would do neither, so the clerk called

stuck in the opening of the car
and the worker had to get on top
of the car to poke the coal down to
the crusher and some way he slipped
and fell into the crusher with the
coal.
Horribly Mangled.
Nobody saw exactly how it was,
but a worker that was working
down below where the coal was COM
ing from the crusher saw that hui
man flesh was coming mixed with
the coal. The worker rushed and
stopped the crusher, but was too
late. The worker was ground all
to pieces.
The worker was only % years
old and was married in. July, 1929.
He was forced into this accident
because he had to unload as fast as
possible under the bosses speed-up,
because if the car stands too long
on the siding the Crane Co. las to
pay for it by the hour.
Lessons Tor Workers.
This shows to us workers how
much the capitalists care for us.
Not one capitalist paper says any
thing of this terrible accident. They
keep that secret that we workers
face such dangers inside the shops.
The Chicago capitalists are very
good in giving publicity for gang
sters. When Zuta got killed there
were headlines in every paper. And
when worker dies in an accident
so terrible nobody knows anything
about it, He has just Disappeared
from the earth.
We Must Organize.
How can we eliminate those ac-
cidents, wage-cuts and speed-up?
Only one solution is left for us
workers and that is to organize our
selves in militant industrial unions.
Then we will be able to improve our
conditions and prevent accidents in
the shops.
Crane Speeds Up Men.
The Crane shop now increases
daily the speed-up. One worker had
to do the work of three for starving
wages the workers are receiving,
and the Crane Company is so de-
termined to keep the workers from
organizing they always have police
there to arrest workers for distribu-
ton of leaflets. The police are al
ways on guard at the Crane shops.

Saving Gandhi.
The government could agree .to
this, but two things interferred from
the first. One was the quarrel
among Gandhi leaders over the divi-
sion of the spoils, the other was the
fear of Gandhi leaders and govern
ment officials alike that Gandhi
could not lead the movement back
ward. He is still needed to mislead
it into harmless channels, such az
the salt campaign. .--
The All-India National Congress
(Gandhi followers) has already
again begun the misleading, staging
a "Gandhi week" of Illicit salt dem
onstrations. Thousands took part
today in demonstration over salt
at Chowpatty sands without being
broken up by the police. Two ar

Workers in Lille Are
Back at Work With
Fake Promises
Communists Expose
Rotten Agreement

PARIS Obs. ).-Since the des-
picable negotiations on August, the
offensive against the strike in the
North of France is increasing. The
employers, relying on the treach-
cry of the reformist leaders, have
proposed to the ministry of labour
that they will promise to raise
wages in October, provided the cost
of living should have increased by
then and the position of industry
permits this. This means a purely
deceptive promise, which the en-
ployers will never dream of keep
ing, The reformist leaders are
,snatching at these miserable crumbs,
and the bourgeois press states that
they have induced the delegates Of
the reformist trade unions in Lille
to resume work this afternoon. Con-
flicts are however reported from
Roubaix and Tourcoing. 1t is to be
anticipated that the great mass Of
the strikers will resist the decision.
After the capitulation of the re-
formist in Lille the employers, the
reformist trade unions, and the
minister of labour Laval, are en-
deavouring to torpedo the strike in
Roubaix, Tourcoing, and the Ar
mentieres district. The negotiation
NTH +bo ronrovapt o+ivas Of +haoo
districts and the textile syndicate
brought forth statement on the
part of the employers that "the
solution reached in Lille can only be
applied to Roubaix and Tourcoing
in so far as the industry supplies
the possibility" That is to say the
strikers are to resume work on
vague promises.
1t must be admitted that these
events have reacted upon the strike
situation, and there has been a GER
tain resumption of work though not
to the extent desired by the strike
breakers.
165 delegates, representing 118
factories, attended a strikers con-
gress at Lille. Comrades Bournetop
and Maurice Thoquez described the
situation, and showed the necessity
of returning to the factories in
Lille, in order to carry on an ener-
getic struggle there against the
compromise and against the trait
ors. They called upon the strikers
in the other towns to carry on the
struggle to the utmost. 1t may be
assumed that on Sunday the refor-
mist leaders will increase their
pressure on the workers of the dis
trict of Roubaix, Tourcoing, Halluin
and Armentieres, where there are
still $4,000 workers on strike.
