The routine of the harbor strike

ProEetariat Rule Sought

The central committee of the
Queens local of the Socialist party
yesterday issued manifesto to it's
members demanding the establishment
of dictatorship of the proletarat." :"
The manifesto and programme of the
party are to be discussed at q future
meeting.
The manifesto declares: "Revolu-
tionary Socialists do not believe they
can come into power through the ballot
alone. They fight for the conquest of
power through the revolutionary pro-
letariat.
Revolutionary Socialists are of the
same belief as the founders Of scien-
tiic socialism = that there are two
classes in society, the bourgeoisie
and the proletarat, and that between
the two classes the struggle must be
carried on until the working classes,
through appropriation of the instru-
ments of production and distribution,
through abolition of the capitalistic
state and establishment of the dicta-
torship of the proletariat establish
socialistic system"

Passaic Woollen Strike
Is On Again; 5000 Out
Workers Charge Employers
With Discharging Leaders and
Members of Shop Committee

PASSAIC, March 26.-The strike of
nearly 5000 woollen workers at the
Botany Worsted Mills, the Garfield
Worsted Mills and the Gera Mills
settled last week, broke out afresh to-
day.
The strikers declared the employers
had discharged leaders of the union
organization and members Of the work
ers' shop committees.
The trouble at the Garfield Mills
came about through the discharge Of
Charles Pollay, a former soldier. The
company said he was discharged be-
cause his activities in the strike had
not been "lawful.'
Charles J. Fury, Federal mediator
through whose efforts the agreement
was made last week. was telegraphed
for by John II. Kehoe, City Commits
sioner.

BonarL SaysHiggh g
Wages Are Britairn's
Most Vital Interest
Government Leader Says
Policy Will Be Framed to
Bring About a Greater
Production andProsperity

LONDON, March 26.-The prosperity
Of the country depends upon its in
creased production and the efforts of
the government will be directed to
framing policy on that basis, said
Andrew Bonar Law, government leader
ment in the Commons on the fiscal
policy of the government in reply to
motion by member. Imperial prefer
ence, the government leader said, would
be put into effect at the arlest pos
sible moment, and the Chancellor of
the Exchequer was considering how to
give effect to it in the budget.
There would be no hesitation in an
nouncing the general hscal policy of
the government whenever it was pos
sble to decide how it would be car
ried out, Mr.. Bonar Law said. The
election declarations of Premier Lloyd
George would be fulfilled in letter and
spirit, but the government must con-
slider the best permanent system for
the country. An anti-dumping bill had
been drafted, but had not yet been eX-
amined by the government. Mr.. Bonar
Law promised that the government
WOUlN dl1IFC it q UcNlSiOH dS SOOl dS
possible and that an announcement
would be made promptly thereafter
The government leader contended, in
the course of an argument he advanced
in favor of tariffs, that the most vital
vested interest in the country was high
wages. He might be asked by labor,
he said, how it would be possible to
maintain high wages if cotton goods
from Japan we're put into the markets
at a lower price than British manu-
facturers must pay for cotton. 1t was
ridiculous to suppose, he said, that the
old conditions would continue. For in
stance, he pointed out, preference on
sugar would enormously affect the en-
pire's production of that commodity.
'Jt is not too much to say that we
would not have gained the victory but
for the help of the Dominions," said
Mr.. Bonar Law. "Therefore, any
measure increasing the productive
power and man power of the Domin-
ions is a good thing for Britain as we'll
as the empire"
The government leader referred to
the discussion in the Canadian Parlia-
ment upon Canada's share in he war
indemnity and to the declaration of
the acting Prime Minister of Canada,
that the Canadians could rely upon
Britain treating them generously. The
speaker remarked that such a spirit
was worth more than any fiscal policy
to a nation.

Americans to Feed
35O,OOO at Coblenz
Special Rations Will Be Issued
to Germans Based ON Report
of Experts From e.. s.

COBLENZ, March 25 (By The As
sociated Press).-The question of sup
plying food to Germans within oc-
cupied areas has been investigated by
the various military commands of the
Allied armies in Germany, and it is
expected that within few days sup
plies will be received for distribution.
So far as the American area is con-
cerned, the problem is seeing that $780,
900 Germans within the occupied zone
receive sufficient food to maintain bod
lily health and vigor
Census of food supplies revealed that
rations and supplies for only 7OO,-
900 persons up to September existed
throughout the area. The authorities
believe, however, that only rs per
cent of actual supplies was reported,
as the concealing of food stocks has
been going on quite extensively.
The immediate problem before Amer
ica is to furnish supplies for 10000
persons at rates so low that the poor
est people can make purchases. 1t is
proposed to supply the civil govern
ment with meats, fats and flour at the
price charged in America plus the cost
of transportation, and then fix prices
for retail sales.

PITTSBURGH, March 26.-Alive to
the seriousness of the growing spirit
Of discomfort among workmen in this
region and recognizing that conditions
were developing which, if not checked,
might make this a fertile field for the
spread of Bolshevism, the Allegheny
Valley Industrial Club, representing
forty big plants in Pittsburgh, is
urging that public works be pushed
at this time, that manufacturers keep
their plants running and that pressure
be brought to bear on legislative bodies
state, county and city-to keep labor
employed.
Newspapers are carrying full page
advertisements pointing out the fall
lacies of radical socialism and appeal
ing to workmen to turn a deaf ear to
Bolshevik doctrines
The continued high price of food,
with thousands of men idle, is increas-
ing discomfort.
Declare Free Speech Is Denied
There is a campaign now on to or
ganize all steel workers in the face of
what union leaders say are attempts
at suppression of free speech and free
assembly.
Through a special committee from
the American Federation of Labor an
effort is being made to obtain 5000
signatures to the following pledge:
eve, the undersigned, believing in
the Constitution of the United States
and believing that our liberties are
being trampled upon by the suppress
sion OF free speech and free assem-
bly, in towns In the Pittsburgh dis
trict, do hereby pledge ourselves to
stand ready to attend any meeting
for the enforcement of free speech
and free assembly to be arranged by
the national committee for organiz-
ing iron and steel workers. We
further pledge ourselves to urge all
members of organized labor to at
tend these meetings called by the
national committee"
When 5000 pledges have been OBJ
tained, the labor leaders say, the first
meeting will be called, probably in
McKeesport, where Mayor George H.
Lysle has refused organizers of the
federation permission to hold a meet
ing.
Higher Wages Demanded
Sixty y-seven unions affiliated with
the federation are cooperating in many
movements to obtain higher wages,
reduction Of hours and improved con-
ditions.
In Johnstown, the seat of the Cam
bria Steel Company's big plant, labor
leaders say there is restlessness among
workers that points to success if a
vigorous effort is made to organize the
steel employees.
In Youngstown, Ohio, and in Sharon
and Farrell, Penn, thousands of steel
men are idle.
In almost every city in the Pitts
burgh district carpenters, bricklayers,
painters, moulders, engineers, etc, are
demanding increases in wages, and in
many cases are threatening to strike
if their demands are not met.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-Reports
Of discomfort in the Pennsylvania steel
district have led the Department of
