WASHINGTON, July 26.-The

screen of Hoover's parity" agree
nlent with Macdonald. Various SEN
ators and army and navy officials
are being allowed to argue that "real
parity means U. S. building more

AS it is felt here that the Mac
Donald program Of stopping ship
building is merely an economy
measure, .and that the development
of air and chemical warfare will be
reflected a little later in airplane
carriers, submarine mother ships,
ETC., the war mongers feel fairly
well satisfied.
Senator Frederick Hale of Maine,
Chairman of the Senate Committee
on Naval Affairs, tonight reasserted
his belief that President Hoover ex-
ceeded his authority when he prom
ised to delay the cruiser construc-
tion program of the United States"
In the army the "retrenchment
plan" seems best summed up by the
sole proposition put forward yet, the
abandonment of the army barracks
on Governor island, because the
island could better be used as an

Gastonia Defense and Relief Week,
being held under the auspices of the
Workers International Relief and
the International Labor Defense.
One hundred families of the strik-
ers, many of them threatened by
the disease born of lack of food,
would be left entirely in starvation
if not for the tent colony of the
W. l. R.
A letter today received from Car
oline Drew, w. I. R. representative
in Gastonia, told of the necessity
for fresh foodstuffs, especially milk
and fruits, to counteract the symp-
toms of pellagra which many of the
strikers show. Most of the strik-
ers had symptoms of it when they
came to the camp.
Drew also writes: "Our Workers
International Relief Committee shall
prepare the food for the delegates
to the Sunday, July 28, conference,
to which Representatives of mills
throughout the Carolinas, Tennessee
and Georgia will be present.
She told of an attempt of the mill
bosses to question and rescind the
contract for the land on which the
w. I. R. colony stands. She writes
Of the American Mill, No. 1, which
is building a fence around the COM

N. Bedford Mill Hands
Meet on Gastonia

From July 27 to Aug. there will
be a tremendous stirring through
out the working class of America.
The workers of America are deter
mined that not one striker is to go
to the electric chair, not one striker
is to go to Jail of those held for
trial in Gastonia.
The International Labor Defense
and the Workers International Re-
lief have been assured by thousands
of workers the country over that the
million names for the petition will
be obtained, that the $50,000 will be
raised and that the workers in ev-
cry mill and factory will learn of
the Gastonia trial.
To get the names for the petition,
and to raise funds, one of the most
important methods is by house to
house collection and shop sollec-
ton.
Door to Door Campaign.
"a door to door campaign among
the working class; let those who
have not heard of the Gastonia ter
ror learn Of i'll" states the l. L. D.
When the American proletariat
learns that these strikers fought
for the right of workers to union
ize for better conditions, and for
the right Of workers to unionize for
better conditions, and for the right
to defend their homes and families
from the murderous onslaughts of
boss-controlled police, they will i'm
mediately come to the textile strik-
ers' aid.
