RIFFS CONTINUE
TO HOLD PAINS
TROOPS AT BAY
Moslerns Warn Allies
Against interference

TANGIER, Morocco, Feb 9.-Spain
now has 100000 men in western Mo-
rocco fighting the Riffs, led by prince
MANNED Ben Abdel Krim, brother Of
the sultan. The Spanish troops have
not been able to blockade the Riffs,
who have free access to Tangier,
which they claim they could capture
at will. 1t is declared that Spain
would need 100000 men to success
fully blockade the Riffs.
Two thousand Moslem delegates to
the Khilafat conference meeting re-
Gently at Balgaum, India, passed
resolution condemning the Spanish at
tack on the Riffs, and warning Eng
land and France against attempts to
intervene against the Riffs on the side
of Spain.
The resolution declares:-
"This conference offers its warmest
congratulations to the heroes of Riffs,
who under their gallant and intrepid
chief, Ghazi Amir Abdul Krim, have
so bravely defended their liberties and
whose glorious feats Of arms have
filed the world with admiration and
establishment. This conference con-
dennis the unrighteous and wanton
attack of Spaniards on Riffs and the
barbarous atrocities committed by
them during the course of the war.
"The conference further warns Eng
land and France that any attempt on
their part to deprive the Riffs Of the
fruits of their hard-earned success and
to crush their liberties as is fore
Swallowed in the recent utterances of
their ministers will be treated as an
act of hostility towards the Moslems
Of the world"
The chamber of deputies of France
has granted Marshal Lyautey addition
al credits Of 100000 francs to be
used by the French in Morocco to pre-
pare for war against the Riffs. The
government of Syria had given this
money for the upkeep Of French
troops there, but the chamber voted
to use the money to prepare against
the Riffs in Morocco.
The Communists voted in a body
against the war appropriation. All
other parties, including the socialist
deputies, voted to send more troops
to the colonial possession.

PAWTUCKET, r. l., Feb. o. A
mass meeting of strikers of the Green
halgh Cotton mills here yesterday, de-
cided unanimously to continue the
strike begun a week ago against the
wage cut and to begin picketing the
mills this morning when the company
attempted to reopen.
The picket line was on duty before
daylight today and no worker or scab
entered the gates. The strikers held
another mass meeting this morning at
Carpenters Hall and reported the
strike one hundred per cent solid. Not
withstanding the success here and de-
spite the general nature of the textile
struggle thruout New England, Will
lam T. Mcmahon, president Of the
United Textile Workers yesterday de-
clared his policy to be against calling
a general textile strike to resist the
wage cut but only to eight at the
weakest point"
Workers of the Ninegret Mills here
yesterday in a mass meeting at Car
penters' Hall, were practically unani-
nous in expressing their desire to
strike against the ten per cent wage
cut. Mcmahon addressed the meeting
and persuaded them to take no action.
The strike Of $50 girls of the Paw
tucket Hosiery Mills now IN its fifth
week, was reported at a mass meet
ing yesterday to be without a break,
the picketing being entirely success
full.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Feb Am
attempt to precipitate race riot in
the Fall River strike situation was
made last night when a fight in the
Flint street district apparently melted
by provocators, involved a hundred
Syrian and Portuguese mill workers.
Four men are under arrest. No cause
can be found for the disturbance ex-
cept that unknown persons started
shouting denunciations Of Portuguese
workers in the Syrian working class
district Of Flint street and similar de-
nunciations Of Syrian workers. Thru
out this section mill owners have be-
gun systematically Offering the jobs
of striking Syrians to Portuguese and
the jobs of striking Portuguese to Syr-
JAMS. Syrian workers imported from
Lawrence by means OF misrepresenta-
tons to scab on the striking French
Canadian and native workers of the
Nemasket Mills at Mtadleboro, Mass,
have in some instances been persdad-
ed to return to Lawrence after a strik-
ers' committee explained the situation
to them.

His SteamrolIer Runs In

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-With a
bitter fight threatened by democratic
insurgent coalition, the senate judic-
larry committee today Unexpectedly
postponed final action on the nomin-
alton of Charles B. Warren of Detroit,
as attorney general to succeed Harlan
f. Stone.
The committee discussed the ap-
pointment in secret session for two
hours and then adjourned without
having reached a decision.
Members of the committee declined
to comment on the reason for the de-
lay. Senator Sterling, republican of
South Dakota, acting chairman said
the nomination would be considered
again at another meeting. This was
an unusual procedure and indicated
further delay in the committees final
action.
Indications were the nomination
would be tied up indefinitely despite
administration efforts to force early
confirmation.

to get together now in this crisis and
cut out this division which is bring
ing you to ruin. You rank and file
workers have got to force these yari-
Gus textile unions to amalgamate now,
quickly, and you have got to get a
single industrial union of all the tex
tile workers without exception or dis
elimination
Majority Have No Union.
And these existing little organiza-
tons can't hog it all, either, and pre-
tend that they now represent the
workers. The truth is that the vast
majority are not organized at all
They won't be organized unless you
take it on yourselves to do it thru
your united front committee.
These mill owners claim that they
have to reduce your pay to meet the
competition of the southern mills
where they say that wages are rs to
80 per cent lower than in New Eng
land because there has never been
any labor organization in the southern
mills.
"Then, by Cod, it's time for you to
put some labor unlonlsm Into the
south. Again, you can't have any Of
feet on the south unless you have one,
single, huge textile union covering
the whole country. And that's anoth-
er reason why you have to force these
little unions to merge into one huge
organization and draw the inorganic
ed majority into it. Otherwise there
will be no labor unions north or south,
and soon they'll be reducing the south
ern wages, and then yours again.
"But then they say they have to
meet foreign competition. BY their
hideous Dawes plan, they reduce the
German workers to starved beggars
working in rags, and then they say
they have to reduce you toward the
same standard to meet the competi-
ton
what is the lesson OF that? Simply
that you've got to extend your organ
ization, not only turnout all New Eng
land, and not only turnout Alabama
Georgia, the Carolinas and the whole
country-but also thruout all the coun
tries Of the world internationally.
Nov I'll tell you that something
has already been done in this line. The
Red international of Labor Unions Is
already organized. The more advanc

Resolution Of Lawrence Textile
Workers, Mass Meeting
e. a0OE
The textile workers of New Eng
land are now facing a concerted drive
on the part Of the mill owners to re-
duce wages;
The Everett mills, Pacific mills, the
Acadia mills and the Lawrence Duck
mill have already made wage cuts
averaging from 10 per cent to % per
cent;
Speeding-up systems, in which oper-
ators are required to run from 26 to
70 looms have been instituted;
In Manchester, Fall River, New Bed
ford, and in the Blackstone and Paw
tuxet valleys the mill owners have
slashed wages;
Wage cuts, longer hours, speeding
up!-that is the message Of the textile
bosses united In the National Associa-
ton of Cotton Manufacturers. Some OF
the companies that make this an
nouncement paid up to 262 per cent
dividends in the period Of 1850, on
watered stock;
In answer to this challenge OF the
textile millionaires, thousands OF tex
tile workers are on strike;
The bosses are united in their drive
to reduce the textile workers TO slave
conditions. The textile workers are
divided into many unions, and none Of
these is strong enough, to say nothing

HOUSE CURTAILS
talk ON POSTAL
PAY RAISE BILL
House Bill Draws Fire of
Newspapers
Especial to the Daily worker)


WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 9.-Ac-
cording to present plans the new
postal workers salary increase and
postal rate raise bill, presented to the
house by the post office committee,
will be driven thru the house under a
special rule curtailing debate. Amend
ments are expected to be limited to
those introduced by the post office
committee.
The bill was attacked by the news
paper publishers as soon as it was
placed before the house by the com
mittee. They objected on the ground
that it raised the zone rates on second
class mail.
Instead Of the salary increase being
retroactive to July l, as the senate
postal bill provided, the house bill
makes the raise retroactive only tc
Jan. 1, 1925.
The house postal bill, II passed, will
have TO go to a conference between
representatives Of the senate and the
house to settle differences between the
Moss bill passed by the senate, and
the house bill. It is probable that the
raise for the postal workers will still
be hanging fire when congress adj
journs.
