T.U.EL. Calls All Workers
to Defend the SOUiet Union

A stirring call to the working
masses of the United States to rally
at once to the defense of the Soviet
Union in view of the present attack
upon it is contained in a statement
issued yesterday by the Trade Union
Educational League. The statement
follows:
The working class of the United
States, acting in accord with the
militant workers of the entire world,
must Immediately and decisively
rally to the defense of the Soviet
Union. The imperialist powers that
for years have been forging mill
tary ring around the Union of So
cialist Soviet Republics have now
decided to act. The reactionary
Chang Kai-shek government in
China, which but few months ago
attempted to drown the Chinese
revolution in blood, numbering hun
dreds of working class leaders and
smashing the Chinese trade unions,
is being used by the imperialist
powers to open the attack which is
designed to crush the first work
ers' and peasants state.

DEFENSE WEEK
"OPENS SATURDAY
Solidarity Festival for
Gastonia

Workers of New York, fighting
for the framed-up National Textile
Workers Union members, Is of
whom go on trial in a week for
murder, are rallying to the plans for
the Gastonia Defense and Relief
Week, July 27 to August 3, by
series of open air meetings next
week.
The first rally will be held Mon
day when Robert w. Dunn, of the
Labor Research Association; Grace
Hutchins, author of "Silk and La
bor"; Sylvan A. Pollack, editor of
Solidarity, W. 1. R. organ, and
others will speak on Monday, at
meetings to be held in front of the
Eagle Pencil Co. at noon; and at
Tenth street and Second avenue at
night.
Defense Week will be opened by
giant Solidarity Festival to be held
Saturday, July 27, at Pleasant Bay
Park, at which $4,000 workers will
pledge their solidarity with the Is
Gastonia National Textile Workers
Union members.
All working women are urged to
attend the festival by the Executive
Committee of the United Council of
Working Women. "Let the voice of
the New York working class ring
so loud it can be heard in the South.
All workers for the defense of the
Is Gastonia strikers" the message
reads. The demonstration includes
a symphony orchestra of SO, fire
works, moving pictures, and speeches
at o'clock by William z. Foster,
William w. Weinstone, Alfred Wa
genknecht, and Juliet Stuart Poyntz.
The campaign for million sigma
lures to be sent to Gastonia during
the trial is continuing throughout
the nation. LID. and W.LR
branches throughout the country
are collecting signatures at all work
ing class meetings. Signature col
lectors are visiting trade unions, and
labor, fraternal organization secur-
ing signatures.

DAILY FACES SERIOUS DANGER


The least the workers of the imperialist
countries, whose governments are back of
the war drive against the workers and peas
ants of the Soviet Union, can do is to aid in
strengthening their weapons against their
own capitalist class and its government.
Not only does every worker in the Soviet
Union, man or woman, stand ready to sacri-
flee his or her life for the revolution, but in
their everyday activity they display self
sacrificing devotion that should put to shame
those in imperialist countries who complain
of the least sacrifice to the revolutionary
cause. Every worker in the Soviet Union
is voluntarily giving not one days pay but
ONE WEEKS WAGES, to aid the struggle
against the imperialist invasion.
Surely anyone who calls himself revO-
lutionist in America can give one days pay
to help keep alive the Daily Worker. The
failure of Party member to meet his Obl-
CATION for one days wage is evidence of in
ability to understand the dangers involved in
the present critical world situation, it indi-
Gates capitulation before the capitalist class,
is form of degeneration. At all periods
characterized by sharp turn in the class
struggle such weaknesses reveal themselves.
At such time the Party must be alert to
detect and correct such defects. 1t is from
this point of view that failure to meet the
assessment must be regarded and under
stood. So sat2as
Every Party member, every reader, every
sympathizer must realize that the Daily is
still in very grave danger. Funds must be
sent in or the Daily will have to suspend.
This is the plain, blunt, unadorned truth.
Rush funds at once to the Daily Worker,
26 Union Square, New York
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-07-23

When on Saturday the Daily Worker re-
turned to the publication of six pages daily
instead of four we were perfectly frank with
our readers and Party members when we
plainly stated that this change was made be-
cause of the demands of the international
situation, not because the response to our
appeals for funds had been sufficient to
enable us safely to take on the additional
financial burden.
By resuming publication of six pages the
Daily Worker remained true to the revOlu-
tionary tradition it has established in the
labor mOvement-never to count the cost
when we face the enemy, but to fight with
every means at hand.
Today we face not merely the threat of
a world war, but at this moment the war of
the imperialist powers of the world is actual
ly being waged against the Soviet Union.
That the war is thus far being waged openly
with the vile instrument of Chinese banditry,
under gang of murderers, highwaymen and
thieves called the Chang Kai-shek govern
ment, does not for moment indicate that
the great powers of the world are not back
of the bandits. Everyone knows that the
Chang Kai-shek government hasn't suffi-
cient power of its own to wage any sort of
war. The fact that it has organized cam
paign of war against the Soviet Union is
alone evidence that behind that monstrOus
government that waded to power through
rivers of blood of the working class and
peasantry of China is backed by Wall Street,
Lombard Street, and the imperialists, great
and small, of the world
The resistance of the workers and peas
ants of the Soviet Union to the war of ex-
termination that has been let loose against
them is defense of the interests of the
working class of the whole world.

GASTONIA, N. c., July 22.-
With less than syeek before the
date set for the trial on charges of
murder of Is textile mill strikers
and organizers, now in CASTOR
County Jail, and trial on assault
charges of eight more now out on
bail, the International Labor De-
fense redoubled it's efforts for legal
defense, and the National Textile
Workers Union speeded up its or
ganization campaign.
Walter Trumbull, LID. represen-
tative in Charlotte, with B. N. Camp,
N.T.W.U. organizer, left today for
tour of the largest Carolina and
Tennessee mill centers, to organize.
Local unions of the N.T.W. will be
built, shop committees organized,
delegates elected to the great South
ern Textile Workers Conference in
Bessemer City July 28. At the same
time, branches of the International
Labor Defense will be built in the
mills.
Bosses Fear Organization
The bosses are desperately afraid
of the organizing campaign now on
in full swing, of which Trumbull and
Camp are but part. They are try
ing to stop the meetings, and are
especially active trying to buy up
the ground which meetings can be
held, but have not succeeded in pre-
venting them.
Local 68 of the National Textile
Workers Union held meeting near
Gastonia today, which in spite of
, rain, was big success. The men,
bers stood in the downpour until Of
ficers were elected, and the regular
business transacted, including selec-
tion of delegates for the Bessemer
conference.
Similar meetings took place in
four mills today.

One of the most active strikers in

The need for relief and medical
care for these sick is still urgent.
Funds for relief and defense can be

State Stimson, through the French
ambassador, Claudel, today.
The Soviet Union emphasizes
again that the first Workers Re-
public has not invaded Manchuria.
This brands as lies the whole series
of rumors set on foot by Chinese
war lords and imaginative and war
mongering American press services.
The world has been filled with con-
slant new tales of "Red Army in
vasions," at Manchuli, at Pogran-
ichnaya, at Blagovestchensk, and
other points on or near the Man
churian border. AS fast as one
story is admitted to be false, an
other is concocted.
Will Defend Border.
The U. S. S. R., in its note to
Stimson, makes clear that no mill
tary attack on Manchurian territory
is contemplated, unless the Chinese
militarists' troops, or White Guard
Russians in their employ, invade the
Soviet Union.
The note rejects Foreign Minister
Brands offer to arbitrate the dis
pute, and points out that the seizure
of the Chinese Eastern Railway in
utter defiance of treaty rights de-
stroys the basis for negotiations,
and demands the return of the
"status quo."
Stimson had united Japan, France,
England and U. S. in a treacherous
attack on the U. S. S. R. by remind
ing that country that it must not
attack China, reminding China with
an appearance of fairness that it
must not attack the U. S. S. R., but
saying nothing about the return of
