How OLeary Tries to Tie Up Pennsylvania
Miners to Coal Operators Speed-Up System
Tells Men to Work Harder to Produce Coal in
Six Hours Than They Formerly Did in Seven

The task Of the Communist Party
every side by the miners and their
ments into broad local left wing
six hours five days aweek and Sc
day. The leaflet was distributed
celebration into a demonstration for
in every mine, and the slogans
raised in the leaflet were raised on
in the Brownsville section is to
mobilize all the dissatisfied ele-
mentS into local left wing oppo-
sitions, and take over the lead
ership in the local unions, and begin
to lead the struggles for the every
day needs Of the miners. Also pre-
pare the miners for broad struggles
that will take place this summer.
Miners are not satisfied with the
IS day, because it affect only
about ten per cent of the day men
The leaders will continue to work
on the and 3 shift system and will
not be able to earn even half Of the
SIS day. Thousands of them will
continue to walk in and out with
out earning a penny; also when the
mines start to slow up ad work only
few days in week or in a pay,
the S. a day will become q joke.
We can, and must organize the
dissatisfaction into struggle for 5
days a week, 6 hours a day and SIS
a day for every miner. Also a
guarantee of minimum Of 40 weeks
work a year and unemployment re-
lief for all unemployed and part

CALIFORNIA, Pa, (By MaiD -
An appeal to the miners Of Penn
sylyania to help the coal operators
speed-up schemes was made by
John OLeary in his speech April 1
to the meeting Of 10000 miners and
their wives and children at the
United Mine Workers of America
rally here.
John OLeary, who is the Inter
national Board member Of District
5 of the U. NJ. w. A., said to the
miners. Your leaders convinced the
coal operators and the Government
that you are capable of producing
the same amount of coal in seven
hours a day, that it now takes 8
hours a day to produce. If we,
through more efficient methods of
work (meaning more intense speed
up accomplish this, then next year
we can ask and probably get the
six hours a day"
OLeary also proposed scabbery
on the part of the Pennsylvania
AI4lClo Wy Saying, Il UIle southern
and Northern West Virginia do not
sign an agreemet, there will be a
stoppage mot strike) and we in
western Pennsylvania will get their
orders"
The Brownsville Section of the
Communist Party issued a leaflet
calling upon the mines to turn this

City Officials
Backed By UMWA
Against Miners
by a Worker Correspondent

NEW KENSTNGTON. Pa. - On
April the District officials Of the
United Mine Workers of America
arranged a mass meeting. The at
tendance was a little better than
5000. The chairman Of the meeting
was Jack Hasan. formerly a West
noreland County detective. This
man is liked so much that the same
evening a meeting Of the local in
Renton took place, where Hasan
was told by the miners not to come
back.
The Mayor Daniel Burns was to
speak, but instead they got a city
official named Silverman. They
tried to tell us how good the mayor
was to the workers. He has a good
record Of using his police to arrest
workers for distributing leaflets dur
ing the aluminium strike. The
workers water, gas electricity is
shut off by him, and evictions are
on the order of the day.
Pat Pagan, District president of
the U. M w of A. was continually
interrupted by questions, point Of
order, etc. Mr.. Hasan had to take
the micropone to appeal to the
audience TO be peaceful, but they
were unable to check it.
The miners spoke of Sc and 5
hours day, 5 days a week. During
Fagan's speech about half of the
audience walked away. Pagan said
that he did not come to answer
questions. but to explain the con-
ditions of the agreement.
The miners will struggle; there
are many conditions in the mines
which do not come under the agree
ment, such as pushing cars cheating
on weight, no payment for dead
work, etc.
To lead the miners in the strug-
gle against the worsening conditions
in the mines, the opposition groups
must be organized, the Communists
in the mines must take the initiative
in the fight around the immediate
needs, to lead the opposition in
cleaning out the corrupt local Off
Gals in many Of the locals, and
preparing the workers for struggle.
This victory of the miners of IS
a day and hour day was possible
only as result of the struggles the
miners have put up. This was given
to them because they have some
experiences of the miners strike
when they marched 5000 strong on
the Clarion mills.

MAY DAY is OUR DAY,

This May Day will be bigger and
better than ever. Thousands of
workers who have been or still are
on relief, thousands who have lost
their C.W.A. jobs, will know that
May is their holiday. This is their
day to march all together and show
their strength. Workers children
throughout the country will let the
world know that they are fighting
side by side with their fathers and
mothers.
Pioneers are busy at work prepar-
ing for the great demonstration.
This is what they are doing in New
York. In all sections of the city
the boys and girls are making floats.
Each section is given a different
subject. In Harlem where the
largest number of Negroes live, they
will take the Scottsboro Case. The
children on the East Side are using
tenement fires as their subject. In
Brooklyn, the boys and girls will
carry on long sticks empty milk
bottles and the torn shoes and
clothes they have to wear to school.
In another part of Brooklyn,
crowded school rooms will be the
subject. On May l everywhere
workers children will be marching.
In every town and city. They should
make the day a success no matter
how small the village.
Bring out your class mates after
school to march with other work
ers children. If you can get enough
of your class or school to stay out,
so that the teacher will not denote
those who stay out or mistreat
them in other ways, do so. In
schools where the Pioneers have
been very active, a strike can be
called. But if you haven't worked
hard during the year, and this is
impossible, then you will not be able
to strike on May Day
But you can all march after
school! Well see you all on May
Day

Age-W Orn Excuse

About a month ago an attempt
was made to organize a local com
mittee of the American League
Against War and Fascism in the
neighborhood where I live. The del
egates attending the first meeting
were Socialists and Loyestoneites
and no effort was made to build the
United Front by inviting trade
unions and mass organizations in
the neighborhood to send delegates.
At the second meeting, however, sew
eral left wing organizations we're
represented and the Socialists and
Lovestoneites, true to their splitting
tactics, withdrew from the commit
tee. I attended this meeting as a
delegate from three local groups of
my mass organization and was
elected secretary Of the committee.
Since this second meeting, the
committee has contacted number
Of churches, clubs, neighborhood
settlement houses, parent-teacher
organizations, ETC., in an effort to
build United Front Committee.
and has been partially successful,
despite the opposition of the labor
misleaderS and renegades. The
committee has held open air meet
ings WIN the weather permitted and
is calling neighborhood mass meet
ing to rally forces in support of the
April 9Th meeting at st. Nicholas
Arena.
In connection with this work,
wish to draw attention to the at
titude of some of the Party COM
rades which seems to me to be in
correct. When the question of af-
fiiation with the League was raised
in my Unit, there was immediate re-
Spouse and delegates were elected.
But when other units in the ter
ritory were invited to participate
their response was one, either of in
difference or opposition. When
comrade approached one of the
units for assistance in the distribu-
ton Of leaflets for our mass meet
ing, he was told, 1--WE have no time
for this work. We must contact
the masses" The Agit-Prop of an
other unit when asked to raise the
question, said, What the hell This
is paper committee"
The District Draft Resolution
points out that, lone of the seri-
Gus shortcomings of the district has
been the failure to take advantage
of the great interest aroused by the
U. S. Congress Against War and Fas-
cism and the exceptional possibilities
for building the League Against War
and Fascism in the city," The Draft
Resolution also points out our short
comings in the application of the
United Front tactics. Whom do the
comrades, quoted above, expect to
apply these tactics? Certainly the
Socialist and Lovestoneite leadership
will not do it. Nor will the A. F.

of L. or A. w. P. misleadership make
any efforts in this direction.
If our committee is to be built
into a real United Front Committee,
it must be done by the workers
themselves; by the rank and file in
every organization represented, as
sisted and led by our comrades who
best understand how to fight war
and fascism; by arousing the work
ers to struggle for their daily need.
If our comrades lag behind and wait
for someone else to give the commit
tee leadership. it will certainly be
paper organization and will remain
one.
There is another recent experience
to which I desire to call attention.
AS delegate from my unit, I at
tended the convention of the new
Waterfront Concentration Section
on the West Side. When I read
the Section Draft Resolution I no
ticed that no mention was made Of
the League Against War and Fas-
cisn; and this seemed to me to be
an omission. I knew, however, that
the Draft Resolution was in no way
a final document and I expected
that the leading comrades would
speak of building the League, in
their discussion.
Because of this expectation and
because, as new Party member, I
felt that I could learn more by lis
tening then by speaking. I did not
take the floor myself. now recog-
nize my error. In the entire discus
sion the League was mentioned only
once and then very briefly. The
comrades spoke again and again of
the Importance of marine in the
struggle against war and fascism but
not once was the task of building
the League mentioned. While I
recognize fully the importance of
the day to day struggle on the
waterfront, I believe that the failure
to tie up the League Against War
and Fascism with the work and to
make provision for the building of
the League represents a serious
oversight.
