unanimously voted support to
Saklatvala in his fight against
British Imperialism on behalf of
the working class.
"As long as the wicked and criminal
rule of Great Britain in India, Africa
and China continues the workers of
the west will be in danger" Saklat-
vala said.
A resolution was unanimously pass
cd denonuncing Americas treatment
of Saklatvala repudiating the false
charges made by the Coolidge officials,
and expressing the hope that "the
sense Of honor and justice among the
American masses will ultimately pre-
vail to permit SaklatVala to go to
America"
Speaks to Overflow Throngs
After the indoor meeting, Saklat-
vala addressed a great overflow ga
thering outside. The huge crowds
carried Red flags and sang revolution
airy songs.
The tremendous demonstration for
saklatvala disproves beyond doubt
the propaganda which has been
spread broadcast in the American
kept press that Saklatvala's consti-
tuents had repudiated him. They
showed that they we're solidly behind
Saklatvala's attack on imperialist
mis-rule in India and the other colon
ial colonies.

No Free Speech In U. s.
A writer in the Evening Standard
declares, America, in the sense Of
countenancing freedom of opinion,
never has been land OF freedom. It
is a land Of property, with all the
force Of law and public opinion at
the ready disposal of things as they
are. Minorities never have had any
rights worth mentioning in the United
States. There is freedom of speech
there, but the thing spoken must al
ways agree with the view Of the
majority"

BILE for a polisher to earn $1.1O per
hour
"At present it is impossible for
polisher to know what he will make
working on the piece rate basis.
Every Job has a different piece rate
and sometimes the worker will get
but an average of Is cents an hour
We want to change this so that he
will be able to earn a decent wage"
The Cribbent and Sexton company
employs about 500 workers in its
plant manufacturing the Universal
stoves. ranges and furnaces. 1t is
considered one of the largest plants
making stoves in the middle west.
This company systematically opposes
all attempts on the part Of its work
ers to organize. The molders are the
only ones in the shop that have an
organization. which numbers $50
workers. The metal polishers' orga-
nization was smashed by the Cribben
and Sexton company three years ago.
The metal polishers are again reor-
ganizing and intend to carry on the
fight until their demands are granted.
The company attempted to cut the
day rate from 81. an hour to IS cts.
and piece prices were arranged to
suit the convenience of the company.
This firm pays its laborers but AZ and
as cents an hour, stove mounters
receive but rs cents a stove and the
high wage for one who breaks his
neck is about $500. The company
also employs a number of women in
its enameling department. The wo-
men enamel various parts of the
stoves and ranges and work on a
piece rate basis. BY working very
hard they are able to make about
s25 a week. The company is having
more and more Of it's work sent into
the enameling shop so as to eliminate
the polishers as much as possible.
The strike of the polishers has come
at the time of the year when the
Cribben and Sexton company is in
its busiest season. The company is
sending its work to the Chicago Plat
ing Company, formerly known as the
Cooperative Plating Co., 351 West

made to turn out the Universal rang

endeavoring TO round up enough
