UMWA Says Strike.
Is Illegal Even If
Boss Breaks Pact

(By Mine Worker Correspondent
WHITMAN, w. Va. - In West
Virginia, Logan County, 5 mines,
2,700 miners have been on strike for
three days now, disguised with the
United Mine Workers of America
leadership.
The coal company had refused to
put in scales, to which it had agreed
to months ago. The cars held much
more than they paid for. The cars
held over five tons, but the miners
are paid only $l09 or zoe a ton,
which coal is sold for 50 to $40 in
the cities.
The coal bosses found even this
to be too much, and tried to make
the miners wages still lower, in
which the U. M. w. A. officials gave
the bosses 100 per cent cooperation
They ordered miners back to work.
In the agreement they put down that
all grievances must be settled by
collective bargaining and all strikes
are illegal. So this strike they
declared Illegal, too.
The company broke the agreement.
The scales should have been in use
q long time ago. No bargaining
helped to settle this. The miners
were tired Of such bargaining which
meant to them $40 more tons to
load without pay.

Soviet TradeUnions
Ask u, s. Workers,
Farmers to Write

We have request for cooperation
from you, which comes from the
workers Of the Soviet Union. The
official organ Of the Soviet trade
unions is ''Trud" Gabor). They plan
to publish a special issue on the oc-
casion of the Seventeenth Conven-
ton Of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union. This issue will be de-
voted to the situation in capitalist
countries. They want letters from
workers and farmers in capitalist
countries throughout the world. We
ask all the workers and farmers who
read the "Daily Worker" to write to
"Trud", through the Daily Worker.
The best fifteen letters will be pub
lished in 'Trud".
The editors of "Trud" want the let
ters to describe the effects OF the
crisis on your working and living con-
ditions. They want to know your ex-
periences with the N.R.A. They want
particularly some letters from min
ers, steel workers, metal workers, and
textile workers, on their conditions

know how the officials of the A. F.
of L. and the leaders of the Socialist
Party, are trying to strangle your
struggles. The agricultural workers
are asked to describe their working
conditions, and their efforts to or
ganize. Especially the fruit and cot
ton pickers who have been involved
in strikes re""r'f'v, are asked to write
about their fight.
From the farmers they want de-
scription of how the NRA. has af-
fected then-what they receive for
their products, and the prices they
must pay for what they consume.
Write of the hog killing, cctton-plow-
ing, wheat-burTling campaigns.
Three out of the fifteen letters will
be from Negro workers and farmers.
A special appeal is made TO them to
write. The struggle for relief and for
unemployment insurance should be
described by the unemployed workers,
in addition to descriptions OF their
living conditions.
The letters are to be written to
"Trud", but sent to us. They must be
in our hands not later than Saturday,
Dec. %, SO that we may forward
them in time to the Soviet Union.
Specify whether your name may be
published with the letter. The Daily
Worker" will publish as many Of
these letters as possible, and the best
fifteen will appear in the trade union
paper of the workers Of the Soviet
Union.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

Hemorrhoids.
s. A. Y.--From the description you
have given us, we surmise chat you
are suffering from hemorrfoids piles.
We would suggest that you continue
using the black salve and if the same
proves itself ineffective in time, get
some rectal suppositories from the
druggist
Athletes Foot.

suggest daily applications of the COM

Hives.
Mrs. Rose s., Swansea, Mass
The only way you can find out which
of the articles Of diet is causing your
hives is to live on just one of them
for day or two. For instance, begin
by drinking only orange juice for "a
hours. If no hives develop during
this period, add a cereal like oatmeal.
If no hives develop at the end of "a
hours, add vegetable like spinach.
Keep on adding to your diet one ar
ticle at time and If you notice the
appearance of hives following the new
addition, stop eating this food. Ex
clude this article from your diet for
a week, at the end of which period
try 1t again and If it causes your skin
to break out, you can be sure that
1t Is the cause OF your hives. OF
course this is long drawn out meth
cd, which requires patience and OBJ
servation; but it Is the only one we
know outside Of the scientific skin
tests. These consist Of injecting ex-

of Mrs. Roosevelt.
The second trip to Morgantown by
Mrs. Roosevelt brought $4,000 pounds
of meat for over 10000 unemployed
workers. Only a very few got this
meat. We thank President Roosevelt
for saving $4,000 pounds Of meat from
the 100000 hogs that he killed.
President Roosevelts blue buzzard
has now tranferred the unemployed
from r. r. G. to the G. w. A. Jobs,
but we have not received any yet.
This transfer is meant to cut out di-
rect relief. There Is now no relief
and no job.
When we got to the County Wei
fare board, they say, go to the G.
w. A, and the c. w. A. sends us
back to the County Welfare board
Only jobs for the politicians on the
G. w. A, no jobs for the foreign
born or Negroes.
This second trip has given full
power of the G. w. A. to the coal
companies, and to Mr.. B. Chafiin

then the miners will be told to go

The miners who were militent and

,n.ands in every bit OF work we do.
We must break with the old ap-
roach of few general slogans and
demands and concretely put forth
slogans and demands that the youth
will understand and rally to. If we
do this properly We lay the base for
building q mass Y.CL. In connection
with this we must make very serious
efforts not only TO involve the youth
in all our campaigns, struggles and
actions, but also draw them into the
leadership Of all our organizations
and actions.
We must constantly keep our eyes
open for active young workers with
the object of recruiting them into the
Y.CL. In the meantime, on the basis
Of our past work, every Party COM
rade must know of at least one young
worker from shop, trade union,
mass organization or block who can
be approached for joining the Y.CI,.
Our present recruiting campaign
must be made a recruiting campaign
for the Y.CL. as well as the Party.
Recruiting must be done especially
from our points of concentration and
our most important trade unions.
Every shop nucleus in a shop where
any substantial number of young
workers are employed, should imme-
diately set itself the task of building
YCL. nucleus in the particular
shop by taking the question up at the
next meeting of the shop nucleus.
At this meeting each comrade should
report about the young workers he
knows in the shop and then the shop
nucleus as q whole should decide upon
three or more young workers to con-
centrate ON for the purpose of bring
ing them into the Y.C.L. and thereby
establishing a Y.C.L. nucleus in the
shop.
Let us get away from the abstract
handling Of this question, the put
ting forth OF abstract slogans and
concretely take up the question on
the basis of what is said above. IN
this way we will really build a mass
Y.CL. for Which the Party has the
main responsibility.

The need for building and
strengthening the Y. c. l..
should be obvious to all. This is
especially true if we make an
analysis Of the recent strikes, particu-
larly in New York City, as we'll as
other actions that the party has ini-
tiated. We saw in the strikes that the
young workers constituted very large
percentage of the strikers. We saw
also their n1ilitancy in the strikes as
well as in other actions. We know
that at the recent u. S. Congress
Against War the youth not only had
a large representation, but they
played very important role in the
Congress. All of which leads us to
one conclusion, namely, that the
youth are receptive to our message
and are ready for organization.
In approaching the youth we reach
strata Of the working class that is
least poisoned by social democratic
traditions. They can Immediately be-
come an important factor in all work
since we have only the problem of
teaching them our methods and not
like with many of the adult workers
where we have to break down their
old conceptions before We can teach
them our new methods. This is very
important in connection with our task
in carrying out the recent Open Let
ter.
An important question we must al
ways have in mind, based on the ex-
periences in other countries, is that
If we continue our isolation from the
masses of youth and fail to lead
struggles for their needs, they may
become a potential base for mass fas-
cist organization. If we reach them
with our militant programs of I'M
mediate demands, as well as our revo-
lutionary way out Of the crisis, they
can be won to the revolutionary
movement
Our Party has the task of under
standing the problems of the youth
and on the basis OF this understand
