PICKETINC CROWS

]ECOMES BITTER
Mill Committees Help
Hungry Family

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, April %.
As the 10000 striking textile work.
rs here, whose miserable wages
ever finds them more than two weeks
head of actual starvation, used up
che last weeks wages that they had
received from their work in the mills,
the numbers turning out to patrol the
mill gates were heavier than at any
time since last Monday morning, when
the strike began.
A great difference was also ap-
parent in the temper displayed by the
strikers. While picketing last Mon
day was more in the spirit of a
demonstration of power and strength,
the sentiment expressed by yester-
days turnous of pickets was of far
more serious kind. Bitter determine
tion to win the fight against the mill
owners replaced the more carefree en-
thusiasm of last week.
Pickting More Organized.
The picketing also took on a more
conscious, organized form as the call
of the Textile Mill Committee for
picket demonstrations at all plants
threatening to resume operations, was
obeyed by the strikers. In this the
plans of the leaders of the American
Federation of Textile Operatives are
being completely disregarded by the
workers. The strikers, massed around
the open gates of several mills, soon
compelled them to shut again.

The nine furrier victims IN the

10000 MINERS To
JOIN BIG STRIKE
Progressives Report on
Great Movement

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 23.-Ten
thousand unorganized miners will
swell the total already out in West
moreland county by the end of this
week, according to John Watt OF
Springfield, Illinois, now organizing
for the "Save-the- Union" Committee
in the non-union fields of western
Pennsylvania with Anthony P. Miner
ich, Powers Hapgood, Ella Reeve
Bloor and scores Of other organi2 ers
It is estimated that there are 10000
miners now on strike in the -four
unorganized counties.
Watt declared that he has never
experienced so much enthusiasm for
organization as he finds among the
exploited slaves of the coal barons
of Westmoreland county. The rank
and file miners are showing a re-
markable facility on learning the
technique of organization. Their
fighting spirit is excellent and the
women are participating in the task
of organization with as much en-
thusiasm as the men. Several mass
meetings are held daily in halls and
in the open air.
Eviction notices are being pre-
pared by the coal operators, and by
the end of the month hundreds of
striking miners will be threatened
with eviction from their homes. A
new wave of evictions is sweeping
thruout the old strike regions of
Pennsylvania. In Avella, an insur-
gent stronghold, eight families were
given final five-day notice last
Saturday to leave their homes. A
committee from the local union in
volved visited Pat Pagan, president of
District Five, and requested assist
ance. He asked the committee on
what side of the inter-union struggle
they stood and when informed that
they supported the progressive side
he shook his head and said he could

"Red Banquet" to Mark
Formal Opening

Pointing out the Importance to al
militant workers Of the new Worker
Center at 1928 Union Square, ia!
Lovestone, executive secretary of tn
Workers (Communist) Party, and
William Foster, member of the sec
retariat of the Workers Party, Il
statements issued yesterday, endorso
the drive for $4,000 to purchase an
finance the Workers Center and cal
upon all workers to lend it their U
most support.
Lovestone's statement declares:
"The establishment Of the revolu
tionary movement of New York il
home of its own means much mer
than merely the acquisition of a cen
trail building. The Workers Party
the New York district and the move
ment that has sprung up around il
have grown to such an extent that
it has become impossible to carry on
properly the increased activities with
our forces scattered in inadequate
quarters. 1t has become a necessity
for US to centralize our forces in the
ever-sharpening class struggle. And
Union Square, the heart of the rev.
olutionary movement, is the logical
place for such Capitalization.
"With the establishment of the
Workers Center on Union Square, the
revolutionary movement of New York
takes possession of this scene of so
many working class demonstrations,
which in the future will be even more
definitely a battle-ground for its
struggles against capitalism. Every
class-conscious worker must contri-
butte his share in the campaign for
$4,000 to buy this home of working
class activity and thus strike nigh
ty blow for his class and against Il
capitalist class in It's greatest strong
hold.
Needed More Than Ever.
Fosters statement follows:
"Now more than ever is a center
for all the activities of the militant
workers of New York needed. The
united front of the capitalists and
the betrayers of labor, who are try
ing to crush all militancy in the work
ers and to convert the trade unions
into docile tools of the bosses, makes
the establishment of the Workers
Center in Union Square of moment
Gus Importance as a factor for con-
centrating the forces of the workers
of New York in their bitter struggle
against their enemies.
"Around this revolutionary center

CAST HUGE VOTE
ORCOMMUNISTS
Beat Socialist Party in
Paris Districts

PARIS, April 23.-Altho the cleo
toral laws prevented the return of any
Communist candidates to the chamber
of deputies in the first ballot in the
French national elections, the Com
munist Party polled huge popular
vote that vindicated the expectations
Of the Party. In the suburbs of Paris
alone, Communist Party candidates
polled total of $4,000 votes to the
socialists $4,000.
Even in agricultural districts the
Communist Party gained numerous
votes which had hitherto gone to the
socialist party. In the department of
Loire, which is predominantly agri-
cultural district, the Communist can
didates polled 10000 to $4,000 votes
for the socialists. Communists led
socialist candidates in the Nord and
Calais departments which had hither-
to been socialist.
DoriOt In Lead.
At least twenty Communist candi-
dates are expected to be returned to
the chamber when the second ballot
is cast next Sunday. Doriot, Duclos
and Cachin, Communist Party lead
ers who have all been sentenced to
Jail for opposing the French war in
the Riff, are all leading the polls in
their districts and are almost certain
to be returned to the chamber on the
second ballot.
Duclos is leading the socialist lead
er, Blum, who is placed in the position
of soliciting bourgeois votes or re-
firing from the elections. Blum is
expected to enter into a coalition with
the radicals in his effort to defeat
the Communist candidate. Blum's po-
