400 SaItex WeaVers Strike;
Shelton Strike Is Spreading
Same Company Owns Both Mills; Struggle May
Extend to Uncasville; Fighting Speed-up
and AS Per Cent Wage Cut

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, March s.
Four hundred weavers of the day and
night shifts have walked out here at
the Saltex textile mills, owned by the
Blumenthal Co. The strike is in sup
port of the 300 woavers in the same
company's mills at Shelton, and
against the introduction Of the two
loom system, and wage cuts ranging
Up to as percent. Cuts and speedup
were the cause of the strike in Shell
ton
The Saltex strikers held a mass
meeting in st. Georges Hall, Bridge
port and elected a committee to see
the management and present de-
mands.
The Shelton strike is spreading.
The loom fiXers walked out this
morning. The strike may spread to
the Blumenthal mill in Uncasville.
The Shelton strikers invited in
speakers from the National Textile
Workers Union, and asked for advise
on the conduct of the strike. The
main point made by the N. T. w.
was the necessity of spreading the
struggle to other departments in the
Shelton mill, and to other mills.

How Abrdmoavitch Predicted
End OF Soviets in Year 1880

The trial OF the Menshevists in
the Soviet Union reaches all the
way over to America. Not only with
in the Soviet Union was the wrecking
work being carried on, but Abram-
ovitch, one of the figures involved,
came to New York in the early part
OF 1880, to enlist support for this
wrecking campaign.
In an interview with the New York
Times on January II, 1880, Abram-
owitch, with the full support of Hill
quit, Oneal, Norman Thomas, and
other leading socialists, said that 1.-The
next year or SO will bring great sur
prises to those people who have be-
come persuaded that the Bolsheviks
will remain in power forever"
Abramowitch evidently knew Of
some plan for ending the Bolshevik
regime. This plan was the war pro-
gram of French imperialism, organ
lied by BRAND and Poincare that
was to begin in 1880. Abramowitch
was helping to put it over. That
is why he spoke about great sur
prises" that would destroy the work.
ers' government "in the next year."
In all his talk and work, the So
cialist party of the United States
backed up Abramowitch with money,
with publicity, with organization.
They formed special alliance to
bring about the "great surprises"
which Abramowitch talked about so
knowingly.
When Abramowitch was In the
United States, Matthew Woll issued
vicious TRADE against the Boil
shevik government. Every worker
knows whom Matthew Woll repre-
sents. He is the voice Of the most
open, vicious enemies. not only of the
Soviet Union, but Of the American
workers as well.
Vol, together with Fish, leads the
attack against the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republic. VOL and Fish
would be the first to support any
armed intervention by any of the
imperialist. czarist or white guard
groups against the Soviet Union.

country into a capitalist land.
This is the role of the Socialists
in the Soviet Union. In the
capitalist countries, they help
murder workers to maintain capt.
alism.

MOSCOW, March Following the
testimony of Sher, the leading dc
PENDANT in the trial of the Menshe-
vik counter-revolutionists, now going
on, Berlatsky was called to testify.
Sher had told about Berlatsky's Men
shevist activity among the State
Bank employees and the establish

Berlatsky arrived in Moscow in 1924

ALBANY, N. Y, March 3.-When

legislature today to present demands
for food for the unemployed, state
troopers attacked them viciously with

Business stopped in the assembly

Today, at 4 p. m, after huge mass
meetings at which the hunger
marchers reported to the workers of
Albany the answer of the capitalist
government of the state of New York
to the demands of the unemployed
that they be allowed to live, these
same hunger marchers started out
to march again through all the cities

In each city, the representatives
of the jobless there will tell the
workers and unemployed workers
who sent them that the answer to
their call for bread to feed them
selves. the hungry wives and children
was. police clubs and brutal assault

The hunger marchers will point
out to starving unemployed and ex-

time to build such mass .organiza-

relief and insurance and shorter
