Workers International Relief
Speeds Mobilization of Forces
Call for Nationwide Campaign to Supply the
Southern Strikers With More Food

Commenting on the wrecking of
the National Textile Workers Union
headquarters and the Workers Inter-
national Relief store at Gastonia,
N. c., early yesterday, Alfred Wag-
enknecht, national secretary, Work
ers International Relief, One Union
Square, New York City, stated:
"The Workers International Relief
will fight to the last ditch for the
right to feed the striking textile
workers of the Carolinas.
"The game of the textile barons
is only emphasized by this mob ac-
ton undoubtedly instigated by them.
Before the w. l. R. station was
opened in Gastonia, the textile bar
ons brazenly told the strikers that
the promises of relief by the North
ern workers was a myth, that the
National Textile Workers Union
would leave the workers to starve,
therefore they should come back to
work at once or they would soon be
walking skeletons.

mill owner read: Where is the

DELEGATES TO
LEAGUE EvADE
SOVIET Terms
Litvinoff Forces Them
to Vote on Each
Principle

GENEVA, April 18.-The League
of Nations preparatory disarmament
commission spent it's time today try
ing to side-step the demand of M
M. Litvinoff, acting Soviet foreign
minister, that the delegates say
whether they favor actual reduction
of world armaments or mere limi-
tation.
The commission finally decided to
ask it's steering committee for ar
advisory opinion on the extent OF
the commissions competency to pass
on the Soviet proposals. A vote was
postponed until tomorrow, the dele.
gates being too alarmed to trust
themselves to act at this session.
Litvinoff, head of the Soviet dele
cation and sponsor of the proposal
to reduce all ornaments by so pei
cent, saved the Soviet project from
quick defeat yesterday when he de-
manded that a vote be taken or
each of the three principles involved
despite the fact that virtually the
ertire commission opposed him.
He continued his assault today
forcing members of the commission
to move rapidly throughout the ses-
sion to avoid going on record. The
little entente supported by Japan
finally urged that the steering COM
mittee be asked for an opinion in
view Of the League of Nations coun-
cil's instructions to the disarmament
commission and the session was adj
journed for the day.
Litvinoff vigorously protested the
decision, saying he wanted decla-

MOST POPULAR NOVEL
IN THE SOVIET UNION
Cement
Full Page InstaIlment
in Special Edition for
MAY DAY !

While tens of thousands of
copies of Cement were being
sold throughout the Soviet Union
last year, dramatic versions of the
famous Gladkov novel were run
ming at the Moscow Trade Union
Theatre and at the Fourth Mos
cow Art Theatre, playing to
crowded houses of workers. At
the same time a cinema version Of
the story was screened by the
Ukrainian Kino Trust.
Writers, such as GOrky and
Serafimovitch, Party leaders, like
Bukharin, and rank and file work
ers were thrilled by the tremen-
dous power of the novel, its
thought-provoking treatment of
the great problems in socialist re-
construction facing the Soviet pro-
letariat. The first book to come to
ones mind when a foreigner ask
ed for a good, and typical Soviet
novel, was generally Cement"
A full page of Cement" will
appear in the Daily's special May
Day edition, with pictures illus
trating some of the problems dis
cussed in the book.

Excerpts from Cement"
Gleb and Dasha walked on in
silence; they wished to speak but
could not.
Mysterious lights flashed and
disappeared among the mountains
behind the town and in the sum-
mits above the sea. They blazed
out, turned round to darkness and
then blazed again.
Dasha touched GIeb's hand.
"DO you see those fire-signals?
Those are the signals of the
White Green forces. There'll be a
lot of trouble with them yet. They
will give us a lot of work and
considerable blood will be she'd"
Thus she spoke, but in her
words there was ano her spirit,
certainly not that which looked for
protection and caress from his
masculine strength. They were
not the words which Gleb wanted.
What kind of life had Dasha led
without him? What force had
given her a distinct personality?
This force had crushed the for
mer Dasha, and the present Dasha
was bigger and finer than the old.
And it was this force which lay
immovable and impregnable be-
tween them.
Dasha walked with firm quick
step. Although the path could not
be seen, she could see clear in
the night like a cat.
