EGYPTIAN MASSES IN
CLASH WITH FORCES OF

$50 Wounded and IA Killed in Desperate Fight

Masses in General Strike Disregard Wafdist

pleaded, when the strike was called,
that the strikers SHOULD not in any
wise break the peace" But these
words sound like treachery in the
ears of the Egyptian masses which,
completely disregarding the "ad-
vice" of the Wafdists, burst into
militant struggles with the imper-
ialist soldiers and police.
At midday on Tuesday, July Is,
the square of Mohamed Ali in AL
exandria, where the demonstration
took place, was turned into a battle
ground between the demonstrators,
the police and soldiers, who were
called to the scene in emergency.
Volleys of bullets were fired into
the crowd by the soldiers, and the
demonstrators, far from being in
Inundated, returned the fight with
whatever weapon they could get
hold of. Windows were broken and
an army truck was upset by the
demonstrators and burst into flames
in the middle of the square. The
fierce character of the battle is
shown by the fact that $50 per-
sons were wounded and IA killed.
The first bugles of an Egyptian
mass revolt have been sounded. Let

servants, the social fascist Mac

MEMS CLOTHING
WORKERS RALLY
Hundreds At Cooper
Union Back N.T.W.I.U.

NEW YORK.-Despite the trick
of the Hillman clique in advertising
the disbursement of $4,000 to I'M
employed mems clothing workers, in
an attempt to keep thousands of
needle workers from mass meeting
called by the Needle Trades Work
ers Industrial Union, more than 500
men clothing workers enthusiastic
ally endorsed the intensive campaign
to organize the industry and smash
the bosses company union, the Am
algamated Clothing Workers, at a
mass meeting in Cooper Union at 7
p. m. last night.
Call for Struggle.
Needle trades workers leaders,
veterans in many bitter battles
with the bosses and their agents,
hammered at the need for the orga-
nization of shop committees, and a
shop delegate conference for gen
uine rank and file control of the
union.
A shop delegate conference is to
be called in the near future for the
purpose of working out a program
of shop organization and strike
struggle.
Worsening Conditions.
Describing the worseninp condi-
tons the mems clothing workers are
forced to labor under, j. Hertz,
chairman of the meeting, told of
the role of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers as the speed-up, wage
cutting agents of the bosses.
Demand End of Piece Work.
Urging the assembled needle
workers to organize for fight
against the life-sapping piece work,
introduced by the Hilman company
union, A. Sazru stressed the inn
portance of building shop commit
tees in the Hillman controlled 81 ops.
Greeted by a big ovation, Ben
Gold, secretary of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union, called
upon the workers to Immediately
spur the drive to organize the shops
and to prepare for strike in an in
tensive struggle to smash the bosses
company union and restore condi-
tons in the industry.
Thousands Jobless.
More thousands unemployed than
those still in the shops, with wage
reductions an almost daily occur
renee, and speed-up pushed to an
unbearable point, the mems clothing
workers are again surging forward
to bitter struggles against the
bosses, Louis Hyman, president of
the N. T. W. I. u, declared.

"The Big House" at Aston
Tense Film OF Prison Lite

One of the more important films
of the season "The Big House" now
at the Astor Theatre, can rightfully
be called the epic film of prison
life. Never before has the day by
day activities of the prisoners in
any large institution been so we'll
described on the screen. With the
exception of several minor episodes
it is a rather truthful portrayal
and for that reason must be given
earnest consideration.
After describing the various
phases of life within the prison, we
see the inmates attempt to secure
their liberation by prison break.
This part of the picture follows
closely many of the actual prison
revolts that have taken place dur
ing the last year. In many ways it
equals the fine scenes to be found
in THE Last Mile" yet that play
is on the whole the superior of the
present film. That does not in the
least mean that the film is not a
good one. Insofar as it's theme is
concerned, no other picture has yet
been made that can even be con-
sidered as its rival.
One of the greatest faults that
can be charged against the picture
is that it had to compromise itself
by forcing in love interest, when
the picture would have been much
better off without it. While it does
not do the picture any great harm,
it seems like an unnecessary growth
that should be cut off.
The film has definite characters,
the outstanding one being none
other than the old reliable Wallace
Berry. His portrayal of the leader
of the Jail outbreak is the outstand-
ing achievement of his long and
varied career. The rest of the cast
IS equally good. 1t includes Chester
Morris, who plays the part of one
of the inmates, who when the revolt
takes place, betrays his comrades
and allies himself with the prison
authorities. He is not the only
traitor, as one of the other leading
characters is played by Fletcher
Norton who has the role of Oliver,
a stool pigeon. Others in the large
cast are Karl Dane, Robert Mont
gomery, Lewis Stone and Leila
Hyams.
George Hill directed the film and
deserves great credit for the mas
terful work on his part. 1t is a film
he can well be proud of.

Great Crowd Gathers

NEW YORK.-Four arrests
failed to stop picketing by the

out. Myerson, the business agent
of the A. F. of L. union, Local 500,

The official denial issued by the

NEW YORK. - The Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union
yesterday issued the following
statement exposing the hypocrisy
of the Schlesinger racketeering GEES
ture:
"The cry of racketeering raised
by the officials of the so-called
International Ladies Garm mt
Workers Union, is nothing more
than the old cutlery "catch the
thief" 1t is evident that these
officials are seeking to divert the
attention from the real cause of the
assault on David Fruhling, namely
a fight for booty. Moreover it is
significant that these officials sud
denly discover racketeering now,
when one of their henchmen is
stabbed.
IL. G. w. Right In 1t.
"The fact of the matter is that
racketeering in the clothing trades
has been going on for long time
and the officials of the international
Ladies Garnet Workers Union were
not only aware of it's existence but
were also the first partners to the
business"
at is no secret in the District
Attorneys office that the gangsters
for whom the I. L. G. w. U. Off
Gals are now supposedly looking
had been in the latter's pay roll
for a long time, and especially dur
ing the so-called cloak and dress

eered by the union" officials and
the employers Association to sell
out the workers.
During the so-called dress strike
in 1880, David Fruhling, who was
recently stabbed, was chairman OF
the so-called organization commit
tee, consisting exclusively of motor
ious New York and Philadelphia
gangsters, who freely terrorized
and assaulted the workers.
"The partnership of the l. L. G.
W. U. officials and the gangsters
in the racket got along nicely SO
long as they succeeded through
terror and intimidation in extorting
enough tribute from the workers
to divide.
"Now, however, the workers are
revolving against their miserable
sweat shop conditions and the rack
ct union, the I. L. G. w. u, that
forced these conditions upon them
Naturally the funds are running
low in the racket union. There is
not enough for both officials and
gangsters, and therefore, the fight
for the booty is on, and David
Fruhling, the leader of the gang, is
the first victim.
"The Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union is leading the work
ers in the fight against the racket
eering l. L. G.. W. U. and the
rangsters and mobilizing all cloth
ing workers for a mass struggle

late and actually made better time than
Enterprise), while Resolute showed her
heels to Yankee, faint airs finally
brisking up to is miles.
On August 4 the four new boats had
a jolly contest in areas of 10 miles from
Brentons Reef Lightship to Malta
poisett (these races being incidental to
the New York Yacht Club fleet cruise);
spanking breezes and high seas. The
conditions were peculiarly congen1al to
the Yankee, which won, as expected,
but the feature of the contest was the
excellent showing of the Enterprise.
Regarded as light air craft, she tralled
the Yankee by only 20 seconds, while
the Whirlwind (regarded as welcoming
heavy weather. trailed her by II sec
onds, the Weetamoe being bad last,
partly because of delay in picking up
hand who went overheard.
On August over triangular course
on Bush Heads Bay, in a light, fiuky
breeze, the Enterprise won, leading
Weetamoe by about 2I2 minutes, the
Yankee following by 18 seconds and
Whirlwind trailing Yankee by about 2 p
minutes. Once more the Enterprise
showed superiority in all-around work
On August 6, in run of 81 miles in
