PATERSON SILK
WORKERS Will.
STRIKE TODAY
Mass Meeting on Eve
Of Walk-Out Is
Enthusiastic
See Industry Tied Up
Look for Unanimous
Response to Call

PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 9.-At
ten o'clock Wednesday morning ap-
proximately ten thousand workers
in this city's silk manufacturing
mills will walk out in general strike
with the demands that the s-hour
day, a. hour week and wage raise
be conceded and that their organ
ization, the Associated Silk Workers
Union, be accorded full recognition.
AS the great majority OF the silk
workers expected, the manufactur-
ers' association failed to reply to
their demands for recognition and
improvements of working standards.
They therefore have busily engaged
themselves in perfecting the<strike
machinery and rallying the nom
union members around the organiza-
tion, so that when the strike call is
issued the response will be unani-
NOUS.
Rank and File Militant.
Full reports of the mass meeting
Of the union, held till late last night,
shows clearly that the strike will,
in its very beginning, succeed in
tieing up the entire manufacturing
end of the industry. The meeting,
which was crowded beyond capacity,
was held in Turn Hall, the prospcc-
tive strike headquarters, at Allison,
corner of Cross st.
Many of the most active union
lists were heard to criticize the at
titude expressed by Fred Hoelscher
when acting as chairman Of the
union. Hoelscher s chief organizer
of the Associated. In conducting
the meeting, he stated confidently
at various times that large num-
Der of employers will be ready to
settle with the union by next Mon
day morning.
This method of approach to what
shows signs of being a real strug-
gle is deplored by the workers, who
say that instead of creating illu-
sions the union leaders should be
very strong in emphasizing the
necessity of organizing for an ag-
gressive struggle through mass
picket lines, etc.
In calling the meeting last night,
Herman Clemens, member of the
socialist labor party, was invited to
be a speaker, as was also Lena
Chernenko, leader Of textile work
ers and member of the Workers
(Communist) Party. When Glenn
ems rose to speak he started by say
ing that political questions and diff

Engoes VIII
Raid" Times
Square Today
By PAUL CROUCH.

Times Square is to be bombed
from the air today, but it will have
little resemblance to actual warfare.
From 9 to 10 p. m. tonight thou
sands of people are to be shown that
the country is helpless-that addi-
tional appropriations of millions of
dollars for armaments are neces-
sary.
Starting at 9 o'clock tonight a
huge attempt will be made by the
imperialists to -hoodwink the work
ers into preparing for the attack on
the Soviet Union. The war man.
euvers tonight are aimed to build up
the army and turn the workers
against the first workers and farm
ers' government.
A feature of today's military dem
onstration will be a parade of Ma
tional Guardsmen. The Guardsmen
will march to music, presenting a
very different appearance from the
actual war for which they are being
prepared.
Today's military demonstrations
are only a part of the greatest mill
tary shows in the history of Amer
lea. Similar affairs are being held
all over the country. At the prov
ing grounds in Maryland, the new
est and most deadly instruments of
warfare are being exhibited. On
October Is, more than 5000 soldiers
will be forced to take part in a
military tournamen tin Madison
Square Garden.
The arrest of I. Peltz, a member
of the Young Workers (Communist)
League, is significant. Peltz was
arrested for distributing League
leaflets to servicemen at the mill
tary exposition at the War College
in Washington, D. C. No law exists
against anti-militarist propaganda,
so Peltz was held on charge of "dis-
orderly conduct" The authorities
state that Peltz may be deported.

Workers Called to Vote

The devotion of the needle trades
workers to the traditions of revolu-

present campaign was last night
manifested in the fiery spirit which
delegates of hundreds of shops of the

When William w. Weinstone, or
ganizer of District 2, speaking in the
name of the Workers (Communist)
Party, at the close of the conference,
compared the messages the fiery
rebel Debs used to bring to the work
ers in the campaigns before the war
and the silly pacifist-capitalist mes
sage the "fool of a minister" is
bringing to the protestant churches,
and pointed out the role of the So
cialists in America and in Europe,
it was felt that not only had the
spirit of revolution not died down
among the needle workers, but has
cropped up with greater force than
in the days of Debs.
Many Delegates Turned Away
The representatives of the needle
shops turned out in far greater
numbers than even the committee
that has organized the conference,
expected, so that many delegates
could not get into the crowded hall,
which was packed with hundreds
of delegates.
Rose Wortis, of the Dressmakers,

Maurice E. Connolly, grating ex-

quite as financially productive, as
Mayor Jimmie Walker of New
York. While, as has been revealed,
Jimmie was earning S287 900 in one

no record that he loaned 100000 to

"WHAT'S ON AT
 THE SHOW ?"

Proprietor Frank Nagle of the Pioneer Hall picture show will present to his patrons Sun day evening the magnificent Fox production of the great war drama What Price Glory" featuring the celebrat- ed Spanish actress Dolores Del Rio and a superb cast.
 The play is an adoption of the famous stage play of the same title by Laurence Stall ings and Maxwell Anderson and is conceded to be one of worlds greatest motion picture plays.
 The story is staged in stu pendous manner and twelve reels of film are required to present the heart-stirring tale, of love and sacrifice amid the grim tragedy of war. Those who enjoy a really worthwhile picture play should not over- look this opportunity to see a film drama infinitely superior  to any heretofore shown in IIy- der.
 In order that everyone may have a chance to see it, the picture will be shown for a second time Tuesday evening.

Marine headquarters are still
without confirmation that General

The chamber of deputies has
passed the law with amendments
that seriously restrict the right of
Americans to supervise the elections,
and the senate is opposed to accept

It is the hope of senate leaders
that General Mccoy may be able to
satisfy the chamber as to the real
purport of his law and that the

.S-4 INQUIRY IS
SHELvED

All hope of an immediate Congress
sional investigation into the sinking
of the submarine S.4 went glimmer.
ing today when it appeared that
action on the resolution calling for
an inquiry would be held up for sew
eral weeks in the senate.
Opposition to the parliamentary
tactics used by the Republicans in
handling the resolution developed IN
the course of the first days debate.
AS a result senator Swanson CD or
Virginia, ranking Democrat on the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee, an
nounced that he would not consent
to further consideration of the ques-
ton until it came up in its regular
turn on the Senate calendar.
Full responsibility for the disaster,
which cost the lives of 40 men. was
laid at the doorstep of Secretary OF
the Navy Wilbur in formal state
ment issued by Senator Edwards
Cd of New Jersey.
"The sinking of the 81" the state
ment said. was undoubtedly the re.
suit of the incompetence of a Score.
tary of the Navy to whom America
has lost confidence"
Efforts of the Republican ma
jority in Congress to put the investi-
CATION in the hands of civilian
commission were characterized by
Edwards as being 'for no other pur-
pose than to whitewash Secretary
Wilbur and a score or more OF
swivel-chair admirals."
