Professor Says Idea
U.S.S.R. Is Backward
Country Is Erroneous

MOSCOW, Oct. 27.-Professor Kru-
ger, while on a visit in Moscow, said
to correspondent of Pravda:
People in Europe have a wrong
conception of the u S. S. R. as a
backward country: On the contrary,
the Soviet government does not spare
efforts to raise the level of education
and culture in the republic. This is
easily seen when on visits to schools,
clubs, children's houses and Libraries.
1--WE must note especially the col
lective education Of the younger
generation. The rapid growth Of edu-
cation in such short time is unheard
Of The U. S. S. r. is more advanced
in this respect than even Germany"
Prof. Kruger also mentioned the
especially friendly relations existing
between children and teaching stan
all over the Soviet Union.

A Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-All the
drivers of the Guardian Taxi corpo-
ration have returned to work follow
ing an increase in their commission.
The men will receive 400 on the
dollar instead of $50.
The strike lasted four days and I'M
til this morning not a wheel moved
in any of the two garages. On the
first day of the strike only 300 drivers
walked out. These men were from the
East 18th ST. garage. When the other
drivers at the 122nd street garage
heard the news of their fellow work
ers on strike they also walked out
Tuesday morning. 700 men were on
strike.

They were asked three different
times, to aid in organizing the work

airy fascIsts in trying to overthrow
the Kuomintang republic is proven by
the interview given out by the reae-
tlonary Chinese leader, General Chen
chuns-min, who has found fitting
shelter in the British port of Hong
Kong.
The interview given to the British
Daily Express reveals by way Of infer
ence where Chen draws his pay check
from. It says:
Secret Source Of Arms.

we'll armed than the Reds, outnumber
them. l have the moral support Of

vents this"
But Wants More Money.
Very clearly General Chen is bidding
for more money from Great Britain, in
order that he may enlist the large
number of Russian white guard mon
archist mercenaries to his standard
for attacking the Canton government.
That Canton is not wholly tranquil
yet, or at pains to conceal its dislike
Of foreign plotters within its gates, is
seen by the anti-British strike which
not only continues, but which has laid
down a boycott against the whole of
the foreign settlement on Shameen Is

Chang Tsi-lin has thrown four divis-

the northern advance of troops Of WI
Pei-fu who are reported to have
taken Hsuchow.
WI, so it is reported from Hankow,
has declared that he is not connected
with Communists and Bolshevists, but
wants General Feng, whose rather
radical recent utternaces are we'll
known, to join him against Chang and
the Picking traitors.

SEEK TO WIDEN
PASSAIC STRIKE
TO MORE MILLS
Young Workers Strike
Like Veterans
BY ALBEIT wEIssoRn

PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 27.-Ths
three hundred and eighty strikers Of
the Passaic Worsted Spinning Co.
are conducting a heroic struggle
to wipe off the wage cuts that the
company has forced upon them. Most
of the strikers are young boys and
girls, some in their teens and some
just out of their teens. Their fight
has completely taken the company by
surprise. The company did not ex-
pect that they would show such fine
spirit and fight ~
The Second Wage Cut
The workers of the Passaic WoF.
sted Spinning Co., are the most poor
ly paid wooden workers in Passaic
Only last year their wage was cut 70
$3.50 per week for forty-eight hours
and now that is cut to $3.50.
How the company can expect
people TO live on that wage, nobody
knows, and in sheer desperation the
workers have struck. The strikers
are fighting not only for themselves
but they are really fighting for all OF
the textile workers of Passaic.
The Botany Mills, Consolidated Co.,
employing about 6,4OO workers have
Just cut wages, the Pitkin Spinning
Co. has just cut wages, the large
Forstmann and Hoffman Co. plants
and the New Jersey Spinning Co. en-
ploying about 5000 more workers are
planning to cut wages. In such
situation the fight of the small
Passaic Worsted Spinning Co. strikes
is a fight Of all of the workers in
Passaic.
Weisbord On the Ground
Albert Weisbord, secretary of the
central bureau, United Front Commit
tees of TEXTILE Workers has taken
charge of the strike. Under his direc-
ton order and discipline was esta-
blished among the strikers, the lies
of the bosses were exposed and some
organization started. Thirty of the
strikers were sent to picket the Pit
kin Co. plant and get the workers out
there if possible.
Weisbord has stated that the United
Front Committees of Textile Workers
will strive to broaden and deepen this
strike as much as possible. All the
workers of Passaic, in the Garfield
Mills, in the Botany Mills, in the
Spinning Mills, all must support this
strike and walk out.
Workers, fight against the ffty-four
hour week, fight against wage cuts,
fight against the fake mill unions,
fight for real mill committees and a
real union in the textile industry.
Mass meetings will soon be called
to get all the workers in Passaic out.

BILE and that city central bodies be
requested to aid In this work.
With this change your committee
refers the RESOLUTION TO THE
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL. Emphasis
Mine--W. r. d.
The report OF the committee was
adopted unanimously
THE machine welded the club ON
l. the organizational aspirations OF
the Bank Clerks Union when it eli
minated the compulsory features OF
the resolution, when it gave the "or-
ganizers" an alibi by stating when
ever possible" by substituting re-
quest to central bodies instead of the
special organizing committee "of the
most influential unions" and finally
when it referred the whole matter to
the executive council.
The banks clerks were lucky to be
allowed to keep what little organiza-
ton they have.
TT is very significant that even the
few proposals for organization that
are made come from federal labor
unions, state declarations and city CEN
trail bodies-the only rank and file
representation at A. F. of L. conven-
tions. Such resolution is the one
introduced by the delegate from the
North Carolina State Federation Of
Labor. The wages, living and work
ing conditions of workers, particular
" in the textile industry of this state
are miserably low. Child labor is pre-
valent and thousands of women are
also employed. The resolution point
ed out that items of thousands of
workers in all lines Of industry are
unorganized, particularly textile work
ers," and then resolved:
That the officers and the exeeut-
i've council Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor use every influence
and means possible to bring about
the organization Of these thousands
of industrial workers of North Caro-
lima.
HERE is a resolution that any labor
IL organization could adopt without
hesitation at least so it seems to
those initiated in the mysterious
ways of A. F. of L. conventions. But
the officials do not want organizing
instructions from conventions. If they
allowed this resolution to pass some
honest delegate might arise at the
next convention and inquire why they
had done nothing to organize these
textile slaves. So the committee re-
ports:
Your committee refers this reso-
luton to the executive council.
The textile workers of North Caro-
lima will remain unorganized and if
the delegate from its state federation
protests-well, he has only one vote.
So far we have seen glazing in
stances of sabotage of organizatiOnal
resolutions coming from small unions
and state bodies and dealing with spe-
cific details of organization for these
unions and localities.
In the next article we shall see to
what extent the A. F. of L. convention
was interested in national organizing
campaigns and also how it treats
even large international unions which
have incurred the displeasure Of the
offlcialdom or which the bosses want
to put out of business.
Ito be concluded)

Cleveland Wade Park
Residents Tax Selves
in Move to Bar Negro

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Oct. IA
number of white landowners in the
Wade Park district have joined an
association and are taxing" them
selves to raise a fund to be used to
fight Negroes attempting to buy
property and reside in the district.
To Buy Up Property.
At a recent meeting the white peo-
pie assessed tax of one-half of one
per cent of the value of their property,
the fund to be used to buy lots that
might otherwise go to Negroes. At
the meeting, the white property
owners fromed permanent organ
ization.
Try to Cut of Charities.
The whites also attempted to put
pressure on Negro charities, asking
the community fund to withdraw its
contributions to Negro charities if
DR.. G. H. Garvin, a colored physician,
did not agree to sell his newly built
house "at a reasonable figure"
This proposition was defeated, it
being shown that Negroes contributed
more money to the Cleveland COM
munity fund than was received by
Negro charities.
