GENEVA, Sept. 10.-A bitter at
tack on the Soviet Union which has
constantly advocated complete dis
armament, marked the speech of
Foreign Minister BRAND of France
at this mornings session of the
League of Nations assembly.
Commenting sarcastically on the
joining of the pact to "outlaw" war
by the Soviet Union, he did not stop
to answer any of the trenchant cri-
ticisms that accompanied the Soviet
note of adherence.
He said: "While this country's
signature has been placed on the
anti-war pact, renouncing war of
aggression, do not know if it has
renounced another kind of war
which some regard as holy war.
Some think they and they, alone un-
derstand and trust and they desire
to impose their views on other
countries by force of arms. Such
a war may be inspired by sentiment
and may be more respectable than

day arbitrarily excluded from the
convention of the United Textile
Workers Union which opened in the
morning at the Great Northern Ho-

their actions, despite that both Kel-
Ter and Dawson are accredited dele

The entire morning session of the
convention was devoted to eulogies

here today as the 112 miners taken
in the police and Lewis gangster
raid on the mine convention were
arraigned before Magistrate Orie.
Disregarding the evidence in the
case and the almost unprecedented
violations of all so-called civil liber-
ties by the police, the judge began
Immediately to upbraid the delegates
for their militancy and branded them
as being "Reds," and a menace to

Miners pointed to the attitude of
the judge as a further confirmation

organization of real union.
Held for Grand Jury.
Three of the mine leaders were
held for the grand jury ON rioting
charges. A number were fined $25
each: About fifteen were fined S5
each. Many of the delegates ar
raigned this morning appeared with
their heads bandaged and bearing
other marks of the slugging by po-
lice and Lewis thugs. Despite the
obvious criminality of the gangsters
the few of them arrested were inn
mediately discharged by the Judge.
The miners were closely ques-
toned on their political and indus
trial beliefs by the magistrate.
"These Reds need investigation"
the judge declared openly. every
man who cannot prove his citizen
ship will be turned over to the gov
ernment authorities for investiga-

deported," he warned.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Sept
10.-Feeling against the attempt to
betray the strike by granting a
speed-up system to the mill owners
has risen to such a great pitch since
the two anti-sellout demonstrations
Of the Textile Mill Committees, that
the columns of the capitalist press
here are compelled to admit their
doubts as to whether Settlement
with the A. F. Of L. officials will
result in a return of the textile
workers to the looms.
First the picketing demonstration
of hundreds of strikers at the New
Bedford Hotel, where the bosses and
the Textile Council leaders were in
conference, and then the tremendous
parade demonstration of $4,000
strikers and sympathizers on Satur-
day, showed conclusively that the
capitalist press far understate their
doubts"
Not only has the great "no COM
promise" movement, begun by the
T. M. c., taken hold among the vast
majority of the $4,000 strikers here
but even the membership of the
Textile Council who have not as
yet severed their relations with the
A. F. of L. union, frankly declare
that they will fight Batty and his
gang in their locals.
Speedily Plans.
The first full membership meet
ting of the Cotton Manufacturers
Association held in many months
will take place tonight to consider
Batty's offer to settle the strike if
the bosses would exchange the wage
cut for the Frieder Plan, a speed

The great industrial state of
Ohio and two southern states, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, are now on
the Communist ballot, bringing the
total up to nineteen.
The comrades in Ohio collected
10000 signatures tho only 14,500
were required. The signatures were
all collected BY voluntary effort, the
comrades visiting the homes after
working hours and also collecting at
the shops during lunch hour.
Expect Big Vote.
Ten thousand of those signatures
were collected in Cleveland alone.
The steel cities of Youngstown and
Warren contributed good percen-
tage of the necessary names.
A heavy Communist vote is ex-
pected in the mining region of
Ohio where the bituminous strike
was recently called off by John L.
Lewis. Owing to the activities of
the Communists during the strike
the miners are very sympathetic to
the Party and many CT them joined
up.

In addition to Tennessee and Ken
lucky there are now on the ballot
in the south, Texas, Arkansas and
Maryland. The Communist ticket
was never before on the ballot in
those states.

Communist ticket will be on the bal
lot in thirty-five states instead of
the thirty originally set as a goal.

INSTRUCTION IN TEAMWORK

Fall. Crisp invigoratng weather. Jack Frost has
just painted our hilsides with his scarlet brush
There's football in the air these days.
And this reminds of little talk like to
give at this time of the year. Every time we the
members of the local high school football squad trot
Go to it boys. It's important part of your educa-
ton"
The work of Coach Morse and his band of young
huskies should be regarded, we feel, as course in
team work
The boy who goes through hard seasons work
with the team squad learns that the work of the
team IS important than the spectacular playing
of individual stars he learns the value of cooperation
he comes to suppress his desires for honor for
the good of the team as a whole. He learns that the
group is more important than any individual.
He also learns the value of loyaty-learns it in
sort of subconscous way, for it takes loyalty to the
school and loyalty to the town to go out and work
hard day after day and then stand ready to fight to
the last bit of energy for the honor of the school col
ors. And every older knows that this loyalty
learned in school may carry man long way along
the road of success later in life.
There other important lessons that Coach
Morse is indebly impressing upon the minds of his
wards He is teaching them to become good sportsmen
to take unfair advantage of opponent, to
play the game according to the rules-n short to
become good American citizens.
