of their officials, to show how the
officials are working not for the
interests Of the miners but of the
bosses, and to build up a militant
opposition under honest rank and
file leadership, within this local
of the U.M.W.A. We must guard
against the mistake of assuming
that all workers who do not yet
understand the need for mill
tant, class struggle line of action
in trade unions are scabs or
bosses agents.
We must, of course, be on the
lookout for the scabs and stool
pigeons, but we must remember
that there are numbers of honest
workers within the A. F. of L. who
do not as yet understand the re-
dictionary role of the A. F. of L.
leadership. To educate these
workers to the need of militant
rank and file leadership, and then
build a united front of the rank
and file of the U.M.W.A. and the
N.M.U. to fight for better condi-
tions and against the attacks of
the mine owners should be the
aim of our correspondent.

In the July 18th issue of the

ried a criticism of the attempts
made Cor not made to raise the
Marxist-Leninist education Of our
comrades to a higher level, Perhaps
the example of the work started in
Bessemer, Alabama, will help the
comrades in. other places to begin
this very important work.
When the Section Committee in
Section 7, District II, decided to
devote one half hour of each meet
ing to study we found that we
could not get the necessary material
from the District Literature Agent.
Then we sent Immediately to the
Workers Book Shop (New York;
for ten copies of the Communist
Manifesto In addition to this, one
comrade wrote to friend in New
York, asking him to get a group
of his friends, VINO are Party
sympathizers, to donate literature
for this important work. The re-
suit was that we received twenty
copies of the Communist Manifesto,
ten COPIES of PROVIDERS Report to
the Eighth National Convention
and ten copies of The Way Out.
This literature was used as fol-

Welfare Officials Try Starve Miners Into Company Unor
FERA Strike
In Gallup Is

By a Miner worker COrresponden

By a Miner Worker Correspondent
GALLUP. New Mexico. = The
FERA strike is going good. The
workers have made up there minds
to remain on strike till the 20 per
cent cut is restored.
The workers had an open air
meeting on Saturday and they got
the support from the N. M. U. of
Gallup, and today they received a
wire from Albuquerque saying the
common labor union there had a
committee To meet the Gallup work
e-s and go with them to Santa Fe,
to present their demands, SO we
hope to see the FERA workers Of
Albuquerque fall in line with the
Gallup FERA workers, for they too
have received a 20 PEI cent cut,
but they got theirs earlier than the
workers in Gallup.
But when they cut the workers
here they had O good fight on their
hands. Those blacklisted miners
are sure fighters, they can't put
anything over on them with just
saying we cut you out. 1t don't
work.
The government is saying to the
workers today we are going to cut
your hours and raise your wages.
But in this case some one is doing
the other thing by cutting the
wages and raising the hours. So
that is what the New Deal means
to the workers in the state of New
Mexico.
To all labor unions, send in pro-
tests to Governor Huckenhull.

BESSFNIER. Ala.-The situation
at the Muscoda Mine of Tennessee
Coal and Iron R.R. Co. is getting
worse, while the company is striv-
ing to get the miners into COM
pany union.
The mine is shut down now. The
Welfare is stalling the miners, try
ing to keep them off the relief as
long as they can-and then give
them as little as they can when a
miner does get relief.
Here are two examples. One Negro
miner, who has family of four,
gets a 1914 food check which is
supposed to last two weeks. Another
Negro miner with 10 in the family
gets the following 4 lbs. of lard
2 small packages of meal, 2 cans
each of salmon, beef and tomatoes,
and four cans of milk. This is sup
posed to do for two weeks. 1t will
not be long until actual starvation
spreads over Red Mountain.
T. C. I. controls the Welfare.
Mrs. Maddox, the Bessemer Relief
Administrator is the wife of A. D.
Maddox, the tel labor agent
Thus, when T.C.I. says the rebellious
miners will be starved into good
company men, it is no idle threat.
The TCI. is trying to win back
the Negro workers for good COM
pany men by patting them on the
back at every turn. and promising
them good jobs in the place of the
white miners. This is the Tel.
method of smashing the union while
Roosevelt and the N.R.A. look on
and do nothing. The workers
themselves are already preparing
real fight to keep the union and
smash the company union.
The scabs are being treated very
we'll by T.C.I. to keep them in line
with the company. For instance.
T.C.I. doesn't cut anything out of
a scabs pay check when the min
ers came back after the strike their
first check was cut about 66 per
cent for everything Imaginable

UNIV Leaders
Use Red Scare
TOSplit Miners
Rr a Mine Worker corresnondent

6F WINE WORKER correspondent
GALLUP. N. Mex. = August the
2nd the organizer of the United
Mine Workers of America called a
meeting in the Gamerco mine. They
said they had IS members, so as
the National Miners Union had over
that amount they sent a committee
up to meet them, but when they got
there they found only six men from
the mines.
The committee went in and asked
for the floor, and got it. Cur COM
rnittee said they were there to call
meeting of all miners to unite them
for fight, regardless of their union
belief, as the bosses could see the
split, and that was the way they
liked it. We must unite the workers
first for better standard of living,
and get committee from all the
miners to work up the demands to
put before the company.
Here is the stand the scab leader
Fontackeo took. The N.M.U. is Just
a hideout for the Communist Party,
and we will have nothing TO do with
them, he said know the miners
have room for fight, he stated,
but only if they join the UM.WA.
will we fight for them, and then we
won't have to strike to get our de-
mands, as we have three men paid
by UMWA. to fight with the gov
eminent to get us square deal.
Then bad egg got up and said,
IF we do unite the miners and the
company will not accept our de-
mands, what shall we do? We can't
strike. So we must join the
UNIV A"
Now is there any man that can
believe that the N.MU. is Commu-
mist, when we have $50 members in
Gallup alone who we are sure are
not Communists, just real fighting
miners ready to fight the bosses at
any time, and when they do strike
they do not pay a 81 fine to takers
like John Lewis.
So we, the miners of Gallup, can
see very clearly that the U.M.WA.
does not want to unite the miners
for a fight, but to unite them for
the bosses, for the next war which
is very near. We used to have strikes
with the U.M.WA. without bringing
in the government, so why not now,
and we can still have them by build
ing the NM.U. like the Gallup min
erS.
True, we don't have all the min
ers, but the ones we don't have are
the type that don't want union
or they are just thugs or yellow
bellies. The N.MU. is the only union
for the miners with clean leader
ship. So get up and build it, it is
your duty.
NOTE:-This worker Is correct
in his denunciation of the no
fight, splitting tactics of the
U.M.W.A. leadership in Gallup.
However, although it is easy to
understand his disgust with the
U.M.W.A., he is making a serious
error in assuming that the men,
bers of the U.M.W.A. are "the type
that don't want union, thugs, or
yellow bellies" These workers are
misled by the poisonous pro-boss
propag anda, which is spread by
these labor agents of the mine
owners.
1t is necessary to convince the
honest workers in the U.M.W.A. of
the selI-out nature of the policies

There was not enough to do on
the farm anyhow, since his pa sold
most of the COWS.

Finally he joined the National

meals a day and a roof over his

drilling was something he expected.
And it was all right when they

But when they had to do their first
strike duty, that was different. He
didn't think it would bother him so

mean anything to him.

pudding last fall again wrote,
speaking of her efforts to reach

selves on the farm product: the
impoverishment Of the farm homes,
actually reaching the point OF star

She sees also the conservatism,
lawsuit contract attitude Of
the farmer. between which and
open rebellion he continually va
cillates; the slavery to day-long
chores, the inarticulateness of farm
women; the steady movement left
under the leadership of the Party"
