LOWELL SILK
MILL WORKERS
ARE STILL OUT
Wage Fight Against
Vicious Speed-Up

LOWELL, Mass, August 1. The
Lowell silk mill workers are exhibit
ing wonderful spirit of solidarity in
their strike against increased num-
Der Of looms and a wage cut which has
practically shut down the mill. The
strike developed as a result of an at
tempt by the Newmarket Company,
which owns the mill, to increase the
number Of looms operated by the pom
gee workers from four to six and at
the same time to cut wages from to
cents 1000 picks of cloth to 1 and
81 mills. Twenty pongee weavers
walked out. They were followed by
$50 weavers Of other departments, all
the loomfixers and some winders and
twisters.
The strikers elected a strike and
picket committee. The following de-
mands were placed before the bosses:
Return of the pongee weavers to the
four-loom base and three for the satin
and casket lining, the wide looms to
be subject for future arbitration.
Twenty per cent increase in wages.
Time and half for overtime.
Sanitary conditions, a ventilation
system, and rest room for the girls
and women.
Full rate Of pay for time lost on the
job thru no fault of the workers.
Recognition of the mill council or
union.
No discrimination against any
striker.
Under a so-called headquarters plan,
the number of looms Of the silk weav.
ers were increased from four to six,
making an increase in production of so
per cent, while wages were cut 33 per
cent.
Conditions in the mill are extremely
unsanitary. The work rooms are hot
and stuffy. There is no ventilation of
any kind. The temperature in the
mill is constantly 80 degrees, while
the windows are kept shut. Girls and
women work in this unbearable heat.
Our clothes stick to our backs. We
are always wet thru and thru with
sweat. There is no rest room for lyhe
girls and women.
The company raises the cry of pow
erty. The mill has been running
steadily for years and the company
made 100000 last year.

A FREE PORTO

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico July 21-
(By MaiD-Indicative of the increas-
ing fervor for national independence
among the people of Porto Rico is
the attendance and enthusiasm at
public meetings of the Nationalist
Party, which is on terms of intimate
association with the All-America
Anti-Imperialist League porto Rican
Section). Equally significant is the
growth of the league section itself.
A subsection has now been organ

Sub-sections now exist in San Juan,
Ponce and Mayaguez.
Big Mass Meeting.
At big mass meeting in the pub
lie plaza of San Juan yesterday, un-
der the auspices of the Nationalist
Party of Porto Rico, the representa-

ist League appeared on the same plat
form with Federico Acosta VeIarde
and Albizu Campos, president and
vice-president respectively of the
Nationalist Party.
Speak For Our Own People.
Senores Acosta Velarde and Albizu
Campos made brilliant speeches. The
former glorifed the memory of the
great Porto Rican patriot, Jose de
Diego. Albizu Campos reiterated the
demand of the Nationalist Party for
constituent congress of the Porto
Rican people to legislate for the is
land in spite of the representatives
of United States imperial authority
established there.
The newly-organized San Juan sub
section of the All-America Anti-Imper-
ialist League has as its secretary,

among its members E. R. Chevere-
mont, the. foremost living poet of

Why Many Workers
Remember r. T. Lincoln

MANCHESTER, VT, Aug. Rob
ert Todd Lincoln, son of Abraham Lin
coin, who died at his home in Man
chester, VT, is chiefly remembered by
workers, particularly Pullman Com
pany workers, for his failure to give
them consideration when he was pres
ident of the company and later chair
man of its board Of directors. Lin
coin supported the company policy of
fighting trade unions.
He has been attacked by Negro
workers for allowing Pullman porters
and maids to be kept in virtual indus
trial bondage, altho his father, as
president Of the United States, was
supposed to have freed them from
slavery. Lincoln's anti-labor policy
was equally true in other corporations
in which he was a director.

Again in the Painters strike which
has now been in progress 20 weeks,
public opinion has repeatedly demand
ed that this strike be called of. And
the officials of the Painters local in
their statements in the capitalist
press have deemed it necessary to de-
fend the painters strike against pub
lie opinion.
1t behooves all workers to analyze
this so-called public opinion. On the
one hand, it is always voiced in the
capitalist press. In heavy type, they
announce the fact that public opinion
demands that the strike be called off,
no matter what the conditions are.
On the other hand, no one hears of
public opinion meetings being held to
protest against the strike or of or
CARNATIONS or the general public in
any way making resolutions or in any
way demanding that the strike be
called off. Therefore, the question re-
mains, VINO is this public? Who
voices its opinion? Who makes it's
demands? The answer is clear-The
A. P. A. is the so-called public opin-
ion, and thru its tool, the capitalist
press, it makes its demands. And the
reactionary leaders of the workers,
ever opportunistic, use the public
opinion as a cloak to cover their evils
when they call off the strike and sell
out the workers.
During the general strike in Britain
the government sent out a call to
the public to help them to break the
strike. Who answered the call? Only
the scum of the country. And yet
when the strike was over, the gov
ernment and bosses complimented
the public on their cooperation in
helping TO break the strike.
The same thing happened in 1922.
The government appealed to the pub
lie and armed half a million scabs to
shoot down the workers on Black Fri
day. But II. ]. Thomas robbed them
OF that pleasant duty by selling out
the workers on Black Friday. with
the excuse that he did so in the in
terests Of the general public.
So II is clear that the public is
not the workers, and as there are only
two classes, it must be the capitalists
and their tools.

Roumanian imperialists. The ruling

the independence of Hungary to the
foreign capitalists thru the recon
struction plan"
The Hungarian national problem
Rakosi declared can only be solved
for the workers thru the Leninst pol
icy of the Third international with
the aid of the common struggle Of
the international revolutionary pro-
letariat.
Russia Goes Forward.
when we look into the course of
events since the end of the war, we
see that the Soviet Union is the only
country where economic development
is going forward, contrary to the
capitalist countries which are shaken
by a chronic economic crisis-from
which there is no way out" Rakosi
declared in answer to attacks on the
Soviet Union: "The socialist develop
ment of production in Soviet Russia
is alone a guarantee that the stand
ard of living of the workers can con-
tinue to improve, contrary to the cap
italist countries where the standard
of living of the workers is sinking
lower from day to day"
The president called Comrade Ra-
kosi to order and instructed him to
speak in his own defense and not to
make a speech of arraignment.
Comrade Rakosi again declared that
he does not need to defend himself.
Thru his activities he wanted to con-
tribute to the creation of a Commu
mist Party in Hungary which should
be equal to the task facing it. The
counter-reyolution crushed under foot
the revolutionary vanguard of the
Hungarian proletariat. The social
democrats betrayed the Hungarian
proletariat. The proletariat is longing
for the revolutionary Communist
Party.

Workers in Midwest
Aid Passaic Strikers

The cause of the Passaic textile
strikers is appealing strongly to trade
unionists thruout the middle west, 1t
appears from a schedule of relief con-
ferences under trade union auspices to
be held in August.
The Chicago conference to be held
in Machinists' hall August IL has raj
lied the metal trades council and the
United Hebrew Trades and over 20
local unions. More than $4,000 trade
unionists and members of labor fra.
ternal organizations will be repre-
sented, it was learned from the Pas
sale relief headquarters at 32S West
Van Buren street.
In other cities in this region similar
activity is manifest. Detroit's confer
ence will be held August 8. There a
recent benefit dance under Detroit
Federation of Labor auspices netted a
good sum for Passaic relief and a
number Of building trade unions have
made direct donations.
In st. Louis the conference is sched-
uled for August 10, sponsored by Of
ficials Of the cap makers union. The
Waukegan date is August II. Keno
sha will have mass meeting the mid
die of August. Milwaukee's campaign
is already under way. Bread and milk
