—_———————LKLKLKL PASSAIC MILL WORKERS HOLD MEETING FRIDAY Organizing a United Front Against Cut (Special to The Dally Worker) PASSAIC, N. J., Nov, 12.—The unit- ed front committee of textile work- ers is making a headway in organiz-~ ing the textile workers. This Friday will be the second mass meeting which promises to be more success- ful than the first held two weeks ago. The work of organization hardly be- gan and yet hundréds of workers join- ed‘the organization. It seems that the workérs of Passaic are awakening and“beginning to see that’ unless they organizé themsélves, they are hope- Jess. * The average wages for a 48-hour week {s $23.00. This explains every- thing. How can a worker live on $23 a Week, when the cost of living is as high as it is? How can a worker edu- cate his children, who gets $23 for 48 hours? Everybody knows that you cannot make even a half decent living on such starvation wages. It is time for the textile -workers to build a strong organization and fight for less hours and more’ wages. The united front committee of textile workers is helping to create such a fighting organization. Help the U. F. C.‘of T. W. and you help yourself. Come to the Friday mass meeting. Speakers in all languages. Bnglish, Ben Gitlow; Polish, Radwansky; Hun- garian, Lustig; Russian, Dmitrijov; Ukrainian, Italian and German.

The Seattle painters point out that the amendment can be used to expel any unionist that may dare to “advo- cate united and militant action against the bosses” and that this amendment penalizes union members, who differ on union policy, from those. in power and that it splits the Broth- erhood instead of uniting it in a “com- mon struggle for the better things in life.” The amendment will go to referen- dum if 25 locals in five different states or provinces demand it, according to the constitution of the Painters’ Brotherhood. To those who work hard for their money, | will save 50 per cent on all their dental work. DR. RASNICK DENTIST 645 Smithfield Street PITTSBURGH, PA. WASHINGTON NHONOR OVER WORST ATROCITY. STORIES WASHINGTON, Nov. 12,—Frederick William Wile, a Washington press correspondent who now is an ardent eulogist of President Cooidge, and who broadcasts political “news” from the identified as the original press sponso: eapital for a radio company, has been r for the story that German army/off- cers cooked the bodies of dead German soldiers, during the war, in order to utilize the ofl for military purposes. propaganda in London, disclosed the+- fact at a dinner in New York, recent- ly, that this story was a lle manufac- tured by himself. British labor and liberal circles have been aroused by the discovery, and have searched the documentary history of the lie. Compete for “Honor. Accarding to the London Herald, one of the prominent war corféspond- ents"has now testified that Charteris told him‘ this story late in i916; The first usé made of it in the press was in April, 1917, when Wile, in “the Daily Mail, owned by Northcliffe,’ as- serted that the Berlin Lokal Anziger had” “caflously admitted what’ had been ‘known for some time in Allied countries”—that the German com- mand was frying the fat out of the bodies of German dead. Gruesome descriptions of this process were printed, under headlines referring to “Hun Ghouls”. The dispatch printed in the Lokal Anziger which was credited to Karl Rosner, 2 famous war correspondent, mentioned coming into a_ region which was oppressed by the stench from a reduction plant, in which flesh was being made into fertilizer, pig feed and oil. The word translated by Wile as “corpses” describing the raw material, was a German word which is’ generally used to describe only the dead bodies of animals— such as horses, cattle, dogs, etc. No- where was there a reference to the “corpses” as being human. Another Lie Nailed. An officer has also come forward with direct denial of the story that human bodies were “reduced” in a certain concrete chamber over a canal at a specified point in Belgium. The photograph taken in that spot when this British officer was present, showed the deadly effects of an Allied shell, which had killed the staff of a German mess kitchen. The picture was used, however, as evidence that these dead were being cut up for “reduction.” Denver Workers Flock Into Trade Unions DENVER, Nov. 12—Organization among Denver workers is taking a leap forward with new activity among ‘the shoe repairers” teachers and’ jail guards. The Yellow Front shops are now 100 per cent union with the for- mation of a Denver local of shoe re- pairers. The jail guards have joined the city employes’ union and a teach- ers’ local is under way with! the staff of the Denver Labor college as the nucleus from which to penetrate the public school system. A union. label trick by employers was exposed by the Bakery Workers’ Union. Old Homestead bread is non- union but the wrapper carries a big union label which is shown when housewives ask for union bread. The label covers only the printing on the wrapper. The bread inside is as scabby as ever, the union bakers show.

Jewish Masses Settle on Soviet Land Grants MOSCOW, Nov. 12.—In the course of the last year, with the assistance of the. Soviet authorities, 6,000 Jewish families. ‘were settled on the land, which means a population of about 20,000 .people. There are now exist- ing hundreds of Jewish villages. The desire for settling on the land is very great among the masses of laboring Jews. Land is to be alloted for another 10,000 families in the com- ing year. Much assistance has been ziven to the Jewish settlers by the ‘Agro-Joint” organization of America, which has spent about $700,000 in the first year on supplying the new set- ulers with the necessary implements. The Soviet government, in addition co subsidies, extends also numerous orivileges to the colonists in regard co taxes, etc.* Before the revolution the Jewish masses. were not. allowed to work on the land. The antisemitic czarist pol- icy. would. not. allow the Jews to en- gage in-this important branch of the national economy. Now, under the li- beral regime of the Soviets, the Jews prove to be highly capable and in- dustrious agriculturists, serving in many districts ag models to their gen- tile neighbors in the adoption of mod- ern agricultural methods. The extent of the popularity of the desire for settling on the land among Jewish masses may be gauged from the fact that more than 30,000 Jew- ish families have applied for coloniz- ation on the allotments to be granted by the Soviet agricultural authorities in the coming year. Labor Unions Will Have Fat Chance to Use Air WASHINGTON,, Nov, 12.—There are too many broadcasting stations in the congested districts ot the United States, and congress should strictly limit the total number to avoid gen- eral interference and ruin of the ex- isting service, That’ was the burden of Secretary Hoover’s speech as chairman of the fourth national radio conference, held in..Washington, Dd. C. His declaration put an end to the dream that labor organizations might soon be broadcasting trade union pro- paganda from their own stations. Speakers representing existing broadcasting stations confirmed his view. ‘The ether,is jammed full al- ready, and if labor gets its message out to the millions of receiving sets it must pay the high prices charged by the existing broadcasters, The “air” of radio is no more free than is good prairie land. It is all taken up, Education In Moscow. MOSCOW, Noy, 12.—As compared with last year, the number of schools functioning in Moscow has been in- creased from $19 to 390, and the number of students from 152,970 to 180,680, During the present year 210 kinder gartens with 6,720 children will be functioning, and also 277 children’s homes for 23,450 children, 56,265 students are learning trades lin technical institutions... i Pp. m.

The strikers, who are being transferred to a local of their own from the railway ma- |chinists, demand 85 cents an hour for |day work and 90 cents for night work. |They have’ been getting around 60 |cents. The Buick garage is the leader in the fight against decent pay. Dicks Frame Strikers. The Burns frame-up, as charged by the attorney for the strikers, started in getting the confidence of a striker by a man who posed as an insurance solicitor. The striker and the sup- posed solicitor had a few drinks and walked downtown to the Buick garage where there is a 3-foot space to the next building. Here the solicitor per- suaded the tipsy striker to step in with him. The Burns man after light- ing a bomb, according to the union story which led to the issuance of the warrants, told his companion to run away while he himself stayed in the backgrotind. Police Release Dicks. Just as the striker ran four other Burns men who had been planted pursued him and shot him, pursuing him in co-operation with the police. Unfortunately one policeman looked into the space where the bomb was dropped and seized the skulker in the shadow, Burns agent. The police let him go the next day, but when the union at- torney got on the trial he had ‘the sheriff take out warrants for all five Burns men in this bomb frame-up [against the union, Civic Opera Offers Die Walkuere, Faust and, Tosca This Week Perhaps the most interesting fea- ture of the many characterizing the second week of the ‘season was the inclusion in the schedule of the first repeat performance of “Der Rosen- kavalier,” on Friday night, Nov. 13: This tunefml German) opera in the comedy vein has proved the most suc- cessful novelty that the company has introduced in years.

Air Casualities High In the few days that Mitchell has had..to put witnesses on the stand, he hasbeen able to establish thru these witnesses that are at present engaged in the chemical war,. ayia- tion, and anti-aircraft services, that. the. peace-time fatalities in the army jair service from 1919 to 1924 were approximately 22 times more than in all of the rest of the army combined. Fatalities in the navy air service amounted to 226, in the army 39 and air mail 40. It has been shown that out of the 56,000 pilots in the air service but one out of ten gets proper training, and that of this number 500 would be able to “handle” a plane after two weeks training, 500 more after a month’s training and the others would be useless unless given at least three to six month’s train- ing. Wooden Overcoats Their Reward The chances that young aviators have in ever landing on terra firma safely was told by one of the officers when he showed that for the past four years the planes operated by the national guard have often been faulty ‘and lacked parachutes, so that when |the engine went dead, as a rule the | aviator could resign himself to either a long stay in a hospital or a much longer rest in a wooden overcoat. The expedition commande@ by Lieut. Commander Byrd that went in- to the Arctic were sent by the navy department into ice-filled seas with a plane that was not built for Arctic regions but for tropical regions. The planes had been specifically bought by the navy for use in Hawaii, the Phillipines and Panama. The planes used in the Arctic were not even giv- en the proper tests. It was brought in the course of the investigation that the flight of the Shenandogh was carried out against the wishes of the late Commander Lansdowne and that its safety factor had been reduced by the use of hy- lium instead of hydrogen, by the re- moval of one of the gas engines in the dirigible and also thru the detrio- ration of one of the gas cells due to lack of proper care, ‘Score Whitewashing The navy was blamed for the silen- cing and suppression of the facts in the disaster of the Hawaiian PN-1 and: Shenandoah flights the attempt of the navy instructing Lansdowne’s widow what tp say in the whitewash investigation that took place follow- ing the Shenandoah disaster was scored. Lemberg Prison Hunger Strikers to Be Sent to Vronki Bastille MOSCOW (IRA), Nov. 12.—Reports have arrived from Warsaw that the political prisoners of the Lemberg pri- son have again gone on hunger strike because their demands have not been fulfilled. In order to break down the hunger strike, the prison administra- tion, in contradiction to the existing regulations, has decided to transport many prisoners to the hard labor pri- son in Vronkj which is well known to all the political prisoners for the brutal rule against class-war fighters.
