II SEAMEN DIE
IN RAGING GALE
Lifeboat Grew Lost in
Effort to Save Ship

FOLKSTONE, England, Nov. Is
U.H.-A lifeboat loaded with IT
men set out from the tiny fishing
village of Rye Harbor early today,
at the height of a fierce gale, to
aid the storm-battered steamer
Alice, and was lost with all hands.
To the village, the disaster far
overshadowed that Of the Vestris.
The lifeboat contained at least one
man from every family in the viii
lage.
Making even more bitter the
grief of the villagers was the fact
that the lifeboat's errand Of mercy
was futile. The crew of the Grip
pied Alice, Riga steamer, had
been removed to safety aboard the
Hamburg steamer Smyrna five min
utes before the lifeboat pushed out
into the stormy channel

DRESS WORKERS
PLAN BIG STRIKE
Thousands at Big Meet
Vote for Walkout


With a deternnination born out
of the knowledge that they have
nothing to lose anyhow, as the lead
Ell, Louis Hyman said, that wages
can hardly be slashed any further,
that union conditions in general can
scarcely be depressed any lower,
several thousands of workers in the
dress manufacturing industry last
night voted unanimously that pre-
parations be begun for a general
strike for better conditions and for
a union to safeguard them, after
they are won.
Old Cooper Union, at 8th st. and
4th Ave-, yesterday again resounded
to the enthusiastic cheers and ap-
plause of workers who came to the
realization that the only way to get
endurable working standards is to
wiring them out of their class enc
mics thru struggle. And that the
struggle must be directed against
all their enemies, both bosses and

BETRA YERS OF
Jersey SILK STRIKE

PATERSON, N. j., Nov. 15.-
While the officialdom of the Asso-
ciated Silk Workers Union brazenly
continue the terror against the left
wing, the constitutional strike com
mittee, which the officials are vain
ly trying to dissolve, is going ahead
with its functions and has issued a
statement defying the strikebreak-
ers and calling the workers to con-
tinue the struggle.
Threats of physical violence
against left wing leaders are al
ready materializing. The volunteer
worker who, by automobile, es-
corted home the left wing girl lead
ers, Gertrude Mueller, Sophie
Strechmen and Lena Chernenko,
found the tires on his car slashed
while it stood at their home. The
car that followed them had no op-
portunity to catch up since he drove
home over a circuitous route.
The statement was issued when
the reactionary controlled Joint
Board, which became badly fright
ened at the mass manifestations of
indignation by the membership,
called the left wing leaders to me
gotiations" and made fake proposals
for harmony" These fake pro-
posals were made last night when
large numbers of workers accom-
panied the real strike committee to
the union office and demonstrated
their demand before the officialdom
that no fake strike committee be
organized since the workers endorse
the committee where the left wing
has majority.
A committee of left wingers was
called before the Joint Board and
were asked to agree to three main
proposals made by the officials.
They are: that a new strike com
mittee of 25 members be consti-
tuted, that the left wing be repre-
sented by five members there; and
that no more membership meetings
be called. the final decision remain
ing with the right wing Joint Board.

HILFERS SELLS
OUT TIRE STRIKE
Rubber Workers Bitter
in Denouncing Faker

MILLTOWN, N. j., Nov. 49,
Harry Hilfers, American Federation
of Labor organizer for the state of
New Jersey, has completed his serv-
ices to the Michelin tire bosses. He
has smashed the strike of 1900
rubber workers and succeeded in be-
wildering and driving back into
servitude all those workers whom
Michelin did not desire to fire. As
a result of his betrayal of the walk
out, more than 100 strikers have
been discharged by Michelin, many
of them from the "secret process
room" and Department No. 6. Among
those discharged are many women
workers.
Hilfers' persistent preaching of
non-resistance to the bosses, his
fake negotiation proposals and fake
promises of what the strikers, under
his guidance, could obtain from the
Michelin bosses Tuesday caused the
first break in the line of men and
women strikers, who had doggedly
surrounded the factory every morn
ing and booed and Kissed the scabs.
The persuasive agents whom the
American Federation of Labor fax
ers planted thruout the crowds of
workers and who constantly spread
decentralization, urging return to
the shop, did the rest. When the
workers returned to the factory,
even the superintendent greeted
them with shout of surprise at
the cleverness Of Hilfers' job.
Not even the retraction of one
half of the wage cut, which Hilfers
deceitfully announced to fool the
men at the "strike meetings. in
South River, was secured for the
strikers by the Federation faker.
Hilfers has done his job so well
that the, Michelin Co. refuses to
take back workers on any basis but
the original wage cut. "Those who

Proposed labor laws, masking un-

clauses which control the workers

scheme.

RIVALS AROUSED
AT U. S. THREATS
European Jingoes Flay
Armament Program

LONDON, Nov. 15.-"The great
drama of American rivalry"
as it is designated editorially yes
terday in the Italian newspaper,
Tevere, has received tremendous
intensification from the Armistice
Day speech of President Coolidge
and the. open announcement of the
American governments intention to
build what battleships it will, when
it will.
Jingoes Aroused.
The profoundest resentment is
being expressed thruout the British
press and public opinion against the
American naval program, the Brit
ish armament agitators naturally
being the most vehement in point
ing out the peril which the Amer
lean program constitutes for Brit
ish naval power.
The rapidly sharpening differ
ences between the two powers on
the armament issue have been given
tremendous impetus by the Amer
lean statements of position and the
greatest amount of anti" "phobia"
has been unleashed since the period
of the war and pre-war.
The governments attitude is not
only resentful, even in it's official
silence, but thru the newspapers
and other publicity agencies, every
effort is being made to stir up
popular feeling against the Amer
lean armament proposals in the in
terests of increased British arma-
ment.
Will Build Cruisers.
Speaking yesterday, Lord Birken-
head declared that 1--WE cannot go
against the advice of our admiralty
and the opinion of our government
and surrender the right to build the
number of light cruisers which we
are advised are necessary to pro-
tect the empire"
Birkenhead further declared it is
his opinion that the British Labor
and Liberal Parties would do
the same if they were in the posi-
ton of the Baldwin government. II
am satisfied that, if Premier Bald
wins place were taken tomorrow
by Ramsay Macdonald or Mr.. Lloyd
George, neither of these two states
men would act against dhe advice of
the British admiralty as to the num-
Der of light cruisers necessary to
maintain the commerce of the en-
pire," he said.
Most of the denunciations point
out that the United States has been
as active in building up an empire
in the shorter time at it's disposal
as have the British.
Continent Denounces U. S.
Indignation against the American
armament policies is by no means
limited to the British press as ad-
vices from all over the continent
of Europe show. The French are
equally aroused at the American
decisions and the Italian press has
launched into campaign of fury
against the American Empire"
