committees, individual representa-
tives of the factory workers and pro-
letarian mass organizations will be
represented at these conferences.
Apart from the factory delegate
conferences, the Party will also
utilize shop council conferences, con-
ferences of the trade union OPPOSE
ton and conferences upon economic
questions in order to strengthen the
anti-war campaign. In all these con-
ferences the necessary measures will
be discussed in detail, and local anti
war committees will be formed. In
the anti-war conferences, particular
attention will be paid to the ques-
ton of the struggle against the ex-
pected repressive measures of the
bourgeoisie.
The Party will form a centralized
leadership from the broad local anti
war committees and this central
leadership will take all necessary
steps before the LIST Of August to en-
sure that broad mobilization Of the
masses takes place despite all the
repressive measures Of the bour-
geoisie.

Needle Workers Strike
Against Speed-Up in
Winnipeg, Cam, Shop

WINNIPEG, Man. (By Mail. -
All of the IS workers employed at
sweatshop conditions by the Freed
and Freed Company answered the
strike call of the Winnipeg Joint
Board of the Industrial Union Of
Needle Trades Workers Of Canada
today. Mass picketing started i'm
mediately.
For the last few weeks the firm
had fought bitterly to introduce the
sectionalized speed-up system. 1t
had failed because Of the strong re-
sistance of the union workers, who,
in lightning strike two weeks ago,
had forced withdrawal of the new
system. Repeated attempts to
smuggle it into operation, however.
precipitated the strike call.

Mounted police charged a picket

man, aged "a.
Cars Stopped.
In spite of the police terror, no
cars are moving as this is written.
Only one car actually left the barns,
run by scabs, and half filled with
heavily armed police. 1t was unable
to return when a picket demonstra-
ton blocked its way.
The Public Service Co., owners of
the street car lines, had loudly adj
vertised that they were going to
operate all lines today with strike
breakers. Four hundred imported
scabs with between 80 and 100 po-
lice to guard them tried to APP
proach the barns late yesterday,
and 500 strikers threw themselves
in the way. The police and scabs
attacked viciously, and many shots
were fired. When the smoke cleared
away, Molinerio lay where he had
been shot down in the street, and
died socn after being taken to the
hospital.
Mass Picketing.
Today, with scabs secreted in the
barns, which have been turned into
armed fortresses, around the scab
pens where hunks and kitchens are
established, the company ran a car
out of the Canal street barn. All
available police reserves were sent
to follow it, and another car prepared
TO leave. This car was stopped by
200 strikers, mass picketing.
The police opened fire with riot
guns and Sylvan Thibodeaux, a
striker, was shot through the head,
and William Foret was shot in the
shoulder.
At another point more strikers
were shot and Mrs. Holman was
crushed beneath the hoofs of the
mounted police.
The killers are led by Superin-
tendent of Police Theodore Ray. He
is angered because his son, Fred
erick Ray, scabbing in the Carroll
ton barn, attacked a striker on his
way home from work, and got a
broken head as a result.
The members of Local Union 1874,
of the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway EN-
ployes, announces that it will fight
all summer if necessary. This
strike started Monday because the
company demanded the right to fire
union men without arbitration pro-
ceedings, and refused to recognize
seniority in promotions.

important steps for the purpose Of
broadening out the strike against
the intolerable conditions in the
shops.
The bosses and their scab agents
are pretending that the strike has
not touched them very seriously, but
this is belied by the fact that they
have modified the police depart
ment and the underworld to terrorize
the workers, and to concoct frame
up against them.
The most recent bluff Of the COM
pany union is grand stand play in
volving a fake "drive" to get July
raises for the workers. All these
methods of the scab council have but
one purpose, the Industrial Union
says: to frighten, deceive and to de-
moralize the furriers.
The Industrial Union therefore
calls all furriers to the picket line
Monday morning to demonstrate
against all these dark forces and for
courageous struggle for union con-
ditions.

in the preparatory months when
the tasks raised by the May events
will be carried out: control of the
leadership, above all in the large
factories, the formation of sys-
tenn of revolutionary shop stewards
in the factories, the organization and
improvement of the composition CT
the women's departments, the cleo
tion of women organizers in the fac
tory groups, the organization of
demonstrations against the prohibit
tions, the formation of proletarian
defense groups, the extension Of the
agitation and propaganda appara-
tus of the subordinate party organ
izations, the organization of agita-
ton and propaganda conferences in
all districts, and the political influ-
encing of the factories, etc.
For the preparation of the mass
agitation, the Party is forming
preparatory committees in the dis
tricts, and in small towns, consist
ing of Representatives of the Party,
the Youth, the fraternal organize
tions, and of mass organizations
and large factories. 1t is of espe-
cial Importance that sport organiza-
lions should be represented on these
committees. The working women
must also be represented.
After the necessary theological
and political preparatory work, the
Party will commence to form Anti
War Committees in the factories to
prepare the Red Day. These Anti
War Committees will be built upon
the broadest possible basis.
Women and Youth.
In view Of the fact that the or
ganizational position of the Party
amongst the masses of the working
women and the working youth who
play an important role in the war
industries, is weak, the Party is
taking special measures to mobilize
these sections Of the working class
(women's delegate conferences and
delegate conferences of the working
youth, locally, in the districts and
centrally. These women and youth
conferences will also send repre-
sentatives into the Anti-War Com
mittees.
The anti-war agitation will be
carried into the ranks of the farm
laborers and poor peasants in con-
nection with the question of taxa
ton, the increase in the cost of liv-
ing, etc.

so Killed Each Day.
There are 100000 workers in the
construction industry throughout the
country. Not more than a quarter
Of these workers are organized.
Employers are draining the last
drop of energy out of workers in
the construction industry, rushing
building contracts, laying off men
in slow seasons, fighting reduction
of hours, demanding overtime, build
ing up huge funds with which they
have already smashed the union in
some cities and preparing to stage
huge lock-outs when they consider
the time ripe to attack building
trades workers in the more strongly
organized centers and trades. In
line with the policy of individual
freedom to do what they please in
their industry, with no labor or
state interference, the Contractors
Association has opposed compulsory
safety measures and even the for
mutation of national standards of
safety. Such methods have resulted
in approximately so deaths of con-
struction workers every working
day and an accident rate which is
rising by leaps and bounds. Build
ing construction accidents in New
York rose from 7,540 to 20,464 be-
tween the years 1918 and 1926. Ac-
cidents to building trades workers
in California, Pennsylvania and
other industrial states show a SIM
liar increase.
First Real Code.
There has just been published by
the Labor Research Association, 80
E. 18th ST., New York, a Safety
Code for Workers in the Construc-
ton Industry. This is the first
trade union safety code for the con-
struction industry in existence. The
code was prepared by a committee
representing various leading build
ing trades unions in cooperation
with the Workers Health Bureau
of America. 1t was completed in
spite of the active opposition of the
contractors. 1t has been sabotaged
by the Building Trades Department
of the American Federation of La
Dor who should have been the very
ones to insist on such a code years
ago and who should have given the
organization undertaking the prep
aration of such material full sup
port.
As soon as these labor takers
realized that the code was going to
be published and sent to local
unions over their heads, they rushed
to the secretary of labor and asked
him to call national conference to
see what could be done about reduc-
ing accidents in the construction in
dustry. Of course the secretary of
labor passed the buck until the
proper tip came from the contrac-
tors. The conference if called at
all, will be properly selected so
that the employers have the decid-
ing vote and not until they have
ample opportunity to prepare set
of counter proposals which will pull
the teeth out of the comprehensive
provisions of the code prepared by
the workers. Every building trades
worker should have a copy of this
code.

public and the workers" for the re-
duction of accidents in building con-
struction. There have been too
many similar conferences in other
industries, with no results. The
national government is impotent to
take any action. They can only
recommend. All the facts are be-
fore US and have been before us
for many years. The employers
will continue to do nothing until
they are forced to act by the or
gained power of the workers.
State departments of labor and city
politicians put in office by the en-
ploying class to do their bidding,
will close their eyes to violations of
the law and neglect the introduc-
ton of adequate safety measures,
until labor, organized on the poll
teal as well as on the industrial
field, is strong enough to force their
hand.
Workers must be under no illu-
sions as to the value of safety regu-
lations in the hands of capitalist
state. But class conscious workers
can use this trade union safety
code as a standard of protection to
be fought for in every union agree
ment. They can show up the bosses
who oppose this standard of safety
in city and state laws. They can
show up the corruption of boss
controlled inspectors and elect their
own union inspectors and safety
committees on every construction
job. They can play up the terrible
rate of accidents and death in the
building industry in one of the coun-
try's most flourishing trades, capt.
talized at no less than six billion
dollars.
Send Fraternal Delegates.
Workers, these are issues which
affect you every working day. You
are the ones who suffer from acct
dents and diseases contracted in the
course of your work. When you are
injured your job is gone, you and
your families pay the full price of
the bosses neglect and slave drying
methods. Begin to keep records of
accidents and deaths in your trade.
Study the compensation laws of your
state so that you can show your
membership what small amounts are
given to workers killed and injured.
Show up the lack of safety meas
ures in your state and city and the
corruption of the inspection force.
Use these facts to drive home to
your fellow workers the viciousness
of the capitalist system and its boss
controlled political machine. Point
out that republicans and democrats
are only reverse sides of the same
system, the system which profits at
the expense of the worker. Enroll
in the coming election campaign un-
der the banner of the Communist
Party, the only party which fights
uncompromisingly for the rights OF
the workers. Elect representatives
from your shop and union as frater-
nal delegates to the city nominating
convention of the Communist Party
and see that the local issues which
affect the security and safety OF
workers in your trade are written
into the Party Platform along with
those more far reaching issues
which demand the overthrow of the
capitalist system and the establish
ment of workers and farmers
