gree murder, embodied in himself all
the hypocrisy and cruelty OF his class.
AS one of the leaders of the Work

supposedly organized to help workers
improve their conditions, he contin-
ually mouthed left phrases" That
is to say, he expressed complete SYM
pathy with all the aims Of the most
militant workers in the organization.
Actually, however, wages and working
conditions in Urban's shop were
among the worst in the city Of Pat
erson.
1t was in keeping with Urban's
character that he make a visit to
Soviet Russia, ostensibly for pleasure
but actually to try to procure a lu-
crative contract with the workers
government. His exploiter's greed
stuck out all over his personality like
thorns on cactus and he wasn't in
Russia very long before he learned
that the Russian workers have a con-
tempt for him and his kind that they

called them being treated like kings
while he, the great Mr.. Urban OF Pat

Love" For Russia Turns To Hate.
The great love" which Urban ex-
pressed for Soviet Russia back in
Paterson turned to the bitterest kind
of hate during his stay in the only
workers republic. His puny mind de-
termined on revenge against all the
workers. He returned to the United
StateS-without a contract of course
and Immediately ended his agree
ment with the National Textile Work
ers Union, declaring that hereafter
his mill would be an open shop. For
this action he was expelled from the
international Workers Order.
Last January the workers employed
by Urban determined to strike against
their intolerable conditions. The
chances of success were good, the silk
workers of Paterson were not likely
to scab on their fellow workers even
though unemployment was wide

have accomplished the same pur-
pose by making man do twice as
much work for the same wages. By
doing this, open dissention among

Regardless of these shrewd tao

burdening the longer employed

In Ohio, the League of Struggle for

to the office they found that the
city would give them work, but no
pay. These workers were put to
work on various city jobs, such as
decorating the river, moving the city
hall, laying tile, etc. The only thing
the workers get in return for their
labor is the right to be on the city's
poor list and get the small ration of
groceries to keep them from actual
starvation. If this isn't forced labor,
let Mr.. Fish explain the term. The
workers of Waukesha are now or
