Urges New Recruits for Party. Engdahl] pointed out.how the Com-| munist struggle grows out of the im- mediate needs of the workers, ridicul- ing the attack of the exploiters’ press that Bolshevism as it manifests itself} jin this country is an importation from} Europe. He made an appeal for new} members. for the Workers (Com- munist) Party.

Shachtman told of the dangers of| new wars facing American imperial- ist rule on many fronts, Simons acted. as chairman, More Meetings; Collect Signatures.

Tho Samuel In- sull is now in Europe, his representa- tives were present at the meeting of bankers that agreed on the scheme and it is believed that Insull will be elected to direct the reorganization. Bankers Out For Profits, The bankers are out to make mon- ey on the plan and they have suggest- ent its arrangement for a division of earnings. A charge of 1 cent for trans- fers will be made. This little plan is expected to mean $1,500,000 to the bankers’ coffers. The construction of initial subways with the $45,000,000 traction fund now in possession “of the city treasury, is proposed. The city council must en- dorse the scheme before it can be put into operation.

Scales Cost Money. Joseph Stecke, who supplies fish to fish-eaters somewhere on North Hal- sted street, was as nifty a scale-trim- mer as ever handled a cleaver. But. Stecke manicured one fish that held on to his scales and the operation cost him $25. Judge Padden got the scales of justice to work on the fish | that Stecke sold and Stecke was in- |formed that he should sell hig fish undressed. Perhaps his honor likes to take his fish in the nude. Now the scales have fallen from Stecke’s {eyes and he promised that hfs fish will leave his store in the future as polished as a politician’s right hand.

Yes, it was hard, practically impossible to work, breath, keep up our families and be healthy under these circum- stances, Six Loom System. On the top of this the bosses wanted us to run six looms instead of four. They wanted to cut our wages 334%. Our wages are so low anyway— from 9—12 dollars in average, and the new system will make impossible for us to work. Jt will ruin. our health completely. This is why we | went out on strike. This is why every morning about | 100 strikers picket the mill gates sing- |ing our strike songs. Our beloved song “Solidarity”. This is why we demand a 20% in- crease in wages. We want some of | the silk we are weaving. We want some sunshine and air. We want | sinks to wash up our hands. We | can’t wash our hands in rusty pails. We want a sanitary chest in the mill | and a resting room too, We think we have a right to use the elevators in- stead of climbing five flights of stairs, Yes, we want human conditions and an American standard of living. Above all we want a union—an or- .| ganization to protect the interests of the workers in the Lowell Silk Mill against our enemies—the bosses. We learned to do many things dur- ing the strike, We have many young workers in the strike committee. We learned how to educate scabs. We didn’t know we had so many speakers among us, but now, we know. We discovered it while appealing for money before labor unions to help us win our strike. eA ack a, young rs Lowell Mill, learned # lot dur- ee the strike as you see, We learned that the bosses are our greatest enemies but we're deter- mined to fight and fight until we'll get our final victory thru one big textile union, AMERIGAN DELEGATES TO ARMS CONFERENCE GOES ~ AFTER SUB-COMMITTEE GENEVA, Sept. 23.—Violent dis- cussions were precipitated in the preparatory disarmament commis- sion today when Hugh Gibson, Amercan minister to Switzerland and head of the American delegation to the conference, criticized the work of the military sub-commis- sion. “ Gibson requested that the new In- structions be issued to the military sub-commission not to engage itself with political questions, but to con- fine its activities to technical con- siderations, Get a copy of the American Worker Correspondent.

At the present time there is a strike at the Sarnoff-Irving hat factories of Perth Amboy, N. J., involving’ about 300 young workers (plants employ on- ly young workers), The strike is now in its third day and 42 of the workers are out already. Being young workers and inexperi- enced in strikes the workers gather in groups every morning on corners near mills, I am a former employe of the Sarnoff-Irving hat factory, 80. naturally I gm interested in this fight. With two Passaic textile strikers’ children—who are in Perth Amboy,for a vacation—I went to the plant. See- ing that the strikers had no picket line, but were only standing on the corners, I got in touch with some of the strikers I knew, to discuss the question with them of forming a picket line to march up and down in front of the mills. I told them two Passaic strikers’ children were here who would lead the picket lime for them if they wanted it. They were glad to hear this and all the workers present immediately formed a picket line numbering about 125 workers in all. With little Frances Fisher, 12 years old, and Elizabeth Huber, 13 years old—the two Passaic textile strikers’ children—at the head of the picket line, the workers started the march up and down in front of the mills, The workers remaining in the mills afl tushed to the windows to see the picket line, while all the bosses were standing in front of the doors down stairs, to keep workers in the plants from joining the picket line outside, if any attempted to do so, After picketing, the two Passaic strikers’ ' children were taken to the strike meeting in an automobile, while the | rest of the workers marched down in a body. The hat works strikers asked the Passaic strikers’ children to teach : them some of the Passaic strikers’ songs. This they gladly agreed to do, Thus the Passaic strikers’ children are militant fighters in labor's ranks wherever they go—imitating their striking fathers and mothers at home. Condemn Scabbing by Students solved that this conference goes on record as against the practice of ool lege student’s scabbing during indus- trial disputes.” This resolution was passed uneniomusly at a conference of thirty young college students who have been spending their summer va- cations as manual laborers in indus- try. The conference, held at EHarl- ham College, passed few other reso- .j lutions, being largely devoted to a discussion of the value of college stu- dents working in industry and what the various students could do in the coming year to establish closer con- tact between students, and industrial workers. The students, both young men and women, represented 16 colleges and universities in the central wast as well as two labor colleges—Brook- wood and Commonwealth—and the Bryn Mawr Summer School for Wo- men in Industry. With them were five young industrial workers, most , of them working in organized trades and being members of their respective unions, and several other active work- ers in the labor movement, will be just aa could to receive | THE YOUNG COMRADE SUBSCRIBE FOR HIM!
