1.-THE meaning is clear. There is
no word about continuing this

The conclusion Is that,

to the idea that from now on the
bargains must be between America
and France, with our old beloved

ing the political conclusions Of the
weakened position OF the British i'm

a New York Times dispatch, prob
lens which both statesmen were
agreed were driving fast toward an
ultimate solution one way or an
other"
The absence Of any mention Of the
Manchurian situation in the official
statement Of Hoover and Laval
means that In their secret agree
ments there is joint support for the
redivision of China and for the car

empire.

L0NGSHORENIEN IN
BOSTON DEFEAT
RYAN BETRAYALS
Industrial Union Is
Issuing Program

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 2T.-The
strike of the $500 Boston 1ongshore-
men and freighthandlers took more
determined turn when Joseph Ryan,
international president Of the LILA.
addressed the three locals involved
in the strike at separate meetings in
an effort to obtain a split vote and
thus divide the men. There was an
unanimous reection on the part Of
the longshoremen Of the shipowners'
proposal and a vote for the comm
uation of the strike.
1t was not until Ryan was cornered
that he promised" to call out the
members Of the lila in other ports
where they were working ships han
died by scab labor in the Port Of Bos-
ton. While the mass pressure Of the
rank and file forced Ryan into max
ing this promise it remains to be seen
to what extent he means to go thru
with it. The ports Of Brooklyn, New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore
should be out tomorrow If Ryan is
sincere.
Refuse City Relief
In the meanwhile, the city relief
has turned down the longshoremen
who have been striking as well as the
SoIdiers' relief who had been handing
out a few morsals TO the ex-service-
men involved in the strike. The LILA
has thus far refused to even discuss
the question of relief.
In view Of the fact that Ryan was
unsuccessful in his attempt to cause
split it is now feared by the long
shoremen that his next move will be
to bring the matter up befyore the
Board of Cancellation and Arbitration.
Industrial Union Proposals
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union proposes TO the rank and file
of the LILA the following:
1. To call for immediate action In
spreading the strike TO as TO force the
hand of Ryan and the shipping In
tereSts.
2. To demand strikers relief from
the international body.
3. To organize real picket lines In
volving the entire membership.
4. To elect a rank and file strike
committee to deal directly with the
shipping interests, giving them spe-
cific instructions to reject taking seats
with the arbitration board.

in the actual conduct of the strike,
Stachel stated, are, in addition to
the above, development Of local lead
ers, mill and departmental organiza-
ton, mill demands, one picket line
defeat Of U. T. w. attempts to split
it,, freezing out the U. T. w. leaders
by making our militancy and activity
on the picket line obvious, and thus
exposing the A. F. of L. leaders who
will try to hold the pickets back.
Russak, representative in Lawrenct
of the national board of the union,
stated that the immediate task Of
the national board itself is to mob
ilize the whole union back of the
strike.
Both Russak and Stachel laid
heavy emphasis on the holding of re-
lief conferences in various sections
and building of relief committees
throughout the textile industry and
throughout all industries. With this
goes spread of the strike itself, par
ticularl ythrough the mills which the
American Wooden Co. has had closed
down in other cities, but is now try
ing to reopen.
President Reid reported that or
ganizers were already on the way to
the American Wooden Co. mill in
Utica, which the company has an
nounced it will reopen. He opened
the question of registration of the
strikers. and Of providing plenty of
meeting places.
Ann Burlak, Blackstone Valley or
ganizer, reported that wage-cuts are
sweeping the Blackstone Valley, that
there is preliminary conference of
delegates from six mills prepared, and
that strike action is probable in the
near future.
A motion was passed unanimously
to have the National Bureau of the
union prepare and publish, to be
discussed in Lawrence, a resolution
embodying decisions along the line
of Stachels and Russak's reports. A
milton to get especially French and
Syrian organizers for Lawrence was
adopted. Letters and kilograms of
greetings to Pat Devine, William
Murdoch and Edith Berkman, with
demands for their release, and re-
lease Of all other class-war prison
ers, was adopted. Berkman and
Murdoch sent written greetings and
retorts to the convention. A leaflet
is to be issued, calling on all textile
workers to support the Lawrence
strike.
The National Bureau was ordered
to prepare new cards and to issue
the official newspaper of the union.
There were two interruptions of the
session Sunday. One was when I'm

other detective walked in, showed

He points out further that the ex-

In week"
Bosses and u. T. w.
II was brought out that United
Textile Workers organizers were
brought in just a few months before
the wage-cut and as part OF the
wage-cutting program. Even now
Riviere Of the U. T. W. Is trying to
cripple the picket lines by selecting
the best fighters and giving them
jobs in American WOODEN mills in
other cities. In some mills the
white collar" staff has joined the
U. T. w. In a block, and evidently
under orders.
A discussion took place on the
necessity Of raising departmental de-
mands at meetings Of all the work.
ers in each department, the case OF
the Bloom Mill strike, which ended
with workers meeting in the hall and
deciding who was to go back being
cited as one case in which organiza-
ton Is preserved through the de-
partmental meetings. A full discus
sion of organization and tactics on
the picket lines took place. There
was drawing Of more Of the rank
and file strikers into leadership of
the strike.
Stachel outlined the three main
tasks as being: ID The winning Of
the Lawrance strike; 90 the mob
ilization behind the strike Of all tex
tile workers; 90 the mobilization Of
the support Of all workers in all in
dustries.
Stachel told of the 100000 work
ers affected by the new wage-cuts
started by the U. S. Steel Corpora
ton, and spreading in all industries,
with the first organized resistance
coming from Lawrence. The millions
of workers facing or now enduring
wage-cuts will regard this strike as
their own fight, he predicted. He
considered the strategy of the en-
ployers in Lawrence to be to weaken
the strikers by hunger, then to
launch terror of arrests ana
smashed heads, coupled with promises
issued by fake arbitration boards and
with the cooperation of the United
Textile Workers Union leaders. He
analysed the present tendency Of the
U. T. w. chiefs to use radical phrases
as recognition on their part Of their
slim hold on the workers, who de-
mand strike activity. But the U. t.
w. has not yet delivered the goods,
and some Lawrence boss agncis, like
the Sunday papers, are scared OF the
unity of the workers against the 10
per cent cut, and worried over the
necessity the U. T. w. officials find
themselves in Of yielding at least in
words TO the militancy Of the masses.
Build United Front"
"Our slogan" said Stachel, sis for
the struggle Of all the workers
against all those who stand for wage
cuts. We must build United Front
Rank and File Strike Committee
that can speak in the name OF all
the strikers and actually lead the
strike"
The main things to bear in mind
