To the Striking Textile Workers Of Lawrence:

League greets and endorses the valiant strike of the
$4,000 Lawrence textile workers against the wage cut,
We urge the textile workers to stand sondy against
this assault upon their standards of living. The

holders by forcing los, 100000 men, women and chill

levels proposes to still further deepen the poverty
and misery of the workers by mass unemployment and
lower wages This wage cut must be defeated. If
not the bosses will quickly seize the opportunity to
enforce wage cuts and to drive the workers down to
the Sc week wages of the Southern textile workers.
The Trade Union Unity League pledges fullest support
to the workers in this fight against this cutting

Workers for Next War

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Oct. ID.
Besides negotiating a loan of $780,
100000 from French imperialism to
strengthen its army. the czech mill
tary authorities are taking active
steps to prepare for war against the
Soviet Union. They are going into
the factories and registering the
workers for war.
At the beginning of September the
workers of a Prague factory we're
given military QUESTIONABLE to full
out. Besides various information and
military data, every workman had to
reply to the question of whether he
had received instructions about where
he had to report himself in case of
war. The QUESTIONABLE stated among
other supplementary remarks that
any alteration taking place in the
personal military data must be re-
ported at once to the wages office
of the factory. We see that Czecho-
slovakian imperialism even presses
the wages offices of the works and
factories into its apparatus of mob
ilization.
Besides this, the military papers
have been called in for special reg
istration during the last few days. of
all workers employed in any connec-
ton with aeroplane building, This
fact too is of paramount Importance
for the organization of preparations
for war.
