greetings for the May Dey edition.
What does a greeting to the May
Day edition mean? 1t means that
workers and organizations sending
in those greetings demonstrate their
solidarity in the struggle against
the capitalist press and its support
ers. 1t means that they are par
ticipating in the fight of the Daily
Worker, which is the daily fight of
the working class. 1t means that
not only this May Day edition is
made possible, in the midst of the
great strikes being led by the Com
rnunist Farty and left-wing workers,
but also that more May Day edi-
tions will be made possible when we
need them most.
Greetings also mean that it will
be possible to distribute an issue
which places sharply before the
workers the significance of May
Day, as it arose from the struggles
of the past and as it is living in
the struggles of today.
Cities Order Many Copies.
Large orders for bundles of the
May Day edition have already been
received. Chicago has ordered 3d.
900, Detroit 10000, San Francisco
thus far has ordered 5000. Orders
have also come in from such diver
gent points as Salt Lake City, Little
Rock, Ark, as well as from cities
and industrial centers in practically
every part of the country.
But not enough greetings have
come in to make possible as large a
distribution as is wanted, nor enough
special editions for leading cities.
Send in greetings and bundle or
ders! Every greeting, every bundle
order means that more workers will
be drawn into the fight shoulder to
shoulder with us.

Successful Union omand
"May first, 1929, follows closely
upon our successful campaign among
the dressmakers, campaign which
laid the cornerstone for the up
building of our union and at the
same time set up a tombstone for
the Schlesinger Hillman Kaufman
socialist ass-collaboration leader
ship.
"May first, 1929, will mark the
opening of the new campaign to
establish better conditions for the
furriers and cloakmakers to estab-
lish the standards for the workers
in the industry, which have been
broken down by the Right wing in
close collaboration with the bosses.
May first must be the mobilization
day for the building of the new
trade union center locally on May
1919 and nationally in Cleveland
June IL.
All Out on May /!
"May first for the needle work
ers will be a demonstration of uor
solidarity with the workers through
out America, and throughout the
world in their struggles against in
ternational capitalism. On May
Day, 1929, the Needle Workers In
dustrial Union will pledge itself to
stand shoulder to shoulder with the
forces Of the international proletari-
ats, the workers in every land, the
oppressed colonial and Negro peo-
pies, against imperialist war and
exploitation, against the danger of
a new attack upon the Soviet Union,
the workers fatherland.

to answer the call of the May Day
Labor Conference of Unions and
Fraternal Organizations and the
Communist Party, to respond as one
man, to the demonstration at the
Bronx Coliseum.

and imperialist war! Defend the

The resolution presented to the

in order to foster prejudice among

U.T.W. Officials Flee.


the United Textile Workers, the
right-wing union whose bureaucracy
has repeatedly betrayed these rayon
strikers in the past, is now leaving
for Washington to confer with
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor. He
states his purpose to be the secur-
ing of a congressional investigation
of the strike, but strikers are con-
WINGED that he is yielding to the
advice of the employers and of Ad-
jutant General Boyd, in command of
two companies of militia here, who
told him the strikers would go back
to work more readily if he and other
officials of the union were out of
the city, for, while they are here,
the men still hold out hopes that
the union may do something for
them.
Labor Commissioner Wood, of the
Department of Labor, is still here,
and will cooperate with Major
Berry in trying to hoodwink the
strikers into returning to their jobs,
pending the problematical federal
investigation" of their demands
that the employers carry out the
contract they made at the time of
the strike a month ago for better
conditions.

Gatherings at Washington
Cathedral Deal With Aspects
of Christian Faith.

DR.. William C. Sturgis, former educa-
tional secretary Of the department of
missions of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, is conducting a conference for
laymen, which began Friday evening at
washington Cathedral and will continue
through today.
It is the third of series Of gather
ings which have as their object the dis
cussion of various aspects OF the Chris
tian faith and what it implies as to adj
vantage, responsibility and opportunity
in daily life. The sessions began Fri
day evening and continued yesterday,
afternoon and evening, and this morn
ing and afternoon.
Each session is of two hours dura-
ton, consisting of an hour lecture, fol-
lowed by general discussion. The ses-
sions take place in the Cathedral IL
brary, and the chapels of the Cathedral
offer opportunity for worship. Holy
communion is celebrated each morning
before breakfast, a brief intercession
occurs at noon and the day closes with
an Office of compline.
Sponsored by the College OF Preach
ers, these gatherings, it was stated, are
intended primarily for men from OUT
side the immediate locality Of Washing

of outlook and partly to insure sense
of community life. Pending completion

very unusual child. It approaches
closer to that of modern man. Partic-
ularly notable is the expansion OF the
pre-frontal area of the brain, which has
appeared notably deficient in most Ne
anderthal skulls. On the other hand,
the skull indicates that the temporal
lobe Of the brain was very poorly devel-
oped, even in comparison to other pre-
humans OF that period. The child may
represent O notable link in tracing the
evolution of the human brain.
The position of the bones when found
indicated that the little boys skeleton
had been Intentionally preserved either
as trophy of some kind or as a pious
rite. The child may have been human
sacrifice In the practice of the primitive
religion of the Neanderthalers There
was some evidence that the skull and
the jawbone were tied together. The
skeleton lay originally in cave, but as
it broke up in the course of time all the
other bones apparently were carried for
ward by running water and eventually
fell over the face of the cliff.
The casts telling the story Of this very
ancient child tragedy will be added to
the National Museums large collection
of European pre-human skeletal ma
terial which has been gathered by Dr.
Hrdlicka.

this week received from DR.. Arthur

This find is considered one of the most

the bones it has been possible to recon-

boy and what happened to him.

Europe just before the coming of true
