POLICE RALLY TO
WE|SBORD'S AID
Memorial Of Haywood
Big Success

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May 10.
The Haywood Memorial meetings
here were big success, textile work
ers, some of them men and women
who had followed the leadership of
big Bill' Haywood in the famous
Lawrence strike, rallied to carry or
the work of organizing the textile
mills, and to protest the death pIor
on Powers and Carr in Atlanta.
The hall was full and workers
waited from p. m. until p. m.
for the speakers, who were being
arrested by police who co-operated
with Weisbord, Keller and Ruben
stein in the attempt to hold counter
meeting in another hail.
The Lovestoneites usurped the
name of the National Textile work
ers Union to draw workers into
their meeting, but when it started,
there were present only 20 anar-
chists, twelve detectives and three
patrolmen, outside of a few workers
who came there to protest against
the Misrepresentation of the Ma
poleonic Weisbord.
The police arrested these workers
as soon as they raised their voices
to demand the floor, and Weisbord
went on to demand a new convention
Of the N.T.W., one that would not
repudiate him like the big second
convention held in Paterson did.
Weisbord was just saying he be-
lieved in throwing out of the union
leaders who would not fight, when
some one sitting in the small audi
ence said very clearly, 1--WE did"
Then William Murdoch, acting or
ganization secretary of the N.T.W.
came in and demanded to know what
was going on. He was arrested at
once, and each worker who rose to
ask the floor was also arrested. They
are: Eulalie G. Mendez, local secre-
tary of the N.T.W.; j. Rappaport,
district organizer of the N.T.W.;
Leyaeiras, Freiras and Papas.
They are held for hearing We'd
nesday, and Weisbord, Rubenstein
and Keller have been summoned by
he prosecution to testify against
them.
During the meeting, a worker,
Pelser, whose name had been ap-
pended to the Weisbord meeting call
rose and denounced him, and dis
avowed the signature and the whole
Iovestone program.
The N.T.W. has issued state
ment scoring Weisbord's tactics, and
the arrests. The union called

A Paris dispatch to the Chicago

1880 coolies carrying red flags
surrounded the administrative chief
of the province of Sedac while he
was making an inspection tour of
the village of Tan Douna." Troops
were rushed from Seigon and many
arrests were made. This important
event gives further evidence of the
great headway which the revolu-
tionary movement against French
imperialism has made in Indo-
China.
According to L'Humanite, the Of
ficial organ of the Communist
Party of France, revolt is envelop-
ing the whole of ndo-China, espe-
.cially Annam and Tongking. The
textile workers in Cochin-China are
reported to be particularly militant.
Railway workers and coolies on
many plantations are striking. The
red flag of revolt is being waved
and the International" sung in
many places throughout Indo-
China.

Capitalist press reports from
Cuba tell of a bloody clash between
the troops of the fascist dictator
Machado, and a crowd of the bour-

"Nationalists" at Artemisa, near
Havana, four being killed and 20
wounded, among the dead being an
army lieutenant and a captain.
