wages higher than ever. During the
present panic retail food prices have
held up rather better than wage
rates. A committee of the U. S.

stability of retail food prices was

during the campaign that when
elected he would see to it that the
coal and iron police, for so long
used by the coal operators and iron
companies to break strikes and in
tinidate the workers, would be done
away with. This was swallowed,
hook, line and sinker, by the reac-
ticnary labor officials, and, accord
ingly, they endorsed him. AS a re-
suit of that and other fake prom
ises used in the election campaign
Pinchot carried the coal districts,
both the anthracite and the bitumin-
Gus, by an overwhelming majority.
Pinchot, faithful agent of the
bosses, could see in view of the
sharpening crisis and the worsened
conditions of the workers that strikes
will take place in other industries
as well, and it would be necessary to
extend the use of police force with
more power and on a large field
So h thought he could kill two birds
with one stone. He introduced a
bill in the legislature providing for
the setting up of an industrial police.
This industrial police would be
extended to many more industries
and at the same time would appa-
rently do away with the notorious
name of the Coal and Iron Police.
This police would be paid by the
state and it would take the burden
off of the coal companies of keeping
up a special police force.
Wishing to whitewash himself in
view of the promise that he made
during the election campaign, Pin
chot brought into play the dema-
gogic use of conference which was
to discuss the two bills. This con-
ference was called for Friday, March
20, at $3.50 p. m. in the governors
office. He had invited to this con-
ference some misleaders of the A.

TRY RAILROAD
FIVE NIILITANTS
N. J. Workers Facing
Death Sentence

PATERSON, March 22.-With the
death Saturday night of Max Urban,
boss of the silk mill at SO Madison
Ave, as result of blows received
on February 10, the police are try
ing to railroad five militant workers
to death.
On February 10 while the workers
of this mill were on strike and were
picketing the mill, the boss's wife,
Mrs. Urban, engaged herself in an
alteration with Mrs. Helen Gershon-
owitz, a strike leader. Urban was
standing nearby and was attacked by
some other men, non-Strikers, who
came up while the alteration was
on. Urban had many enemies among
the bootleggers and gangsters with
which element he carried on con-
siderable traffic.
Urban had been confined to the
hospital since the attack. The police
made no attempt to find out who had
struck him down, but Immediately ar
rested the most militant of the
strikers. The International Labor
Defense took up their defense. The
workers we're released on $lI00 bond
each.
Following Urban's death Saturday
night, the police at once rearrested
the strike leaders and are holding
them without bail "for further in
vestigation." Those arrested are

slaughter and murder in the first
degree, involving the death sentence,
as part of the efforts of the bosses
to terrorize and punish all militant
workers and rob the working class of
its best fighters. .
The International Labor Defense is
handling the case and calls upon the
workers to register mass protests
against this frame-up as the most eff
fective way of forcing the bosses to
free these workers.

JAkIRA MEMORIAL MEETING AT
WORKERS CENTER TODAY AT !

evening and all day Sunday a steady
stream of his comrades and revolu-
tionary workers have viewed the
body and paid their last honors to
this self-sacrificing revolutionist.
Following the memorial meeting,
at which Foster, Tratchenberg, Maui
rer and Amter will speak, there will
be a funeral march from the Cen
ter at IS East 18th Street to 59th

The International Red Aid, adj
yised by cable Of the death of Com
rade Jakira, has sent the following
cable to the LID:
international Red Aid feels
deeply the loss of brave fighter Jak-
ira, Trusts thousand workers will
fill his place"
Immediately following the news of
Jakira's death, the International
Labor Defense issued to all districts
and sub districts of the organization
as well as to the international Red
Aid the following statement:
"Comrade Abram Jakira, assistant
secretary of the International Labor
Defense is now dead. His loss to the
LID. and to the revolutionary move
ment is a great one. His every con-
Germ even while he was sick has
been for the growth and strengthen
ing of the class struggle. The spread
ing of the struggle throughout the
world gave him courage while he was
on his death bed, and he hoped very
much to be able to return to work.
He gave his life to the revolutionary
movement.
His memory and tribute to his
services must be raised at every
meeting within the next few weeks
especially at the March % meetings
His great devotion to our cause must
be hailed as an example, and a call
made on all workers and especially
to all LID. functionaries to make
more than good his loss, recruiting
many hundreds of workers into men,

At the same time that the working
class is preparing to make March %
a day of national protest and strug-

the bosses are feverishly trying to
smash the growing unity Of Negro and
white workers, native and foreign
born. In the South, the vicious pic

and South, Negro and white, native
and foreign born, they will demon

Paris Communards of 1871.
Gross Misheff, editor of the Bull

CALL MASS PICKET
De Luxe Cigar Factory
This Morning

NEW YORK.-The striking cigar
workers of the Blum De Luxe Cigar
Factory at 40 East End Ave will stage
a mass picketing before the factory
today at o'clock. Picketing will
continue throughout the day until 3
O'Clock, and will be repeated every

Railroad transportation is not in
cluded in the above figures. Official
statistics of the Interstate Commerce
Commission show that during 1880
the number of wage-earners of Glass
I railroads dropped by 10000, from
l4380o0 to l,242,208, or IA per cent.
But payrolls fell 10 per cent, due
largely to the decrease in the amount

overtime work. At the same time.
the number of executive official and

LIBBY SAYS WAR
ON SOVIETS Is
BEING PREPARED
But Pacifist Does Not
Want Workers to Act

WASHINGTON, March 22.-War is
being prepared internationally against
the Soviet Union, declared Frederick
j. Libby, executive secretary of the
National Council for the Prevention
of War, pacifist organization, whose
purpose it is to hide the war prep
arations behind the mask of pacifisnl.
After pointing out that the war
drive against the Soviet Union sis
internationally directed" Libby goes
on to say. IF France or a Tory gov
eminent in Great Britain were to
take action against Russia even to
declaring war, the ground has been
prepared for calling it a holy war"
He absolves the Labor Party and
the American government from their
foremost shade in preparing this war.
Instead of admitting that Hoover.
Stimson and the other capitalist lead
ers are driving to war he throws the
whole blame on Matthew Vol of the
Civic Federation and Ham Fish. THE
atrocity stories, OH which war against
Germany was fought, have been dup
Heated against Russia, at times with
forged documents. A war mind has
been created and is being fostcred by
organized and highly financed prop
uganda both in our country and
abroad" he says.
But in concluding he asks faith in
peace pacts, particularly the Kellogg
Pact, which Stimson used in trying
to start war against the Soviet
Union. The pacifists, while admitting
war is growing nearer, try to keep
back the revolutionary fighting spirit
of the working class, the only force
able to stop war by an overthrow of
capitalism, and who if war breaks out
can end the system which creates
it.
