SHOE STRIKERS
ANSWER MILLER
Cheer Old Leader and
Hundreds Sign Reply
to Injunction Plea

NEW YORK.-Five hundred l. Mil
Ter shoe strikers damned the strike
meeting yesterday and cheered for
five minutes when Fred Biedenkapp,
leader of the 1929-193o shoe strike
came in. Biedenkapp made STIR
ring address, analysing the reasons
for the I. Miller injunction and Com
missioner Woods re-entry into the
affairs Of shoe strikers here.
Neither the Injunction nor Wood
will make shoes" said Biedenkapp.
I'm fact, when the Bender company
in the 1929 strike filled its factory
with scabs, it cost the company three
quarters of a million dollars and the
outfit went bankrupt. Miller will
profit by this experience; he wants
the injunction, hoping to terrorize
and divide the strikers by it,"
Sign>Affidavit
After Biedenkapp spoke, Attorney
Taub, representing the union, read
the affidavit prepared by the strikers
committee. 1t tells of the wage cuts
and bad conditions that started the
strike, tells of the Shoe and Leather
Workers Industrial Union strike lead
ership. and answers the lies of the
I. Miller AFFIDAVIT that his workers
are satisfied and only few have
quit"
The strike meeting voted unanim-
ously to adopt this affidavit, and
hundreds crowded around to sign it
in the presence of notary public
Similar scenes took place at the
Andrew Geller strikers meeting.

only 100000 would be available.
This meant that those home relief
stations that have been closed since
April 6 would probably remain closed
indefinitely. The three-day-a week
forced labor" in parks and public
buildings has also been cut down
considerably.
Promises that thousands of work
ers would get jobs with the opening
OF the Eighth Avenue subway has
also turned out to be a pipe dream
to thousands of starving workers.
Twenty-Five thousand jobs were
promised, and when applications be-
gan to be received yesterday it was
found that only 400 jobs were avail
able with only 200 unskilled workers
required.
Many Of the highly skilled work
ers who formerly earned s5o-S5o week
will now be asked to work for 81 a
day.

NATL TEXTILE
UNION TO HOLD
ITS CONVENTION
To ! Build >Close-Knit
Organization, Based
Directly on Mills

PROVIDENCE, r L, June Is
The Third National Convention OF
the National Textile Workers Union
will be held on July 2, 8, and in
Boston. 1t is the first national con-
vention of the union in two and a
half years.
Knit NTWU Into Strong Union
The United Textile Workers Union
(AFLO has been willing to organize
the textile workers only where there
existed a good chance for a sellout.
To check the vicious introduction of
speed-up. ware cuts, (such as the re-
cent waqe cuts in Lawrence as high
as Is per cent?, to successfully lead
tie textile workers in struggle against
unemployment and starvation, 1t is
necessary to knit the National Textile
Workers Union into strong, closely
bound organization nationally.
The National Convention of the
NT.W.U. will bring together the best
forces in the union; it will check up
on the weaknesses and mistakes and
will plan how to use the united
strength of the union against the
textile bosses attacks. The very
weakness of the union makes it all the
more necessary to hold the conven-
ton at this time, to consolidate the
union, to exchange and study the eX-
periences of strikes and other strug-
giles.
Delegates from Mills.
The delegates are being elected on
mill basis. Delegates will be elected
by members and from among mem
bers of a given mill. The represen=
tation will be: one delegate from
every local or group of members and
one additional delegate for each %
members or major fraction thereof
Opposition groups under NTWU
leadership will be represented on the
same basis. Textile workers, not
members of the union, may elect del
egates on the above basis who will
be seated as observers, with voice but
without vote.
Fraternal delegates will be sent to
the convention by other revolution
airy unions and leagues.

PUSH U.S.-BRITISH
ANTAGON M S
Mcdonald to Propose
Debts Cancellation
At Lausanne

LAUSANNE, June 16-Tn an eff
fort to set up an European bloc
against the United States, Prime
Minister Macdonald will propose a
complete cancellation of the German
reparations and of the war obliga-
tons to the British government at
theopening of the lausanne Confer
ence, it was confirmed here in Off
cjal and seni-official circles.
The proposal would try to lay the
basis for canceling the war obiga-
tions to the United States, which,
however, the American government is
not willing to forfeit.
Holds Out for Moratorium.
Herriot, the French Premier, ia
vors lin principle" the move of Prime
Minister Macdonald, but still holds
out for moratorium on reparations
for the time being. 1t is said here
that Herriot could not take diff
ferent attitude without arousing the
! OPpOoAG4Ol1 VI TICllSll puOI4C Oplll-
ion" that is, the French bosses.
The fact that Herriots attitude ap-
proximates that of Secretary Slim
son underlines the contradiction ex-
listing within the Franco British
entente which Macdonald sought
to strengthen in his weekend parley
with Premier Herriot.
Won Papen, it is said, will declare
at the opening of the Conference that
reparations cannot be paid. His at
titude will be flexible, however on
the question of cancellation. 1t is
taken for granted that he will ac-
cept a moratorium, unless Herriot, in
exchange for some tangible conces-
sion strengthening the anti-Soviet
coalition and enhancing Frances
leading part in the coalition, will
come near the position of MacDon-
aid, clearly against the United States

MAKE ARRESTS
IN CHILEAN ARMY
In Fear of Communist
Agitation

Several army officers we're arrested
yesterday by the fascist nlilitarist
dictatorship in Chile. A Santiago
dispatch to the New York American
reports that the arrests we're niads
TO stem the growing unrest caused
by Communist agitation. The Of
ficers arrested are evidently petty
officers who share the revolutionary
sentiments of large sections of the
rank and file of the Chilean army.
The dispatch also reports a gather
ing movement" on the part of some
sections of the Chilean ruling class,
for the recall of former President
Montero.
Washington officials yesterday as
sured American capitalists that they
had very little to fear from the fas-,
cist-nilitarist dictatorship. The dc
tatorship is still nasquerading as al
Socialist government however.

the decision of the new government,
whose spokesman so far seems to be
Col. Marmaduke Grove, Defense Min

demands for three meals a day for
