wages.
Great numbers of penniless
workers walk the streets abso-
lutely starving, and sleep on
the bare floor of the concrete
basement of the City Hall.
This meeting today was a Coun-
Gil of the Unemployed, and you
should have heard the pitiful stories
of tramping the streets and roads
looking for jobs that are not to be
found because of the speed-up hav-
ing put some on the street while a
few are driven crazy by the slave
driving bosses.
The new machinery, too, which
should have made life easier, as it
has done in the Soviet Union, only
makes it worse in this damnable
capitalist system of speed-up and
stretch-out. The workers and their
families are actually starving.
In every industry here in Chat
tanooga, each worker is doing two
mems work, toiling for ten and
twelve hours a day for $40 or $12
a week. The workers all want
union, with the employed and I'M
employed united. The T. U. U. L.
headquarters here is at 2207 White
side Street.
Good connections here are being
made by the T. U. U. L., about 40
workers Joined the T.U.UL. the
first day and we are having mass
meeting Saturday evening advertis-
ing the new hall and office, located
in the heart of the metal industry.

War M0neMvey

PARIS, Feb. 6.-"General" Ivan
Miller, czarist white-guard success
sor to A. P. Koutepoff, who disap-
peared with money of the czarist
organization in Paris, is instigating
further anti-Soviet scurrilous arti-
cles in the capitalist press here.
Several wild, hair-brained stories
were handed out to the press by
czarist agents concerning the muir
der and burial of Koutepoff. Dill
gent search by the Paris police, who
are acting with the enemies of the
Soviet Union, proved these tales
false.
Meanwhile the French imperialists
are leaning toward a break with the
Soviet Union in furtherance of the
war plans against the U.S.S.R. be-
ing devised at the race-for-arma-
ment meet in London. Premier
Andre Tardieu is keeping in close
touch with developments, he an
nounced, and the semi-official
newspaper, lie Temps, openly de-
mands a break with the Workers
Republic.
Mass meetings are being called by
the czarist and Kerensky groups to
incite further hatred against the So
Wet Union. Active support is given
these elements by the capitalist
newspapers.

RUb|O REVIEWS
Terror REIGN
Wall St. Tool Pushes
Drive on Workers

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 6.-Daniel
Flores, young Intellectual, and follow
er of the petty bourgeois candidate
Jose Vasconcelos, for the Mexican
presidency in the last election, de-
clared that his attempts on the life
of the Wal Street tool, Ortiz Rubio,
was personal act.
Using as pretext of the attempt
ed assassination by Flores, the Rubio
government is instituting a wide
spread reign of terror against the
revolutionary workers and peasants.
More than 20 people have been ar
rested up to date. Their names
have not been published, but I'M
doubtedly Rubio will order an in
creased suppression against the
Communist Party, Young Commu-
mist League, and revolutionary trade
unions who are most active in ex-
posing his affiliations with Morgan
G. Co., Hoover, Lamont and Morrow.
The deepest sympathy was ex-
pressed for the health of Rubio, who
lies in hospital, apparently out of
danger with bullet-hole in his jaw,
by the most reactionary elements Of
Mexico and the United States. The
Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz F Flores,
Popish delegate, who cemented the
bonds between the feudal church and
the Gil-Calles-Rubio government.
Dwight Morrow, Wall Street ambas-
sador to Mexico, now in London pre-
pairing war plans on the Soviet
Union, were among those who sent
kilograms of condolation.
At the time the 30 members of the
Central Committee of the Commu-
mist Party and Young Communist
League of Mexico were arrested and
tortured in Rubio's prison dens,
there were some 80 or 40 Vasconcel-
lists imprisoned. These were brought
before Portes Gil, then acting presi-
dent, and given their liberty on the
promise of support to the Ortiz
Rubio government. The Communists
and revolutionary trade unionists
were either deported or sent to the
Maria Islands for life imprisonment.

TAKE over THE
DRESS "STR|KE!'
.TUUL Statement Calls
For Workers to Act

The craft unions in the needle
industry, in conjunction with the
clothing bosses, the banks, the state
and city government and the ma
tional leaders of the A. F. of L., are
carrying on an open conspiracy to
company-unionize the needle indus
try. The aim is to reestablish the
discredited craft organizations and
leaders in the industry and to carry
through the bosses program of
more wage cuts, more speed-up,
more slave-like conditions of the
workers" stated the National Com
mittee of the Trade Union Unity
League, yesterday, and continued:
"The latest step in this process of
company-unionization is the present
New York dress "strike." In this
strike it is aimed to do what was
done in the recent cloak STRIKE to
dragon as many workers as pos
sible under the control of the Schles-
niger bureaucracy of the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union, which means under the DOM
nation of the bosses. The dress
STRIKE which is in reality lock-
out organized by the united front
of employers and A. F. of L. lead
ers, was openly endorsed by the
clothing bosses, the police, the So
cialist party, state and local Tam
many Hall politicians, etc. The
capitalist press gave it the widest
publicity.
They Distrust ALL.
"But only about 5000 workers
out of total of $4,000 in the in
dustry have responded to the call,
and most of these were actually
locked out, forced out of the shops
by the gangsters. This miserable
showing indicates that the workers
refuse to follow the leadership of
the discredited Schlesinger union.
The workers in the dress trade suf-
fer from the most burning griev-
ances, but they know that the A. +.
of L. will not fight for their inter-
ests. The very combination of po-
lice, politicians, employers, capital
list newspapers and corrupt union
officials behind the Strike" is suf-
ficient proof for them that the So
called strike is not in their behalf.
They refused to put the halter
around their own necks. They
realize that only the Needle Trades

sents and fights for them. That is

The supply of farm labor is Is per
cent higher than the demand, Oh

considers this due largely to the un-

Since the statistics were gathered,

On Fashions

By Wilma La Vile

Modern life has brought
about many new types Of
clothes. We live so differently
from the people of other gen.
erations that we have to have
clothes that are adaptable.
Business women often go
straight from the office to din.
ner, so that we must have
costumes in our wardrobe that
will do for either or both.
The costumes we are sketch
ing today are particularly good
for these double occasions. With
their jackets on they are digni-
fled daytime clothes, suitable
for business, shopping and
luncheon downtown. They are
formal enough to go to tea and
with their packets off they
make excellent dinner or thea
ter dresses.
The frock sketched on the
left is of black crepe with egg
shell wool lace top. 1t also
comes in other color combina-
tions. The jacket is as attrac-
tive as the frock. The costume
on the right is Of flat crepe
with tiny dots Of silver and
eggshell. The Scalloped bolero
comes off and reveals a sleeve
less frock. This dress is most
attractive also and will fill
any number Of needs. Both
these frocks conform to the
newest fall and winter lines
and are extremely graceful in
the way they fit and flatter the
figure. Furthermore, they are
both inexpensively priced and
will fit into a budget pocket
