Men Vote to Strik e
When Miners Are
Discharged

50. BROWNSVILLE, pat the
meeting of the local No. 1880 of the
q. NJ. w. A.. last week, it was unani-
mously decided to strike the mine
unless the company agrees to the
following demands.
Reinstatement of two men
fired in January
On the 4th of Jan. local president
and one Of the mine committeeman
were fired for violation Of the state
mining laws. Their crime consisted
in the fact that they went from
place to place to collect from the
miners money to pay the lawyers
that are prosecuting a case against
the Valley Camp robbery in the
company store. This case was
started in the early part of 1888.
The miners wanted to strike i'm
mediately, but one of the fired men,
the local president, who is a 100 per
cent supporter Of John L. Lewis
and Pagan, was responsible for dis
charge of at least 80 men whom he
had expelled out of the local as
Nationals" He prevented the men
from striking because he claimed
strike was illegal and he had a
promise Of Pagan and other U. M.
w. A.. that he will win his case.
He pursued the men to postpone
the strike action until Feb. 10, when
his case was to come up before the
N. r. A. Compliance Board.
We may state in passing that
the Valley Camp Coal Co. violates
the mining laws every moment that
a wheel turns in the mine. So this
excuse in the firing of these
two men is understood by all the
miners as a new means Of blacklist
ing. Finally when the date of the
hearings came on Feb IS they were
postponed to May. OF course, in
MAY the hearings can be again
postponed to Jan. 4. 1885, to cele-
brste the anniversary Of the dis
charge.
Double Cross Action
II then became evident to our
local president that he was a victim
of a Grand double cross by the U.
NJ. w. A. district machine and the
company and he did not discourage
the strike vote; on the contrary he
now clearly saw what we saw the
day that he was fired; that is, that
while he was servile tool Of the
Valley camp and stool pigeoning for
them on all real fighters, he was
o. x, but as soon as he began to
fight against the company store he
IVES slated for discharge and black
list.
2-The Power Question
Recently the coal company pro-
posed a new condition in the mine.
Namely that the men are to receive
2 cents a ton less, and in return
will get free powder and caps. Our
local president and the mine COM
mittee, under the leadership of
VIM. Feeney the new Sub District
Board member appointed, of
course) made this agreement with
the coal company without consult
ing the men. The men were OPP
posed to this change. The men
very logically = figured that any
such proposal of the company was
in favor of the company. The COM
pany was going to save money at
the miners expense. Also since the
company pays the shoot firers, the

followed, said: From now on the

ment is this-accept this offer as it

Thomas Ramsey introduced multi
millionaire Dana, who was cheered
more enthusiastically than Ramsey
himself.
Leafet Exposes SelI-Out
A leaflet issued by the Auto
Workers Union, affiliate of the T.U.

accepted by the workers, who are
angry because of the rank betrayal
Of their strike.

Ramsey give the workers an oppor-
tllnity to say what they thought of
the agreement? Why didn't he give
the girls an opportunity to say how

which is below the code minimum"
The workers were warned to BE
ware of Huge April Fool Joke
We know full well. that once the
employers fulfill their contracts they
will again resort to discrimination,
wage-cuts and speed-up. Ramsey
himself, once promised the bosses
that he will show them how to in
crease speed-up. No wonder Ramsey

HITLER FUTURE
DEPENDS ON
THE MARK
ReiChsbank Statement, Due
July 1920, May Increase
DevaIuation Demands
BY PIERRE HUSS
copyright, 1884, by International
News SerVice)

BERLIN, July S Q.N.S0 S0.-While
many's turbulent political
struggle held the attention of the
world, a silent but no less bitter
and vital battle involving the
financial stability of the nation
was going on today.
The issue involved is the fate OF
the mark. The official future Of
men who have guided Germany's
financial course is at stake.
A decision probably will be
reached sometime between July
is and 20.
Sometime between those dates
the semiannual statement of the
Reichsbank is due to be issued.
This statement will reveal to the
world the real status Of Ger
many's financial affairs.
HOratius at Bridge
1t then will become known, in
all probability, whether the forces
now fighting to devaluate the
mark have won or lost.
DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, president
of the Reichsbank, is now cast in
the role of the "Horatius at the
Bridge" who is fighting to stem
the tide of devaluation sentiment
which, in his opinion, would en-.
gulf the nation in financial ruin.
According to the best information
available, the tide appears to be
swelling.
Pressure for devalution of the
mark comes from within and
without the government, it was
learned. The ministries of finance
and economics favor a develuation
policy. Many important bankers
and industrialists share their
views.
Pressure Increases
Although he has laughed at all
talk of devaluation, DR.. Schacht
is known to be under tremendous
pressure from these sources.
If the Reichsbank statement is
unfavorable, it is expected the
pressure for devaluation will be
increased. 1t was predicted that
DR.. Schacht's resignation would
follow this eventuality.
In banking circles it was indl-
Gated that the first step then
taken would be to devaluate the
mark by about 20 per cent.
This depreciation of the mark,
it was admitted, probably would
be followed by some financial un-
rest which would carry the mark
to an even lower level.
Financial Chaos
Those who advocate devaluation
argue that it is justified by Ger
many's depleted gold reserves.
They contend that, with gold
reserve of only about per cent,
the present value of the mark is
purely fictitious.
Germany, they assert, already is
off the gold standard to all intents
and purposes, and a more realistic
standard of value for the mark is
wholly logical.
