The Textile Strike In Rhode Island

The strike of the $50 textile workers in the
Rhode Island should be the signal for a
general strike throughout both the Black
stone and Pawtucket valleys. For many
months there have been wage cuts following
upon wage cuts In the Parker mill where
wages are so low that the bosses feared an
other cut would evoke strike, vicious blow
was struck at the workers by the announce
ment of the immediate Inauguration of the
53-hour week in place of the 48-hour week,
without any change in wages.
In these mill valleys of Rhode Island the
officials of the United Textile Workers
Union affiliated with the A. F. of L. have
been busy in their familiar role of aiding the
mill barons put through wage cuts, the speed
up and lengthening of hours of labor.
At this moment, when the mills are be-
ginning work on spring goods, the workers IN
all the mills should seize the opportunity to
strike for the purpose of resisting the AFRO
giant drive of the bosses and establishing
their union The workers in every mill should
instantly go out in sympathy with the
Parker mills strikers. To fail to aid these
strikers and permit them to be defeated
would only be an invitation to every textile
mill owner to slash wages further and in
crease hours, which will only result in further
unemployment.
First and foremost in entering the strug
gle the textile workers should avoid any con-
tact with the treacherous United Textile
Workers Union, which is merely a company
union for the employers There is but one
union in the textile industry that fights in
the interest of the working class and that is
the National Textile Workers Union, born
out of the struggle of textile workers in Pas
sale, Paterson. New Bedford and other places.
Rhode Island textile workers! Make the
strike general!
Join the National Textile Workers Union!
Defeat the wage cuts and frightening of
hours
Establish the union in the two valleys and
fight for union wages and conditions!

he was defending were those of past era.
The policies enunciated by Jefferson were so
strange to the ears of Hibben's vicious and
ignorant prosecutors that they could not tell
the difference between them and Bolshevism.
The past few years of Captain Hbben's
life were spent in literary pursuits, which he
put aside during the Sacco and Vanzetti cam
paign to go to Boston and participate in the
demonstrations against Fuller and his asso-
ciated murderers.
Captain Hibben's death removes from
American political life one of the few up
holders of the old traditions of this country.
He aided in exposing the malignant character
of the agents of imperialism today without,
however, realizing that the course of history
is not back to the declaration of independence
but forward to higher form of society and
that it is the revolutionary working class
whose historic mission it is to deliver the
death blow to the tyrannies of today

Captain Paxton Hibben

Captain Paxton Hibben, who died Wednes-
day at the age of AZ was prominently known
to Communists and friends of Soviet Russia
because of his many years of effective work
for recognition of the government of work
ers and peasants.
Captain Hibben, despite the opinions of the
LIMOGES and imperialists to the contrary, was
not a Communist. In the early years of his
life he was successful as diplomat, author and
soldier His diplomatic career began as secre-
tary to the American embassies in Petrograd
(now Leningrad). Later he served in SINH
lar capacity in Mexico City. He also served in
diplomatic capacity in other Latin Ameri-
can countries besides serving at the Hague
tribunal During the war he was lieutenant
in the field artillery later being promoted to
a captaincy.
At the conclusion of the war he was en-
gagged in relief work in the Near East and in
the Soviet Union. 1t was during his activity
in the land of the former cars that he be-
came an advocate of recognition of and trade
relations with the Soviet government On his
return to the United States he engaged pub
licly in the campaign for famine relief.
Captain Hibben's work in behalf of recog-
45yy1On OF tne SOVleJ Union was not prompted
by motives that by any stretch of the
imagination could be considered as general
defense of the class struggle. His actions
were predcated upon reverence for old
American traditions the literal acceptance of
the declaration of independence, and the
state papers of Thomas jefferson regarding
the recognition by the young republic of
America of the revolutionary republic of
France, which held that a government estab-
lshed by the revolutionary action of the
people was entitled to recognition by the
United States. In his many speeches and
writings, Captain Hibben emphasized those
early traditions and heaped ridicule upon the
utterances of such special pleaders as
Charles Evans Hughes Frank B. Kellogg and
others who perverted the policies of the revo-
lutionary founders of the republic into apollo
gies for imperialist aggression. 1t was this
attitude of his, the fact that he still defended,
in this period of imperialist frightfulness the
ideals of the infancy of the republic, that
brought Captain Hibben into open conflict
with the military authorities and prevented
his promotion in the ranks of the reserve
forces of the United States army. He was
attacked by the 100 percenters in the i'm
perialist army of the United States as
Rolshevik. although his real principles which

Correction

In one of the editorials in yesterdays edition it
was stated that Hoover that day visited Chile when
as matter of fact he visited Peru and stopped at
Chile the next day. Throughout the editorial the
name Chile substituted for Peru. But the eco
nomic facts e. the reference to copper and nitraes
and to the struggle between American and English
capital were correct applied to Chile This
due to the fact that the editorial writer because
of other duties requiring that he be absent from the
office did not SCI The see the printers proof.

Hooverizing the Newspapers

Announcement was made yesterday of the
perfection of a process by which type can be
set in an unlimited number of printing Of
fees in response to the operation of a type
writer keyboard by one person. This in
vention, when in general operation, will make
it possible for an agency to write news in
New York and have it transmitted almost
simultaneously to typesetting machines in
Chicago or San Francisco, thus doing away
with news editing as we'll as operators of the
typesetting machines. Any number of type
setting machines can be operated from the
one typewriter keyboard. The finished pro-
duct can be in any size type or any width of
line desired.
This particular invention is the achieve
ment of Walter j. Morey of East Orange, N.
j., and was yesterday put to practical test
in Rochester, N. " by the Frank E. Gan
nett string of newspapers.
The mechanics of the new invention are
quite generally familiar to all engaged in the
production of newspapers. The typesetting
machines are operated on the same principle
of electrical control used to operate the tele-
type machines used in all newspaper offices
receiving service from news gathering agen-
cies-the machine that took the places of
the telegraph operators that used to be in
every daily newspaper office.
Such an invention half a century ago
would by no means have had the effect that
it has today. In fact it would hardly be
worth manufacturing for the simple reason
that newspapers then were organs of opin-
ion. No two great papers in any part of the
country were alike. Articles appearing in
Horace Greeleys New York Tribune would
be of no use to Henry Wattersons Louisville
Courier journal. Each newspaper spoke for
some particular social or economic group,
each one of them represented some shade of
political opinion.
But today, under Hooverism, such an in
vention is useful. At time when imperial
ism has produced the nationwide chains of
newspapers, all publishing identically the
same material all serving the same preda-
tory interests, when no class that stands be-
tween the imperialsts and the working class
has sufficient vitality to lead an independent
political existence, an invention such as the
"teletypesetter," fills definite demand 1t
is a sign of the times
It's immediate effect upon the labor move
ment can be seen when we consider the fact
that it will dispace thousands of skilled
linotype operators. One machinist can take
care of five machines operated mechanically.
That means that one man can do the work
formerly done by six in the composing rooms.
When the printing trades unions, even today,
are faced with serious unemployment prob
lens, and under leadership that is more
IL H.
fishers than the workers, it can readily be
seen that revolutionary changes must take
place or the organization of labor will be
destroyed. More than ever will it be es-
sential as a prerequisite for existence that
the unions be consolidated into a powerful
industrial union and that militant leadership
replace the present reactionary and traitor
Gus bureaucrats

Achievements of the Cultural Relations

ferent elements, and our schools
have been brought nearer to the
ideal of a uniform, technical, work
ing school. 1t is not possible to
enumerate the achievements effect
ed in this direction in a short article.
Celebrated foreign pedagogues who
have visited us have delineated them
in full.
Creative work in the schools is
being continued. The increasing
means and the growing attention of
the Party, of the young generation,
and of the entire Soviet publicity,
together with the growing care of
the economists for the enlightenment
of the population, provide the pos
sibility of making big strides for
ward in the course of the next few
years.
In regard to schools, increased at
tention is being paid to the seven
grade working schools. In the
school-year 1928, simultaneously
with the introduction of compulsory
education, especially as regards the
rural districts, all the municipalities
thickly inhabited by the proletariat
will be provided with such seven
grade schools. These schools will
have a decidedly industrialized char
acter and will approach that type
of proletarian school which was
roughly outlined by the hand of
Marx.
Colleges and Universities.
Colossal changes have also been
brought about by the revolution in
regard to the colleges. The social
composition of the student staff has
completely changed, now consisting
to 70 per cent Of workers and peas
ants. A new type of colleges has
been established which did not exist
before the war and which enables
the workers to acquire the most es-
sential knowledge in four years, suf-
ficient to qualify them for a college
training. These are the so-called
workers faculties, a peculiar crea-
ton of our popular educational
system.
In the whole Soviet Union there
are 129 colleges as against 81 before
the war. A growth of more than
40 per cent. The number of students
has meanwhile advanced by more
than % per cent, from $4,000 to
$4,000. In this connection it must
be remarked that the $4,000 stu
dents of pre-war times were re-
cruited exclusively from the privil-
eyed classes of society, including at
most the poor intelligentsia. At pre-
sent our students derive mainly from
worker and peasant families. 1t is
obvious that such a change called
for the provision of great sums for
the support of our students.
Great interest to certain types of
schools, such as the schools of the
young peasants (of which there are
now more than 50O), training the
peasants, in particular for the CO.
operatives and for the collectiviza-
ton of agriculture, and the working
schools for apprentices, which have
become (and will, it is hoped, re-
main) the most important institu-
tons for the training of the main
cadres of the working class and
which approaches the MARKHAM type
of proletarian school.

In the Stock Market
lRy Thomson & McKinnonl


The able president of the New
York Stock Exchange usually has
something interesting to say to the
public. He is quoted in a speech
made last night as saying there has
been a revolution in the use of
credit. There has been another revo-
lution-a revolution in the method
heretofore pursued by the public in
its market operation. There used to
be a sterotyped phrase that always
was applicable during very big mar
kets-that stocks have passed from
strong hands to the weak. We no
longer have weak hands in the
sense that the phrase was formerly
used. When people pay from a third
to a half of the cost of share of
stock we would say that it is good
buying and the stock in fairly
strong hands. If this was not so
you would not see what you wit
messed yesterdays tremendous
amount of profit taking which the
market quickly absorbed, and was
quickly followed by an eager de-
mand for more. This favorable con-
dition could continue indefinitely if
the public will observe one rule
don't buy a single share that you
can't take care Of every hour Of the
day.

BULL REPORT
SENDS WHEAT
HIGHER TODAY
Substantial Reduction Seen
in cadada's Crop
Estimate.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. IA substan-
tial reduction in the Canadian gov
eminent crop estimate issued after
the close yesterday sent wheat
sharply higher today onthe Board
of Trade. Corn and oats advanced
on moderate buying.
Wheat opened rs to 13s cents up,
corn was % to q cent higher and
oats were up Is to 9s cent. Pro-
visions we're about unchanged.
The Canadian report estimated
the dominion wheat crop at sol, 00O,-
900 bushels. The previous estimate
was 550,000,000 bushels. Traders
generally construed the report as
bullish, although many believe that
it's effect has been discounted by
prevailing levels.
Commission houses are advising
purchases of corn on the breaks.
Arrivals have been increasing but
consist mostly of low grade corn. 1t
is reported that exporters are bid
ding in downstate Illinois for corn
to be taken out by way Of New
Orleans.
Northwestern and eastern con-
Germs have been active on the buy
ing side of oats. The cash situation
