CIVIL LIBER
TIES UNION
Branding the statement, Issued by'
the United Mine Workers of America,
through Ellis Searles, publicity dir
ector, on the activities of the Reds
in the United States, as a mass of
"ridiculous insinuations" insofar as
the American Civil Liberties Union is
concerned, the officers of that organi
zation denied the charges made.
"If it is true that the American
Civil Liberties Union has not in a
single instance come to the assistance
of a man or woman not allied with the
Communists or radical movement' as
Mr. Searles declares," the officers of
the union state, "then a large part of
the United Mine Workers of America
is apparently a part of the radical
movement.
"For in the last twelve months we
have had occasion to render assist
ance* and to work in close and intimate
cooperation on issues affecting civil
liberty wdth at least a dozen officers
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica from local secretaries to district
presidents, as those, ofr instance, of
District No. 17 of West Virginia,
Among the many officers of other dis
tricts of the United Mine Workers
with whom we have cooperated we
might mention John Brophy, President
of District N. 2, D. L. Thomas. Pres
ident of Sub-District No. 7 of District
No. 12, and McGuire, an officer of
District No. 15. ^
"We have not now and never bave
had any interest in the tactics of the
interfactiional fights of the United
Mine Workers of America. We have
confined ourselves scrupulously, con
sistently and exclusively to the one
and other question with which we are
concerned—free speech, free press
and free assemblage."
The officers of the American Civil
Liberties Union also denounced the
assertion of the United Mine Workers
that the Union 'worked from within'
the coal strike of 1922 on behalf of
the Reds as a "preposterous lie".
Our work in the coal strike in 1922
was concerned solely with the strik
ers* right to speak and assemble
peaceabley," the Civil Liberties tin
ion's officers declare. "In the particu
lar «listrict of southwestern Pennsyl
vania which Mr. Searles mentions we
were informed by responsible officials
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica that the'civil rights of the strikers
were menaced by ruthless suppression
being carried on by the local authori
ties assisted by the State constabulary
To say that the Civil Liberties Union
sent a delegation in there to 'work
from within' is a preposterous lie.
According to the officers of the Un
ion, John Brophy reported to Roger
Baldwin, director of the Civil Liber
ties Union, on May 3, 1922, on the
wholesale violations of civil liberties
in the mining districts of Somerset
County, Pa.
"The Civil Liberties Union immedi
ately got in touch with newspaper
agencies and sent a special reporter
there to write up the situation. News
paper men and others representing
our organization worked with Brophy
and other mine leaders in issuing re
Î ports on the situation in these districts
j Later the Union sent Mr. Crane Gartz
j of Pasadena, Calif., to make a special
] survey of the field. Still later, At
torney Arthur Garfield Hays of New'
York took action against the Vinton
I dale Colliery Company in Vintondale,
I Pa., which resulted in opening up that
j town for free speech and free assem
bly for the workers."
According to the officers of the Civ
il Liberties Union this is only one in
1 stance among many others in which
the Union cooperated with labor lead
ers in the fight for civil liberties
their districts.
"If Mr. Searles,"' they state, "bac>

exercised by the mayor under an or

established by decisions of the United

SAVE LONDON
DAILY HERALD
By LAWRENCE TODD
Federated Press Staff Correspondent.
Plymouth, Eng.—By a card vote of
nearly eight to one, the British Tracies
Union congress has rescued the Lon
don Daily Herald until the end of the
calendar year, on condition that $60,
000 was raised by subscription during
September.
This decision, taken after two execu
tive sessions of the congress at which
the labor paper's expenditures and
revenues were gone over in detail, is
a triumph for the rank and file dele
gates who have insisted that the Brit
ish labor movement must maintain its
one daily at any cost. General of
ficers of the great national unions,
who had rendered a report that their
treasuries could not stand the cost of
a paper boycotted by the advertisers
of the country, have agreed to do all
in their power to bring the 300,000
circulation up to 600,000 by Christ
mas. If that figure is reached, the
Daily Herald will be able to go for
ward indefinitely.
Capitalist newspapers throughout
Britain had exulted in their editorial

Knowing how dangerous would tethe

unable to get to the voters with its

its pleased palms while awaiting the
disappearance of the workers P^ e ^*
It was perhaps the industrial peri
quite as much as the danger to t ie
Labor party that caused the big dele
gation of the Miners' federation to
reverse its original position when
George Lansbury made his statement
to congress, and to lead the majority
back to defense of the Daily Herald.
Robert Smilie was reported to be the
chief factor in this reversal. me
miners decided that the daily paper,
instead of being too expensive tor the
unions to carry during these times 01

of defense that could be abandoned
so long as a shilling could be found
to hold it.

by the Trades Union congress and its
affiliated national unions under the
terms of the agreement by which
Lansbury surrendered control oî the
enterprise a year ago. The circula
tion is around 300,000 copies. Adver
tising revenue is slight, due to the
class-boycott by all business concerns
in Britain against every press organ
of the workers. This boycott express
es not so much a fear of violent ie\o
lution as a blind rage on the part of
small tradesmen and manufacturers,
seeking the approval of the "upper
classes," at the manner in which the
"lower classes" are moving toward
mastery of the government. It marks
a passing phasß in th6 broadening of
the social outloolc of the British middle
class. Even now', the fact that, the
Labor party is his majesty's opposition
in parliament is making its impress
ion. Two or three more years may
find them ready to advertise in the
newspaper which speaks for the Labor
party. But today they would prefer
bankruptcy.
( British labor is going to subsidize*
j the Daily Herald directly by assess
ment and donation, meantime, rather
than subsidize it indirectly through
advertisers. There may be further
alarms, but the paper will not die.
