Win Strike
By a Mine Worker Correspondent

BY Mine Worker Correspondent
GALLUP, N. M.-The F.. E. R. A.
strike which was called the first of
the year was ended after seven days
strike, having closed down all jobs,
some of them being as far as thirty
miles from Gallup. The workers
called the strike off after receiving a
twenty per cent increase in their
budget.
The Gallup workers look upon this
as the first victory of the new year.
After the strike was called off, they
started in to build their organiza-
ton still stronger than it has been
in the past. At the same time they
drew up a set of demands to be
wrung from the F. E. R. A. in Gal
lup and called upon all the workers
in the State of New Mexico to unite
with them in this fight.
The Allison Strike is holding out
one hundred per cent. The COM
pany tried several times to work
the mine but failed each time to get
any one to work. The miners. under
the leadership of the National
Miners Union, have decided that the
only way to win a strike is to stay
out till the company comes across.
Mr.. Davy,. State Labor Commits
Sioner, came in to break the strike
but found out after being here two
days, that the old line of takers
like him could not get the miners
back to work. Then he left the city,
stating that everything was o. K.

ENLARGED PORES
Comrade E. w. of BROOKLYN
writes: "The pores on my face are
greatly enlarged, and I cannot seem
to find remedy for this abnormal
condition. I have visited several Of
the city's clinics and I have found
that the aid can expect from them
is practically negligible. The doc
tors are very uncommunicatiVe, and
are frequently prone to sarcasm. I
have received such hopeful sug-
gestions as that of using key to
close the open pores" or of filling
in the openings with Portland Ce-
ment. On one occasion 1 managed
to receive more than advice. The
doctor prescribed a hair tonic, which
later became very useful shoe
polish. 1t merely served to dry my
scalp and multiply the dandruff.
should very much appreciate your
informing me of any medical treat
ment applicable for this condition.
OUR REPLY
Enlarged pores are usually seen in
acne. In this condition lotto alba
or x-rays are given with the in
tention of diminishing the activity
Of the sebaceous (oiD glands and
thus contracting the pores. Where
enlarged pores remain even after
the acne is cured, treatment is
usually of little avail in permanent-
ly contracting the pores. We can
recommend an astringent which
may give some temporary improve
ment: Camphor 100, tincture of
benzoin, $50, concentrated acetic
acid 600 rose water 900. Place one
teaSpoonful of this mixture in a
basin Of water and apply to face
morning and night.
The lack of courtesy and the Sar-
casm of the doctors who examined
you in several clinics is outrageous.
Some doctors, knowing they are be-
ing exploited in hospitals, attend
clinics merely to see interesting"
cases, and unfortunately your con-
dition is not considered interesting.
Other doctors, practically reduced
to starvation level themselves and
unable to understand the economic
set-up which makes their situation
so pitiable, vent their rage on the
clinic patients, who, they naively
believe are the cause Of their
troubles.

cause the local secretary refused to
put the local seal on the creden-
tial.
Billy Hynes, Lewis appointee for
District President of District No. 4,
issued a statement and circulated
letter in which he attacked the
Joint Committee meeting. He
ruled that this meeting, which was
called by forty locals, is illegal and
unlawful" He also notified all the
locals to ignore this social con-
vention" However, this did not
have any effect.
Hynes' circular also served notice
on the captive mine owners, the
Coal Digger, the American Miner
and the Unemployment Councils,
saying that they (the officials of
District No. A were ready to fight

ROMEO, Pa.-Our District Presi-
dent of District No. 4, U. NJ. w. of
A., last week issued fighting state
ment to all the locals in District No
4, also to the public press. How
ever, his statement was an attack
upon the rank and file members of
40 local Unions that are part of
the Joint Committee of District No.
4.
Let us see how he fights the Cap
tive Mine Owners? The Romeo
mine of the H. c. Prick Coal and
Coke, which was closed down since
early spring, is opening up. The
super, Mr.. Calletin, only hires the
members of the Prick Brotherhoods.
Calletin's answer to the union men,
who re-apply for their jobs is:
wait until you are called" Since
the miners know that they will not
be called back, and In order to take
the question up we held a special
meeting Of our local Sunday, Jan.
10.
HyneS Attends
Our local officers asked District
President Hynes to be present. He
did come, and when asked for adj
vice told us the following, ELECT you

them to see super Calletin. If they
do not receive satisfactory answer,
let them go to Scotdale to see MI.
Lynch and Hood" (managers of the
Prick Coz.
A member raised the question of
why should we elect special COM
mittee when we have a mine COM
mittee. Hynes' answer was, Your
Mine Committee would not be rec
ognize because you do not rep
resent the majority here, but by
electing a committee, which will
appear not as a committee of the
U. M. W. of A. but as a committee
selected by individuals to take up
their grievances, you will be able to
talk to Mr.. Lynch and Hood"
Is this talk of a leader, or a
fighter? No, its the belly crawling
method that has brought the
Brotherhood into the Coke Region.

fiery speeches against the enemies

WHEN LENIN DIED, he left be-
hind him a permanent living mon
ument-his Party. During his life
time, he was intensely interested
in clarifying leaders of the Party
on the question of women. He
spent much time ironing out some
of the misconceptions of leading
ing Party members, men and wom-
en-, throughout the world. He was
tireless in seeing that among the
first things the revolution gave, was
freedom to women, the right to cul-
ture, equality with the men.
Is is any wonder that women
throughout the Soviet Union sing
songs about Lenin? -.
LITTLE MORE THAN BEASTS,
were the women before the Revo-
luton. Now thew are technologists,
engineers, writer's, singers working
side by side with the men in the
factories, attending factory schools
all avenues of development and
culture open to them. At the Wom-
ems International Congress Against
War, in Paris few months ago,
it was obvious that these free Soviet
women had a distinction-a beauty,
vigor and joyousnesS that set them
apart from the rest of the Con-
gress.
They symbolized what the Party
of Lenin had brought them.
INTO THE GLOOM of women's
suffering under capitalism, Lenin's
words bring light. In the United
States, women in the mine fields,
ragged, without food and clothes
for themselves and their children,
women living in the degradation of
flop houses, women enduring the
killing speed-up in the shops, hear
the words of that Party. Then they
are no longer hopeless. There is
joy and hope and security in the
future.
They know just as surely as to-
morrow follows on the heels of to-
day-that Lenin's Party will lead
them in the same paths as it has
led the Soviet women.
IN NAZI GERMANY-the women
enslaved in the Saar-the women in
fascist countries throughout the
world, have hope, because Lenin
pointed the way they must go. They
speak quietly to their neighbors-
they put leaflets inside loaves of
bread-they meet two and three to-
gether-and plan towards that day,
when led by the Party of Lenin,
they shall do as the Russian women
did-and establish other free work
ers' lands.
LENIN SPENT HIS ENTIRE
LIFE fighting to make the policies
of the Bolshevik Party clear-poli-
cies which would lead every worker
out of slavery into the new life.
Now Lenin is dead-and to us he
has left a task-to carry on the
work of his Party, the Bolshevik
Party, the Communist Party. This
day, throughout the world, men and
women will meet together and
strengthen their determination to
build the Communist Party that
Lenin and the Bolsheviks forged.
This must be our tribute to Lenin.
Knowing clearly the joys and the
hardships that lie ahead, today is

take two years to straighten things
out. The President says that moth
ing can be done about pushing cars,
that the case is with the Regional
Labor Board, and the District and
Mine Committees can not do any,
thing. He also tells us not to say
anything as the Super knows every
thing that goes on in the local, even
the password.
There is only one thing for the
miners in this local to do, to clean
out the officials in our local, as well
as the whole gang of King Lewis
machine, and elect rank and file
miners into Office who will fight for
the miners instead of against them.

At InstigatiOn
Of Relief Head.
By a Mine Worker Correspondent

By Mine Worker Correspondent
UNIoNTOwN, Pa. - Friday, Jan.
II the committees from eight locals
of the Unemployed Councils met in
the Emergency Relief Office to take
up grievances with the district
supervisor.
Mr.. CRUDE, who arranged for the
meeting, attempted to split the
committee into three separate
groups, his excuse was that he had
no room large enough to accommo-
date the whole committee. The last
to be called was the Uniontown-
Beeson Cool Spring Committee.
When they were called, there was
some objections raised by the COM
mittee member Hasan concerning
the arrangements. This led to a
brief argument, in which Mr.. CRUDE
told Hasan, "You are not going to
run the Emergency Relief" To
which Hasan replied: "And you will
not run the Unemployed Councils
Mr.. CRUDE called police and had
Hasan arrested for "disorderly con-
duct"
Major Hatfield, gave hearing 4
p. m. the same day, and after hear
ing witnesses from the Relief Office,
including CRUDE, the best that could
be proven against Hasan, was that
he was militant member of the
Unemployed Councils who refused
to be cowed by the relief staff. Hat
field, a former business man, who
is well known for his drunkenness,
sentenced Hasan to $50. fine or 80
days in Jail.
The whole hearing" was on a
basis of kangaroo court. Defense
witnesses were not permitted to
testify. The Unemployed Coun-
ellis took immediate steps to get a
jury trial for Hasan, also protest
meetings are being held and resolu-
tions are being adopted.
The remarkable thing is that the
arrest, and the attempts to terrorize
the unemployed came at the same
time as the attack made by Billy
Hynes against the Unemployed
Councils. 1t don't seem to be a
strange coincidence. On the other
hand, the Unemployed Councils are
prepared to resist and fight any at
tempt on the part of Emergency
Relief, Major Hatfield, or the
leaders Of District No. U. M. w.
of A.

Textile Strike Farley
Comes to a Stalemate

WATERBURY, Conn, Jan. 49,
After a three-hour conference be-
tween representatives of Local 2035
of the United Textile Workers and
of the Johnson Wooden Mills, no
agreement could be reached yester-
day and the strike continues.
The workers came out when the
company hired two who were en-
ployed as scabs by the Hamilton
Wooden Mills at Southbridge, Mass.
The workers see in this an attempt
to introduce the same strikebreak-
ing company union as was the case
in Southbridge.

JOHNSTOWN, Pal am writing
this letter so that miners in Dis
trict No. 2, and in other districts as
well, will know what conditions ex-
ist here in Tire Hill, in the Bird
Coal Company Mine, where over
five hundred miners are Shaving.
These conditions exist due to the
sell-out policy and treachery Of our
District and National officials and
some of Lewis henchmen in our
local..
The conditions in the mine are
unbearable. Dead work is not paid
for. If the miners work ten and
fifteen hours they have to argue
and fight with the boss to receive at
most four or five hours pay for
dead work. We are forced to fight
individually as the local officials
take their orders from the Bird
Coal Company and the District Off
cials.
When any grievances arise, they
say A4OEA44ll6 kGhAl tJC N4OA4Cs W. NAAgS
letters to our District officials, to
James Marks, ETC., but no action
is taken about dead work or to i'm
prove our conditions.
Hard Pushing
In this mine we have a very hard
job pushing cars. Every time a
miner gets a car it takes three or
four men to push it, and until
miner gets car in his place he is
almost played out. We have raised
this Question for nine months. The
officials also refuse to put up a
fight to place a hoist in every place
where it is hard pushing. We sent
letters to the District officials, but
no action was taken. They are only
interested in collecting dues so that
they can get their salaries.
A few weeks ago we took up this
question again, and our local union
decided to send three delegates to
the District Office in Clearfeld, Pa.
We sent our president, w. Shaffer,
and here is the report which he
gave us: First, his expense was six
teen dollars to go to and come from
Clearfeld. Second, that they were
at the District Office and saw our
District President Marks. Marks
told. them that he marks was
overloaded with work. Our local
president said that Marks had hun
dredS of letters unopened, that he
did not know how Marks could
carry such a load of work, that he
should have some more Office work
ers.
Can't Do Anything
On our question about pushing
cars, Marks told him that he could
not. do anything right now. So, our
local president took his word and
didn't press the question any fur
ther. Well if Marks has so many
unopened letters on his desk, we
can see what kind of hard work he
has, and we can remember how we
have been sending letters for nine
months without any action being
taken. So I judge that the only
letters Marks and Gilbert are in
terested in enough to open are those
that contain checks for dues. But,
those from miners complaining
about grievances are thrown in the
basket.
Some time ago, the Mine Com
mittee, which is all working on
company jobs, made an agreement
without telling the miners. This
Mine Committee and the Local Off
Gals made the following deal with
the company = that the company
put four hoists every month in the
places which it is hard pushing.
This means that even if they do

BIRTH MARKS ON CHILDREN

Comrade M. D., Of Lorain, Ohio,
writes: Il have a small child. When
she was born she had some red
marks on the back of her neck. I
wrote to a doctor in New York,
whom I saw advertised in maya
zine. He said that he would like me
to go over there and bring the baby.
I am worried about this night and
day and am real nervous. I am not
like used to be. I cannot do my
work. Let me know if it can be
taken Off"
There is no need for you to feel
SO nervous about the red marks
ove.' the neck of your little girl.
These marks, which are present
from birth, are not dangerous, nor
will they affect your child's health.
If, however, you are anxious about
your child's appearance, the marks
should be treated in the earliest
years of her life. For this reason,
we recommend that you take her TO
the X-ray or tumor clinic of a near
by large hospital, as for instance,
the Lakeside Hospital in Cleveland
or the Cincinnati General Hospital
You should be advised entirely by
what they tell you there, following
examination. 1t is unnecessary for
you to make the long trip to New
York. You will find equally expert
treatment at the hospitals we have
listed.
We would further advise you
against reading medical advertise
ments which serve only to stir up
your fears. You will do better to go
to a family doctor whom you trust
or to large medical clinic of good
repute.

The contrast In the work Of the Or

and represents the happy gain Of the
elusive substance which differentiates
an artistic performance from merely
q very good one.
It is in such works as the major
symphonies that the measure of an

the message as well as the form Of this

Not only die DR.. Kinder lead his men

the high point of their musical de-

Before beginning the final number,

made short appeal for the orchestra,
asking again that they be placed on
a permanent basis. Touching lightly
on the difficulties both he and the

and sketching his hopes and ambitions
for the future, DR.. Kinder managed
to present a startling picture Of the
