NEW YORK. - Challenged by Roy
Hudson, chairman of the American
Workers Delegation to the Soviet
Union, TO defend his attacks and lies
on the workers fatherlsnd, Matthew
Vol, vice president of the American
Federation of Labor, refused although
he. had previously implied that he
would be willing to defend his posi-
ton. The challenge issued for the
Friends of the Soviet Union by Roy
Hudson was turned down by Vol
through fear Of being exposed before
| the workers in the A. F.. of l.. and
elsewhere.
Marcel Scherer, National Secretary
OF the Friends of the Soviet Union,
announced that Hudson had sent a
new challenge to Joseph P. Ryan,
president of the Central Trades and
Labor Council of New York This
challenge mailed to Ryan and made
/ public by the Friends of the Soviet
Union, reads as follows,
Joseph P. Ryan,
Chairman Central Labor Council
Mr.. Matthew Vol, vice president
of the A. T. L., who has been one Of
the main leaders in attacking the
Soviet Union was challenged on Jan.
9Th, to defend his statements before
the workers of New York. Although
Mr.. Vol had previously implied his
willingness to defend his position in
reply to the challenge he refused and
stated that his aims and services were
at his own disposition. Apparently
he feels disposed only to prevent the
American workers from hearing the
truth about the Soviet Union.
The officials of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor have constantly car
ried on systematic campaign against
the Soviet Union. While Mr.. Vol
has been the leader in this attack, his
stand has been endorsed and carried
out by the other officials. Therefore,

Gold Tee Knitting
Mills Came Down
Saturday

NEW YORK. 49, The campaign
against wage cuts, discharges and for
union conditions, undertaken by the
Knitgoods Dept. of the National Tex
tile Workers Industrial Union is de
veioping in full force.
Saturday, Jan 18th, all workers of
the Gold-Tee Knitting Mills, 239 w.
36th St.. came down on strike against
the discharge of a worker. This shop
includes many Jewish. italian and
other workers. Thursday night, the
firm discharged one of the workers
with the threat of further discharges.
The workers had meeting and de
cided TO demand the reinstatement
of the discharged worker. When the
firm refused to reinstate them, all
workers, like one man went down on
strike and are now on the picket
line determined to win their just de-
msnds
The workers Of the Diana Mills.
who carried through successful
struggle a few months ago, against
20 per cent wage cut, are today
once more on strike. The boss. after
making the settlement, attempted,
through all sorts of schemes to dis
organize the ranks of the workers
and put through the wage cut The
girls in the shop have learned the
lesson of solidarity and saw through
the game of the boss and stood solid
ly together insisting on the right to
earn living in the shop Last week,
when the firm threatened to carry
through wage cut. the workers once
more went down on strike. At the
meeting of the dams Mills, they de-
clared their determination to stick it
out until they once more defeat the
wage cut.
All active needle trades workers,
especially young workers, are called
upon to assist the Diana girls to
maintain the conditions they have
won through their successful strike.
Discuss Demands.
In line with the decision of the
Cooper Union meeting, the United
Front Committee of Dressmakers is
beginning broad discussion against
the dressmakers on the question of
the demands and preparation for the
coming mass shop conference on Jan
uary 30th in preparation for strike
under rank and file leadership.
A meeting of the active workers of
seth St., 40th st. and Broadway has
been arranged for Monday, right
after work, at So w. 37th st.
All active dressmakers, working in
these blocks are called upon to at
tend these meetings without fail.
Other needle trades workers en-
ployed on the same blocks are called
upon to report to the same office
where the united front committee
will take up with them the question
of how they can assist in mobilizing
the dressmakers for the coming
strike.
A call was issued by the united
front shop strike committees, to the
workers in the open shops in which
they state the gains won by the
workers as result of the shop
strikes, the need for struggle against
the low prices and sweat shop con-
ditions, and calls on the workers of
the open shops to join the ranks of
the workers who are striking and
winning better conditions.
The Executive Council of the In
dustrial Union will meet this Mon
day 8 p. m. at the office of the
union, 131 w. 18th st.

Show Up Socialists
Who Fool Workers

NEW YORK. - The Brownsville
Unemployed Council succeeded in ex-
posing the misleading Socialist "Ten-
ants League At first the mislead-
ers we're able to fool the workers Of
two 28-apartment houses at TAB and
1855 Saratoga Ave. into electing a
committee to collect five dollars from
each worker to fight the landlord in
court for a reduction in rent.
A few of the workers who knew Of
the work of the unemployed council
objected to this but we're unsucces-
full in exposing these misleaders.
These workers later notified the IN
employed Council who sent down a
comrade to speak to the workers in
these houses. This colnrade pointed
out to them that nothing could be
gotten from the courts, thus succeed
ing in getting the workers on our side
and electing two house committees
who drew up demands and will fight
for a fifteen per cent reduction in
rent
In another house consisting of all
Negroes at 1885 East New York Ave.
where the landlord tried to evict a
Negro worker without even a dis
possess. When the marshall came to
evict this Negro worker he beat up
the Marshall He later came down
to the Unemployed Council and told
us of his case The Unemployed
Council Immediately went to the
charities and got relief for him.
These workers are militant and are
ready to fight under the leadership
of the Unemployed Council.
At the houses on Williams Ave.
where three houses are already on
strike demanding one dollar per room
reduction in rent Another house
committee has been set up in 400
Williams Ave. which in a few days
will also declare a strike All these
houses that are on strike have signs
in the windows telling what they are
striking Tor open air meetings are
held there daily where workers from
these houses speak.
At meeting of the block commit
tee it was decided that they will hold
an open air meeting in front Of the
landlords office, on Stone and Pit
kin Ave. this Monday afternoon. This
landlord owns four houses on this
block out Of which two are on strike.
He is trying to terrorize the workers
by threatening them with evictions
and has already given one worker a
notice. This is not frightening the
workers; instead, they are deter
mined to carry on the fight until
they win under the leadership of the
Unemployed Council.

most effortless stride, beat Eastman
by two yards in time that was con.
sidered next to impossible. even on
this lightning track.
His mark of 462 wiped out every
thing in the books or on the cuff,
including the official world mark Of

unofficial time of 469, credited to
Carr himself in the final trials: the

While all these exciting events were
featuring the day and the U. s. was
boosting its overwhelming point total
to 100 for 10 events, with 10 indiN-
dual mems track and field titles won,
the American hopes in the decath-

Charles jumped and raced out in

BONUS ARMY CHIEFS
SEEK TO EVACUATE
PENNSYLVANIA CAMP.
Attempt to Charter Train so
Veterans Can Go Home
'On Cushions

Johnstown, Pa, August 6.-(R)-
Thwarted in earlier efforts to clear
Camp McCloskey of the last REM
nants of the tattered Bonus Expedi-
tionary force, leaders sought Satur-
day to charter train to complete
their task.
Eddie Atwell, representative of
Commander w. w. Waters, and Ma
yor Eddie McCloskey carried on sep
arate negotiations with the Pennsyl-
vania railroad while announcement
was made that funds from the B. E.
F. treasury here and at Washington
would be used to defray transporta-
ton.
Atwell said the railroad requested
information on the number of men
to be moved and that indications
were given that all would be taken
out Of Johnstown by noon.
A check showed about 400 Pennsyl-
vanians, 300 New Workers. SO each
from Massachusetts, and Connecticut
and a scattering from other states.
Most of them wandered about the
city Friday night and joined thou
sands who watched an American Le-
gion parade.
McCloskey battled vigorously with
railroad officials for a train Friday
night, but failed. Offers to take the
men in box cars were rejected.
These men were promised they
would ride on the cushions and we're
going to see that they do" he and
Atwell snapped.
The mayor threatened to march
the men onto railroad property.
The camp was quiet throughout the
night, these remaining being fed
from barrel of food sent in.
Automobiles and trucks carried
hundreds on their way Friday and
Friday night after McCloskey had
arranged gasoline supplies.

London, Aug. 6.-(P-The Econom-

the economic stress in the United
States was past.
1T would be rash to predict that
America is yet within sight of general
economic recovery" it said. in a re-

of his sickness.
In the spring and summer there
were grave symptoms, such as the
growth Of unemployment, the wide
spread failure of banks, the drain of
gold to Europe and the growth of
boarding and the distrustful public.
These were justifiably regarded
with serious apprehension. but the
period of panic seems to have passed.
The process OF boarding is being
checked, the banking position is SAL
vaged and the psychology of the peo-
pie steadier."
