French Bosses Stir Up
Anti-Soviet Hate

PARIS, Feb. 9.-The French capi-

hatred against the Soviet Union
over the Disappearance of the car
ist general, Koutepoff. The sudden
migration of Koutepoff with a good
ly sized lump of cash from the treas

the war plans of the imperialist pow

The FAKE PEACE
Industrial Union Leads
Real Dress Strike

:, While the jobbers, inside manu-
facturers, contractors, and the In
ternational Ladies Garment Work
ers officials continue to work out
final phraseology in their agree
ment, and decide when to "spring
it," the Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union calls on the locked
out dressmakers to get ready for
the real fight:
Latest reports from the sessions
in the Commodore Hotel, where that
Lieutenant Governor Lehman, the
man who officiated for the capital
lists in general when the company
program was put over on the cloak
makers recently, was urging the
bosses and labor traitors to take a
chance, and as long as all essential
points were already decided upon
before the strike started, go ahead
and tell the bad news to the dress
makers.
Jobbers Worry.
There were reported to be some
differences growing up between the
jobbers and the contractors, how
ever. AS soon as they saw the fake
strike was much more of failure
than they had expected, the jobbers
began to hunt for excuses for back
ing out of the conspiracy. It is too
early to tell just how far they will
go, or what concessions they will
demand, but sooner or later, and
probably sooner, some one will find
way for the workers caught in
the company union trap to pay for
whatever concessions are made.

Textile Strike
IN Paterson at
Call OF Board

PATERSON, N. j., Feb. 9.-Rank
and file delegates took the floor at
the Sunday afternoon session of the
National Textile Workers Union
district convention and described in
vivid shop talk the worsening con-
ditions in silk mills and dye houses,
and the workers readiness for
strike struggle. Earlier sessions
were occupied with reports from all
departments. On a preliminary
count over go delegates had regis
tered from shops and mills. The
convention voted for a general strike
in Paterson, preparations to be
made by the District Board of the
union.
On the platform sat council of
nine, elected by the convention, in
cluding three workers from dye
shops, representative of the broad
silk department, jacquard work
er, a woman worker and /. Bart,
youth representative. A dye work
er was chairman of the first ses-
sion, 1. Bart of the second session,
and the Italian organizer, Joseph
Magliacano, of the third session.
Sophie Sprechman was elected sec
retary of the convention.
81 Hour Shift!
"Hell-holes along the riverside"
was the expression used to describe
conditions in the dye plants. Hours
are unspeakably long, even running
to 24-32 hour shift at the end of
the week. Fumes, acids and steam
ing air make the dye rooms con-
slant menace to the health of the
workers.

LONDON, Feb. 9.-The hypoc-

America and England, who claim
that they are absolutely opposed
to submarines, is shown by the ad-
mission that, "they know they can
not get abolition" so they viii,
therefore, in the case of the United
States, urge the building of bigger

The treason" they cannot get
abolition" of submarines, is because
France, Japan and Italy are op-
posed. Thus the British and Ameri-
cans can play SANITY roles" as hu-
manitarians, and still keep their
submarines, in fact can go ahead

. News that Lube was going to play
brought all the other cripples around
the place asking for places in the line
up. Though Wheelock still was in such
pain that he couldn't bear for any one
to lay hand on him, he insisted: If
you can fix Lubo so he can play, coach,
you can fix me, too"
I couldn't very we'll argue with him,
for it was also known that EXedine, his
ankle heavily tapped, was going in. We

probably would suffer less than in any

Well, 1 won't describe that Cornell
game. just want to say that Vince
lock and Lubo held their own against
one of the most powerful lines in the
country that year. They personally
broke up a guards-back formation
which was one of the Ithacans' main
reliances.
At the finish they stood the middle
of the Cornell line on its heels and per-
mitted Fullback Williams to hurdle over
for a touchdown that won the game.
At this stage Wheelock could endure
no more. He had to be carried off tie
field in agony. But Lubo stuck ii
through. And was he happy when We
left the field 10 to 6 winners? Was he!
I think those boys deserve equal
credit. Their devotion to their school
was wonderful. Still, it was Lubo who
started things.

chuck, as good center as there was
anywhere, was laid up with injuries
from which he couldn't possibly recover
before the Cornell game.
How was to revamp a team which
wasn't any too strong in substitutes
after such losses? Well, it was little
Lube who showed the way out. Actual
ly, what he did was one OF the epics
of sport history.
Lubo had been our left tackle the
year before. But in the Navy game his
left wrist was smashed and cut open.
1t didn't seem to heal The doctors
thought he had a tubercular infec-
ton. So he was ordered out of foot
ball. his arm was kept in a sling and
he was told to indulge in no more
violent exercise than walking.
But he was bear for foot ball. He
hung around the team in practice and
at all games and, of course, learned
every signal and every play. 1t was
pitiful. That game arm of his was
shriveled away almost to mere bone.
Four nights before the Cornell game
Lubo took matters into his own hands.
A knock brought me to my door. There
stood the Indian.
Coach" he said directly, "I want
to play in that Cornell game. know
Wheelock and Shochuck are out of it.
I'd like to go in for you and for the
school,"
Not with that arm" I said.

could play.
