BRITAIN FIRST,
MACDONALD
KEYNOTE
Prime Minister Appeals to
People to Return Govern
ment Coalition to Power

LONDON, Oct. 8 0N.So
Prime Minister MacDonald's ap-
peal to the country to return the
National government to power in
the forthcoming election was the
chief subject of political discus
sion among British voters today.
Addressing himself to all classes
Of the population, bankers as
well as trade uniOnists, shop
keepers as well as housewives,
Macdonald made "The Nation
First" his campaign slogan and
expressed the hope the election
on October ~ would "make the
world behold a nation united in
national defense"
Says Party Deserted
Charging the Labor party,
which he formerly headed, had
deserted the task of solving the
country's economic problems in
the present emergency, MacDon-
aid pointed out that the new
coalition government stopped bor-
rowing, imposed economy, and
balanced the budget, but said
the government would have to
have the confidence of che people
to avoid financial panics, social
distress and perhaps even revolu-
ton"
The prime minister placed the
problems which will face the next
government in four main di-
visions, as follows:
1. Sterilization of sterling by
understanding with other cOun-
tries which have gone off the
gold standard;
2. Balancing imports and ex-
ports by prohibiting impOrta-
tiOn of certain luxuries, either
arbitrarily or by a protective
tariff;
3. Maintenance of a balanced
governmental budget;
4. Removal through interna-
tiOnal conferences of impedi-
mentS to commerce and fl
nance growing out of war debts
and reparatiOns, unecOnOmic
distribution of gold and i'm
biliZatiOn of credits.

Workers Warned

Fearing they were losing control of
their racketeer- controlled union, the
officials of the Greater New York
Laundry Workers Union brought in
squad Of gangsters at last Thurs
days meeting to intimidate the rank
and file and to add votes for the
racketeers. Although the thugs
openly paraded around the hall
showing their intentions by toying
with bottle or the chairmans gavel.
Many workers took the floor in spite
of them.
A story came to light that a fourth
worker in the Pretty Laundry was
fired without this racketeer union
outfit taking even as much as notice
OF it. Members are wondering if the
gang has agreement with some
bosses not to touch their shops. When
another worker was fired last week,
the workers in the shop already de-
moralized, completely lost confidence
in the union. The union officials
made speeches against supporting
this shop because some of the work.
ers expressed lack of confidence in
the union,
If they cannot control the union
the racketeers threaten to break it
up At present they are seheming to
put over a deal with some bosses to
sign contracts with the understand
ing that they would not have to live
up to them and in this way the
gangsters expect to force the asso-
citation to give them a sum of money
to break up the union.
The Laundry oWrkers' League, af-
filiated with the Trade Union Unity
League, warns the laundry workers
that they must take away the con-
troll of the union from the gangsters
before it is too late.

Workers Are Urged to
Report to Aid
Collections

NEW YORK.-Although the full
returns of signature collections dur
ing the week end have not yet all
come in on the basis of which the

The task is not only to turn the
danger point in assuring the mini

the Communist Party before new
sections of the working class in all

tory where the Party has never been
before.
All workers, sympathizers, members
of the fraternal organizations, unions,
workers in shops and factories and
members of the Communist Party
are called on by District 2 to double
their efforts in the campaign of sig
natures.
The call to all organizations, unions
and fraternal bodies, were sent out
by the Communist Party at the end
of August, calling for support of the
campaign, for the collection of sig
natures, and for the formation of
Vote Communist Committees in the
shops.
All organizations are instructed to

! NEWARK, N. J.-Successful and
enthusiastic Election Campaign Raj
lies were held in several cities in New

DEFEND TEXTILE
THUGS ATTACK
ON CLARA HOLDEN
Greenville, S. C. Police
Enter Denial in Face
Of Evidence

GREENVILLE, S. c., Sept. 8.-In
an effort to cover up the brutal at
tack by mill supers on Clara Holden,
organizer of the National Textile
Workers Union. the local police are
trying to deny that Comrade Holden
was kidnapped by five mill thugs and
taken to the outskirts of Greenville
and brutally whipped.
Several witnesses have testified
that they heard Comrade Holden cry
out as she was dragged into a car
by the five thugs. A physician has
made an affidavit that she bears
many terrible bruises on her body.
But the police are still trying to deny
that the outrage occurred. The ply
sician's affidavit, made by Dr. j. w.
Mclean, declares:
ITO whom it may concern: This
is to certify that l have examined
Mrs. Clara Holden and find nu-
merouS bruises, some as large as a
persons hand and others of lesser
size, on her hips and thighs. Small
er bruises were found on her left
arm and front of thighs. No frac-
ture of bones or other injuries were
noted"
On account of the indignation of
Greenville workers, the boss press
has been forced to give space to the
attack, and even to make gestures of
condemning the outrage One of the
boss papers, the Greenville Piedmont
expresses fear that the "chiYalrous"
attack on Comrade Holden will en-
rage the workers but in the same
breath declares that militant labor
organizers who spread radical eco
nonic doctrines 'have neither consti-
tutional nor legal protection, Agi-
tators who spread them are public
enemies; prison cells are built for
people like that"
The attack on Comrade Holden is
part of the boss offensive to cut
wages and terrorize the white and
Negro workers of Greenville into
spineless acceptance of their terrible
conditions. These attacks will not
succeed. The workers realize their
purpose. realize that the bosses are
afraid of their organized strength
and are trying to prevent them from
organizing into the National Textile
Workers Union.

NTWU CALLS MASS RALLY TO ACT ON
PROPOSALS OF STRIKE COMMITTEE
AFL Unions Take Additional Step in Attempt
To Break Paterson Textile Strike

the ranks of the workers around
minimum demands below which no
settlements will be made with the
bosses.
During the next three days all
striking shops, shops back at work
and settled shops will meet at Turn
Hall and at the union headquarters,
205 Paterson St., to elect delegates
to the section shop conferences. The
delegates to last Fridays conference
will meet on Wednesday at 7 pm. in
Turn Hall in order to act on the
decisions of the conference and plan
the organization of the section con-
ferences.
Another Shop Wins Demands.
The NTW reported this morning q
settlement at the kaufman Silk Co.
where all the demands of the union
were granted and both the shop COM
mittee and the union were recognized
by the boss. The shop committee and
the rest of the workers will keep a
close check up to see that all the
terms of the settlement are main
tanned. Like all of the other agree
ments made by the NTWU not only
did the weavers get the full prices,
but all Of the other crafts likewise
won their demands.
These settlements of the NTWU
are in sharp contrast to the fake set
Elements Of the AFL union. The AFL
unions make a public agreement with
the boss while they have secret
agreement with him at the same time
to pay the old rates to the weavers
while the other crafts are sold out
completely.
Role of AFL Leaders Seen
The workers are realizing more and
more the strike breaking role that
the AFL-Muste- Gitlow have been
playing and are still playing. These
misleaders rushed shop after shop
back on fake settlement and sent
the workers of many more shops af-
filiated with them back to work
without any settlement at all. The
NTWU warns the strikers that the
AFL leaders have already made
agreements with the bosses to send
the strikers back to work at 5 cents
and 5 l-2 cents. This exposes COM
pletely the hypocrisy of the AFL
leaders who have called meeting
for tonight to get the workers to vote
on settling the strike on six cent
basis.
NTWU Prevented Complete Sell-Ou
After the Roseland Han meeting
Of two weeks ago Music, Gitlow and
Budenz sent the workers back on the
terms that their own membership
meeting had voted down. 1t was the
NTWU that prevented the complete
sell-out of the strike by these mis-
leaders. The meeting of the AFL to-
night is for the purpose of complet-
ing the sell-out so that the bosses
may force longer hours and teh six
loom system on the workers. This is
the same policy followed by the
Music leaders in the hosiery strike
where they put through so per cent
wage cut together with an intense
speed up of the workers.
The special mass meeting Thurs
day night of the United Front Cen
eral Strike Committee is the mobil-
ization of the silk workers against
the sell-out policy of the AFL agents
Of the bosses.
