Orders to every union member not

Officers of the union stated yester-
day that while the strike has been
practically won, and that while wage
increases and improved conditions
have been granted by the majority
of bosses the union would not per-
nit the members to continue in the
belief that full victory could be
won without a real fight by the
membership and more strike duty.
All unemployed members who fail
to appear for duty this morning,
union officers declared, would have
to answer for. their failure.
About rs per cent of the bosses

LIMOGES PLAN TO
DEFEND PARIS
FROM The REDS
French Govt Alarmed
by Communists

PARIS, Oct. 19.-The activities
and growth of the Communist Party
of France has instilled such great
fear into the French government and
military officials that they have
found it necessary to publish a plan,
known as Plan T.. for the defense Of
the city should revolution occur.
To justify their action and pre-
pare the way for campaign against
the "Reds" they have let it be known
that secret Communist plan had
been discovered, whereby Paris
would be captured. They claim to
have discovered this plan through a
Red leader" who had deserted the
ranks of the revolutionists.
According to the official French
version Of how the Communists
would take possession of the capital,
the front ranks of the revolutionists
would be made up of host of taxi
cabs carrying machine-guns, and
the workers of the French Street
Cleaning Department would turn
their huge steel trucks into tanks.
The function of these two advance
artillery squads, according to French
military officials, would be to pre-
vent their opponents from building
barricades and clear the streets of
police and troops. 1t so happens
that the taxi drivers union, COM
posed of $4,000 members and the
STRENGTHENING uiion are both Com
munist unions.
After publishing this plan for
revolution, an imposing conference
took place under the auspices of the
government, in the offices of Cen
eral Gourand, military governor of
Paris. Military and police chiefs
participated in this conference. And
then counter-plan was published
providing for the defense of
the city; which, curiously enough,
was based upon the experiences of
the Paris Commune.
ACCORDING 10 military plan Il, the
French troops will not even bother
to defend the city should mass
revolution occur, but would i'm
mediately withdraw to Versailles
and entrench themselves there, just
as President Theirs did during the
Commune of Paris. The plan pro-
vides for two dozen military posts
throughout the city whose function
would be to combat smaller out
breaks, but they would withdraw as
soon as mass offensive were be-
gun. The whole counter-plan is
based on the supposition that the
revolutionary ranks would split once
they got possession of the city and
begin to exterminate each other.
Then would the government forces
from Versailles march VIGOROUSLY
into the city, says the plan.
The French government also sug-
gests as officers of Soviet France,

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Oct. 49,
The "Pravda," official organ of the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union, in an article today points out
the Importance of the LODI general
strike from the point of view of the
development of the class struggle
in Poland and the intern. abor
movement.
Stabilized capital strives vain
to stem the revolutionary tide, "
Pravda says. "The LODI strike was
caused by frightful working condi-
tions, such as from II to 16 working
hours per day, the discharge of ex-
pectant mothers, the inhuman and
despotic treatment of workers by the
employers, and the inquisitorial pen
atty system"
"The bourgeoisie is now alarmed
that one class has arisen against an
other. On one side there is the en-
thusiastic textile workers, on the
other side the textile barons and the
whole hierarchy of fascist violence
from the marshal to secret police
and the Polish socialist party with
the yellow nationalist trade union
functionaries. The Polish Commun-
lists are in a responsible position and
they must strengthen the positions
already won and extend the strug-
gle.
"The fight must be guided by the
political basis of solidarity strikes

letariat, and the exposure of the re-
formists. The LODI proletariat
