1.-THE strike in San Francisco Is
local in character, possessing no
national significance.
'1t originated with the workers
directly involved. Through an as
sumption of authority growing out
of certain autonomous rights con-
ferred upon local organizations,
their representatives ordered the
strike and must accept full re-
Sponsibility for this action.
"The American Federation of
Labor neither ordered the strike
nor authorized it. At no time has
its counsel or advice been solicited
or its services requested.
But even though the American
Federation of Labor is not di-
rectly involved, its officers and
members are deeply concerned
over the existing situation and
are hoping for a speedy and sat
isfactOry settlement"
Green then continued with subtle
strikebreaking arguments to get thu
men back to work, repeating al.
most word for word the strike.
breaking propaganda of the en-
ployers in the press:
while, unfortunately, the pub
lie mind is confused regarding the
issues involved in this strike, la
Dor generally knows and under
stands that if the workers who
are engaged in the purely Sympa-
thetic strike win, they gain a mo-
raj victory, but if they lose, they
lose all"

to the League of Nations, to the
Saar Governing Commission, is not
thereby altered in the least. The
League of Nations is not their
League of Nations. 1t is true. the
League of Nations, owing to the
antagonistic interests within the
1mperialist powers, constitute for
the time being hindrance to the
outbreak of the imperialist world
conflagration, but this does not
alter the capitalist character of the
League.
Demand Workers Rights
The Communists demand all the
more energetically from the League
OF Nations that during the period
OF status quo the workers shall have
freedom to hold demonstrations and
meetings. They demand the right
OF free organization and the with
draWal of the ban on the R. TU. o.
They demand freedom to strike
against starvation wages in the
Saar, drastic taxation of the CAPT.
tahSts, reduction of taxes for all
small shopkeepers and small peas
ants. They demand work and
bread for the unemployed. They
demand factory councils freely
elected by the workers. They de-
mand an amnesty for all prole-
tar1an political prisoners and with
drawal of the prohibition of the
possession of arms by members of
the anti-fascist mass self defense
organization. They are not only ad-
Vocating but fighting for these de-
mands, and will not recognize or
leave any League of Nations Gov
ernlng Commission in peace.
The main tasks of the Commu-
nlsts consist as before in under
mining the Hitler regime in order
to be able to overthrow it by means
OF the proletarian revolution. At the
same time their fight in the Saar
against Franco-German Saar capi-
tallsm and for winning the major
1ty of the working class is being
continued. The weaknesses of the
Communists hitherto in their mass
policy, in the united front from be-
low. in the organized opposition
work in the reformist and fascist
trade unions, in the winning of the
pToletarian youth, in the fight
against fascist and social demcc-
ratio ideologies, must be rapidly
overcome.
The whole strategy of the Com
munists is directed towards the
proletarian revolution. They declare

misrepresenting facts. Your state

Weinstock further stated that To-

the State Federation of Labor will
be called upon to repudiate Will

slider it as an open attack upon the
very lives of the strikers of Cali

COAL TRADE HITS
THREE-yEAR PEAK
Consumption Increase Due
to Steel Demands and
Weather.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

special DlSpatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, February 2s.-Coal
consumption is at three-year peak.
the result of weather and steel de.
mands combined.
Production Is ahea1 of the same
coal year period Of 1888 and over the
next few weeks promises to exceed any
similar time since 1881.
Reserves are higher than in 1888 be-
cause Of increased industrial stocks
inventories in retail coal yards being
lower than last year.
Movement of coal through the Gin
cinnati and New England gateways
and out of Hampton Roads exceeds
that OF last year.
The coal situation reflects the cold
est weather in many sections Of the
country since 1920. It also has been
effected by the highest automobile
manufacturing activities since 1929.
Topping temperatures quickened
home heating demands, but they also
froze coal cars, rail switches and large
bodies OF water, thereby delaying de.
llveries. Wintry winds curtailed out
movements and slowed shipping.
WIND, snow and ice also slowed the
tidewater movement Of coal. Spot sup
plies in Hampton Roads became scarce
as New York. Providence, Fall River.
Boston and other seacoast cities sought
fuel. Tonnage in Hampton Roads
yards merely awaited available ships.
Meanwhile q pickup in Atlantic is
land and Caribbean trade out of the
Virginia coal port benefited the ocean
freighter trade.
Average coal prices today are higher
than a year ago. Comparisons are
meaningless because code rules rather
than the normal factors of supply and
demand have put up prices. The new
price structures, plus present con-
sumption, promise profits for 1884.
Several smaller anthracite companies
to date this year have earnings ex-
ceeding the entire calendar year Of
1888.
Anthracite shipments by rail last
month, according to the Anthracite
Institute, were $780, ,4S0 net tons, or
LIT ,488 over December and 1,84o,-
$50 above January. 1888. Bituminous
coal also Is moving at a faster rate,
as indicated by increases of 100000
cars passing through the Cincinnati
gateway, of $500 through the New
England gateway and 1000 out Of
Hampton Roads.
Although industrial inventories Of
bituminous coal approximated 25,614,-
900 tons January l, such buyers again
are in the market to protect them
selves against further price advances
and possible transportation strikes
next month.

Trading was comparatively quiet,
with fluctuations after the opening
rather irregular within a narrow

reported, but there was some further
covering or buying to replace cotton
recently liquidated and possibly a lit
tie buying for foreign account
These offerings were supplied by
scattered selling or liquidation, partic-
ularly in the later month.
Liverpool was credited with buying
during the early trading, but brokers
who frequently operate for japanese
interests were sellers of the late
months. Liverpool cables reported
comparatively small market there with
buying on the prospects Of the Bank

The cotton market reacted partly
late in the day under increaser
