Martial law has been openly de-
clared by Governor Talmadge all

there are disorders and the local
authorities cannot handle the sit

Talmadge admits that martial
law has been in effect since last
Friday but he kept it secret. Stimuli

camp is being erected with barbed
wire in Atlanta. A special flying
squadron of guardsmen in autos,
heavily armed and led by Adjutant
General Lindley Camp led attacks
on pickets at Newman, arresting $50
strikers. The arrested pickets are
now on the way to the internment
camp. Among the $50 are about
twenty women and fourteen Ne

Mill Strikers
Press Fight
In Paterson
Especial to the Daily wOrker)


PATERSON, N. j., Sept. 1.-THE
spirit of the silk strikers here was
more militant than ever as they en-
tered another week of struggle to-
day. Workers packed Roseland
Hall and cheered the announce
ment that Paterson mills, except for
few "cockroach' shops, were
closed down 100 per cent. Only the
continued delay in calling the dye
strike, the coming out Of the throw
sterS and the PaSSaic wooden work
ers hinder complete shutdown OF
all textile operation in Northern
New Jersey. Eli Keller, manager of
the American Federation of Silk
Workers, was forced to admit to-
day that the dyers have been wait
ing and waiting for the strike call
He tried to pass the buck" to
the National Strike Committee for
the delay. Workers know, how
ever, that officials have put off the
strike first by comforting" in Wash
ington and then by further con
ferences" and delays in Paterson.
Now that they are faced with a
sweeping injunction against the
dyers, officials are saying that the
dyers are angered and may strike
because of the injunction alone.
However they are still holding more
conferences and preventing the
dyers from coming out.
Keller, who stated today that Eve
are doing everything we can to
bring out the dyers" also announced
that dyers could not strike until
ordered to do so by Washington Of

Arms Sales USSR Joins

But 'Izvestia' warn
That ''Only Masses

special to the paiIy worker

MOSCOW, Sept II CBy wire
less Commenting on the inyi-
tation Of the Soviet Union to Join
the League of Nations, "Izvestia,"
official organ Of the USS.R., to-
day states that this is an event of
extraordinary Importance, A lead
ing article today declares:
Undoubtedly the invitation of
the Soviet Union to join the
League of Nations by a majority
Of its members, and also the con-
sent of the Soviet Government to
accept this invitation, represents
an event of tremendous political
significance.
THE League of Nations arose
as the victorious powers took upon
themselves the organizing Of a
world basis for their will. Its
pointed edge was directed not only
against the countries defeated in
the war, but also against the first
state where workers were material
izing the socialism which then
formed. It's attempt to force the
will of the victorious capitalist
powers upon the Russian working
class and pessantry was defeated
by the united efforts of the masses
of the former Czarist empire.
ProIetarian Victories
''The victors of the World War
failed to subdue the US.SR. to
their will. The Soviet government
surrounded by the general hos
tility of the capitalist world
brought out the country from the
ruin created by world war, and
intensified by intervention, and led
the country forward to the con-
struction of socialism.
Seventeen years of history after
the proletarian revolution have led
the U.S.S,R. to enormous econom-
ic, political and cultural growth
in the country of socialism. Upor
the basis of this growth, the u S
8. r. has created the Red Army
capable of defending it from any
attack.

LOWELL. Mass. Sept. i7.-Pickst
lines throughout New England kept
all textile mills closed TODAY and ex-
tended the strike to important
Maine mills. The lockwood Woolen
Plant at Waterville, Me. was closed
by mass picket lines and the Pen
perell Company Of Biddeford, Ne,
and the York Plant at Saco, Me,
the two employing 4,500 workers,
were closed as the workers left these
two mills. In the face Of the mass
picket lines, the threats of key mills
at Saylesville, Woonsocket, Fall
River and elsewhere to open under
National Guard protection, was not
carried out.
At the famous Pequot Mill in
Salem. where I watched picket
lines at the noon hour TO-DAY. the
$500 workers are greatly affected
Scores lined the windows and
watched the picket lines. There
were from ten to thirty pickets at
each gate. There are more than q
dozen different gates into this giant
mill Workers said that because the
loomfixers are out, workers in the
other crafts have nothing to do and
production is crippled. They eX-
pect mass picketing around this
mill, and expect it to strike some
time this week. Many police and
plainclothesmen guard the mill,

ing the use Of guard troops, and
elected a subcommittee to work out
solidarity actions. This committee
has decided to hold mass meet
ing in support of the textile strike.
Heavy concentrations of National
Guard troops and thousands Of
armed guards continue to guard the
mills in important centers. National
Guard troops have been strength
ened in Maine centers, in Bristol,
Warwick. Saylesville and Woon-
socket, R. /, and in several Con-
necticut towns.
Governor Ely, of Massachusetts,
in speech at Springfield Endorsed
/ the terror measures to break the
strike and gave thinly yelled
threat that the Massachusetts, Ma
tional Guard will soon be called out.
He said: IF a substantial majority
of employees bring to the govern
ment a request to be allowed to
work in safety, such request must
be recognized by the authority Of
this commonwealth"
Ely. like Governor Green, Of
| Rhode Island, has stepped forward
with the slogan of The Right o
Work" This is the slogan under
which the strikebreaking measures
are being taken. Green spoke to
the intellectuals' delegation Of
freedom and liberty and stated
he will protect the right "of the
textile workers to work, and of the
mill owners to operate"
The Chambers of Commerce
throughout New England and the
textile manufacturers associations
are getting out reams of propa-
ganda in the press along similar
lines. The troops and guards are
being praised for protecting the
right to work
In Lowell this morning mass
picket lines ranging up to 400 kept
all Lowen's mills closed.
The case against Sam Hartzigian.
militant rank and file leader in the
Lowell Protective Textile Union,

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Extreme Behavior.

1T APPEARS that we all have our
shortcomings. now and then. 1t is
next to impossible to find an entirely
adequate human being. What is
sometimes called the new psychology"
has had lot to say about this sub
ject.
The question raised was this: How
may one detect the shortcomings of an
individual? The answer is this: When
the individual begins TO get nervous,
or angry, or raves, you may know that
you have struck some tender spot in
his mental makeup. The chances are
you have found weakness. Putting
it all together as a general PROPOSE
ton, you may say that extreme be-
havior in one direction is a symptom
of weakness along that very line.
This is perhaps not so new, after
all. An old saying runs like this:
Your opponent is whipped the mo-
ment he loses his temper" However
all this may be, it is still possible to
go to extremes i'll pointing out the
weaknesses that lurk behind extreme
behavior
Spending sprees may follow finan-
cial reverses. But are there not times
when salvation turns on that ex-
tremity? II may not look quite SO
well to be strutter. But strut now
and then is far from unwholesome.
Neither does a show of anger always
betray a weakness. There's a time
for all these extreme behaviorisms.
Otherwise. nature would not have
made provision for them.

1t is declared tina they can glide for
Is minutes or longer without a stroke

them power.
The speed of birds is another inter-
esting thing. The airplane has made
it possible to get better figures in this
field. because aviators can keep abreast
OF birds which are on the wing.
Airplane tests show that small song
birds average about % miles an hour,
while crows fly about 38 miles an hour.
Wild ducks average more than SO

Swallows are far flyers, but cannot

RIDGE is primarily q partner
ship game. Once two part
ners start itching TO be at
l. each others throats. they
might as well give up then
and there. Before you voice your
usual hardy recriminations after the
play, pause and consider what type
of partner you have.
The most common type is the SEN
sitive partner. He can dish it out.
but he can't take it, as the saying
goes. You don't even have to say
anything to him. A froWn. an un-
concealed gesture of annoyance, slap
ping the cards on the table-any one
of those things will cause him to re-
treat into melancholy shell. He Is
hurt: he becomes nervous, and his
game consequently suffers. II you
wish to maintain the partnerships
standard. you will have to choke back
your annoyance. And when 1 say
choke it back. l don't mean that you
should give spirited imitation OF an
apoplectic colonel, choking on fish
bone. A slight curl of the lip is as
bad as volley OF expletives. Try to
think of something pleasant. If you
can't bear to watch your partner S
play, when declarer, get up and leave
the table. But if all these methods
fail. and you feel that you simply must
make some comment on the bidding
or play, count rapidly to 40 and be-
gin tentatively:
That was certainly a nice bid you
made, partner-that two-club over

watching you warily. allows the ghost
