A. r. of L. Leaders Prevent General
Strike
IN THIS situation, where the very
1 right of the unions of the Pacific
Coast to exist has been challenged
by the fascist terror, the leaders of
the San Francisco Central Labor
Council, backed by William Green's
strike breaking kilograms, are play
ing a treacherous game. The de-
mand of the rank and file of the
A. F. of L. unions for the general
strike to defend the elementary
rights of all Pacific Coast workers
has been thwarted by these reac-
tionary leaders. The Joint Marine
Strike Committee of so, composed of
all striking unions, of which Harry
Bridges, is chairman, appealed to
the Central Labor Council for an
immediate general strike vote of
all local unions, in the face of the
murderous terror of the troops. The
conservative leaders of the c. L. c.,
instead sidetracked the immediate
general strike by having Strategy

intimidation by strikers in inducing
others to cease or refuse to work. ;"
Thus does the press sweep aside the
right of the strikers to carry on
picketing.
The editorial states, unlawful
assemblies may be dispersed by the
police" and described an "unlaw-
full assembly" as when three or more
persons assembled with intent" to
commit an unlawful act. The right
of the strikers to picket has been
taken away by the police, the
national guards and the vicious in
functions.
Governor Merriam's proclamation
placing troops in control of San
Francisco and the county, is hailed
by the capitalist press, which COM
pares him to the strikebreaker,
Calvin Coolidge. The Los Angeles
Times of July 7, rants, after ex-
hausting all other means, the gov
ernor was finally compelled to resort
to the only kind of an argument

THE Central Committee has called for
10000 new readers of the Daily Worker
in two months. Exactly three weeks have
elapsed, and still there is a slowness on the
part of many districts to grasp the i'm

paign should be gathering momentum we
find several districts losing readers instead of gain
ing ones.
To date, plans for circulation drives have only
been received from Districts l. q 3, g. T. g. and

districts ignore the absolute necessity of meeting
their reader quotas?

Long Island Press Backing
DoWn As Picketing Goes on

JAMAICA, N. "a meeting be-
tween the publishers of the Long
Island Daily Press and committee
of the New York Newspaper Guild
was scheduled TO be held last night
to discuss recognition of the Daily
Press chapter of the Guild. This
is an indication that the publisher
is backing down.
At the same time plans are under
way for a meeting Of the Long Is
land Press Guild to discuss the adj
visibility of strike to enforce the
recognition of the Guild.
Pressure by the publisher against
members Of the Guild, forcing its
temporary dissolution, resulted in
the New York Newspaper Guild es-
tablishing a picket line in front of
the Daily Press Office. Yesterday
was the third day on which news
paper workers on various metropol-
itan papers joined in the picket
ing. They carried placards de-
nouncing discrimination against the
employees of the Long Island Daily
Press as we'll as demands for the
recognition of the Long Island chap
ter of the Guild.
The "Press" yesterday emerged
with a .front-page announcement
that majority of its newspaper
staff had signed a statement de-
nying that they had been denied
any rights by the publisher and al
leging that the picketing was not
in their interests.
That this is a complete fabrica-
ton by the publishers, for the pur-
pose of bluffing it's way out of the
situation is seen from the fact that
not single signature is attached
to the statement allegedly gotten
out by the Press" staff which in
cludes 20 members of the Guild.
In the same issue of the Long
Island paper, whose managing edi-
tor, Philip Hochstein, is a member
of the Socialist Party, is contained
an open letter to Haywood Brour
calculated to give the impression
that competitors" are behind the
picketing demonstration. The "oper
letter" completely ignores the issue
in the present struggle.

WILKES BARRE, Pa.-The long
drawn out struggle between the
two unions in the Anthracite is abb
preaching an end. Mr.. German.
the NR.A. representative here,
proudly announces that his inyesti-
cations in the Anthracite will bring
about peace in the industry and
peace between the two rival unions,
the UM.WA. and the United An
thracite Miners of Pennsylvania.
The rank and file miners whe
have jeined the United Anthracite
Miners of Pennsylvania because
they were disguised with the lead
ership Of John L. Lewis and Boy
Ian in the A. F. of L. union. and
believed they would improve their
conditions by organizing new
union have found out that the new
union had the same old policy of
the UNIV. When the new union
was formed the rank and file op-
position already at that time

Officials Same in Both Unions
On all major issues such as mass
picketing, mass violation of in
functions, putting demands forward
for the unemployed, cooperating
with coal company officials, Judges
and politicians and their attitude
towards the NR.A. and the Re-
gional Labor Boards, officials of the
two unions had an identical policy.
The bone of contention was who
was going to get the dues of the
miners and the question of the
miners grievances was always left
in. the background.
The rank and file opposition call
ed upon the miners to reject the
arbitration of Umpire German and
to reject all arbitration because
this was just another way of SELL
ing out the miners. Maloney and

the direct payroll of the coal COM
panies. All grievances were pre-
sented to German, most of the
miners had illusions that they will
get something as result of this
investigation. Now they are told
by German to accept any and all
conditions that the coal company
offers without resorting to strikes,
because that would result in the
loss of the market"
Maloney Maneuvers for Soft Job
German advocates unity of the
two unions. This unity means unity
under Lewis, Boylan, operators
control. The old officials of the
United Mine Workers have proven
to be the best strike-breakers for
the coal company. They have the
strongest strike breaking machin-
cry built up throughout the coun-
try and they can come out more
boldly and tell the miners when
they attempt to strike: go back to
work, you have a contract, you have
no right to strike, you are breaking
the agreement" This was said by
Lewis to the anthracite coal miners
when they came out on strike pre-
viously.
The operators know this. They
know that Maloney did not as yet
build up such a strong apparatus
which would be able to betray the
miners in a similar manner There
fore this unity means unity under
Boylan control. Why? The rank
and file miners who have joined the
new union in the hope of being able
to improve their conditions have
found out that they have been be-
trayed by the same Lewis policy
with Maloney at the head. The
rank and file members got sick and
disguised waiting for over five
months even if they had any hopes
