The spirit Of the striking weavers Is
splendid. BY the hundred they go out
on the picket line and walk for hours
while extra squads of police patrol
and guard" scabs to and from the
car. / Joined the pickets at the Pei
gram and Meyer mill and enjoyed
their caustic comment on conditions
in the shop. One OF the Polish women
weavers said she didn't like that
place. The boss was disagreeable and
always hurrying up the workers.
One young Italian worker said :
These scabs, these girls, they don't
know what they do. We gotta tell
'em they work and man with seven
children he gets no work" Many
Syrians are in the strike also. Some
of the workers who had accepted the
3 and loom system realize now that
by doing more work themselves they
keep other men from jobs
The strikers issued bulletin show
ing the splendid progress of the fight.
An interesting article reprinted from
the American Silk Journal shows that
Cheney Brothers, one of the largest
mills, not at Paterson, finds old weav-
ers most efficient. 1t takes 10 to 20
years really to learn the trade well,
tho many Paterson bosses foolishly
reject the gray-haired weaver.

There are a lot of cock roach"
mills, most of them run by family
with only few extra workers. Many
of these little shops, similar to sweat
shops in the garment Industries, were
bankrupt when the strike came. Now
they are reviving on contracts from
the bigger mills whose looms are idle
while the weavers strike. These

relations have been re-estab-
Iished between Russia and the
German republic.
They had almost been rup-
tured as a result of the invasion
of the Russian trade mission
building last May, when Berlin
police entered the premises to
look for an escaped Communist
prisoner, Bozenhardt, but took
occasion to rife desks and lock-
ers belonging to officials with
diplomatic standing.
Publicly ApoIosized.
The German government has had
to disavow the action of the Berlin
police and bring about the removal
from Office Of the chief of the political
division responsible for the raid. 1t
has begged the pardon of the Russian
government publicly and officially, and
has offered to make good any material
damage done in the course of the raid.
On the other hand, the Russian
government did not wholly gain its
point that the whole trade mission
building must be regarded as extra
territorial. The two governments have
agreed that the persons from the
trade mission who shall enjoy diplo-
matte immunity shall not only be
named in person, but shall have GER
tain definite rooms assigned to them
in the trade mission building, which
rooms will be regarded as extra-ter-
ritorial, while the rest Of the building
shall be considered like any other
office building in Berlin.
RapaIIo Treaty Continues
Both sides emphasize in the note
which closes the incident that the
Rapallo Treaty, by which full diplo-
matte and business relations were es-
tablished between the two countries,
shall continue as before. Also, the
Russians give new assurance that all
their diplomatic personnel will strictly
keep away from political activity.
Both sides further agree within not
more than year to work out a trade
agreement in greater detail than that
provided for in the Treaty of Rapallo.

pect to take his hat and go. The
company will deduct for flaws in the
cloth or refuse to pay a worker for a
whole piece because of few slight
slips. The new price list proposed by
the Associated Silk Workers is high
ly technical and aims to block all pos.
sible chances for the boss to cheat
the workers on their weaving. The
union demands that the list be posted

Hazardous Work.
Silk weaving is still one of the haz-
ardous occupations. Even in the new
er mills where more windows help
light and air inside, the rooms are
filed with minute lint which is ex-
tremely unhealthy for the workers to
breathe in. Where the workers weave
silk already dyed the dye dust is also
dangerous. Women, many of whom
are now weavers, easily catch their
garments in the looms and may suffer
physical injury. In the old mills, and
most of the Paterson mills are old be-
cause the industry has been so long
established here, have bad sanitary
conditions and inadequate provisions
for workers.
Young girls work at winding in the
mills and are paid the lowest possible
wages. Most get from $12 to $14 and
the highest only SIS. The silk manu-

Dawes admits that the aftermath of
the Herrin riots was inspired by an
attempt to break up the miners union
thru the medium of the Khan. Nor
man Thomas spurns every suggestion
of the class struggle as vigorously as
any of the capitalist candidates.
nATRIOTS of the hysterical days Of
1917 and 1918 may be interested
to know that the war monuments in
the French cemeteries were made in
Germany because they could be
turned out at less cost there than in
France. This is the kind of patriot
ism that millions of deluded workers
laid down their lives for.
1T is reported that Mr.. John Wheat
| ley, Minister of Health in the Brit
ish Labor cabinet, has reached an
agreement with the building contrac-
tors to incorporate clause in bill
for compulsory arbitration provision
which means denial of the right to
strike. This is the beginning of in
dustrial CONSUMPTION. While the So
called socialist ministers are treating
labor in this manner we read the fol-
lowing in a British capitalist paper:
"There was much comment on what
an excellent figure Mr.. Ramsay Mac
Donald makes in court dress. He
looked very well indeed. He stood on
tho dais with the King and Queen
while the diplomatic corps was being
presented" This should compensate
the British workers for any suffering
they may have to endure under CAPT
talism We have not learned that His
Majesty has yet Joined the Second In

soon.

as on the weavers. The girls have
been given and 4 looms instead Of 2

ers average only $40 to S25 weekly
thru the year.
Fight Overtime.
The bosses were just beginning to
reopen their mills after a long depres.
sion in which the biggest mills ran
only part time and the small ones not
at all. Some of the workers had not
yet returned to jobs when the strike
was called and they joined the fight.
The bosses had expected to get away
with 10 and IL hour work day in
stead of the hour day which had
been in force generally in the silk in
dustry. But the workers struck and
demand hours work only and no
overtime and only hours work Sat
urdays.
A strike settlement committee has
taken up headquarters in the Hotel
Manhattan where agreements with in.
dividual mills will be signed If the
bosses accept the unions terms. No
organization of bosses could be
found, even tho John A. MONT, com
missioner Of Cancellation, u. S. depart

VICTOR BERGER'S editorial writer
" says there was time when the
American Marxists held that the in

leaders of the social revolution. To
show his contempt for the world pro-

can Marxists have not changed their
views on this question. They still be-
lieve that the industrial workers will
lead the proletarian revolution, but
they also hold that the Industrial
workers must have the exploited
farmers as allies. The socialists do
not believe that either the industrial
