fancy in the present struggle for I'M
employment insurance and against
the bosses wage cut drive.
Other speakers included Woods, Or

I the past week The two most impor-
tant banks which closed yesterday
were, however, in the center Of the
city and had dposits Of over S30,OOO,-
600. Another bank to close in an inn
portant industrial center was the
Jordan State Bank of Allentown, Pa.
In addition to these banks one bank
closed in Canandaigua, N. Y, one in
Washington County, Pa, another in
Shrewsbury, Pa, three banks in West
Virginia, three in Texas, including
one in San Antonio, one in Colorado,
four in Nebraska, four in Minnesota,
and one each in WilHamsport, Md,
and Roscommon, Mich.
This list which is given in the capt.
talist press is not by any means a
complete one. The capitalist press
hides more bank failures than it ad-
mits. For example, in giving the news
Of the closing of the Union Trust Co.
Of Washington County, Pa, the New
York Sun admits that this made "the
fifth institution to close in Washing
ton County in two days" The capital
list press has not even reported the
other four.
The closing of these banks and par
ticularly those in the East and in the
industrial centers means that teh
banking crisis which has thus far
affected chiefly the banks in the
agrarian sections has become so
sharp that the banks in the largest
cities are in very weakened posi-
ton. Due to the weakness of the
banks there has been a tremendous
withdrawal Of funds by the depositors
for the purpose of boarding. This sit
uation is prevalent throughout the
country as can be seen from the fact
that on September 80 there was more
currency in circulation than at any
other time even in the days of pros
perity' before the present crisis.
Workers and other small deposit
ors, organize committees of small de-
positors to demand that the state pay
back the full amount of the deposits
in the closed banks, out Of funds sup
piled by an assessment on the stock
holders and the big depositors or
from the state directly, witch has
had these banks under its supervision
and has allowed the small depositors
to be robbed out of their savings.

up sentiment against him has been
forced to drag in the supernatural,
publishing silly statement by the
father fDent Williams that the dead

her brother in which she told him
that Peterson was the hold-up man,
and asked him to avenge her.
Should Peterson die, he will make
the fourth murder victim of the Bir-
mingham police and bosses in the ter
ror against Negro workers here since
the hold-up and murder of the two
society women. Two other Negro
workers were shot down by police.
A Negro woman worker was also
murdered and her body left on the
street. Scores of Negro workers have
been arrested and beaten up and the
homes of many searched for Commu-
mist literature.
The local boss press reports the re-
ceipt by Commission President Jones
of a Protest of the frame-up and
shooting of Peterson from the Inter
national Labor Defense.

Last spring when several Phila-

who is one of the signers of the pre-
sent statement made a grand stand
play by depositing $1,000 in one Of
the banks and telling the small de-
positors not to fear for their de-
posts. The workers and other small
depositors now know what das-
tardly lie his statement was then
and what a dastardly lie is the pre-
sent statement. 1t is just as much
lie as the statement Of Robert La
mont, tina he banking situation was
as firm as rock"
The bank failures is the result
the tremendous sharpening of the
economic crisis. The worsening Of
the crisis brings with it the failure
of more and more banks and the at
tempt of the capitalist class to force
the terrible burden of the crisis on
the working class to an ever greater
degree. This must be met by the
organized resistance of the working
millions thruought the country.
AT least twenty-three banks
throughout the country failed yes
terday in one Of the most severe
shahngs of the banking structure in
the present crisis. The capitalist
press has announced that the reason
for the present conference Of Hoover
with the bankers is because of the
severe situation of the banks in the
Middle West. The banking situation
has been particularly sharp in the
West, but banks are failing not only
in the West but in the industrial CEN
tiers of the East.
In Philadelphia three banks with
eight branches in addition to the CEN
trail offices closed yesterday. Numer-
Gus small banks have been closing on

NEW YORK, Oct, THE forego-

pointed directly against the Conmu-
MIST Party and other mass organiza-

Chief in the attack on the workers
have been the Socialists. Even be-

to support the LaWrance strikers on
Sunday, day before they struck, was
greeted with tremendous applause.
Cheering and shouts of Strike,
strike" rang throughout the lot in
response to the question put by
Berkman: What is your answer TO
the wage-cuts?"
After the lot meeting over 200
workers crowded the N.T.W.U. Of
flee, signing up in the union, par
ticipating in department meets and
in youth meeting. The youth
meeting decided to not only fight
for the return of the wage-cut, but
to formulate demands for the young
workers in the mills.
The police, as the tools Of the mill
owners, and the representatives Of
the capitalist city government have
already started their trike-breaking
work. When ten mass picket line
paraded from the Wood and Aver
mills to the Washington mills large
force Of police under the direction of
City Marshal Timothy j. O'Brien,
dispersed the workers. The walkout
Of the night shift in this mill was
the workers answer.
Samuel Bramhall, candidate for
Mayor in the local elections on the
platform of the Communist Party,
which he has endorsed, has been
taking an active part In the strike
preparation meetings. The platform
of the Communist Party makes the
central issue in the elections the
need for organizing the strike against
wage-cuts and winning relief for the
unemployed workers. The City Cour1-
Gil has turned down the demands
of Bramhall and large delegation
of workers that the N.T.W.U., the
Communist Party and other militant
workers organizations be given the
right to speak on the Lawrence Com
mon. The workers are determined to
win the right of free speech in the
present strike struggle.
The preliminary United Front
Mill Delegates Conference win take
place Wednesday night. The hall
will be announced later.

Packinghouse Slash

MILWAUKEE,, Wise, Oct. 7. =
More than 300 workers employed by
the Plankinton Packing Company of
Milwaukee received a wage cut of 10
per cent on October S. The workers
are very sore about it. There is strike
sentiment in every department. The
truckers are making about $lS to $40
a week and the trimmers from $14
to SIS per week.
The workers are forced to work at
neck-breaking speed for hours per
day. The Food and Packing Work
ers Industrial League Of Milwaukee
issued leaflet to the workers in
the plant, calling upon them to Or
ganize and strike against the wage
cut Of 10 per cent.
