Mexico Gives Rail
Lines Three Months
for "Readjustment"
Especial to The Daily Worker,

MEXICO CITY, July IL. - The gov
eminent has given the management
of the Mexican railways three months
to make 'readjustments," after which
disputes between the company and the
railwaymen's union will be submitted
to labor arbitration court, IL agree
ment has not been reached privately.
The court of arbitration has been
only recently curtailed in its powers
by limiting its jurisdiction only to
disputes between capitalists and labor
organizations. 1t has hitherto had the
power to judge cases wherein damages
were asked by workers individually.
The strike of rail men on the 18TH
mus, pan-American and Vera Cruz and
Isthmus lines is reported to have been
beaten, the Mexican Federation of La
Dor &C. r. o. NJ sending its men in
as strikebreakers and further accent
uating the bitterness between the fed.
Grafton and the railwaymen's union
which has been independent of the
federation.
The loss Of the strike in the south
has discouraged a strike on the Mex
lean railway. The railwaymen's union,
usually alleged to be red" is far from
being 80, according to observers, who
say 1t is more conservative than the
c. r. o. M. and aided the reactionary
movement Of De la Huerta.

ALL ENEMIES OF
LABOR WAR UPON
PASSAIC STRIKE
A. F. of L. "Takes Pay
for Treason"

PASSAIC, N. ]. July IL. -FP)-
New effort is being made to break the
strike of 10000 textile workers here.
A so-called citizens committee of 300
has been organized. 1t is composed
largely of local business men, and
others who are close to the mill own
ers or who are susceptible to the fat
terry of Colonel Johnson of the Botany
Mills.
They held their initial meeting July
6 and bitterly assailed Albert Weis-
bord, the Harvard law school graduate
VINO is leading the strike. Spokesman
for the citizens committee" charac-
terized Weisbord and his associates
as "harpies preying on the peaceful,
decent community of Passaic," and de-
nounced them as Communists opposed
to American institutions.
Bosses Say mot Bona Flds."
Now the committee is publishing
big display advertisements in the To-
cal papers, calling on the strikers to
return to work; declaring the United
Front Committee is not a bona fide
labor organization; and asserting that
che committee of 800 are friends Of
Ehe workers" and have their interests
at heart.
In answer, the United Front Com
mtttee points out that the strike has
been prolonged into its 24th week not
by the workers, but by the manufac-
turers, who have refused 70 discuss
the matters at issue with representa-
tives OF the strikers.
The Textile Worker, organ Of the
United Textile Workers, the only A
r. OF L. union in the industry, con-
tinues TO publish large display adj
verttsements of the three firms on
strike, Forstmann and HUFFMAN, Bo-
tany Mills, and Gera Mills. But 1t
publishes no news about the strike.
Commenting on this, the Nation
says: "That looks like accepting pay
for treason" And the Nation says
also: when the executive council
Of the American Federation Of Labor
denounced the Passaic strike because
there were Communists among its
leaders it committed treason to labor
in the name of official labor loyalty"

Passaic Strikers Reply to A. F. of L.

Passaic strike of nearly six months is
a Communist strike, or "a strike for
Communism" In a recent public
statement you, yourself, declared that
the demands of the Passaic textile
strikers were just demands. No worker
will take this charge seriously or place
trust in those who continue to make
it. The countrywide support given to
the Passaic strikers and their leaders
by hundreds of working-men Of all
political beliefs and affiliations, and
the help given by church groups which
not even the blacklist open-shoppers
have yet dared to call Communist"
show that this allegation is ground
less.
Show II Is Bona-f7de Strike.
Lawyers, Journalists, United States
senators and prominent churchmen,
together with many labor unions and
union officials affiliated with the A. F.
OF L. have endorsed the aims and pur-
poses of the strike. Our strike is a
bona fide one and the struggle is
wholly in line with the best traditions
OF the American labor movement.
The committee conducting this
strike. the United Front Committee,
is charged with being a dual union.
We have always indicated our readi-
ness TO affiliate with the A. F. of L.
II is a matter of public record that
on our own initiative, we addressed
Iva 80 ~
the A. F. Of l.. to bring about the
unity of all textile unions under the
A. F. of L. and our committee pledged
itself to render every assistance to
bring our workers under the banner
Of your organization.
Our unsolicited approach 10 you was
evaded and we were referred to Mr..
Thomas f. Mcmahon, the president of
the United Textile Workers of Amer
lea. Negotiations were entered into
by our United Front Committee with
the United Textile Workers. A COM
mittee was elected by the committee
conducting the strike TO meet with a
committee OF the United Textile Work
ers to enter into arrangements for
complete afflliation. These negotia-
lions were blocked by the action OF
Mr.. Mcmahon, president Of the United
Textile Workers, who declared that
until the strike was ended, no action
along these lines could be taken.
We find in your statement the fol
lowing:
"The working people OF America can
raise their standard OF life and living,
whether It be those employed in the
textile industry or in any other lines
Of industry, by Joining the bona.flde,
organized labor movement. We wei.
come ALL"

tile Workers of Passaic and vicinity

promise. In the name OF the 10000

dom. 1t was General Davis who
wrote hypocritically of the Moros:
"They are able to produce rice,
sugar cane, coffee, corn, cattle, beau
tiful woven fabrics and thrustIng
and cutting weapons; they manurac-
ture bronze cannon and gunpowder
and give surprising proofs of their
ingenuity and industry. Their boats
are fashioned and rugged and sailed
with the utmost skill and are ad-
mired by all strangers. A race of
men who are doing all this, and who
possess manly qualities, should be
kept alive and not shot down in
war" Je
Those were pious utterances made
by General Davis after the whole
sale slaughter of the Moros had
brought them to their knees with
the defeat of the Filipino republic
under Aguinaldo. They will be put
aside now as new military units
dedicated to the mass murder of
these American colonials in the
orient are led against the Moros by
recognized experts in the art of
wholesale slaughter. &

buffer against the rebellious Moham-
medans. Thus the dollar again seeks
to plant its power in the rich soil of
religious differences.
The Moro was assured by his for
eign master from North America,
who had taken the place of the
Spanish tyrant from Europe, that
he would not be subjugated to any
native Christian administration as
long as the stars and stripes were
planted over the islands. But he
lived to learn that this was only
some American buncombe, the blah
of the advance agent of great bust
ness. Christianity was being used,
just as much as an army of invasion
to enslave him to profit rule. That
is why he fights.
There are several forms of strug-
gle against American greed. There
is the struggle of the workers at
home. There is the struggle Of the
oppressed in the colonies. There is
the struggle of dollarsubjugated ma
tons that still retain their political
independence. There is the strug-
gle of other competing national
greeds, also seeking world suprem-
acy. All of these forms of struggle
are not now actively at work. But
some of them, like the workers en-
gagged in the New York traction
strike and the discomfort of the
Moros in the Philippines, are exam
pies of the never-ending struggle
against American Imperialism that
will ultimately encompass it's COM
plete defeat and destruction.

the A. F. of L. cannot find good
reasons for Directing to our demands.
These are the vital issues in this
strike. Around these issues we, 10000
textile workers, have rallied, and are
carrying on a heroic and determined
struggle against the powerful employ
ers for better standard Of living and
for trade union organization.
Struggle Wins Support.
Our heroic struggle has won the
sympathy and support of organized
workers all over the country and Of
a large number of central trades and
labor bodies and local unions affiliated
with the American Federation Of La
Dor.
We have been able to take care of
the needs of our sixteen thousands
strikers and their families during the
"a weeks of struggle, thru the gener-
Gus support of workers organizations
and sympathizers. Six picket line
lunch counters operate to provide food
for the thousands who daily picket the
many acres of textile mills in Passaic.
Four food stations function to capacity
in distributing to needy families their
daily food rations. Two children's
kitchens provide nutritious meals for
more than one thousand OF under
nourished textile strikers children.
Hundreds Of our children are being
sent to camps and to the homes of
sympathizers. The strikers receive
free fuel and free services of physi-
clans. A total of 445 strikers have
been dubbed and jailed and for these
competent legal defense has been
provided and their families cared for.
There is no form of relief Of which the
textile strikers are in need that has
not been provided. Now, after six
months of struggle. the need for relief
becomes a more serious problem for
more and mere strikers families are
applying for relief. It is at this stage
of our struggle that the organized la
Dor movement of America should
stand staunchly by us instead of lend
ing encouragement or ill-advised
criticism.
To prevent continuous support and
relief for the strikers and their famil-
les would amount to starving these
workers back into the mills at the
bosses terms The statement issued
by Mr.. Henry Il. Hilfers, secretary of
the New Jersey State Federation OF
Labor, which spread unfounded and
destructive rumors that the Passaic
workers have been defeated by scab-
herding textile bosses calls for an i'm
mediate reputation by you since such
unfounded statements operate to cut
of relief so necessary to the winning
OF the strike. We do not see II At or
necessary TO enter into any lengthy
discussion relative TO the false charge
contained in your statement that the
