What we said last week on the
"shiek" who invites female children
of immature years into his car for
a JOY trip, goes for this week-only
more so. This species of vampire
should be taken out of circulation
we have been informed that 1T is
the girls fault. We don't think so.
There is no girl that goes 'blooey''
without some fellow to assist her
and it is usually some fellow who
is old enough to know better. The
child is of that irresponsible age
when it knows everything and ad.
vice given it by older persons is
just so much time wasted. This is
easy meat for the girl-chasing glue
haired auto sheik and instead of
combining his efforts to girls of his
own age, he specializes in the i'm
rressionable "Kid'' with his car,
honeyed words and his ''try any
thing-once" palaver augmented with
shot of moon" from the hip. Of
feers in all cities should be en-
powered to arrest these pests as
soon as they start honking their
horn to attract the attention of
some grille waiting on the corner.
Hundreds of plays similar to the
stunt pulled by Dorothy Ellingson
in San Francisco are being enacted
in the country every day and while
all do not eliminate in murder, all
leav a trail of sorrow both for
the girl and her parents. The tob-
began slide on the road to damnation
is usually made under the supervi-
sion of some modern "shiek", usual
ly old enough to know better.

ski Slide In Use Mex, Sunday.

The ski slide on the hill south of
town is completed and next Sunday
will see the same in use for the
first time. Local enthusiasts will
try out the slide and all are invit-
ed to make use of the handsome
structure and the winter sports fac
ilit.es provided. A take-off has
been placed at about the middle of
the shde where the younger gen.
GRAFTON can start. Much enthusi-
asm is manifest in this kind of
sport and the slide will be a popu-
lar place of amusement Later in
the season, expert riders and jump
ers from Duluth, Coleraine and Sou
dan will be here and give an ex-
hibition of jumping. Among these
will be several with World records.

broadcasted from Station KFMX,

The several sets about town tuning

with much pleasure by the many
Ely friends of the broadcasters. The
two numbers mentioned above were
exceptionally fine.

The New York Bazaar

New York's annual bazaar to
raise funds for the defense of the
victims Of the class war is one Of
the big events Of the metropolis.
This year, in view of the threat
sned offensive Of the American
brand Of the white terror, should
see 1t bigger than ever.
Workers Of all natlonaIities will
participate in the four-dsy pro-
gram that opened at the Lyeeum
on Wednesday. Workers speaking
all tongues should swell the
thongs In attendance.
This Is the Joint bazaar Of the
international Workers Aid and the
Labor Defense Council; two organ
izations that have stood In the
vanguard receiving the brunt OF
the capitalist attack. They can
only succeed In their efforts as
they are supported by broad
masses Of workers. The bazaar at
the Lyeeum offers another oppor-
tunlty TO reach workers who but
dimly see the meaning Of the re-
peated onslaunhts Of the explolters
against the organization Of labor.
Draw these workers into the strue-
Gle for the defense Of the whole
working class. That Is one way to
support the defense bazaar now
being held In New York City.

So private have these negotiations

The French and British govern

The proposal is that the military

Strike AGAINST
wage CUTS GETS
GREAT IMPETUS
Stirring Meeting Held
at MiddIeborO, Mass.
Especial to The DAILY wOrkerl


MIDDLEBoRo, Mass, Fob. 1.-THE
strike at the Nemasket Worsted Mills
which has been bitterly fought for
five months without break In the
ranks received new impetus at a
mass meeting at Owls Hall in Middle
boro.
The strikers resolved to redouble
their efforts on the pick line, to in
tensify their efforts to interview the
scabs at their hotel quarters, and to
take immediate steps to widen the
field of operations.
Urge United Front.
It was decided to propose a united
front arrangement with other mill
towns where strikes are on or where
wage cuts have been made, a1d with
all textile workers organizations in
New England covering both wooden
and cotton mills whether affected OF
not by the wage cuts.
Robert Minor, present as cores
pendent of The DAILY WORKER,
gave review Of the entire New Eng
land textile wage situation, pointing
out that the Middleboro strike is not
an isolated incident, but that by con-
Meeting up with other mill towns the
movement could be made a quarter
million strong, and could then be
made irresistible The mill owners
talk about meeting competition of
southern cotton mills could be an
swered, said Minor, by extending the
labor organization to the southern
mills. This could be done only If
the textile workers compelled the ex-
listing many small unions to amalga-
mate into a single industrial union
and to bring in the unorganized. Talk
of foreign competitor should be an
swered with extending the organiza-
ton internationally, a work which is
Dalready being done by the Red Inter
ternational of Labor Unions.
Reid Addresses Meeting.
James r. Reid, atfWorl-ers Party
leader of Providence and former pres
ident of the old National Union Of
Textile Workers, explained the united
front committee arrangement now be-
ing pressed by the Workers Party, by
which the resistance to the wage re-
luction drive could be co-ordinated
turnout New England, and urged a
strengthening of the picket line.
Orville ]. Remillard, chairman of
the Nemasket Council of the Anal
gamated Textile Councils, and many
Middleboro strikers, as well as visit
ing weavers from Plymouth, spoke for

FRENCHIYELLOWS
CONTINUE PACT
WITH HERRIOT
Especial to The DAILY worker)


PARIS, Feb. 11.-After listening to
M. Blum and other high moguls of the
socialist party, defend the united front
with Herriot the socialist congress
voted to continue the present alliance.
There was some opposition to the
present role OF the parliamentary
fraction of the socialist party at the
opening Of the congress but it died a
happy death under the blasts of Blum
and others.
On Swapping Mules
The main reasons given by Blum for
his aversion to making change were
that it is bad policy to switch ordeN
once an army is on the march and
secondly because the country in gen.
eral would not understand the social
lists. Two very profund arguments
indeed as any general not in his dot
age will admit
The socialist party of France under
the generalshlp Of Blum, is like its
sister socialist parties. on the road to
destruction and its leaders are willing
to allow it to perform the function Of
depositing them (the leaders) into the
laps Of the bourgeoisie. The country
may not understand the socialists but
the workers are learning to under
stand them. thanks to their treachery
and to the Communists.
