Many are the enthusiastic compli-

Worker from workers and farmers

the compliments there goes also a
sad regret that the deep sufferings,
ghastly struggles and splendid sue

There is no possible answer to
the problem but to have the new,

trade union, must treat this as their
own business.

NEW YORK.-Israel Amter
Communist candidate for Governor
will deliver the keynote speech at
a mass meeting tonight at Man
haitian Lyceum, sc E. Fourth st.
He will discuss outstanding issues
facing the city's workers in the
current election campaign.
The mass meeting will be pre-
coded by two parades starting from
Rutgers Square and Union Square,
led by the Workers Ex-Service-

muniSt candidate for assemblyman,
and other local candidates will
also speak.
The Communist gubernatorial
candidate issued a statement yes
terday in which he attacked Mayor
LaGuardia's Labor Day speech in
Chicago. The statement declares
that Mayor LaGuardia put him
self forward as representative of
the so-called progressive element
in the country. In this Labor Day
speech he identified himself COM
pletely with Roosevelt and the
New Deal proposing nothing more
than Roosevelt has to propose
This makes him a champion of

Makesey is responsible for a six

position on arbitration and the red

militant and democratic policy of

agreements for wage increases with

Among the points on the agenda
for tonight's meeting is a report of

the membership will be asked to act
on the question of raising funds for

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. s.
More than $4,000 textile workers are
out on strike in this area, with nine
large mills completely shut down in
this city, and at least four more in
Norristown and Bridgeport nearby.
Police terror is being thoroughly
prepared with a supply of tear gas
bombs being laid in.
Pursuing the policy carried on in
other centers, the United Textile
Union officials have not yet pre-
sented any official series of de-
mands to the employers.
Mass picketing began yesterday
despite a heavy downpour of rain.
Edward Heany, local union organ
izer and six others, were arrested
at the head of the picket line, but
their release was forced by the
militancy of the workers.
A mass meeting of all strikers
will be held Thursday night at
Kensington Lyceum, Second and
Cambria Streets. All workers are
urged to be present.
