Defeat the Open-Shop Offensive.
May First must be day to usher
IN with renewed and greater vigor
mass resistance to the open-shop
drive of the capitalist class and its
government.
We must redouble our efforts to
organize the unorganized. We must
answer the bosses wage cuts with
powerful strikes that will paralyze
their wage-slashing attempts. We
must help the heroic striking miners
to smash the drive on their stand
ards and organization and to save
their union from the coal operators
and the corrupt Lewis machine.
Support the Unemployed.
While the bankers and manufac-
turers are piling up fabulous profits
for themselves, as least five million
workers are walking the streets job
less. Unemployment on a mass
scale is inseparable from capitalism
Unemployment running into the
millions is an inevitable result OF
the rule of the capitalist class.
The workers must take immedi,
ate steps at least to remedy some
what this grave unemployment
crisis. Let us fight for shorter
work-day; let us fight for social in
surance--for unemployment insur-
ance to be paid by the bosses and
their governments.
Unite to Crush Capitalist Reaction.
Political reaction is everywhere
in the saddle. State cosacks, ma

beating, evicting, and jailing coal
miners, textile workers, needle

men and working women who dare
to defend themselves against the
capitalist attacks. There is a violent
injunction epidemic sweeping the
land. The Negro, masses are being
bounded and denied the most ele-
mentary rights. The exploited far
ers are being driven off their farms
Our only answer can and must
be mass violation of injunctions. We
must unite our ranks, regardless oi
race or color, to back ali workers
politically to the Limit, TO rout this
reactionary offensive.

Indian Strike
Ties Up Mills
In Big Center

SHOLAPUR, India, April 3d.
Spind..es and looms have practically
ceased to move in the textile mills
of this city as group after group has
forsaken the factories to join the
thousands of workers now on strike
thruout the country.
The strike which spread here from
Bombay rapidly drew the textile
workers here into it, and today the
mills are virtually tied up. The
owners estimate that they are los
ing thousands weekly as a result Of
the total cessation of labor.
The textile strike is the latest
of series which the Indian work
ers have attempted against the in
human speed-up introduced by the
mill-owners. Driven like beasts in
the humid, lint-laden air of the
Indian mills of the west coast, it
was not an unusual sight to see
workers fall unconscious by the ma
chimes.

Do YOm Like
This MayDay
Daily Worker?

Readers will be surprised by the
appearance of this May Day num-
Der of The DAILY WORKER. So
we may as well let you know that
the increase in the size of the pages
is only slight foretaste of bigger
changes to be made in a very short
time-if the readers of the DAILY
WORKER will give their support.
In the new Workers Center at
1928 Union Square will be installed
a splendid modern printing press, in
contrast to the old and broken down
press on which The DAILY WORK
ers is now being published and which
we have nick-named "the second
hand carpet sweeper" We can
publish The DAILY WORKER on
the big, modern press in the new
building--if we can secure enough
financial help from our readers to
enable The DAILY WORKER to
move into the Workers Center on
Union Square where fine new COM
posing room and the big press are
being established by the printing
concern Controlled by workers)
which does the technical work for
the "Daily."
We shall have to go back to the
same old narrow pages after this
May Day issue. If we look as
dingy as ever during the next few
days, pardon us--and send us some
help so that The DAILY WORKER
can look like these May Day pages
every day.
The new improvements will not
be more expensive-if fact there
are great economies possible. But
several thousand dollars are needed
to make the change.

MILLS THREATS
TO OPEN FIzzLE
Strikers Solid Front
Makes Bosses Retreat

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, April 80.
Realizing what miserable fiasco
the gesture of reopening the textile
mills would be, since the solid front
presented by the $4,000 on strike
here made it apparent that not one
man would return to work, the cot
ton manufacturers association has
issued a statement that no attempt
would be made to reopen the gates
Of the So mills closed down by the
walkout against 10 per cent wage
cut.
The statement was made after re-
ports broadcast all last week stated
that an attempt would be made to
resume operations this morning.
Fighting Hogans.
While not official, these intima-
tions were circulated among the
ranks of the strikers with the pur-
pose of making them believe that
upon the reopening of the mills,
many would return to work. But
the response of the great masses of
strikers to the fighting slogans is
sued by the Textile Mill Committees
in answer to the vicious rumors cir
culated by the bosses agents were
unanimous enough to cause the mill
owners to abandon their plans.

MAY DAY GALL
SHOWS SADvANCE
OF REVOLUTION
Soviet Workers Lead
Way to Victory

Especial Cable to The Daily Worker)
MOSCOW, April 30.-The Execu-
tive Committee of the Communist
international has issued a May Day
manifesto which reads in part as
follows:
'The final deathblow to moribund
capitalism must be struck by the
world social revolution which, born
Of imperialist war, is marching on
ward to victory under the leader
ship Of the Communist Interna-
tional.
"Beset by enormous difficulties,
with victories alternating with de-
feats, the forces of social revolution
continue to storm the citadel of i'm
perialism and to shatter it's rotte1
foundations.
"In the first clash with interna
tional social revolution, however.
imperialism suffered a severe, de-
feat which was fraught with con
sequences of great historical sig
nificance.
"For more than ten years the
flag of the proletarian dictatorship
has waved over one-sixth of the
globe despite the efforts of the i'm
perialists to strangle the social
revolution by every possible means.
The victorious march of this flag
has been possible only because of
the loyalty displayed by the pro
letariat and the oppressed masses
of the world to the ideas of the in
ternational proletarian revolution.
Gains for Workers
''In the country of the proletarian
dictatorship the seven-hour day is
being steadily and successfully in
troduced without any reduction Of
wages, and work hitherto unprece-
dented in scope and initiative is be-
ing carried on towards the cultural
development of the masses of the
proletariat.
simultaneously the organization
of agriculture on a collectivist
basis is proceeding successfully,
thanks to the assistance rendered
by the -proletarian state to the mid
die peasants and particularly to the
rural poor.
"In capitalist countries the
bourgeois dictatorship rules openly
and is strenuously defending the
class interests of the capitalists.
Recently at Geneva before the
eyes of the whole world the govern
ment of the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics made a proposal
for immediate and complete dis
armament as means of avoiding
future wars. But, as was to be ex-
pected, this proposal was cynically
turned down by the imperialists
with the direct or indirect approval
IF the social reformists.
''In face of these facts it is now
clear to the proletariat and toilers
of all countries that the road Of the
International proletariat is not that
taken by imperialism but is the
-oad along which the first prole-
sarian dictatorship of the world is
marching victoriously.
Must Fight Imperialism
Imperialism is mobilizing not
only it's forces but all its energies

The crest gates are opened only
when the volume of the river flow
is greater than required by the
water-wheels.
The protective apron now extends
from the power house at the west
end Of the dam for distance Of
1885 feet and includes 43 spillway
sections. In extending the apron it
was necessary to construct an earth
bank Golfer dam from the eastern
or Cecil County shore to a point on
the dam 500 feet from the power
house, and to remove the water from
the area thus enclosed below the
dam. This afforded an excellent
opportunity to inspect the founda-
ton Of the dam, which was found to
be in perfect condition.
The purpose of the protective
apron which is 30 feet wide, is to
throw the water up and well be-
yond the toe of the dam.
