with James P. Reid, president of the

workers gathered in the A. G. A.
Hall in five languages in Provi-
dence's May Day celebration.
Cheers greeted Theinert, an old
timer in the labor struggle, and the
first socialist elected in America,
when he told the history of May Day,
and refuted the capitalist theory
that it was Imported from Europe"
He told how it became Labor's holi-
day, first in 1886 in the eight-hour-
day strike movement, centering in
Chicago.
A Young Pioneer, Annie Marchuk,
recited in Russian and English; and

In hospitals tonight there were

ance of uniforms anywhere in Neu-

from hundreds of houses. The po-
lice attempted to take the offensive,
shooting through open windows and
at roof tops where they thought

Immediately after hearing the news
of the murder of their fellow work
ers. The protest strike against the
police terror on May Day and fol-
lowing days is growing, though the
social-demoeratic party leaders and
the reactionary heads of the trade
unions issued proclamations this
morning asking workers not to do
anything that would "embarrass the
government of the republic in this
crisis"
Three thousand workers struck
sAis morning in the cigarette indus
try, and late this afternoon 1000
more came out. Four or five thou
sand are striking in the metal and
building industries, and the numbers
grow hourly.
The fighting today followed an at
tempt by the police in thousands to
conduct a house to house search
and make arrests because of the bar
Reading and defense by Communist
led workers of the protest meetings
last night.
Police Driven Back.
The police were driven away in
terror from the strongly construc-
ted barricades thrown across the
main streets of Neu Koelln early in
the evening. They retreated to re-
form their ranks and recover from
their losses, stating frankly that an
attempt to storm the barrieades
would ''cost thousands of their
lives"
The Communist tacticians consid-
cred the stubborn resistance and vic
tories in street fighting of yester-
day and the day before a sufficient
warning to the capitalist govern
ment and social-democratic officials
of Berlin that hereafter May Day
demonstrations were to be allowed
to meet without police brutality, and
withdrew from the barricsdes dur
ing the night. sH.3
The police provoked an instant re-
newal of the battle, however, when
they sought to secure victims for
prosecution in the courts.
Suppress ''Rote Fahne"
Police comment in dismay on the
efficiency of the Communist hospital
service, which carried off most of
the wounded workers and did not
leave them to the tender mercies of
the socialist gunner.
The Communist Party organ, Die
Rote Fahne, is suppressed today.
It was revealed today that scout
ing party of Red Front Fighters al
most captured a police station yes
terday. The doors were already bat
tered in and workers were firing
down the Railways when government
shock troops from another part of
the city came and raised the siege.
Workers who were not armed used
stones and bottles with such deadly
aim that they often knocked the
guns out of the hands of the police
and troops.

New Bedford Resolution.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May 8.
Five thousand workers attended
the May Day demonstration here un-
der the auspices of the National Tex
tile Workers Union, and for several
minutes cheered on their feet reso-
luton submitted by Albert Weisbord,
national secretary of the union.
The resolution called attention to
the more militant mood of workers
all over the world, in Germany, Eng
land, France, Poland and India es-
pecially and in parts of the U. S.
such as North Carolina where they
have never before taken part in an
organized struggle against the
bosses.
The resolution condemned i'm
perialism and the coming imperialist
war and called for the defense of the
Soviet Union.
1t stated: "Our last strike was
only the beginning of our struggle
against the speed-up and against the
low standard Of living to which we
are subjected. We will continue to
fight against all forms of the speed
up and stretch our system; for a 20
per cent increase in wages to make
up partly for the 331s per cent in
crease in production which the
bosses forced from US; for the estab-
lishment of the 40-hour, 5-day week
to remedy partly unemployment
which is becoming chronic in the
textile industry on account of the
speed-up."
