Welfare Helping to Drive
Miners Into Company Union

they began to quit the real union.
The men should not, however, quit
the union, but stay in, attend all
meetings, and build up a powerful
rank and file opposition that will
be able to take control of the union
away from the takers and mis-
leaders.
Conditions in the mine are
miserable. 1t is really worse than
before our strike last June. The
miners want to do something about
it but the union leaders won't do a
thing to help them. The rotten
'popsickle" union is going too far
here. The worst rats and scabs are
leading it. Jerry Davis, Louis Tar
rant, and Henry Keener are the big
leaders, and Earle Nicks, Fletcher
Nicks, Callie Wallace, Louis Shop

dirty rats are doing their best to
smash the real union mill, Mine
and Smelter Workers Union) and
force lower wages, more speed-up
and worse working conditions on the
miners by their boss-controlled
''popsickle" union.
We must rally the whole union to
stop the bosses from moving the
miners out of the camps. We must
force the Welfare to give relief to
all unemployed miners. We must
have our shop committee demand
that the bosses live up to the June
contract. When the miners see that
our union means to fight they will
all join both white and Negro, for
a mass fight to better our condi-
tons.

Organization Needed
To Better Conditions
In Carbon County
BY Mine Worker Correspondent

BY a Mine Worker Correspondent
HELPER, Utah. Il want the
Daily Worker readers to read about
the situation in Carbon County. In
the coal field, some of the outfits
have put men TO work. Only men
they think are loyal. The money
they make they have to spend in
the company store to support the
outfit.
Now little about w. F. P. U.
Some of these people in relief offices
like to see the people die like the
cattle in the south. They don't re-
alize that nowadays working people
are just as smart as they and more.
Some time back they cut off the
water for some of the people. The
rank and file organizations sent a
committee to see about turning on
the water OF course before the
committee came back the water was
turned on again.
Everybody can learn from this ex-
perience the importance of having
rank and file organizations like the
Carbon County. My advice is to Or
ganize and not to forget to support
our true agitator, the Daily Worker.

witches and they burned cats who
were supposed to be witches in an
other shape. Gradually this too be-
came part of Halloween.
In very ancient times there was
Roman goddess of fruit called
Pomona. In place sacred to her,
gay harvest festival was held,
about October 81. And so apples
and nuts and pumpkins were also
added to our Halloween fun.
This was all before Christianity
Years later when Christianity spread
from Rome all over Europe, it took
the ancient festivals and simply
made them into Christian holidays.
And so the old festival of Samhain
became All Hallow'S Cor all Saints)
Day. And in some parts of Europe
All Saints is an important religious
holiday. But Halloween as we know
1t here and its customs were taken
from the older beliefs of those early
people who lived in England, Scot
land, Wales and Ireland. and in
Central Europe, or Germany. Then
people believed in gods and god
desses. long before Christianity.
So we see that from all these
early beginnings we have our Hal
lowe'en fun. Today we no longer
believe in such things as witches
and ghosts. We know our troubles
do not come from bad spirits float
ing around in the air. The troubles
and misery CT the workers are caused
by the ruling class, the ones who
make the workers slave so that they
the rich, can grow richer.
| So at our up-to-date Halloween

two parts; the beginning of Sum
mer on the last day OF April and
the end of Summer on the last day
of October. Festivals were held at
each of these times, but the most
important one was the end of Sum-
mer. 1t was called Samhain, which
means the death of Summer. Bon
fires were lit. 1t was time of Joy
and thankfulness for the suns good
ness as well as time of grief at
the suns departure. The people be-
lived that at this time, the sun was
in the power of his enemies, the
spirits of Winter Darkness. These
bad spirits were all around on this
night. The people thought that if
they coaxed and bribed the spirits
that they would fortell the future
And because October 31st marked
the beginning of their new year,
this was a particularly favorable
time. That is how fortune telling
came to be a custom at Halloween.
The early people did very little
farming. Instead they kept big
herds of cattle. They left them out
in the fields all Summer. On Oc-
tober 31st they brought them in out
of the cold. Also, the people believed
athat the spirits of the dead wanted
j to come in out of the cold too, and
to visit again their old homes. So
that is how the idea of ghosts came
to be a part of Halloween.
In central Europe, people had very
strong beliefs in witches. Witches
caused all their troubles. They were
responsible for spoiled crops, sick
cattle and unhappiness in general.
They built fires to drive away the

MINE AND SHELTER LOCAL REFUSES TO EXPEL COMMUNISTS
A MINERS VIEW
OF ARBITRATION

into one solid group, headed by a
committee elected from the ranks.
Ditch arbitration, and with a
fighting spirit talk to the bosses in
the language of the majority"
NOTE: What our miner corr
respondent has discovered con-
corning arbitration under the
New Deal tallies with the ex-
perience of thousands of workers
in other industries-in steel, auto,
and most recently in textile, where
sellOutS of militant struggles for
improved conditions and higher
wages were put over by the bosses
through the medium Of referring
disputes to these government
boards, with the active coopera-
ton of the ALL. official bureau
crazy.
Workers m u st recognize that
arbitration is = bosses weapon,
and must fight in all struggles
for the immediate granting of
demands. They must not allow
the referring of disputes to these
arbitration boards, the decision Of
which, postponed usually for
months following the struggle, in
variably leave the conditions of
the workers scarcely (if at all
changed for the better.
Also, as this miner cOrrespOn-
dent points out, any contract won
is only as good as the organized
strength of the union will make
1t. Therefore there is no neceS-
sity for arbitration, if the workers
have definite demands, and mobi-
lie the power to make these de-
mands effective. That is why 1t
is not correct to say that, if we
only had an honest representa-
tive, arbitration m 6 h m e n
something. b e s i d es arbitration
boards also contain a third party,
an impartial" person, who is in
EVERY case a member of the
capitalist class.
The encouragement, given to
the growth of company unions as
result of the weakening of the
independent union frequently
means the worsening of condi-
tiOnS following arbitration. To
fight this, an active struggle must
be carried on against the official
leadership of the AF.L. unions,
which actively cooperate with the
boss government of Roosevelt In
putting over arbitration schemes,
and the building and strength

sition and leadership in the ALL.
