Support the Workers Interna-
tional Relief Tag Days is the mes
sage sent by Pat Toohey, secretary

Union, are fighting life and death
battle. The bosses have called in

the state, in an effort to crush our
struggle. But their most powerful
weapon is starvation. They are try
ing to sarve the Illinois miners into
submission.
Relief is needed at once. Men,
women and children are without
food. The workers of this country
must support the campaign of the
Workers International Relief. The
Tag Days arranged for Saturday
and Sunday in New York will be
the means of raising substantial
sums of money for immediate strike
relief. New York workers, you must
not fail us. Support the W.I.R. Tag
Days. Help us win this struggle
which will be victory for the en-
tire working class"

NEGRO MASSES
IN WIDE REVOLT
British Labor" Rule
Shoot Oppressed
(Wireless By Enprecorr)

LONDON, Dec. 20. - Not only
have the native demonstration in
Nigeria, British West Africa,
against increased taxation been fir
ed upon by the police, who wounded
eighteen, but other demonstrations
in South Africa of the native Negro
population have been similarly at
tackled.
Great demonstrations were organ
lied on December 16 in several
South African centers against the
oppression of the natives by British,
Imperialism.
At Potchefstroom,. reactiopary
whites shot up the demonstration,
wounding seven. At Cape Town,
thousand Negroes participated in
the demonstration at which the eff
figies of General SHUTS and Pre-
mier Hertzog were burned.
Dispatches Friday from African
points stated that in Southern Nj
geria, and apparently extending
over wide area. the Negro popula-
ton is in revolt against the oppres-
sive rule of British imperialists,
The shooting occurred at Opobo on
Monday. g
A second climax is said to have
been reached after the recent shoot
ing Of eighteen Negro women, when
a mail boat from Calibar was met
with such hostility at Itu that it had
to turn back without discharging
cargo. Revolutionary outbreaks
also occurred at Umokoroshe.
Indications are that the whole
area is in revolt and that troops
and police are holding only some of
the towns. The area mentioned N
dispatches extends west from Cali
bar to Owerri and from Afikpo
south. Port Harcourt is mentioned
as being the point of arrival for
troops from aLgos and Ibadan.. Or
lta is noted as being held by the
troops.
At Opobo, it is stated that the
Negro women showed extreme bra
very, attacking the troops and try
ing to seize their riSes. The troops
are natives officered by British
whites.
