keep out the real aims of the Communist Party
in the strike and in the constant struggle against
capital and all its brutality starvation misery and
oppression.
How shall we bring the Communist election cam
paign to the textile strikers to other strikers to
workers in the shops and trade unions? Every
Communist Party candidate do it by more
boldly appearing before the workers in their strug
giles as a Communist candidate. Wherever there
picket lines in the vicinity the Communist
Party candidate must be there, must march along
with the workers, let them know who he is what
he is there for, what he would do if elected, what
the Communist Party proposes in this strike and
in the general struggle after the strike against the
mill owners
At shop gate meetings in mass meetings, in
fraternal organizations in the trade unions, the
Communist candidates must come forward boldly,
requesting the right to speak, putting forward the
Communist Party program.
Every unit, section and district of the Party
should in the very heat of the strike not restrict
themselves alone to the immediate issues of the
strike. More effort must be put into winning the
strike. But along with this should go Communist
election campaign meetings with special invitation
to the strikers to hear how the Communists, if
elected would act toward the strike how the Com
munist Party proposes to end the miSeries of capt.

had to catch train, but promised
that he would reply to the pro-
poSals as soon as possible.
Strikers Demand Relief
Last night delegation of rank
and file strikers from Concord came
to Charlotte and demanded that
the top officials of the U. T. w. get
busy at once and set up relief
apparatus for the strikers.
They've got to cut out the prom
Uses and do something" said the
chairman of the delegation. Were
doing this over the heads of the
rotten leaders up in Concord" an
other declared. The question of re-
lief is the most burning question
in the Southern area. Not one cents
worth of relief has been forthcom-
ing from the National Office of the
U. T. w. and the strikers are fac
ing actual starvation"
Troops Jail c. P. Organizer
Yesterday troops arrested Joseph
P. Klein, Communist organizer,
when he led a picket line in front
of the Powell Mill at Lyman, S. c.
He was taken to the military head
quarters in Greenville and escorted
out of the State.
THE next time we see you or
any other Red We'll run bayonet
through you," a guard officer told
Klein.
Carolyn Drew, representative of
the International Labor Defense,
was enthusiastically received when
she addressed a mass meeting in
the Union Hall at Concord last
night. The International Labor
Defense has offered aid in defend
ing the six strikers who will come
up in court in Concord tomorrow
on charges of melting to riot.

talism. Special election campaign leaflets, woven
around the immediate issues in the locality, expos
ing the local capitalist candidates, the Socialist
Party candidates should be issued.
The more intense the strike struggle, the more
intense should be our election campaign because it
is then when the workers, learning the lessons of
the role of the capitalist state most receptive
to our program and aims
Up to now, the Communist election campaign
has Jagged, when it should be gaining tremendous
momentum. In countries where the class struggle
is not as intense it is in the United States as
for instance in Sweden and Australia the Com
munist Party in the recent elections increased its
votes by from 300 to $50 per cent. In Sweden the
Communist Party raised its deputies in parliament
from to Az
But in the United States unless we go to the
workers with our program, unless we discuss with
them, explain the Communist program to them,
show them by deeds that we are militant fight
ers, capable of carrying out program, they will
not vote for us, and we will not achieve the ire
mendous vote that the favorable situation should
assure to the Communist Party.
Every Communist, every Sympathizer wherever
he is active, whatever part he plays in the strike
struggles, should speed the election campaign of
the Communist Party. Roll up huge Communist
vote Fight for the election of Communist can
didates!

The meeting will also be a pro-
test against the ruling of the New
York Police Department prohibiting
the Jobless from marching for more
relief and unemployment insurance.
Clarence Hathaway, editor of the
Daily Worker, will be the main
speaker of the evening. He will
trace the history of the Party from
its formation after the split in the
Socialist Party, through the DAYS of
illegal struggle, the role Of the Com
munist International, Lenin and

Especial to the Daily worker

PAWTUCKET, R. L, Sept. 90
Again the Communist Party has
proven that despite all terror, mass
arrests of its members and SYM
pathizers it can still carry on its
work among the masses. Immedi-
ately after the raiding of the work
ers' headquarters and arrests, the
Providence and Pawtucket Commu-
mist Party members met and de-
cided to further intensity their
worl- eng the strikers. While all
the I,1-.oo in Rhode Island were on
the lookout for active militant
workers, the Communist Party
members were selling the Daily
Worker, attended union meetings,
etc.
One of the best examples to prove
that the Communist Party was
right in saying, 1.-THE best place to
hide in times of terror is amongst
the masses of workers." was shown
last Sunday when one well known
local Communist, known both to
the police and workers, together
with a few rank and file U. t. w.
and independent workers, organized
and led the funeral march of over
1000 workers from the home of
Charles Garcynski, 10 years old, to
the cemetery.
The police, previous to the fun
eral march, wanted to seize this
worker, but dared not arrest him
at the march. Instead of arrest
ing him they practically took orders
from him as to how to direct traf-
fic from church to cemetery.
Over $4,000 workers participated
in the funeral at the church, and
1000 at the cemetery.
The Polish radical workers i'm
mediately called mass meeting
for Polish strikers last night.
Over 500 workers were in the hall,
and many had to stay in the cor
ridor or go home as the hall was
overcrowded. Thaddius Radwan-
ski, editor of "Trybuna Robotnicza, -
Polish Communist weekly, and
Walter Petraska, member OF
American Independent Textile
Workers Union, were enthusiast
cally received when they called for
mass picketing. Petraska called on
all U. T. w. and A. I. T. w. work
ers to form one united front.
Many mass meetings are planned
in Providence and Pawtucket in the
next few days. The Communist
Party is determined to get on the
ballot. A very large increase in
votes is expected. Governor Green's
Red" scare is smashed, as work.
ers no longer fall for it.
Many Daily Worker readers were
gained as a result. An investiga-
ton in the mills shows very few
workers back at work, despite all
intimidation by police and i'm
migration authorities.

is no reason why the 1925 daily
average needed should not be exc
ceeded daily. There is no reason,
if the proper pace is continued, why
the receipts should not hit the thou
sand dollar mark several days each
week.
The wide range that the drive is
occupying now is shown by the
news and contributions Of mass or
CARNATIONS and Communist Party
sections and units, that are reported
regularly. The latest group to en-
ter the drive is the Food Workers
Industrial Union. Calling upon all
members to donate and get dona-
lions, the national committee of the
union began yesterday with a con-
tribution of $50.

A PaSSaic worker reported at a
mass meeting this morning that
scabs have been imported with po-
lice protection for the Eureka Print
Works in Clifton.
Many regular workers at this
plant who have been inundated by
the company have already been
forced back to work. More than a
hundred workers who are still strik-
ing called upon the Paterson silk
workers to help them picket in Cliff
ton.
There has been increasing senti-
ment in Passaic County for a gen
eral strike to be used as a means
of closing down the wooden mills
which are still running in Passaic.
1t is reported that this sentiment
has already forced the Central La
Dor Council of this county to con-
slider the calling Of a one-day shut
down. Although no definite action
has yet been taken.
An important meeting has been
called by the Communist Party of

When asked, What are you strik-
ing for" some Of the replies were:
Shorter hours"
They work us too long. We have
to work forty hours a week. We
want to work thirty hours"
Others said:
They drive us too hard"
Every body said:
"The wages are too low"
One worker said:
1--WE only get $13 a week since
the N. R. A. (Which is the minimum
set by the N. r. A.. We want $18

When asked how long the strike
will last, they answered:

Others said: "They don't know"
And others: I'VE are fighting for

1,000 Sign With u. T. w.
In most of these mills the work
ers have been completely morgan
lied, and now about one thousand
have signed application cards for
the U. T. w. Maine has been the
least organized of the textile areas,
and the spread of the strike into
these Maine mills shows the far
reaching power of the strike.
From the time T got off the bus in
Saco- Biddeford, until O'Flaherty
and I left for Portland, we were
followed by plainclothes detectives.
Finally, uniformed policeman
came up and questioned us as to
what we were doing in town. We
told him we were on our way to
Portland. These towns in Maine are
all being run by the plain-clothes-
men, as well as troops and uni
formed cops. They are observing
everybody coming into town.
People are French Canadian
The population of the Maine area
Is largely composed of French
Canadians. Up to this time the
French Canadians, especially in
Maine, have not been in the fore
front of the previous struggles.
This is the first time that the Maine
mills have been shut down.
The following are quotes from the
Portland Press, regarding these
French American workers:
"a peace-loving, law abiding class
of citizens, never have been mixed
up with disorders of any kind.
Never sgitators. They have abso-
lutely nothing in common with
Communists.
THE only reason the mills came
out is because they are being init
Undated from the outside"
Press Aids Owners
The Portland Press in an editorial
says the following: From the first,
Mayor Robert Wiseman of Lewis
ton has taken firm stand to pro-
tect the workers who refused to be
Stampeded by out-of-state union
organizers. In his effort he has
been given invaluable aid by the
leading Catholic priest in the city
who has counselled his flock against
striking"
The French Canadians here are
largely Catholics. This shows how
they are trying to break the strike
In Maine there is very severe
wave of arrests and heavy sentences
of pickets. An example is the ar
rest in Waterville of at least ter
strikers, who were sentenced yes
terday to four, five and six months
in Jail for activity on the picket
line.
Today the National Guard is un-
dergoing an extensive shifting pro-
cess. They are shifting between
towns all over the State in orde,
