TEXTILE STRIKE
RANKS SOLID AS
9Th week BEGINS
TING. Tighten Lines to
Prevent Mill Reopening

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June IL
The ninth week of the great strike
of the $4,000 textile workers here,
begins with every one of the 56 mills
still completely shut down and with
the strike ranks presenting a more
formidable front than at the begin
ming of the anti wage-cut struggle,
due to the growth of the New Bed
ford Textile Workers Union, a
branch Of the National Textile Mills
Committee.
The T. M. C. union is rallying all
its forces to mobilize the strikers for
the inevitable attempt of the mill
owners to reopen the mills with wage
cut schedules.
The mobilization to fight this move
will be, according to the strike lead
ers, heavily fortified picket patrols at
all the mills, and the speeding up OF
plans of the Textile Mills Commit
tee to spread the textile strike wave
to other centers, particularly to the
$4,000 workers in Fall River.
In addition to this, work for rails
ing relief for strikers and their fam
lies, and the raising of funds for de-
tense against the daily intensifying
police terror, will also receive primary
attention of the T. M. c. strike ma
chinery. The national organizations
of the Workers International Relief,
and the international Labor Defense,
are at the disposal of the textile
union for these campaigns.

TWlLL the peace proposals of which

war in Nicaragua" l asked the pink
checked, doddering old man who was
being escorted out of the Grand Ball
Room of the Hotel Pennsylvania last
night by the Honorable Joseph S.
Frelinghuysen, former United States
Senator from New Jersey.
"That has nothing to do with Mica

Frank B. Kellogg, L. L. d. and Sec

He had spent half an hour reading
from prepared manuscript and spoke
cheerlessly about the multilateral
peace treaties which he, as member
of the Reformed Dutch Church, was
sponsoring.

|. R. T.PREP ARES
FOR FARE STEAL
Propaganda Letter To
Fool Workers

In a long letter intended obviously
for the consumption of the workers
and straphangers for whom it is
spending hundreds of thousands of
dollars to deceive, but formally ad-
dressed to the Transit Commission,
the Interborough Rapid Transit Com
pany yesterday pleaded that it be not
forced to lengthen it's platforms and
to comply with other demands no.
minally made upon it by the commits
sion.
The letter which was signed by E.
B. Starboard, vice-president of the
company but actually inspired and
composed by the I. R. T. dictator" !"
James L. Quackenbush, general coun-
sci for the road, took issue with re-
cent statements of Samuel Inter
myer, special counsel for the Transit
Commission, Untermyer charged that
"the Interborough has paralyzed the
regulatory powers of the commission
by securing the recent injunction
against the commission which among
other things prevents the commission
from enforcing it's order on the COM
pany to purchase additional equip
ment, lengthen its platforms, install
automatic signals on local trains, etc
These charges are "unwarranted,"
the Interborough declares.
The purpose of the Interborough
propaganda, it is believed, is to off
set any possible influence on the
supreme court by the charge that the
company is setting aside the func-
tions of the duly constituted Transit
Commission.

This means that yesterday, Monday, we
were still short by $179.39 of the first $4,000
which were to have last Saturday. So we are
behind the schedule. Of the total $4,000 which
we must have by the end of this week, we
will have to raise $5,179.39.
1t is no easy task to raise this sum which
yet remains to be gotten. The danger is no
smaller today than it was at the end of last
week, when we succeeded in postponing some
of the payments until yesterday. We must
secure more funds very rapidly if we are to
succeed. We are in no panic; we are sure that
you, Comrades, will work harder than ever
today-this week-to make up the total which
still is necessary if The DAILY WORKER
is to remain alive.
We apologize to the militant working class
readers of The DAILY WORKER for the tenn
porary omission of many splendid articles
and much workingclass news which we are
unable to print while we hayeshut four pages
We assure you that with your continued help
through this crisis we will restore our paper
to the larger size and fight on stronger than
ever
But we must depend on you to send every
dollar that you can possibly contribute imme-
dately by telegraph, airmai or special delivery
to The DAILY WORKER, 33 First St., New
York.

Western States Active.
Particularly active steps are being
taken by districts in the western
states, it was learned. District or

Idaho in an aggressive campaign to
put the party on the ballot in that
state.
From Kansas come reports that in
spite of the difficulty and the many
handicaps to be overcome due to the
election laws intended to eliminate
minor PARTIES, and in spite of the open
opposition of the state officials, there
lis good chance Of obtaining the
necessary number Of signatures which
must be obtained in at least twenty
counties before the 18th of June.

In Oklahoma the drive to secure the
necessary 5000 signatures to put the
Party On the ballot is going on sys-
tematically. The final date set is
June 10th.
Chicago reports that arrangements
are being made for campaign picnic
to be held on July 4th. Milwaukee
has arranged picnic to be held July

Minnesota is actively engaged in a
great drive to build the Labor Party
of that state and at the same time
to defeat the third party elements
masquerading as leaders within the

WHEELING, W. Va, June IL. -
Laura Calegari, coal digger's widow
who is leading the strike of morgan
lied miners at the Elm Grove and
Triadelphia mines of the Valley Coal
Company, is threatened with perma-
nent separation from her two chill
dren as result of strike activity.
Laura, as everybody in Triadelphia
calls her, will have to appear in a

"If I promised to stay off the pick

Laura Calegari is the moving spirit
in the strike which tied up all three
mines and involved some 1,500 miners.
1t is she who keeps the picket lines
moving daily before the three mines.
In letter to the National Miners

klansmen, also, among the con-
vention delegates. With the ex-
ception of those who are still
holding out for the re-nomina-
.tion of Calvin Coolidge the khan
delegates are for Hoover almost to a
man. The only factor that has caused
anything resembling a split in the
klan ranks is the favorite son cam
paign of Senator James Watson OF

The support which Hoover is deriv-
ing from the khan shows indirectly
also close relationship between the
klan and the Coolidge administration,
since Hoover is running on a pledge to
continue the open shop policies at
home and the imperialist policies
abroad of Coolidge's Teapot Dome
government.
The convention is due to open to-
morrow. And by the time the final
ballot is cast the workers may see
another demonstration of the fact
that public school glorification of
United States presidents is a myth.

The Nebraska federation Of labo.
has endorsed Smith. but Senator
Howell. supporting Hoover. has had
many followers in organized labor.
A Smith endorsement was voted re-
Gently by leaders OF the state fed

cieties, but It Is conceded that Hoov-
er will have the support of a con-
tingent OF the German Lutherans.
Even the negro element In Omaha
is exhorted by negro spellbinders to
vote democratic and to vote repub-
lican.
Both sides are giving much at
tention to the trend OF opinion
among the Germans, and the litera
ture distributed by campaign ag"n
cies contain many references to the
interests of those OF German line
age. A leaflet put out by the Agrl
cultural League OF Nebraska quotes
a minister OF the Norwegian Luth-
eran church in Minnesota as having
declared for Smith. One of the
pamphlets distributed by the repub'

an important factor in solving the
riddle of November s.
