GASTONIA, N. c., Dec. 23.-To-
day, six days before the Gastonia
trial opens with its tremendous i'm
plications for the entire American
working-cla comes a message
from the Is textile strikers whose
lives will be in the balance next
week.
Their message is addressed to the
American proletariat. The strikers
say:
"Only the working class aroused
to the realization of our danger and
of the Importance and significance
of the Gastonia case can we be saved
from electrocution or the peniten-
tiary. T h militant workers
throughout the nation must imme-
diately voice their protest and re-
double their determination that we
members of the National Textile
Workers Union shall be freed"
The legal staff of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense is redoubling
its efforts to obtain a change of
venue, and a delay in the trial, in
order to more completely expose
the ruthless, unscrupulous legal
methods Of the prosecution with it's
frameup evidence.
The legal staff also points out
that the real defense must come
from mass pressure of the workers
militantly demanding the uncondi-
tional freedom of the strikers. The
recent remarkable growth of the

Real Cause OF
Prison Rev0lt

ALBANY, N. Y, July 23.-In an
attempt to cover up the frightful
conditions which drove 1900 de-
fenseless prisoners of the Clinton
prison at Dannemora to face certain
death in a desperate revolt, DR.. Ray
mond C. Kieb, state commissioner
of correction, today tried to pass off
the insurrection as the work of
New York racketeers." These, he
said, were anxious to permit the es-
cape of some of their number who
were soon to testify in the trial of
an accomplice.
Lame Excuse.
The weakness of Kieb's story
was emphasized when he failed to
give names of the supposed rackes-
teers. He admitted, however, that
at least six protest movements had
been crushed by prison guards '"be-
fore they assumed serious proper
tions."
Those closer to New York racke-
teering-a trade largely controlled
by Tammany-dismiss the story.
"The racketeers join with Tammany
in maintaining fearfully repressive
conditions which periodically drive
the men to revolt" they say.
Bad Conditions Caused Revolt
Rotten food, slop-pail sanitation,
disease-breeding cells and wide
spread overcrowding in the prison,
which was built in 1845 and still re-
tains its antiquated equipment have

ing the plans of the union for sue
cessfully continuing the struggle
for better living conditions for the
workers, and for a real union of
the rank and file, able to defend
the economic interests of the work
ers.
Call For Drive.
The statement concludes with a
call to the fur workers to imme-
diately begin an intensive campaign
to unite the ranks of the workers
and to rally around the Industrial
Union. 1t ends with the following
slogans: Join your Industrial Union.

TO EVERY COMMUNIST:
THE WORKERS OF THE SOVIET
UNION ARE PLEDGING THEIR WAGES
FOR THE DEFENSE OF THE SOVIET
UNION.
ARE YOU GOING TO WITHHOLD
FROM THE PARTY YOUR DAYS PAY?
Less than 1000 members have thus far
given their days pay to the Party.
Are you one of the 1000?
If not just think for moment what your
failure to give your days pay means.
1t means that the Party can not print
the millions of leaflets that it must issue to
bring to the masses of the workers of this
country the real meaning of the attack by
the Chinese hirelings of American, British
and Japanese imperialism against the Soviet
Union.
It means that the Party can not ade-
quately organize the struggle against the
IMPERIALIST WAR AGAINST THE So
WET UNION.
1t means that the Party can not organize

DETROIT, July 23.-Three thou
sand strikers of the Murray Body
plant prepared to resume work to-
day, when the company formally
withdrew its 20 per cent wage cut
notice and agreed to many of the
demands of the Auto Workers Union
which led the strike.
The proposal to call off the strike
because of the company proposals
was voted by majority of the strik-
crs at mass meeting, although the
strike committee voted against go
ing back to work.
Many Concessions.
Foremen unsatisfactory to the
workers will be removed, the terms
provide, and no discrimination will
be practised against the strikers.
Other minor concessions are stip-
ulated.
Bosses Compelled to Concede"
"The fact that the bosses were
compelled to grant these concessions
shows the strength of the movement
for Or anization among the workers

Units Represented.
The ranks of the delegates will be
swollen by representatives from
every unit of the Communist Party
in New York City, the District
Executive Committee having abro-
gated its former decision to send
only sectional delegates to the con-
ference.
"The previous instructions to the
section organizers are to be ig-
nored," Sam Darcy, director of the
Anti-Imperialist War Day Commit
tee, said. "All units must elect
three delegates each Immediately
and get their credentials to the
headquarters of the committee, 26-
% Union Square, as soon as pos
sible."
One hundred thousand copies of
the final strike call will be ready
Tuesday to be distributed broadcast
throughout the city. Great guam
titles of stickers are being printed
and will be on sale at the district
office Monday; units are required to
elect committees for their distribu-
ton.
Mass Meetings Wednesday.
AS a final mobilization for the
August l strike and demonstration,
the district is arranging another
series of outdoor mass meetings, to
be on an even larger scale than
those of last Friday, which mus
tered $4,000 workers against the
imperiahst plot to wage war on the
Soviet Union. These are to take
place Wednesday night, the eve of
international Red Day.
On Thursday, between II and
1'S0, meetings will be held before
every large factory and in every
factory district of the city, at which
the workers will be mobilized for
the general strike scheduled for a
o'clock. All class conscious work
ers will then down tools and march
to Union Square, where gigantic
demonstration, to be addressed by
strike leaders, representative mem
bers of the working class and mill
tants who have engaged in anti-war
struggles in Europe, the Philippines
and Manchuria, will serve to regis
ter the solidarity of New York
toilers with workers the world over
for the defense of the Soviet Union.
Torch-Light Professions.

The girls disappeared into

floated back to the men
smoking beside the table.
They had been seated upon

before them in a mass of

No silverware was in evil

Don Carlos rose to stretch

WHAT'S IN A KISS?

Well, the act | have
planned opens like this: I.
enter right, walking fast,
with Margie following me,
and when we get center
she's supposed to stop me
and say, "Where are you
going, sweetheart?" It's the
old gag about the girl try
ing to pick up the boy and
following him to his apart
ment. III admit it's not
new, but still we have some
pretty good lines, if I do
say so myself.
|. explain all the business
to Margie and give her
copy of her lines. But I'll
be a rooster if I can get her
to put anything into them.
For one thing, she doesn't
talk loud enough to carry
beyond Row A and she acts
as if she is just coming from
the funeral of her whole
family.
Listen, baby I says
after about the tenth time,
you are supposed to be
acting the part of a gay
flirt. Put some pep into it.
You are supposed to be pick
ing me up on the street, not.
trying to borrow a ten suot.
Don't you know how people
pick people upY"
She looks at me kind Of
hurt. "No," she. says final
ly. "Where I come from
people don't pick people up
on the street.
Well, that s what she said.
After I got through saying
a lot of things to myself
that are nobody's business,
I decided to reverse things
for the moment to try to
demonstrate the idea to her.
So Margie walks across the
ballroom, with me hot-foot-
ing it after her. When she
reaches the center | catch up
with her and say. Hello,
sweetheart, where are you
going'" She keeps right on
walking, and / stops her and
says, "Come on, baby, give
me a little kiss"

at me with flashing eyes,
then suddenly her express
sion changed.
"Gee, Bob" she says,
"I'm awfully sorry. Really,
I forgot myself for the mo-
ment. Gee, I didn't mean to
slap you.
"No wonder" " I says, try
ing to laugh it off, "that
people don't pick up people
on the street where you
come from. "
Well, sir, dumb and all as
it was, that sock set me to
thinking. It seemed as
though that wouldn It make
such a bad gag, and as long
as Margie did it so naturally,
it would be safer than the
other way. Of course, it
meant rewriting the whole
act, or most of it, but | was
even willing to do this. Just
goes to show what sort OF a

meantime, although I'd told
her beforehand that / was
going to change the act for
her benefit.
That morning I was in the

Margie, and who do you
think she walks in with I
Jack Cornish, of all people.
l was surprised, of course,
and tried to find out what
it was all about, but
neither she nor Jack seemed
to think there was anything
out of the ordinary.
OF course, I don't want
Jack to see the act yet, and
l try my best to get him out,
without appearing too
obvious. But Jack isn't
taking any hints, and seats
himself on the sidelines
without waiting for an in
yitation.
