WOMEN ACTIVE in
WORKERS CENTER
CAMP AIGN DRIVE
United Council Leads
Organizations

Women are playing an active role
in the campaign to raise $4,000 to
purchase and finance the Workers
Center, 1928 Union Square. In this
they are upholding the tradition of
the modern working women, who fight
side by side with the men in. strikes,
in revolutions, in every phase of the
class struggle.
Leading the campaign work among
the women is the United Council of
Working Glass Women. This organi-
zation. which has done so much to
organize the women and provide re-
lief during the Passaic strike, the coal
strike and other struggles of the
workingclass, is now busily engaged
in collecting funds to establish the
new home of the revolutionary move
ment of New York City and vicinity,
Through it's various branches the
United Council of Working Class
Women is making thorough canvass
of the women workers, who are con-
tributing as generously as the men
The United Council of Working Class
Women is also determined to win the
revolutionary banner, which will be
awarded to the organization collecting
the most funds in the drive.
Greater Exploitation.
Ray Ragozin, organizer of the
Council, declared yesterday:
Working women are often forced
to undergo even greater exploitation
than the men, and that is why they
are among the best fighters in the
class struggle. Not only in the shop
and on the picket line, but also in the
home, in the revolutionary atmos-
phere that she creates, in the courage
that she instills in her husband and
children, is the working woman real
fighter for her class. ee .
And now the working woman is
called on to show her mettle in new
way. The campaign to establish the

WORKERS PARTY
BARESFARE STEAL
District Two Statement
Shows Tammany Part

The district executive committee
of the Workers (Communist) Party
District 2, last night issued state
ment condemning the judicial sane
tion of the 1. R. T. seven-cent fare
steal. The statement follows:
The federal courts, in collusion
with the Tammany Hall government
and the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company, has granted the 7-cents
fare to the traction kings of New
York. All the demagogy Of the Walk
er government that it is opposing the
7-cents fare has now been exposed.
The maneuver of taking it to the
federal court had for it's purpose to
shift the responsibility away from
Tammany Hall and the local poll
ticians so that the masses of people
of New York City may not be able
to lay the responsibility at their doors.
No worker will be fooled by these
maneuvers. 1t was evident from the
very beginning that Tammany and
the Walker and Smith administra-
tions were working with the traction
kings for an increased fare. The de-
cision comes as a climax after a
series of injunctions preventing the
workers from exercising their right
to picket and strike, after the ac-
quittal of millionaire Sinclair, the
notorious oil bandit. Behind the
camouflage of legal verbiage can be
seen the hand of the traction barons
in most high-handed attempt to
rob workers of the city of millions
of dollars each year.
These traction judges work hand

Opposition Of Masses Is
Predicted

Delay in putting the seven-cent fare
into force until after the November
elections in which Al Smith hopes to
be a candidate, was yesterday fore
shadowed in the apparent agreement
by the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company not to force action until the
end of this year.
Application to the United States
Supreme Court for an order to stay
the hand of the company from put
ting the increase into immediate
operation was made for the city by
Samuel Untermeyer, special counsel
for the Transit Commission. The full
bench of the supreme court, which

quest for the stay. Untermeyer sent
his assistant, Charles D. Williams, to
Washington yesterday to make the
necessary application. Williams, who
is former secretary to William How

interviewed both Taft and Justice

MASS PICKETING
BEGINS IN MILLS
Textile Committees Are
Leading Workers

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May g.
With the start of this week, the strike
of the $4,000 textile workers here be-
gan to assume an aggressiveness
which is in keeping with the spirit of
the original walk-out, when every
single worker in the 58 mills struck
against an attempt to slash wages 10
per cent.
Yesterday morning Witnessed a
greater response to the call of the
Textile Mill Committees for mass
picketing demonstrations than any
day since the first morning of the
strike. Thousands of textile strikers,
their wives and children demonstra,
ted their solidarity by. picketing the
factory gates Of the Hathaway, Cos
mold, City, Sharpe, Ackushnet and
Wamsutta mills, under the direction
of the mill committee picket leaders.
For the first time special patrols
of police were sent to the mills to
allay the nervousness of the few straw
bosses and company officials who
tried to start the idle looms. The
strikers succeeded in stopping some
of the foremen from going into the
mills. In this way they forestalled
the maneuver of some of the mill
owners, who believed that on hearing
the noise OF. running looms, some of
the strikers would break ranks and
return to work.
AS the membership of the Textile
Mill Committees, an organization
speaking in the name of the $4,000
unorganized workers of the 10000 on
strike, grows by leaps and bounds
daily, the strike machinery of the
mill committees is getting into full
swing. Not only are larger and larger
masses of strikers answering the call
to picket, but strikers relief machin-

Green ATTACKS

Says Nothing Of Fat

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nay 8. =
On the heels of the libelous attack
made on the Pennsylvania Ohio Min
ers Relief Committee, now the Nation
al Miners Relief Committee, by John
l.. Lewis at the closing sessions of
the senate committee fake investiga-
tion of the coal strike, William Green,
president of the A. F. Of L., struck
another blow at the work of provid-
ing food, clothing and shelter for the
striking miners and their families, in
a circular letter to all unions affili-
ated with the Federation.
Green in his letter states that the
rank and file relief committee has no
standing in the labor movement. 1t is
quite true that it is not liked by the
corpulent bureaucracy which has made
common cause with the employing
classes against the workers, but it has
standing with the masses of workers
thruout the country who themselves
feel the pinch of the capitalist profit
machine and who know that if the
miners lose their strike it will be q
signal for another drive to lower Their
own standards of living and working
conditions.
The funds contributed to the Ma
tional Miners Relief Committee goes
