WORKERS RELIEF
HELPED TO WIN
WEAVERS' STRIKE
British "Worker" Com,

NEW YORK-The English work
err" official organ Of the National
Minority Movement, in a current is
sue commends the work of the Work
ers' International Relief in conneC-
ton with the victory of the English
textile workers in their recent strug
gle against the eight looms to man
system. 1t states that the work Of
the w. I. r. in maintaining the
strike, by setting up Of food kitchens
for the strikers and their dependents,
was a decisive aid to victory, In
outlining the lessons of the strike,
and of the retreat of the employers
before the solidarity of the workers
and their refusal to negotiate through
the small committee of the reaction
airy unions, the Worker" states, in
part:
"The defeat of the employers is a
great victory for the weavers and the
entire working class and marks the
turning point in the economic strug-
giles of the working class. During
the struggle the weavers displayed a
solid and determined front which
baffled all the attempts of the en-
ployers, the labor government and
the trade union reaetionaries to
bring about defeat, and demon
strated to the whole working class
the tremendous power of working
class solidarity.
1.-THE employers have been COM
PEELED to retreat, but they will come
forward with greater determination
in the demand for 1917 per cent re-
duction in wages and the So 1-2-heur
week. They will gain encouragement
and inspiration from Snowden's
speech in the House of Commons,
which calls upon the forces of CAPT
talism to consolidate their ranks for
new and fieroer attacks upon the
conditions of the cotton workers and
all other sections of the working
class. These factors indicate that
the cotton workers must anticipate
and prepare for more intensive con-
flicts in the near future.
ut is an, undoubted fact that VIC
tory would not have been achieved
without the untiring activity of the
Textile Minority Movement and the
Central and Local Strike Commit
tees. The M. NJ. emerged as an in
dependent leadership which stiff
Tended the resistance of the workers
to negotiations, developed mass ac-
tivity in the fight for relief, COM
batted the treachery of the trade
union reactionaries by effective work
within the unions, and, in co-opera-
ton with the w. I. r., effectively Or
ganized food centers for the main
tenance of the strikers and their
dependents"

In joint statement issued yester-
day by the Council for the Pretec-
ton of Foreign Born the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights and the
International Labor Defense, the
need for sharp struggle against the
increasing attacks on the foreign
born is pointed out:
1.-THE government is already put
ting into effect the proposals of the
Fish Committee. In Lackawana,
workers are questioned in the steel
plant, immigration officials raid res
taurants and saloons, pick up work
ers on the streets like a g-catcher
picks up dogs, workers are surprised
in their homes as late as II o'clock
at night, in desperate effort on
the part of the capitalist government
to terrorize the working class.
workers are being arrested and
held for deportation in every struggle
o. the workers for better conditions.
In Lawrence, Mass, the leaders of
the textile strike are held for de-
portation. In New York City, Yoki-
men, the worker who was expelled
from the Communist Party for white
chauvinism, was arrested and held
for deportation after he had ex-
pressed solidarity with the Negro
workers and pledged himself to fight
increasingly for the class unity OF
Negro and white workers.

ers from demanding real relief, the
city for while gave part-time jobs
to a few hundred workers. These
part-time workers worked one week
and were off one week, They would
get an average of $3.50 a week. But
now the city has cut out this part
time work and laid off all these men.
Last week two Terra Gotta fac
tories shut down, leaving only enough
workers to keep the machines from
getting rusty, and to keep the build
ing clean. One OF these factories is
the Atlantic Terra Gotta Co.; it used
to employ 200 men. A short while
before it closed the plant was very
busy; the men we're working 1918
hours a day, getting ALSO cents an
hour. Now the workers are out on
the street unemployed.
The other factory is the New Jer-
sey Terra Gotta Co. Two years ago
this plant employed 500 men. Last
winter 800 men were working hours
q day, getting $3.50 cents an hour.

jury. Hurst also points out that the
Klansmen obviously thought him
dead when they left him, which ac-
counts for the general impression
that the two men had been MUIR
dered. He confirms the news that
they were rescued by poor Negro
farmers, and were badly dazed for
some time by their beating. During
this time the Negroes kept them hid
den. He was able to recognize a
Dallas city official in the gang of
Klansmen that tortured him.
The interview, as it appears in the
Dallas Dispatch, is as follows:
Coder exhibited a black eye, and
Hurst several bruises on his face.
Both explained that the worst
wounds were on the back and legs,
but they exhibited only the facial
evidence of the alleged smistreatnient.
1.-THE Communists declared Dallas
officers went to their cells and told
them the would be released if they
would promise to get out of town.
I'VE told them No, Hurst ex-
claimed, and Coder nodded.
I'VE were released suddenly, and
without ceremony, Coder went on.
We were thrown out of the Jail into
the arms of the group of men who
stood on the steps of the building.
They were armed, and they forced
us into two cars.

las and thru the town of Hutchins.
Not far from there, about mile
south, l guess, the cars turned off
the road near where small wooden
bridge crosses Cookies branch, a
small stream. Then I was beaten.
Hurst took up the story, saying
he had been forced to watch the
beating of Coder.
There were IL or IA men in the
group, Hurst said I recognized one
of them as city official. Another,
/ think, was the prize fighter who
beat up Coder in the jail. They used
ropes, and they beat him terribly,
finally throwing him into the water
of the branch, which was about
knee-deep and cold, They cursed
him.

again, to a place about two miles
away, They made me get thru a

1.-THE men then said they scarcely
remembered the events of the next
few hours, but said they were taken

where they were beaten.

Boston Sallies Tell
JObless to Read Bible
When They're Hungry

Boston. Mass.
Daily Worker:
A few weeks ago an unemployed
worker who was walking the streets,
hungry, was looking for a place to
get a meal. Finally he read sign
which read Salvation Army Head
quarters. He stopped inside and
asked the man if he could have a
meal. The man told him to hang
around, which he did.
Three hours later the man i'm
charge called him in. There lay
before him doughnut and cup
of coffee. The man in charge then
told him to read the Bible and pray
to Jesus AMI then he would get his
meal. The unemployed worker then
told him to cook a rabbit and he
walked out.
The worker would rather starve
than have to give concessions to
these fake relief giyers.

Starvation, Discrimination.

ST, LOUIS, Mo, Marchc 20.--The
Citizens Committee on Relief and
Unemployment having spent all its
funds, is asking 100000 more and un-
less this money is squeezed out Of

workers, Mr.. Halves chairman of the
Finance Division, says the charity ac-
tiyities of the committee will be
stopped.
The committee has spent 100000
since November, this money being ap-
prepriated by the city mainly as a
result OF the activities of the COM
munist Party and the Unemployed
Council. The Citizens Committee
works through six charity organiza-
tons which are now giving relief to
10000 families. The committee adj
naits $4,000 unemployed (Which is a
gross underestimation) and further
says that the Committee has taken

that for March 1891 the number of

j. s. WOMAN BACK
FROM ARCTIC TOUR
Mrs. Emma B. Dresser and
Son Guests on Maligin
M Northern Trip.
By the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
: MOSCOW, August 24.--Hunting po-
/ lar bear and reindeer, picking wild
; flowers in the Artic Circle, and seeing
3 fellow voyager saved after falling
through the ice were some OF the ex-
perienceS of Mrs. Emma b. Dresser,
SO, OF New York, who was one OF the
first tourists to venture into the Polar
regions.
She returned here yesterday with her
eon, Dan L. r. Dresser. Detroit engineer,
from a voyage OF more than month
in the far north on the Soviet ice
breaker Maligin.
They. with Mrs. Elizabeth Paterson,
also Of New York, and Gen. umberto
Mobile, italian explorer, were the only
tourists aboard.
4 A world traveller and hunter, Mrs.
Dresser said she went on the trip
lust for the fun of 1t and to see some
thing hadn't seen before"
we found it extremely interesting
and entirely comfortable" she said,
and we liked it immensely"
She added, as her son nodded assent,
eve shall go again at the f1rst OPP
portunity."
Mrs. Dresser is tall, stately woman.
She has hunted moose in Canada and
big-horn sheep in the American Rockies.
She came back from this trip with
one bear and several reindeer to her
credit. She shot the bear from the
boat breaking her eyeglasses when the
rife jammed, but reloading in time to
XIII it before it could swim out Of range.
Her son bagged the second Of three
bears killed by the party, and he also
shot several reindeer. The hunting was
not entirely for sport, because the re-
frigerators Of the Maligin developed a
defect when the ship was only q few
days out and most Of the perishable
food spoiled.
The party welcomed the reindeer
meat, which they all pronounced taste
full, and also the bear meat, although
they said the latter proved to be some-
what strong.
y Mr.. Dresser shot the first reindeer in
Nova zembla, barren, rocky land with
little vegetation.
A near -tragedy occurred when F.
Shhurg, German newspaper correspond
emit, fell through the ice on one OF the
stops the ship made to permit the pas
sengers to walk about. Members OF the
party pulled him to safety none the
shock.
Spending about three-fourths Of the
voyage cruising through the ice zone,
the Dressers were amazed to find pop
pies growing on Rudolf Island and for
.Tet-me-nots in Nova zembla.
On Rudolf Island the party visited
the camp of Anthony Fiala, American
explorer who spent some time there in
1905. They found intact much canned
food. which was left in q cache for the
possible use Of future explorers, but
