MIDDLE VILLAGE
BREAD STRIKE
Thousand R a | | y to
Fight High Costs

The bread strike of the Middle
Village housewives brought over
1000 workers out on the streets last
night in the greatest open air meet
ing this community has ever seen.
In defiance of the threats of the
Weiss bakery. the meeting was held
right opposite the store while the
bakery boss stood by helpless in the
face Of the situation.
The first victory of the strike was
announced at this meeting, the set
Element with the Gershenblatt
bakery located at Morton Avenue.
The prices of bread we're reduced as
follows: bread from cents to
cents loaf; rolls from "a cents to
10 cents dozen, white loaf from
25 cents to 20 cents and buns and
crullres from 20 cents to Is cents a
dozen.
United Council Leads.
One Of the bakers during the
afternoon had declared fatty that
he would not give in to the demands
but would act "charitably- and
contribute If necessary 90 dozen rolls
a day to those who we're in need
This was fatty rejected by the
Strike Committee and the indica-
tons are that this boss along with
Weiss will either yield or be forced
out of the neighborhood.
The mass meeting unanimously
adopted a resolution in support of
the Scottsboro Defense and shouted
approval on the vote to send q tele-
gram TO B. M. Miller, Gov. of Ala

800 Block Eviction
In Indianapolis:
Parade Red Flags

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 90
Three hundred workers took part in
a mass meeting May Is here to stop
the eviction of a man with three
children who had been out of work
for six months.
A committee of the unemployed
branch knocked on all the doors in
the neighborhood and called them
together.
The constable and three squads of
city police tried to chase them away
and failed. The police finally be-
came SO convinced of the militancy
of the workers that they stated I'VE
don't care what you do"
What these workers did was first
to put the furniture all back in, then
to parade the streets with red flags,
block traffic, stop a train and gem
orally arouse the town.

The demonstration was a mobili-
cation for the hunger march on the

in ringing terms the state bill to
register, which means to blacklist
and deport in many cases, all for

The Workers International Relief

Boss Press Admits That Charge of Dumping
Against Soviet Is Tissue of Lies

let Union, the workers fatherland,
was advancing in the midst of uni
versal chaos.
THE analysis of the situation made
by Maxim Litvinoff. Foreign Commits
sar of the Soviet Union, is privately
considered fair and reasonable
statement. admits William Bird,
New York Sun correspondent in &C.
neva. Furthermore, Mr.. Bird goes on
to make some more admissions about
the capitalist lies against the Soviet
Union:
Privately II is admitted that the
so-called dumping of raw materials
by Russia has not been a serious
factor in the present economic
crisis, but has frequently served as
a convenient abb for bad conditions
due to other causes.

working class, 1t calls for prole-
tartan struggle against this mis-
cry. Against the liberal paralysis
of democratic phrases which in
tend to cover up the capitalist die
tatorship it proposes an end to this
dictatorship by means of the fist of
the proletarian revolution.
The more important the exist
ence of our Daily Worker, the
greater must be the efforts to
guarantee this existence. This is
the more necessary because the
greater the value of the Daily
Worker for the working class, the
more persistent become the efforts
of the capitalist class to suppress
lit.
Under these conditions the call
of our Daily Worker for help and
the demand to organize for the
$4,000 Drive must receive the
immediate attention and enthu-
siastic response from every revo-
lutionary worker. Every Com
munist must bring this call of the
Daily Worker for help to the at
tention Of the workers in his fac
tory, workshop, mill or mine, as
we'll as into the workers organiza-
lions where he is a member. Every
revolutionary union or working
class organization must constitute
itself into an auxiliary force for
making the Daily Worker Drive a
success. Every unemployed coun-
Gil must organize a canvass in
shops and homes for the success
of the Daily Worker Drive.
In order to live the Daily Worker
must get every cent of the S35, 1000
proposed to be raised.
The question whether the Daily
Worker shall live we answer with
the shout: LONG LIVE THE
DAILY WORKER!

Worker, so E. 18th Street, New

Gall Of Daily Worker for $4,000
Must Receive Immediate Response"
Central Committee, g. P, IT, S. A

Yesterday the Daily Worker
opened it's drive to collect $35,000.
This sum is necessary to make
possible the further existence of
the Daily. To be successful this
Drive demands the energy, enthu-
siasm and the devotion of every
revolutionist.
An economic crisis is shaking
the capitalist world to it's founda-
ton. Unemployment, misery and
starvation are shaking the conf
dence in capitalism Of larg e
masses of workers. The rising
structure of Socialism in the Soviet
Union is replacing this confidence
with confidence in the powers of
the working class.
But in spite of all this capitalism
is not abdicating. 1t fights every
inch of the road. It fights with
every means Of government power
at it's disposal. 1t cuts wages It
clubs striking and demonstrating
workers It prosecutes working

midates the Negro masses. 1t
arms for imperialist and for anti
Soviet war. 1t suppresses the re-
volutionary p e S. 1t attempts
to crush all signs Of opposition I'M
der the iron heel of it's political die
tatorship.
Under these conditions the eX-
istence of a revolutionary paper is
doubly difficult; but it is also ne
cessary. Under these conditions
our Daily Worker is a mighty
weapon in the hands of the work
ing class. 1t is the spokesman, the
and leader of the work
ing class. Against the lies and
forgeries of the capitalist press
about the Soviet Union, it shows
the facts. Against the voice of
profit interests out of the columns
of the capitalist press, it raises the
voice Of proletarian interests.
Against the social demagogy and
hypocrisy about the misery of the

MAY TAKE SECRET POLL TO DECIDE
 TEXTILE STRIKE

Lawrence, Mass, Nov 2-(U. P.) A secret poll may be taken with in few days to determine if 20,- 900 textile workers here and in Andover wish to continue the strike begun four weeks ago in protest against a 10 per cent wage cut, it was indicated to-day. The strike already has cost the work ers approximately $2,000,00O in payrolls. Peter Carr, public safety commissioner. stated yesterday that a proposal for settlement of the strike had been accepted by one side, and was being considered by the other. Union leaders, however, said they knew nothing of the pro- posal.
 The local strike was responsible indirectly for shutdown of the American Woolen company's Assa- bet Mill in Maynard, employing 1,200 operatives. Eighteen girl em- ployes who refused to work on goods transferred to the Maynard plant from strike-shut American Woolen Company mills here were discharged. As result of the dis charges other workers in the mill threatened strike. Yesterday shut down notices were posted.

 In the statement given to the local police to-day it was reported that both MT and Mrs Widman had suffered minor injuries in the crash, but preferred to continue on and have them attended to by their family doctor.
 The report failed to give any inkling as to how the accident oc- cured. The police have only report from MT Hershler.
