CALL AFL LOCALS TO JOBLESS INSURANCE MEET
BEAVER BROOK Mill STRIKERS REJECT
UTW; REFUSE TO WITHDRAW DEMANDS
Still Confused by Cry Against IRE ds But National Textile Union
ganzers Aid Strike Activities; T.U. UL. Sends Relief

COLLINSVILLE. Mass. Oct. 4. -
The attempt of the American Woolen
Co. to open its Beaver Brook Mill
here yesterday was flat failure. The
400 strikers stand solid, and are tying
up the order Of the U. S. government
for 10000 army blankets.
The strikers mass meeting yester-
day refused to let the United Textile
Workers Union officials or the head
of the chamber CT commerce speak
or even enter their hall The strik-
ers unanimously reject the strike
breaking U. T. w.
Yesterday a conference took place
between a committee of the strikers
and the company heads, at the call
of the town selectmen. The strikers
refused fatty to retreat from their
demands for abolishing the last 81
and hef per cent wage cuts. and
for withdrawal of the speed-up eff
ficiency experts.
The company is sending its general
manager to speak to the strikers to-
day.
Start RED Hunt"
BY raising cry of Communists
and Reds, the local s<ike leaders
have succeeded in getting Martin
Russak and other organizers Of the
National Textile Workers Union bar
red from speaking at strike meetings,
but the rank and file of the strikers
refuse to carry out orders of the
leaders that N.T.W.U, organizers be
run out of town.
Call for Solidarity.
The N. T. w. U. is continuing its
organization work among the strik-
ers, warning that this attack on the
Communists and on the militant Ma
tional Textile Workers Union is a
treacherous attempt of the leaders to
lead the strikers against their best
friends. The strikers see that tele-
grams with relief donations are be-
ginning to arrive from other Trade
Union Unity League unions in New
England.
The National Textile Workers Union
warns that the present policy of the
\ strike leaders is tending to isolate
and cripple the strike.
The N. T. w. calls for election OF
broader strike committee, and soil
darity with all militant workers.

unemployment insurance evidenced
by a flood Of communications from

the Communist International have
betrayed the struggles of the Negro
masses against imperialist oppression.
They merely prove their own be-

tempt to SANDER the Soviet Union
they are forced to indulge in the
shameless lie that the film project
has been abandoned, when in reality
the project is merely postponed be-
cause of technical difficulties, includ-
ing poor scenario.
Yet they are forced to admit the
worldwide activities of the Commu-

FOSTER SPEAKS ON
FARM PROBLEMS
Calls for United Fight
of Workers, Farmers

farmers themselves, the Communist
Party invites the farmers to bring
forward also the demand for the
complete ar1nulment of their debts
to the banks, annulment of mort
cages and taxes and to take up the
Nagrarian demands Of the Communist
Party election platform. The Com
Innurlist Party proposes to the farm
Sers organizations that they shall
join with the workers in the cities to
carry through joint hunger marches
to the county and state governments,
joining with the workers and unem-
ployed in the cities and directing the
movement against the local and state
governments which are the tools of
the banks, trusts and railroad COM
panies. The Communist Party calls
upon the workers and farmers everv-
where to establish a joint struggle
around such demands as those put
forward in my speech in the Chicago
Coliseum on September 18th as fol-
lows:
/. Not penny off wages, repeal
OF all sales tax laws, not penny
new taxes on articles of mass con-
sumption. Stop the capitalist at.
tack against the living standards of
the workers.
2. Not promises, but immediate
relief for the starving unemployed.
Not one unemployed worker or his
family without decent housing,
food and clothing. Fifty dollars
winter relief from the Federal
1treasury for each unemployed
Jworker plus ten dollars for each
4 dependent, in addition to local re-
lief. Stop the eviction of unem-
ployed workers from their homes.
8. Stop the billion dollar subsi-
dies to banks, corporations and rail-
roads. A Federal system of I'M
employed insurance at the expense
of the government and employers.
All relief and insurance to be f.
nanced by taxes on wealth and
capitalist income, not by initiation.
4. Immediate payment of the
Veterans Bonus.
5. Unconditional Federal cash re-
lief to the impoverished farmers
and relief from taxes and forced
collection Of rents and debts. Sup
port the farmers strike.
7. Against the new robber war.
Stop the manufacture and ship.
ment Sf munitions. All war funds
for thA unemployed. Defend the
Soviet Union, defend the Chinese
people.
Exploited and toiling farmers,
snread your organization and join up
y III the struggle Of the workers and
j employed in the cities against our
Curmon enemies--the banks, trusts
and Wall Street capitalists.
Workers, employed and unem-
ployed, support the farmers struggle
and send delegates to the farmers
organizations to work out joint ac-
tions for immediate relief for all the
starving masses.
Workers and farmers, support in
the elections the only Party that
fights for your immediate relief and
for a revolutionary way out of the
crisis--the Communist Party"

VETERANS HIT
JIM CROWISM
Bonus March to Raise
Negro Demands

NEW YORK, Sept. 4. - Carrying
out the decisions of the National Vet
Grams Rank and File Conference
which was held in Cleveland Sept
23-24-25. Post 2 of the Workers Elk
Servicemen's League will hold a spe-
cial organizational meeting Thurs
day night at 8 p. m. to discuss the
next steps in the preparations for the
bonus march to Washington which
is being organized by the National
Veterans Rank and File Committee.
1.-THE WESL will conduct an inten-
sive campaign among the thousands
of Negro and white war veterans in
Harlem" said Emanuel Levin, ma
tional chairman of the Workers ex-
Servicemen'S League.
Levin pointed out that over 10000
veterans are unemployed in New
York and that both the republican
and democratic state conventions
have gone on record against the pay
ment of the veterans bonus.
Hoover said that the Negroes have
not been forgotten, said Levin. This
is a lie. The Negro veterans are dis
eliminated against and jim crowed
in all parts of the United States. One
of the most important demands to be
raised in the march to Washington
will be against discrimination Of the
Negro veterans"
The Workers Ex-Servicemen's
League in New York and throughout
the country will raise demands for
the immediate release of Willie Pet
erson, tuberculor war veteran framed
up in Alabama, and for the freedom
of the nine innocent Scottsboro boys.
Hit Jim Crowism.
1t was pointed out by Levin today
that all manner of jim crowism
would be ruthlessly dealt with by the
rank and file committee which will
lead the bonus march to Washington
December 5.
Joseph Scheftel, a delegate to the
veterans conference in Cleveland
from New York, attempted to put
through jim crow policy and mobil-
ize the veterans against the special
demands for Negro veterans which
we raised" said Levin. The rank and
file, however, overwhelmed this lone
objector and vigorously denounced
him for his white chauvinistic tao
tics.
"In our march to Washington in
December we will raise to the very
forefront special demands for the
Negro veterans"

A slight improvement over Saturdays do
nations is seen to Mondays figure OF s24o.4s
Of which s6S31 came from mass organisa-
tions. This brings total contributions to

This figure, far below the proportional
quota, can be strengthened by a strong and
swift response to the $4,000 Half-Dollar
Campaign. A fifty-cent piece from every
employed worker will help put the "Daiiy"
on a steady financial basis. Unemployed
workers who have no funds, eonate your

CANTON. Ill. Oct. 4.-Militiamen,
steel-helmeted and equipped with
rifles, bayonets, machine guns and
tear gas are pouring into this city to
try and smash the militant picketing

just rushing into company officials
house to make his report, last night.
The scab, Robert Pollitt, was shot
through the body. Pritchard then
sent for the militia, and Governor
Emerson, always eager to do what
strike breaking he can, ordered Com

Militia are also stationed in Peoria
near by. to try and prevent picket
ing of the Hannah mine which will
try to reopen there today.
