ORGANIZERS SAY
Michigan Holds State
Meet at Flint

Details of the interest which the
National Nominating Convention of
the Workers (Communist) Party, TO
be held here beginning next Friday,
May 25, is evoking among workers
and farmers thruout the United States
are being daily received at the head
quarters Of the Party as news OF the
State Conventions and arrangements
for the sending of delegates arrives.
Many on Their Way.
Many Of the delegates, especially
from the far western states, are al
ready on their way to the convention
and the major activity in the districts
is now being concentrated on placing
the Workers (Communist) Party on
the ballot in November.
In many of the western and
southern states this can only be eff
fected by the securing of a large
number of signatures. Organizers
thruout the country are busily en-
gagged in collecting these lists ut
present.
From all sections where this listing
is going on the organizers report the
most lively interest in the convention
and the ensuing campaign.
This interest is by no means limited
to the industrial sections Of the work
ing class, the organizers assert, but
includes large masses of destitute
and semi-destitute farmers thruout
the rural districts.
From points as far apart as Della
ware and California, Paul Crouch,
who is organizing for Party in the
south, and John Owens, in the I'm
perial Valley in California, state that
the poor farmers of both sections are
enthusiastic in their reception of the
convention and the Party program.

Mill. STRIKERS
PARALYzE TRADE
Cancellation Committee
Formed by Merchants

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May 20
AS the great strike of the 10000 tex
tile workers here enters the sixth
week of struggle against the attempt
at 10 per cent wage reduction, the
merchants and other small business
interests are beginning frantic efforts
to organize conciliation committees,
which will be powerless to terminate
the strike, judging from the deter
mination to win expressed by the
workers.
Not only are the Textile Mill Com
mittees intrenching their leadership
in the struggle in New Bedford, but
work for spreading the strike to Fail
River where $4,000 textile workers
suffered similar wage slash, is get
ting into full swing. Despite the con-
tinued opposition of the reactionary
leaders of the Textile Council of Fall
River, who several months ago sue
ceeded in preventing a successful
strike vote, sentiment for a walkout
is growing by leaps and bounds.
Relief work, both the collection and
the distribution of aid to the families
of thousands of strikers, is assuming
more and more the form Of smooth
running machine. Larger crews of
strikers go out on fishing expeditions
Last week over 5000 pounds of fish
were brought in for strike relief.

Fierce Fire Is Still Blaz-

Especial to The Dailv Worker)

Especial to The Daily WoTker)
WAYNESBURG, Pa, May 20
Four hundred miners may have lost
their lives as a result of the fire and
explosion which occurred in the scab
Mather Galleries Company mine
about nine miles northeast of this ex-
treme southwest Pennsylvania town
Saturday.
Failure by the scab coal company
to take any of the necessary precau-
tions to prevent accident is given as
the cause of. the explosion. A ire
mendous explosion, followed immedi-
ately by fierce fire which is still
blazing, resulted in the trapping of the
miners and preventing rescue work
A number of the men are reported to
have escaped, although this report re-
mains unverified
Hundreds of miners and the wives
of those entombed have gathered
about the burning pit awaiting rescue.
Physicians and surgeons from here
have been rushed to the scene, but
there appears very little hope for res
cue work.
Practically all scab mines which are
operating violate all safety laws.

WORKERS DEMAND
FREEDOM FOR KUN
Thousands Protest in
Union Square

{ A lowering sky and intermittent
drizzling rain failed to dampen the
ardor of 5000 New York workers,
who gathered in Union Square Satur-
day afternoon and shouted lusty
"Aye" to resolution demanding the
immediate and unconditional release
of Bella Kun, Hungarian Communist
leader, now held prisoner by the Aus
trian government.
Speaker after speaker, addressing
the workers from two platforms,
pointed out to the steady increasing
crowd the significance of the arrest
of Kun, the possibility of his extradi-
ton to Hungary, where his murder is
inevitable, the connections between
American Imperialism and the fascist
rulers of Hungary, and called upon
the workers to use the only weapon
at their command to save Kun-mass
protest and solidarity with the work
ingclass of the world.
The implications Of the worldwide
movement to save Kun were aptly
summarized by Jay Lovestone, exec
utive secretary of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party, when he declared that
not the life of an Individual was at
stake, but that the case involved the
entire struggle of the workers against
world capitalism. Lovestone received
tremendous ovation when he was
introduced.
Denunciations Of Hungarian fascism
were greeted with applause, while
loud boos, catcalls and Kisses drowned
out the names of Horthy, Mussolini
and Herbert Hoover. The mention of
the Soviet Union was invariably

This movement was started two
years ago, and it's growth is signifi-
cant of the renewed interest which is
being taken in the outstanding figures
of the movement for the emancipa-
tion of the Negro race.
The speakers announced for the
meeting are Richard B. Moore, of the
American Negro Labor Congress, who
will act as chairman; William Pick
ems, of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People;
Henry Rosemond, of the Haitian Pa
triotic Union; August V. Bernier of
the Knights of Toussaint L'Ouver-
ture; j. ]. Adam, Haitian representa-
tive at the Geneva Conference, and
others.
"A little more than hundred years
after Haiti's triumphant struggle
against Napoleon for her comrs etc
independence, this island of the West
Indies finds itself under the steel
heels Of American imperialism; a
foreign control far more crushing and
deadening than ever attended the
political control of one state over an
other, Moore said last night.
L'Ouverture was born a slave in
the French colony of Haiti, then
known as Santo Domingo. When the
revolution came in France at the close
of the 18th century the revolutionary
ideas of Danton and Robespierre
found ready recruits among the toll
ing slaves and discontented mulatoes
of the island. L'Ouverture was the
foremost of the Santo Dominican
leaders. He not only overthrew
slavery throughout the island but
carried on a successful struggle
against Napoleon's Themidoran policy
Of reaction and made way for the
birth of the Republic of Haiti.

that demand for increased wages
for the laborers at the plant is being
considered. This is in addition to the
demands which the strikers originally
presented. Laborers at the oil plants
in Bayonne get less than $25 week.
Salaried workers have joined the
strike, they announced at a strike
mass meeting yesterday at Hooper
Cooper Hall on E. 22nd st.
Another "ultimatum" from the
Tidewater bosses was distributed
among the strikers at a mass meet
ng yesterday. The strikers promptly
tore the notices up.
Sentiment among the 5000 or more
workers at the Standard Oil plants
here, and several thousand at the
Texas Oil and Gulf Refining Co. yes
terday indicated that the strike would
soon spread to these plants.
Discomfort at the Bayway plant of
the Standard Oil at Elizabeth, and at
he Standard plant in Jersey City has
also become pronounced.
A committee of 100 strikers was
:hosen to picket the Tidewater plant
yesterday, and three boats were also
obtained to picket the plant, fronting
on New York Bay.
Edward Foerst, who is leading the
strike. made an appeal to the workers
to stand solid. He was answered with
enthusiastic cheers. He said that the
xalkont had crippled the plant
Foerst was followed by workers in
every department of the plant, who
each stated the grievances of the de-
