Open Letter to Mr.. German on the Textile Strike
An Editorial

propose local solidarity strikes in all the textile
areas to aid the textile workers to close every mill
We cite the example of Hszelton, Pa, where
the entire working class struck for "A hours with
mills were closed they returned to work.
We cite the proposed general strike of the Pater-
and Passaic workers to close the dye plants and
the Passaic wooden mills.
Furthermore, We propose a 24-hour or a 46-hour
general strike of TIE entire working class also with
a definite objective: the withdrawal Of the troops
and armed company guards and the establishment
of the workers right to strike and picket
These are the immediate steps necessary to win
the strike. The Communist Party will do all in its
power to carry through this policy. We urge all of
members, every militant worker, to begin at
once in an organized manner, to visit local unions
and other workers organizations
Agtate and organize for solidarity strike actions
with the textile workers.
Urge 24-hour general strike with two aims
one, close all textile mills two to force the with
drawaI of the troops and to establish the right of
the textile workers land thereby all workers. to
strike and picket!
Mr.. German, your standing before the heroic
textile workers will be determined by your readi-
to take this next necessary STEP the mobiliEa-

Farm Group Offers Reno Unity Against AAA

farmers and not to the mortgage
holders.
IS. To demand the abolition of
the AAA program which is grinding
down the small and middle farm
erS and driving many of them out
of commercial production.
g. To demand the enactment of
the Farmers Emergency Relief Bill,
a measure which meets the imme-
diate needs of the toiling farmers.
"E. To rally the farmers for
united action against terroristic and
fascist attacks on the part of the
bankers or their agents.
1.-THE exact formulation of these
demands, and the raising of further
demands can be discussed in the
joint meeting of our representatives.
1.-THE establishment of joint action
on a nation wide scale between the
members of the Holiday Association
and the members of the United
Farmers League will undoubtedly
inspire other farmers to act with us
also. Organizations and groups like
the Farmers Union, the Farmers
National Committee for Action, and
others would probably join in these
united efforts.
THE national convention Of the
United Farmers League which met
at Minneapolis this year, June 1925
declared itself for united action of
all farm groups on difinite pro-
gram especially on the question of
drouth relief. The Importance of
united action was re-emphasized at
the meeting of the United Farmers
League National Executive Council
on September l and 2.

tativeS we shall be able to discuss
in detail the actions which should
be undertaken in order to meet the

Pickets Battle
Police, Close
Allentown Mill
By Charles Spencer
Especial to the Daily WORKER

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Sept. 10. -
Hundreds of pickets from Allentown
and Emaus battled police, f1remen
and special deputies for two hours
today and succeeded in closing down
the fremont Mill in Emaus. Police
seized a number of pickets, but
they were freed by the workers,
who took the clubs away from the
cops and fored them to retreat,
The whole community became in
volved in the fight, coming to the
aid of the strikers. Windows crashed
in when bricks began sailing
through the air from everywhere,
and the slogan, "Emaus must
come out" rang from several hun
dred Threats. The sheriff appeared
on the scene shortly after the hos
tilities started and began handing
out cheap cigars to the pickets, but
picketing continued until the boss
was forced to close the mill.
Today all the mills in Emaus are
being protected by special deputies
with sawed-off shot guns, and any
stranger approaching the mills is
questioned. The bosses in Emaus
figure that if Bethlehem can keep
the mills open, so can Emaus, re-
vealing how important it is to i'm
mediately break through the terror
in Bethlehem.
The Communist Party is calling
mass demonstration tonight at
Center Square to protest the ter
ror in Bethlehem, and has called on
the workers to carry through a
mass march to Bethlehem to close
the mills.
At the same time a leahet was
issued to the workers of Bethlehem
calling for a labor conference to
make preparations for a general
sympathy strike.

alton shall take in the distressing
times that are bound to come dur
ing the coming winter. :.
1--WE agree with you that the sit
uation confronting the farmers and
other laboring people is the most
serious in the history of the country
and that as winter approaches this
situation will grow worse.
"We also note that an editorial in
the same issue of the Holiday News
opposes the AAA acreage cutting
program and the referendum
among the corn-hog farmers that
is now planned by the AAA to get
their sanction" for this destruc-
ton program.
1T is urgently necessary now that
the organized and unorganized
farmers mobilize for united action.
On lately in many occasions local
organizations of the Holiday Asso-
citation and of the United Farmers
League have struggled jointly
against evlctlonS and foreclosures
and on other issues:
1--WE therefore propose that the
National Board of the Holiday Asso-
citation elect representatives who
shall meet with representatives of
the National Executive Council of
the United Farmers League to con-
slider action on the following points.
Il. To organize united mass
struggles against the AAA acreage
cutting program in wheat and
corn-hog.
90. To organize mass struggles for
immediate drouth relief for all
needy farmers.
"3. To win adequate feed and
forage supplies for the cattle of the
drouth stricken farmers.
80 To demand higher prices fol
cattle, bought by the government
under the drouth relief program and
to demand that all funds from the
sale of cattle will go directly to the
