Laundry Strike Is
Spreading; Compel
Boss to Shut Down

NEW YORK.-The strike of the
laundry workers, both in the Super
fine and the Newstyle laundries, con-
Quoted by the Laundry Workers In
dustrial Union for the las two days,
is spreading.
In the Newstyle Laundry, at 10th
ST. and Third Ave, the ranks of the
strikers remain solid and they are
determined not only to reinstate the
fired Negro worker, but to also pre-
sent a full set of demands to the
boss. This is the first time that any
of these workers, colored or white,
have been in struggle, but they are
militant and so well did they do the
job that they compelled the boss to
shut the plant the first day.

PHOTO EXHIBIT OF
WOMEN IN U.S.S.R:
W'kers Center, March
LIST to 3rd

NEW YORK.-Women in the So
Wet Union work four days a week and
are off on the fifth. They work only
seven hours per day-and at the end
of their days work, are not the bag
gard, worn-out creatures that is rep
resentative of the working class wo-
men in the United States.
The excellent photos and posters
which will be exhibited at the Work
ers Center, IS E. 18th ST., on March /,
2 and 3, breathe a message Of life and
vitality, and show the path which the
working class women of the United
States should follow-so as to achieve
for themselves, what the working class
women of the Soviet Union have
achieved.
The pictures and posters show not
only the economic reconstruction In
which women take an active part-but
depict as well the sane attitude they
take towards health and sex. In the
Soviet Union, false pride, false beliefs
and false modesty have been elirni-
mated as well as illiteracy.
Glass conscious workers can do a
lot of good for the revolutionary
movement and for the working class
women, if they bring down to this ex-
hibit, their women shopmates and
friends.

FASCIST TRIES TO.
KILL DELEGATE.
TO SOVIET UNION.
Workers Seize Would
Be Assassin

CANTON, Ohio. - Last Sunday,
February 21st, a fascist attempt was
made to murder Comrade Koyacheff,
a Bulgarian worker who was del
egate to the Soviet Union. Comrade
Kovacheff is touring the country
under the Friends OF the Sovietfh
under the auspices of the Friends Of
the Soviet Union.
A mass meeting of the Bulgarian
workers was held in the City of Mas
sillon, Ohio, after which a banquet
was to be held at a restaurant.
Before the banquet took place one
of the Bulgarian workers who is more
or less friendly with q member OF
the American Legion, was warned by
the legionnaire that he should not go
to the banquet as there would be
trouble there. The worker, of course
notified the comrades and a defense
corp was organized to be on the
lookout for the man who was to do
the shooting.
The banquet was held as scheduled
and at nine o'clock this fascist who is
a Serbian came in. The workers had
their eyes on him and he merely sat
around until II o'clock when the
banquet was over and several workers
had already left. The rest were put
ting on their coats. The fascist got
up, called Conlrade Kovacheffs name
and pulled gun from his pocket
telling the workers that he was going
to shoot him. The workers grabbed
his arm before he had chance, and
as they we're taking the gun from
him he pulled the trigger shooting
two workers through the fleshy part
of the leg.
This attempt 10 murder Conlrade
Kovacheff was planned by the fas-
cist Macedonian Citizens League and
the American Legion. Comrade Ko-
Vacheff was warned by the members
Of the Macedonian fascist organiza-
ton that he would be shot for his
activity in building the Macedonian
Peoples League, an anti-fascist or
ganization of the Bulgarian and Ma
cedonian workers in this country,

Of the workers, took down ono oper-
ator and had him picket the shop
demanding that the boss settle with

In many cases, as soon as the
