ARREST WATERS
FOR PICKETING

The arrest of two picket strikers
Saturday marked the opening of the
second week of the strike in the
Trufood Vegetarian Restaurants
Inc, located at 1853 w. 44th' St., 40
w. doth St. and 524 Seventh Ave
Abe Auerbach and Alex Sagy, the
framed pickets, were arrested on a
charge of disorderly conduct made
by the bosses. Both Auerbach and
Sagy were given suspended SEN
fences.
Besides arresting the two pickets
the bosses have placed sign in
the window stating that workers in
their restaurants are not on strike
that the conditions of the workers
are good and that the strike has
merely been declared because the
union officials have brow-beaten the
workers into the strike for the bene-
fit Of the former alone.
These statements are denied by
strikers. Women workers work
from $500 hours per week receiv'
ing not more than $25-S30 per week
wages. The walters work thirteer
hours a day and receive slightly
higher wages.

A Letter to Japanese Workers

(From the All-China Labor Fed
eration)
Dear { omrades:
Reaction sweeps over the Japanese
islands and seas. Persecution and
suppression of revolutionary work
ers and peasants is going on per-
sistently and Systematically in yiur
country The crushing of your
class-conscious trade union and pro-
letarian party organizations is the
order of the day in the realms of the
Mikado. The arch-reactionary Sci
yukai's government in the most
brutal fashion is throwing your
militant and revolutionaries in the
prisons for many years. The Fas-
cistic General Tanaka government
is trying to break the backbone of
your movement; to disarm you from
working-class policies and leader
ship; to switch your trade unions
and proletarian parties into class
collaboration and reformist swamps:
to corrupt your movement-all for
the benefit of the master class, the
bourgeoisie and the landlords.
Urge Fight on Exploiters
We have no doubt, dear comrades,
that you will meet and oppose the
offensive of the exploiters and OPP
pressors with determination and
mass mobilization by closing your
ranks and unifying your forces upon
a militant program; a fighting pro-
gram for your daily needs, for the
defense and liberation of the ar
rested comrades, for the emancipa
ton of your class from the yoke Of
capitalism and landlordism. To all
workers and peasants who are or
ganizing and fighting in this direc-
ton, and to all imprisoned COM
rades, the All-China Labor Fedora
ton sends its heartiest greetings
and best wishes.
Kuomintang Betrayal
We are writing to you these few
words from our bitter experience.
Thus a couple of years ago we have
not closed up our ranks sufficiently
upon a clear-cut revolutionary pro-
gram and have permitted to too
great on extent the right wing and
observation-disclosures elements with
in the Kuomintang and other organ
izations. to exercise control and
leadership Of our revolution-the

cordingly. They occupy our cities
and plumber our country; they have
jointly elected from our country the
representatives of the only power
friendly to the Chinese revolution
namely. Soviet Russia. At the same
time in the plumber of our country,
rivalry among the imperialist pow
ers is sharpening, which i'll inevi-
tably result in bloody war.
The Japanese imperialists are the
most aggressive and provocative.
Their military occupation of Shan
tung is aimed to divide our country,
to subjugate it to foreign control
and exploitation for ages to come.
Drive Japan From China
We are, of course, determined to
fight and drive out of our country
the Japanese and ali other imperial
lists with all our might and force.
Likewise, with determination we will
fight to the finish the ruuing- dogs
of imperialism-the Kuomintang
government. But we want to state
most emphatically that while we
hate and condemn the Japanese i'm
perialists and their running-dogs at
home and abroad, we have the
greater sympathy and love for the
revolutionary workers and peasants
of Japan. And upon you, dear COM
rades, we call to intensity the cam
paign for the Hands Off China
movement. Upon you, comradc
trade unionists, we call to demand
the immediate withdrawal of the
Japanese army and naval forces
from our country. Upon you, pea

in mass action.

OHIO MINE WOMEN
TO STAND TRIAL

ST. GAINESVILLE, O., July s.
Mrs. Janet Guynn and Mrs. Mary
Barto, two leaders of the 81 wom-
en- pickets who were herded into the
Belmont County jail at st. Glars
vile, Ohio, on April 81, must stand
trial in September on charges of
"riotous assemblage." The Civil
Liberties Union has asked an in
vestigation of their cases by its
Pittsburgh representatives, with a
view to aiding in their defense.
Tricked into entering the prison
when they marched there in protest
against the Imprisonment of their
striking menfolk, the 81 women
were held for 70 hours in packed
vermin-infested quarters, where
four cots furnished the only sleep
ing accommodations. Nursing moth
ers in the group were not allowed
to have their babies brought to them
until the second day, even though
fathers carried them to the prison
gates and begged admission.
The other 49 women, who were al
lowed to sign bonds for their own
release, were told by County Prose-
cutor Paul Waddell that a special
session of the grand jury would be
called to press indictments against
them if they continued active in the
strike, but that they would not be
molested "if they behaved"

German Auto-Rubber
Trust to Drive Workers

A planned rubber merger in Ger
many that will consist of the three
largest rubber plants, backed by the
two largest banks of Germany, will
constitute a dangerous rival for
American rubber and will result in a
driving speed-up system in both
countries.
The trust will be financed by the
Darmstaeder and National Bank and
the Deutsche Bank, two of the most
powerful German banks, which are
at present concentrating the auto
mobile industry. World trustifica-

ACCEPT $500 FOR
MEMBERSHIP FEE

There are sufficient plumbers in
the locals of New York to handle
the work at all times. Nevertheless
large proportion Of the plumbers
are out of work.
Figures in the past have been I'M
reliable since they have always been
guessed at. The reason for this
cam be seen when it is understood
that the books of Locals 463, IL,
and 41S have been closed for sew
eral years. For the past five years
there has been a building trades
boom and in this time the grafters
who are the leaders Of the plum
ters' locals have been making hay
while the sun shines by accepting
members for $500 to $500. (The
regular fee being 500, this graft
money was taken by the examining
board under cover.)
The bureaucratic leadership of all
these locals is organized so as to
fool the membership and keep its
fat-salaried jobs. 1t is about time
that the rank and file organize so
as to elect to the executive boards
real honest trade unionists who will
fight for the interest of the mem
bership and not to place in power
again a bunch of grafters.

Bosses Organize To
Fight Workers
By ESTHER LOWELL
Federated Press)

GREENSBORO, N. c., July s.
Big financial interests dominate the
North Carolina Cotton Manufactur-
ers Association, their choice of Off
GERS for the coming year plainly
shows. The annual convention met
at King Cotton Hotel, Greensboro,
with about 200 executives attend
ing from the states main mills. All
of North Cardinals 500 mills are
anti-union. Most are no longer in
dependent units but are linked into
chains by common ownership.
Duke money, in Duke power which
supplies many Carolina textile mills
with electric current, registers heav-
lily in the cotton manufacturers as
ISOLATION. Duke money is still in
the tobacco trust companies once
led by j. B. Duke. 1t is allied with
the MELONS in power and American
Aluminium and is in banking and
ether enterprises, north and south.
Duke money controls Piedmont &
Northern Railway, in which many
of the textile association executives
are directors. First Vice-President
y. H. Separk, of a string of Gas
tonia yarn mills, is one. C. A. Can
non, of the huge Cannon Mills
group, is another. Cannon interests
are putting a mill in Badin, N. c.,
the American Aluminium town, in
response to an I'D for an industry
to use surplus wives and daughters
of aluminium workers. B. B. Cos
sett, of Chadwick-Hoskins' many
mills, is a cotton association execu :
tive and rail director.
However disorganized their work
ers are, North Carolina mill men
are we'll organized. Their associa-
ton has its active tax committee for
getting more lenient laws for mills.
Bernard Cone, of Greensboro's big
gest mills, is chairman. He and his
brothers started as southern mill
owners from Baltimore commission
merchants and are now in control
of many Carolina plants. The mill
men have permanent committeeman
for joint buying of cheap southern
coal and for handling more effec-
lively their traffic needs with the
railroads.
North Carolina, with more than
100000 spindles, had nearly all
working in May and actually more
operating than Massachusetts, which
has more than 100000 spirdles in
place. The southern state had an
average of nearly three times the
spindle hours of the Bay state, which
limits women's work to 48 hours,
VS.. North Cardinals 60, and bans
their night work. Cardinals wages
are at least a third lower, also.
New uses for cotton was the con-
vention theme. Ernest Morse, of
the Cotton Textile Institute, and
William Carmen, Jr., of the federal
apartment of commerce, gave the
lain addresses. C. G. Hill, retiring
president, reiterated the old theme
that the r1ill men are imbued with
the brother hood of man spirit in re-
lations with their workers. This
was the only reference to the folks
who make goods and profits for
their employers with IL and r.
hour day and night shifts and wages
averaging little more than So day.

Illness From Speed-Up.
In almost any survey of time lost
by workers, statistics show that i'll
ness accounts for large part of the
loss. In a survey made by the U. S
department of labor, wom n s
bureau, on lost time and labor turn
over in cotton mills, it was found
that sickness of the workers COM
prises 1872 per cent Of the time
lost, an average loss of 1912 day s
per woman worker for illness alone
and these figures do not include i'll
ness due to pregnancy and confine-
ment nor accident.
In a study on waste in industry
the federated American engineering
societies have brought together from
several sources figures that are of
interest in this connection. 1t is
pointed out that Investigations of
the U. S. commission of industrial
relations in 1913-15 covers survey
of sickness prevalent among ap-
proximately a million workers o.
representative occupations, reveal
ing an average loss to more than
10000 wage earners of about nine
days per year.
Workers, in compiling these re-
ports, found that half-sick woman
usually will work if the need of her
earnings are imperative. The fol-
lowing chart will show that the
time lost by overworked women
through illness is greater than
through any other cause:
Cause Time Lost

The Remedy!
The above is quoted from the $50
cialist' Reading Unionist. And
what do you think is the remedy &C
cording to the Reading socialist"
An appeal to the employers for bet
ter and humanitarian conditions fol-
the working women. Here is what
they say:
at is the belief of union workers
that by the Statewide establish
ment of the eight-hour day the
work done by the women will be
more efficient because their health
would be better and they would not
lose SO much time through illness.
Because of this increase in eff:
cheney, the employer would be gain
ing rather than losing and the
women workers would not only be
saving doctor bills but would also
be healthier and happier"
This is the propaganda stuff by
which the Reading socialist" are
trying to organize the workers. APP
peal to the bosses, instead of the
class struggle. 1t is no wonder that
the Reading workers are becoming
disillusioned and Disguised with the
Socialists" and often one can hear
them say that the Socialists are
too damn slow and they don't
promise anything and don't give
anything"
The average worker doesn't know
the difference between the present
Socialist" administration and re-
publican one. They can't be blamed
since there is really very little diff
| ference.
The workers of Reading as well as
of other cities are beginning to I'M
derstand that the socialist" party
is nothing but capitalist party and
the only way the workers can gain
anything at all is by kicking out Of
office the lackeyy of the bourgeoisie
and through final class struggle
organize government of their own
