40 TONS OF
GRASS SENT
TO CANNERY
Sunnyside Company Will Take
All Available Grass at 41a
Cents Per Pound, According
to Desgranges.

Forty tons of asparagus have
cen shipped already to the Sum-
yside cannery by the Big Y, ac-
cording to H. w. Desgranges, To-
al manager. The cannery wants
IL of the asparagus that the Y
an ship Desgranges points out
Scanning green asparagus, such
as Kennewick grows, was an ex-
pertinent this year and the price
which the cannery is paying to the
growers, four and half cents, is
an experimental price.
This is the first year that long,
reen asparagus has been canned
commercial scale. The man
ger of the Sunnyside cannery in
reduced this canned product to
the Seattle trade recently and
ound that Seattle alone will take
0,0O0 cases. The Seattle trade
marked the Kennewick canned pro-
uct the0inest ever seen.
"This means that next year we
will have market for all the green
sparagus when the fresh market
goes off, Desgranges said this
corning. "The cannery price should
e better next year because the
annery paid the growers price
his year that would just keep the
growers from not losing money as
he canning of the asparagus was
n experiment. This cannery mar
ct should stabilize the asparagus
larket next year and should clean
n the last half of the CROP"

realizing that organization is more
than ever needed.
If the mill bosses expected by this
trial and by the recent threats to
again attack the strikers that they
would paralyze the National Tex
tile Workers Union they are badly
mistaken. The great Southern Con-
ference of the N. T. w. in Bessemer
tomorrow is now an assured sue
cess. And this conference, with the
trial scheduled for the next day,
will show the brutal exploiters of
the mill workers that there is fight
ing spirit in the textile workers, and
that they demand, with millions of
other workers all over the world
back of them, that the Gastonia
prisoners shall be released.
The international Labor Defense to-
day engaged Johnson D. Mccall as
one of defense counsel for the %
framed-up Gastonia workers. Nc
Call is a prominent attorney of
Charlotte where he has practised
law for forty years. He will replace
Judge Carter who has been forced,
because of personal affairs, to
withdraw from the case although
he states that his sympathy is with
the defendants just the same as
ever. He has served in an advisory
capacity for the past several weeks,
The addition of Attorney Mccall
strengthens the defense. 1t is re-
ported from reliable sources that
the mill owners are ready to spend
one million dollars if necessary to
convict.
The prosecution is fighting bit
terly against the change of venue
as they know the weakness Of their
case with its frame-up evidence,
and hope to keep the trial in Gas
tonia where they have inflamed pre-
JUDGE of the prospective middle
class jurors. Meetings were being
held yesterday and today with work
ers in many mills in CASTOR county,
the Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia,
to elect more delegates to the con-
ference Sunday in Bessemer. About
200 delegates are expected.
All the forces are making final
preparations for transportation
feeding and lodging of the dele
gates. Every delegate will be an
American mill worker and not
preachers, lawyers, doctors and mil
lionaire liberals and pacifists as at
the Rye U. T. W. conference.
At the meeting Wednesday of
the Belmont local of the U. T. W,
the executive board decided to tear
up the U. T. w. charter and ask
for charter of the National Tex
tile Workers Union and send five
delegates to the conferences. These
five were leaders of the strike few

Hardly had Morris Taft, veteran
needle trades worker, arisen on the
platform to speak, when a squad of
police, who had been given instruc-
tions to break up all efforts to rally
the workers for Aug. /, descended
on the meeting, pulled Taft down
and began breaking up the plat
form. One Of the workers, I'M
daunted Immediately brought an
other box and Rebecca Grecht, cleo
ton campaign manager of District
2, Communist Party, and Commu-
mist candidate in the 9Th Assembly
District, Bronx, mounted it and be-
gan telling the workers the mean
ing Of International Red Day.
The police, enraged, began drag
ging her down and pulling in work
ers from the crowd Unfortunately.
Grecht refused to be cowed and con-
tinued her speech until the BLACK
Maria" came. The great crowd of
workers gave vent to their feelings
by kissing the police and cheering
the speakers of the Communist Par
ty.
Eight others, besides Grecht and
Taft, were arrested and taken to the
30th st. police station. They are:
Sonia Margolis, Becky Lichtman,
Kenya Ridar, May Helfgott, Esther
Weiss, Rita Mandell, Paulina Goot-

Tended by the New York District

Despite the police attacks, which
are part of the international sup

es it will continue with its mass
meetings and other preparations for

at must be understood by every
worker that the offensive of the
bosses against the workers is also
a phase for the preparations fol
new capitalist wars-against the
workers and farmers of Soviet
Russia, and also between the CAPT
talist powers themselves, especially
between the United States financial
interests and British financial in
terests. In fighting against the at
tacks of the bosses on the living
standards-the wages, hours and
conditions of the workers, every
worker must also consciously link
this up with the struggle against
the present preparations of the
bosses for new imperialist wars.
The international solidarity of the
workers is necessary; international
trade union unity must be our aim"
