But JIl6 SOCldIlSG leaders are
opposed to real unity in the fight
for unemployment relief and in
surance as is shown by the follow
ing excerpt from letter sent to
all Socialist Party branches by Her
bert Merrill, state secretary Of the
Socialist Party:
This Is to remind you that the
Socialist Party has nothing to do
with any Of the united front
movements promoted by the
Communists, EITHER FOR FUR
THERANCE OF UNEMPLOY-
MENT INSURANCE, THE
ADOPTION OF THE 3O-HOUR
WEEK, OR ANYTHING ELSE"
The Provisional Committee repre-
senting over 100000 workers, re-
jects this effort to continue dis
unity among the masses. Our Com
nittee again proposes unity. We
again propose one conference Of
all workers.
SOCIALIST WORKERS
FOR UNITY.
We believe that the socialist
workers and the workers of the A.
F. of L. want unity. We believe the
unemployed workers want unity.
We know that only a united
fighting front of all workers will
enable us to beat back the attacks
of the bosses and win the demands
of the workers.
The urgent need for unity i'll the
struggle for our immediate needs
causes us to again strongly urge
our proposals. We urge all work
ers to brush aside the splitting pro-
pcSals of those leaders who by pre-
venting solid fighting front of the
masses, can only pave the way for
further inroads on our living
standards.
We urge unity Of the masses in
spite Of the efforts of these lead
ers to keep the workers divided.
Support the Workers Conference
on Labor Legislation! Send dele
gates to the Albany Conference on
March 5, 6 and Z.
Send resolutions 10 the Socialist
Party leaders protesting against
their splitting activities. Demand
one conference Of all workers re-
gardless Of their political or re-
ligious views, to weld together the
masses in one powerful movement
capable Of winning adequate relief
and unemployment insurance, the
shorter Tork-Week without reduc-
ton in pay and the other workers
demands
Should your branch or union
vote to send delegates to this con-
ference called by the Socialist
Party, introduce resolution in
your branch or local union insisting
that your delegates fight there
against the policies of the socialist
leaders for one conference, for the
Albany workers Conference on
Labor Legislation!
Even yet the unity of the work
ers can be established if the mas
ses Of the workers-Socialist, Com
munist and trade. union workers
will raise their voices strongly
against two conferences, and in
sist on one conference Of all work
ers to map out labor's legislative
program
United effort in broad and per-
sistent struggles will enable us to
win immediate relief, unemploy-
ment insurance, and other de-
mands.
Socialist workers, trade union
lists, workers in the unemployed
and other organizations-throw
aside the barriers to unity set up
by your leaders!
Into the united struggle for the
victory of the workers!
Forward with the fight for the
workers demands!

mittee of the

By FELIX KOHN

The experience acquired in ST.
IBERIA served in good stead in Or
ganizing in 1906 the scape of ten
prisoners who had been condemn ed
to death. 1t was the time when the
rapid firing" courts-so-called be-
cause of the summary fashion in
which they handed down death
sentences-were working full blast,
to which the Polish Social-Nation-
alistS retaliated by individual ter
rorist acts. The individualistic ter
ror had to be opposed by increased
mass action; the crying need of
prove that only by mass action and
we'll disciplined party organization
is it possible to realize our aims
without placing any hopes on the
heroism of individuals, who try to
act in place of the masses, instead
Of through the medium of the
masses.
0UPPORTED by the Party masses,
" We succeeded in accomplishing
what we set out to do. The tailors'
organization made the uniforms,
the tinsmiths' organization cut the
metal badges for the caps, the
military organization trained and
drilled those VINO were to imper-
senate the police officers, our rail-
wsymen arranged for the passage
of the escaped prisoners, the dis
trict organizations prepared secret
lodgings, etc. The kidnapping
was the feat OF the united forces
of the entire organization. 1t was
q minor episode in itself, but it's
Importance lies in the fact, that
it was accomplished not by soil
tary heroic fighters" but by our
entire organization, a strong, COM
plete chain, every link in which
performed the task allotted to it
on time and in strict accordance
with its instructions.
AS SOON as the elections for the
n First Duma were announced, the
Polish bourgeoisie rejoiced at the
opportunity Of being able to fight
independently for its class interests.
Its patriotism" vanished into

more than glad if the public
would arouse itself enough to OBJ

Change Opinion
"SecretarieS of Community
Center work decided several
years ago that a nominal fee
was necessary to make the pub
lie take a proprietary interest
in Community Center activities.
1t was thought then that such
a fee would open the way for
better attendance at the facili-
ties we offered. In the past
two years, however, there has
been a reversal of opinion.
"We find that during this de-
preston people are loath to
part with 10 cents, and it is
getting harder and harder for
them to get the money for
their children to use for swim
ming.
81 would be very happy, in
deed, if my department would
receive a big enough apprOpria-
tiOn to open these pools free of
charge, but at the present that
is impossible"

PAY STRIKE

BALTIMORE, Md, July 10.-A
24-hour "walkout" will be staged
here tomorrow by the 5000 men,
bers of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America. The follow
ing day most of the workers will
be back to their jobs on a "new
deal" basis of equalized wage
scales.
The union has insisted that
employers set an equalized wage
scale for workers before any ma
tional code is adopted. The ma
jority of employers here have
made tentative agreements with
the union, representatives of the
workers said. The wage agreed
upon was not revealed.
However, it was said that those
employed in plants where pro-
prietors had agreed upon the
equalized scale would return to
work Wednesday. Where the pro-
prietors have failed to agree, the
''walkout" of day will mark the
beginning of a strike until union
terms are accepted.

LAUREL ROAD

A delegation from Anne Arun.
del and Prince Georges counties,
led by Mayor J. H. Fetty, Of
Laurel, is now seeking an ap-
pointment with Maryland State
roads commission members to
petition for the paving of the
Laurel-Fort Meade Road.
The road, about six miles long,
lies from the Prince Georges line

The road, which is of main
road Importance but never given

main connecting link to Annap-

whether or not they want to take
advantage of the $1,000, 900, 900

a drastic raise in taxes. Others

Thirty additional troopers were
