NEW YORK-After an extensive
tour Of the industries around Mos
COW and other parts of the Soviet
Union, George Bernard Shaw, the
world-famous English playwright and
author, made speech in the Hall
of Columns last Sunday praising the
achievements Of the workers in
overthrowing the czar and building
up socialism. Shaw urged the Eng
lish workers to do the same, ending
British capitalism. Shaw's speech,
as reported by Walter Duranty of
the New York Times. is as follows
He began with the word "Tova-
rishi" (Comrades), which aroused
vast applause, and then added in
English:

Five hundred more workers today

This is the answer of the workers
to the maneuvers of the labor takers
of the A. F. of L., United Textile
Workers and Associated Silk Workers
and the Lovestone renegades who
are planning together with the
bosses of Paterson to call fake
strike today, Tuesday morning.
The strikers yesterday elected a
committee of 25 which we're to go to
the mass meeting of rank and file
members of the Associated Silk
Workers which met last night. The
meeting had, as its purpose, to ex-
pose the maneuvers of their leaders
ard to call the workers to enlist in
the r. rl<s of the strikers who are
leading the fight against their ex-
ploiters. against hunger, and against
the labor takers.
At this moment when we go to
press, the results are net yet known
Today, Tuesday, a committee of the
strikers will visit Mayor Enchcliffe
to protest against the police terror
and to expose the mayors role in
the fake strike, which he, together
with group of labor bureaucrats are
planning.

cutting in the Rhode Island textile
mills where the National Textile
Workers Union is leading strike
against wage cuts. Lamont's letter,
formulated by President Hoover, says
that wage cuts are thoroughly justf-
fled.
This latest announcement shows
the hypocricy and lying character of
the Hoover snnouncements against
wage cuts. This is the same policy
that President Green of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor has follow
ed in telling the workers he was
against wage cuts but in reality help
ing the bosses to cut wages.
The new announcement Of wage
cut takes place on the eve of the
August first anti-war demonstrations
called by the Communist Party
against the imperialist war prepara-
tions, against wage cuts and hunger.
Wage cuts will take place around
August 1st in the United States Steel
Corporation plants, on the Missouri
Pacific Railroad. on the BMT sub
way, with 10000 affected in New
York, and in dozens of other indus
tries.
The Wall Street government IN
Washington is for these wage cuts
and will use all its force to help
put them over The A. F. of L. Of
ficialdom has been supporting the
Hoover wage cutting drive.
The present announcement is the
logical outflow of the 1929 Hoover
business conference at which Hoover
said there would be mo wage cuts,
and no strikes" Out OF this policy
the bosses developed their wage cut
ting drive.
The wage cutting drive will be in
tensified. The capitalist crisis is
growing worse-thousand more are
being thrown on the streets TO starve.
All out on August First against the
imperialist war preparations Against
war upon the workers at home and
abroad! Join the demonstrations
under the leadership of the Commu-
mist Party and Trade Union Unity
League! Demand the war funds be
turned over to the unemployed for
unemployment insurance.
