Matthews and Company are actually
opposed to these measures. They
are talking and will talk of "peace-
full" struggle when there is need for
militant, class-conscious struggle.
They are hampering the organiza-
ton of real mass picketing which
would sell out every worker on
strike. They are preventing the OPP
pressed jacquard workers from COM
ing out on strike. Only by you work
ers taking matters into your own
hands and pushing aside those who
in any way stand in the way OF a
militant struggle can a successful
fight be waged.
National Union Offers Help.
The National Textile Workers
Union has proposed that a joint
campaign for the organization OF
the dye workers be carried on and
that the other silk centers be
reached. Your fight will be much
stronger if these workers are
brought into the struggle.
Fellow Workers! Take immediate
steps to put into effect the necessary
organizational measures for big
and powerful struggle!
All workers must be called out.
All the silk mills must be tied up in
one general strike. The bosses must
know that you intend to do every
thing to win the strike. Insist upon
union recognition! See that there
are no fake settlements. That real
militant picket committees are es-
tablished and real mass picketing
begun! That a relief machinery is
established quickly, that the women
and the youth are organized for the
struggle! That every part of the
strike machinery works with real
speed and energy in behalf of ex-
tending the strike and drawing the
great mass of silk workers into a
powerful union and into the
struggle.
Do not be misled by the promises
Of the bosses!
Only Militancy Can Win.
Demand a militant fight! De.
mand 100 per cent strike! De.
mand full power to the strike com.
mitteel Demand union recognition
and union control in the shops. De.
mand cooperation and affiliation
with the National Textile Workers
Union in order to reach outside and
organize the dye workers and bring
the maximum support and solidarity
to the strike.

MADISON SQUARE
RED RALLY WILL
MOCK KELLOGG

Waving their ridiculous little
flags of intense nationalism and
holding aloft a brightly-ribboned
copy of the Kellogg Peace Pact, the
imperialist powers will ride a huge
cannon down the length of Madison
Square Garden on the occasion of
the annual commemoration of the
Bolshevik revolution and pageant of
the class struggle on Nov. A.
While shouting phrases of "peace
on earth and good will to men,"
America, England, France, Italy
and the other imperialist powers
will steal from each others pockets,
punch and kick one another, and
finally engage in a free for all
brawl.
Huge Worker Figure.
The mouth of the cannon will be
elevated, and from it will emerge a
huge figure representing the inter
national workers who will send all
the combating, torn and bleeding
imperialists sprawling.
This and other floats, similarly
vivid, will make the celebration this
year the most picturesque and dra-
matte yet staged.
Lynching Bee Staged.
A lynching bee will be staged by
the workers at the pageant. To
high gallows, figures of labor-be-
trayers will be strung. Among those
who will be hanged by the neck
until dead" in the effigy will be
such notorious labor takers as
Lewis, Mcmahon, Sigman, Becker
man and others.
Other floats will include a dra-
matte presentation of every phase
of the class struggle, political as
well as industrial. The huge cam
paign rally will contain the plat
form of the Workers (Communist)
Party in the 1928 elections in ami
mated form.

APPEAL TO N. ],
SILK STRIKERS
Urge Them to Spread
Paterson Walk-out

Continued from Page One
they make no effort to recognize
the union nor allow union conditions
to be established in the shops.
Do not be fooled by the empty
promises of your exploiters!
Only by your own strength, your
organized might, only by fighting
and winning union recognition can
you win your demands in full.
Without powerful union you
cannot change your conditions.
But, fellow workers, without a
militant struggle, without spreading
the strike generally to include not
only the weavers but the oppressed
winders and quillers, the dye work
ers, all crafts-without mass pick
citing and a real class battle you
cannot build up your union and win
the struggle.
The Paterson workers are known
for their militancy. The Paterson
silk workers have shown in the past
that they know how to fight for
their interests. By your enthusiasm
you show that you understand the
issues that are at stake.
But we ask you to consider the
following facts and we ask you to
do this in the fraternal spirit of
an organization which participates
in the struggles of the workers and
is vitality interested that your fight
shall have a speedy victory.
Has everything been done to es-
tablish the solidarity of all the
workers, of all the crafts?, Are you
spreading the strike with view to
including all the silk workers of
Paterson Of big shops, as we'll
as small?
Are the jaquard workers, the
winders, the quillers and the dyers
being drawn into the struggle?
If you will consider the situation,
you will agree with us that your
leading officials are not doing these
things, and are not trying to bring
about militant victorious struggle.
Your leaders have been advising
you against militancy, and are not
organizing the strikers into real
fighting picket committees but are
suppressing the fighting spirit of
| the strikers.
They have not been insisting upon
union recognition as an absolute
condition upon which settlements
can be made. They have been allow
ing more promises of the employers
as sufficient basis upon which to
make strike settlements.
Condition Ripe For Victory.
Fellow Workers! The conditions
are absolutely ripe for a real vic.
tory. But this cannot be achieved
unless the strike committee is repre-
sentative of all crafts, unless the
unorganized shops are drawn in, un.
| less shop committees are established
that will stand on guard in the shops
and see that the agreements are
carried out.
To win the strike, the strike COM
mittee must have full power.
All funds must be placed at the
disposal of the strike committee, as
is done in all militant strikes.
The entire union machinery must
be in the hands of the strike COM
mittee so that it can mobilize all the
forces in order to win the battle.
But your officials, like Hoelscher,

class.
Many to Participate.
In this athletic exhibition MANY

and boxing bouts.
After the programs, which will
last an hour and half, the floor
will be cleared for dancing. One of
the best dance orchestras in New
York will provide the music.
Proceeds to Strikers.
Part of the proceeds of this at
fair will go to the militant textile
strikers of New Bedford. All work

not to arrange anything on this
date and to throw their full support
to the New Bedford textile strikers
and the Labor Sports Union, an or

big role in the struggle of the work.

ELECTIONS IN
PANAMA SURE
Gov. Party Has Only
Candidate in Field

BALBOA, C. H., Aug. 8 (UP).-
Early returns in the national cleo
tions here today indicated an over
whelming victory for the liberal
(government) Party ticket headed
by Florencio Harmodio Arosmena,
only candidate for the presidency.
The opposition (Porras Party)
withdrew their candidates from the
field last week and virtually the
only opposition which the liberals
have at the polls comes from the
smaller parties. The Porras Party's
reason for withdrawing was due
to charges of alleged irregularities
on the part of the liberals which
they declared would prevent fair
election.
Special measures were taken by
the authorities to cope with any dis
order should it arise. The cities
of Panama and Colon were par
ticularly quiet although cavalry
patrolled the streets throughout the
night.

MINERS ESCAPE
DEATH IN MINE

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, Aug.
"Details Of a serious dam burst
at Buchan's Mine, near Indian Lake,
that did tremendous damage and
threatened death to many workers,
reached here today.
The storage dam at the mine
burst last Monday. Sweeping down
the valley for five miles, the water
carried railway trestles, bridges,
miners shacks and timber with it.
One side of the power house was
swept away. The power house was
flooded, and the generators still are
under 20 feet Of water. A newly
completed concentrating mill was
destroyed
Men living in shacks and houses
escaped narrowly, losing all their
possessions. Laborers working in
the main tunnel escaped mirac-
ulously.
Many workers saved their lives
by rushing to the top of hill,
where they were isolated until res
cued by breeches buoys.
