When the women appeared on the
picket lines, the police at once had q

more militant. The women are fight

Women Martyrs
In Illinois the Women's auxiliarieS
Of the Progressive Miners have e
splendid record. In Franklin, Will
hanson and Christian Counties the
women were in the fight. In the
fight for unemployment insurance
and for relief the women took their
place in the fight. These women have
also had their casualties. Mrs. Gull
meratto was murdered by the Pea
body thugs in Kincaid, III. Others
were beaten and jailed.
In Illinois the women also took an
active part in the fight against the
sell-out policies Of their leaders The
women we're actually in the fore

In the National Miners Union, the
women have the most rights. They
are represented on all committees Of
the union. During strikes the women
are active members Of the strike com
mittees. The same is true Of the
relief, defense and other committees.
In the coming convention Of the
UM.W.A. the rank and file opposi-
ton must remember the fighting
qualities of the women Of the mining
fields. There they must fight for the
seating Of the women delegates with
equal rights. Also fight for the or
ganization of the auxilaries in all
local unions and at once start organ
izing these women. In this way. We
will have the active help Of the wom-
en- in the fight against the coal oper-
ators, the NR.A. and the Lewis ma
chine. The fight will be carried on
in the spirit Of Mother Jones, Mother
Bloor, Fanny SellinS and Mrs. Cul-
meratto.

N. J. Hotel Strikers Face
In junction Threat as
Strike Remains Strong

LAKEWOOD, N. J., Jan. 8.-While
they succeeded in settling a number
of hotels as a result Of their general
strike called New Years Eve, many Of
the resort hotel workers here con-
tinue on strike Police have been ac-
tive in molesting the workers and
arresting active strikers.
The latest to be arrested is Ben
Kay, who is working in settled shop.
Kay is being held on the complaint
of scab cook who claims that she
was threatened by Kay.
Unable to break the strike up to
the present the bosses are preparing
the grounds for an injunction against
the Resort Hotel Workers Union,
which is leading the strike. In one
shop they attempted to Force the
workers to sign a statement admitting
that they were coerced into striking.
This maneuyer was rejected by the
workers.
The strikers have won the SYM
pathy of the residents and q large
percentage of the vacationists. Relief
is being supplied by the farmers so
generously that one striker stated,
These meals are much better that
the slop we get in the hotels"
The strikers are determined to
carry the strike through to complete
victory and are rallying behind their
union to smash any attempts at in
junction terror.

decided on forming the independent

The new union has launched an
organization drive and is larger now
than previously. At a mass meeting

It was decided that the local re-

Strong sentiment exists among the
workers here for building rank and

ARTICLE II.

PITTSBURGH, Pain prepara-
ton for the International Convention
Of the United Mine Workers. many
local unions adopted resolutions on
womens auXiiarieS. The
rank and file miners state that many
strikes will take place this year, point
out the fighting qualities Of the min
ing women, and call for the organ
izatiOn Of aUXiliaries in every mining
town
In Fayette, Green and Washing
ton County, Pennsylvania, where the
women have organized auxiliaries. the
women are sending large delega-
ton to the convention to fight to be
seated. A real fight is expected on
this question.
In the olden days Of the UM.W.A.,
there were several women organizers.
The best known were Mother Jones,
Mother Bloor and Fanny Sellins. All
three were fighting organizers. Fanny
Sellins was murdered by coal company
gunner during the time Of the great
steel strike. Mother Jones died q
short time ago at the age Of 100.
just before she died sac said she did
not want any towards to touch her
casket. This was said against the
Lewis machine. Mother Jones was
fooled by members Of the Lewis ma
chine like John H. Walker.
Mother Bloor, the other great wom-
as leader Of the miners, is known all
over the country as a leader Of the
workers and farmers, and as one of
the outstanding leaders of the Com
munist Party. The miners know of
the great work Of these woman or
ganizers, and Of the fighting of the
other mining women against the OPP
orators and the Lewis thugs.
Just as the rank and file Of the
miners know Of the value in having
the women organized into auxiliaries,
so do the Lewis henchmen know that
the women are fighters against the
operators, their government and labor
takers. Because of this the labor
misleaders do everything to discour-
age the women and break up their
A WOman's Place
Besides breaking up the auxiliaries,
the Lewis hirelings spread false ideas
among the miners on this question
"a woman's place is in the home"
say these burocrats. "a womans Job
is to cook and take care of the
babies" Il don't want my wife
fighting for me, III fight for the wife
and kids" add these people. Every
miner heard these arguments put for
ward by the Lewis followers in the
local unions.
The miners know differently. In
the 1927 miners strike many women's
auXiiaries were organized. The first
one was organized in BENTON, Pa.
Later these spread to HarmarYille,
Kinloch, Barking, North Bessemer
and other places in the Allegheny
Valley Of Pa. They then spread into
other districts.
While U.M.W.A. organizers-nder
pressure Of the rank and file-started
to organize these axiliaries, once
the women were organized they at
once took up the fight against the
Lewis machine. The women were
very honest and knew what Lewis was

4. The Press, the daily papers and
the periodicals, Of the Federation re-
quire the special attention of the
Buro. Here a decisive line must be
adopted which leads toward trans
forming the entire press into popu-
lar mass political papers. Without
weakening, but on the contrary,
strengthening the press as the agita-
ton, propagandist and organizer of
the movement (the Federation and
the Party a real popular mass Ian
guage must be developed, special
features introduced more photo
graphs and illustrations used, etc.
The narrow sectarianism of the
press, expressed in the inner Party
approach to questions, must be quick
ly overcome. To accomplish these
changes workers advisory commit
tee must be set up and around each
paper which will regularly meet with
the editors and encouraged to criti-
cally examine the contents and the
approach to problems presented in
each issue. Workers and farmers
correspondence must be increased in
all of the papers. All tendencies to
hquidate one of the daily papers,
either the Tyomies or the Eteenpain.
must be combatted and defeated as
contrary to the line of the Political
Buro.
Overcome Fractional Tendencies
5. The Political Buro particularly
stresses the necessity of overcoming
all group and factional tendencies
and the establishment throughout the
Federation of a truly collective lead
erShip. Despite considerable. progress
in overcoming past differences and in
unifying the leadership, there still
remain certain remnants of the past
which must be decisively combatted.
These tendencies still reflect efforts
to speculate on non-existent political
differences in the Buro, to under
mine the authority of Comrade John
son and the Finnish Buro. etc. An
example Of these tendencies is the
conduct of Comrade Leo Mattson.
