ACTIVE LEAGUE

National Guardsmen
Join Movement

The New Bedford League is max
ing tremendous gains in recruiting
the young textile workers and
strikers into its ranks. The League
at present has about 100 members.
the greatest majority of which are
young strikers who are active in the
strike of the 10000 workers in New
Bedford.
Excellent Headquarters.
The League has rented a beautiful
and spacious hall in the center of
the city, and day or night young
workers can be found reading
writing, or doing other work at the
headquarters. These young workers
in the three months of strike have
learned that only by joining the
League, the only revolutionary
youth organization can they wage a
successful fight not only against
the cotton barons, but against the
capitalist class Jas Rwhole.

members of the National Guard

come on the picket lines and refuse

When Battery F went to camp, the
League distributed special leaflet
to the young workers, and the story
goes in official headquarters that
one of the reasons this battery was
withdrawn at this time is because of
the work the League had carried or

The League in New Bedford is
there to stay. The League has
proven its right to being the van

contrasts well with the fact that the

New Bedford, and have failed to
gain single member, having even
no branch there. More power to the

Albert Weisbord, who was arrested
in New Bedford yesterday, has been
released and will report on the latest
. developments of the New Bedford
struggle. Working class organiza-
tons, individuals and unions have
sent in pledges of support and will
turn over their contributions Thurs
day evening to rush help to the New
Bedford strikers. The calling out
of the state militia and the attempt
to intimidate the workers at the
points Of its bayonets has met with
defeat. The picket lines they are
organizing have been reinforced. For
every striker arrested, another work
er takes his place for picket duty.
The New Bedford strikers are in
for fight to the finish. All or
ganized workers must rally to their
support. The meeting Thursday
night for Passaic opens the drive for

Weisbord, Nearing at
Ratification

The New Jersey State Ratifica-
ton Conference of the Workers
(Communist) Party, to be held on
Sunday, August 5, at the Workers
Progressive Center, SO Mercer St.,
Newark, will mark the opening of
the Communist election campaign
in state which is notorious for its
anti-labor record. The enthusiastic
response to the conference, already
evident by the large number Of
workers organizations who are
sending delegates, shows that the
workers of New Jersey are begin
ming to understand that the capital
list parties are their enemies, and
that the political and industrial stu
alton in New Jersey presents great
possibilities for an effective Com
munist election campaign.
New Jersey has long been known
as haven for big corporation in
terests. Because of its exception
ally favorable laws for corpora
lions, big business has sought in
corporation there, assured, further
more. Of little state interference in
the exploitation and oppression of
New Jersey workers.
Bad Condition of Workers.
With its textile mills, munitions
plants, metal manufacturing estab-
lishments, oil refineries, automobile
and aeroplane factories, New Jer-
sey ranks as one of the most i'm
portant industrial states in the east.
The workers in these industries are
almost entirely unorganized. Low
wages, long hours, industrial haz-
ards, wretched working conditions,
combine to render the lot of New
Jersey workers bitter in the ex-
IRENE. Child labor is rampant.
Thousands of women workerE many
of them mothers of little Children,
toll on day and night shifts for mis-
cradle wages.
The political forces of the state
have openly allied themselves with
the corporation interests. Factory
inspection laws are disregarded with
impunity, as we'll as laws against
night work for women and child
labor. The New Jersey State Legis-
lature has easily passed laws SER
wing the corporation interests, but
has killed all labor bills urged
against it. Injunctions, police bru-
tally and terrorism, arrests and i'm
prisonment, are the weapons used
against the workers when they at
tempt to organize or go on strike.
Old Parties Unite Against Workers.
Workers organizations have still
time to choose representatives to
the State Ratification Conference
on Sunday, August 5, in Newark,
where a state platform will be
adopted and plans outlined for car
rying on an intensive drive among
the workers of New Jersey. Albert
Weisbord and Scott Nearing will be
the principal speakers.
Musical Program.
Preceding the conference, on Sat-
urday night, August a, at the
Workers Progressive Center in
Newark, will be held a Ratification
Banquet. Many workers from all
over the state are expected to at

A SHTORETH bought a white
"a crepe de chine, simple little
thing with kick pleats. White
shoes to go with it, and red tennis
socks.
When she tried it on that eve
ming at home and pinned a gypsy
kerchief across her shoulders, she
looked like Helen Willis exhibiting
the correct thing for sports.
She chose, also, a beaded dinner
frock, originally pure and sweet
Marked from S65 to $3.50 because
the beads were coming off.
1t took eight hours to sew them
on. But it was a good days pay,
however you looked at it.
To wear with the little white
gown, she bought with crepe de
chine pumps, planning to have them
dyed for the street in the spring
time.
A faded pink satin proved ador-
able as to line and fit.
It'll dye it that new shade of Gin

Ashtoreth 81 think they're the
only practical thing for travelling,
because a girls always we'll dressed
if she's simply dressed.
"And sports clothes are some
thing you can wear morning, noon
and night. Sunny days and rainy
days, and all the time"
She found a rose voile and a
French blue hat to go with it. Then
a pale yellow, with which the same
hat was particularly good.
Then for "a cents a yard she
bought lowered print. And, for
$103 apiece, made three pretty
dresses.

It is much harder to defend Free Trade for single country in a world of tariffs than to see that Free Trade all round must benefit every body. Even the toughest Protectionist will usually admit that should be better off without tariffs if only other people would do without them too But the acknowledgment is usually formal, and Proteetionists here and in other countries look upon all efforts to general reduction of tariffs with the same kind of distrust as tired admirals usually show of a Disarmament Conference It is this blind, persistent prejudice which makes it hard to carry into effect the resolutions of the World Economic Conference in favor of freer trade Nevertheless MT. w.

But still long way off the general downward revision which the Conference advocated. There have been one or two ncable instances of something like conversion -Mr Layton cited the Australian Tariff Board s comments the mischievous effects of Protection in the Common weath,--but it that we must look for progress through separate com mercial treaties rather than by means of single comprehensive international convention Never theess the Consultative Committee of the League still hopes to secure results from international conventons dealing with single industries. As

 the tariffs of the world only remain constant | they deprive the world of growing quantity of potential wealth The proportion of foreign

 be essential to it's life. Our Protectonists would
