NEW YORK, Feb. Fl. = The new
elected mayor, Jimmie Walker, does
not care for the smiles or the hand

Neither does he care for their tears
or hardships. The united mothers Of

in New York for the second time to
demand relief from the unbearable
conditions of the public schools from
the mayor. They went to demand that
he stop transferring children from one
school to another, forcing the chill
dren to pass dangerous crossings. Six
children have lost their lives on these
crossings.

PASSAIc, N. j., Feb. 81 = Six new
arrests have been made in the fight
that the textile workers are wagIng
against the wage cuts when the pick

partly working. Four were arrested
in the morning siege and two at noon.
The pickets form a line and keep
on walking in an orderly manner
past the gate of the mill. The police
told them to go two blocks away and

One Of them, Bella Varga, was given
a suspended sentence and told that
if he was arrested again he would
have to go to Jail for 80 days without
any further hearing The judge made
this clear as he Instructed him in
the matter. It meant that he could
be the most innocent man in the

SYDNEY, Australia, -(By MaiD-
A prolonged and bitter fight between
the organized seamen and the ship
ping companies is looming up. The
Identification of the government with
the cause Of the employers is COM
pIete.
The trouble began last month with
the notification to the Seamen's
Union by the Australian shipping COM
panies. which are closely united
against the workers that they would
not employ on their vessels any men,
Der of the union who had caused any
vessel belonging to any company to be
delayed, or of having exercised or
having attempted to exercise job con-
troll" The ultimatum marks the be-
ginning OF a desperate attempt to
break the working class organizations
engaged in the sea transport services
around the Australian coast. Wage
reductions, increased hours, etc. will
be the lot OF the workers IL this
scheme succeeds.
Employers Plan to Smash Unions.
At a secret meeting in Melbourne
II January, 1925. plans were laid for
this labor-smashing fight. The ship

The struck mills and the number of
workers out in each mill are. as fol-

Gera Worsted mills, 1900; Forstman-
Huffman mills, 1000; New Jersey
worsted mills, 500, and the Passaic
Worsted mills, 1900.
Others to Come Out.
The Fostman-H Huffman concern has
several mills. About half of the
workers in these plants are out. Eff
forts are being made to bring out the
1000 workers in plants that have not
yet been struck Many came out dur
ing the weekend. Indications are
that the workers in the mills of the
Dundee Textile company will also
Join the strike.
Martial Law Threat.
1t is very evident that the mill
owners feel that the outlook is rather
black for them. They are trying the
usual methods Of desperate employ
ers.
First: They are paving the way for
bringing in the state militia and the
declaration of martial law.
Second: Stool pigeons of the mill
owners are trying to stir up the usual
trouble. Scabs have been beaten up
and pepper thrown in the face Of at
least one alleged strike-breaker, all
of which has been carefully blamed
on the strikers. Yet no facts to prove
these charges have been offered.
Third; On the basis of alleged dis
orders the police made an attempt to
close at least one hall occupied by
the strikers.
When l came into Passaic on the
train from New York the local en-
ployers' press was carrying flaming
headlines to this effect: Strikers
