mo SCABBING'
WON BY Girl
MILL PICKETS
Company Fails to Get
Weavers Back
BY a Striker.
Worker correspondent)

NEW LONDON, Conn, May 25-
Due to the vigilance of the striking
weavers of the Edward Bloom Co. of
New London, the attempt to open the
mill with scabs failed miserably
Some Of the foremen had gone from
house to house telling the workers
that the strike was over and that they
should return to work. When this
news reached the strike committee
they at once notified all the strikers
to be on the picket line the next
morning. Those that had gone to
work some other place were in.
structed to stop work till the strike
was over.
The company stated in the press
that nine weavers returned to work,
but the pickets could only count three
scabs. They had been working out
Of town and had been brot back in
an effort to break the strike.
How successful this attempt will be
can be seen from the shouting and
singing of the girl pickets. The
young workers had somewhat lost in
terest in the strike, but since the re
port came about the "scabs," they
make it their business to stay on the
picket line all day. In fact the police
have ordered them to stop singing and
cheering.
The strikers all feel that the strike
is now in a crisis, this week will prob
ably mean the end of the strike ant
victory for the strikers. They are be
ing. supported by all labor unions OF
New London and after holding out si1
weeks they feel they can hold out
the rest of the summer.

New York Joins the
Fight to Save 90
Lithuanian Workers
Especial to Tho Daily work.r)

NEW YORK CITY,-"In the past,
due to mighty protests we saved the
lives of Lanzutsky in Poland and
Rakosi in Hungary We must do like
wise in the case of the 90 workers
who are now before the court-martial
of Lithuania''
With that as his keynote Sylvan A.
Pollack, who was chairman, opened
the International Labor Defense mass
demonstration in Union Square to
rally the workers of New York to
the defense lof those workers in Lith.
uania whosdg life is in jeopardy due
to the white terror government in
that country.
Stop Pieketing of Consulate.
Last SaturA,y the International La.
Dor Defense had arranged a mass pick
citing demonstration in front of the
Lithuanian consulate, 3S Park Row,
where over one hundred policemen
and detectives scattered the assemb-
led workers from the neighboorhood
Of the consulate.
The Union Square meeting was ar
ranged to voice the protests of the
New York workers under all circum-
stances. and altho over a score of
police and an equal amount of detec-
tives were present, the meeting was
held to a successful conclusion.
Anthony Bimba, editor of the
Lithuanian daily newspaper, Laisve,
pointed out that when the Interna-
tional Labor Defense arranged dem
onstration in front of the Lithuanian
consulate, the police of New York are
on the job to protect the agents of
Lithuanian capitalism against the
masses of New York.
He also showed how Lithuania,
which was a part Of the former Rus
sian empire, was formed in 1918 and
1919 by American money and German
machine guns. How the Soviets which
sprang up in that country were ruth
lessly crushed and thousands of work
ers were shot down and thousands OF
others sent to Jail for long terms.
"The ninetystwo workers who have
been arrested for being candidates on
the Workers and Peasants ticket,
continued Bimba, will not be tried
by a civil court, but will be brought
before a court martial"
cosgrove Visited Lithuania.
Pascal P Cosgrove, organizer Of the
Shoe Workers Protective Union told
Of his visit TO- Lithuania in 1928. He
described the miserable conditions
that he found in that country. How
