Answers Attack
On Anti-War Meet
Roman ROLAND Scores
the Splitters

NEW YORK. ROLAND,
famous French writer, has delivered
a smashing answer to the attack on
the World Congress by the Swiss So
cialist, GRADER, deputy of the Swiss
Chamber and editor of the socialist
"Sentinelle. Trying to cover up his
support of imperialist war, GRADER
alleged that the Congress was a
Communist affair" He accused the
Communists and "all those who sup
port their miserable undertaking" OF
committing "a crime against the
working Glass;
In his answer which is published
in "L'Humanite," Roman ROLAND re-
jectS Indignantly Graders attempt to
diccredit the international congress
against war and hands back the lat
ter's accusation. He declares that
tllos who attempt to split the working
class in the face Of the common dan
ger, imperialist war, are those who
commit a crime against the working
class.
Roman ROLAND declares that he is
well aware that not GRADER, but the
Secretariat of the Second Labor and
Socialist International is the source
Of the attack after he, Roman Rol-
land, had been present at the nego-
.-ations between Henri Barbusse and
Friedrich Adler. Roman ROLAND
declares that he is absolutely in
agreement with Barbusse and that
the international congress against
imperialist war is not a congress of
any one party, but is and will remain
an attempt to unite all those willing
10 fight against the danger of war,
whilst not prejudicing the organiza-
onal independence of the tactics Of
any group.
Roman ROLAND points out that
the congress will certainly not per-
nit itself to be dominated by any
che group, whether that group is the
Socialist International (Romain Rol-
land adds that at first it was OBJ
viously the intention of the Second
international to make an attempt to
capture the congress and dominate
its proceedingS) or the Communist
international.
In conclusion, Roman ROLAND de-
clares that later on he will describe
the history of the organization Of
the congress, the tremendous wave
OF enthusiasm which the idea of the
congress produced amongst the
masses and the reaction of the So
olalist leaders to it after they feared
that they would be outrun by their
own followers and drawn willy-n.Ily
into the international action against
war.

FURRIERS BACK
AFTER VICTORY
5000 Win Better
Conditions

NEW YORK.-Over 5000 striking
turriers returned to work yesterday
following a mass victory march
through the market yesterday morn
ing.
Nearly 5000 fur workers partici-
pated in the great march, led by the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union, which began at the strike
headquarters at oath st. and Seventh
Ave. Thousands of workers cheered
from the streets and the shop win
dows.
Police seeing the vast support given
the furrierS arranged to have the
permit for the march Cancelled after
the parade had started and blocked
the street at 9th and Seventh Ave.
The workers thereupon counter
marched to the strike hall and fol-
lowing an enthusiastic meeting re-
turned to the. shops where the new
settlement went into effect today.
A check-up late yesterday showed
that 800 shops settled with the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union
during the course of the strike. A
number Of shops of the Fur Manu-
facturers Association are still out,
the workers continuing militant
fight determined to force these shops
to settle with improved conditions.

ORGANIZE UNION
AT HIGH POINT
Independent Group;
Bradley AS Leader

HIGH POINT, N. c.. Aug. pa
local independent union called the
Industrial Workers Association of
High Point" has been organized, fol-
lowing the strike of 5000 hosiery
workers here last month. The union
was not formed by mass meetings,
but at a conference of men from
various departments of the mills.
D, V. Bradley was made president
and placed on salary, and the other
salaried full time official is j. j..
Thomson, secretary Other
officers are: Leroy Summey of the
Triangle Mill, first president;
w. S. Stokes of Highland cotton mill,
second president; and j. O..
House, of Harris Covington MILL
third vice president.
Bradley claims 5000 members
Bradley was the elected chairman of
the strike committee last month. He
allowed himself to be used as a
strike breaking force by shrewd
agents of the employers. One of his
mistakes was refusal to consider the
demands Of the jobless, and his split
ting of the very large number of I'M
employed textile workers away from
the struggle of the mill workers.

Meet Friday Night
to Force Thru
Righet to Streets

NEW YORK.-Notice was served
on Police Commissioner Mulrooney
yesterday that an election campaign
meeting will be held Friday night at
8 o'clock, on the 135th st. and Sew
enth Ave. corner, where his police
broke up meeting last Friday night.
The letter to Mulrooney denounces
the vicious discrimination which per-
mits every sort of meeting on Sew
enth Ave. except Communist election
meetings, and affords special protec-
ton to Socialist Party meetings,
through Socialist Tammany agree
ment, and demands the right for
Communist candidates to speak on
every street in the city.
The letter was sent to Mulrooney
today by Henry Shepard, Communist
candidate for Lieutenant-go governor of
New York, and George e. Powers,
candidate for Chief Judge of the
Court of Appeals. These two candi-
dates we're the two main speakers at
last Fridays meeting, which was
broken by police clubs as soon as it
began.

PAINTERS MEET
SUMS UP GAINS
Base Laid for Strong
Fighting Union

| NEW YORK.-Forty- five delegates,
representing five local unions of the
Alteration Painters, met Sunday and
laid the base for a strong militant
fighting union.
The report of the general organizer,
Harris, showed that the union is i'm
proving conditions on the job.
1.-THE rank and file of the Brother
hood are beginning to see through
| the kind of a strike conducted by
the District Council and are learning
the real meaning of our union, name
Ily, to conduct real strikes in behalf
of the painters" said Harris.
Almost all delegates without excep-
ton participated in the discussion in
a very constructive manner. A high
point in the discussion took place
when one of the delegates in the dis
cussion proposed the aff1liation of the
Alteration Painters Union to the
Trade Union Unity Council, stating
that the union, because of its growth
and because Of the struggles that it
is carrying on, must sooner or later
become a part of trade union center
that has led many struggles in behalf
of the workers, that centre being the
Trade Union Unity League.
Joseph lack stated that the T. U.
U. G. will cooperate in every possible
way to build up the Alteration Paint
ers Union, and he proposed that the
question of aff1liation should be taken
up again at a future date when the
union will have conducted greater
and better organized struggles, and
will establish itself as the union of
the painters. Nevertheless the T.
U. U. c., true to its class struggle
policy, will cooperate with the Alter
alton Painters Union and help them
along generally" said lack.

tero, q leader among the tobacco
workers, was seized by detectives last
Thursday as he was working on his
Job at the Montero cigar factory

ASKS NEWLAW TO
CUT PAY IN CITY
Budget Director Eager
to Slash Employees

NEW YORK. - Budget Director
Charles H. Kohler in a statement
Sunday called for abolition of the
civil service provisions, written into
the law, which hinders Tammany
from cutting the wages of city en-
ployees. Kohler lamented that the
firemen, teachers and other workers
had refused to cut their wages a
months pay next year as Walker
ordered them to do, voluntarily"
And in many cases the pay of these
workers is fixed by law, and the law
has to be changed before the Tam
many administration can arbitrarily
slash 1t. Kohler says: Legislation
must now be obtained to remove the
ooercive restrictions now imposed
upon the city authorities in managing
the city's business" He does not
mention cutting the Mayors $4,000
year salary.

Nothing would please me more
than to grab half dozen Of our
leading bourgeois movie critics by
their ears and lead them into the
Acme Theatre this coming week. For
years they have been prattling about
the gloomy" and depressing" Sow
let cinema. Next to the damning
accusation of propaganda they have
never been able to think of anything
as squelching and unforgivable as the
alleged lack of comedy relief" You
know: no cynical references to the
mother-in- law, no gags, no sideSplit-
ting bedroom situations, and so on
Some of these gentlemen did concede
some humour to films like 1.-THE
Girl With Thu Band Box" and
Three Comrades And One Inven-
ton" but revolutionary social satire
is not their meat. Give them leg
naniacs like Harpo, hopeless imbe-
Giles like Laurel and Hardy, a dim
witted Charlie Chase or a good old
souse like Marie Dressler and lay
off this politics! 1t just doesn't con-
Germ the millions of workers and
farmers who frequent Americas
n1oviehouses every day.
1 can't wait to read what these
"cash-and carry" scribblers will have
70 say about Clown George" the
Soviet film which will have it's first
American showing beginning this
Sunday at the Union Square Acme
Theatre. Not that their opinions can
possibly have any value in them
selves. But it is safe to venture the
assertion that many more workers
can afford to read reviews than can
see the films themselves nowadays.
And these reviewers will not hesitate
to write anything in step with the
intentions of American imperialism.

after few minutes.
