Wholesale Grain,
Price Down; Bread
Prices Increase

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. ia
continued sharp decline in the whole
sale price of grain was reported yes
terday by the U. S. Department. of
Labor, following the announcement
that the price Of bread has gone UP
while raw material in the bread went
down in price. Prices paid by farm
ers have gone up, reducing again the
farmers purchasing power.
President Roosevelt stated when
these figures were given out that
the advance in wholesale commodity
prices is the essence of his recon
struction program. The figures of
the Department of Labor today show
again that prices of commodities
bought by workers are sharply rising
and prices paid to farmers going
down.
Continued sharp declines in the
wholesale price of grain and c~aton
more than offset increases in live
stock prices" the Department. of La
bor stated YESTERDAY. Taking the in
dex of 100 for 1925 prices, the latest
government figures for the week end
ing Oct. IA show decline in prices
Of farm products to 567 from SIS
the previous week. The farm pur-
chasing power has again declined. as
reported in these government fig
ures and also in the current Iron
Age" since the things the farmers
buy have gone up in price while the
price of grain is dropping.

ILLINOIS COAL
MINER SHOT;
10000 MARCH
De mand Recognition
of Union and End
of Scab Mines

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Oct. 19.-One
miner, Melvin Staple, was shot dead,
as caravans totalling around 10000
miners, members of the Progressive
Miners Association Of Illinois,
streamed into the Illinois capital
demonstrating for union recognition
against scab working conditions.
The murdered miner was shot by
a henchman Of the John L. Lewis
U.NT.W.A. machine in Illinois. U. NJ.
w. A. officials have been recruiting
scabs for the Peabody Coal Co.
against strikers belonging to the Pro-
gressive Miners Association, who have
been on strike for more than year.
The demonstration, simultaneously
with one-day strike of 10000 South
ern Illinois coal miners, was a spon-
taneous move. The Pearcy-Keck off
cialdom of the PIMA. quickly placed
itself at its head to prevent the min
ers from developing a prolonged strike
for improved conditions and com0lete
union recognition through the Hi
nois coal fields.
Claude Pearcy, president Of the
PIMA, in an interview with capitalist
newspaper reporters, said the miners
wanted the "coal code to go into eff
feet in all mines" He admitted that
the march was Spontaneous"
Springfield was like an armed camp
TODAY with two companies of the Ma
tionaI Guard modified to attack the
miners at the order of Governor Hen
nv Hornor of Illinois. All state high
way police in the vicinity were Or
dered into the city.
Machine guns were set up at the
capitol building. No one was allowed
"a enter the building.
kThe miners are planning huge
demonstration at Reservoir Municipal
Park to voice their grievances.
Many bloody battles have taken
place during the past year against the
Illinois miners, particularly led by the
powerful Peabody Coal Co. which has
the support of the U.M.W.A. leader
ship. In MANY instances, the U.M.WA.
officials, identified with John L. Lew

and women have been murdered by
company gunner. Over 100 have been
wounded. Two weeks ago IT miners

body Company thugs in the Taylors-
vile region.

WASHINGTON. hobnobbing with Lewis
when the slave coal code was being
formulated, have been trying to get
the Illinois miners to accept the code
and wage agreement.
Today's action of the miners, dem
onstratively walking out in general
strike, is an act against the code.
which forbids any walkouts without
arbitration.

Harlem M asses In
Angry Protests At
Many Meetings
BY CYRIL BRIGGS

NEW YORK.-A wave Of horror
and mass anger swept Harlem yes
terday as the gruesome details OF
the brutal Iynching of George Arm
wood on the Maryland Eastern
Shore spread throughout the section.
Indignant and rapidly increasing
crowds at over half dozen street
meetings registered the rising anger
and protest of Negro and white work
ers against the lynch terror winch
has taken three new victims within
the past ten days, with a total OF 81
reported lynchings so far this year.
Altogether over 1900 workers were
at the meetings visited by the writer
in a hasty tour of Harlem. Small
groups of workers excitedly discussing
the afternoon papers on corners DIS
tant from the organized meetings
indicated definite possibilities OF
vast upsurge throughout Harlem,
comparable only to that which
greeted the Decatur lynch verdict
against the Scottsboro boys. Pro-
posals for a mass march on An
napolis, state capital Of Maryland,
we're heard in several OF these
groups.
At three o'clock over 500 workers
we're gathered at protest meeting
organized by the League Of Struggle
for Negro Rights and the Harlem
Liberator in front of the Liberator
office at 2162 Seventh Ave. Angry
murmurs rose from the workers as
Herman McKawain, chairman Of the
James Matthews Branch Of the l.. S.
N. R., detailed the growing lynch
terror, which has already taken one
victim in New York City itself, with
the police-inspired lynch Indictment
in the local capitalist press giving rise
to increasing gang attacks on Negroes
in the city parks and subways. the
speaker exhibited copy of yester-
days Daily News, with its scream
ing headline 81 900 Storm Jail, Lynch
Attacker" as an example OF how the
capitalist press justifies the lynch
ing of Negro workers.
At 128th St. and Lenox Ave, where
the Harlem Section of the lnterna-
tional Labor Defense had set up
ladder and speakers, a crowd speed
lily gathered. Other meetings were
in progress before the National
Scottsboro Action Committee, at ll9
w. 135th ST., at 133rd st. and Lenox
Ave-, and other corners. Speaking
at the I. L. D. meeting, Griffin,
leader of the organization, declared
that Roosevelt had become the execu-
tive lyncher Of the Negro under the
New Deal" that Roosevelt had re-
fused to see the delegation from the
Scottsboro Protest Marchers when
they visited him at the White House,
that he had been utterly silent on
the rising lynch wave.
Proposals to turn Sundays Red
Election Rally at Rockland Pal
ace into mighty protest against the
Maryland and local lynchers were
unanimously adopted. Emil Nygard,
the first Communist Mayor to be
elected in the United States, will be
the main speaker at the meeting,
with James w. Ford, William Patter-
son and other Harlem leaders.

At the same time the Finance

Another measure, to nationalize

unemployment insurance This an
nouncement comes after speeches by
President Roosevelt that unemploy-
ndent relief is a private matter"
Hopkins declaration is made at
the moment when the Roosevelt
government constantly revises its
figures on the number who have re-
turned to work While the imagin-
cry mass march to the factories takes
place, production figures constantly
60 downward. Steel production has
fallen 10 an average Of SO per, cent
Of capacity from A last week Elec-
trio power, a barometer of produc-
ton, has also slunped nearly two
points.
Although the slump continues, re-
lief is being cut mercilessly. But
Hopkins says that there are now
3,50o,0o0 families of unemployed on
the relief rolls This is a drop of
about million since Roosevelt took
office. Relief applicants are increas-
ing at a rapid rate.
The Roosevelt administration is
adopting similar measures to those
used by his predecessor in proving
that unemployment is declining.
In 1890, Under Hoover, a complete
census OF the country was made The
QUESTIONABLE then was drawn to per-
vert the true condition of unemploy-
ment. Since then numerous esti-
mates of unemployment have been
made. Even the Alexander Hamil-
ton Institute was compelled to adj
nit that 100000 are unemployed.
The new statistics to be gathered
by the Roosevelt census have tht
same purpose as the statistics issued
heretofore on unemployment. The
Roosevelt government on the OPEN
ing of Congress in January wants to
face the masses with an official re-
port that unemployment has de-
clined to the extent that unemploy-
ment insurance is unnecessary.
This new attempt to forestalI the
movement for unemployment insur-
ance must be answered by the I'M
employed. In every city and every
community demonstrations. resolu-
tons, protest meetings should force
upon Congress when it conYenes next
January not to issue new fake census
reports, but adopt unemployment in
surance.
