break the strike.
Food Arriving.
Shipments of food, clothing and
remittances of money for the relief
of the strikers are arriving here
from various Southern points. The
destruction of the tent colony has
aroused workers in all the states
south of the Mason-Dixon line.
Eviction of textile workers in all
the mill towns surrounding Gas
tonia is continuing. These workers
are being thrown out into the streets
because they had given shelter to
some of the Loray mill strikers after
the mill owners thugs destroyed the
W. l. R. tent colony on June 7th.
Altho Caroline Drew, w. I. R.
representative, and several strikers
who are members of the local w.
I. R. committee, have been released,
there were rumors last night that
they are to be arrested again on
other charges, in order to interfere
with the feeding of the strikers.
Heavy demands are being made
on the w. /. r. for special food
diets for the many pellagra patients
among the strikers. Different food
than is given to the rest of the
strikers has to be purchased for
these workers. Pellagra is star
walton disease due to lack of fresh
meat and vegetables, ETC., in the
diet.
In addition to the Importance Of
the erection of the new tent colony
for housing the homeless strikers,
another important point is that it
will be used for holding union mass
meetings until the deputies are
elected from the regular union head
quarters.
The new tent colony will be the
center of new struggle of the
striking workers against exploita.
ton by mill owners. The need fol
more funds for more tents is very
great. Many strikers who have hac
no place to sleep since the police
raid on the tent colony on June It'll

Funds are needed at once. Do moi

Funds for Gastonia Defense.

Judging by the response thus far
to the appeals of the International
Labor Defense, the workers of this
country are determined to save
every one of the textile strikers and
strike leaders who have been framed
up in Gastonia, N. c., at the behest
of the Manville-Jenckes Company"

today. The statement continues;

Prevented Massacre.
The workers are learning that the
strikers charged with murder. are
being framed up because the Work
ers Guard at Gastonia mill strike
tent colony defended the strikers
against well organized and delib-
erately planned attempt to massacre
men, women and children. The mill
owners were desperate, and sent
their city police and hired deputies
to kill enough Of the strikers or
their children to break the spirit
of the others and drive them back
to work on the basis of surrender.
Due to the heroism and resistance
of the Workers Guard, the plan
failed.
Now it is obvious the mill bosses,
by means of every influence that
wealth can WELD, are trying to carry
through by use of the courts the
slaughter they were not able to
carry out by direct means. This plan
of theirs must fail too, and it will
fail if the workers rally behind the
international Labor Defense, for the
Gastonia frame-up victims, in suf-
ficient numbers, and soon enough.

SATURAT|ON POINT
IS HELD 'BUGABOO'
G. M. Williams Optimistic as
/ to Future for Auto
Manufacturers.

"After careful investigation into cir
cumstances surrounding the economic
situation of 1929, I feel we have every
reason to expect a very desirable auto
motive year." G. NJ. Williams, president
of the Marmon Motor Co., contends.
There are several factors which con-
tribute to this conclusion. The autono-
bile has become such an accepted
element of personal business and con-
venience that the growth of the indus
try and the establishment OF new sales
records, year after year. cannot be re-
garded in any but the light OF nor
NAL and substantial progress.
Years ago, economists talked IN an
alarming manner of what they termed
the saturation point in the automobile
industry. This point, when production
of automobiles was scheduled to over
step the bounds of the economic law
of supply and demand, has never been
reached although the annual output
of motor cars has far exceeded all
earlier predictions OF even the most
dyed-in -the-wool optimist.
Saturation Point Out of Sight.
"As I see the trend of future devel-
opment, the so-called Saturation point
is as far ahead now as 1t was 10 years
ago-farther, in fact. Production In
1929 bids fair to be even greater than
in 1928, but it is evident that there Is
room in this country for several million
more cars, in addition to the annual
demand for replacement purposes Pros
perity has become the keynote of Amer
lean business and konw of no indus
try to which this may be better applied
than the automobile industry.
1.-TWO other factors enter into an out
look of continued healthy and subStan-
tial progress in the manufacture Of
motor cars.
1.-THE first of these is the gerat f1eX-
Utility of the industry which makes 1t
possible for manufacturers to adapt
themselves to prevailing business con-
ditions by regulating their production
and introducing new and SalaDle fea-
lures of design and construction on
comparatively short notice.
Export Business Grows.
"The second is the remarkable growth
of export business of American manu-
facturers and the rapid expansion of
the market for American cars not only
in South America and Europe, but in
OCner parCS Oh Tie WOIlu. EblsAG AOW,
a substantial percentage of the annual
output of motor cars is shipped abroad
and it is evident that the rest of the
world, in acknowledging the United
States as the automobile leader, &C.
cepts the American car as the best
produced.
"All in all, it is my opinion that the
automobile industry may look forward
to a period of continued growth and
prosperity, not only in 1929, but in many
more years to come

Bob Custer has played his trump card when it comes to spectacular riding, in his pewest F. B. o. pro duction, ''The Dude Cowboy" which will be at the Coliseum tonight.
 Bob, one of the most daring rid CTS on the screen, has some new stunts which are not only different but which may be classed as the peers of breath-taking feath. The picture not only has thrills galore but it abounds in romance and comedy. and achieves a smashing note of speed in the first reel which keeps up consistently and smoothly to the last foot of film. Credit for the splendid direction is due to Jack Nelson who is re sponsible for many of the Custer successes. The cast includes many favories, such as Flora Bramley, Billy Fletcher, Bruce Gordon, How ard Truesdell, Amber Norman, Sa bel Johnson, and Eddie Gordon The continuity was written by Paul M Bryan from the story by James Ormont.

Now, as the Bystander recalls 1t, the chief work before the war of that be- whiskered leader was the organi- zation of a popular navy league designed to make Germany ship minded and therefore complacent toward heavily increased naval building programs. Up to 1915, at least, he was apparently en- tirely successful.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-JGst what part did the beard of von Tirpitz play in the World War?
 Everybody remembers it. That huge, black, shovel shaped, pirat- ieal-locking chin adornment rare Iy missed a week in the war time rotogravure sections. Almost everybody had a notion there was some sort of a sinister con neetion between it and the busi- ness of torpedoing merchant ships without warning. Now the truth is cut-officially.
 It is related in wartime cablegram from Ambassador Jimmie Gerard at Berlin, just published, which attracted the special notice of President Will son and which mentioned spcci- fically the beard of yon Tirppitz. So far as this writer knows, that's the only time anybody's beard achieved suuh interna- tional prominence.
