THE DAILY WORKER RAISES THE STANDARD FOR A WORKERS’ AND FARMERS’ GOVERNMENT VOL. I. No. 356. AS STRIKE $ Judge Denis Sullivan's injunction failed to prove itself the paralyzing blight that the bosses’ association expected, for the strike was going along with increased vigor as the day closed yesterday and Vice President the strike, announced that ten more manufacturers had settled with the union and granted the maintenance of unemployed and all the other demands of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. , Neatly 200 workers are involved in this victory making more than 400 in all who have gained their ends since the strike started—15 shops having previously settled—and at this rate officials expect that the bitter end bosses will find the pres- sure becoming too strong for them to endure.

The issue is making the same dramatic appeal as did the famous New York garment strike of 1913, which brought dozens of pickets from women’s organizations. One of the volunteer student pickets is a Chica- go girl: Lulu Montgomery comes from Wheeling, W. Va., Alexia Smith, from Baltimore, May Bellock and Celia Chanowitz from New York City.

A NEW DAY "FRE ith Anniversary of the founding of the Communist In- ternational should be a day of re- jeicing to the workers of the whole world. The Communist International camé into the world as the new rallying centre of the revolution- workers fighting against capi- fallen in the hour of betrayal by the Second International and the parties of which it was composed. During the past five years the Communist International has grown from the small group of men as- sembled in the Kremlin on March 5th, 1919, and their few tens of thousands of followers to an or- ganization which has won loyalty and devotion of millions of work- ers. Today the Communist Interna- tional has its sections in practical- ly every country in the world. Wherever there are men and women who fight against the exploitation and oppression of capitalism; there are the su mortars of the Commun- ist Interna’ . On this Fifth Anniversary of the founding of the Communist Inter- national, the Central Executive Committee of the Workers Party believes that it should make clear to those workers who do not know what the Communist International is, what it stands for and the ends it is seeking to achieve. oH The Chains Are Falimg Away.

Walsh’s correspondence showed that, while he had passed the sug- gestion to Doheny, he rejected over- tures from the oil magnate inviting him or his brother John to join Do- heny in the proposed Montana enter- prise. Walsh explained that because of his position as a senator he would not enter any business involving re- ceipt of favors from the government, such as oil leases.

Burns, head of the govern- ment’s secret service, she had notified her husband, secretary to E. B. Mc- Lean, that McLean’s connection with the Department of Justice was being investigated. Burns, she said, gave her the department’s secret code and told her to use it in sending the mes- sage. This was her explanation of the coded “Mary” telegram which the committee found among messages sent to McLean’s party at Palm Beach.
