The members of the Party in
those two states worked hard
to add Massachusetts and New
Hampshire to the nineteen
states already in the red
column. They are determined
that Rhode Island will be the
next state in New England to
go over the stop.
Strike Centers Respond.
Despite numerous difficulties such
as holding up certification of sigma
lures by some city election author
tiles and flat refusal to certify sig
natures as in Peabody, we finally
succeeded in filing with the state
election authorities 1900 certified
signatures or 500 more than actually
needed to place the Party on the
ballot. The most important fact in
the collection of signatures was the
enthusiastic support received by the
Party in New Bedford and Fall
River where our Party has been
leading thousands of textile work
ers in struggle against the mill
barons.
Defeat Terror Move.
In New Hampshire, the Party

secretary of state. There, as well
as in Massachusetts, we encountered
difficulties, the election inspector in
Manchester being employment
director of the Amoskeag Mills and
that corporations senator in the
state house at Concord.
While collecting signatures on the
streets of Manchester, Comrade
Sidney Bloomfield, New England
Campaign Manager for the Workers
(Communist) Party, was arrested
and ordered to get out of the city.
This terrorism, however, only had
the effect of making our comrades
work harder to accomplish the task
of getting the Party on the ballot
in this great industrial state.
In addition to placing the national
ticket on the ballot in New Hamp-
shire, the Party is running comrades
Henry G. Tram for governor and
Fred B. Chase for senator. Both
are veterans in the class struggle.
Chase being at one time state secre-
tary of the socialist party of Massa-
chusetts.
The fact that the Party is on the
ballot in Massachusetts is of great
significance. In the state where
Sacco and Vanzetti were murdered,
our Party comes forward with an
indictment of the whole frame-up
system of exploitation. In the state

DELAY HEARING IN
SCHIFFRIN'S CASE
Hold Big Defense Meet
in Bronx

Hearings in the case of William
Schiffrin, the left wing worker who
is being held on a charge of homi-
eide for defending his life against
the onslaught of a knife-wielding
squad" sent to attack him by of
ficials of the Butchers Union, and
which resulted in the death of the
squad" leader, were postponed by
Judge Smith in the Homicide Court
and Magistrate Dodge in the 161st
Court, until September 81.
At the same time two left wing
ers and three right wingers now
out on $1,000 bail had their hear
ings postponed until the same date.
Hundreds of the rank and file Of
the Butchers Union and worke-
from many other trades attended
mass meeting held last night by
the William Schiffrin Defense Com
mittee in the large auditorium of
the Workers Cooperative of the
Bronx, 2700 Bronx Park, East. The
greatest indignation was manifested
by the assembled workers last night
at the two years campaign of the
Socialist" Forward and it's right
wing officialdom in the Jewish
unions, in the organized campaign
of bloodshed they were conducting
against the left wing workers.
A resolution unanimously passed
at the end of the meeting voiced this
protest and condemned the reac-
tionary heads of the Butchers
Union for sending squads armed
with knives to assault those who dis
agreed with their reactionary poll
cies and which resulted in the death
of Harry Silver, right wing hire
ling who was leading five more to
cut up Schiffrin.
The case grew out of a recent
adopted policy of the United Hebrew

TYPOGRAPHICAL
OFFICIALS KILL
4O-HOUR WEEK
Annual Meet Defeats
3 Militant Proposals

CHARLESTOWN, S. c., Sept. Ia.
Working fast in order to crush
all opposition, the annual conven-
tion of the International Typo
graphical Union, packed with hand
picked TRUSTEES of the Morrison
Howard machine, defeated by large
majorities three progressive resolu-
tions which would have given a
fighting edge to the unions policy.
A resolution introduced by the
New York delegation, which in
cludes number of well-known
militants, calling for a 4O-hour
week, was overwhelmingly voted
down. The I. T. U. bureaucracy
thus went on record against any
Tightening of the toll of the thou
sands of printers which would at
the same time have gone long way
towards remedying the widespread
unemployment that exists in the in
dustry.
The machine also squashed a
proposal to permit local unions to
call strike without the approval
of the Executive Council. The con-
vention further hogtied the rank and
file by defeating. resolution to per-
init local unions to strike without
first notifying the international
president when a boss refuses to ar

ordered the VandalS to stop.
The raid was conducted by
postal inspectors and the local
federal marshall, who descend
ed on the headquarters of the
srelief body at Gil Penn Ave
anue displaying an obviously
y shadowy subpoena which con-
tanned no specific charges for
the drive. The subpoena was os-
tensibly issued by federal grand
jury although its authority to do so
has been thrown in doubt. Later it
was found that the jury had dis
solved without following up its pro-
cedure.
Requested By Lewis.
The raid, it was learned, was con-
Quoted at the request and with the
cooperation of John L. Lewis, arch
wrecker of the miners union, who
had sent letter to the local post
office inspectors. The letter was
shown to Alfred Wagenknecht, di-
rector of the National Miners Re-
lief Committee, about two months
ago. No action was taken at the
time by the federal officials.
Inspectors Brown and Craighead
appeared at the headquarters of the
\ organization and demanded that
Wagenknecht turn over all records
to them. When Wagenknecht re-
fused, on the grounds that the move
was frame-up against the sending
of relief to the starving miners, and
that the names were intended to be
used as a blacklist by the coal op-
orators and the Lewis gang, two
plainclothes troopers from Green
burg took possession of the office.
Rig Up Order.
This morning a subpoena was
hurriedly rushed through the grand
jury ordering the turning over Of all
lists, records and data to the fed
eral officers. The inspectors ap-
peared on the scene with a truck
and armed guard and proceeded to
ransack the entire premises, packed
up all papers, scattered records over
the floor, intimidated the staff with
the use of profane language and
otherwise continued it's vicious tao
tics.
Everything was dumped in great
disorder into mail bags before the
order from the district attorney to
cease the raid was obeyed by the
officers. Previously they had disre-
garded a telephone message from
J the relief committees attorney,
Henry Ellenbogen, reporting that
Federal Judge Schoonmaker had
cancelled the subpoena.
