Workers Union:
ASK the workers in the cloak and dress industry give
full support to the present subscription drive of The
DAILY WORKER. All shop chairmen should organize in
each shop groups of workers whose business Il should
be to take subscriptions for The DAILY WORKER.
The American elements those who speak and read Eng

union IN larger numbers than before. We have
many Negro workers in our union and industry.
The DAILY WORKER is the only English language
daily organ of the workers in this country that really
fights for the interests Of the workers. Other so-caled
labor papers, like the New York Leader demonstrate
ed that they do not deserve the confidence of the organized
workers. Time after time In New York the New Leader
and othr sheets like have taken occasion stab militant
workers in the back--at time when they were in the
midst of struggle with the bosses.
It is in our interests that should to that the
campaign to make The DAILY WORKER bigger paper
is success Every member of the international Ladies

Strike Committee
Especial to The Daily wor<erl

NEW YORK, April 10 - The latest
attempt of the manufacturers to break
the furriers' strike which Is now in its
9th week, met with absolute defeat
this afternoon when the thousands Of
furriers walked out Of Carnegie Hall
and refused TO listen to any talk Of
a compromise settlement.
The manufacturers evidently de-
cided they must make a last great eff
fort to break the solid ranks Of the
strikers so they approached certain Of
ficials of the union, who do not re-
present the workers in this strike, and
suggested an immediate settlement on
.erms which are not in accordance
with the strikers demands. They did
not come to the strike committee with
any suggestion of compromise; they
knew they would not be listened to.
But to those who are not the strikers
chosen representatives, they proposed
meeting at Carnegie Hall. These of
ficials of the International, wanting to
hide their part in this affair, invited
the fur workers to come to meeting
to hear William Green, president OF
the A. F. of L., and then they intended
to present the terms of the compro-
mise settlement for discussion.
Workers began coming to the hall at
IL O'Clock in the morning and the lines
extended for blocks. The hall holds
but 1900 people and there are $4,000
striking furriers. Long before
O'Clock, the time of the meeting. the
hall was crowded. and. all the othel
| workers who had been invited to at
tend were turned away Many work
ers who had stood in line for hour:
were brutally knocked out of line by
those in charge of the meeting wher

tee was allowed to enter the hall
Aaron Gross, one Of the vice-presi
dents of the international, and Bel
Gold, general manager, of the New
York joint board, were both among
those excluded.

Big Halls
Especial to The oaiiy worleerl

NEW YORK, April 1S.-The labor
conference for the celebration Of May
Day, 1926, that was formed in New
York out of various labor organiza-
tions that united for this common pur-
pose, has been making determined eff
forts to get single meeting place
vast enough to hold the entire militant
and progressive labor movement of
New York City. They have tried to
secure Madison Square Garden, the
Yankee Stadium, the Polo Grounds
and the Lewiston Stadium, but could
hall in New York City is big enough
for such demonstration, therefore it
has been decided by the conference to
hold meetings in three halls in place
of one. All meetings will be held
simultaneously on Saturday afternoon,
May 1, at p. m. At the same time
the committee in charge is still trying
to get permit for parade and open
air demonstration at Union Square to
be held on the morning of May Day.
Three Halls.
The forces of the workers cooper
ating in the labor conference will be
divided as follows: There will be a
mass meeting in Mecca Temple for
the members of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union.
There will be meeting at Anal
gamated Labor Temple, Brooklyn, for
members of Local ga of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers and for
various other Brooklyn organizations
including the Lithuanian workers so
cieties. All other organizations will go

In addition to cooperating in the
united front meeting, the Freiheit and
District No. of the Workers Party
are arranging for a Freiheit and dis
trict bazaar on the weekend of May
Day, beginning April 80 and ending on

Factory Papers.
The factory newspaper committee OF
the Workers Party is prepared to aid
all factory newspapers in the prepare
ton of such May Day numbers in
which the meaning Of May Day is tied
up with the concrete issues in the
shop. Even nuclei which cannot get
out of regular factory paper should
attempt to get out a mimeographed
sheet on May Day, dealing with the
shop problems and tying them up
with May Day. For information, com
municate with Rebecca Grecht, chair
man of the factory newspaper commit

calls continued for nearly two hours
and finally the international officers
were. convinced that the workers did
not want to listen to their talk of a

The meeting was closed and the work
ers dispersed in an orderly manner. =

Workers Parade.

In a double line the workers pro-
ceeded from the hall at 57th street
and Seventh avenue down to the CEN
ter of the fur manufacturing district,
where they walked thru the streets
from 30th to oath, between Sixth and
Seventh avenues. From there the
thousands of workers marched to the
office of the joint board on East 22nd
street, where they passed in cheer
ing line shouting to the members of
the general strike committee. and
demonstrating their renewed enthu-
siasm for the strike.
Undoubtedly this meeting convinced
the officials OF the international that
there can be no settlement OF the
strike without the consent Of the work
ers themselves, and that any attempt
by any group of officials to impose
themselves on the strikers and make
any sort of settlement for the strikers
will meet with the same results.
And the manufacturers must have
learned from these eight weeks of
81 INV to NNAA 30 liOhi lhin dittiHOpi
meeting, that the only way to bring
peace in the fur industry and open
the shops for work is thru a satisfac-
tory settlement with the workers thru
the regular channels-that Is, confer
with the legally elected leaders OF the
general strike committee.
ANY other effort" says Ben Gold,
will fail to bring about this result,
and for the continuation of the strike
and all the suffering It will mean to
the workers the manufacturers must
be held responsible. The strike com
mittee has always been ready to con
fer with the manufacturers in order
to bring about peace in the Industry
and TO secure better conditions for the
strikers.

meeting of the cabinet to decide on
the use of the soldiery to compel the
strikers to return to work. Soldiers
have been assigned to crush the strike
of the railroad workers. The Machado
cabinet has also decided to use Amer
lean marines to break the general
strike on the railroads If the army
which he has at his disposal cannot

LONDON, August 3.-The foreign
Office Is nervous over the unexpected
turn of Jugoslav- Bulgarian relations.
In the last rtnight Macedonian
bands have shown renewed activity,
attacking Greek, Jugoslav and Ru-
manian villages in Macedonian Do
brudcha. These states have made re-
peated complaints to Sofia, but the
government of Bulgaria replied that
it was unable to control the bands
as long as the army was kept below
the required standards to cope with
organized bands.
On the other hand, Bulgaria point
ed out to the Jugoslavs that it did
not know whether the bands were
formed on Bulgarian or Greek terri
tory
When the Bulgarian cabinet ignored
the last note demanding dissolution OF
the Macedonian committee, with head
quarters in the Bulgarian mountains,
the Jugoslay minister of war ordered
commanders of the army on the bor-
der to cross into Bulgarian territory
whenever 1t was necessary to pursue
and punish bandits.
This, 1t is feared by responsible
officials in London, may lead to new
serious Balkan troubles. and the Brit.
ish Minister Kennard at Belgrade has
been instructed to use all influence to
moderate the beliicose attitude of the
Jugoslav government.

SOMERVILLE, n. J.. August 3d.
important evidence in the sensational
Hall Mills murder case was missing
today from the official files.
Transcripts of statements made by
witnesses in the initial inquiry four
years ago have been removed from
the safe of the warden of the Somer-

cap Senator Simpson expressed belief
he had sufficient evidence at hand to
idict a woman and at least two men
for the murder of Rev. DIR. Edward

Pistol Declared Missing.
"While we have enough evidence for
indictments, the Senator said, II am
Mortified to learn that much of the i'm
portant evidence is missing. Among it
is the pistol of Willie Stevens. This,
| am told, was returned. to him after
it had been kept for some time in the
safe of the warden of the Somerset
County JAIL
There are also many important
statements by witnesses, which were
also in the warden's safe. that are
missing. Strange to say, however. the
one document which was carefully
preserved was an affidavit by one of
the witnesses who attacked the States
case"

marks wiped off, were saved
The Senator said one of his first
steps would be to learn how this
evidence disappeared and who is re-

pers from his safe, referred all ques-
