Pact On Austria

ROME, Aug. 81. U,P}-Any agree
ment between Great Britain, France
sxld Italy regarding the preserva-
ton of the Austrian status against
German interference is non-eXist-
ent and unnecessary, the Italian for
eign office declared today.
Conversations between Chancel-
lor Dolfuss and Premier Mussolini
have demonstrated there is no
such agreement, the department
stated.
On the other hand. it was point
ed out, the three nations already
are committed to the present sta

PRIEST BREAKS
ATLANTA STRIKE
Orders Girls to Work
for Low Wages

NEW YORK. The militant and
significant strike of the 300 girls of
the Atlanta Knitting Mills against a
fifth wage-cut that reduced their
pay to as low as IS week was broken
at the inStigation of the local Cath
Ole Priest. The Jewish boss received
his assistance to impose slave condi-
lions on Catholic girls.
Utilizing the DOGGY threat of the
danger of Communism to hide the
true reasons for the strike, the boss
visited the priest Saturday. Accord
ing to the account given by striker,
herself wearing crucifix, the priest
called to the church the striking girls
and their mothers, blessed them and
told them to go back to work.
The boss promised to be good,
quoth the priest, neither will he in
suit you any more. The girls how
ever are doubtful because the bosses
profits are involved. The full extent
of the bosses goodness Is to take back
the cut of 81 to So, which will only
give them Sc week instead of IS.
Sometime ago the boss of Con-
tinental Mills played the same trick
on the girls there and later broke his
promise.
AT the Atlanta, a part of the girls
would have continued the strike, had
the Needles Trades Workers Indus
trial Union organizer insisted The
union considered, however, that in
view of the split made by the priest,
it would be better to have all go back,
and continue organization

5000 DEMAND
MOONEY RELEASE
Demonstrate in Bitter
Cold in Union So.


NEW YORK.--A memorable trib-
rte Of solidarity was paid to Tom
Mooney and all class var prisoners
by three thousand workers who de-
monStrated in their behalf last night
at Union Square despite the freezing
weather.
They went on record for the I'M
conditional release Of Tom Mooney
in particular and all class war pris-
oners in general. They shouted to
the very skies: "Free Tom MONEY!
Free Angelo Herndon! Free Sam
Weinstein! Free the Scottsboro boys"
The bold l-iacards told their feel
ings, too. Mooney is for US, we are
for MONEY! eve demand the re-
lease of the Scottsboro boysl" Free
Herndon!" 1--WE want bread, we get
bullets!"
A resolution demanding MONEYS
release was passed unanimously, the
workers laundering their approval.
That Mooney be given trial on the
remaining indictment against him,
and that he be allowed TO appear
on his own behalf when the motion
Of his new trial is argued-th's they
demanded. The threat of Warden
Holohan of San Quentin to keep
Mooney incornmuricado raised their
anger. The Free Tom Mooney Con-
oress, to be he'd in Chicago, was
heartily endorsed.
In opening the meeting, which was
called by the Interrat'o~ol Io'-"r
Defense, Martin Freedland, chair
man, called upon all workers OF all
views to join in the fight for the
release Of Mooney. eve must enlist
the workers throughout the United
States in the campaign for the free
dom Of Mooney" he declared.
Weinstein Speaks
The three thousand workers caught
the spirit of Tom Mooney when Sam
Weinstein, furniture worker and ex-
serviceman who is being framed up
On charges of assault and man
slaughter, addressed them.
Il feel proud that my case has
been compared somewhat to Tom
MONEYS - though l hardly deserve
such an honor. Mooney devoted all
his life to the cause of the workers.
Only since was framed up because
was militant In strike last year
have come to realize that my role
is with the working class, too. I was
foolish enough to fight in the i'm
perialist World War because I be-
lieved all the bunk and propaganda
was fed by the bosses. But I know
better today. All the medals l won
during the World War don't mean
anything to me today. But knowing
that you workers are fighting in my
behalf with the leadership of the In
ternational Labor Defense is the
greatest honor can think of"

alive of Tom Mooney. brought Moe
