FINLEYVILLE, Pa.-The unem-
ployed situation is becoming more
acute daily in the library section.
The Knot Hole mine employed $50
men in February and has laid off
all but about 80 men. Most of those
kept on are favorites of the super
intendent and pit committee, and
they only work two or three days
each day The check-off continue
at the same rate.
The miners came out once against
the discrimination being shown and
the superintendent announced that
the mine was shut down because
he had no orders, -Four days after,
the mine started again, and all re-
ported for work but found they had
to be rehired as new employees. The
men protested against this and the
mine committee agreed to let all
the latest employed go until the
boss had enough men to operate
the way he wanted to-
incidentally, the pit committee,
being all old employees, were as
sured of their jobs. The. mine boss
and committee went through the
mine and the committee picked out
the men to be laid Off About all
that were laid off we're militant
members of the union.
The union district official, self

committee and superintendent, and

Concretely, the recent meeting Of
our chairmen on June 4 brought
out the following important inroads
already made;
Cd Open-air meetings are being
held, at which money is collected
for our quota for the Paris Con-

New Forces Drawn in

Are Won
By q WOrker CORRESPONDENT

FINLEYVILLE, Pa.-Once more
we have a functioning local of the
Unemployed Council. For a while
here in Finleyville we were con-
fronted with all kinds of provo
csteurs. We had a secretary by
the name Of Fred Merriman who
through his activity with the local
Relief Board almost liquidated our
local, but now we have left such
elements on the side, and by draw
ing in new forces We are able to
accomplish the demands of the
workers, such as an increase in
relief, shoes, clothes, medical at
tention.
This was all won through the
struggle OF the Unemployed Coun-
Gil of Finleyyille and also a 10 per
cent increase in wages on the r. w.
D, So you see, through organized
struggle the workers can and will
win the right to live.

Up to date several groups have
responded favorab bly,. We as a group
also support this conference 100 per
cent. The conditions of the aviation
workers are well known. morgan
lied and consequently unprotected
they have been subject to deplor-
ably inadequate compensation for
their labor. The employers, organ
lied and powerful, have presented
codes that are glaringly unfair be-
cause of the lack Of organized mass
resistance by the aircraft workers
The aviation industry has been
controlled and nlismanaged by trust
flied corporations who primarily are
concerned only with what could be
gained financially from this i'm
portant transportation and war
manufacturing industry.
Technical advancement in expert
operation and the welfare and COM
pensation Of the skilled aviation
workers who design, produce. main
tain and fly all aircraft has not been
considered.
Therefore there is obviously q
desperate need for a National Air
craft Union to unite all existing in
dividual workers aircraft organiza-
tons into one solid industrial union
in the aviation industry.
We as a group wish to submit the
following nine proposals to all
groups concerned. which we believe
would be the only guarantee that
the organization will not be con-
trolled by racketeering officials.
n The purpose of the Ma
tional Organization should be to
unite all aircraft workers, both
field and factory, employed and
unemployed and aircraft students
into one National Industrial
Union; to improve and protect the
economic and political interests of
all aircraft workers.
~ All employers and execu-
tives with the power to hire or
fire should be ineligible for mem
bership.

apolis to expell from the New York
Typographical Union No. 6, 1900
to 1000 suffering, unemployed
members.
Years ago, on account of the
constantly increasing unemploy-
ment the membership had been
forced to reduce the work week to
five days. The five day work week
has been in use for years, in order
to make it possible for the unem-
ployed to obtain one or two days
work a week.
Now, the well-paid union officials,
whose salaries are paid by the toll
! ing workers. have come forth with
plan they claim will benefit the
workers The plan calls for the
abolition of the present practice of
enabling the unemployed to OBJ
tain one or two days work week,
and out Of these days. which until
the present, have been distributed
among thousands of unemployed,
the union officials desire to create
regular five day week situations.
Union officials claim that through
this arrangement they will secure
permanent employment for one or
two dozen men at the head of the
unemployed list. They also claim,
that according to order of time,
these one or two dozen men have
the right to permanent five day
week jobs
Since the basis Of the leaders
plan is falsehood, the bosses propo-
sition collapsed. The union lead
ers do not dare, do not want. and
are not able to Sympathize with
the suffering unemployed. The
union officials desire to ensure the
five day work week to those who
previously always had and still
have the five day work week. They
want to extend aid to those who
have no need for the proposed aid.
to those who do not want and can
not ask for aid.
The aid which the union officials
propose is but wicked plan, to de-
prive thousands from one or two
days work week, to snatch the dry
bread from the mouths of the chill
dren of the unemployed; to give
aid to those few, who neither need
nor ask for it.
The meaning of this plan, which
is the connection of leaders and
foremen, is this: We will pay you
when we have driven 1900 to 1000
members out of the union; we will
thereby thrust into greater misery
the families of the unemployed.

The Workers Child
BY CoMRADE JACKY LAZY

The workers child has nothing to
eat.
He plays all day in the dirty street.
But the rich mans children only
play
Where the air is fresh and clean
all day.
The worker tolls the whole day
through,
The children must go out and sell
papers too,
But the rich mans child gets break
fast in bed,
While the poor kids go without
being fed.
The workers kid can't go to school.
His father is only a bosses tool.
That's why he must toll till the
hours late.
But when it comes to payday he
has to wait.
Meanwhile the kids have nothing to
eat.
They go without clothes in the rain
and sleet.
And at last when the worker gets
his pay,
It's not for week, Just enough for
a dayl
And soon the worker sees something
wrong,
To find out what it is, it doesn't
take long.
They kick out the bosses. one and all.
Everyone of them, big and small.
Now the workers from slavery are
free,
Working all unitedly.
The workers children now can play,
Where the rich kids until this day.

TARRANT, Ala.-About a year
ago the miners of this town started
to unionize themselves, challenging
section IA of the MIRA. Today we
find the task almost accomplished
Last week the local ball team was
to play certain outfit, but another
team come in its place. The team
that came to play came from a coal
mine that is non-union and the To-
cal outfit refused to play them be-
cause they were not union men.
The story is longer than that
though. These miners have tried to
organize, but so far have failed be-
cause of the terror where they work
and the sell-out policy of the U. M.

if they could help him get a place
to move in, They said they were
sorry, they couldn't help him.
We even went to see the district
attorney and he said he was sorry

get advice and assistance to or
ganize an Unemployed Council
