The struggle of the an-} thracite miners to establish decent living conditions is being assailed by the press of this part of the country} and organized labor so far has, as usual, made no move to counteract this vicious anti-laber propaganda. This resolution is the first indication that the labor movement is beginning to fight back and defend the workers wheréver they are fighting against the | | : | te saaition to pre pases financial support, the ’ Union pro- poses to utilize every RS tte means ef placing the facts before the work- ers of this city and particularly to visit other unions with the men of getting them to adopt similar action The members of the union feel that if wage-reductions and a weakening of the miners in the. anthracite region takes place it will be followed by an intensification of wage cuts all over the country so they pledg themselves to resist generally the attacks ofthe employers upon the workers.

The American Federation of Labor continues its passive opposition to |the anti-Negro bars raised by our in- ternational unions. Negro workers are unable to join hands with the white workers in a common struggle against the class that exploits them ‘both. The Negro in American indus- try_is the most underpaid and over- worked and is often used by the boss es in strikes to crush the struggk for better conditions. These are some of the problems that face the first gathering of Negro workers ‘and working farmers in America. -Last year, the Sanhedrin met, but there the Negro worker re- ceived but little consideration. The tency Sat : Negro worker has now decided to act for himself.

In the beclouded situation further confusion is thrown into the ranks of the imperialist powers by the dis- match from Tokio saying that Tuan ‘hi-jui of the Peking government, in in effort to allay the rising nation- alist movement, has threatened that ‘f full and complete tariff autonomy is not granted, Peking representatives will walk out of the conference. That the imperialists are in per- plexity is shown by reports of daily and extended conferences in which the American, British, Japanese and French embassies are engaged. Four Pages Today!
