The New York Committee for the
Protection of the Foreign Born has
issued call to all working class or

city, asking them to organize the
fight against the terror on foreign
born. The statement says:
For the past two years the federal
government, led by Doak and Hoover,
has intensified it's terror against the
foreign born. Thousands of families
have been broken up by deportation.
Workers who have dared to demand
better working conditions or relief for
the unemployed have been terrorized
by immigration officials and local
police Secretary of Labor Doak has
used his deportation power as a
strikebreaking instrument.
Three hundred and thirty-six dele
gates of 81 nationalities, representing
223 organizations, pledged them
selves at the New York Conference
for the Protection of the Foreign
Born to fight against their reign OF
terror.
The conference, which was held on
Dec. 20, decided that in order to
stop this persecution city committees
for the protection of the foreign born
should be organized Immediately in
all surrounding cities. Members of
trade union and language organiza-
tions should Immediately call con-
ferences for the election of these
committees.
The following cities of the New
York district are urged to call con-
ferences: Yonkers, New York; White
Plains, N. Y; Ossining. NJ Y.
In New Jersey: Dover, Jersey City,
Union City, Hoboken, Newark, Eliza
beth, Perth Amboy, Paterson, West
New York, Linden, Bayonne, New
Brunswick, Passaic, Plainfield.
All organizations that are ready to
call local conferences should COM
municate with the New York District
Committee at 80 Union Square, Room

Silk Worker Dies
of Slow Hunger
Militant In Fight On
Wage Cuts

PATERSON, N. J. - Harlow Cole,
30, silk worker, died here of star
walton December 9, at GAS p. M, in
the Barnert Memorial Hospital, af-
ter bitter struggle against wage cuts
which meant virtual starvation for
himself and his family.
Cole was militant worker, and
had been on strike with the workers
of the Levine silk shop. During the
general silk strike Cole was active
on the picket line, being arrested sew
eral times.
Cole never complained about his
desperate need, but one day he came
into strike headquarters noticeably
broken up, and his eyes red with cry
ing. His eight-months-old baby boy
had died of pneumonia and Cole did
not have enough money to procure
a doctor before its death, and no
money for a decent burial after its
death.
Cole denied himself all but sand
wich or so day to keep his wife
and remaining two children from i'm
mediate starvation. His health brok-
en- and his strength undermined by
the long siege of hunger, Cole fell
sick and managed to get into the
hospital Sept. 10, from which he did
not return alive.
Coles widow and two small chill
dren, utterly destitute and penniless,
are in desperate straits now.
The National Textile Workers IN
ion yesterday sent out an appeal to
all workers and organizations to aid
the family of the stricken worker. All
funds should be sent to the union at
so Ellison ST., Paterson, N. j.

Pug" Parkinson, former Pitts

Parkinson's greatest perform
ance was against Notre Dame last

fensive game and he broke
through the entire Irish line to
run 95 yards for a touchdown.
Patsy Donovan will rely on his
two new backfield aces, George

Ekaitis played quarterback With

bringing the three local major
colleges to the point where
each is ready to play a 20

These negotiations represent
the elimination of a month

The pen is mightier than the

important question here today is
whether the Penn football team

Anderson plans to uncork on the

To listen to the hotel lobby ex.
perts around the town you would
not give the Red and Blue a
chance. But then, it is hard to
say whether any Of these experts
had any sleep last night. Penn
has a chance, but it's not so fat.

Pickens No Stranger

Briefly, Pickens, not a
stranger in our gates by any
means, but certainly not a
native, has done for the city's
unemployment movement, what
local unemployment officials
and universities were not able
to do for themselves, and
despite his shrinking attitude
regarding personal publicity in
the matter, he deserves his full
measure Of praise for doing
what 10 days ago appeared to
be the impossible.
Nor can too much be said
for George Washington Uni
versity whose athletic coach,
Jim Pixlee, sent the invitations
to Coaches Tommy Mills. of
Georgetown and Arthur Berg
mann, of Catholic University.
These invitations ignited the
spark that was needed to bring
to a head the tentative plan
authored by Pickens.
George Washington had such
confidence in the venture that
It assured PickenS, in writing,
that it will be responsible for
the estimated $500 expense
necessary to get the Alabama
team to come here. That the
gate will be many times that
with a Systematized ticket-sell-
ing plan such as Pickens is
able and experienced enough
to stimulate, is beyond ques-
ton.
He is due and will receive
the gratitude of Washington
for pulling this game out of
the Goals of destruction where
it seemed destined until other
efforts failed and he was given
q free hand.
