UNABLE to answer a single word
" of the charges made by worker
correspondent from Greenwood, Ark,
about Pearcy and Keck'S dance
around the MIRA, the Progressive
Miner, official organ of the Progress
sive Miners of America in Illinois,
resorts to hysterical TRADE against
the Daily Worker.
The Progressive Miner OF Feb. %
devotes two-column, front page edi-
torial to our Arkansas correspondent.
Facts about the N.R.A. Make PIMA.
Heads Pose as Radicals" was the
headline on the story written in the
Daily Worker by an Arkansas miner.
The Daily Worker correspondent
then gives the facts.
They must have Stung Pearcy and
Keck to the quick, for the answer ig-
nores them and proceeds to a tor
rent of abuse and lies, and self-con-
tradiction that will convince no
miner.
Again we are confronted with the
insidious propaganda and treachery
of the agents of MONEY POWER,
better known as the Communist
Party, U.S.A.," writes the Progressive
Miner.
Every worker knows that the capt.
talistS throughout the world direct
their main attack against the Com
munists, that the war-mad capitalist
powers leave no stone unturned in
their effort to destroy the Soviet
Union, where the Communist Party
led the workers and peasants to a
victorious overthrow of the money
power. Furthermore, Pearcy and
Keck, in common with John L. Lewis,
Matthew Vol, william Green and
other A. F. of L. leaders never lose
an occasion to revile and Islander the
Communists because they expose the
corruption Of these nisleaders and
their support to capitalism and
against the workers.
DOTH William Green and Matthew
- Vol have urged Roosevelt to out
law the Communist Party because 1t
urges the workers to strike and or
ganizes for the overthrow of capital
ism and the establishment Of work
ers and farmers rule.
'True, they (the Communists say
nasty things against johnnie (John
L. Lewis" writes the Progressive
Miner, "but everything they do is in
the interest of Johnnie, even to ad-
vising their membership in Illinois
to scab on the Progressives.
The worker correspondent in the
Daily Worker stated: They (the
Progressive Miner attack the Com
munists in Illinois, saying that they
are agents of the National Miners
Union, that they try to get Pro-
gressive miners to return TO work
and scab with the U.M.W.A. This
Is an obvious lie because the policy
of the Communist Party in Illi-
nois Is to work for one rank and file
union.
Every Communist Is deeply in
sympathy with the struggle of the
rank and file miners of Illinois, but
the Communists expose the reac-
ton of Pearcy and Keck, just the
came as they do John L. Lewis and
his many lieutenants."
To this Pearcy and Keck had no
answer except their usual vitupera-
ton and dirt. They know that John
L. Lewis regards the Communists as
his worst enemies because they ex-
pose his strike-breaking, just as they
do Pearcy and Keck's, and for this
reason Lewis has incorporated into
the constitution of the U.MW.A. a
clause prohibiting Communists from
belonging to the U.M.WA. This has
not prevented rank and file militant
workers from organizing the U. M.
w. A. members for a fight against

By Ranting at Daily

Lewis's betrayals and for unity of all
workers in struggle for their de-
mands and real union recognition.
After a column Of dirt-slinging
without one word Of fact or proof, the
Progressive Miner declares: This
Greenwood, Ark, correspondent says
that the Progressive Miner continues
to attack the Communists. That is a
deliberate lie
The Progressive Miners editorial
ends with a historical appeal to the
members of the Progressive Miners
not to ALLOW themselves to be duped
or misled by So-called Communists"
which in itself reveals the great I'M
easiness Of the Pearcy and Keck ma
chine.
TOGETHER with Lewis, Matthew
Vol, and William Green, these
misleaders of the Progressive Miners
of America are intensifying their at
tack on Communists and militant
rank and file members because they
are calling for a united front of all
miners in common struggle against
the coal operators and their agents
like Lewis, Maloney, Capellini, Pearcy
and Keck.
Their editorial is a tribute to the
effectiveness of our miner CORE
Spondent in Arkansas, where the
miners have just held an autonomy
convention and so locals participated
in electing their own officials against
the orders of John L. Lewis.
The Progressive Miner is resorting
to the trickery of company stool
pigeons and all agents of the bosses
who want to split the ranks of the
workers in order to preserve the pie
cards Of the Pearcys and Kecks.
These gentlemen have been maneu-
vering with Roosevelt and Governor
Horner to keep the miners from
struggling; have urged them to have
hope and faith in the N.R.A., in
stead of in their own might. And
when the truth comes tumbling
around their ears, and it becomes
more difficult to string the miners
along, they become enraged at the
Communists who exposed them at ev-
cry step and open a blast that for
f1lthiness is worthy Of Lewis himself.

annual Balance Sheet Of

serve Of the nearly 5000 members of
the Russian Mutual Aid Society
which, though in the process of
merging, is not yet formally merged
with the Order.
The financial balance sheet of the
Order as of January 1, 1884, shows
total assets of s545, 203.O3. Of this
amount, S27,SSS.S7 are admitted

''Non-admitted assets" are values
like Office furniture, addreSSographs,
typewriters, files, adding machines,
safes, etc.; the organization spent
money to buy this equipment which
unquestionably represents value. This
value is an asset to be carried in the
books. But this value cannot be adj
mitted as financial resource, because
it cannot be drawn upon to meet
liabilities,

the purpose OF building English
branches.
Social Insurance Campaign
We wish to emphasize once more
the importance of general social in
surance agitation for the building of
our English Section. If all branches
and all leading committees Of our
Order make efforts to cover every
possible workers organizations, and
especially fraternal organizations,
with the propaganda for social in
sIrance, we will acquaint hundreds
of thousands of workers with our
Order and thereby increase its re-
cruiting possibilities.
In connection with this campaign.
we ask all branches and City Central
Committees to initiate and follow up
an energetic campaign to have our
Social Insurance Bill CHR. Bill 7598)
as introduced in Congress, discussed
In all workers organizations. but
especially in our branches. The pur-
pose of the discussions in all in
stances should be to win the workers
for the support of this Bill and to
have these workers express this sup
port by a telegram to the Congress
man of their territory, and to william
P. Connery, Jr.. Chairman of the
Committee on Labor of the House of
Representatives in Washington, D. c.,
demanding that this Bill be reported
out to Congress and be passed.

STATEMENT OF SECTION COM
MITTEE

Section 8, District 8, Chicago, Ill.
HENRY LABEAU joined the Com
munist Party, July 1882, Unit 804;
'--,--'0'''v a ~,en1be~ of the IW.W..
S.P. and other movements, real
estate salesman by profession.
In the early part Of 1888, being a
member of the Unemployed Coun-
ellis, he undertook to organize the
Small Home owners in Chicago. The
economic crisis has hit hard the small
home owners. Foreclosures and evic-
tons of these were numerous and
they are seeking an organization that
will be able 20 protect them from
los'rq their homes and their in
vestments.
The majority of these small own
erS are workers who were unen-
ployed. Many of them are on re-
lief. They were looking forward to
an organization that would militantly
defend the'~ Interests. Their ex-
perience in the Unemployed Council
has taught them that an organiza-
ton with militant class struggle
program and character can serve
their purpose.
However, in the formation Of the
Illinois Small Home and Land Own
ers Federation, the program present.
ed by our comrades under the lead
ership of LaBeau was of the worst
op7c~'"-7is+ lenarstic, nature. In
stead Of giving this movement class
st'''r~'es chor" cter linking up its
struggles with those Of the rest Of
the workers, the tendency Of LaBeau
was to completely separate this move
ment from the class struggle, leav-
ing the forma ion of the character Of
this movement to lawyers with their
pure legal aspect Of court fights and
proceedings.
That such a program is detrimental
to the interests Of the small home
owners is obvious. Such program

How the Order Stands

In accordance with requirements,
we have prepared financial state
ment of the International Workers
Order. The balance sheet Of the Order
as Of January 1, 1884, is a monument
to the growth and strength of our
organization.

Section 8, Chicago, has for long
time been contending with strong
right wing tendency existing among
certain section OF the Party mem
bers, which expressed itself very
cr1ldely in the small home owners
organization, which is led by Party
members, who are known as outstand-
ing comrades in the section. This
was reflected in an attempt, which
was very nearly successful, to con-
vert the Small Home Owners Fedora
ton into purely legal organization,
which made its appeal to the small
section of small home owners who
belong to the petty bourgeoisie, over
looking the fact that the majority
of small home owners are unemployed
workers.
In the struggle against this right
wing tendency, the District Buro,
found it necessary to expel one of the
leaders of this organization from the
Communist Party. The statement of
the Section Committee is printed
here, because the experience Of this
Chicago section in connection with
the Small Home Owners Federation
has lessons for the entire Party.
