FURNITURE SHOP
WORKERS STRIKE
Fight Boss Attempt to
Worsen Conditions

A strike against a lockout was de-
clared yesterday by the Furniture
Workers Industrial Union against the
State Upholstery Co. at All Bedford
Avenue, Brooklyn. The bosses of this
shop have signed an agreement with
the union during the last strike Of
the upholsterers, and now that the
strike is over, these bosses are trying
to take away from these workers
the conditions they have gained as
a result of the strike.
The workers of this shop showed
their militancy and determination to
fight for the conditions they have
gained, by walking out when the
bosses wanted to put them back on
the piece work system.
The Furniture Workers Industrial
Union is calling a mass meeting this
Thursday, Oct. %, 7.30 p. m. at the
Manhattan Lyceum, &c East 4th st.,
New York City. A report OF the
last strike of the upholsterers, the
role of Local No. rs in the strike
will be discussed at this meeting.

U. S. Bank Depositors
to Hear Candidates

NEW YORK-The indictment of
Broderick, a State Banking Superin-
tendent, was discussed at an execu-
tive session of the United Depositors'
Committee Of the Bank of U. S. held
Monday night at the Has Building
All the delegates representing diff
ferent branches expressed their OPP
inion that this alleged indictment is
only a Tammany maneuver during
the election campaign to regain the
confidence of the depositors.
A symposium has been arranged to
take place coming Saturday evening
at Public School IS. Eldrige ST., be-
tween Canal and Hester SITS. The
United Depositors' Committee in
vited all candidates for the office of
Boro President of Manhattan to ap-
pear and tell the depositors what
their party is doing and intends to do
to regain the deposits. A statement
issued by MIR. Greenbaum, a mem
Der of the Press Committee, says:
while the United Depositors' Com
mittee is not connected with any
political organization and comprised
Of workers and small depositors
without any reference to their poll
tical beliefs, at the coming SYM
postum after the speeches delivered
by all the candidates the question Of
what party should be supported by
the depositors will be discussed" Ac-
cording to his estimate the organi-
cation has an influence over $4,000
workers and small depositors.
The only party that has been
carrying the fight for these robbed
depositors is the Communist Party. 1t
was the Communist press that first
exposed the swindles Of the state Of
ficials and only the Communist press
warned the workers that they would
not get cent unless they fought.
The Jewish socialist Forward" in
sisted from the very beginning that
every cent would be repaid, thus
trying to curb the militancy Of the
depositors.

Resetar, WOOdlawn
Case Prisoner. Dies
In BlawnOX Prison

PITTSBURGH, Pa Oct. 20.
MILAN Resetar, one of the
three Communists sentenced in
the Woodlawn case on charges
of state treason for possessing
Workers Party literature, died
Sunday morning in Blawnox
Workhouse. Resetar has been
suffering from tuberculosis for
months and the International
Labor Defense has made many
attempts to have him removed
to a hospital and given a
chance of life. The steadfast
refusal of the warden and trial
judge to permit this caused the
LID. and T.U.U.L. unions to
send a telegram Of protest to
Governor Pinchot. Pinchot
failed to interfere, and thus
sentenced Resetar to death.
The body is lying In state In

and the funeral will take place
Friday at IL am. under the
direction of the LID. and the
Communist Party.

10 PC. Pay Cut

LAWRENCE, Mass, Oct. 20.-Ten
thousand Lawrence strikers picketed
the mills this morning in a blaze of
determination to smash the wage cut
of ten per cent inflicted on them by
the American Wooden Co. and other
employers here There are $4,000 on
strike, and they are organizing their
own leadership in the United Front
Rank and File Strike Committee
which has the full support of the
National Textile Workers Union.
These strikers fight wage cut
which comes on starvation wages
Although the American Wooden Com
pany, secures behind a $4,000,00o I'M
divided surplus in its treasury, claims
that it has to cut because it pays
higher than mills pay in other states

New Hampshire and % in Rhode

renee mills have been working only
part time, with workers transferred
from small to large and from 81 to 4e
pick jobs with no increase for the
extra work. A girl spinner gets from
SO to SO week, actually.

The police of Lawrence have been
greatly increased by bringing in men
from Lowell and other places, and
the police commissioner was yester-
day given dictatorial powers by the
city government. The Massachusetts,
governor, Ely, has from the first de-
manded the strikers go back and take
the wage cut. He has sent the state
arbitration board to conduct secret
sessions in Lawrence with the en-
ployers and the United Textile Work
er and American Union officials
who are doing their best to sell out
the strike.
This morning, the second day of
heavy picketing, there were two
strong lines of a thousand strikers
around the Wood mill of the Am

AS Anti-Soviet Attack

NEW YORK.-The meeting be-
tween Secretary of State Stimson and
the Japanese Ambassador to Wash

further move of the imperianst pow
ers to seek solution" Of the Man~
churian conflict by a war against the

tually sharpening of the antagonism
between American and japanese im-
perialism over the spoils in China,
their fear of the revolutionary work.
ing class has forced them into a
position Of spreading more peace"
propaganda to cover up their war
preparations.
One of the significant factors
which led TO the so-called toning
down of the Japanese Bitterness
against the admission Of the Amer
lean observer, Prentiss, to sit in at
the League of Nations sessions, was
the Wall Street attack against jap
anese bonds, driving these down eight
points. This financial war between
Wall Street and Japanese imperialism
is part of the general conflict, OPEN
ing the way ultimately to military
action.
Ambassador Debuchi said that jap
anese troops would be withdrawn"
but cables from Tokyo state that the
armed forces in Manchuria are being
strengthened. General Shirakawa,
Japanese Minister of War, has gone
to Manchuria to take over personal
command Of the army there and TO
direct its spread throughout Man.
churia and closer to Soviet territory.
That the Manchurian conflict is
leading to war, ostensibly among the
imperialist powers, but that they will
make efforts to direct this war
against the Soviet Union, is the main
point in a speech made on the Sino-
Japanese situation by Professor Mark
M. Head of the history department
of Rutgers University.
The Newark News, reporting Pro-
fessor Healds speech, says:
THE probability of another World
War in the near future, arising from
the Sino-Japanese situation, was
predicted today by Professor Mark NJ
Head of the history department Of
Rutgers University"
The Professor, however, forgetting
for the moment that Japanese troops
are in Manchuria, numbering, rob-
bling and extending the colonial grip
of Japan, directs his attention to the
Soviet Union, trying to make the
workers republic the "aggressor."
After this twist, he gives the line Of
the Capitalists, showing that after
this fakery had been peddled, the
capitalists would unite on war against
the Soviet Union
The Newark News quotes him az
follows:
ANY Russian aggression against
China, Professor Head believes. be-
cause of it's economic and diplomatic
reactions, will bring the United
States, Great Britain. France, Italy.
Germany and Belgium to the aid Of

the excuse of laid to China" when

chicken, along with a vegetable such
as cabbage, caulifower, spinach, egg

isn't worth it in these depression
times, so that post may be abol-
ished
In that event. Hays may go back
to his first love, politics, and take
shot at the nomination for Gov
ernor. Some of the workers say
that his re-entry should be en-
couraged with the thought that he
could stop Fred Lands.
None of the Republican leaders of
the state seemed overjoyed at the
prospect when it was preached to
them.
This may in a measure be due to
Hays intimacy with Harry Sinclair,
Albert Fall and others of Teapot
Dome fame and his activities with
the Continental Trading corpora
tons, the stock Of which was used
to pay off the party's 1920 campaign
debts.
Besides, they claim, when Hays
left the state organization, it was
heels over head in debt and great
difficulty was experienced in clear
ing this.
AS far as can be learned, no one
is tickled pink at the thought of
Hays possible re-entry into Indiana
politics.
n
It is felt that Hays got all the
reward coming to him because of
his labors in the political vineyard
and he can not expect anything
back here at home with so many
deserving Republicans waiting for
a chance at the trough.
If Hays were to hop into the
puddle, he would force some of the
small fish out, and that is some
thing not to be desired, they say.
For after all the Deacon" has but
one vote to cast and his influence
here, through lack of use, has waned
greatly.
