strikers, officials of the Mine Mill

sent sharp protest to various state
and federal officials charging that
deputy sheriffs, without provoca-
ton, turned loose murderous
machine gun fire on unarmed, de-
fenseless pickets near the Red Ore
Mines Of the Tennessee Company"
The Age Herald quotes this mes
sage and declares that labor
craftsmanship in such a crisis calls
for different tactics. 1t calls for
candid facing Of the facts. A large
number Of men are out on strike.
They know little or nothing about
union discipline. They are readily
gulled by agitators, and their very
idleneSs makes easy for them to go
to extremes. There is another
aspect of the matter which should
not be overlooked. The wholesale
unionizing which has taken place
in recent months has included
Negro as we'll as white miners.
AS things have worked out Negroes
have been conspicuous in demon
STATIONS and other activities. What
the arming of people who nurse
their own racial grievances could
lead to must be left to the magma
ton. This is another reason for a
balanced and creative policy on
the part of union leaders"
But just what are canny editors
Of the Age Herald after? Get this:
"Paipably, the most strenuous eff
forts by union officials is to get
everybody back to work"
The 5000 ore miners in Alabama
nearly rs per cent of whom are
Negroes are fighting against a wage
scale which the Labor Board has
tried to impose upon them, as well
as for union recognition. They
are fighting against a wage differ
ential-legalized by the N. R. A.
and personally approved by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. They are fighting
for the right to strike, picket, as
semble and organize-for the ele-
mentary rights of the working class
The sole purpose of the Red
Scare being whipped up by the
Southern capitalist press is to
shift the issue and to break the
strike.
The valiant way in which the
Negro and white miners are fight
ing shoulder to shoulder on the
Alabama picket lines is the best
indication that the southern bosses
will not succeed.

STRIKE MOVES NEAR CLIMAX:
REDS LINKED WITH VIOLENCE

Frankly announcing itself has a,
house organ Of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company and the police
department, the Birmingham News
reports that.
Birmingham police Thursday
we're instructed to redouble their
offensive against Communism with
orders from Chief Holluf11s to raid
their suspected haunts and put the
leaders in jail on any charge we
can make stick
1.-THE chief declared, We intend
to make life so miserable for these
people they'll seek new fields of
operation
"Hollums who declared war on
Communism in orders to his men
Wednesday morning, said the de-
partment is morally certain the
so-called Red organization is
directly responsible for most of the
Jefferson countys industrial un-
rest, and said he has told his men
harass the life out of these peo-
ple.'"
The previous day the Birmin-
CHAM News had blossonned forth
with a f1ve-column headline,
REDS LINKED WITH VIO-
LENCE," from which a drop-head
announced ARRESTED MINERS
BARE COMMAND TO SHOOT
FOR RIGHTS. Self defense be-
ing at least theoretically justified
even in the capitalist courts of the
land, it is difficult to understand
wherein it was criminal to shoot
for rights"
The paper announced that "the
order to wipe out Communism
within the city rang through the
Police Department as Chief Hol-
lums issued a declaration of war
against agitators and propaganda
spreaders. Two detectives were
ordered to devote full time to in
vestigation of Red activities and
every member of the department
was ordered to Jail every Commu-
mist suspect"
THE BIRMINGHAM NEWS-SalQ
to be an enterprising newspaper
also made public the sensational
discovery that investigation showed
one of those arrested Ga Negro
miners. g. has been keeping in
direct communication with groups
in Russia"
Police seem to have been reading
the reports of the Daily Worker,
for the News announces that:
Police are of the opinion Bir-
mingham has been selected as a
central concentration point for
Communist activities because of
the city's industrial nature"
The above, with all the air of
great discovery of a dastardly
crime, is printed in bold face type.
The astute police chief, Hollunns,
has uncovered other sinister plots
according to the Birmingham News,
for the paper goes on to say that:
Chief Hollums pointed out also
that efforts are being made to or
ganize school children. This evil
dence was disclosed, he said, in a
letter discovered in the apartment
raid Where six workers were ar

Guard. "GUARDSMEN TAKE COM

in large type, while lower down in
small type were the words, "Smeiter
Workers Officers Say Pickets in
Disturbances Were Unarmed."
While n at ional guardsmen
armed to the teeth" said the dis
patch, took command of the Red
Mountain ore mining sections,
where guerrilla warfare Tuesday
night resulted in the killing of two
Negroes and the wounding of not
less than eight other persons, events
in the strike of approximately
5000 ore miners moved rapidly to a
climax. -
Describing the guerrilla war
fare" the News reporter wrote in
genuously that due to the dark
ness no aim could be taken, the
officers said, and firing began in
the general direction of the mob.
I ATER on, however, the reporter
Il having forgotten this statement
writes that "it was in this battle
that the two Negroes we're killed
Both we're found dead a short
distance from the scene of the bat
tie. Deputies said one was shot
through the temple and the other
through the heart, both apparently
by pistol or rife fire."
In other words, zone shot through
the temple and the other through
the heart" in spite of the fact that
due to the darkness no aim could
be taken"l
The News reports that none of
the deputies were injured in the
clash" And for the good reason
that the armored car used by the
deputies is built upon railroad
motor car, and has walls of 5 /16
inch STEEL"
According to Brig. Gen. John G.
Persons the national guard is
fairly able" to handle the situa-
ton in the strike area. Persons,
commander of the 62nd Infantry
Brigade, is in command of all the
troops now on duty.
Gen. Persons let it be known in
the Southern press that the guard
is equipped with rifles, automat:,
rifles, gas guns, gas grenades and
machine guns, and has adequate
transportation for moving quickly

" n c n IN lCS
heroic efforts to free itself is also
sweeping away the mystical cob
webs which have kept genius fet-
tered.
Diego Rivera was liberated
from the evil-smeling dungeon Of
capitalist art many years ago. The
revolutionary Mexican working
class turned the key which opened
his cell on Nominate in Paris
where he was imprisoned. In graft
tude he painted a wonderful por-
trait of his loerator-a series of
mural panels showing the power
and strength of the workers. IN
fortunately, the portrait was COM
missioned and paid for by a
scoundrel whose intentions it was
to hatter and cajole Rivera 5
model the better to betray it.
When this treachery became evident,
Rivera's fellow artists packed their
tools and refused to be partners to
it, except Rivera. How does Rivera
explain this in his introduction to
Portrait of America? He gives
the answer by maintaining com
plete silence on this point.
Significant also is his seeming
absent mindedness about the MeXi-
can Revolutionary Syndicate of
Painters, Of which Rivera was
part, and which was responsible
for his transition from a cafe
aesthetic to working class artist,
With similar innocence he omits
all reference to political questions,
and makes it appear that his So
journ in the states was solely the
casual result of a chance visit Of
an old crony, a sculptor, a Mr..
Ralph Stackpoole of San Francisco,
who got him his first job in the U.
S. to decorate the San Francisco
Stock Exchange.
With the same SKILL with which
he arranges his panels, Rivera can
at the drop of hat, compose an
alibi to justify any opportunistic
act. Note with what consummate
skill does he manage to squeeze his
cannel-like bulk through the eye Of
a needle:
The painters intention, Of
course" writes Rivera, must not
lie outside the function Of the place
in which his painting has its being,
else his work will be lacking in
both objective and subjective COR
rectness and truth. In this mural
in luncheon club, I painted the
fruits of the earth which enrich
and nourish because of the pro-
ductive labor of workers and farm
ers. I painted no mortgag e-hold-
ing bankers, or industrial overlords.
or parasitic exploiters-only the
modern workers and discoYerers, as
well as the pioneers and those
brave adventurous guides Of the

the blood thirsty hordes across the
lands defended by the free Indians,
there to become despoiling adven-
turers, prosecutors of Mexicans
populators of the land Of gold; all
those barbarous settlers and entire
preneurs who were as necessary as
the fatal crimes they committed in
the process of Transforming this
new land by industrialization into

convert the Atlantic Ocean into an
