Y Vincend, New York, MINE WOMEN | NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 27.— {The 2,500 organized street car wor jers in New Haven, Hartford, Stam- | \ford, Bridgeport and other Connecti- jeut cities today began to take a {second vote for a general strike ‘against the Connecticut Co.. sub- f the New Haven R.R. Great faction was voiced among the workers with the action of W. 0. |Mahon, president of the Amalga- mated Union in calling off the walk- jout. The sentiment among the workers indicates an overwhelming desire for a walkout. The Central men de- mand 75 cents an hour instead of 62 cents on two man cars; an increase from 69 cents to 90 on one man cars; and from 72 cents to 90 on busses. The six day week, eight hour day, and official recognition of the union are also demanded. The action of Mahon in calling off the strike added to the long list of the labor betrayals by the reaction- ary officials of the Amalgamated. Manufacturers of Connecticut have formed a united front with the trac- tion bosses by offaring to supply strikebreakers from among their em- ployees. KLAN IN ELECTION STEAL, IS CHARGE Indiana Organization Used Trickery INDIANAPOLIS, June 27. — The hand of the Ku Klux Klan is once more revealed directing large-scale corruption and graft in Indiana. This time Archibald Hall, who was de- feated for the republican nomination for Congress by Representative Ralph E. Updike, Klan candidate, charges the use of all sorts of ballot trickery to steal the election. Hall’s charges will be submitted to the new country grand jury next week, according to William Remy, county prosecutor, This will be the | fifth investigation of the activities of | the Indiana Ku’ Klux Klan, which) has been in control of the state ma-| chinery, with representation in the | United States senate through Sena- | tor James E.

The relief organization has been caring for the needs of hundreds of the strikers since the strike began.

They were attended by several thousands, and showed the greatest enthusiasm. Fighting Spirit. The fighting spirit shown by the strikers during this and last week, which was marked by police attacks on the picket lines and the imprison- ment of the two union leaders Mur- doch and Beal, indicate that the call for a parade on Saturday will result in a vast outpouring of scores of thousands of strikers and sympathi- zers. A demonstration of such great power and strength is obviously just what the politician hirelings of the mill barons want to avoid, the T. M.

TECHNICIANS SAIL FOR SOVIET UNION Group Returns After 5 Months in U. S. Two Russian engineers and six workers sailed, yesterday on the “Ber- engaria” aficr a five months’ study of the Canadian and Atherican paper industries. Upon return to the Sov- iet Union all of these men will be employed in the $16,000,000 Volga: paper mill, to be completed this year, which is the largest in the U. S. S. R. and one of the most modern in Europe. Another engineer will remain here for some time in connection with ad- ditional orders to be placed for Amer- ican paper mill equipment. This is the third group of Soviet workers and technicians sent here to acquire first hand knowledge of American produc- tion methods. The Volga paper mill, which. will start partial operation this summer, is designed to produce annually 50,000 metric tons of newsprint and 25,000 tons of other paper. The new fac- tory will supply a large part. of the requirements of the U. S. S. R. for newsprint which heretofore has been mainly imported from abroad.

Urging the intensification of the protest campaign for the liberation of Bela Kun, Hungarian revolutionary, leader who is threatened with extra- dition and death at his trial which is now going on in Vienna, the national office of the International Labor De- fense today issued an appeal to the American labor movement and the working class “Bela Kun, the leader of the Hun- garian working class revolutionary movement, is on trial for his life” reads the appeal. “The Austrian gov- ernment of the reactionary Seipel whose hands are already red wi‘b the blood of the Vienna workers which he shed last July, will do all in its power to extradite Bela Kun to Horthy’s Hungary where immediate death awaits him at the hands of ‘the fascists. ‘ Loyalty to Class. 3 “Bela Kun’s ‘erime’ consists in his unswerving loyalty to the cause of the working class. For us this is not a ‘crime’ but the highest virtue of a labor leader. It is our sacred duty to’ mobilize our maximum power to prevent this hideous’ assassination. Only immediate pressure exerted on the Austrian government will effect the liberation of Bela Kun. Every workers’ organization must immedi- ately forward its protest to Vienna! Meetings and demonstrations must be arranged everywhere. Our voices must be united in an irresistible de- mand for the release of Bela Kun and the full right of asytum for all polit- ical emigrants!
