GASTONIA, May Mass evic-
ton of the striking workers of the
Loray mill of the Manville- -Jenckes
Co. has been started by the mill
owners in an attempt to break the
strike and drive the workers back
to the mill. Many were already
thrown on the streets last night.
Armed deputies are entering the
homes of the strikers and throwing
their furniture into the roads. They
are smashing the dishes, and break
ing up the beds, tables and chairs.
The real estate corporation, ap-
parently part of the Manville-
Jenckes Company, is preparing for
mass evictions. 1t was announced
that wholesale evictions of those
who live in the company houses will
take place today.
An appeal for tents to hose the
workers was issued today by Bertha
Crawford, chairman of Gastonia To-
cal of the Workers International
Relief and Jessie Lynch, chairman
of the Housing Committee.

statement, otherwise the Manville-

the strikers out of town or back to

very serious and demands imme-

LOCAL 43

Allowed to Enter Hall
as Visitors.

Under great pressure from the
rank and file the national convention
of the Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery
Workers international Union, in
session at Beethoven Hall, yester-
day voted to admit the 10 delegates
of Local 43, as visitors. The ex-
PEELED members from Chicago and
Boston, however, were barred, at
the insistence, of the Zaritsky ma
chine. Similar treatment was meted
out to the rank and file members of
local 43, who wanted to visit the
convention.
The report of the credentials
committee stated that since the
question of Local 43 would have to
be discussed by the convention, the
members of the local would be con-
sidered expelled from the union
until other action is taken. The re-
port of the credentials committee
was accepted by AZ to IL.

The great mass May Day
demonstration of more than
10000 at the New York Coli
scum Wednesday afternoon and
evening was one of the most
enthusiastic and militant dem
onstrations the workers of this city
have ever held.
The massed thousands, who had
participated in the great parade
earlier in the afternoon, listened to
speakers representing the Commu-
mist Party, the Young Workers
(Communist) League, the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, the new left
wing needle, miners, textile and shoe
unions, a South Carolina textile
striker, and an excellent musical,
dance and sports program.
Militant Speakers.
Ben Lifshitz, acting New York
district organizer of the Communist
Party, opened the huge meeting with
a brief Introductory address and
then introduced the permanent
chairman, John Ballam, acting ma
tional secretary of the Trade Union
Educational League.
Robert Minor, acting executive
secretary of the Party, spoke in the
name of the Party, following him,
the Freiheit Gesangs Verein sang
some splendid songs, and then
Harold Williams, head of the Negro
department of the New York district
of the Party, spoke, and James
Phillips, basso, sang number of
songs, which were received with
acclaim.
Kermit Harden spoke for the
Southern textile strikers, followed
by Juliet Stewart Poyntz, for the
International Labor Defense; Fred
Biedenkapp, for the Independent
Shoe Workers Union; Louis Hyman
for the Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union; Moissaye Olgin,
editor of the Freiheit, and Pat Too
hey of the National Miners Union.
The Dixie Negro Choir sang a
number of spirituals, the Dance
Guild danced two revolutionary
numbers and the Labor Sports
Union did some gymnastics.
Minor Speaks for c. P.
Robert Minor, speaking for the
Communist Party, reviewed the
present third period" since the
world war, which is marked by the
elevation of the level of production
over the pre-war level of capitalist
development, with the increasing in
tensity of it's contradictions and the
decay of stabilization and at the
same time the growth of Socialist
forces in the Soviet Union. He spoke
of capitalist naturalization and the
wave of rehabilitation and of strug-
gle against the increased exploita-
ton evidenced by the textile and
other strikes, and the preparations

Gastonia Strike Leader
Asks Aid for Pickets

"Food will win the strike" These
were the concluding words of
George Pershing, organizer of the
National Textile Workers Union in
Gastonia, N. c., who is in New York
for several days, in ending an in
terview with representative of the
Workers International Relief yester-
day.
"The need of feeding the strik-
ers," said Pershing, "is one of the
most important phases of strike ac-
tivity. 1t goes hand in hand with
our daily picket line. If the Work
