(By Farmer Correspondent)
WILLlSToN, N. Dak., Feb. q - The
opening guns were fired by John c.
soItis Of Minneapolis and Sen. Taylor
of Montana for the farmer-Iabor party
at two large meetings here.
While the weather was bad, the
Court House was filled to its capacity.
The speech of John G. Soltis will be
remembered by all as one of the
ablest ever delivered in Williams
county. Both speakers showed the
futility of the leaguers staying in the re-
publican party and urged all to come
over to the farmer-labor party and
go down the line in a unit for class
party. Outside of few office seekers
the audience was unanimous for the
farmer-labor party. Organization Is
under way. A committee has been
and legislative candidates for
this district have been chosen.

GERA WORKERS
JOIN PASSAIC
TEXTILE STRIKE.
1900 Down Tools; Re-
sist Wage Cuts
BY J. o. 6ENTALL.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

PAssAlc, N. j., Feb. 4-Thirteen
hundred workers in the cera mill
walked out in response to the picket
line that marched in front Of the shop
half Of them going out in the morn
ing and the second shift at two in the
afternoon.
The picket line that called out the
Gera mill started early in the morn
ing and got the first crew out at
once. The afternoon attemp resulted
in the complete tieup of this mill. The
new recruits marched to the Glida
hall and filed it to overfiowing.
The announcement that the Gera
mill was out made at the two mass
meetings, one in Glida Hall and the
other in Belmont Hall where Organ
izer Weisbord and ]. o. Bentall were
speaking aroused great enthusiasm
among the thousands of assembled
strikers.
Conditions Rotten.
I'VE could not stand it any longer,
said one of the new strikers. THE
conditions are simply rotten and the
cut took the last crumb out of our
mouths"
The enthusiasm reached the climax
when a large mass of young workers
marched to the front of the hall and
began to sing, 1--WE amt gonna work
no more till we get our wage cuts
back"
"They did not all come at once"
said Organizer Weisbord, "but one
after the other has Joined and now
We have all Passaic out. That is the
way to do it. Always little increase,
always little Stronger. Now we have
the hardest battle fought If we could
hold out, we will win all our demands
and come out with full victory"
"You have just cause" declared
Bentall. "You have asked for so lit
tie. You have been imposed upon by
the bosses and should consider them
the wrong doors that they are:
Organized to Hold Demands.
you have demanded your wage
cut back. That is very fair. You
are demanding time and a half for
overtime. All workers in organized
shops have that. If you win these de-
mands you have still the greatest to
win-the recognition of the union. I'm
less you organize and get power the
bosses will lick you sooner or later.
Remember that the organization of
your industry is the biggest thing to
work for"
Lena, Cherneko and Nat Kaplan
spoke yesterday and urged the work
ers to organize first of all. ''The
women in the industry can never ex-
pect decent conditions till they to-
gether with the men are completely
organized" said Cherneko. Nat Kap-
Ian of the Young Workers (Commun-

AUTO WORKERS
FACE CONFLICT
With BOSSES
Bosses Propose Wage
Cut and Longer Hours
Especial to The Daily workerl

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 3 - The
automobile workers Of New York City
are facing serious trouble on the ques-
ton Of new wage scale and working
agreement. The old agreement eK-
pred on December 81, 1925 and the
latest move by the employers thru
their organization is an attempt to
reduce wages and increase the num-
Der Of working hours.
Men Stand Firm.
At the last union meeting the
whole matter was thoroly thrashed
out and the following letter was sent
to the employers organization
ITO the New York Automobile Coach
Manufacturers Association.
Gentlemen: The New York Local
No. 40 of the United Automobile Air
craft and Vehicle Workers of Amer
lea at several of its membership meet
ings dealt with the question of sub
hitting new wage scale agreement
to the employers after the old one
two years in power has expired.
"The union membership resents the
many violations committed by the en-
ployers in the old agreement by for
cling upon the workers conditions in
contradiction to the signed agreement
with the union.
Furthermore, the union member
oh raoIs1rc flot ,,,o,,., oIo,,ro- -,
old agreement are contrary to their
best interests as union men, and
finally. the present wage scale does
not correspond with the steadily in
creasing present day living condi-
tions.
Therefore, committee was elect
ed at the last meeting of Local 40 of
the United Automobile Aircraft and
Vehicle Workers of America to work
out and submit to the employers a
new agreement for the coming year
of 1926"
Special Meeting Called.
Since then several conferences were
held between the union represent
atives and representatives from the
employers. The outcome of these con
ferences, a fiat refusal by the employ
ers to grant any of the demands made
by the men, is not surprising to the
membership.
A special meeting will be held on
Thursday. Feb. 4th at the Labor
Temple 243 E. Saith street, at which
the conference committee will make
report and it is expected that the
membership will turn out 100 per cent
to take action on this important mat
ter.

Jack Holt has been called upon

during the filming of "The An

insisted on a real fight. And it

TODAY
Says OUerwork Is
The Curse OF Life

Benjamin Christianson. noted
Danish director, who made ''The
Devils Circus" the Metro-Gold-
Mayer picture which shows
at the Strand Theatre today
for the last time, says his brief So
journ in the United States has con-
WINGED him that overwork is the
curse of American life.
The conclusion is not q personal
reflex, according to Christianson,
who has also many kind and flat
tering things to say of America.
particularly of its girls and wo-
men, because he says it would be
quite impossible to overwork him.
This may be accepted as a fact
because the Scandinavian is the
prototype of the blond Vikings
who once roamed the world in
search of hardy adventure. More
than six feet tall and of SYM
metrical proportions, he is a man
of powerful physique and tremend-
Gus vitality.
"0verwork is really the curse
of the whole world" Christianson
reflects. But it really reaches
its zenith in America.
Lives of the people who are
leading the pace required by the
present day economic pressure are
being shortened by at least ten
years. They are middle-aged
when they should still be young.
People should have more time
for recreation and relaxation. The
spirit of play should be diffused.
There should be more holidays. /
think a midweek holiday every
week would be a good idea. In
this mcslianical age where, with
machines, every man is doing the
work of four or Give or even
dozens, such an arrangement would
not seriously disorganize industry.
After all, we don't know where
we are going so why hurry?.
Christianson's own life exempli-
flies his philosophy. Recognized
throughout the world as a maker
of successful motion pictures.
which he writes, directs and acts
in, he could be busy every day of
the year making pictures. But al
though he has been in the industry
fifteen years he has no record Of
quantity production at which to
point.
