The audience, composed almost
entirely of miners, engineers and

included striking workers of the

This is the hill overlooking the

by gang Of Anaconda Copper
Mining company thugs in August,
1917. The attendance of these

which centered around the paper
and the miners fight for organiza-

during the war and postwar period
were not fought in vain.

Wins NOGai
lspeelaI 10 the DalIy worker

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. %
Announcement has been made by
George Williams, president of Local
70 of the Amalgamated Association
of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers and
candidate for president of the
Amalgamated against Mike Tighe
in the elections next month, that
the Standard Tin Plate Co. of Can
nonsburg has granted the A. F. of
L. union full jurisdiction in the en-
tire plant there. But no gains were
made by the workers, investigation
reveals.
The union has held written con-
tract with the company for workers
in the ''hot mill" for number of
years, and had recently asked a
contract for the other production
departments.
When the company declined, the
controversy was referred to the Ma
tional Steel Labor Relations Board,
which acted as mediator" during
its session in Pittsburgh.
Closer examination of the new
agreement, however, diScloses the
fact that the company still has
signed scale which affects only
the "hot milP' workers, and has
merely agreed verbally" that the
A. A. can represent the rest of
the plant in collective bargain
ing"
Collective bargaining" is an ex-
tremely loose phrase when used by
the induStrialiSts. Gathering around
a conference table, a polite shaking
of hands all around, the polite re-
fusal of all or most of the workers
demands, and a quiet adjournment
of the meeting-this is the COM
panies' idea of collective bargaining
For example. Roy Hunt, president
of Melons Aluminium Company of
America, who has to date fatty re-
fused to arbitrate, under the super
vision of the National Labor Board
or Federal conciliators, any of the
proposals advanced by the al
minimum workers union-declares
repeatedly that the company is
ready to meet representatives of the
employees at all times for the pur-
pose of collective bargaining"
The Standard Tin Plate case has
been hailed as another victory for
the National Steel Board, but the
workers in Cannonsburg have not
gained a single inch over the
ground they held before.

The largest meeting, at st. Louis
and Roosevelt Road, was attended
by more than 1000 workers, who de-
Tended the speakers, and no arrests
took place. After being driven from
one corner the crowd reassembled
across the street and young Com

his comrades. Several were badly
beaten when the second meeting
was broken up.
At 55th and Ingleside, one worker
was arrested when he lodged police
lines, and addressed crowd of
about 500 from house top. The
capture was only made when the
fire department scaled the roof with
ladders.
United Front Formed
On these two corners, workers
have long held open air meetings
weekly. On Roosevelt Road, the
meeting was smashed two weeks
ago, but held successfully last week
because of large and militant
turnout of workers.
In Hyde Park, workers speakers
have been badly beaten and jailed

Sheriff Kidnaps Militant Farmers
SISSETON, S. D., Aug. 6.-Ted
Sharp, cripped war veteran, is in
the hospital in a serious condition
and several other militant farmers
and workers are badly injured to-
day following the raid Saturday
night on the Farm School, Clear
Lake Park.
The farmers were attacked by a
group of drunken Legionnaires led
by Sheriff Roehr of Marshall
County, who Kidnapped julius Wal
sted and six others, took them to
the cellar of Carter's Millinery
Shop in Britton, where they were
beaten and tortured for the enter
tainment of hundreds of drunken
LegionnaireS who had gathered
from various surrounding counties.
The fascist demonstration was
an attempt to crush the organiza-
tional strength of the United
Farmers League and the United
Workers League of Marshall Coun-
ty, which have. grown tremen-
dously during the time the farm
school was in session.
Hours before the attack on the
farm school fascist hordes attacked
a demonstration of workers and
farmers in Britton. Despite being
armed, at least eight attacking
fascists are reported in the hos
pital besides others who were in
jured but not enough to require
hospital treatment.
