 Usual 1ieup Of Traffic TWO SLIGHT ACCIDENTS
Four Autos Involved in Berlin and Kensington Mishaps - Spelling Contest Ticket Arrangements - Shower For Miss Dalton.

The heavy rain Of last night caused considerable inconvenience to persons finding 1t necessary to travel along the highway in the vicinity of the kcnsington railroad underpass as the usual flood condition was very much in evidence and q long string of cars were forced to await the passing of the waters while pedes- trians found the only available crossing 10 be by way ot the tracks Of the New Haven road.
 Several of the most impatient Of the drivers who happened along at the time of the shower took the chance of driving through the water, any all these more hardy souls got through after much difficulty but the majority were content to wait rather than risk the danger of stall- ing their vehicles in the center Of the flood and going for swim,
 The usual complaints about the poor drainage at this point were heard during the waiting period and many plans were "unofficially dis cussed" by the interested parties.

strikes lately and have been sold out
by their leaders. The Federal Mill
was a betrayal, as picketing was
prohibited and the unskilled workers
were refused membership in the
union. The Ajax Mill strike was
sellout and in the past President
Geiger and the Hosiery Workers
Union have endorsed, sponsored
and advocated Mitten's company
union and the leadership of the
Central Labor Council have en-
dorsed the labor-hater Judge Nc
Dewitt who is a stakeholder in sew
eral mills and a republican gang
politician and issues these corpora
tons bosses injunctions.
Any worker who at this time can
not see that this latest is a sell-out
again and the ending of the union,
refuses to see it. The Aberle mill
is the most important and biggest
of the hosiery mills in Philadelphia.
Unless the workers refuse to accept
the sell-out and elect mill commit
tees to control and settle their own
strikes and refuse to accept the de-
cision of the Board of Arbitration
which is composed of professional
politicians and an official of the
Metal Manufacturers Association, an
enemy of labor, this fink and bust
ness association will not even hire
a worker who belongs to an A. F.
of L. fake union.
Sell-Out Brings Big Reductions.
The terms of the sell-out are as
follows: 20 percent reduction for
double leggers, so percent reduction
for logger helpers, one third reduc-
ton for footers and footers helpers.
All others to get big slash and the
scabs to remain at work. The union
men to be taken when needed, at
present they are not.
Aberle made secret arrange
ment with the takers who head the
A. F. of L. union. He promised a
double shift later, when at present
he is laying off due to speed-up.
But in spite of the betrayal the mil
liant workers will continue to strug-
gle and fight to affiliate with the
TUUL to which the NTWU is affil-
lated whose policy is struggle
against the bosses, as the NTWU
is an industrial union which or
ganizes all the textile workers and
is based on shop and mill commit
tees who control and settle their
own strikes and the leaders of the
NTWU are fighters who fight
against the bosses and are feared
and hated by the bosses and their
tools, the A. F. of L. labor takers.

miners in Illinois, the agricultural
workers in the Imperial Valley in
California and the unemployed dem
onstrations on March 6? This does
not show that the workers have lost
their fighting spirit.
But all this means nothing to the
yellow socialists and the scabby
Wobbly takers, and why? Because
the bosses don't like it, for they
know that by strikes and demon
strations the workers will develop
militant class-consciousness and
class-leadership, and this means the
end of the bosses. This is why they
are bowling against the strikes and
demonstrations. But the workers
cannot lose their fighting spirit to
fight the bosses, their company
unions and the labor takers.

Say Workers Have
Lost Spirit
.(Bp a Worker Coyrespopdent)

-(By Worker Correspondent
/ SEATTLE, Wash.-Let's unite
under some company union, says the
1. w. w. press in Seattle, Wash,
the so-called Industrial Worker of
April in its Wages slump as Or
ganization spirit fails" 1t goes on
to say this: IF we have lost the
fighting spirit, let's unite under
some company union. Any kind of
organization would have prevented
this general wage-cut. So let's get
busy, decide what should be done
ana do it now"
IW.W. Openly For Company Unions
This bosses guttersnipe now
openly advocates company union
ism, and who are the company
unions? Chamber of Commerce,
Lumbermen's Association, Loyal
Legion Lumbermen and Loggers.
At the last convention the bosses
agents set a scale of $500 a day,
where others were paying up to $4
a day. The principle and rule of
the company unions is to make more
profits for the bosses. To the work
ers the company union means
Ispeed-up, gyp system, wage-cuts,
clearing house and blacklist.
.'''' A Record of Scabbery.
Not only do the |. w. w. leaders
lie and sheer on the only Workers
Government and true revolutionary
Communist International, but they
become actual scabs. In 1920 they
scabbed on the longshoremen's
strike in Portland, Ore; in 1927 they
betrayed the strike in Colorado; in
1929 they scabbed on the National
Miners Union in Collinsville, H.,
also on the Canadian Lumber Work
ers' Union at Shebaqua, Ont. They
sabotage the relief and defense or
CARNATIONS, such as the Interna-
tional Labor Defense and Workers
International Relief, also the unem-
ployed demonstration of February
26 and March by shouting Don't
go out, for you will get a police
mans club raped over your head
and blacklisted in the soup-line; you
have nothing to gain by taking part
in demonstrations, for that is poll
tics; your place is on the point of
production"
The funny part about those fax
ers is that they wouldn't recognize
the point of production with high
powered telescope. They started to
organize the world in 1905 with
about $4,000 members, and now they
are down to few professional an
archist stew bummers and takers.
"The workers have lost their
fighting spirit" says the fake "In-
dustrial Worker" The workers
have not lost their fighting spirit,
They are fighting harder now than
they ever did. How about the tex
tile strikes in Gastonia, N. c.;
Elizabethtown, New Orleans street
Garments strike, the food workers
and shoe workers in New York, the
