1880 Sign for Communist
Candidates; Campaign On

The Communist Party, New York
District. last night filed 1880 sigma
lures for placing the Communist
Party candidates on the ticket. This
is an achievement for the Party and
indicates growing sentiment for the
Party. Not only the number of
workers, but the readiness with which
they attached their names to the Pc
titions, and the eagerness with which
they listened to the comrades who
knocked at the doors and bought lit
erature of the Party, indicates that
the workers ears and minds are open
to the slogans of struggle of the Com
munist Party.
The leading candidate of the Com
munist Party is Israel Amter, who is
the Party candidate for president of
the Borough of Manhattan. j. Louis
Engdahl is the Party candidate to
fill the vacancy in the Seventh Con-
gressional District in Brooklyn.
The main struggle in the. campaign
will be against the socialist party,

LAWRENCE, Mass, Oct. 6.-Over
$4,000 are now on strike here against
wage-cuts. The mills affected are
Pacific Number Ten Mills, all the
American Wooden Mills in Lawrance
and Shawsheen.
Workers are still continuing to
join the strike. The American Fed
Grafton of Labor planned fake
strike vote today under the auspices
of the Citizens Committee" a
group of bosses working together
with the city administration, but this
maneuver was defeated by the strike
itself. They are now urging the
workers to return to the mills.
A. F. of L. officials are now posing
as members of the National Textile
Workers Union, in order to get to
speak to the workers.

and company union takers, realizing
the fighting spirit of the workers,
talked about resisting wage-cuts, :"
while the National Textile Workers
Union organized for strike on the
united front basis. A citizens COM

At Irving Plaza, 2 P.
M. This Saturday

NEW YORK Issuing call to all
working women to come to an cleo
ton conference of the Communist
Party, to be held at Irving Plaza, 2
p. M, october 10, the Communist
election committee points out:
The working women in factories,
mills, the wives and daughters of
workers in department stores, five
and ten stores, restaurants, laundries
are suffering today just as the men
workers from wage cuts and linem-
ployment Thousands OF evictions
are taking place and women and
children thrown into the streets for
non-payment of rent. The cutting
off of gas and electric are only a
part of the hardships suffered by
working class families.
What then should working women
do about the vote? Can they use 1t
SO it will be of real value to them
selves and to the whole working class
in this country? Is there Party on
the field that offers real working
class program against starvation and
evictions and wage cuts and for i'm
mediate relief for the unemployed?
There is assuredly such a party
and that is the Communist Party, the
part of the working class.
All women's organizations, shops,
unions and fraternal organizations

Soviet Workers
Invite American
Workers Visit
Delegation to Get
Send-Off Monday

NEW YORK.-An idea of how the
delegation Of American workers who
are going to the Soviet Union for the
18th Anniversary celebrations of the
Russian revolution will be greeted is
shown by a letter just received by
the Friends of the Soviet Union from
workers in "Electrosila," the huge
Soviet electric power factory. On
October II, mass demonstration in
Cooper Union will see these Ameri-
can workers off to the USSR.
The letter says: This year we are
opening up 518 new factories and
workshops and 1,040 machcine trac-
tor stations. In our wheat areas we
have collectivized, in the main, the
whole Of agriculture We have COM
pletely liquidated unemployment"
They invite the American workers
to see for themselves, saying: I'VE
desire that you should leave off be-
lieving the SANDER of the socialists
about the USSR and would like you
to come here for the 14th Anniyer-
Sary of the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat in the USSR and see with
your own eyes our life as it really
is"
The delegation which will answer
this appeal consists of IA American
workers who will be there for the
14th Anniversary celebration and
then spend around five weeks in the
Soviet Union visiting the chief in
dustrial projects.
Every worker is invited to attend
the mass send-off to be given these
workers next Monday night at Coo
per Union, Among the speakers will
be William Weinstone. Mike Gold,
editor of the New Masses, and John
Dos Passos, famous novelist.

NEW YORK.--After first saying
that some Japanese troops would be
withdrawn from Manchuria, definite
statements now made by these same

cent and there are rumors amongst
the workers that in a few days the
company will put up notice with a
wage cut of 10 per cent.
Many railroad workers of Milwau-
kee are saying that there will be
widespread wage cut in all the Mil
waukee railroads, as a result of the
action taken by the two railroads
mentioned.
