U. 5. Army and Navy
In Big Practice For
New War to End War"

BOSTON, April 22.-All is set
for the big "war game" to be
played off the southern New Eng
land coast during the week of May
18th.
The U. S. battle fleet will rep
resent the Invading forces" and
the U. S. army forces will take the
part of the defenders"
Army war college students will
provide personnel to represent the
commanders and staff Of the land
ing forces.
The official purpose of this bit
Of jingoism, euphemistically des-
cribed as "army-navy exercises" is
said to be to test out certain plans
of defense and to give practice to
high commanders and staff in the
detail of Command and logistics
connected with the handling of
large bodies of troops"

Plumbers
Helpers Decide to
Continue Struggle

At a packed meeting Of some fiji
teen hundred members Of the Ameri-
can Association of Plumbers Helpers
held at the Church of All Nations,
which was addressed by J. f. Walsh,
the organizer, and c. e. Miller, the
president Of the organization, it was
decided to continue the strike in
Brooklyn.
It was announced that The indie
pendent bosses are offering to the
helpers $500 per day, this is con-
siderable gain as the average wage
of the plumbers helpers was $4.O0
per day.
1.-The fact that the independent en-
ployers, in order to get helpers, are
willing to pay them $500 per days
shows that we have won first VIC
tory" said Miller. "But the only way
the employers can show that they are
willing to pay a decent wage is by
signing an agreement with us. A
signed agreement with the union is
the only thing that will guarantee inn
proved conditions"
viii Fight For Lockout.
In regard to the possible lockout,
Miller said, at is unfortunate that
the employers should resort to this
desperate method, nevertheless, they
will not find us unprepared."
James F. Walsh, the organizer,
said, eve have helped the Brooklyn
plumbers in their just fight for i'm
proved conditions. We are going to
help the other journeymen in their
attack of the employers. We will not
permit any helpers in any locked out
shop to do the work of the locked out
journeymen. We will strike in SYM
pathy with locked out plumbers. We
are making preparations to unionize
the helpers who are still outside of
our ranks. We are calling a special
mass meeting for Tuesday evening,
April 26, at the Church Of All Ma
tions."

hauled down.
The spark that was ignited in Ire
land by Connolly, Pearse and their
comrades will be famed into a burn
ing flame by the workers and peas
ants and Ireland. 1t is the purpose
Of The Irish Workers Republican Al
lance to help keep that spark alive
and to feed the flame.

WORKER, Pat Devine, from the
famous Clyde in Scotland, Marius
Charles Underwood, Actors Equity
Association and T. J. O'Flaherty.

its base. The rise Of the Nationalist
movement in China, the sterilization
of the power Of the Soviet Union
from Leningrad to Vladivostok and
the hostility of the United States
gave the Japanese ruling classes
plenty to think about during the past
few years. The Japanese workers
are murmuring under the oppression
Of the government. Yet they are de-
veloping in strength and power. In
PREVENTION in China just now might
be the signal for a revolution at
home.
WE hope there will be a good at
" tendance at the mass meeting to
commemorate the Irish rebellion Of
Easter Week 1916 which will be held
tomorrow evening in Bryant Hall,
725 9th Ave-, near 42nd. There are
thousands of radicals of Irish birth
or descent thruout the country who
could be made acquainted with the
Communist message thru meetings
Of this kind if they could only be
reached. The real leader of the Easter
Week uprising against British i'm
perialism was James Connolly, one Of
the ablest social revolutionists in
theory and practice that the modern
labor movement has produced.
THE bureaucracy Of the American
Federation Of Labor have sunk to
unfathomable depths of infamy in
their attempts to crush the left wing
in the trade unions. They are
meek and humble servants in the pay
of the employing classes. And as
vermin of all kinds are preyed on
by lesser venlin, so the socialists are
living on the labor takers as the la
Dor takers are living on the capital
lists as we'll as on the workers. Mat
thew Vol and his lieutenants are
acting now as auxiliaries of the New
York bomb squad in trying to rail-
road the leaders of the fur workers
and ladies' garment workers to Jail.
The thing is so astounding that words
are inadequate to paint its iniquity.
