Textile Workers
Urged to Strike
at New Pay-Cut

LOWELL, MAsS.-The bosses Of
the United States Bunting Co., the
Amis Worsted Co. and the Royal
Worsted Co. announced on Nov. IA
that they would slash the wages Of
the workers in their respective

similar wage-cut has been an
nounced to take place in the Law
renee Manufacturing Co. in Law
renee.
Only few days now remain
before the bosses will attempt to
put over the cut. The workers in
the mills viii have to act quickly

action in every department of the
mills. Organize mill committees
composed of workers from every
department. Get in touch with
the local of the National Textile
Workers Union. Strike against the

Miners Fight Blacklist i'm Fox Ridge, Ky.

The local had a special meeting to
try to come to some kind Of an agree
ment with the company. We sent a
committee of three to the boss, but
he would not agree ON anything, but
to let the miners go back to work
just like they came out. The only
thing we gained in our strike was
one dollar taken from each ton Of
house coal All of the miners re-
turned to work on October 28th. No
one was satisfied to return to work,
but we did not want these II men
blacklisted and we were forced back
to work by the boss and Smith.
Here is list of names of the min
ers that went back to scab the mines:
Evart Daffon, Bill Rogers, Clarence
woodward, Clarence Middleton, Char
ley Martin, George Rogers, Perry
Messer. Here are the names who
turned in their membership cards:
Robert Setser, Bill Rogers, Robert

spite the mass raids and arrests, the
revolutionary movement in Korea is
steadily growing. The dissolution OF
working class organizations and the
closing down Of Korean schools by
the Japanese authorities has deve1-
oped into system. Arrests are now
being made for nothing more than
the singing of revolutionary songs.
No less than 100 young peasants we're
arrested recently in the province of
Hangjoeng for this crime.
According to a report from jap
anese sources a Communist organiza-
ton has been discovered amongst the
railwaymen in Seoul. The organiza-

tons in Itcheon, Pushan, Hoimin and
Funian. Anti-Japanese demonstra-
tons are becoming more and more
frequent.

On November 9Th, a widow and her

CHARLOTTE. N. c., Nov. IS
While the local press is crying for
war on the Soviet Union the Commu-
mist Party and the Young Communist
League here are preparing for a dis
trict wide anti-war protest demon
stration on Nov. 81. Thousands of
local leaflets distributed throughout
the state of North Carolina and Vir-
GINA. Charlotte, N. c., will be the
center Of the campaign in this part of
the South against the organized
slaughter Of the workers by Wall st.

World War that was Ito end wars .
They know they found on the return
those who came back unemployment,
bread lines, segregation, jimcrowisn,
worse starvation than the workers
had ever seen.
Throughout the United States on
Nov. 81, there will be similar demon

workers organizations, to rally the
workers against the war preparations
and the, imperialists' drive for war
against the Soviet Union.

No doubt the company is afraid of

A United Press dispatch from Tsit-

Fighting between the japanese

Enforced by the arrival of ar
tillery, armored cars and airplanes,
the japanese began their drive to
seize the key city of fsitsihar,

controlled by the Chinese"

In the meantime, Japan is rushing
additional troops to Manchuria. A

"a fresh brigade of Japanese ar

The cynical attitude of the Japa-

possible for the Japanese forces to

Soviet Protests to Japan Against
ISLANDERS
Walter Duranty, New York Times
correspondent in Moscow, reports tc
his paper, that tho Soviet Unior
has made a stiff protest to the
Japanese ambassador in Moscow
against the unfounded, false, con,
scienceless and provocative lies o.

Foreign Commissar Maxim Lit
vinoff tonight informed the Japa-
nese ambassador here, Koki Hirota,
that the Soviet Government had
information that a Japanese mill
tary command was preparing to
\cut the Chinese Eastern Railway
in the vicinity Of Tsitsihar. M.
Lityinoff called the attention of
Ambassador Hirota to his previ-
GUS assurances that the interests
Of Russia in Manchuria would be
protected. He declared that the
Soviet Government considers that
these assurances remain in force
now and shall not be broken
Asserting that Japanese militia
ry circles were continuing to trans
nit all sorts of hurnors, which are
quite unfounded, false, conscience
less and provocative the Soviet
Foreign Commissar referred to a
recent Mukden dispatch quoting
the Japanese military authorities
as stating that 1000 Chinese and
Korean Communists and several
Car loads OF ammunition were be-
ing moved southwark from Sow
ct border points.
IN. Litviinoff expressed regret
that the declaration of Acting For
eign Commissar L. M. Karakhan
on Oct. %, denying that Soviet
military aid had been extended to
China, had proved ineffective
