rights?"

Judge Martin, referring to the Com
munt5t Party and to Minor, stated:
These people are not satisfied with
our government. They are the out

Minor jumped UP from his seat,
and amid constant Interruptions,
pointed out that not only was he a
citizen, but that he was born in the
United States, and that his fore
fathers were among the founders OF
the country.
The judge finally decided. after
Minor had made shreds Of the politi-

the court, to grant jury trial. Minor
asked for an cary trial, but was told
it would be set with just ordinary

Martin asked that all people who

JNTERDlYER READS DAILY NAH EXPOSE AT HEARING
Silk Mills
Sent Back,
ArePicketed

PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 25.-Mem-
bers of the Associated Silk Union
(U.T.W0 threw picket lines at noon
today around the plants where 5000
Jacquard workers were sent back to
work this morning by the leaders OF
their union (U.T.W.)
So enraSed were the rank and file
silk strikers that they forced their
leaders, who had engineered the re-
turn to work of the jacquard weavcrs,
including John Elias, to march with
them on the picket line. Thus the
U.T.W. leaders who had signed and
put through a sell-out agreement
which reduces the wages of lower
paid jacquard workers, especially the
women, were forced by their own
members to march on the picket line
in protest against an agreement these
leaders themselves had put over.
In the dye situation practically all
of the strikers were back at work to-
day, the National Textile Workers
Union, in the interests OF unity,
sending all Of its members back to
fight inside the shops to maintain
concessions which the militant roll
icy of the rank and file, led by the
N.T.W.U., have won in the strike. In
the large mills such as Lodi plant
of the United Piece Dye, Weidemann's
OF the same company, Bluebird and
others, the N.T.W.U. is the dn--'7ot-
ing union inside the mill. The larg-
est shops have no written agreement
with the U.T.W., 1t was d sc,osed to-
day, the companies merely posting
notices Of the company requesting"
the workers to join the ALL. union
which on successive days has sent the
dye and Jacquard workers back to
work.
The movement for one united rank
and file union among the dyers is
progressing. The NT.W.U. is hold
ing shop meetings this week to fur
ther this move for unity.
The strength of the left wing
among the U.T.W. members in the
broad silk branch of the strike is
seen in the fact that a large group
OF rank and file U.T.W. members have
arranged a meeting tome D., Thurs
day night, in Turn Hall (A.F.L. dyers
headquarters) where John j. BALKAN
has been invited to be the PRINCIPAL
speaker. The silk strike Of 10000
workers continued, but the U.T.W.
leaders are carrying on secret nego-
tiations and plan to sell out the strike.
The United National Strike Com
mittee meets in Paterson tomorrow.
The strike meetings of the U.T.W.,
where formerly every striker was in
vited to attend, are now guarded
by police, who keep out all strikers
except those who hold ALL cards.

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. - With
a blast, the Roosevelt government
began today to move on to its
program of currency war against

the domestic price of gold at $31.36
an ounce, This is an advance of
about $500 from the previous price,
and an advance of over $40 an
ounce over the price at the begin
ming of the Roosevelt regime. It
means a fortune for spectators.
The Roosevelt price is % cents

from 81 to 81 per cent of the 1928

There have been further advances

Farm Fight Against
NRA. to Converge at
Chicago Conference
City Workers Pledge
Aid; Farm Head Calls
for Cancellation

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Offers OF
solidarity and co-operation were sent
to the thousands of striking farmers
throughout the West by Alfred Tiala,
head of the United Farmers League,
and the Workers International Re-
lief, an organization of city workers
and small farmers, intellectuals, pro-
fessIonols. etc.
Lem Harris, head Of the Farmers
National Committee Of Action, which
is organizing the coming National
Farm Conference to be held at Chi
cage, made public the following let
ter received from the Chicago section
Of the WIR., which reads in part
as follows:
"Your program of milk strikes
and struggles to raise the selling
prices of farm products for the
farmers, and to lower the cost Of
farm products for the consuming
workers in the cities, fits in with
our own struggles here In the city.
Therefore, we must come to q COM
mon understanding that our power
lies in unity and solidarity. We
stand ready to do all in our power
to support the Farmers National
Conference.
The farmers, now under the leader
ship Of Milo Reno, or the Farmers
Holiday Association, received the fol-
lowing pledge Of solidarity from AL
fred Tialo Of the U.F.L., which, In
part, reads as follows:
"Sure we want higher prices for
our products. But Is this to come
from the meagre earnings Of the
city workers, or out Of the swollen
profits of the profIteers? II the
price boost comes out Of the lessen
ing buying power Of the city work
ers, then they will be able to buy
even less than now the mar
ket will be further reduced.
Farmers must elect their own strike
committees. The strike committees
must be responsible to no one but
the rank and file who elected them.
-. A united front of all farm or
carnations must be formed at Chi
cago on Nov. 1918. Let MS demand
cancellation Of mortgages and
debts for all small and middle
farmers"
The latest news from the West In
dicates that the farmers are defying
the no-picket orders of their Farm
Holiday leaders, and are dumping
scab shipments Of milk and other
products. In Wisconsin 10000. pounds
OF scab milk were dumped yesterday.
