ready refer to Mosley as the Hitler of
England. The entire policy of the
British labor party under the Mac
Donald-Snowden leadership has been
to drive toward fascism through their
social-fascist action. Mosley is now
in the actual process of building the
fascist party. He still uses all sorts
of socialist sounding phrases to cover
up the real dictatorship plan of the
capitalists but the open fascist role of
the "lefts" of the labor party who
follow. Mosley is becoming clear to
every worker.
Several weeks ago Mosley issued
what he called Five Year Plan" for
British industry. This, was fascist
plan. an effort to stage off the rapid
decay of British capitalism. 1t was
directed against the workers. Mosley,

Lord Curzon, a vicious enemy of the
Soviet Union, is intimately connected
with the leading inlperialists of. Eng

supporters in the labor party as we'll

parties. His formation of an open
fascist party shows the role OF the
socialists" in paving the road for and
ushering in of fascism in an effort TO
keep back working class revolution.

to the workers who are on strike and

The bosses and the company unions
are against you They will reduce
your standard of living still more if
you do not fight. The very fact that
the present strike has already sue

templated wage-cuts in the shops
where you are still employed should
be enough proof to persuade you that
your bosses do not take into consid-

strength that you can enforce your

"Bear in mind that should the
bosses succeed in crushing the strike
all the contemplated wage-cuts which
were suspended for the moment will
be enforced, and your conditions will
become worse than before.

Dressmakers Start Mass Picketing
Today; W.I.R. Opens Food Kitchens
Five More Shops Join
Strike Despite Lull
Due to Holiday

NEW YORK. = Mass picketing at
7:30 today will mark the attempt of
the fighting dressmakers to carry
their strike into every shop in New
York.
Every worker in the city who finds
it possible is urged by the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union, af-
fihated with the T.U.UL., to join the
striking dressmakers today in the
picketing which will be such a vital
factor in the spreading of the strike
There is nothing that will create
solidarity among strikers as much as
the sight of solidarity. When dress
makers who have not yet joined their
striking workers see these
workers on the picket lines, they are
themselves inspired with the courage
to walk out.

Red Cross Gives Crumbs to
Starving Farmers Children
Red Cross Says, "To He'll With Feeding Starv-
ing Children, Give Us Money" Don't
Stand for Crumbs! All Out Feb. 25th
BY HARRISON GEORGE

We publish today, alongside this
story, the Photographic reprint Of
two letters, entitled AN Explana-
ton to Arkansas" 1t was taken from
the Press of Twin Falls. Idaho, and
the letter at the top was received by
the Idaho paper from C, NJ. Young,
publisher of the Helena World" of
Helena, Arkansas. Underneath that
letter, is the reply of the Twin Falls
Press.
Read this, farmers and workers!
Read this and understand the depths
of racketeering mendacity to which
the capitalist class descends! Read
this and know, positively, that the
Red Cross headed by Hoover, is de-
IberateIy starving toiling people to
death! Read this and understand
that it is interested only in getting
money for-WHAT? Certainly not
to feed anybody but the officers of
the Red Cross.
But, farmers, read this above all
to show you that you, yourselves,
must act! That you must form your
own Farmers Relief Councils; de-
mand that all Red Cross funds be
turned over to your own control for
distribution; demand other funds ap-
propriated already but kept from you
deliberately by the administration!
Here in the letter from Arkansas,
it is clearly said that Red Cross ere
lief" to children is about 2 and one
third cents week.! That they must
be fed "or disease will soon get them.
This is admitted over the signature

first attacked with clubs. Then the
police fired at the unemployed,
wouunding more than 100 workers.
Thirty we're arrested.
A heavy slash in employment and
still bigger wage-cuts for those left
at work is the story told by the last
pulib creport of the Illinois Depart
ment of Labor. Illinois is one of the
few industrial states, New York be-
ing another, which actually pretends
to publish the figures on unemploy-
ment. 1t is safe to say that both
New York and Illinois give the most
favorable picture they can, but even
so the record is one of unemploy-
ment still growing, and wage-cuts
spreading faster than unemployment.

report shows further reduction of
workers of 2.3 per cent in the month
ending Jan. is, 1881. 1t shows a
