The Census Bureau and Chester

CONDITIONS for the workers in Chester are
worse today than they were last winter.
Five hundred men stand in front of the Sun
Shipyard each morning hoping to get job.
Thousands have been laid off at Ford, Baldwin
and other smaller plants.
The Census Bureau gives the false number
of 1878 unemployed in Chester. Ford himself
laid off a couple of thousand workers. And
along with unemployment come wage cuts.
At the Irving Wooden Mills on and after June
End reduction of 1870 will be made on all
piece and time work rates and the mill
threatens to close down unless this cut is
accepted .
And Only 1878!
Saturday evening Anna Burlak was the
speaker at a mass meeting called to protest
the Atlanta outrages against the Southern
workingcass fighters. The workers were
enthusiastic and pledged themselves to support
the International Labor Defence. A perma-
nent committee was elected to organize
campaign to demand the release of the Atlanta
prisoners. picnic is planned by the Chester
branch of the |. l.. d. on Sunday, July 20. at

the eyes of the American workers by telling
them that the Soviet Union is using cheap and
convict labor. In this way the employers are
trying to cover up their own crime against
the workers, whose wages are slashed to the
point of starvation.
Bosses Attack.
At the same time the powers to be in all
the capitalist countries, including the United
States, are waging a bitter and savage at
tack on all those who sincerely oppose the war
preparations and who militantly fight against
the war danger. Militant workers opposed to
war imprisoned by the thousands and
their organizations declared outlawed. This
attack on the militant workers is part and
parcel of the preparations for the new i'm
perialist VIZ and for an attack on the Soviet
Union.
The International Labor Defense, in line
with the policy of the International Red Aid
the world over, joins hands with all the other
forces opposing the war designs of the imper-
alist powers. 1t calls upon all it's members,
district organizations, branches and all friend
ly organizations to begin energetic preparations
for active participation in all ant-war DEM
onstrations on August First, with its own
banners, slogans and speakers 1t calls upon
all workers to strengthen and build the or
ganization, that it may be in better po-
sition to provide the necessary legal and ma
terial aid to those arrested or dubbed by the
capitalist police forces because of their anti
war activities 1t calls upon all workers to
help defend and free the militant leaders Of
the working class now languishing in the pris-
ons in all the capitalist countries. Defend the
militant workers organizations from being out
lawed and crushed by the war mongers, de-
fend the Soviet Union!

Keen On White Women"
Southern Cotton Mills and Labor" by Myra
Page, says: Because of the practice of sex
discrimination in the wages, mill employers
are especially keen on having white women in
the mills. In the cotton growing states in 1919
women composed $3.50 of total textile wage
earning group" The percentage of all women
in industry was 245@o.
OF course it works the same with children.
From the very beginning the textile industry
has been hot bed of child slavery. Every
improvement in machinery means that another
child can take the place of a man a woman.
Lately the increase in child slavery has been
a little slower simply because there is an un-
limited supply of the cheapest adult labor
But with increased competition the still
cheaper children will be drawn in. The 1920
census shows a little over sch children in the
southern mills. There are laws against very
young child labor in some states, which means
very little.
So we have cheap southern labor cheapenng
northern labor's wages because both are
unorganized. We have cheap women's labor
replacing slightly higher paid mems labor
And we have a cheap child labor competing
with, replacing both mems and women's labor,

and America make all this worse. The
thousands of English workers on strike have
not suffered so much from cheapening of
wages on account of women and child labor.
They have period of organization back of
them. But if they lose their strike Immediately
the terrific exploitation visited upon the
American women and children will crush down
on the English fields. Then we have COM
petition between the bosses Of England and
America to see who can cut wages faster,
with the wages of women and children falling
fastest of all, and being used as lever to
force other wages down.
The long three months of the struggle of
the Yorkshire wooden workers is a struggle
against speed up, wage cuts. 1t is part of
the general struggle of the textile workers
the world over. We must help morally and
financially. Organize for the textile strikers

IT goes unchallenged that bad money drives
out good money The cheapest money re-
places the better until nothing but cheap
money crculates.
Wages and payrolls work that way, too.
Cheap wages destroy higher wages. 1t does
not exactly work silently. The air is full of
the indignant shouts of those better paid
wor .ers in northern textile mills, for example,
who have neglected to organize themselves or

AUGUST First is International Red Day
n against war. On this day millions of men
and women the world over will come together
in huge demonstrations to express their OPP
position to the coming new world slaughter
and to mobilize their forces for a militant
struggle against it.
The workers of the world have not yet for
gotten their sacrifices in the last world war,
the "war for democracy" The workers paid
in the last world war with at least ten million
lives and more than 10 millions manned and
crippled
At present, the danger of new world war
is greater and more apparent than ever be-
fore. The various imperialist powers, unable
to solve their own home problems, are fever
ishly preparing for new bloodbath. They are
busy perfecting the deadly weapons with
which to murder greater and greater numbers
of workers. They are at the same time united
ly mobilzing their forces for an attack on the
Soviet Union, the haven of the workers, per-
secuted by the various capitalist governments
The imperialist powers know very well that
the Soviet Union is strong barrier against
war and that it serves as an inspiration to
the workers o. the entire world in their strug-
gle against exploitation and oppression.
Prepare Openly.
Inc reactonary forces OF American lnper-
ialism do not even conceal their preparations
for an attack on the Soviet Union. This is
apparent from a series of events that took
place here recently, one on the heels of the
other. The sensation created by the forged
"Whalen documents" the senatorial investi-
cation of the Communists and of the various
organizations of the militant workers, the or
der prohibiting the export of airplanes to
the Soviet Union, the campaign of the An
thracite coal operators to prohibit the import
to this country of Soviet coal, and finally the
recent attempts to stop the import Of Soviet
lumber to this country-these are just few Of
the facts pointing to the preliminary steps
towards war against the Soviet Union.
In their efforts to prohibit the Importation
of Soviet coal and lumber. the dark forces of
this country--the land of lynchings and most
atrocious chair gang and convict labor system
are trying 70 discredit the Soviet Union in
