CRISIS IN fall
RIVER INDUSTRY

FALL RIVER, Mass, (By MaiD -
In no industrial center has the pres
ent industrial crisis been felt more
than in Fall River and Lawrence
Mass, the respective centers of the
cotton and wooden industry in New
England.
There are $4,000 workers unem-
ployed in Fall River today. And when
we remember that the average wages
paid are only seven dollars week.
we wonder how the workers will
manage to exist at all, when this pit
lance is cut off from them.
So far the situation has been
handled only by the poor relief de-
partment and around 1000 families
are receiving weekly relief to the
amount of from five to eight dollars.
The organized labor movement
must act in this situation and demand
state aid for the relief of the unem-
ployed The textile workers demand
justice and not charity. Only the A.
hour week and an equal distribution of
work can help them to gain this.

France, the Scheidemanns and Nos

Great Britain and Vanderveldes in
Belgium raise hue and cry about
the "Red MiIitarism" of the Soviet

Do not be bewildered by their bark!
The Soviet Union wants peace to car
ry on peaceful socialist constructive

will to peace and has frustrated the
war provocations of its opponents. But
the Russian proletariat is always
ready for defense, because it knows
that world capitalism will never get
reconciled to the existence of the

its struggle. Only armed to the teeth
can the proletariat defend the fruits
Of the revolution against the attacks

On the Tenth Anniversary of the

Ten years have passed since in the
middle of Civil War the Red Army
came into being in Russia,-the First
Army of the Proletarian World Revo-
luton. In few months the Russian
proletariat created a mass army
which in a prolonged struggle exact
ing enormous sacrifices defeated all
the enemies of the first workers state
the Russian generals and landlords,
as we'll as the forces of the cruel Eu-
ropean and American imperialism. In
spite of inadequate armament, starv-
alton and misery, the Red Army de-
feated the all-powerful enemy who
was armed the teeth, because it
knew that it was fighting for the
cause of the world proletariat.
Proud of Workers Army.
Today. the international revoluti-
onary proletariat is looking with
pride and confidence to the Red Army,
for it is a powerful weapon in the
defense of the Union of the Soviet

The French lawyer, NJ. Junker
whom Stefanov's family had sent tc

rested on his arrival in Rumania,
thrown into one of the dungeons of
the Siguranza and finally conducted
over the frontier as criminal. This
action was only possible as a result
of the support Of the French govern

The sentence on Stefanov and

who still have within them the least

WARSAW, March With the ma

9TH, the Pilsudski government has re-
newed its arrests of left wing lead
ers. The Workers and Peasants
Unity" list of candidates, which is
supported by the Communist Party,
however, has been confirmed by the
government electoral commission be-
cause of the tremendous indignation
which the annulment of the cleft So
cialist" and cleft peasant" lists
aroused.
Fearing left wing successes in the
election, the government has arrested
numerous worker and peasant cam
paign speakers. At Sosnowiece, a
Workers and Peasants Unity" meet
ing was broken up by the police At
Wilma the entire election committee
of the White Russian Communist
Party was arrested and one of the
leaders of the militant trade union
movement murdered.
In spite of the nationwide sup
preston Of worker and peasant meet
ings and the wholesale arrests, num-
erous demonstrations are being held
at the factory gates Of LODI, Wilma
Grodno, Warsaw and other industrial
centers.
The fears of the Pilsudski regime
are based in part on the results of
the recent municipal elections in War
saw, LODI and Grodno, where the
Communists made big gains.
