ALL. Boasts
1t Brings Home
Bacon TO Boss

Writing in exactly the language
used by Sherman Service and other
stool-pigeon agencies, Gilbert Hyatt,
of 1.-THE International Labor News
Service, warns the textile barons to
employ the ALL. to keep their
workers down, or the "Reds" will
get there first" Hyatt says frnkly:
"First-he present rebellion of
the workers is widespread and de-
termined uprising against funda-
mental and bearable evils.
Second - These workers are
showing an astonishingly clear real
ization that organization is their
only salvation and that trained lead
ership is necessary to make this eff
fective."
"The Communists are alert to the
situation and are endeavoring to
capitalize it with their usual per-
sistency. ;"
Anxious to Serve.
Hyatt quotes Jonn reel, VICE
president of the North Carolina
State Federation of Labor as saying:
eff the mill owners in their stupid
ity could be made to realize what
we know of the temper of their
workers they would send delegations
to Washington to beg President
Green to come South at once to or
ganize the mills"
Hyatt ends his solemn warning:
"But, so sure as there are more
Marions, by that same token, there
will be mere Gastonias. The mill
owners can either take their trade
union bacon or their Communist
mustard. And the Reds will see
they take it straight"

New Flare-Up of War
Between Bolivia and
Paraguay Over ChacO

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The
Paraguayan legation here was in
structed today by the government at
Asuncion to make strong represent
tatior- to the United States govern
ment," charging that Bolivian Sold
diers in the disputed Chaco terri
tory attacked Paraguayan outpost,
killing one Paraguayan soldier. The
attack occurred on January 16.
This new flare-up between Bolivia
and Paraguay illustrates the falsity
of the supposed "peace" fixed up
more than one year ago at Wash
ington by the Pan-American Union,
otherwise known as the machinery
of the Monroe Doctrine. 1t also
shows that this conflict. which con-
ceals the rivalry between the United
States and British interests in South
America, is live danger point for
the outbreak of a new world war.

Rapid Organization in

Shop committees are being organ

branches of the Metal Trades Work
ers Industrial League Of the Trade
Union Unity League are coming into
existence, left wing groups are
forming inside the machinists' I'M

principle metal centers-all in prep
aration for series of district con-
ferences of the league, and ma

Answer to Wage Cuts.
The organization that precedes
and will reach high point at the
conferences is the answer of the
steel workers, particularly, to the
campaign of wage-cutting and speed
up and unemployment that pervades
the whole metal industry.
Some of the shop committees are
in the Youngstown Steel and Tube,
Pittsburgh Iron and Steel Company,
Sun Shipyards and Westinghouse
plants.
Thousands of leaflets are being is
sued, exposing the reasons for the
rotten conditions, and popularizing
the program of the league and its
campaign. The basis
is quickly being laid for one indus
trial union in the metal industry in
the U. S.
Also in Old Unions.

secondly, these demonstrations
have checked in some degree
the terror and forced the
Mexican governmental tools of Wall
Street to moderate their savage
onslaught. Undoubtedly the Mexi-
can government will continue its at
tack, but more circumspectly. Con-
tinued solidarity of U. S. workers is
asked against the remaining perse-
cutions.
These are the conclusions drawn

Maybe it is the first time in the
history of our movement, that the
Mexican working class felt so
strongly the solidarity of the work
