u. S. War Dept. To Hold
Biggest Air War Maneuvers

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The most
gigantic air war maneuvers ever held
in any part of the world will take
place May 1920 in Dayton, Ohio,
under the supervision Of the United
States War Department.
F. Trubee Dawson, assistant sec
retary of war for air, is in charge of
collecting the largest number of
fighting airplanes ever assembled in
one spot.
There will be 672 military planes
in the maneuvers. 1t is estimated
that the exhibition of war planes
will be seen by 75,000,000.
This is just one of the many fea-
lures of the rapid war preparations

Strike Militant

BY N. HURWI-Z
(TUUL Organizer. Duluth.)

DULUTH, Minn.-Today is the 3rd
day since the Duluth Superior long
shoremen went on strike. In spite
of the effort of the dock companies,
police and city administration to
weaken the ranks of the strikers, the
strike is in good shape. On Wednes-
day morning the strikers had meet
ing and selected strike committee
with j. Cody as chairman. The strike
committee lined up the strikers on
the picket line, and through one
days good work the scabs were
cleaned out on the Great Lakes dock
No. 2.
The city council yesterday made an
attempt to break the strike while try
ing to convince the strikers to accept
the wage-cut. But the answer of the
strike committee and the strikers was

of it is that the chief of police and
the bosses are carrying on the same
propaganda "stay away from the
Trade Union Unity League and the
Marine Workers Industrial Union"
The Industrialisti", the Finnish,

paganda against the Trade Union
Unity League, the only organization
which is carrying on a militant

result Of a 16 percent wage slash
in the n iestic Mill. The entire mill
walked out. The owners of this mill
tried to shift their work to other mills
with the result that the workers of
this mill walked out on strike in SYM

strike now involves approximately
mills and is spreading rapidly to other
mills in the town. The rank and file
workers are talking general strike and
are appealing to the workers in the
other mills to join them
Need Mass Picketing.
The strike is carried on under the
leadership of the U. T. w. Mcdonald
Hoffman and the usual fake outfit is
on the scene. No concrete demands
have as yet been worked out for the
strikers. Many of the strikers inter-
viewed when asked what they were
striking for were unable to reply.
Disorganized picketing is being car
ried on in front of the mills. No mil
liant methods have as yet been
adopted to get out the workers with
in the mills. This was especially
noticeable today in the Adelaide mill,
the largest in this town.
Warn Against lIis.c- rs.
Representatives of the National
Textile Workers Union and Trade
U-ion Unity League have warned the
| strikers that it is necessary to correct
these things in order to carry on a
successful strike. This was eSpeci-
ally brought out at the May Day
meeting, which was attended by 1000
workers, many of whom were strik-
ers. MacHarris, representing the
Trade Union Unity League, to which
the N. It. w. U. is affiliated, stressed
the matter of election of a general
rank and file strike committee draw
ing up of demands for all the strik-
ers, militant mass picketing in front
of the mills, etc. The workers were
especially warned against fake arbi-
tration methods.

remarks Of both speakers were greet
ed with enthusiastic applause by the
strikers and other workers present.
A number of stool-pigeons, represent
ing the textile manufacturers and U.

the meeting. Despite this intinlida-
ton. the strikers present openly voic-
ed their approval with the remarks
of the speakers.
