LEST We Forget .


There is a yast difference be-
tween advertising and delivering
the goods. This fact holds true
with reference to the climatic
claims made by different cities Of
the u. S. in order to put their best
foot forward and thereby attract
the homeseeker. Whether we Ike
il or not, climate is one OF the
three big factors community
must deal with when the stranger
comes seeking a home This paper
is willing to assert without quail
fication that of all sections OF the
country over which the stars and
stripes float none can offer more
and very few can offer as many
reasons for a perfect, all-theyear
climate, as dear little Vashon is

CHICAGO LABOR
WILL PROTEST
ANTI-ALIEN PACT
Mass Meeting March "a
at Schoenhofen Hall

There are before congress four bills
directed against foreign-born workers
in the United States. II any Of these
becomes law the status of every for
eign-born worker in the country will
be that of suspect liable to Grim
inal prosecution. The significance and
especially the class nature of these
laws will be discussed in full at a
meeting to be held on Wednesday,
March "a at 8 p. m. in Schoenhoffen
Hall at Ashland and Division streets.
The speakers will be Robert Minor,
editor of the New DAILY WORKER
Magazine and Arne Swabeck, district
organizer Of Workers (Communist)
Party District Eight.
The most dangerous Of these pro-
posals, the Aswell bill, asks that
every alien worker in the country be
forced to submit periodically to the
fndignities of the rogues' gallery.
Photographs, finger-prints, complete
family history and biography, regular
registration - in word, provisions
that go the worst European passport
laws one better, constitute the Aswell
bill. The penalty for failure to reg.
lister is $4,000 fine, two years impris-
onment and deportation. Full powers
are vested in the United States de-
partment of labor for the execution
Of the law.
The other bills, the McClintic bill,
the Hayden and Taylor bills and the
Sosnowski bill are either variations or
supplements to the common object Of
all the proposed laws affecting
aliens-the intimidation of the for
eign-born worker and blow at or
ganized labor as a whole.
The class nature of these measures
is obvious. They constitute an at
tempt to initiate a great national
blacklist system in the operation Of
which the government will directly
cooperate with all the big employers
of labor. The primary object is to
destroy all organization among for
eign-born workers and to make impos.
sible in the future such brave strug-
giles as the steel strike Of 1919. the
great textile strikes and the gigantic
mine conflicts, the backbone of which
have been the foreign-born workers.
Every foreign-born worker has a d.
rect interest in these pernicious meas
ures now before congress and will do
well to acquaint himself with all the
details of them by attending the meet
ing in Schoenhoffen Hall on Wednes-
day, March "a.

their spies and stool pigeons to get
delegations satisfactory to them SO
that the vast majority of the workers
could be betrayed into accepting any
imposition of the bosses.
Strikebreaker Proposal Rejected
This impudent demand was fatty
rejected by the committee which de-
clared that they would not permit
others to pass on what they shall eat
or wear. Frank Walsh plainly said
that for the government to take re-
sponsibility for such a proposal was
to place it in the role of strike
breaker.
After more than two hours the con-
ference finally adjourned with the
promise that a statement would be
submitted by Walsh for the commit
tee in a short time After day the
statement was drawn up and re-
iterated the full demands of the
strikers, and launched a counter blast
against the demands Of the mill own
ers that Weisbord get out of the
strike by assailing the representatives
of the owners, particularly Colonel
Johnson, who speaks for the Botany
Mill before which all the violence in
the strike has occurred.

PASSAIC STRIKERS PRESENT THEIR
DEMANDS TO THE UNION SMASHING
SECRETARY OF LABOR, JAMES DAVIS

In comparison with the situation of
the unfortunate workers and the ex-
ceedingly high tariff granted to this
industry, we call your attention to the
fact that, according to high financial
authority, the net earnings Of some of
the mill companies involved, as re-
presented by cash dividends and the
issuance of preferred and common
stock dividends, exceed SO per cent
a year.
National Strike Looms.
We also call your attention to the
fact that one of the reasons given by
the mill owners tor paying starvation
wages in New Jersey is their alleged
inability to compete with the New
England textile mills, where rents and
other living costs are lower than in
Passaic. Obviously, if conditions are
not relieved in New Jersey, this strike
must and will extend to the other
textile industries of the country, there
by bringing widespread maladjust-
ment, as we'll as hunger and suffer
ing to countless thousands Of honest
and industrious workers.
We are taking the liberty Of making
these suggestions TO the end that a
just and peaceful settlement of the
strike may be brought about and the
present reign of terror in the New
Jersey textile industry ended.
For Prompt Settlement.
We recognize that the fundamental
basis Of right to collective bargaining
is the free selection of representa-
tives by both employers and en-
ployes. Nevertheless, we feel it our
duty on behalf of those whom we rep
resent to present these facts for your
consideration so that you may use
your conciliatory influence to prevent
The selection of the said Johnson as a
representative of the textile employ
ers and endeavor to bring about
prompt settlement of the strike and
relief to the thousands Of suffering
workers.
Very respectfully,
Employees Strike Committee.
