NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. H.
Three street cars were blasted last
night, with bombs placed on the
tracks. One person riding scab

were not large enough to do much
more than cripple the cars.
More than so cars have been
bombed during the present car
strike. Opinion is divided as to
whether they were all agent pro-
vocateur's work, or whether some
of the betrayed and sold out, and
intensely bitter car strikers or their
sympathizers have done this in re-

and the federal marshalls collected

Unemployed.
AS told yesterday, the police raid
ed the hall of the Unemployed Coun-
ell during meeting, ordered it to
dispense and, forming a chain, drove
the audience downstairs, arresting
ten and beating up one worker. They
also raided the Workers Center and
stole the LID. charter and two
Monograph machines.
Workers of Newark are greatly
indignant at these attacks, and the
LID. is determined to defend the
right of the unemployed to organize,
hold meetings and assemble where
an when they desire. Dave Rosen,
one of those arrested for distribut-
ing leaflets, is free on $4,000 bail,
under charges of advocating SUBJ
version, destruction or opposition to
government" The other workers
are held for $4,000 bail each, an
outrageous sum.
Incidentally, while the army of
cops were raiding the workers hall,
bank was held up two blocks away
with haul of $4,000, the police
being busy protecting capitalism
generally from the working class.

All steps are taken for complete
protection of the strikers and for
an intensive campaign to organize

meeting Monday, unanimously and
with enthusiasm pledged to fight
side by side with the oloakmakers,
and assessed all their members 10
per cent on weekly earnings to sup
port the strike as long as it might
last.
The International Ladies Garment
Workers officialdom is in panic.
1t admits circular that the In
dustrial Union will get agreements,
and it offers the bosses operators
who work in dress shops, to scab
in the cloak strike. 1t has already
hired a gang of thugs from th2
South End to try and break the
strike, but the workers are not
frightened. They will protect them
selves.
Never was enthusiasm so high
for a real right to gain recognition
for the Industrial Union and to win
union conditions in the shops, where
they have been lost through the be-
trayals of the company union clique.

gains of their fellow workers in the
Soviet Union would be putting it
rather mildly. Foster spoke to
what is called a packed house"
that is, there were throngs stand
ing in the aisle after all the seats
were filled, and at that time the
crowds were still coming. An hour
before the meeting was scheduled,
200 were waiting in line to get in.
The speaker, just back from the
Soviet Union, told of the proofs
that the enormous expansion of in
dustry in the u. S. s. R. is not a
temporary boom, such as capitalist
countries have had to be followed
by a depression, such as they have
now. With the capitalists and the
landlords out of the way, the work
ers standard of living constantly
rises rapidly, construction rises
rapidly and there is no such thing
rs "over- production" and no end in
sight to the process.
No End To Improvement.
The Five Year Plan, which the
workers are finishing in four years,
means: 266 per cent more produc-
ton at the end of the period than
now, II per cent raise in wages, cut
ting living costs rs per cent, four
billion roubles for new workers
homes, elimination Of illiteracy, q 12
billion roubles for radios, club

property type of agriculture and its
Transformation into intensive pro-
ductive, large scale, easy work So
calized agriculture. The 7-hour
day, one holiday in every 5 days is
being applied.
"Does this look like the failure
of initiative under Socialism, "
asked Foster. And the workers who
heard him showed they would like
to "fail" that way too.

fake opposition to him in the Senate
