NEW YORK.-That it is not his
fellow Socialists" who make it diff
cult for him to put over the pro-
gram OF the leading British bankers
and other exploiters, but the rank
and file trade unionists who show
signs of putting up militant class
fight, was the declaration made Sum

Showing his basic agreement with
the so-called opposition leaders like
Henderson and company in the Ia
Dor party and Trade Union Council,
Ramsay Macdonald, leader of the
new British imperialist national coal
ition government, said:
"It is not the Socialists who stand
in our path. 1t is the trade union
section which opposes US. The trade
urlionist chat is, the rank and file
worker looks at his money and says,
I am this much poorer"
In short, Macdonald does not fear

Election Meeting Is
Broken Up By Cops
in Port Richmond

NEW YORK.-An election cam
paign meeting Of the Communist
Party was broken up last Saturday
night by Port Richmond police in
Staten Island.
A permit for the meeting had been
secured over the telephone. Between
four and five hundred workers we're
listening TO the speakers when, after
the meeting had proceeded for more
than an hour, half a dozen police
thugs demanded Of the speaker a
written permit for the meeting. The
speaker informed him that as usual
with election campaign meetings no
written permit was required. The po-
lice then demanded that the meeting
be closed. The speakers refused and
continued TO address the workers, ap-
pealing to the workers to support
their right Of free speech and free
dom of assembly. The crowd cheered
the speaker.
The police then tried TO break up
the meeting by the tactic of "invit-
viting the speaker to come with him
to find out about the permit. The
speaker insisted that the police
should themselves find out about the
permit. Finally some one of the
committee volunteered to go with the
officers. The desk sergeant informed
the officers the meeting was proper
but should be moved to the next
corner.
The meeting was moved. when a
police sergeant appeared and started
the argument all over again. In
formed of what had taken place, he
pulled the speaker from the platform
and threatened him with arrest, and
with half a dozen other uniformed
thugs attacked the crowd of workers,
breaking up the meeting.
At the same time a meeting which
the socialist" party was attempting
to hold on another corner was al
lowed to proceed. This meeting had
no audience as all Of the workers had
come over to the Communist meet
ing. 1t was the socialist gang which
urged their police allies TO break up
the meeting.

Conference Friday to Fight

Delegates to WIR Conf. Report On Building
of Workers International Relief

T.W. Associated leaders. These mis-
leaders try every method to prevent
the unity of all the strikers. At the
Gilt Edge Building, Monday morning
the picket line OF the N.T.W and the
U.T.W. workers of the Prudential
Silk Company was being led by Ben
Rirshbaum of the NTWU. The UT.
w agent tried to break the unity Of
the picketers by making vicious re-
marks about a NTW,U captain lead
ing the line. He even went so far
as to try and force a captain of the
U.T.W. TO head the line. The workers
both U.TW. and N.TWU. protested
against these actions. The U.TW
workers asked what difference 1t
made if the line we're led by a N.T.W
U. captain so long as they succeeded
in preventing workers from scabbing
in the shop.
AFL Tries to Break Unity
The same attempt to break the
unity of the strikers was shown at
the picket line at the Mercantile Silk
Co. on Madison Ave. Here two NTWU
workers joined the picket line of
seven being led by captain. They
discussed the need for unity with
the other workers on the picket line.
They pointed out they could get out
the scabS better If they were united
and also discussed the Friday con-
ference with these workers. The UTW
workers we're interested in the plans
for unity but as soon as the UTW
captain noticed this he tried to iso-
late the NTWU strikers. He demand
ed that the workers march two by
two and that those from the shop
should march together while all other
workers should march separately. The
UTW-Associated takers do not want
unity, because If the workers are
united in struggle they cannot be sold
out by the takers.
The delegates to the Workers In
ternational Relief conference at
Pittsburgh reported at the mass
meeting this morning. They saw and
heard of the dire need of relief for
the miners and pointed out the need
for relief and the building Of the
WIR not only for the miners but for
the textile and all other struggles of
the working class.
The Lithuanian workers at their
outing yesterday raised money for
the relief Of the textile workers by
selling clothing, articles and furni-
ture. They have decided to have
these picnics every two weeks. The
admission Is free and all money COL
lected is turned over to the relief
fund.
A mass meeting is being called for
Wednesday at the Turn Hall by the
Women's Department Of the NTWU
for the purpose of hearing a speaker
who has just returned from the So
Wet Union who will describe the ia
