RUHR LOCKOUT is
BECOMING ACUTE.
ATTACK WORKERS
Thaelmann Speaks to
Workers

BERLIN, Nov 1.-THE situation
in the Ruhr lockout Of $4,000 metal
workers which is involving greater
numbers daily in closing OF mines,
e.. is growing most acute. The
authorities are attacking the locked
out workers osenly, stopping their
meetings and surrounding them with
police.
At Essen a meeting was held at
which Thaelmann spoke for the
Communist Party. One hundred
heavily armed police attended in an
attempt to overawe the workers.
Thaelmann outlined a fighting pro-
gram for the locked out workers,
and a strike committee composed Of
both organized and unorganized
workers was elected.
The yellow socialist trade union
officials are working feverishly to
smother the struggle, but the fight
ing spirit is growing.
Berlin papers report that further
attempts are being made by the gov
eminent to mediate, and suggest
that the working hours and not the
wage scales be the basis of nego-
tiations.

POLICE BRUTALITY
J ATTACK GROUP;1
YOUTH ARRESTED
10000 Anti-War Bills
Distributed

With banners and placards held
aloft, 200 members of the Young
Workers (Comnfunistl League
paraded up to Union Square Satur-
day afternoon in an Armistice Day
demonstration against imperialist
war and in a counter-demonstrat
against socialist-pacifist demon
stration. They continued their
demonstration for several hours
shouting slogans, singing and bear
ing their placards and banners
aloft in the face of continued perse-
cution by police, until Joseph Bru-
stein, 19-year-old member of the
Young Workers (Communist)
League was arrested at the instiga-
ton of the socialist group.
Earlier on the afternoon, miser-
able contingent of 81 pacifists, So
cialists and "Yipsels" had marched
up Broadway, lost in the midday
traffic and lunch-hour crowds.
When they reached Union Square,
they set up their platform and be-
gan to harangue a few casual and
disinterested passers-by with their
pacifist exhortations.
Young Communists Arrive.
1t was then that the young Com
munists came along. Carrying in
their hands banners inscribed with
Fight Wall Street Imperialism" !;
"Only the Overthrow of Capitalism
Will Do Away with WARP; "Join
the Young Workers (Communist)
League!"; Join the Workers (Com-
munist) Party!" "Pacifism is a
Smoke Screen Fight Imperial
ism!"; Defend the Soviet Union!";
and Fight Capitalist Militarism !";;
they swooped down on Union Square
in body.
Five times the young workers
tried to start an open-air anti-war
rally on the square, but each time
the police, tipped off in advance by
the yellow socialist crowd, attacked
the meeting and dragged down the
speakers. Each time that the Com
munist group was broken up by the
police, the 200 young workers formed
themselves into a mass again, and
continued to cheer and sing revolu-
tionary songs.
Youth Demand Stand.
When members of the Young

Workers (Communist) League de-
manded that they be given the right
to speak from the platform of the
pacifists who were protected by the
police, they were refused.
The pacifist speakers pointed out
Communists in the audience, which
by this time had been swelled to
many hundreds after the arrival of
the young workers, and demanded
that they be elected from the crowd.
The young peoples socialist league,
which was taking part in the paci-
fist meeting, took great pains to CO.
operate with the police.
Arrest Young Worker.
Joseph Brustein, a member of the
Young Workers (Communist)
League, was arrested by the police
at the request of the "pacifists"
when he demanded the right to
present to the crowd the position of
the Workers (Communist) Party on
the war danger.
After the demonstration, during
which the police had repeatedly at
tackled the young workers and chill
Ydren belonging to the Young
Pioneers, confiscating and destroy
ing their banners, the Communist
group marched en- masse to the
Workers Center.
During the demonstration, over
10000 leaflets issued by the Work
ers (Communist) Party and attack
ing imperialist war and presenting
the demands of the Workers Party
were distributed among the workers
on the Square.

By CHARLES MITCHELL.

The BELT SYSTEM" which is quite
in vogue in many of the Ford plants,
has already been introduced in one
department Of the Winchester Re-
peating Arms Ammunition factory
in New Haven, Connecticut.
The Winchester is the biggest
ammunition plant in the world. 1t
covers 25 city blocks. In normal"
times it employs from 10000 to
$4,000 workers but has capacity for
the employment of from $4,000 to
10000 in time of war
The feverish preparation for the
coming imperialist war and an at
tack on the Soviet Union on the
part of the United States imperial
lists is undoubtedly one Of the main
causes for a more thorough ration
alization process in the production
CT war material; hence the introduc-
ton of the belt or "conveyor" sys-
tenn, which is the most deadly
speed-up system of production in the
world.
In One Department.
The belt system has made its ap-
pearance in only one department so
far, the battery department. This
department takes in three large
rooms and includes seven processes
of production. The introduction Of
the belt in this department is an
attempt to further raise the level
Of productivity and, if successful in
that department, which will most
certainly prove very profitable for
the war mongers, it will be put into
operation wherever else possible.
By this, the Winchester bosses are
preparing to meet the huge orders
of shells and ammunition which will
come with the declaration of the
next war, which is not very far off.
The open-shoppers of the entire
state are watching very closely the
results of the belt system in the
Winchester. II it succeeds, which
it undoubtedly will, an attempt will
be made to install it by all other
employers In the huge factories and
shops in the entire state. You can
rest assured that if this new sys-
tenn of speed-up shows the slightest
superiority over the already most
perfect slave-driving system Of ra-
tionalization, its general use will
spring up like mushrooms every
where!
How It Works.
1t is an enormous belt, two feet
from the ground, flat, running
through several rooms in a given
department. 1t links up the various
processes Of production from start
to finish. The belt moves slowly
on. The workers are lined up along
side of it. each working on smell
part of the product, which passes BY
them on the moving belt.
At the initial end Of the belt only
a few parts are put together and
set in motion. Each worker that it
passes adds to it small part and
by the time It reaches the end Of
~ belt It grows" to I finished

Irish Republicans
Resent Celebration
of British Victory

DUBLIN, Ireland, Nov. 1.-THE
Irish who like demonstrations annoy
ing to the Free State government
trucking to the British, stirred up
some attention here today when four
bombs exploded at dawn at the bases
Of e statues of King William III
and King George II.
While little damage resulted, it
was widely believed that those who
want real Irish independence placed
the bombs as protest against the
celebrations of Armistice Day be-
cause such celebrations inferred a
kinship with England.

election watchers permitted Is Com
munist votes to be reported.
The socialists received similar
treatment at the hands of the boss
election counters. In the 4th Ward
some active social list voters cast
their ballots but the total of their
efforts was a report of no socialist
votes. At least dozen Communist
members have reported that they
cast their ballot for Foster and Git
low in this ward but the result of
their voting was also not recorded
in the total.
On a conservative estimate four
or five hundred Communist votes
we're probably stolen in Trenton.

Miners For Red Candidates.

Partial returns from Yukon,
Westmoreland County, Pennsyl-
vania, indicate that hte Communists
secured 26 votes here as against II
for the socialists. Partial returns
from Mercer County show AZ votes
for the Communists and 81 for the
socialists. Further reports from
Westmoreland County show that in
president the Communist vote was
127. Incomplete returns from Vir-
ginia show Portsmouth, Commu-
nists %, socialists 8; Virginia Beach
Communists IL, socialists 0; Nor
folk, Communists 8, socialists 6.
Among the reasons why the Com
munist election returns are so slow
in coming in may be quoted the fol-
lowing excerpts from letters of var
ious boss-party officials who have
charge of reporting election re-
turns:
The secretary of state of Mon
tana: 81 am unable to give you the
election returns for the Workers
(Communist) Party until the Can
vassing Board meets in my office
on Dec. next"
Same Story.
A letter from the secretary of
state of Florida says in part: "a
tabulation of the votes cast at the
general election showing the infor-
nation you desire will be forwarded
to you after the election returns are
canvassed, tabulated and printed"
From Colorado: g. it will be
impossible to give you a complete
