ing to the local (UM.W.A), OF
which 123 were present at the
meeting. These members quarreled
among themselves about the stag
gering system that our district
president worked out with the
super.
The mine is not well enough
equipped with cars and motors. So
they worked out this stagger sys-
tenn. They used to run the mine
six days week. About two or
three hundred men were laid off
Monday, who worked Saturday. and
they laid off about the same
amount each day. In this way
they had enough men to operate
their mine Saturday too.
Now they don't operate these
mines six days a week. But the
bosses still want to keep the stagger
system up. We do not know what
will happen as the MIRA. says that
each man should work seven hours
q Noy anu l1fC OdyS N6Gh, Willie
they are staggering us till We only
work four days a week, as the mine
doesn't run Monday, and some must
be laid off Tuesday, some wednes-
day, and other for every day Of
the week.
At our local meeting we made a
motion to do away with the stag
ger system. Next we resolved that
we will take the control of our
local away from our dictator Dis
trict President John Chinque,
Lewis appointee. A motion was
made to send a resolution instruct
ing John Chinque to call a mass
meeting in Belliar Temple of the
union hall, and instruct every local
in Eastern Ohio and the panhandle
district in West Virginia to go to
that meeting There we will nomi-
nate our own district officials, as
we are tired of having John Lewis
appoint us another company suck,
like John Chinque. He is coal
baron's friend, and We pay him
to betray us.

Paterson, N. ].
The Dye workers ready to walk
out on strike, the workers know that
they will have to fight the A. F. L..
official and Government as well as
the bosses. The bosses are tring to
tell the workers this is not the time
to strike and condition are not so
bad in the shops. But when you
hear the dye workers telling of the
speedup and the damnable condi-
tions they have to work under, and
the low pays they take home every
two weeks, then you have the true
picture of the exploited dye work.
ers. The dye workers remember how
they had to fight in the last dye
strike against the bosses gunner,
the police and the N.RA., and they
did not forget the battles of Lodi
and East Paterson where the work
ers were brutally beaten and shot
down in cold blood The workers
realize that they will have to put up
much bigger and harder fight to
win their demands and their strike
than they did last year, when they
won a partial victory from 45c to
571ac hour. The dye workers will
have to elect their rank and file
strike committees in their own dye
shops, and a rank and file leader
ship to lead them to victory over
the heads Of the U. T. w. and
A. F. L. officials.
The Institute of Dyers and Print
ers have started their maneuvers
stating these words, that if the
Dyers Union goes on strike, the
Dyers Institute will apply to the
Federal Unemployment Service for
men to fill the places of the strik-
ing dyers. The United Unemploy-
1nent & Relief Workers Assn. of
New Jersey, both Paterson Branch
and the Passaic County Branch,
have pledged their support to the
dye workers in their strike. Be
cause the unemployed know that if
the dye workers win their strike it
will mean jobs for the unemployed,
and they will not scab on their
fellow workers, but struggle shoulder
to shoulder with the dye workers
for victory. The boss class cannot
keep us workers divided any longer;
we will fight together and win the
working class battles.

An Open Letter to Our Readers
Dear Comrades:
When the Board took over the
conduct of this column on August
is, few of us guessed the extent
of our responsibility. The two
months since that date have been
a period of activity without let-up,
with every mail bringing US letters
from every part Of the United States
and necessitating answers on a
thousand subjects. The Board, num-
bering II members at the start, has
swelled to As, with more apphca-
tons coming in and work for all.
There has been this column, the
building of our lecture bureau, the
writing of articles, and pamphlets
on special subjects, and the project
of health magazine, to mention
a few of our tasks. With all this
to our credit, we began to settle
back and feel little SNUG about
our activity, when a letter from
Comrade Kolodny, Business Man
ager of the Daily" brought us to
suddenly, like a chair pulled from
under US. What about the quota?"
he asked. And we turn now to you
comrades with the same question.
Our position in this work has put
US, as doctors, for the first time,
in situation where we have not
been concerned with the money end
Of our work 1t has been a happy
escape, but destined to be a short
one. The Daily has $4,000 drive,
and this is not the time for your
doctors to be caught browsing. Our
quota in this drive is $500, sum
which is beginning to haunt us
nights, unless you comrades, for a
change, give us some relief.
Whereas, our flercest rivals in this
drive, Mike Gold and Burck, gifted
each with strong Red pen and
crayon, have used these powerful
weapons directly for raising their
quotas, we, in our condition of di-
versif1ed activity, have somehow
given the impression that we are
not concerned with such matters.
This is absolutely untrue. Burck

as soon as he began to defend the

But although he was interrupted
continuously, he exposed the A. F. L.

red movement and red-baiting, and
what the result of such action
would mean to the locals on the
iron range. He brought out that
this was also move of the Steel

exposed the local Steel Trust agents
who are instigsting this snti-red-

soap the other delegates by saying
that it wasn't the Eveleth locals

at the end of the meeting, declared

attitude to take. Let us all elect

of the tactics of bureaucracy Of Gill

local of the I. U. M. M. S. w, and
every miner send letters and reso-
lutions of protest to the Range

WHATAN PIT, Ohio.-The
Powhatan Coal Co. has put in a
couple of new ark wall cutting ma
chimes with nine foot cutting bar
to lower wages, although they are
shooting and drilling the holes, and
laying the track.
They pay so cents ton of coal
for the leaders who load after the
nine foot machine. They already
had extensions Of the shop to make
nine foot augers. But we don't
think that We will accept it, al
though they are promising us Is

we are afraid that if we start to
drill the holes, then they will bring
out their electric drills and cut the
Is cents out which they are promis-
ing. Then We will have to drill
those nine foot holes for nothing.
So fellow workers, watch your
step and don't drill any holes where
the ark wall machine cuts the coal.
And it is talked that if the work
ers drill their holes and fix their
track and buy their own powder,
then they will get So cents a ton
for ark-wall coal. That is a two
cent reduction.
The boss says, "You will drill or
loaf for that day" And then there
is nothing we can do about getting
compensation for the days that we
don't work.
They are cutting three shifts a
day with the new machine. One
shift starts at a. m. and works
till $3.50 p. M, the next shift starts
at $3.50 p. m. and works till mid
night, 1890 p. m. Then the third
shift starts at 1890 and works till
7 in the morning. The new ma
chine has such large territory
that the third crew can hardly keep
the cutting up, and a lot of time
is lost by the leaders while they
are waiting for the machine to cut.

Will Get Rid of Takers
At Next UNIV Elections

POWHATAN PIT, Ohio. We
don't like the U.M.W.A. officials,
and the U.M.W.A. contract was
forced on us. We are trying to
find a way to get rid of some of
some of those takers. We can't get
more than the boss pays us. The
committee is powerless. If we deal
with the boss directly we get better
results than the committee and the
whole ofncialdom gets for us. We
are just toiling and fussing among
ourselves till things will change. I
hope it will happen soon. And we
do hope that in the next election
we will get rid of some of these
takers in the International head
quarters, and vote in real rank and
file members from the mine who
are familiar with our conditions.

Jack ManderS Given Honor
Position as 18th Man
on First Group.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-The pick of
the nations fastest football league
the mythical All-America profess
Sional football team-is named to-
day by the United Press.
The team has IL players plus Jack
Manders. and was selected with the
assistance of coaches, players, off,
Gals and scouts of the National Pro-
feSsional League. Manders couldn't
be left off, and there wasn't fifth
place in the back field for him, so
he was given the position of honor
man."
Five members of the undefeated
Chicago Bears, in addition to Man
ders, were named on the first team.
The rest of the team was composed
of three Detroit players, two from
Boston and one from New York. The
second team is made up of four
players from New York, three from
Detroit, two from the Chicago Car
dirals, and one each from Green
Bay and the Chicago Bears.
The first team back field is COM
posed of Earl DutchD Clark, De-
troit quarter back; Beattie Feathers
Chicago Bears half back; Cliff Bat
ties, Boston half back and Bronko
Nagurski, Chicago Bears full back.
Add Manders, the greatest place
kicker of the decade and perhaps in
history, and you have a coach's
cream of the perfect back field"
Every man in that group is an
all-around star without a vital
weakness, and every one can do at
least one thing better than any
other player in the land. Clark is
the tops" of field generals. Feathers
is footballs hardest man to bring
