The attitude OF British financiers,

flected by this fact:

When l mentioned the pauclty
Of American stock market news

was at first an awkward silence.
Then an American occupying q
high position in London for his

Those Of US who try to keep In
fairly close touch with America
are well aware Of the enormous
amount Of money that has been
made In American stocks-and
some Of US have been fortunate
enough to get some Of the profits.
Only occasionally, however, are
articles published in British pa
pers drawing attention to the rec
ord made by many American COM
panies."
A weII-read Englishman filling q
very responsible position expressed
cordial approval of the policy OF
the British papers. He pointed
out that Britain has had no ade-
quate excess OF capital since the
war and that home developments
had often been discouraged by the
difficulties in attracting capital.
l found q very general tendency
to ridicule the long.sustained ad-
vance in America shares and to
describe the whole movement as
a colossal bunco game, engineered
by scheming capitalists for the ul.

One-third Japanese Girls
Seem to Be Nearsighted

TOKYO, Sept. Z Q.N.Sl.-Seventy
thousand school girls in Japan suffer
from nearsigh out of the
total number of 221,000. The per-
centage is more than double that
in 1917 and is causing the educa.
tional authorities as well as in
dividual educators great alarm.
Greater opportunities for the
girls to engage in athletics was
perhaps the most significant remedy
advocated at the recent national
conference Of principals Of girls
schools. No other concrete remedy
was suggested but it was decided
to conduct a thorough investigation
into conditions responsible that
suitable action might be taken as
soon as possible.

Miners Wire Greetings
to Gastonia Victims

The Illinois district of the National
Miners Union, through Secretary H.
Corbishley, has sent a sharp tele-
gram to the international Labor De-
fense office in Charlotte, N. c., as
follows:
"The militant miners of Illinois
greet the Gastonia frame-up victims
of capitalism. We will fight ener-
getically the attempts of the mil
iionaire textile bosses to execute or
imprison our brothers, the textile
workers, who were absolutely right
in defending their colony. We con-
denim the capitalist party and A. F.

actions. The organized might of
the working class will stop the hand
of the executioner."

BOMBAY, India, July 31.-Fifty
Indian workers and students are re-
ported to have been shot when police
fired today on crowds in Bangalore.
Many of the wounded are not ex-
pected to live.
The outbreak occurred on day
of mourning on the anniversary of
a similar event in 1928.
Early in the day the police were
On hand and, as the crowds began
to mass, they poured a volley of
rifle fire into their midst.
The firing on the crowds in Banga-
lore has had a serious repercussion
here where the Anglo-Indian gov
ernment is holding the police in
readiness in event of disturbances.
Details of the outbreak in Banga-
lore are being strictly withheld by
the censorship.

LEAVING SHOPS
TO DEFEND USSR

Today is international Red
Day for the Defense of the
Soviet Union and Against I'M
perialist War.
Today the workers in every
industrial center of the world
will take possession of the
streets to manifest their class
solidarity with the workers and
peasants of the Soviet Union,
the fatherland of all toilers, to
unleash their fury over the i'm
perialist-instigated attack of
the Marking war lords Oh the
first workers republic, and to
challenge the police terror, the
mobilization of the military,
the wholesale arrests and wanton
murderers of which the imperialist
powers have been guilty in their fu-
tile attempts to balk the prepara-
tions for August l.
Show of Mass Power.
Today tens of thousands of New
York workers, synchronising their
protest with their fellow toilers the
world over, will down tools at four
o'clock and march to Union Square
to take part in mass demonstra-
tion against the rapacity of the in
ternational capitalists. The ruthless
smashing of mass meetings called
for the defense of the Gastonia
frame-up victims, part of Wall
Streets war campaign, the suppress
sion of Communist newspapers in
France, the slaughter of working
class leaders will be answered here,
as in Berlin, Paris, Prague, Hell
singfors, Hamburg, London, Shang-
hal, by show of mass resistance
and revolutionary power.
Several platforms, from which
strike leaders, representative work
ers and militants who have actively
participated in the struggle against
imperialist war preparations in
Europe, the Philippines and Man
churia, will address the throngs of
demonstrators, are to be erected in
Union Square. Four hundred pla-
cards emblazoned with the slogans
of the fighting workers are being
prepared for the huge demonstra-
tion.
Militant Speakers.
Among the speakers scheduled to
voice the anti-imperialism of the
demonstrators are such stalwart

Food Pickets Arrested
Before "Ideal"; Police
Act as Strikebreakers

Several more strikers were ar
rested yesterday while picketing the
Ideal Cafeteria, 113. E. 23rd st. Ar
raigned in Jefferson Market Court,
they were all freed. The workers
in this cafeteria joined in a spon-
taneous walkout last week and ap-
piled for leadership to the Hotel,
Restaurant and Cafeteria Workers
Union.
This week nine pickets were ar
rested by police as they were picket
ing; five were released at once and
two received suspended sentences.
Jacques Buitenkant, attorney for
the union, yesterday vigorously de-
nounced this action of the police in
arresting strikers for picketing ac-
tivity.
Police officials bluntly told Buiten-
kant that their men would arrest
the pickets as soon as they made
their appearance on the line.
To Continue Picketing.
The union attorney declared that
the police were simply acting as
strikebreaking agents. Picketing
would continue in spite of this ter
rorism, he said, until the strike is
won.

Communist Speakersat at
Street Meeting Refuse
To Stop For the Police

Two police sergeants and about
eight patrolmen looked with great
disfavor last night as the Daily
Worker was ready to go to press,
on a Communist street meeting at
13Sth st. and Seventh Ave, but
seemed afraid to break it up, on
account of the approval of the
speeches by crowd of at least 500
workers.
Meetings here have been broken
up in the past. The patrolman on
the scene told the speakers to stop.
They refused. He called a sergeant,
who also argued the meeting should
stop. The speakers refused, and
gained, and a second sergeant and
more police came. Two police cars
came. r..t the speakers, Mania
Reiss, Glassford, Geo. Speela, Alex
ander and Harold Williams Chair

his death-killed in self de-
Tense by the strikers upon
whom he was leading his gun
men in the attack. The workers of
this vicinity know full well that the
change of venue, which will change
the scene Of the mill owners at
tempt to railroad to the electric
chair at least 13 of the Gastonia
strikers and organizers and long
prison terms for ten more, is not
stacking in the least and that de-
tense efforts must be corresponding
ly increased.
The date of the new trial has not
been announced. 1t will certainly be
far enough in the future, to give
the mill owners time to perpetrate
the acts of prejudicing juror ma
terial, and use of private detectives
on jurors, exposure of which in the
case of CASTOR County, forced the
judge to make gesture of fairness
and change the venue and order the
trial moved to Charlotte. Unless the
governor calls a special term of
court, as he says he will, the trial
will be Sept. 2
If the special term is called, the
trial in Charlotte will probably be
in about two weeks time.
Meanwhile, organization plans go
on. The workers realize that the
basis of real defense is an aroused
and organized working class. Or
ganizers go out in the near future
to every mill town in the textile re-
gion. Many are already on the way,
the delegates at the successful Bes-
semer City Southern Textile Work
ers' Conference being all of them
now delegates of the National Tex
tile Workers Uiion.
All this union organization &C.

lotte conference, called to meet in

ference will be based on sufficient

BRITISH STRIKE
SPREADING; new
MILLS CUT PAY
Macdonald Agents Try
Again to Break It

MANCHESTER, England, July
81. The great British textile
strike in its third day today, seems
to be growing. The British Cotton
Waste Spinners Association (em-
ployers) has posted a notice that
wages will be cut twelve and half
per cent. 1t is not believed that tie
workers will stand for this, and that
they will refuse to go to work as
did the 100000 members of the tex
tile union workers in other cotton
mills in Lancashire, and 10000
more non-members, who joined them
in resisting this attempt to lower
the standards of living, already very
low.
Some Run at Full Pay.
The cotton industry in Lancashire
is practically tied up. There are
only one-eighth of the spindles and
one-fifth of the looms in this dis
trict running, and these belong to
mills outside of the employers as
sociation which decreed the first
wage cut, and have not attempted
any cutting of the pay.
There is practically no scabbing.
Five women worked in one mill in
the Preston district today, and were
booed and hissed by mass pickets
when they emerged. Police, subordi-
nate to the Macdonald labor gov
ernment, rushed down and escorted
them to safety.
Bosses Admit Effectiveness.
The British Federation of Master
Cotton Spinners admits that SO per
cent of the spindles of it's member
mills are idle; the claim of two per
cent working is laughed at here as
a gross exaggeration. There are
probably less than one tenth of one
per cent working.
The labor party government con-
tinues to work overtime to effect
a sell out of the strike, which is
usually called here lockout, as the
mill bosses arbitrarily cut wages
and refused to run on the old scale.
Commissioners of the ministry of
labor are continually arranging con-
ferences between the most conserva-
tive of the mill union officials and
the employers. So far these have
effected nothing. Another is sched-
uled for tonight.

Get MANY NAMES
IN BALLOT DRIVE
Signatures Pile Up For
City Election

Workers throughout the city are
responding with enthusiasm to the
request for their signatures in the
drive to place the Communist ticket
on the ballot in the New York City
elections. According to reports from
every section, workers who are ap-
preached, not only willingly sign
their names to the nominating petit
tions, but eagerly ask for literature
to acquaint them further with the
aims of the Communist Party in the
election campaign. In many in
stances also they have expressed
their readiness to join the Commu-
mist Party.
The drive for $4,000 signatures to
place all the Communist candidates
on the ballot will proceed with a
special mobilization for Sunday
morning, August a, at the various
headquarters of the Communist
Party in the boroughs of Manhat-
tan, Bronx and Brooklyn. Follow
ing this, headquarters will be open
every night, Saturday afternoons
and Sundays.
The election laws of New York
City and State are Of character to
make it exceptionally difficult to
place Communist candidates on the
ballot. The Communist Party calls
upon workers everywhere to sup
port it's signature drive, to sign their
names on the nominating petitions
and to actively participate in the
work of soliciting signatures.
The following headquarters will
be open on Sunday, August 4, and
every night thereafter:
Downtown Manhattan: 81 East 4th
Street.
Harlem: 43 East 103rd Street.
Bronx: 1880 Wilkins Avenue; 715
East 138th Street.
Williamsburg: Sc Manhattan Ave-
nue., Brooklyn.
Brownsville: 154 Watkins Street,

Strict Censorship Still

Despite the stringent censorship,
preventing all details from leaking
through, it was learned tonight that
fresh outbreaks have occurred in
several sections of the country,
while the government is arresting
all revolutionary leaders it can lay
it's hands on.
Trains loaded with troops are
rushing to the scene of fighting be-
tween armed workers and govern
ment police and local troops.
The government tonight sent a
circular message to ten officials
throughout Colombia asking the
organization of "civic police" to pre-
vent the danger of further Commu-
mist rioting such as cost IL lives

Police are reported to have seized
the revolutionary headquarters at

for a general revolution.

original resolution did not contain
this clause which was inserted at
the urgent request of Morris Hill

press in recognizing the right of
China "to demand removal of Rus

tales about 'Red propaganda" which
always furnishes the imperialists
with pretext for attacks on the
