(The (Madison) Independent Press)
There is no necessity to resort to
any of the mud-slinging tactics in
urging the defeat of the skeleton Of
the Republican party, now sitting in
the state capitol and throwing monkey
wrenches into the plans of Gov. Olson
We refer to Stafford King, our pres
ent state auditor; Secretary of State
Mike Holm, and julius A. Schmahl
state treasurer. We repeat that no
mud-slinging is necessary in defeat
ing them. They have proved them
selves to be round pegs in square

ecutive council that will cooperate
with him, or he can not be held &C

STRIKE WAVE AGAINST NEW DEAL" SWEEPS NATION
Birmingham Western Union Office
Suppresses 'Daily" Wires On Strike

While the New York capitalist press
maintains silence on the bitter strike of
the Negro and white miners in Alabama,
the Birmingham Office of the Western
Union Telegraph Company has emerged
as a censor of news Of this tremendous
labor struggle now convulsing the South.
In this it is undoubtedly doing the bid
ding of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany.
A Geographic message just received
in New York reveals that the Birming-
ham, Ala, manager of the Western Union
refused to transmit two Geographic dis
patches to the Daily Worker from its cor
respondent in Birmingham. A suspicion
that the kilograms were being suppressed
by the Western Union was confirmed
when the editor of the Daily Worker got
in telephone communication with the
DAILY" correspondent in Birmingham
and learned that the latter had wired
last-minute news developments in the
strike, with it's attendant reign of terror.
These dispatches, however, were never re-
ceived in the editorial offices of the Daily
Worker
The Daily Workers demand for an ex-
PLANTATION, brought the following message
from a Mr. Pinkard, Birmingham man
ager of the Western Union:

With DOckers

SAN FRANCISCO, May AL
though the International Seamen's
Union refuses to call strike, six
teen ships and an unknown num-
Der of steam schooners are striking
under the militant leadership of the
Marine Workers Industrial Union
here in support of the longshore-
mems strike.
Yesterday 5000 striking longshore-
men and their families, Joined by
striking seamen and hotel cooks,
paraded to the Civic Center here,
where $4,000 met in an enthusiastic
demonstration.
Despite the opposition Of Mike
Casey, one of the union leaders,
teamsters of this city voted not to
handle cargo for the waterfront.

Levine of the striking cooks pledged
their solidarity with the strikers.
William Lewis, district president
of the International Longshoremen's
Association, was supposedly in con-
ference and did not attend the
demonstration.
Protested Brutality
The meeting unanimously pro-
tested police brutality. Yesterday
several windows were broken when
police provoked demonstrators at
Fink Hall. The workers defended
themselves. The casualties up to

NEW YORK.-The story
of bloody terror against the
striking ore miners near Biz

special deputies and the National
Guard modified against the strik-
ing miners" Brodsky told the Daily

is raising the color line and the
red scare in order to demoralize
the strikers and drive them back to
work"
Despite the organized campaign
Of the press, whose policies are con-
trolled for the most part by the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company,
wave of sympathy for the strik-
ers swept over the city of Alabama
following the killing of four Negro

ported
Negro, White Unity
THE unity of the Negro and
white workers is what infuriates the
Southern bosses and their press
most of all" the I. L. D. attorney
said. Holding up a batch OF South
ern newspapers, Brodsky exclaimed:
Look at these headlines and edi-
torials, and see how the white rulers
of the South have become terrified
at the spectre of Negro and white
miners organizing together in one
union!" A symbol of the growing
unity of Negro and white, Brodsky
continued, is the fact that the min
ers have elected Negro as vice
president of their union.

STRICTLY PROPAGANDA SIGNED
PINKARD.
In the present situation the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company is carrying on
striking workers, but is attempting to
suppress news of the strike in order to
prevent the men from getting the solidar-
ity and support from the thousands of
workers throughout the United States,
who would be stirred to action by the
stories of persecution and terror in the
South.
How will the Newspapers Publishers
Association, with its hypocritical declara-
tions about the necessity for Safeguard
ing the freedom of the press" greet this
action of the Birmingham Office of the
Western Union Telegraph Company?
Added to the issue of the workers
rights to strike and picket that is every
where being challenged by the bosses, is
now the threat to the workers press.
These are the methods of Hitler in Nazi
Germany, where the labor movement was
suppressed, where strikes were crushed
in blood, where press services were placed
under the Hitler censorship, opposition
newspapers suspended and editors jailed
Are we going to permit this same
course to be taken in the United States :?
The workers must answer with an en-
phatic mop
