Weisbord to Speak at
Philadelphia Rally for
Passaic Mill Strikers

PHILADELPHIA, April - The
Philadelphia conference for the relief
of the striking Passaic textile work
ers is beginning its relief campaign
with two mass rallies.
For Tuesday, April 10, at D. m. two
large halls have been engaged and the
committee is confident that both halls
will be jammed to capacity, because
the Philadelphia trade unionists are
anxious to come to the aid of their
struggling brothers in Passaic. The
halls engaged are the Kensington La
Dor Lyceum, in the heart of the textile
district, and the Labor Institute, Sth
and Locust streets.
The speakers will be Albert Weis-
bord, leader and organizer of the TO-
600 Passaic strikers; Elizabeth Gurley
Flynn, well known labor organizer, and
Robert Dunn of the Civil Liberties
Union Of New York. Admission to
the meetings will be free.

Still Carry ON
SLAVE TRAFFIC
IN many PLACES
CenterS Are in Africa
and Asia Minor

LONDON, April - Sir Frederick
Lugard, chairman Of the commission
Of experts appointed by the league of
nations two, years ago to formulate
an international convention for the
wIping out Of slavery, and a former
British governor Of Nigeria, reported
that the investigators have discovered
that a considerable traffic In slaves
still is being carried on in various
parts Of the world.
This trade ,centers principally in
Africa and Asia Minor. "The traffic
in slaves from Africa to Arabia, chief
ly from AbSssinia, is very consider
able" he finds There is also a regu-
lar business in the sale of attend
ants" carried on by pilgrims from
Nigeria and other parts of Moslem
Africa to Mecca and Of girls from
Java and Malaysia. 1t is estimated
that in this district alone about 3d.
900 human beings are annually sold
into slavery. .
Whole Populations Enslaved.
Nearly all the wretched victims
who are shipped across the Red Sea
into Arabia come from Southern Abys-
sinia, where eyewitnesses have report
ed that whole areas are being practi-
cally denuded Of inhabitants by the de-
predations of the slave-traders who
carry on their evil traffic without
visible let or hindrance, in spite of
the numerous proclamations Of the
Ethiopian authorities. The slaves are
taken in droves to the sea coast; the
port Of Tajura has achieved unen-
viable notoriety in this connection.
In certain sections of Morocco,
notably among the Senussi tribesmen
who dwell in the Libyan desert, the
trade is also conducted. Two Ameri-
can investigators, Ross and Cramer,
have reported horrible conditions
prevailing in Angola, the Portuguese
possession in East Africa.
In the Rangoon district of Burmah
the British government has at last
taken measures to free several thou
sand girl slaves. In other localities in
India a slave traffic goes on, I'M
molested by the English.

Resolutions in favor of worldwide

ing up ana down IN patient picket
line in front of his house, carrying
signs, Senator Edwards, we are the
real strikers, please see u.s." Another
committee Of strikers waited all day
long in Passaic, hoping that the New
Jersey senator would come to the
strike area so that they could tell
him about their needs. 1t was nearly
eight o'clock in the evening before
Senator Edwards came home, and the
strikers who had watched his Jersey
City mansion all day got to see him.
Dramatic Meeting.
It was a dramatic meeting. The
four strikers, an old woman, mother
Of nine children, who had given the
best years of her life to the mills,
young girl, enthusiastic with youth,
and two young men, one from the
Botany mill where the strike began.
They faced the representative of New
Jersey in the senate who had declared
to his colleagues that their strike was
unjustified, that the senatorial inves-
tigation was not needed, who had
come to make an investigation" Of
his own, and had refused to meet
their leader, disinterested citizens, and
all their friends. They had come
alone, without the counsel of their
leader, inexperienced in dealing with
men Of affairs, to plead their cause.
Attacks Leaders.
But if the senator thought he could
fool these strikers, he was mistaken.
He excluded newspaper men so that
no first hand accounts of what took
place would be on record and then
began to attack the strike leadership.
Nancy Sandowsky was too clever for
him.
1--WE did not come to talk about Mr..
Weisbord, senator" she said. 1--WE
came to tell you about conditions in
the mills"
"Well, what are the conditions?
What do you mean when you say they
are unsanitary?" asked the senator.
What They Mean.
81 mean that when a worker takes
off his coat in the morning he has no
place to hang it, but he must put it
on the pipes, and water drips on it
all day long, so when he is thru at
night he must put on wet Clothes"
said Carl Trocola, of the United Piece
Dye Works in Lodi water drips on
the workers all day from the pipes on
the ceiling because they are out Of
order"
John Sabo from the Botany mill
spoke up. I'm the Botany we have no
place to eat our lunch, but we have
to eat it at our machines" he said.

LYNCH ASSAILS
LAWS AGAINST
FOREIGN-DOUN
Bosses Seek eIIow
Ticket" System
Especial to The Daily warkerl

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April p
James M. Lynch, president Of the In
ternationaI Typographical Union and
leader Of the reactionary group in the
Typographical Union, in a statement
attacks the anti-forelgn born bills that
are now In congress as an attempt on
the part of the bosses to establish
the "yeilow ticket system" and the
creation Of bureau to aid in the in
timidation of the foreign-born work
er.
Would Register Citizens Later.
"The International Typographical
Union has members of foreign birth,
many Of them employed on foreign
language newspapers, and it will en-
deavor to protect them from espion-
age. While the favorite plan of the
registration advocates would require
enrolment only of those immigrants
who arrive in future, it would be but
a short step, and a logical one, to
extend it to all the 100000 residents
OF foreign birth in the United States.
That is the plan sponsored by the de-
partment of labor. Indeed, there
would be constant temptation to ex-
tend it to all people resident in the
United States.
eve would then have transplanted
the czarist police ideal Of keeping con-
slant tab on the individual, catalog-
ing his political and economic opin-
ions as well as any criminal proclivi-
ties he might reveal-the yellow
ticket" system.
VIII Help Employers.
This registration plan, which GER
tain interests are bent on jamming
thru the present congress If it can
be done quietly, is calculated to be of
immense benefit to large employers
who would like to have a friendly
governmental bureau in constant con-
troll of their alien employees, an instru-
ment they might use for the intimida-
tion OF these employees.
'"T'he measures to which have ref
erence are the Aswell registration bill,
which makes it compulsory that all
aliens present themselves for registra-
ton every year, and the Sosnowski
bill, which differs from the Aswell
bill in that it makes registration vol
untary.
Atrocious Espionage System.
''Under the terms of the Holiday
bin, a companion of the Aswell and
Sosnowski measures, all aliens would
be liable to deportation any time after
hearing. Thus all aliens would be re-
quired to. order their opinions and ac-
tivities to please their governmental
preceptors.
THE entire plan constitutes a pro-
posal for a pussyfooting and atrocious
espionage system, which from the
start would enable persecution. or an
noyance of any citizen.
ut is silly to shift the blame for
the crime wave onto foreigners. Ma
tive talent needs no lesson from
abroad on that point. Newspapers re-
Gently carried the statement that only
% per cent of New York states pris-
on population consisted of aliens.
Making of aliens wards of the
state is not going to solve our alien
problems. We have gone far enough
in the direction of government by pa
ternalism combined with spying and
prying."

Modify Restrictions
on Aliens, Says u. S.
Chamber of Commerce

WASHINGTON, April z - Registra-
ton of aliens in the United States as
proposed by Secretary of Labor Davis
is turned down by the immigration
committee of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce, in special report
issued here, to be considered at the
chambers annual meeting in May.
The main point raised Is that the
Davis scheme would involve an I'M
bearable amount of spying and sus-
picion.
However, compromise is suggest
ed. Instead of compulsory registra-
ton, the chamber committee fayors
the issuance of certificates of resi-
dence or arrival for aliens who
reached this country before June 80,
1924, in addition to the arrival GER
tifcates now being issued to those
who have come since that date. The
alien would in each case have to pre-
sent satisfactory evidence Of his
claim to a certificate.
Not only would the Davis plan be
impossible of enforcement, the COM
mittee finds, but it would raise a
question of treaty rights with other
countries, unless American citizens
are likewise to be compelled to regis
ter their movements in countries
abroad. The fact is that the chamber
has been compelled because Of the agi-
tation in behalf of the foreign-born,
notably by the activities of the Com
munists in the organization of councils
for their protection in all parts of the
country, to recede from the demand
Of its most bitterly anti-union ele-
ments for the registration Of all
aliens.

their simple, terrible stories.
"You should elect a committee Of
your own workers, and meet with a
committee from the mill owners.
Leave out Weisbord," said the sena-
tor.
1--WE have always been willing to
elect a committee like that" the
strikers told him. "The bosses won't
meet us. They want to break our I'M
ion"
Wesbord's Statement.
Albert Weisbord, organizer, con-
firmed their statement later. He
said, "In the interview a committee of
strikers had with Senator Edwards
yesterday the point was brought out
that it might be feasible for a COM
mittee of strikers themselves, local
leaders, to attemptto settle the strike
This suggestion is the same as was
brought out several days ago by the
chamber Of commerce and in relation
to this the United Front Committee
of Textile Workers wishes to state
that It is ready and always had been
ready to elect committee of strikers
to negotiate with the mill owners
whenever the mill owners honestly
desired settlement Of the strike"
