''Dress Well" Campaign
Forerunner to Wage Cuts

Clothes do not make the man, saith
the bard, but the clothing dealer
knows that If you buy more and bet
ter than you need it will make him
rich.
Our Dress Well and Succeed cam
paign has created a nationwide con-
seriousness of dress that is not only
reflected in increased sales" declares
Pres. r. e. Bigelow to the 18th an
nual convention of Retail Clothiers &
Furnishers in Chicago, "but has made
men of affairs everywhere suggest to
their confreres and employees that a
certain amount of thought given to
their outward appearance would not
be without increased efficiency"
Next time the boss posts a factory
order that all overalls must be clean
ed and pressed once week and that
no business suit should be worn more
than four months it will be further
proof that the retail clothiers' Dress
Well & Succeed campaign has made
another convert among the employers.
Tho officials of the national associa-
ton deny II, a campaign seems to be
getting under way in close co-opera-
ton with the clothing manufacturers
for wage cuts in the mems garment
industry.

5. LANTSUTSNY
SENDS LETTER
FROM HIS JAIL
T ellis Communists to
Aid Flood Victims
tspeeIaI 70 rhe paIIy workerl

WARSAW, Poland, Aug. &C. Com
rade Lantsutsky's latest letter to the
Communist fraction in the Polish
Selm, written from jail, is as follows:
"Dear Comrades. The country is un'
deraoing awful hardships as the re-
suit Of the unceasing rains. The fields
and hundreds Of villages are drenched
with rain. The fields have destroyed
many factories, mills, looms and work
shops. TheIranks Of the unemployed
have been swollen by hundreds and
thousands of unfortunate beggared
victims.
"The dire conditions of the peas
ants and workers are day by day be-
coming worse and worse. Thousands
of peasants homesteads have been de-
stroyed during the last few days and
its families deprived of all shelter.
Dire necessity and famine are already
sharpening their teeth and stretching
out their claws for new victims.
This tragic picture can not but
move the onlooker. Rack your brains
for new methods to aid the victims of
the existing system. The propertied
classes, lavishing millions on engines
of destruction, have never worried
their heads to safeguard the country
against the elementary misfortunes, as
result Of which the present flood has
caused so much harm. When the
country is overlooked, when famine
and poverty are most mercilessly
knocking at the door of the working
masses-the organized labor must
first of all demand that the govern
ment show most urgent aid to those
suffering from the flood.
II know that the betrayers Of the Ia
Dor movement, the Polish socialist
party, will most hypocritically declare,
that forsooth, the condition of these
victims is not all the same for them.
But what they will say, and how will
they recant to the independent cam
paign raised by us? l deem it most
necessary that our fraction in the
Seim begin a campaign and likewise
apply to the Communist Party of Po-
land and to the Comintern to aid the
victims of the flood.
With Communist Greetings, Liant
sutsky.

Novelty Workers to
Hold Organization
Mass Meetings in N. Y,
(From a Worker correspondent.l

4 (From a Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-An organ
ization drive is among the morgan
lied novelty workers in New York
City, according to statement just
issued to DAILY WORKER CORES
pendent, by the executive board of
the International Jewelry Workers
Union, Local II.
Mass meetings, to organize the jew
elry and novelty workers are being
called for the following days. Tues
day, Sept. /; Tuesday, Sept. 8; Tues
day, Sept. Is, and Tuesday, Sept. 20.
All meetings will take place at Royal
Hall, IS East 4th street, and will start
at p. m. sharp.
Conditions, in the novelty trade are
unbearable. Workers are known to
be on the job forty-eight and fifty
hours week, and it is not an uncom-
mon practice for the workers to take
work home.
Most of the men in the trade are
working piece work. Wages are very
low and it is said by some of the
workers that the pay they now re-
ceive is half the 1920 scale. All
jewelry workers are urged to come
to the mass meetings.

POLISH TERROR
AROUSES TO|LERS
OF SOVIET union
Large Protest Meetings
Held Turnout U.S.S.R.

MOSCOW, Aug. 26-The execution
Lantsutsky, the mass arrests and the
new wave of white terror in Poland
have called forth the greatest indig-
nation in the Soviet Union. Every
where from Leningrad to Tifiis, from
the Ukraine to Siberia, mass and shop
meetings have been held and sharp
protests adopted against the unexpect-
ed system of provocation and the
white terror. The mass meeting
called by the Red Aid in Moscow was
particularly stormy. Dombal analysed
the situation in Poland and pointed
out that the external and internal po-
litical situation was so desperate and
coupled with the fall of the zloty and
Il the approaching economic crisis that
the large landowners and capitalists
had no other method but to hold down
the revolutionary uprising by terror
and provocation. Revolutionary work
ers who had fed from Poland describ-
ed the horrors of the Polish prisons,
the tortures and murders, weapon
of the Polish bourgeoisie in its strug-
gle against the revolutionary workers
and peasants. The resolution of the
mass meeting demanded the release
of Gibner, Knievski and Rutkovski,
and greeted Comrade Lantsutsky. A
telegram of protest was sent to the
Polish minister of justice.

Fire Starts in Garage;

MONTREAL, Can, Aug. ga fire
started in a garage on Ontario street
near the corner of Saint Denis street
threw the crowded East end of the
city into a panic today. Men, women
and children fed from their homes in
their night clothes at the approach

from all sections of Montreal but the

coupled with the high wind seriously
hampered their work.

SEAMEN'S HEAD,
CALLS FOR AID
Seamen'S Headquarters
in Shanghai Raided
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

sHANeHAI-(5y MaiD--A letter
addressed to the DAILY WORKER by
the general secretary of the Chinese
Seamen's Union, Bruce Chen, appeals
for help from the American working
class In the hard, uphill fight being
waeed against the foreign imperiaIists
by the Chinese workers and students.
The letter announces that the reac-
tionary, foreign-controlled municipal
council Of Shanghai closed the doors
of the Chinese Seamen's Union head
quarters in Tien Dong road and arrest
ed the leaders Of the union after adj
mnisterIng severe beatings.
The Chinese seamen have been on
strike since two months ago when
they tied up Chinese ports in protest
against the fatal shooting Of Chinese
workers and students taking part in
a peaceful demonstration for the strik-
ing textile workers of Shanghai.
Foreign Conspiracy.
Chen reports that Shanghai con-
tinues under the strictest military die
tatorship with foreign troops constant
ly on duty. "At the present time"
Cheng writes, "Great Britain is con-
spring hand in hand with the Ameri-
cans and Japanese in an intrigue to
force the most powerful Chinese mill
tary general, Chang Tso Ling-an ex-
Manchurian bandit-to overthrow the
present national government, which is
sympathetic to our present struggle
against foreign Imperialism"
Already this puppet general has
tried to force us back to work at the
point Of his soldiers bayonets. We
rely upon the Intervention of the work
ers of the world to bring this plot of
foreign capitalists to failure"
Casualties.
Enclosed with the communication
were some two dozen photographs of
dead and wounded Chinese workers
and students who were shot during
the Nankin road massacre on May
30th. In this attack, led by British
troops, Al Chinese, were killed and
100 wounded. In a similar shooting
on June 18th in Hankow, Is were
killed and so wounded. In Shameen,
Canton, machine gun and three-inch
rifle fire from gunboats moored in the
Pearl river killed so and wounded 400.

that Macdonald talks about is not
worth tinker's damn to the workers.
If the miners depended on it instead

chewing the cud of defeat, as they did
