Needle Trade Defense
Enthusiastic Banquet for Oscar
MailOff.

The recently released young fur
rier, who was behind prison bars for
I 6 months was greeted at a welcome
banquet arranged in his honor last
Saturday, Sept. 10th. His friends and
comrades packed the place where the
banquet was held and the doors had
to be closed to late corners. All the
leaders of the Furriers' Union were
present All those present demon
strated their JOY at the release of
their comrade, and their willingness to
carry on the fight and go thru the
same experience as Mailoff and even
worse if necessary.
Speeches were made by Ben Gold,
manager Of the Joint Board Furriers'
Union; Ludwig Landy, manager, Joint
Defense Committee, Michael Gold,
(proletarian poeO, P. Aovak, editor
Of Einigkeit; NJ J. Olgin, Oscar Mail
off, and his father and others. The
most striking speech was made by
Oscars father. With glittering eyes
he stated that he is glad to see his
son participating in the labor move
ment and going to jail for it. He
also related of his family's exper-
fence in their old home-Russia, in
the revolutionary movement. Arriv-
ing in America they cherished the
hope that their children will follow
in their t-steps-therefore when
they learned of Oscars arrest for ac-
tivities in the furriers' strike they
were proud of their son. "The prison
bars have not killed my belief in the
just cause of our fight, and now when
I am out of prison I will devote my
time and energy still more to the
cause Of the movement" were con-
tents of Oscars speech. Ludwig
Landy pointed out that every class
conscious worker must be ready to
sacrifice his freedom at any time. Dur
ing the time of the car in Russia
it was not uncommon to be thrown
into jail for revolutionary activities.
Workers of America must organize
a strong Workers Self Defense which
will be the guard to defend the mar
tyrs of the labor movement and sup
port the families of those thrown into
Jail"

Twelve Jersey Workers
Seriously Injured as
Truck Falls Over Cliff

ENGLEWOOD, N. j., Sept. 16. -
Twelve men were hurt, four perhaps
mortally, when a truck in which they
were enroute to work in the Alpine
section of the Palisades Interstate
Park plunged over a cliff on Hendrick
Hudson Drive, dropped 60 feet, and
turned over three times.
The truck, owned by the park, was
being driven by NJ. Mclaughlin of
Skowheegan, Me-, when the kingpin
came out of the steering apparatus
and caused him to lose control of the
vehicle. All of the men were park
employees.

the delivery demanded by the truck
men bosses. They later surrendered.
Produce Piled Up.
At the Washington Market on the
lowest West Side of the city the side
walks were covered with piled crates.
The New York Central freight yard
at 33rd street and 18th avenue pre-
sented a similar scene. By the end
of the day over rs loaded cars were
standing, with no prospect of their
freight being removed.
At all the markets of the city large
numbers of police were in evidence,
but found no opportunity to provoke
violence inasmuch as no organized
program of strikebreaking had been
decided upon by the bosses.
500 Quit in Jersey.
Yesterday morning over 500 fruit
handlers in New Jersey quit work at
the Johnson Avenue and Second st.
produce market in sympathy with the
New York strike.
In the meantime no regular deliv-
cries were being made to retail mar
kets in the city. An exception was
made in the case of hospitals and
sanitariums, deliveries of fruits and
fresh vegetables being brot to them
in large hotel trucks by hospital en-
ployes. Each of the trucks was ac-
companied by a striker.
Truckmen on strike yesterday ex-
planned that one of the reasons why
the bosses did not attempt to hire pro-
fessional strikebreakers is found in
the fact that a certain skill in pack
ing is essential if the goods are not
damaged in transit.
Strike 1000 Effective.
Five important markets were af-
fected by the strike. These include
the Washington, on West street, be-
tween Barclay and Beach Sts.; the
Harlem, 102nd St., between First and
Second AYES; the Gansevoort, on 18th
ST., between 10th and 18th AYES; the
Wallabout, in Brooklyn, and the New
ark market.

TIE federal government is backing
the right wing labor leaders in the
campaign against the radicals in the
trade unions, according to an article
by w G. Gavin, Washington corre-
spondent of the Boston Herald in the
September ID, issue of that paper,
The department of labor is the gov
eminent agency that bosses the uni
ted campaign of the labor takers,
socialists and government stool
pigeons. Then there is the auxiliary
of the department of labor, called the
Cancellation service. While this SER
vice, officially, takes no sides in the
struggle between right and left it is
conducting a persistent underground
drive against the radicals.
GAVIN declares that the Cancellation
- bureau has played an important
part in fighting Communism in the
trade unions. He says: "The depart
ment has had its part, an important
one, in turning back the Communists
in the garment and textile industry
in Massachusetts and is now engaged
in reducing their influence among the
boot and shoe workers" No doubt
this testimony will endear the reac-
tionary labor leaders to the exploited
garment and shoe workers!
THE department Of labor also seeks
to reduce the friction in the re-
lations between the employers and
the labor takers. Where one or both
sides lose their self-control and en-
gage in battle, the department steps
in and points out to the belligerents
that they are playing into the hands
of the willy Communists who are
waiting for just such an opportunity
to strike at the Gold Dust industrial
twins. "The conservative employer
may regard socialist with deep dis
trust; but the department will back
socialist against a red any day. :"
This is rather interesting and instruc-
tive. 1t proves that James J. Davis,
head of the department of labor
knows his socialists and serves a use
full purpose to the capitalist system
in advising dumbell employers that
the socialists are their friends from
whom they have nothing to fear and
that their real foe is the Communist
movement.

Revolutionary Armies Advance.

CANTON, Sept. 15.-Over 10000
well-armed and equipped troops I'M
der Ye-Hting have occupied the Mel
kiang district today. Other revolu-
tionary troops have occupied other
important parts of Kwantung. Re-
ports received here from Shanghai
state that Ho-Lung's army of sew
eral thousand well armed troops have
penetrated the Pingshang-Luyang
districts and are well on the way to-
ward the occupation of all western
Human.
Rapidly Gain Strength.
Holung's troops are everywhere
meeting with favorable receptions
from the masses. Workers and pea
SAINTS in the territory thru which they
pass are joining by the thousands and
the population gives willingly every
aid to the armed forces. The work
ers and peasants military detach-
ments give fullest support to Ho-
lungs forces and rapid amalgamation
of forces is proceeding.
The Holung army a few days ago
joined the peasant attachments of
the Ping-Hsiang district under COM
mand of the prominent Communist,
Yu Peng-Ming and started an adj
vance against Luyang.
Faced with a new and formidable
revolt moving toward combat with his
forces the so-called christian gem
erap Feng Yu-Hsiang is on a mad
rampage, numbering men, women and
children by the thousands and leav-
ing smouldering ruins in his trail.
This desperate action only arouses to
a higher degree the fury of the
masses who await the coming of the
revolutionary armies Of liberation.

for us as she should.
Byron was perfectly right as to
the appearance we were making,
but little did he realize that he, and
not the wife, was the sole cause of
our poor, jaded, forsaken and for
lorn appearance.
Now, it was this way: Mr.. Ray
found us with full stomach of nu-
tritious food. In fact we had been
faring sumptuously, until we were
as full as a goose; but when he
made his business known, which was
leasing farms for OIL and we found
that we had been too hasty in this
matter, and had leased to another
company that was only paying half
as much as Byron was offering, it
made us feel so little and cheap, that
right there in his presence, our cor
pus, in sympathy with our mind be-
gan to shrink and shrivel, until we
had to stand twice to make a shad-
ow.
Now who could blame us? This
also carries moral that we our
selves should profit by; Never get
in hurry to shoot at game when it

Our good friend from boyhood
days, DIR. Hugh Garrett OF GAINESVILLE
was here few days, on a social and
professional visit.
We have never taken any med
cine like "projoIa'' or "cajola" or
"banjola", but If we thought there
was any chance to get our picture

most any kind of ''jola", even "Old
Black Jola.'
In the passing of our good old
friend and correspondent to the
Cumberland Echo, Chas. Tucker of
Lytlesburg, that community has
sustained decided loss. When men
of strong personality, so well and
popularly known, like Mr.. Tucker
are suddenly taken away, the loss is
keenly felt. His cheerful presence
and prolific budget of news will be
missed

From its view point the difference
between those who are in the peni-

that those who are on the outside
