the latest attack of the bosses:
In the Paterson, N. j., County Jail
five workers, four men and one
woman, have been framed up on a
murder charge and are held without
bail They are charged with the
death of Max Urban, a silk mill own
er. who was also known as a boot
logger. and was hurt in row with
his underworld enemies The death
of this bootleggeY was seized upon by
the silk bosses as an excuse for franz
ing up five militant workers.
These workers have been framed
up by the mill owners and their gov

the front ranks Of the struggle
against the miserable conditions in
the silk mills Of Paterson, against the
ruthless exploitation, stretch out,
over-vork, and low wages, which is
the lot Of the thousands of textile
workers shaving in the Paterson mills.
This case bears the earnarks of
the familiar frame-up. one of the
deadliest weapons of the American
capitalists in the fight against the
workers. The frame-up against the
five workers is aimed at the very life
of the National Textile Workers
Union, which in recent months has
answered the attacks of the bosses
with militant strike struggles.
The successful strike of 10000 tex
tile workers in Lawrence conducted
under the leadership of the National
Textile Workers Union, has brought
the union to the forefront as the
champion of the interests of the tex
tile workers. 1t has given impetus to
the struggle OF the workers against
wage cuts, in the various other tex
Tile centerS, and particularly in Pat
erson. where the workers, encouraged
by the success of Lawrence, we're rail-
lying TO the union and preparing fer
a struggle to improve their conditions.
These activities of the National Tex
tile Workers Union have struck fear
into the hearts of the bosses, and
the agents of the American Fedora
ton of Labor who are pledged TO a
policy of submission to the wage cuts.
They are now attempting to break
the backbone of the union through
the deportation proceedings of the
leaders Of the Lawrence strike and
the frsme-up Of the five active union
workers in Paterson.
Fellow workers. The attack of the
Textile Workers Union is an attack
on the entire working class of the
United States. 1t is an attempt to

CAPITOL STARS LUPE vELEz IN

Picture Recalls Glamorous Days of Cutlasses and
 Black Eyes

Lupe Velez is the star at the Capitol Theatre, appearing with Jean Hersholt and John Holland in Hell Harbor,a the United Art ists-InSpiration conception of what it is like for a young girl to match her wits with a mercenary father and an avaricious trader.
 The story brings one back to those glamorous days when pirates really had cutlasses and black eyes.
 Series of Murders
 It winds its way thrillingly through 2, series of murders and scrimmages and concludes as all stories must conclude-with the vii vacious Lupe Velez fast in the arms of the man she loves and the moon shining down upon them. But there is really substance to the tale. It recounts the hardness of a father to his daughter and of his attempt omarry her to his own monetary advantage; and of her refusal to bow to his selfish will.
 Scenes Taken Outdoors
 Acted to the hilt by cast which includes, besides Miss Velez, Jean Hersholt and John Holland, also Gibson Gowland, Harry Allen Al St. John, Paul Burns and George Book-Asta, Hell Harbor" has the distinction of having been made completely outside studio walls. Most of the scenes were shot in a romantic setting outside Tampa, Fla.
 Pictures of scenes aboard a mer- chantman at night have been etched with artistic effect.
