is that these operations are attended with
frequent and serious disasters through
the incompetence of those thus engaged.
The workings, whether old or new, are
inadequately protected from caving and
casualties have mounted to q high point
throughout the area. A veritable reign
of terror exists in some sections.
This stolen coal is distributed through
unlawful channels. 1t is sold within an
area of $50 to 800 miles of the mines. The
low prices at which this so-called boot
leg coal" is sold result in the bankrupting
of lawful dealers, Others having turned to
the sale of substitute fuels and some even
buying and selling this stolen product.
Much of the stolen coal is of poor quail
ity and consumers have turned to substi-
tutes. Thus the legitimate anthracite
industry has been placed in jeopardy.
This is indeed a fantastic situation,
which has grown out of an early toll
erance with the practice of unemployed
miners who pilfered coal to heat their
homes. These minor thefts have now
developed into a racket. Local law en-
forcement officers have been slow and
lax, and in some cases have refused to
intervene. Grand juries have refused to
indict and where indictment has oc-
CURED local juries have refused to con-
vict. Angry mobs have prevented the
eviction of the thieving operatives. A
veritable state of anarchy prevails, the
outcome of which it is now impossible
to foresee and which meanwhile is giving
the State Of Pennsylvania one of the most
serious problems in It's history.

The more radical group in the New
Deal is uneasy over this newest appear
ance of a turn to conservative quarters
for advice. They are saying that the
President will overdo his attempt to pla-
cate business men and will start losing
support in left-wing quarters, where he
must look for the votes to assure re-
election.
At the moment the conservatives in
the New Deal are up and the radicals are
down, rejecting changes in presidential
strategy. What the next major turn will
be remains to be seen, but its direction
more than likely will be back toward the
left-wing point Of view.

String Pulling.
A row Of marionets I had.
I strung them on a line.
In a performance, good or bad,
The prompting still was mine:
The characters they'd represent
Would range from serfs to kings.
I got. to my great discomfort,
A tangle in the strings.
I tried to show q shepherdess:
A "vamp" stepped out with grace.
I pulled hero in distress;
A pirate took his place.
My play was simply tommyrot,
Which a discordance brings,
And all because I somehow got

on pIanneQ foreign trade.
Mr.. Hull is an old-fashioned, conserva-
tive foreign trade advocate, who believes
that the freer the trade the better. His
interest is in scrapping weapons that the
world has created during recent years to
fight trade battles. Tariffs to him are
iniquitous.
President Roosevelt, who has been sold
on planning of various sorts for internal
commerce and agriculture, is siding with
Mr.. Hull on laiSsez faire for foreign COM
merce. His approval of the trade agree
ment with Canada and his interest in the
negotiation of other agreements aimed
at breaking down barriers against COM
merce through the world represent tri-
umph for the Secretary of State.
Those agreements are bitter medicine
for Mr.. Peek.
The President has endeavored to keep
this official feud in check by having his
former trade adviser study the working
Of the Canadian agreement and report to
him on its effect. Mr. Roosevelt actually
is convinced that Canadian-American
trade will double under the agreement in
a relatively short period.
Left-wingers are grumbling, too, about

noiselessly out of the side door and
went home. She was choking with
hurt and modification.
She had never in her whole life
been so bitterly wounded in her pride,

she paced back and forth for hours,

that 1t was James fault, not hers,

Certainly Jane was both charming
and stimulating and very patient with

was correspondence cast down and

Mrs. Plumber was one Of the most
popular women In the D0niphan

bors, the greatest hand in sickness.
James knew the reason for his de-

herself. James had not the courage
to blurt out the truth to Jane. What

James continued failure. He had
promised her when he married her
to take her away from New Concord.
He had asked her to be patient, TO
give him q little time.
Hadn't she been patient? Hadn't
she? For eight years she had smiled
and endured and worked her fingers
to the bone, putting up front, max
ing a penny do the work of q dollar,
entertaining his friends, pretending,

shadow, that he was successful.
And all the time James was con-

was supposed to be an orator. And
the only ones he could corral to listen

Americas long record of violence
where Negroes are concerned and
the ease with which politicians have
In the past ridden to power by race
batting indicate that American Fas-
cists may find the issue the very one
they r looking for in an effort to
get a mass base.
Another danger sign is the fact
that Their is already an extensive
anti-Negro Ii erature which the Fas-
cists are utilizing. The newspaper
in question recommends "for a better
understanding of today's political
problems" the works of Lothrop
Stoddard and Madison Grant, books
which set out to prove that Negroes
areinferior and that America is a
white mans country.
In an effort to check this new
campaign the Anti-Nazi Federation,
Sc West 18th street, New York, is
making an effort to acquaint Ne
groes with the facts and is laying
plans to build up organizational
means to combat it.
"Fa~cism uses the so-called facial
issue to gain mass support although
in essence it is a movement to prop
up the existing order and maintain
present inequalities Of wealth. June
Croll, secretary of the Fedora ion,
points out.
The extent to which this particular
group of Fascists has been able to
get a following is difficult to es- j.
mate. The paper has been pub
lished for the past three months and
it has missed no opportunity to car
ry On its propaganda since tina time.
Negroes ire attacked constantly
side by side with Jews. Every de-
mand of Negroes for better condi-
tions is twisted to make it appear
that Negroes are seeking better con
ditions at the expense Of the whites,
An odd feature of other Fascist
groups has been the consistent effort
to set Jews and Negroes to hating
each other.
"Nothing could be more dangerous
than for these two minority groups
to fall into the error Of fighting each
other" Miss -Croll believes. Both
are desi lined to be victimc of Fascist
attacks and inter-group warfare will
play into the hands of those who hope
to Cypress both Negroes and Jews.

Ant Negro Drive
Opened By
American Fascists

New York, July II, (By Loren Mil
Ter for ANP)-Apparently determ-
ined to bolster up its cause by appeal
to existing racial prejudice, a group
of American Fascists, with head
quarters in New Yark, has coupled
its anti Semitic campaign with a Vi
scious attack on Negroes and an open
call to whites to "claim America for
the white man."
The organ of this group, the Amer
lean Bulletin, is openly sympathetic
with Hitler and its masthead carries
the Nazi swastika. dts slogan is
America for the Americans" and it
boasts that it presents "the white
mans viewpoint"
The June "a isue of the paper
minces no words in an attack on Ne
groes and Jews. eve see absolute
ly no reason why the white mans
labors should be utilized continually
for the plrpose of sustaining Jews
and Negroes" one of the editorials
reads. "There can be no equality
where different races-live side by
side," reads another paragraph
Acute observers here see in this
campaign the opening guns in a drive
that may reach wide proportions un-
less vigorous steps are taken to
check it. They point out that al
though attacks on Jews are popular
attacks on Negroes in America will
reach an even wider audience.
