BY CARL REEVE

The strike of the twenty-five thou
sand anthracite coal miners refutes
those who believe that "the strike
wave is over" and that there has
been a lull in the sharpening of the
crisis Of capitalism in the United
States. The strike has demonstrated
the correctness of the ANALYSIS of
the recent meeting of the Central
Committee of the Communist Party
Of the United States.
Miners Militancy
In the face of the most thorough
strikebreaking preparations, the rank
and file miners exhibited deep 60
ing militancy, will to struggle that
brooked no interference or damming
up.
The deep going and increasing
rehabilitation Of the workers, sweep
ing away all obstacles, as shown by
the anthracite miners, bears out the
declaration IF the party that "a
new strike wave is maturing through
out the country on the very heels
Of the strike wave of the past YEAR"
The rank and file of the United
Anthracite Miners Union wanted to
strike. They joined the new union
several months ago because of their
complete establishment with the
U. M. W. A. machine led by John
Boylan, president of district No. 1.

worker should be reinstated at once.
Every discharged worker should get
immediate relief for the time not
worked. All workers whose C.W.A.
time has been cut must receive full,
regular wages"
This is the program of the IN

In order to achieve this it is neces-
sary for the C.W.A. workers to set
up Immediately Committees Of Ac-
ton on all CW.A. jobs to organize
the protests. Those fred and those
on the jobs should get together and
carry through mass demonstrations
before the C.W.A. bureaus and at the
city halls. The united action of the
employed and unemployed should i'm
mediately be expressed in city-wide
demonstrations kilograms and let
tiers of protest against the Roosevelt
curtailment should be sent in at once

"The Unemployed Councils demand

content. It was called in direct op-
position to the instructions Of the
federal government.
The strike bears out the statement
Of the Communist Party resolution
that, Already the strike wave of
1888 showed clearly defined poll
tical character, throwing workers
into the struggle against the N. R. A.
In the developing strike wave, this
political character, as directed
against the N. r. A. and the A. F.
l.. burocracy, is already much more
pronounced, and will still further
develop"
Two days before the strike, the
National Labor Board issued de-
cision that the strike must not take
place, that it is Gin direct opposi-
ton to the whole recovery program"
As much as the misleaders OF the
Anthracite union, Thomas Maloney,
district president and Rinaldo Cap
pellini, state president, tried to cover
up this fact, the rank and file saw
more and more clearly that the
Roosevelt government was engaged
In open strikebreaking activity even
before the strike began. The Scranton
Republican, as we'll as the anthracite
boss press as a whole, termed the
strike illegal" and OUTLAW"
The state government, headed by
Governor Pinchot, openly came out
with its full strikebreaking force even
before the strike began. Pinchot
made public statements outlawing
picketing and strike activity.

entire available state police force

Guild Formed by Hotel Bosses
Is Dues Racket and Scab Nest
Geneva Branch Finally Reyolts and Blocks Attempt
At New Assessment
by a Food Worker Correspondent

(By a Food Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK-The Hotel Associa-
ton, using the crooked officials of
fraternal organizations as their tools,
tried new trick recently to further
enslave the workers of the hotel and
restaurant industry. Through wonder
full promises the faithful servants Of
the hotelmen induced the member
ship Of several fraternal organizations
in New York City to affiliate with the
Federation of Hotel and Restaurant
Guilds. They promised the workers
paradise on earth for their support
Of the Guild.
This happened about four months
ago, when the workers of the hotel
and restaurant industry started a
militant organization to better their
miserable conditions.
And now, only last Wednesday, the
Guild sent a telegram to all the strik-
ing Waldorf workers calling upon
them to scab.
The Guild was formed with a con-
stitution which gives the workers no
right to say anything about their
own affairs. Everything is up to the
officials, who are the bosses agents.
During its four months of existence
the Guild did not call one single
membership meeting, but its officials
made bargains with the bosses on the
hide Of the workers without the work
ers' consent and without even con-
sulting them. These agreements call
ed for even worse conditions than
those previously existing in the in
dustry.
The workers finally realized that
the Guild is nothing else than the in
strument of the bosses, and their only
privilege Is to pay the $50 a week
salary to the secretary, Anthony Ray,
a former restaurant owner, who gave
up his business in order to become
a tabor representative. Selling the
workers into slavery to the bosses
would bring him a better income
than his restaurant, he figured.
New Assessment Defeated
Last Monday night, at the mem
bership meeting of the International
Geneva Association-the largest affi-
late organization of the Guild-the
betrayed workers put up a militant
fight against the Guild and defeated
a resolution of the boss-tool officials,
who called for a new assessment for
the support of the boss Guild and the
fat salaries of the Guild officials.
How good the Geneva members
Judgment was in defeating the Guild
was further proved when on Wednes-
day morning all the striking Waldorf
workers received a telegram from the
Guild calling upon them to scab. This
action openly exposed the strike
breaking role of the Guild and It's
crooked officials. All honest workers

John L. Lewis and the Tnterna-

resolutions introduced proclaiming the
miners right to strike to enforce and

Lewis, in his report, omitted entirely
the problem OF the unemployed. Local

declares: "The N.R.A. has failed to

bers, which includes the Henry and

and joined the strike movement, as
did the Exeter colliery, U. M. w. A.
with 700 men, and others. Later
the Harry E and Forty. Fort miners,
U. M. w. A., took similar action.
The rank and file of the U. M. w. A.
took this action in the face Of the
fact that the U. NJ. w. A. machine
of Boylan has been the biggest
strikebreaking weapon in the hands
of the coal companies, acting as open
scab herders for the operators.
Role Of Union Misleaders
1.-THE masses are beginning to over
come the great illusions which they
had in the New Deal and which we're
furthered and greatly strengthened
by the support given to Roosevelt by
A. F. L., social fascist, and liberal
leaders," says the c. c. resolution
of the party. Certainly the over
coming of these illusions, and the will
to strike, were strongly evident in
the anthracite situation, despite these
social-fascist misleaders in both
unions.
Strike Outlawed
The sharpening of the crisis, as
analysed by the Communist Party
G. G. resolution, is evidenced also in
the fact that even before the strike
began the forces Of the coal oper-
ators, the government, both state and
national, and the U. M. w. A. Of
