Big Convention Friday
All Activity fastened
AS Delegations Form

A special appeal to registered
workers in the needle trades, those
forced into the I. L. G. w. and other
company unions by the fake strikes
and other maneuvers, was issued
yesterday by the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union. These
workers are reminded that they do
not have to suffer the speed-up, long
hours, piece-work, unemployment
and sweat-shop conditions which
were their share of the Schlesinger-
Hillman- Kauffman-St etsky-Zaritsky
attack on them, and the contracts
these various takers have with the
bosses.
They are urged to send delegates
from shop meetings to the industrial
unions second national convention,
which will be held in New York on
June 6, 7 and 8. Their place is in
the ranks of the militant needle
trades workers. The N. T. w. |. u.

of $235 for employed and $1.95 for
unemployed workers during it's drive
for 5000 new members in New
York.

MORE Chinese
WORKERS revolt
Uprising in Simakow
and Hanchuan

PEIPING, June 3,-Workers and
peasants of Simakow and Hanchuan
in Hupeh province rise in revolt to-
day against the oppression of the
counter-revolutionary regime of the
landlords, the gentry, the native
bourgeoisie, foreign imperialists, the
missionaries and the Kuomintang.
Hanchuan is strategically a very
important town, situated on the Han
River, which flows into the Yangtze
River at Hankow. Simakow is also
not far from Hankow.
The taking of these two towns by
the revolutionary workers and pea
SAINTS means that the revolution has
gained a very significant victory
and has taken a long step forward
toward the capture of Hankow.
Further down the Yangtze River
Communist forces are reported to
be marching on Kiukiang, a very
important city on the Yangtze
River. The American imperialists

of workers will gather in the Cen
trail Opera House (67th st. and
Third Ave.) to celebrate the first
Soviet Congress in China as great
forward step in the world struggle
against imperialist and capitalist
oppression.
One of the Geographic agencies of
the American bourgeoisie reports:
"This aspect of the situation is
looked upon here as far graver than
the northern war, as the most valu-
able section of China is involved,
with foreign trade and Markings
control threatened by a semiCom-
munistic regime which would work
to the detriment of all interests"
This is call for imperialist inter
vention.
Tonight's mass meeting will voice
the determination of the American
workers to fight against American
imperialism, to support the Chinese
revolution and to defend its achieve
ments. The speakers at this meet
ing are as follows:

All Branches of Industry.
These are the rallying cries un-
der which the Metal Workers In
dustrial League summons represen-
tatives of auto and aircraft work
ers, metal and machinery workers,
electrical appliance workers, foun-
dry workers, shipyard workers, ra-
do manufacturing workers, navy
yard workers, munition factory
workers and jewelry workers to at
tend this conference.
The aims of the organization are
made sufficiently clear by the above
slogans. On this basis the Metal
Workers League has been rapidly
extending itself through the steel
industry and auto and machine shops
especially since its organization at
the Cleveland Convention of the
Trade Union Unity League nearly
year ago. Dozens Of shop COM
mittees have been established. Many
locals of the A. F. of L. unions,
especially the machinists' union,
have working groups of workers in
them in open revolt against the of
fetal leadership, the sell-out and
speed-up systems of their A. F. Of
L. higher officials.
The statement of the Metal
League, calling this conference
gives a review of the conditions I'M
der which metal workers toll, and
which demand remedy through or
ganization of the metal workers
into one industrial union. The
league points out:
Wage cuts and cuts in piece worl
rates are the order of the day; ii
spite of Hoover's fake prosperity.

vince the agents of capitalism
who rule New York that it is
advisable to let them go.
The atmosphere of the courts
was hostile; Difference was
given to legalistic conventions,
everything was smooth, I'M
hurried and gentlemanly, but
the clearest presentation of the
fact that sending and holding
the jobless leaders in prison
for three years each, and rail
reading them on a fanciful charge
that they assaulted policeman to
more years, brought nothing more
from the judges than silence, or
journalistic and contentious phrases.

The case of the policeman sup
posed to have been assaulted against
William z. Foster, Robert Minor,
Israel Amter, Harold Raymond and
Joseph Lesten was called some time
after Judge Flood arrived, an hour
and half late, in 57th Street court
yesterday morning. 1t was post
poned for the fifth time, without
argument. The date now set IS
June II.
At 2 p. M, in the Appellate Divi-
sior, before five judges sitting back
of high bench in big court room
at 25th Street and Madison Avenue,
arguments were made by Robert
Elder for the international Labor
Defense and Benvenga, assistant
prosecuting attorney. Written ar
guments were also submitted by both
sides, and the judges will give their
decision some time in the future.
The judges were: O'Malley, Mer-
ril, Machavoy, Martin and Sherman.

Before we start a discus
sion vof hats it is well to
takeE up the matter of how
to wear them, for in the
way they. are put on lies
much of their chic. The best
hat looks wrong if worn
wrong, and all hats must be
put on in a careful, studied
manner. This years hats
are worn back to the hair
line with the forehead ex-
posed and some hair show
ing on one or both sides.
Crowns are placed back SO
that thsy give very shall

a bit to one side or the
other, giving 1t q rather
jaunty look. Wearing hats
the right way takes off any

them the wrong way will add

Brinns Are on
The Increase

There is an increasing
tendency towards the wear=
ing Of brimmed hats. By
this we do not mean neces-
sarily a turned down brim
OF the old cloche type,
though some of these hats
are good in modified versions.
Most of the brims are flared
back and off-the-face in a
flattering manner. That off
the-face look is stronger than
it ever was. In fact, all
hats whether they have
brims or not have. a ten

tirely and to make flat
tering frame for it. Many
of these, brimmed hats have

emily but the general lines
of the beret and turban are
still there. They are often
made of. strips of felt so
that they will be softer and

made of a felt body. The
berets usually have a. simple
drape to the back or oc-

wrapped about the head in
almost any manner, which
means that they are most

The Cushion
Brim Is New

A new cushion btim or
double brim is another way
of making hats extremely
soft and becoming. These.
brims are actually doubled
and they ara practically
limitless in the way they
may be creased and manipu-
lated. They may be off the

take all the same trimmings
of hats with single brims

to an off-the-face look.
The felt family leads in
popularity for fall hats. The

softer than they have ever
been because Of the neces-

them so much. Besides
