Beware Of Premature
Strike, Is Warning
(By a Worter Correspondent

MANCHESTER, N. H, (By MaiD.
-The~Textile Committee form of or
ganzation is the only agency by
Which the textile workers can hope to
better their conditions. The develop
ment Of these Committees depends
WIDELY upon the progressive ele-
ments within the industry.
Spring Up Everywhere.
These Committees which are
springing up like mushrooms in the
textile cities and towns of New Eng
land, must be the basis of all ac-
tivity. Progressive workers in each
mill in every town and city must build
committee.
For further strength these Com
mittees mus link themselves into a
mighty chain. In this way when an
open conflict with the bosses comes,
the workers in the many different
sections will be able to close their
ranks and carry on the struggle in
harmonious manner.
This open conflict is fast approach
ing. In Fall River the reactionary
nisleaders of the United Textile
Workers Union and the American
Federation of Textile Operatives have
So far kept the workers from revolt
ing against the recent wage cut Of
10 per cent.
Against Premature Strikes.
We must not underestimate the
eleyerness of the bosses. When these
mill Committees Of the workers be-
gin to function mihtantly they, the
bosses, will undoubtedly try to create
a situation where the Mill Commit
tees will feel bound to act. So we
must be on guard against premature
strikes.
On the other hand, when a commit
tee becomes strong enough, it should
take the bull by the horns and go on
an offensive strike. Most strikes
which have taken place in the in
dustry to date have been offensive
strikes so far as the workers are con-
cerned.
When the bosses cut wages,
lengthen hours or undertake any
ether kind of dirty work against
the worker, the boss is on the Of
fensiye. He is prepared to give
battle. He has his stoOl-pigeons
in place. The police are always at
his command. He knows the proper
time to call in the state department
of labor. the mayor, the judge to
issue injunctions and other strike
breaking elements. In other words
he knows his onions.
Well, it's time now that the work
ers showed the bosses that they know
their potatoes and that from now on
they viii resist the Entertainments of
the bosses upon their lives.
To get back what they lost in the
past five years ago, the workers must
go on the offensive and to accomplish
this a national conference Of all tex
tile workers organizations is ex-
pected to be called for the first week
in June.
Build the Textile Mills Commit
tee! Hold huge national confer
ence of textile workers organiza-
tons in three months! For a Ma
tional offensive strike.

 In Tennessee the death penalty was made illegal in 1915 but was brought back m 1918. Washington and Oregon abolished it in 1913 and restored it in 1920. Arizona and Missouri, which also did away with it in 1913. placed t in the statutes again as the extreme penalty in 1918 and 1919 respectively.
 The League to Abolish Capita.

No state has re- stored it in the three years, but neither have more states done away with it.

 No European country has done away with both titles and decora- tiona. Several of the most demo- cratic are considering bringing decorations back to their pre-war status.
 Among the new republic Fin land. Poland, Checko- Slovakia, Esthonia and Latvia have intro- duced the system of decorations. Italy under Mussolini has until re- gently been lavish in tho use or decorations at home and abroad.
 Germany. largest republic in Eu- rope west of Russia, has no decora- ton proper except the Red Cross. but in diplomatic circles it IS said that the old system will be rein- troduced in the not distant future.

One of his tires having gone fiat
because Of a puncture, John Dale got
out of his car after parking it on the
right side Of the road.
He proceeded to jack up his car and
take off the damaged tire. While bend
ing over his work Dale was suddenly
struck from behind by large moving
van and he was seriously injured.
After his recovery Dale brought suit
against the express company that
owned the van. The express company
contested Dale's suit. defending them
selves on the ground of contributory
negligence, contending that Dale had
been negligent in stopping his car on
busy highway and in bending over
his work. and also in that he had not
kept lookout for approaching ma

The court overruled the defense and
permitted Dale to recover a verdict.
stating
While it was his duty to take proper
precaution for his safety, We cannot
say he was negligent merely because
OF his failure to continue to look for
possible danger when the nature Of his
work required attention in the opposite
direction. He was not bound to antici-
