The following resolution passed at a miners’ meeting of Local Union Na 2653, recites the facts of one of the latest outrages of the Farrington ma- chine, and shows an example of the treacherous ‘moves of the fakers in the miners’ union. “tt 4s such ‘incidents as this that has brought about the Zeigler situation, and no one knowing the facts will be surprised to see a similar condition to the Zeigler situation break out at any of his own treachery. The miners in the Springfield ter- ritory are bitter and ready to go to the mat with Farington and his worm, Walker. The resolution is as follows: Springfield, til., Aug. 9, 1928. To the Officers and Members of All Local Unions, United Mine Workers of America, in a regular Meeting of Local No, 2553, Greeting: “WHEREAS:—A desperate attempt is now being made by the Peabody Coal Company, assisted by the official- dom of the United Mine Workers of America, District No, 12, to take from the membership of Local Union No. 2553, the checkweighman they have elected to serve them, a right given them under the joint contract and the state laws of Illinois, and all for the purpose of taking from the member- ship a man who has ever been watch- ful for the interests of the miners of Local Union No. 2553, and who in the performance of his duties as check- weighman did discover the, company weighman attempting to steal from employed at Peabody No. and as a result of his watchfulness a detecting this scoundrel the Mine Workers’ officials did agree that Joe Loda was to be deposed and that an- other must take his place, another presumably more suitable to the coal company and less watchful for the in- terests of the rank and file, and A Conspiracy. “WHEREAS: We know of no more desperate frame-up than was hatched against Joe Loda, for example, Joe Loda was charged with using abus- ive language against the company weighman whom he caught red-hand- ed in the act of stealing from the miners, Joe Loda denied the charges and the company presented two com- pany sucks, the company top-boss, who strange to relate happened to be present when the stealing was at- tempted, and the company weighman, both of whom testified as the company directed; Joe Loda a United Mine Worker and the check-puller a United Mine Worker denied the company’s accusations, but regardless to that in a very few hours after Joker Young and Dan Clark had handled this case it was turned over to.a commission who were ready waiting for it and Joe Loda was deposed by actions of this commission. “We cannot recall where such hasty action has ever happened in this board member district in unloading Joe Loda, especially when other cases of long standing prior to the Loda case had never been handled and thus this hasty action in geting Loda’s case into the hands of a commission within a few hours after the board member had handled it, and the commission agree- ‘the to the removal of Loda within a few hours after receiving this case, ee time with Farrington the chief victim = a of the miners and operators to get a reopening of the agreement that he had made with the miners, ignored and violated the state agreement and courts set up by it and entered into the civil courts of the county for re- dress and had Loda removed by a deputy sheriff from the tipple. What do you suppose would have happened to the miners had they taken that procedure? “And will McMurdo be penalized for shuting down the miine to enforce something contrary to the joint agree- ment as it provided for in article 20 section (d) joint agreement which reads as follows: Any opérator who shall lock out all or any Waterial part of his employes in order td enforce: some condition in violation of this agrement shall be fined..one dollar ($1.00) per member affected for each day or part of a day the mine is thus thrown idle, Farington sbatrasiit. cl “McMurdo did call the © ere of ‘ttormed them the mine w not re- sume operation until they fe a new check-weighm&n ~ n he knows that the joint agreément. de- clares that “in cases the’ ‘men must continue at work pending’'a final’ set- tlement, and McMurdo prevents this from being done by shutting down the mine and going into the civil courts of the county. these gross violations of the contract Frank Farrington has taken the side of the operators and declared in a telegram that Loda must be deposed and a new check-weighman elected, in face of the fact that he informed Joe Loda and others that he would stand behind Loda and if McMurdo ftad en- tered into an agreement with the mine commitee to allow Loda to remain on move him had been made, then he would see that Loda remained on the tipple for the rest of the time. “We feel that all the above informa- tion should be printed and sent to the various local unions to let the rank and file know what is going on end to enlist their support against those who are destroying the purposes of our ‘union and making it a useless weapon for their emancipation, there- fore be it For Publicity of Education. “RESOLVED That copies of this resolution be sent to all local unions and printed in every daily and weekly paper that -it can be gotten so that the rank and file may know what is going on, for after all education is the thing that will free the workers and destroy the tyrants that are seeking to have us return to nonunion wages and con- ditions.” Signed—JOHN LUCAS, Pres. the local union to his office and. in-; the tipple after the decision to re-- Jones, a brother-in-law of Rodenbush, of from $80 to $100, he at first couldn't ‘their jobs~to testify at the mine No. 2 under a faked up charge of “abusing the boss,” one Lather a mine company official. . The connection between Rodenbush ang Schroeder’s discharge can be traced as follows: Gyped Out of Pay. The West mine at West Frankfort, Illinois, shut down the first of Jan nary 1924, fafling to pay their miners for the last two pay days. Schroeder was among the members of the West Mine Local, but lacking work, went to Chicago and was employed there until October 1924. Receiveing a letter from a friend, saying that the bosses of Orien mine No. 2 were selling jobs at prices believe it. But he went to West Frankfort and found it was true. To Expose Job Selling. Deciding that he should expose the job selling, but knowing he would never get the money back, he went to the Sub-District officials, Fox and Cobb, and asked them if they knéw_ that Mine Manager Pollock and Mine Superintendent Rodenbush were sell- ing jobs. “Yes,” said Fox and Cobb, “but we have no proof.” Schroeder told them that he would get the proof if the Sub-District would make for the approaching election, Fox and Cobb agreed and with the money furnished, Schroeder and his buddy bought jobs and went to work the same day.

O, But After The Election! The election came and passed. Far- rington lost all his burning passion for investigation and prosecution of the job selling mine manager and su- perintendent.- In fact he held a confer ence with Ricemiller, President of the Operators’ Association, and both agreed that even if a few foolish min- ers paid for their jobs, that did not prove that Manager Pollock and Super intendent Rodenbush had sold them. Farrington ‘and the operators let the case be lost. But every miner knows that Pol- lock and Rodenbush were guilty, and after Farrington was safely elected, the mine owners were waiting a chance to get even with Schroeder. That Luther Jones, a brother-in-law of Rodenbush, whom Schroeder ac- cused, is the one caused Schroeder’s dicharge is evidence that Farring- ton, the bosses, and Lon Fox and Cobb, are all involved in the job sell-. ing and all deserve everythig the miners can give them—of unpleasant- L.

Owing to the lack of any ordered system of administration and responsibility for upkeep, many of the stone buildings taken over by the workers themselves depreciated to such an extent that they were rendered practically uninhabit- able. By 1920-1921 the position had reached a crisis. Over 25 per cent. of the housing accommodation in Moscow and l’e- trograd was found already to have become uninhabitable and derelict. Owing to the fuel crisis during the winter the empty wooden houses were pulled down and used for fuel, and in Many cases the window frames and doors of the abandoncd #tone buildings were removed for the same purpose. In 1920 the population of Moscow had fallen from 2,000,000 'fin 1917 to a little over a millon people. From that date, how- lever, owing to the depression in the agricultural districts, and the commencement of reconstruction in the industrial areas, a great influx of population into the cities took place and has steadily continued. By the end of 1923 the population of Mos- ~ cow increased to over 1,500,000, and in other industrial centers had almost doubled itself. Nationalization Under the banner of Communism, during the first years following the Revolution, the houses were claimed by the ten- ants as communal property. This doctrine had already spread into the factories, which the workers, with the support of their Trade Unions, were also claiming as their own. The position threatened to become chaotic until, under pressure from the A eae Party itself, the Fourth Trade Union Congress, 2 met in 1921, was forced to abandon its attitude, and by ent decréé all réal property became vested in the State. At this time Lenin’s Néw Economic Policy was first put forward; it Was, however, nearly a year before it became opera- tive throughout the whole system. Under this scheme; which embraced all economic branches in the State and permitted a measure of private ownership and trading, all small houses of a capital value up to:’Rs. 10,000 (£1,000) were returned, where possible, to their former owners. Private traders, known as Nepmen, were encouraged to rent or purchase from the State on a leasehold basis, larger buildings which were in need of repair; these they undertook to place in a certain standard state and to be responsible for their upkeep during their ten- ancy. House Committees Under the old Communist policy housing associations and committees elected from among the tenants had been set up for the purpose of administrating the buildings in which they lived. With the New Economic Policy these committees were made to conform to certain State regulations, and regional Government inspectors were appointed from each district. In the larger buildings which were occupied by the Nep- men, or had been purchased under the new scheme, it was soon found that these housing committees were apt to take all possi- sible measures to exclude the workers from their premises. In many cases rents and other conditions were imposed which made it impossible for the worker to become a sub-tenant. In 1922, therefore, the Government issued a decree which handed over 10 per cent. of the total floor space of each building to the Town Soviet. District inspectors then allocated this 10 per cent. among the industrial workers. The attitude of the committees of buildings inhabited by.a majority of Nepmen and associates, however, still remained adamant. As a result of ments in large cities is having a marked effed fer he family life of a large section of the community The majority of the workers have Or | better housing facilities. Pride of public | is < markable, but only among the more educated and . grades of worker does it appear to have been extended homes. Cleanliness and order in public places are slogans of the day, but very little attention appears to have been yet paid to fresh air and ventilation. Family Life In the majority of cases the worker on returning. from work leaves, as soon as he has finished his meal, for his club,-his technical studies, or a meeting. The worker’s wife.and chil- dren, over a certain age, who are not eligible Bc membership, are allowed to participate in the social side of club." In this manner he is encouraged to take them with him.” There ha however, very little family life. = Housing arrangements, which have certainly improved the hygiene and social position of a large of the. workers, and given them greater opportunities for collectiv tion, have probably been a great factor in accomplishi the principal aims of the Revolution, that is, the b of,,middle-class society. The professional cla ters, and employes are now forced to live in a the, most two rooms. Social intercourse: mor § therefore become impracticable.

Many of these little cities have already been built oytside the larger towns. The ‘houses are detached or semi-detached and each stands‘on ‘about one-eighth to one-quarter of an acre of ground. Thefoadways or streets are of great breadth and each plot is self-@Ontained. The plans of the cities and the houses are usually the outcome of competitions at the local factory art schools and all include a large co-operative store, school and club. The houses themselves are built on the latest recognized housing plans, with high rooms, up-to-date sanitary appliances, and labor-gaving devices. They vary in size, but usually consist of four rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and outhouses. A single house is costing the Government about £800 inclusive of drain- age, land and roading, and a double or semi-detached house costs £1,200. As. these garden cities become inhabited the flats in the towns are correspondingly evacuated, giving greater accommo- dation to the brain worker. In Leningrad there appears to be no shortage of houses. 1ent of a. his comrades. _ The prison fare ccaiaiaks of tea and bread in the morning, a midday meal with as much soup as a prisoner cares for, with a ration of 14lb. of meat or fish, which varies from day to day. ‘In the evening tea and bread is again served out. The cells are open all day, and in most consist of a dormitory of some ten or a dozen beds, which are drawn up against the wall during the daytime. These beds consist of an iron framework across which is stretched thick canvas or sailcloth. A pillow and blankets are supplied, and the pris- oners are allowed to supplement their own bedding. Each pris- oner is supplied with a small table, and pegs on which to hang his clothes. At the end of each corridor, or set of cells, is a common lavatory and washing-room. “The beds may be let down es the daytime if a prisoner desires to rest when off duty. In some cases meals are served in a. common dining-room, in others prisoners select from their midst squads to fetch the food from the kitchen. These squads are responsible for clean- liness and the washing of utensils and the cells. At night all cells are locked, and ‘warders patro] the cor- 7 The system, of course, varies sib ak in different prisons according to the accommodation and arrangement of the build- ing. The most systematic measures are taken to eliminate all signs of the old prison system.

The warders themselves are all skilled workers and in- structors in the trade at which their, gangs are working. In every section, of 15 working prisoners,is;one warder who him- self works with the gang either as foreman or instructor. All are dressed in civilian clothes, and to the visitor it is difficult to distinguish a warder from a prisoner. It is indeed a remarkable sight to°witness a large carpen- ter’s shop of over 100 prisoners working with ordinary imple- ments, such as hammers, chisels, and saws, with only two, ap- parently unarmed, militia men strolling among them and six working warders. These prisoners consisted of burglars, ban- dits, and men convicted of robbery with violence. | Formerly armed warders stood at every corner and at the end of each corridor. A special guard was stationed in an iron cage, with direct communication with the guard-room, to guard him from attack. There is no segregation of the sexes during working hours. Men and women work together, and in one tailoring shop visit- ed by the Delegation a man and woman, who happened to be husband and wife, were seen working at the same machine. Each prison has its own co-operative shop run by the pris- oners themselves. The shop is stocked according to the re- quirements of the prisoners, and goods are supplied at cost price. Clothes, boots, and such commodities as can be manu- factured in the prison eee are supplied to the store from the prison. The general level a employment 1925 is about 8 per cent under It is more than 20 per cent under the average of the firs: 6 months of 1920. It is, in fact, 3 per cent below the averege of the first half of 1916, @- though since that time the country’s population has increased 15,000,000, of which the 10,000,000 over the age of 15 would be available for mone empioyment. There has been cither a big inctebse in the margin of unemployed workers or an extrroidinary diversion of pro- ductive labor into anproductive call- ings, -deaaniiced both.

Rents are paid to the house committee, which is responsible for the allotment of floor space, the general upkeep of the buildings (including external and internal repairs), cleanliness, lighting, héating (where central heating exists), order’in the building, and the upkeep of the pavement in front of the house. Much depends on the composition of these committees, and often very different results are found in adjacent houses occu- pied by the same class of workers. Extra floor space is allotted to doctors and certain profes- sional men, a doctor being allowed an extra room in which to receive his patients. — Housing Regulations A visitor to Moscow who fs able to pay the prices asked in the State controlled hotels can find accommodation; he will otherwise have to apply to the Town Soviet, which will hand him over to a divisional inspector, who will allot him quarters.

The atmosphere of a Russian prison is now’ more that of a workshop of free workers than that of a an of ‘deten- This is perhaps one of the most "the most ffeeliont in tion or a jail. Large workshops have been installed wherever space is available, and in the older kind of prisons the largé broad cor- ridors leading to the cells have been utilized for this’ purpose. Each prison is self-supporting as regards general require- ments. A large kitchen, staffed by prisoners, prepares the food for the establishment. An up-to-date steam laundry works at full pressure, doing the prison washing, the washing for rail- . ways, Government offices and institutions, such as co-opera- tives and hospitals. .\!! the prison furniture, clothes, boots, and other requirements are manufactured on the premises, and out- side orders for Gov ernment departments, etc., are fulfilled when possible. A prisoner on entering the prison is placed topwork at his own trade. In the event of his not having learned one, he is allowed to choose*to which trade he will become:apprenticed. He then commences work at Trade Union hours*'and wages. The wages are paid to him monthly in the form’of a check which his family or relations can discount for cash, or which he himself can’ discount for goods at the prison’ ‘co-operative store.

In nene of the prisons do the churches function, and ret: is no religious service of any kind. In some cases the church is utilized as a store, a co-operative, or a prisoner’s meeting house where the prisoners are allowed to elect their own work- shop committee for the purpose of organizing their work, and. the co-operative stores. General Conclusions The conclusions reached by the Delegation in respect of public health, housing, and the prison system, were that the Soviet Government was achieving most.remarkable results. Al- though Russia in these matters was, before the Revolution, per- haps the most backward of European communities, yet it has in many respects already been brought up to the level of Euro- pean standards; at the present rate of progress it may be ex- rected before long to set an example that, if it is to be followed, will require a fairly radical reorganization in States that are at presont leading Europe in these matters. _ (To. be. cantinued in next issue.) - t Old Guard « of G.

seg were i Emel Medrax Calif. Yesterday / By PAUL CROUCH. GUARD HOUSE, Fort Shafter, Hon- oluliu, Hawaii, —(By Mail)—We are! leaving for our future prison home, Aleatraz, California, August 8th. We will be sent back on the. transport Our fight in the courts for freedom .of thot and speech for. Communists -will be continued and, if necessary, taken to the United States ng court. Fede Judge Wm. T. Raw- lins of Honolulu said he did not have jurisdiction “over, our cases. The higher courts will, not have that ex- cuse. Before leaving for Alcatraz, we wish to express our appreciation for the efforts made in our behalf by the DAILY WORKER, ‘Young Worker and other Communist Publications and by the working class in general. It was because of these efforts that our sen- tences were reduced. The great re- duction in Our prison sntences was a victory for the Workefs (Communist) Party and other class conscious work- ers’ organizations. The defenses of capitalism are not impregnable. They could be crushed like an eggshell by the united forces of labor. We enter Alcatraz military prison on August 14. We may not be purmieted to com- | ‘municate freely with the outside while in Alcatraz. Our final message to our comrades, before entering our island prison, is: (Carry on!

The Dawes Plan No Miracle Worker According to data on the industrial situation in Germany, the of business is worse there now than at any tjme since the Sone plan was ratified. Trade is so slack that twelve commercial and technical expositions have been cancelle d. Evidently the Dawes plan, Which was touted as a cure-all for Germany’s ills has fallen foe: short of being a miracle worker. ‘Hundreds of thousands of German workers are unemployed. pease. are being shot down in the streets of Berlin by police. In : bability Germany is on the eve of another serious industrial oe, ee uy ~ we 4 Editors Business Manager is doomed. All the wise men of the East and of the! gave it. A Dawes plan may be able to set the wheels istry in motion, but no Dawes can find a market for goods if pre a ‘market does not exist. ; As usual the German workers will suffer from the breakdown of German industry. They suffer when they are employed and they suffer still, more when they are unemployed. ‘German industry is going to pieces and the standard of living of the workers is descending, the delegation of German trade unionists in the Soviet Union are able to report that the conditions of the workers and peasants in Soviet Russia are improving and that their industries are constantly on the up-grade. ‘This object lesson cannot fail to have its effect in stimulating the German workers to cast off their fetters and establish their own * rule on the ruins of capitalism. Only then will they be able to put an end to unemployment and poverty. Adding insult t to Injury The reason the workers in the oil fields are not organized is because they were paid so royally that the incentive to organize simply did not exist, writes an oily press agent in a capitalist paper. As if. nobody ever heard of the conditions of the oil slaves in the ’ fields.of Wyoming and other states! The press agent adds insult to injury by admitting that/the oil workers have been toiling for a stretch of twenty-four hours a day. If there is a human being living who likes to work for a boss twelve ‘hours at a stretch, he is welcome to the luxury. But he has not been Tages to date except in the columns of “successful” fiction. * ‘The responsibliity for the lack of organization among the oil wo . determine the methods Pan er A party Ry = tie ~~ HAG sEe 7) F Hit 3 3 * - af Wr 7 ” —_— » Fey — a pure ’ . - . ’ - f ? . > - “ E . 4 . ¥ 4 4 i “3 .. ay oP" : a fs 4 ae ° = ‘ ‘ wheeet $ . : m * : , bs - . fe 4 , . bal ‘ . - 2 x j M ; d % , Me 4 * ~ ox ~ F : E a 4 - ; >s.. * : . a , . . a ‘ » » - *. 4 1 - . “te - : | " . ’ i of the cc WitHin a town district fhe ity and using one language av selves of the Agitprop Depa: the town district | the compe > , ‘. . . a bgp = a >. on ee ¢ * a % - cg « a4 r , a > ae 4 working clas e most ca ble | He . should b a a I ae pyr ter nd LS ahaa club work.

Declaration of the Communist Party of Cyprus on the Inauguration of the Colonial Constitution of the Island ee the workers of England and the International proletariat! On the ist of May, the very same day on which the proletariat of the whole world, under the red flag, pro- claimed once more its just demands and protested at the same time against the dishonesty and baseness of the various fascist governments and against the endless intrigues of the imperialists, here in Cyprus, in the corner of the Mediterranean, En- glish imperialism, by “letter patent,” declared Cyprus to be a colony, thus adding th®ee hundred thousand work- ers and farmers more to the millions of colonized peoples who are bound in heavy chains behind its bloody chariot. This fact was not allowed to pass unnoticed by the bourgeois press of London, which hastened to pronounce /and comment upon it in accordance with the interests of its patrons.

HIS was the state of affairs down to the 15th of Mey this year. Let us now examine what are the liberties so graciously granted along with this our Official colonization. It is absolutely absurd and an abuse of language to talk of liberties! The incftease of the native seats on the Legislative Council from 12 to 15, which has been trumpeted all over the world as a magnificent conces- sion of further libetries to the popu- lation of Cyprus, is simply a picce of bitter irony, for the number of official parasites has at the same time been increased from 6 to 9, so that the same order is maintained. No other change has been effected. And how is it with regard to the share of the Turkish debt of £92,000? This con- tinues to be a heavy burden on the shoulders of the long-suffering peo- ple at a time when the financial crisis in the Island is admitted to be without precedent. Has not Cyprus become a colony? By what right is the pay- ment of this barbarous inhuman tri- bute demanded, when there exists no real indebteness to Turkey? It can only be characterized as. a. suppres- sion of the weak peoples by capital- ism.
