Miller, the boss of Millers market,

food clerks continue to picket this

used their guns there, and the
housewives of the neighborhood show
such solidarity for the strike and
such antipathy for the blood stained
Miller's Market, that Miller is going

Yesterday, too, the women came
down and fought for the picket

own capitalistic fists.
The police arrested the picket,
who refused to give ground, the
women who helped him, and because

RYK0V WARNS OF
WAR ON SOVIET
Prepare War for God
and the Kulaks

Moscow reports of the United
Press Monday night quoted Alexis
Rykov, in speech made to the con-
gress of the Osoviakhim, as declar-
ing that preparations for war were
being made abroad against the So
Wet Union. The Osoaviakhim, the
popular organization of 100000
members for aviatory and chemical
defense, was told that just as previ-
Gus international intervention had
been caused by suppression of car
ism, the landlords and capitalists,
the new war would be on armed in
PREVENTION in behalf of capitalism.
Stressing the hypocritical cam
paign against the Soviet on religious
grounds, Rykov was quoted as say
ing: "They are protecting God
against suppression by the Bolshe-
viks and against confiscation of his
properties. They are really inter-
ested in protecting the kulaks erich
farmers)."
The "Izvestia," commenting upon
the congress and the danger of
armed attack on the Soviet Power,
is quoted as saying: eve do not
want war, but we do not fear the i'm
perialists. At Rostov on the Don,
an explosion in the government flour
mill, which killed six workers, is re-
ported as possibly due to another
of the many plots to sabotage So
Wet industry by imperialist agents.

"The mine disaster at Standard

istic of the American capitalist
class" declared William 2. Foster,

sit is in striking contrast to the
conditions that prevail in the Soviet
Union where every effort is made
to protect the lives of workers.
"Man-killing speed-up, reckless
disregard of safety precautions
this is part of the bible of the
American coal operators. The bloody
fruits of this policy is the frightful
toll of miners killed and injured on
the job each year. And cooperating

one of the main halls at the Work

The main purpose of the meeting

"a weeks; to mobilize for a wide
campaign to carry the union into

could quit unless he would take a
