Every local union should proceed
to elect broad strike committee
at once to lead the struggle. The

the regular meeting places and set
up broad committees to lead the
struggle.
The lockout must me turned into
a general strike. The proposals of
the bosses must be debated and the

come to his immediate assistance.
Surrounded by the most vicious
white chauvinism created by the
southern ruling class, Angelo Hern-

behind the prison bars in Georgia.
He is hurting defiance at his jailers.
Courageously, behind his prison bars
he still proclailns the demands of
the white and Negro workers and
breaks through the stink Of the
southern slave market.
Such leaders we need back in the
ranks of the working class. 1t there
fore becomes the most urgent duty
of every trade unionist to do all
in his or her power to help in the
collection of the bail fund. We call
on all members of the trade unions
to Immediately do everything pos
sible to help raise the necessary bail
fund and collect finances. All funds
should be Immediately sent to the
International Labor Defense, so E.

workers who are able to give loans
to send them into the same Office.
There are only a few days left.
Don't wait for official action by your
locals and trade boards but take it up
Immediately in your shops and col
lect the necessary funds in order
that we may be able to wrest Angelo

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Food
prices are now at the highest level
in two and a half years, and still
headed upward, the Department Of
Labor reports.
Food costs of daily necessities
have now reached a point where
they are at least Is per cent higher
than when Roosevelt took office in
1882.
The Roosevelt processing taxes,
N. R. A. monopoly price fixing, and
inflationary measures have all con-
tributed to raising the cost of food
necessities for every workers family
in the country.
AS a result Of this rise in food
costs, grocery store sales continue

Comparison with earlier years
shows a far greater decline in the
amount of food which American
workers and their families have
been able to buy. Although retail
food prices advanced by S.6 per cent
between July Is, 1882, and July 8,
1884, the dollar volume of grocery
sales in June, 1894, was actually
ohe-half of one per cent lower than
in June, 1882. Dollar volume of
grocery sales this June was 1915 per
cent lower than in June, 1881; 231a
per cent lower than in June, 1890;
and 261a per cent lower than in
June, 1920.

1t is not known yet what the out

thing is sure-that all the forces of

the NR.A. supporters, are urging

RooseveIt's Hand Seen
The direct hand Of President
Roosevelt in the strikebreaking ma
neuvers were revealed more clearly
following the arrival Of Donald r.
Richberg, so-called recovery CO.
ordinator, at the White House in
Washington last week.
Richberg, who was on vacation
in New England, has been in close
conferences with Marvin Mcintyre
of the Presidents secretariat. Nc
Ihtyre has served as a liaison man
at the White House with the Presi-
dent aboard the U.S.S. Houston.
Richberg has played a big role in
directing N.R.A. strikebreaking ma
neuvers in the past.
General Johnson, who personally
directed the strikebreaking forces
for several days and issued the call
for violence against Communists
and aggressive strikers, left here
for San Diego in an army plane
The reason for the Generals de-
parture was held a secret. Although
the old strikebreaker was reported
to be on his way to Washington,
it is believed that he will stay on
the West Coast to aid in further
moves to break the maritime strike
If the ballotting fails to do the
trick today.
Troops still At Docks
Although it is reported that
troops are evacuating the water
front, more than 1000 members of
the 250th Coast Artillery and the
159th Infantry are still patrolling
the dock area. More than 1900 of
the troops have been sent to nearby
training camps.

Detroit s. p. Gets Unity Call
DETROIT.-The Michigan Dis
trict of the Communist Party has
sent a proposal to the Socialist
Party for a united demonstration
against war and fascism on Aug.
1 on the occasion of the 10th ami
versary of the World War.
The Aug. l demonstration will
be held at 7 pm. at Times Square.
Workers will mobilize at pm. at
Perrien Park, Chene and Warren,
and from there march to Times
Square.
After recounting the unprece-
dented growth of war preparations
and the development of fascist re-
action, the letter of the Communist
Party, which Is signed by William
Weinstone, district secretary, de-
clares:
"In the face of these conditions,
the united action of the working
class becomes imperative. The
working class is endeavoring to set
up that unity in the course Of its
struggles, as is witnessed by the
magnificent fight of the San Fran
cisco lockers and the whole labor
movement of the West Coast, and
is proven by the strivings for soli-
darity actions in practically all
sections of the labor movement.
We propose that on the goth
anniversary of the World War a
united demonstration be arranged
in this city around the main slo-
gans of the fight against imperial
ist war and fascisnl-a demonstra-
ton that will protest the violence
of the ruling class against the
workers and in favor of the hard
won rights of the working class.
The Communist Party has re-
peatedly called upon all workers
organizations and upon the Social
list Party to establish this united
front. And we once again ask you
to join together with us in rallying
the workers behind such united ac-
ton.
"a conference has already been
held to arrange for a demonstra-
ton in Times Square at 7 pm. and
we ask that you participate in the
calling of this demonstration. We
are ready to discuss with you ways
and means of joint and united ac-
ton to make this demonstration
successful and to continue a united
front against war and fascism."
