Belgian Textile Workers
Continue 5 Month Strike

Halluin, Belgium, Feb. 25.-The
10000 textile workers of Halluin, in
West Flanders, who have been on
strike for the last five months, re-
sisting attacks of gendarmes and
the national guard are continuing
their struggle and bearing out glori-
ously the title of "Red- Halluin."
A state of siege exists around
Halluin, with the mounted gend-
armes patroling the district. But
nothing stops the strikers. The wo-
men, men and children Justify sing
the International" and the "Song
of Ten-Sous," popular textile work
ers song, at their picket demonstra-
lions and at their meetings.
The French workers, especially the
textile workers across the border, at
Lille and Tourcoing, are demonstrate
ing true working class solidarity
by sending relief to the strikers.
Destailleurs, secretary of the Labor
Council of Confines Werwicq, one of
the strike-leaders, was recently de-
ported by the Belgium government
with the aid of the French gend-
armes. Two thousand strikers ac-
companied him to the border and
gave him a grand send-off in spite
of heavy rain.
The Natir nal guard IS used to
protect scabs and escort them to
and from work. III spite of the
threatening bayonets the strikers
call upon the scabs in Flemish to
join the strikers ranks. The officer
in charge of the guard threaten the
strikers and then orders his men to
charge them-but to no avail. The
strikers reform their ranks and con-
tinue their picketing.

Just as at the other huge demon
strations on each of the other two
Mondays since the strike started, the
neighborhood was swamped with po-
lice, plainclothes men, special police
sluggers known as industrial squad"
and Strong arm squad" Today,
however, a special large force of
"truant officers" was called out to
"take care" of the strikers children
who have been coming out to picket
with their parents.
At the demonstrations hitherto
held, their activities in singing strike
songs plagued the police, who re-
fused to arrest them for fear of
arousing too much public indigna-
ton. For arrests of children are
more readily printed in the capitalist
press than the smuggling of striking
adults. The Young Pioneers OF
America, a Communist organization
led the children in their picketing
activities.
The thousands of strikers are
greatly incensed at the police eff
forts to break their strike by the
numerous arrests, which have
reached the astounding figure OF
about 1900 in the almost three
weeks of strike.
In an effort to call halt to this
terrorism, strike headquarters yes
terday announced that demonstra-
ton of the dress strikers will be
held tomorrow afternoon, who will
march to City Hall to demand Of
Mayor Walker in a statement the
immediate restoration of the work
ers' right to picket.
Working members of the Dress
makers Division Of the N. I. w. l
U. held a membership meeting last
night in Webster Hall, and made
official protest against police inter

CANAL MEASURE
FOR WAR ROUTE
$3.50, 900 Bill for Survey
Goes to House

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (UP).--
Without a record vote the senate to-
day passed and sent to the House
the Edge resolution proposing $780,
900 for a survey of an inter-oceanic
canal across Nicaragua. The army
engineers would conduct the survey.
The survey of a canal route over
Nicaragua is the first step to the
construction of sea level substitute
for the Panama canal, which Ameri-
can Imperialism fears will be in
adequate in real struggle with a
first class naval power.
The conflict approaching between
England ard U. S. for the right to
make slave pen of South and Gen.
trail America is considered here the
real reason back of the conquest of
Nicaragua from which the senate
Saturday ref used to withdraw
marines, even going to the unusual
procedure of reversing its vote in
order to make it certain that Ameri-
can armed forces remained in the
subjugated country.
General Augustine SANDING, COM
mander of the Nicaraguan army of
independence, has consistently
charged that his country is being
enslaved by U. S. Imperialism, partly
for the purpose of using it as a
canal route. He fights under the
slogan: 'No canal; throw out the
Yankees"

BY HARRISON GEORGE

1t is natural that the Latin Amer
lean workers residing in the United
States, should be interested in the
success of the war for independence
waged by General Sandino's troops
against the U. S. Marines in Mica
ragua. But American workers who
think that chat Nicaraguan trouble"
is a long way off and has no con-
nection with them, are entirely mis-
taken. The rifles of SANDING are
speaking in the interests not only of
Nicaraguan independence, but in the
interest of every worker in the
United States itself.
How does "Wall Street." that
vaguely pictured entity of oppres-
sion of the poor by the rich, carry
on its war against SANDING? And
why?
How 1t Works
BY forcing workers right here in
the United States to work long hours
at low wages, Wall street, which
draws in from all industry both big
and little. profits from the workers
in the United States, accumulates
capital to invest in Nicaragua and
other Latin American countries. Wall
street, right here in 2ew York, COM
pels American workers to speed up
and cuts their wages to the bone,
in order to make commodities
cheaper than the British can make
them, so better to compete against
British Imperialism in Latin Ameri-
can markets.
Have not the American workers,
therefore, a very lively interest, in
therefore, very lively interest in
and peasants drive Wall street
agents, and U. S. Marines, from
Nicaragua and other countries which
American capitalists are trying to
make into Yankee colonies? Most

YIPSELS PLAN
STRIkEDREAKING
Committee Will Assist
Yellow Scab Unions

The closing session of the Young
Peoples Socialist League demon
strated thoroughly that it's charac-
ter is completely one of strikebreak-
ing in the interests of the capital
ist class, which furnishes the organ
ization its membership.
Frank Manning, who aided the A.
F. of L. and the American Fedora
ton of Textile Operatives to break
the strike of the textile workers of
New Bedford, urged the formation
of a special body of the league to
break future strikes under the pre-
tension Of ''helping" the strikers.
In response to this, committee was
elected to help the A. F. of L. and
other yellow scab unions to break
strikes led by the Trade Union Edu-
cational League.
The convention, to make this gen.
orally concrete, condemned the
strike, of the needle trades workers,
by resolution, and asserted it's sup
port of the scab union Of the A. F.
of L. Schlessinger gang.
The league was urged by August
Claessens to 'make contracts with
the excellent young fellows from the
Union Theological Seminary" ''They
are fine material" Claessens added
The league is, of course, peoples"
league and not a workers league,
and not being a working class or
ganization is actively against the
workers, as the strikebreaking pro
gram fully proves.

TO SUPPORT SANDING
Fight Imperialism Right Here, at Home

decidedly, American workers must
not only be interested but must join
forces with the Latin American
workers, with the "Sandinistas," the
exploited of both Americas must
unite against their common foe
Wall street and its government,
against United States Imperialism.
What to Do.
Throughout the United States,
there are something like 100000
workers from Latin America, mostly
Mexicans. They do the hardest and
worst paid labor and it is one of
the most necessary tasks of any
American worker who calls himself
a revolutionist, to reach these work
ers with the message of Communism
in their own language. In practical
terms, every American worker who
finds Mexican or other Latin Amer
lean workers in his shop or neighbor-
hood, should order a bundle of the
monthly paper in Spanish, issued by
the Workers (Communist) Party,
LA Vida Obrera" workers Life) [,
and distribute it among them. Get
subscriptions at only SO cents a year.
Get bundles, big bundle for only
dollar, and rut them in the hands
of Latin American workers here.
In New York City, make your
help concrete not only in this way,
but in another, and rather enjoyable
way; which is, help the "Vida OBJ
rera" by attending and getting
others to attend, the "Sandino
Dance" which will be held on March
16, at the Lexington Hall, 100 East
116th street, Harlem. Tickets are
rs cents, and may be had at the
Workers Center Bookshop, 26 Union
Square; at the Spanish Workers
Center, IS West 18th street, and at
the office Of the Negro Champion.

TO START MASS
DRIVE ON ANTI
LABOR MEASURE
l. L. D. Bazaar March
6-10 to Furnish Funds

A mass movement is being launch
ed by the New York District IF the
international Labor Defense 70 rally
the workers of New York and vicin-
ity in a fight against the new alien
deportation bill which has already
passed the house of representatives.
In statement issued last night by
Rose Baron, secretary, the l. J.. D.
declares:
"The new alien deportation bill
passed by the house of representa-
tives constitutes one of the most seri-
Gus attacks against the militant
working class ever undertaken on a
national scale. This bill, which os-
tensibly is directed against Grimm
ais, is actually levelled against all
militants of foreign birth. The boot
leggers and drug and white slave
trafficers who are supposed to be
liable to deportation under the term
of the bill will escape as they have
done in the past. The only Grimm
ais who will be prosecuted will be
workers found guilty of fighting for
their class.
This is the true aim of the new
alien deportation bill, a concealed
fascist measure, designed to terror
ize the many class-eonscious work
ers of foreign birth in this country
and to deport those who refuse to
des.st from militant activity. Most
workers have thus far failed to real
ize the grave implications Of this
bill. The New York District of the
International Labor Defense warns
against this attitude of passivity
and is starting mass movement to
prevent this vicious anti-labor meas
ure from being enacted into law.
For this purpose we are planning to
call conference of working class
organizations which will mobilize
the widest sections of the working
class for this campaign. All class
conscious workers and workers or
CARNATIONS must rally at once be-
hind this mass movement"
The New York District of the In
ternational Labor Defense also an
nounces that a large part of the
funds for this campaign will be pro-
vided by its big annual bazaar, to
be held March 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 in New
Star Casino, 10th St. and Park Ave,
The |. L. D. points out that 100 pei
cent support Of this bazaar is abso-
: lutesy necessary for the success Of

tention given PREPARATIONS and the
governments attempts to form a
new coalition, despite official denials
that such a treaty exists.
The front pages OF virtually all
newspapers We're devoted to publica-
ton of the alleged treaty, which is
asserted to have been directed
against Germany, Holland, Spain and
Italy. Newspaper comment was
divided, but only the Liberal news
paper Tempo Vissiche voiced doubt
of the genuineness of the published
pact.
The alleged treaty purported to
be a pledge of mutual military as
sistance between France and Bel
GUM in case of war on the frontiers
of either country.
1t generally was declared that
French denials of the treaty were
immaterial. Official quarters were
reticent about discussing the pact.

military treaty today, declaring that
the accord, concluded in 1920, was an
agreement between the general
