WORKERS IN LYNN
MASS, RESISTING
CUT IN G.E. PLANT

LYNN, Mass, Feb. g. -- A wage
slash in the General Electric River
Works plant here has been tempo
rarily stopped by the fighting spirit
of the workers. However, unless the
workers prepare for organized strike
action, the bosses are determined TO
put over new wage cuts.
The Lynn sun" reporting the
wage cutting campaign and the re-
sistance of the workers, Gays:
Although there was continuance
of the wage slashing campaign at the
General Electric River Works plant
last week it was learned yesterday
that the general slashing OF wages
which was predicted In the SUNDAY
Sun has been deferred 10 3 later dats
regards the West Lynn plant Yhe
most sensational Developments al site
General Electric works during the
week was the reported smashing of
windows last Thursday In Building
40 when workers we're informed OF
pay slash In that building.
ALSO during the week workers
groups held meetings In downtown
hall to discuss organization Into labor
unions and possibly striking.
THE spirit Of unrest that has been
breeding and milling for long time
is rampant throughout both plants
While most Of this feeling Is under
cover, occasionally there is an out
break of open threats and the strike
talk persists in spdreading."

Liberator Anniversary
C ono e r t, New Star
Casino, NJ arc h 18th

The Liberator is the most important
weapon Of the League of Struggle for
Negro Rights. Its weekly paper is at
the same time agitator, propagandist
and organizer in the struggles Of Me-
groes and white workers. This I'M
portance is given to it by the i'm
portance of the struggles.
The struggle for Negro rights is i'm
portant not only to the 100000
Negroes. The oppression of the Ne
gro masses is at the same time the
measure of the oppression OF the
white masses. Labor in the white
skin cannot be free so long as labor
in the black skin is in chains" MARK
The working class as whole must
take up the fight against the national
oppression of the Negro, for equality
and the right of self determination,
as a special part of its own struggle
for liberation.
The next issue of the Liberator will
appear on March 9th. This issue will
be special anniversary number con-
sisting of 10 pages and it is the duty
of every mass organization, workers
club, Party units, every subscriber,
sympathizer, to Immediately send In
greetings to the Liberator for this
anniversary issue. These greetings
will insure this issue of the Liberatol
as well as future issues.
In addition to the above, the Lib
orator is holding an extraordinary
concert and entertainment at New
Star Casino, 107th and Park Avenue,
Sunday, March 18th. The following
organizations will participate in the
program: Freiheit Singing Chorus,

and, although the threat Of an armed
attack by the gun thugs hung over
the conference, the day ended with
out blood beng shed
Aside from the terrer and the
seyenty-1nile distance that some OF
the delegates had 10 traverse there
was the difficulty Of getting q meet
ing place that had to be overcome.
The chief OF police OF Jellicoe, an
examiner, who was appointed a few
weeks ago in a demagogic attempt
to convince the local miners that
they are represented in the town
ships government, is a member Of
the National Miners Union and Is

He had promised the executive board
Of the sVIike that the city hall would
always be available for meetings OF
the National Miners Union. When
he was put to the test by the strike
executive and told that the confer
ence would be held in Jellicie he
weakened enough to ask the advice
of the town board, which, of course,
ordered that he break up the con-
ference. Caught between the fear
of the local operators and the anger
of the miners, with whom he had
worked for years, the Chief OF po-
lice, after being satisfied by a local
lawyer that the N.M.U. is a legal Or
ganisation, decided not to interfere,
although he did break his promise
to allow the delegates TO meet in
his garage. 1t was this split In the
armed forces of the operators, as
well as the certainty OF bitter re-
sistancc to attack on the part Of the
miners, that held the gun thugs off,
although struggle had been fore

Briefly. the policy follows: Rec

that several thousand miners are
still striking, a really effective strike
exists in but ~ to Is mines, the
main task in the immediate ruOu1e

that with the weakening OF the coal
operators that settlements bringing
definite Improvements in conditions
for the miners can be made, such as
the recognition of the mine commit
tee, no discrimination, checkweigh-
men, payment for dead work, etc.
In certain mines an increase in
wages can also be obtained, the STRIFE
executive believes.
The strike is thus brought to
sectional basis, and individual mines
will be struck for improved condi-
tons in that particular mine. 1t

MARRIAGE ON THE PHYSICAL
PLANE
by R. A. Adams
(The Literary Service Bureau)

The many marital wrecks are due
to the fact that most marriages are
purely on a physical plane. Physic-
al beauty Of form and face. physical
grace of carriage, a caressing voice,
a bewitching smile, all are attractive
physical elements. However. chiefest
and most dangerous Of the physical
elements are those which make sex
appeal, awaken sex desire, and incite
to sex union.
But the physical is not permanent.
Illness, accidents, deep sorrow and old
age will mar the most beautiful face
and change the most symmetrical
form. Constant association will tend
to make physical beauty less prom
inent and less appealing. The phys
zeal in sex will be stated and perhaps
glutted, making commonplace what
once seemed irresistably attractive; or
perhaps it will end in responsiveness.
In fact; the physical alone is a tie
that will not bind.
When have come the fading of fac
ial beauty, emaciation Of physical
form, and safety or exhaustion Of
sex element, unless there are between
a man and a woman stronger ties

Like Isaac, his own father. Jacob
had a favorite child, and he was fool
ishly open in his preferential ex-
pressions. This son was not diplo-
matte, or whatever they might have
called it then, and was understood to
be boasting Of his superiority over
his brethren.
Jacob mourned Joseph as dead, and
he gave vent to his feelings in these
pathetic words, Joseph is not, and
We will take Benjamin away: all these
things are against me-" And this
injustice was productive of enmity,
jealousy and hatred toward him. And
as long as human nature remains the
same, such causes will produce like
effects.
We may never understand this mat
ter of a fathers favoritism in loving

nothing is more m~anifestly true But
no father is justifiable in assuming
such an attitude as did Jacob toward
