STRIKE OF 100000
MINERS CALLED OFF
BY FAKE LEADER

WASHINGTON, D. c., June ID.
John L. Lewis ordered the coal
strike of 100000 bituminous coal
miners, scheduled to begin Sunday,
called off today, following con-
ference with President Roosevelt
and the coal operators.
Lewis agreed to extension of the
present "truce" until June 80. This
means that the coal operators have
two weeks more to prepare coal
reserves.
Many local unions had voted that
the strike demands should be for
the six-dollar day scale, the six
hour day, five-day week and full
recognition. But Lewis has put all
his efforts into trying to get the
Guffey bill passed, instead of pre-
pairing the strike.
Wages Low at Present
The present agreement, now ex-
tended for two more weeks, has
maintained the wage scale of five
dollars for over a year and half,
while in that period the cost of
living of the miners has risen
twenty-five per cent.
! Lewis, in calling off the strike,
stated, ''The president suggested
that in the public interest he would
request operators and miners to
extend the status QUO of the pres
ent wage agreement until June &c
and save the country the inconven-
fence of a suspension in the min
ing industry. The extension was
based on the hope that congress
will enact the Guffey measure
Mr.. Roosevelt is for that meas.
ure."
Guffey Bill No Aid to Miners
The Guffey bill, backed by the
coal operators and Roosevelt as
well as by Lewis, would set up &
bituminous coal labor board which
would have the power to decide OF
union representation through cleo
tons supervised by the board
Since the board would be appoint
ed by Roosevelt, it would enable
the coal operators to increase theil
domination over unions.
Lewis thus backs a bill which
would not give the coal miner,
anything, and which will aid tn,
coal owners to increase their pro
fits. Meanwhile Lewis refuses Il
prepare the miners for strike TO
, their demands.

Unemployed Workers
Receives Education

COPENHAGEN, Denmark -(FP)
Denmark's unemployed workers
have had an opportunity to attend
workers schools this season on
unemployment insurance funds.
Some 200 unemployed industrial
workers have attended labor
schools at Esberg and Roskilde.
The state makes grants to these
schools, and the local authorities
also lend assistance through sub
sides. Supplementing such regu-
lar assistance given to many edu-
cational institutions, the unem-
ployed worker may apply to the
government for scholarships to
attend workers school.
To Study Social Problems
Thus workers may undertake
the study of trade unionism, po-
litical problems, and the co-opera-
tive movement-all important ev-
eryday questions-without concern
over their economic difficulty
knowing that their scholarships
have been paid, that they have
some extra spending money, and
that the period of unemployment
insurance will be extended an ex-
ira five months to cover attend
ance at school.
Recently workers at these
schools celebrated the coming into
power of workers party in the
third Scandinavian country, Nor
way. With the Social Democratic
Party in power in Denmark, Swe-
den and Norway, education of
workers is a major concern of the
governments.

AMERICAN YOUTH
CONGRESS SCORES
ACOURT VICTORY

DETROIT, Mich, June 90 After
a six week struggle and protest
actions involving many organiza-
tons, the American Youth Cor
gress scored a great victory here
yesterday, when Judge Robert M.
Toms, ordered the Detroit board of
education to permit the use of
Cass Technical High School for the
Second American Youth Congress
on July A to 7. The ARRANGEMENTS
committee. of rs had to resort to
court action after several vain at
tempts to obtain the school, where
conventions of political parties and
associations are often held.
The board denies the school on
the grounds that Communists will
be among the speakers, that the
State American Youth Congress
which took place in Ann Arbo1
"was under the question" and that
certain technical requirements
we're not met.
Judge Toms ruling went into
details and clearly dispelled the
reasons given by the Board of Err.
ucation. He quoted the late Justice
Holmes, who in a case involving
the principles of Communism, de-
clared that "neonIe have a J-ioh4
to Proletarian Dictatorship and
free speech must De preserved to
give them their chance" He con-
sidered that from ali that has been
brought out in the trial there is
nothing to regard the people spon-
soring the congress as Immoral
or irresponsible"
All youth organizations are ask
ed to send delegates to this Second
American Youth Congress.

. The sheriff acted solely upon
the wishes of the Machine COM
pany, il. Case Co., of Racine Wis.
There was no court order and he
ne was not forced to act. But ap-
parently he had information that
Heiberg was out of the county
for several days; he found the
time opportune and thought he
could give Heiberg a surprise
when he returned. He forgot to
take into consideration the mill
fancy and solidarity of the farm
ers.
He Got there Early
Accompanied by two big trucks
and several men, including the
case Co. agent H. E. Nustad from
Scobey, Madsen appeared bright
and early at the Heiberg farm.
his object was to repossess a COM
pine, a tractor, a plow and a disc
on which the farmer owed money.
Pete Fredricksen, who takes
care of the farm while Heiberg is
away, was ordered by the sheriff
not to leave the place. But Pete
inquired that Madsen had no bust
ness ordering him around and
while the sheriff's men started
loading things he hurried to in
form Gonius Laursen and other
farmers of what was happening.
Farmers Respond
By means of telephone and
grapevine a relatively large group
OF farmers was notified in the
shortest time possible and before
the Loading wa completed they had
gathered at the farm, immediate
nelghbors and even Holiday farm
ers from McCabe were present.
In the meantime, however, the
sheriff also had been busy. He had
realized that he could not get
away with things as well as he
thought he could. He had tele-
phoned his boss, undersheriff Muir
ray, and had asked him to bring as
many deputies as he could get a.
hold of, and to hurry.
Fire Dept. Refuses
Murray did. Among those who
followed his call were Bob Ferris,
Albert Void, John Stahlberg,
Kemp Hughes, of course, and Pud
Marsh, all of Plentywood. They
were properly armed with black
jacks and what not and were
promised So each for their work..
The undersheriff had also tried to
enlist the services of the Plenty
wood Fire Department in his noble
cause. He was refused, however,
by Martin Nelson, the fire chief,
who either had a change of mind
or else remembered the busted fire
hose of a year ago.
When Gonius Laursen asked the
sheriff what he was up to now,
Madsen tried to tell him how sorry
he was. He was nearly moved to
tears when he explained that this
affair "hurt him badly" but that
he just had to do it. Later, when
a settlement had been reached he
repudiated his sob story and stated
that he would have rather fought
it out with the farmers.
During the argument with the
agent of the company somebody
asked: "How much would it take
