WORKERS IN BIG
CENTERS RALLY
TO BACK PARTY
Organizers are Busy in
Campaign

Continued from Page One
Trachtenberg reported, leaving the
hegemony of the class struggle in
the hands of the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party.
Alexander Bail, district organizer
for all the New England states out
side of Connecticut, and Sidney
Bloomfield, campaign manager as
sured Comrade Trachtenberg that
Maine would be on the ballot, leav-
ing Vermont to the ex-bill collector
and strike-breaker Coolidge and the
renegade John Spargo, who is now
engaged in writing treatise on the
fauna and flora of the Granite state.
Comrade Trachtenberg reported
that on the eve of the textile strike
in New Bedford, there was no Com
munist organization there worth
speaking of, but now, due to the par
ticipation of the Party in the strug-
gle, there is strong Workers Com
munist) Party organization and a
healthy nucleus of the Young Work
ers (Conmunist) League.
Negroes Sign Petitions.
Trachtenberg learned that the Ne
gro workers in Connecticut, where
there are large Negro settlements
are most willing to sign the Com
munist petitions which shows that
those workers, who suffer from race
discrimination as we'll as industrial
exploitation are beginning to see a
way out, and are turning to the
Workers (Communist) Party as the
only Party that has program to
meet their problems as prosecuted
race and also as industrial wage
slaves.
Rhode Island Strong.
The New Bedford strike not only
raised the revolutionary spirit of the
workers in that great mill city but
the struggle has electrified the work
ers in all the New England states
particularly Rhode Island, another
great textile state. Though small II
area New England is an industrial
stronghold where the textile workers
in particular, in view of the chaos
in the industry and the wage-cuttins
drives of the textile barons are in
state of ferment unequalled since thu
great struggles in Lawrence ant
other cities seventeen years ago.

NEED AID TO GO
ON WITH STRIKE
Textile Union Appeals
to Workers

With a grim determination to
win, the 10000 textile strikers of
New Bedford enter the fifth month
of struggle against the mill barons
with as much enthusiasm and cour-
age as they had on April 16, when
the strike started.
Altho the forces aligned against
them are strong and powerful the
strikers, the biggest part accepting
the leadership of the Textile Mills
Committee, are putting up a fight
that is winning the admiration of
the entire American working class.
With several hundred workers ar
rested, many sentenced to terms in
prison ranging from a year and
half to one month, the fight is now
reaching the point where all can
see that it will be a long drawn
out struggle. Both the mill owners
and the strikers realize this and
are acting accordingly.
The workers of America must i'm
mediately rally to the support of
the strikers. They are willing, to
man the picket lines, but the entire
American working class must do its
share. Food is needed for the strik-
ers and their families. Needed in
larger quantities as the strike con-
tinues, more workers applying for
relief every day.
The striking textile workers of
New Bedford need help! Workers
come to their aid. Send contribu-
lions at once to the Workers Inter
national Relief, 40 William ST., New
Bedford Mass.

But Tammany Bars the
Communist Collection

Rebecca Grecht, District Campaign
Manager of the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party was found guilty of "dis-
orderly conduct tending to breach
of peace" at the First Magistrates
Court Of Long Island City yester-
day, in spite of evidence given at
the trial pointing to the guilt of the
fascists-none of whom were ar
rested-who broke up the open air
meeting of the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party on August 9 and assault
, ed the speakers, and in spite of
evidence showing that no police pro-
lection had been given the speakers.
Policeman Stewart Donnelly was
the first to testify. Donnelly sub
mitted that in the face of the COM
motion it was impossible to prevent
the assault on Abraham fairfield,
Communist candidate from the First
Assembly District of Queens, that he
had had no opportunity to appre-
bend those guilty of the assault;
that he had no chance to even in
quire the names and addresses of
members of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars who were standing in a men
acing circle around Harfield. DON
nelly testified, however, that he re-
manned standing there with Har-
field for a number of minutes, dur
ing which Harfield was still sub
jected to the attack of the members
of the lingo organization.

At the close Of Donnelly's testi-
mony, after many glaring discrep-
ancies and what amounted to an ad-
mission of aid to the assault had
been wrung out of him by Jacques
Buitenkant, representing the Inter
national Labor Defense, a righteous
citizen walked up to the bench and
asked permission to testify, having
been present at the meeting in ques-
ton. He gave his name as Alfred
Heller, and proceeded to denounce
the "inflammatory remarks" of Re-
becca Grecht in vicious manner.
Under examination, Heller,
who said he was motiyated purely
by his duties as citizen in yolun-
teering his testimony, admitted he
was member of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, but maintained that
as such he is not prejudiced against

VALLEY Frost
SAID POSSIBLE
Upper Section May Be
Nipped Tonight If
Skies Clear

A possibility Of frost in the up
per end Of the Valley in the event
that skies clear off tonight, was
seen in the u. S. weather bureau
forecast issued here today by Met
eorologist W. j. Schnurbusch.
Should the clouds remain over the
Valley. however. there will be little
or no change in temperature.
An unusual condition in a low
pressure area over or just south Of
the Valley. a high pressure area
over the Rockies. and freezing wea-
Their over the upper portion of Tex
as. guided S~chnurbusch in his warn
ing TO the upper Valley. The low
pressure area over the Valley will
bring in north and rorthwcstcrly
winds which will draw the cold wea-
thcr from other parts Of Texas.
IL is ono Of those conditions that
Valley old-timers always fear-a
west wind with clear skies.
"The forecast read: Probably fair
tonight and colder with lowest tenn
perature &c to a degrees and pos
sibly frost in upper Valley IL clear;
Thursday fair and colder"
Freezing weather for almost all
OF Texas was predicted BY the New
Orleans weather bureau.
