--WE are not here to raise
their standard of living exactly, If
both (gas and Light are shut off for
some time then we do not turn it
on Latin American and Negro
workers predominant in lower Har-
lem.
Not only gas and light, but food
checks have been stopped for about
one-third of the families.
At $40 East 102nd Street Negro
family was evicted wednesday after
nocn and the furniture remained in
the rain until the following alter-
noon. A sign ON the workers belong
ings told the whole story: No land
lord will accept a Home Relief rent
check" Thousands of families are
in similar straits since the officials
decided not to pay rent until the
furniture is on the streets.

Japan.
New Form of Resolution
Up till this Congress the strongest
unions in the International Fedora
ton were the German unions. The
leaders of those unions categorically
refused the Communist offer for a
united front with view to organiz-
ing general strike both on July 20,
1882, when Won Papen seized the gov
eminent of Prussia, and in January
&c. 1893, when Hitler was made Chan
cellor.
All of the union leaders who
have sabOtaged resistance to wage
cuts in their own countries voted
complacently for the resolution.
The character of the resolution is
to some extent new. Hitherto the
general strike against war was a
weapon to be applied by the working
class of any given country against its
own Government which was bent on
war.
The idea was that if the British
and German Governments were
moving to war, the workers in each
of those countries would strike
against their own Government.
Now the International Federation
of Trade Unions proposes a general
strike of the working class in the
