WARSAW, Oct. 14.-All workers
in the city of LODI will strike to-
morrow in sympathy with more than
100000 textile workers who have
already walked out in their strug-
gle against recent wage slashes and
the attempts to increase speed-up.
Government officials fear that the
strike may take on nationwide pro-
portions.
The order for a general walkout
in Lodz tomorrow was issued by the
Central Labor Council at it's meet
ing yesterday. The order was is
sued as the result of the demand of
workers engaged in virtually all of
the industries in the city.
That the strike may take on a
political complexion and form into
huge labor demonstration against
the Pilsudski regime, is fear
widely expressed in semi-official
circles. The huge gains made by the
Communist Party in Lodz and other
industrial centers in the recent ma
tional elections have clearly indi

in the closet wondering hcw soon he
would notice the new house slippers.
Sure enough! well, well, what's

picked th@ slippers up and looked them
over, but he made no move toward
putting them on. ''Where'd you get

New Warning of Losses

CHICAGO, october 23.-BoI1bs burst
ing in air-as many as seven in single
night-continue to give proof here that
maybe the Employers Association OF
Chicago is right when it tells the city
that local "rackets" are seriously in
Turing many lines of business.
Chicago's pineapple Syndicate" en-
gagged In blowing up any place specified
providing the terms are right, never in
the palmieSt days of political trouble
enjoyed such prosperity as at present
1t is blasting its way into increasing
prominence, and apparently with COM
plete immunity.
There have been more than so bomb
ings within the past three months. SO
of them attributed to "rackets."- On
one recent evening, when four dyna-
mite pineapples exploded simultaneous
ly in different parts of the city, the
: event caused scarcely a ripple of in
terest.
New Warnings Sounded.
But is has brought the local EN-
ployers' Association to sound new warn
1ngS. This organization tells the city
that 10 more years of racketing ac-
tivity and 1t can expect an annual
loss in trade Of $100,000,o0o.
Already the loss in business directly
due to racketeering runs into millions
OF dollars each year." the association
says. 1--WE have had 80 bombingS here
so far this year. and so In the last three
months. The ominous thing is that
nearly every one has been hurled at
organized business.
Last year the bombings were against
bootleg outfits. But just as the bootleg
racket spread to legitimate business, so
have the methods with the result that
restaurants, stores. florist shops, fac
tories, apartment houses, newspaper
plants, garages, theaterS and private
residences have been bombed. It Is
only a step now to the bombing of
banks, skyscrapers and even police sta
tions"
The association lists 80 rackets, which
flourish in Chicago in various guiSeS.
This business of organizing various
lines of endeavor, in order to reap the
rewards available in membership dues,
is so profitable that the Chicago ex-
perience may easily be followed in
other cities.
Political Protection.
1.-THE racket as 1t now operates against
business in Chicago is made up of three
elements, the INSCRIPTIONS union lead
ers, the trickster business man and the
crooked politician" the association adj
viSes. '"They are a strong alliance,
with politics protecting the crime"
But few steps have been taken by law
enforcing agencies here to check the
growing practice of racketeering. In
the campaign now going on for the
Office of States attorney, however, both
candidates are falling over each other
in promises to clean up the situation
II elected.
It is significant that with nearly 200
bombings in the last three or four years.
no one ever has been arrested or prose-
cuted for the actual bombing job. The
pineapple business has developed into
one Of the safe and very profitable
local industries.
