tor Needle Trades Strike

NEW YORK.--Ben Gold, general
secretary of the Needle Trades Work
ers' Industrial Union and leader in
many needle trades strikes, will be
the chief prosecutor when Joe Birns,
white worker and member of the
union, goes on trial tomorrow (Sun-
day. afternoon at 3 o'clock at the
New Harlem Casino, 100 West 116th
st. Birns is charged with crime
against the working class-the crime
of holding and trying to spread ideas
contrary to the interests of the Ne
gro workers in the industry.
The defense of Birns will be con-
Quoted by Charles Alexander, active
Negro worker and working class
leader. The license, however, will
not be conducted alon~ the lines OF
the defense in a capitalist court
Rather, Comrade Alexander will en-
deavor to show the source of the
ideas that have poisoned the mind
Of Birns and other workers-the
ideas of white superiority" care
fully spread by boss class anxious
to keep the workers divided.
A jury of IL workers is to be elected
from the floor of the meeting.
The trial of Birns will mean trial

of all ideas Of white superiority and
Of failure to fight for the rights OF
Negro workers. 1t is thus an impor-
tant part of the preparations for the
coming dress strike in New York. In
this strike, the workers will be UP
against many kinds of opposition.
Bosses and gangsters, police and
thugs, the takers, Schlesinger and
Lovestone-all these are united In
the effort to break the strike by any
means.
But hand in hand with all these
opponents, the workers in the needle
trades will be forced to fight against
another enemy-the subtle poison OF
race prejudice, which tries to keep
Negro ard white workers apart.
Which attempts to stop white work
ers from taking up the battle for the
rights Of Negro workers in the in
dustry. ES
Jproyed conditions for the Negro
workers in the industry will be an
important demand in the needle
trades struggle. The trial OF Birns
tomorrow afternoon, as an important
blow at division among the workers
on race lines is part and parcel Of the
preparations for the coming striln.

parations of the imperialist powers
of the world to crush the Chinese

The Japanese and other imperial

for the youth to act now. The con-
ference is planning mass youth
demonstration and parade for Satur-

All clubs that are affiliated to the
Conference should see to it that their

A. Weiss Expelled
from the Party

NEW YORK. "A. Weiss. an ole
time member Of the Communist Par
ty, has been expelled from the Par
ty for refusal to leave his Job and
go to work for the Union in the
coming dressmakers' strike. In thu
expulsion of Weiss from the Party
the District is taking the step that
Is necessary in order to make all
members of the Party realize that
when the Union goes into strike
every Party member is obligated to
fulfil his function.
The Comrades Of the Union had
requested that Comrade A. Weiss &c
into the work in the period before
the strike. Comrade Weiss was talk
ed to several times both by the Dis
trict and by the National Office, but
could not be prevailed upon to &C.
cept the post.
This is an actual defiance of the
District that the Party cannot toll
crate. If the Party is to assume
leadership In the strike struggles,
then it must know that every mem
Der of the Party is willing to carry
put tn eduties that the District sees
he is fit for and decides that he
must accept. Comrade Weiss was
given ample opportunity in order to
make up his mind, but upon definite
,efusal, is, therefore, now declared
expelled from the Party.
In the expulsion of Weiss from the
,arty, the District is taking the first
Measure that will insure that the
leadership of the strike, namely the
communists, will fulfil their duties.
The Party must begin to recognize
hat strike struggles are the main
ield in which the Party shows its
sadership--not only in the struggle
self, but in the preparation, in the
onduct of the strike and in the con-
olidation of the forces after the
