This abnormality must be eradicated-
it must be changed. Hence there

songs and to teach them

We will not forget that the revolution
AIRY songs are not the solution and can
not in any sense decrease our activity

In its proper place revolutionary

bolshevism to scare the workers.
Somehow the workers, thogh, not only
are not being scared away, but are
becoming interested in what that thing
is the bosses fear so much. The daily
press carries extracts from the article
on bolshevism and educates the work
ers along these lines.
Women and Children Help.
The young Pioneers and the United
Council OF Working Glass Housewives
are carrying on a campaign BUY a
meal for strikers child" The money
collected is used to maintain kitchen
for the strikers children. Hundreds Of
children are fed there daily. This is Z
slogan of working-class solidarity.
This is. the answer Of the workers 70
the "relief" of the American Legion.
The Young Pioneers also arranged a
hike, which was attended by a couple
Of hundred strikers children They
had wonderful time. This is a sure
encouragement for the parents to con-
tinue fighting.
In spite of all Of these methods the
workers ranks cannot be broken. The
young workers play very important
role in this strike. Not only do they
form very large percentage OF the
strikers, about 40 per cent, but they
are represented on all of the impor-
tant committees. They are on the
front ranks Of the picket lines, the
most active in relief work, and they
are the leaders on the strike commit
tee. The young workers also are a
connecting link amongst the workers
of different nationalities.
There is no doubt that the bosses
will have to give in soon. They are
losing millions in profits. They also
realize that the longer the workers
stay out at present the more deter
mined do they become; the more az
perience do they gain and 30 much
more chance for strong and success
full union after the strike is over.

THE first issue Of the American

worker correspondents whose adj
dresses we have on file. 1t is q nifty
little SPACE magazine, mimeographed.
The masthead OF the magazine was

There are articles OF interest to the

German-P dish Treaty
Negotiations Halted

BERLIN, April A. The success of
the German-Polish conversations re-
garding the liquidation of German
property in Poland may be endangered
IL Warsaw confirms the press state
ment attributed 70 Mr.. Winiarski, lead.
er of the Polish delegation, that in his
opinion the negotiations may be re-
garded as suspended. Germany and
Poland agreed to treat the entire prob
lem in the spirit of Locarno, at the
conference started on March rs, but
two days before, Poland had liquidated
another $50 pieces of German pro-
perty, mainly town property and shops.
At the conference, Germany asked
Poland to discontinue liquidation as
long as negotiations were under way,
demanding a reply by April Is. Mr.,
Winiarski's declaration, therefore, sur.
prises the Wilhelmstrasse. Polish
liquidations OF German property since
the war include chiefly German farms,
located in former German territory.

LIVERY day during the eleven weeks
- Of struggle OF the 10000 textile
workers added more enthusiasm anC
fighting spirit to our ranks. The
young workers with their youthful
spirit and pep add greatly to the fight
ing spirit. The picket lines, instead OF
becoming smaller, are becoming
stronger, especially since the change
in weather, The solidarity of the work
ers turnout the country as expressed
by the thousands of dollars that is
sent in for relief is another factor knit
ting closer our ranks.
The bosses, on the other hand, are
become desperate. They are using all
methods possible to break the strike
Gangsters were used to break in al
night into the strike headquarters to
destroy the documents and the office
furniture, but were surprised by the
police to arrest the strikers who drive
the cars of the strike committee. The
police are becoming more vicious than
ever before.

The bosses are using such agencies
as the American Legion, which is
known as a strikebreaking organiza.

WEISBORD ARREST
WILL NOT BREAK
PASSAIC STRIKE
Workers Will Carry on
Work of Jailed Leader
81 4 Worker Commencement

PASSAIC, N. j., April 14.-Believing
that by having Weisbord, Passaic
strike leader, arrested the strike will
break up, the textile barons of Passaic
are rubbing their palms in anticipa-
ton of a grand march of the slaves
back into the mills. They are sadly
mistaken. There will be no such
thing. The strikers unanimously de-
clare that they shall not return to
work until they get all that they are
out for. AS for weakening the morale
of the 1900 strikers, the arrest of Weis-
bord has only strengthened their de-
termination to fight it to a finish
and they shall!
The meeting halls Of Passaic and
Garfield are packed daily. Weisbord
may be arrested, but the strike goes
on just the same. Weisbord is the
one big leader. Yes, so think the
bosses-and by putting him away for
time will put the backbone Of the
fight under their heels. One thing they
are not aware OF. and that is that
Weisbord never slept at his post; he
was developing leaders all the time
and now that he is away those pupils
Of his land quite a number of them,
too) are filing his place and carrying
on Just as before.
The big question is: When will the
strike come to an end? The strikers
replv: "Whan wa get mr. damandsi"
The skeptics and wiseacres brawl:
you can't hold out that long," Then
from 10000 throats: I'VE can! The
International Workers Aid is back of
us. Victory in the front and Brother
Weisbord is our loyal guide!" The air
then rings with the strains of Solidar-
ity forever!

TRuMsuLL RECEPTION IN N. y.

The release of Comrade Walter
Trumbull, before soldier in the army
of Imperialism, now soldier in the
ranks Of the revolutionary movement,
is of great importance to the young
workers Of the entire country.
The pioneer work of Comrades
Crouch and Trumbull in unmasking
our imperialism shows the great need
of pushing our anti-military activity
and the necessity Of awakening these
oppressed colonial peoples in South
America, Hawaii, Philippines, etc.
Under the cloak of civilization and
education, our good samaritans (im-
perialists) have ground under foot
these colonial peoples by the worst
kind of exploitation imaginable. The
recent exposures Of the activities Of
the United States navy, in Samore,
reveals conclusively the high-handed
methods used.
Ostensibly OF no economic impor-
lance, Samore. Hawaii makes excel
lent bases in the Pacific.
Large appropriations by congress
and the great energy being put into
the filling of the c. NJ. T. c. this sum-
mer should act as warning to the
young workers, who will be asked to
fight in the new way, to organize and
struggle against militarism.
The Young Workers (Communist)
League Of New York will make the
reception OF Trumbull, which will take
place Saturday, April "a, at Harlem
Casino, 10th street and Harlem Ca
sine, as starting point for anti-mili-
tarist campaigns, in which large
masses Of young workers VIII be
drawn into the work.

NAVY BLOCKS
Civil RULE FOR
VIRGIN ISLANDS
War Department Seeks
Custody of Possession

WASHINGTON, April liberation
of civil government for the Virgin
Islands, now ruled by the United
States navy thru a governor, has been
postponed until next winter. The sen.
ate committee on territories and insu.
lar possessions, in private session at.
tended by Chairman Willis and Sena-
tors Lenroot, Johnson, Bingham, Bay
ard and Nye, unanimously voted to
take no action on the pending bill
until the next regular session. Hence,
even If the house shall debate and
pass the Kiess-Willis civil government
bill, the senate will take no action
until some time in 1927.
Islands Seek seIf-eovernment.
Efforts to secure sef-government
for the Virgin Islanders have been
carried on ever since the acquisition
Of these islands from Denmark our
ing the war. Naval governors have
had endless disputes with local coun.
ellis and with the liberal editors, who
have challenged the autocratic atti
tude Of the governors. This situation
has grown worse instead of improving
The house committee on insular af
fairs held hearings recently and
drafted and adopted amendments to
the Bacon bill, which it then reported
as the Kiess bill. On this measure
the senate committee held one hear
ing. Now it declines to do more this
year.
The excuse offered by the senators
is that they need first-hand informa-
tion of conditions in the islands. They
will ask the senate to send a sub-com-
mittee Of not more than five to visit
the islands this summer at public ex
pense. Senators Bingham of Connect
icut and Bratton of New Mexico, who
speak Spanish, are suggested as mem
bers of the junket party Spanish is
not spoken in the Virgin Islands,
where English and Danish are the
official tongues. But Spanish is used
in Cuba and Porto Rico, where the
junket party may rest from its labors
There have been two previous con
gressional trips to the islands, at pub
lie cost.
Administration for Delays.
Delay Of any action whereby self
government would supplant military
rule in the islands is favored by the
naval and military set, and this devel-
opment indicates that it is favored
also by the administration. The pend
ing bill proposes to give to the bureau
Of insular affairs in the war depart
ment the same custody Of federal rela-
tons of the Virgin Islands as the bu-
reau now has for Porto Rico and the
