Negro Miners Are
In Forefront of
Strike Struggle
BY a Mine Worker Correspondent

BY a Mine Worker Correspondent
ARNOLD CITY, Pa.-The other
day rumors spread that the Bennings
mines went back to work. Over so
Negro. miners from this town got to-
gether and decided to go picket these
mines. They walked the distance of
Is miles, determined to re-strike the
mines in case they went back to work.
l participated in many strikes but
never saw such unity of all the min
ers as in this strike. Great credit
must be given Negro miners for their
militant participation in the strike
On every picket line, at every mass
meeting, at every local union meet
ing, everywhere the Negro miners are
in the forefront.

1T WORKED
LOOKS FOR LITERATURE IN
VAIN


Dear Comrade Editor:
Although I am not a member of the
Communist Party, I will say this
much: If every Party member would
take the pains to carefully examine
Comrade Browder's report in the
August Communist" and get down
to brass tacks instead of so much
ballyhoo, I think that the security
oil the Daily Worker would be assured.
The report of your correspondent
who came upon a scene somewhat
unnoticed is correct. I, too, have made
the rounds of mass organizations
looking for literature, but all in vain.
Some of the comrades looked some
what surprised upon being questioned.
At the District Headquarters they
promised to get me the "Communist"
and told me to come back in a couple
of days. 10 and behold When I
came back on two different occasions,
nobody seemed to know anything
about it, only that "whosis" had gone
on two-week vacation.
Comradely your

We do not expect to ever review 1t

way to clean fruit is to place 1t In
a collander and let the cold water
from the faucet run over it, shaking
the utensil from time to time. The
water pressure is sufficient to remove
any arsenic or other poison that
might have been sprayed on the fruit.
Neither soaking. wiping, nor the use
of chlorate are necessary. The maya

which will combine scientific truth

Such are Mr.. Kelly's views. They
clearly imply that trade agreements
which hitherto have been called con-
spiracies in restraint OF trade shall be
SO regulated by the Government as to
become potential agents for the public
economic welfare.
Against that philosophy the old style.
orthodox. anti-monOpoly Democrats of
the House of Representatives are nu-
merOusly in open rebellion. 1t was at
their inStigation that the Democratic
caucus of Wednesday night was sum-
mcned into being. The theme OF the
evening was the wisdom or unwlsdom
Of our present antitrust laws. ON
cial Democratic leaders Of the House
say that the House in this field will
ultimately accept whatever President
Roosevelt may propose. Other promi-
nent members of the House maintain
that the sentiment in the caucus was
strongly in opposition to any impairlng
of the antitrust laws by any govern
mental agency whatsoever.
x 4
From among these latter a character
istic view was expressed to this writer
today by Representative Ross Collins OF
Mississippi. who is an earnest student
of economic problems and also of the
feelings OF the electorate. Mr.. Collins
said:
The Democratic platform Of 1882
declared: We advocate strengthening
and impartial enforcement Of the anti
trust laws, TO prevent monopoly ana
unfair trade practices and revision
thereof for the better protection of the
laborer and small producer and dis
tributor.' 1t was claimed by some
speakers in the caucus that the word
revision is to be interpreted in the
light OF the WORDS in the beginning OF
the sentence in which it Is found. In
that beginning we declare not for a
weakening but for Strengthening OF
the antitrust laws.
That strengthening is required by
the economic circumstances Of the
country and by the whole historical
record Of the policies of the Democratic
party. Any governmental sanctioning
of agreements in restraint OF trade Will
mean in the end the destruction of the
small and weak by the large and strong.
Against that sort Of monopolistic ten
dency the Democratic party is COM
mitted by its whole nature IN the past
and by its whole hope Of the future"
There can be no doubt that Mr.. Col
Inns voices the sentiments Of a large
element in the House, just as there can
be no doubt that Mr.. Kelly voices the
sentiments of another large element:
and if free, full debate is permitted
in the House on the industrial recov-
cry" scheme. we shall perhaps witness
one of the greatest economic and con-
stitutional debating struggles Of our
modern legislative times.

The Tariff and the Constitution.

Although categorical information on
the subject is not forthcoming at the
White House, it is confidently expected
that before the special session Of Con-
gress adjourns President Roosevelt will
seek authority to negotiate reciprocal
tariff agreements with foreign countries.
Some doubt has been expressed whether.
even in the generous mood Congress has
thus far revealed on all occasions OF
presidential request for "dictatorial" au-
thority, it would abdicate on the tariff.
Since time immemorial the tariff has
been Capitol Hills sacred cow-a holy
of holes on which it were almost sacri-
lege to lay q non-congressional hand.
In addition, it has been suggested that
the tariff is q field from which the
executive hand is definitely barred by
the Constitution.
From the press Of the Cumulative
Digest of International Law and Re-
lations at American University Gradu-
ate School in Washington comes
timely treatise on the subject now bulk
ing so conspicuously in the Presidents
program for world economic restora-
tion. The author Of the treatise. Hope

Executive broad Discretionary power to
