Newark Councils Stop
Eviction of Negroes

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 23.-Quick
action by the Unemployment Coun-
ellis here saved another Negro fam
lily from sleeping in the streets.
This is the tenth attempted evic-
ton of Negroes in the Third Ward,
where workers modified by the
Councils have put furniture back
into the homes.
Mrs. G. Green, who was evicted
Thursday, is a widow with two
small children. On account of her
race, she has been Disseminated
against by the relief officials. A
widows pension has been refused
her, the relief administration re-
fused to put her on the relief rolls,
and only after repeated requests was
she granted $3.50 a week by the
Children's Aid Society. Unable to
pay rent, she was evic.ed.
The workers modified immedi-
ately, and within an hour her fur
niture was back in the house. Mass
action and a militant committee
forced the granting of rent check.

Miners Resist
Move to Split
UMWA Local
Fight A g ainst Action
Designed to Expel
Thirty Members

CENTRAL CITY, Pa, Sept. o.
Rank and file members of U. NJ.
w, A. local Union No. 64I0 ara
battling valiantly against the at
temptS of District officials to
split their local, now including $50
miners, into four or five separate
locals so as to pave the way for tbs
firing Of some 80 active fighters.
The splitting move on the part
Of District President James Mark
and his staff of Lewis henchmen
has its basis in a struggle recently
staged by the local union over the
firing Of Mike Bslya, former pres
ident Of the Central City local, by
Superintendent Charles Estep, Of
the ReitZ Coal Company, which
operates four mines here.
On April IT OF this year, Balya,
as president Of the local, went to
the scales of No shaft to watch
the checking Of the scales there
By a state weight inspector. along
with the mine committee Of No. 8
Estep refused to allow the scales to
be checked while Balys was pres
emit The checking was postponed
until the next day
Balya again accompanied the
mine committee. and again Estep
stalled The miners then reduced
production to one car day tn
force the company to accede, and
Balya was fired on April 10.
The miners demanded that Balya
be reinstated. The company per-
sistently refused, and the local
struck on May 10.
The men were induced to return
to work when the company prom
ised a settlement Of Balya's case
within few days, but the SETTLE
ment" proved to be the proffer Of
yellow dog contract to Balya,
promising to rehire him on condi-
ton that he suspend all active
work in the local, and the miners
struck again. Later at a confer
ence in Clsarfield, John Loughrie,
president Of the company, admitted
that the yellow dog agreement had
been handed to the company by
Jon Ghizzoni, International Board
member of the U. M. w. A., for
presentation to Balya.
Mark then prevailed upon the
miners to return to work, promis-
ing to "uSe his influence" to OBJ
tain settlement for Balya, but the
latter is still out Of work.
Then came the district officials
order that Local 6410 be split into
five parts.
The members are determined to
fight to the last ditch against any
and all attempts to break up 6410
as militant fighting local. A reso-
luton has been passed protesting
the order of the district, duplicates
Of the resolution being mailed to
other locals of the district for sim
liar protest action.
A committee has also been elected
to secure a hearing before the In
! ternational Executive Board in
Washington, where the split will be
bought before the top leadership.
