Offer Clean Flag to
Olympia Police Dept.

Yelm, Wn. May 2-The Daily Oh
ympian reported that the American
flag carried at the head of the May
Day parade in the capital city, by
orders of Chief of Police Cushman,
and furnished to the marchers by
the police department itself, was a
soiled and weather beaten one.
Whereupon many citizens of Yelm
assembled at a meeting in the ev-
ening, expressed regrets in the form
Of a resolution to the Daily Olym-
plan and the Olympia Police De-
partment, that Chief Cushman was
unable to supply to the workers a
flag that would not draw the sneers
of the Daily Olympian. and offered
to loan the p. d. one for future &C.
casions.

Absent in Time Of Danger
The last three days, at a crucial
point in the strike, Hunter, presld-
ent of the WMU, instead OF being
In the lead of the strike on the pick
ct lines, went TO Seattle to collect
money for relief. Pots Pasquan'
leader of the WMU and chairman
of a local, didn't even show up TO
unicn meetings.
The UMWA leadership is taking
full advantage of this policy OF
Hunter Pasquan, etc. Every worker
who gets a job must joint the UNI
WA again. They must pay $lo'oo
Initiation fee, and sign a slip OF pa
per promising to pay all assess
ments. These assessments figure In
the thousands of dollars, the UNI
WA lost when the miners left that
fake leadership of the UMWA and
organized the Western Miners IN
ion. The mine bosses are going ar
ound with the organizers Of the
UMWA making the miners sign
the check-off.
Rank and File Must Unite
At this crucial moment or the
strike when the policies of Hunter
are the same as the United Mine
Workers leadership and the coal
operators, the miners must take de-
cisiye steps to correct their mis-
takes, by permitting Hunter and
Pots Pasquan to continue further
their class collaboration policy
which Is disastrous to the strike
and to the miners in the field. Ev-
cry local of the Western Miners
Union must Immediately repudiate
the line of the Western Miners lead
ership, set up rank and file strike
committee in the union and in the
mine, and organize mass picketlng'
Locals Of the United Mine Workers

front committee must be organized
between the rank and file of the
Western Miners Union and the IN
tied Mine Workers of America. Only
a reputation of the misleaders by
the United Mine Workers and the
Western Miners Union rank and
file, and a united front of the min
ers will win the strike.

lid SECRETARY DRIVEN FROM
FIELD FOR ARRANGING
MINERS DEFENSE

Seattle, Wn., Apr. 30-"Remem-
Der Yakima and Boskaljon-that Is
what you are in for" said the Ros-
Ign police to Revels Clayton when
they had him under arrest at Ros-
Ign Sunday, but the tenacity of the
English visitors accompanying him
prevented them from carrying out
their threat. Clayton Is district sec
rotary of the International Labor
Defense.
Arrested in Roslyn when he went
to the Western Miners Union Hall
(Which was locked) with professor
and Mrs. Hugh'sjones, of Oxford
University, England, who are MAX
ing a survey of labor conditions in
America, Cayton was taken to the
Gle Elum Jail in a side car.
In the Jail, Cayton was grilled
for five hours by authorities while
Vigilantes peered in at the windows
and finally came in and looked him
over.
Two vigilantes sat in front of the
iaiI in a car which was without a
license of any sort. When ques-
toned by the police and again by
Prosecutor Short, Cayton reminded
them that he would hold them re-
sponsible for his safety and that
they were not to turn him out to
the Vigilantes in the middle of the
night. They were very noncommit-
tai in their responses. Short said
''You know | can't help 1t. Things
are so bad here l wouldn't tell a
travelling salesman to come in here.
1 can't help it. Things are out of
my hands"

olympia, Wn., May 2-When over
TWO hundred militant workers of
Olympia began to form in line for
"a march to the Capitol in the May
Day demonstration, although they
mad been refused a permit by the
police department, a police officer
dashed upon the scene carving a
weatherbeaten flag which he thrust
INTO The hands of a worker. Vigil
antes and other representatives of
law enforcement" lined the side
walks.
Two Young Pioneers acted on the
committee which presented de-
mands to Governor Martin and
heard the governor deny the child
rem of the unemployed milk and
hot lunches at school.
Chief Wants to Censor Banners
When the workers applied for a
permit to parade on May Day they
received in reply a list of rules
and regulations from Chief of Po-
lice, Cushman, which limited the
length of the demonstration to for
ty-tive minutes, called for police
censorship of all banners, banned
speaking from the Capitol steps,
and insisted on an orderly" de-
monstration.
At meeting OF over five hundred
workers on April 30 a set of reso-
buttons We're drawn up to be sent
to the governor and the police
chief, protesting against the regu-
lations as being superfluous and
unwarranted and demanded that
they be given a permit to demon
strate as they saw fit.
