Brothers, the combined organized capital of the capitalist class is fight- us. Every arm of the capitalist state troops, state police, injunctions, spies, courts, and the pulpit. The capitalist press is broadcasting lies thruout America about our standard of living, every effort is being made to discredit and defeat us. Every, ef- fort is being made to undermine us and break our morale, to have us lose confidence in our ability to win, to break our strike and defeat us in our meager demands. 2 meet this organized force of cap- ons as we expected he would. The |miners’ demands were emphatically laid down at the Tri-District conven- tion, and John L. Lewis knew that he could not betray them at the be- ginning of the struggle, in the face of the determination of the coal dig- gers to fight for our demands. Lewis Will Not Fight. Lewis’ idea of struggle has been demonstrated to us in the past. We will not forget his betrayals of the miners thruout America, by his sur- render to Judge Anderson, and his treachery to Nova Scotia and Alberta miners. Arbitration is again raised as a means of settlement, but the min- ers must spurn that treacherous pol- icy and insist that no settlement can be made without approval of a spe- cial convention, of the Tri-District miners. The progressive miners of the an- thracite demand that a five-day week be fought for, yearly agreements, minimum wage, relief of the unem- ployed, and abolition of the concilia- tion. board. The Progressive Miners’ Committee calls upon all railroad workers to refuse to haul scab coal and to aid the miners in every way morally, financially, and actively. We demand that our leaders fight for workers’ control. We stand for a la- bor party of the workers and farmers. nationalization of the mines, with workers’ control. ta ait 4148 Workers’ Control. The Progressive Miners’ Commit- tee appeals to all workers to come to the aid of the anthracite miners. Their-fight is your fight, their victory is your victory, and if they are defeat- ed, it will be your turn next. The mine workers of America are facing the greatest struggle in their history. The bituminous miners have been idle practically for the past two years, and now that the anthracite is facing a struggle, the bituminous miners are permitted to go back to work to pro- duce coal to defeat the hard coal miners. We demand that John L, Lewis bring out the bituminous miners with the hard coal miners and make it a national coal strike. Our slogan is Nationalization and Workers’ Control. Union Drivers Win Raise.

The Union is just as union (A. F. of L.) as the Labor Leader. All its printers, pressmen, etc., hold union cards. So, the A. F. ot L. is glad to extend to it the hand of friendship and feel that to be with Spreckles, who owns all the public utilities, most of the banks and the bulk of the real estate of San Diego, is gratifying. Body Guard of Overlords. San Diego’s rulers know the advan- tage of having the A. F. of L. as their bodyguard. By paying the aristocrats of labor unionism the union wage they control (at least, for the time) the entire working class. They far more than make up for the high wages of union printers by ne exploitation of the masses. For instance, young San Diegans, 20 to 25 years of age, are employed at men’s work for 320 a month. Be- cause of the lack of employment such men are forged by parents to accept employment at this low wage. They work 10 hours a day driving automo- bfles, wagons, etc., clerking in stores, etc. The A, F. of L. takes care that the conditions may continue by pay- ing no attention to it. Elevator men of San Diego com- plained that their pay for 10 hours’ work was only $50 a, month and they dared not strike as other men were ready to take their places at even less pay.
