Want Dry Law Change |; LEAGUEPROTESTS USE OF NATIONAL GUARD IN STRIKE Letter Ca lisServicemen Not to Fight Workers NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Julv 1. —Letters signed by members of the Young Workers Communist League in the National Guard were distri- buted today in the armory and else- where to the other National Guards- men appealing to them to not allow themselves to be used as strike- breakers, False Promises The letters stated that the Na- tional Guardsmen had been led to! enlist by false promises, only to find that they were trained to fight against their own interests, and that in the case of the New Bedford tex- tile strike they faced the danger of being called upon to shoot down | their own sisters and mothers on} the picket lines. Many of the Na-| tional Guardsmen in this city are strikers themselves and were draf- ted to fight their own families — and renounce their own struggles to protect their jobs from scabs. These facts were pointed out in the letters. Protest Meeting An appeal was made by the young Comniunists to their fellow guards- men to take part in a protest meet- ing called here to fight against the use of servicemen for the mill own- ers against themselves and their fel- low workers. They are asked to wake up before it is too late—and to refuse to be strike-breakers. The New Bedford Young Work- ers (Communist) League has an- nounced that it will take action this week to expose the use of the Na- tional Guard in the strike, and to bring the issue more clearly before the workers, but the acting Or- ganizer, Figuredo, will not say in advance just what the course of action will be. The League has called attention to the fact that Major Winslow, who is commanding the National Guard against the strikers, is connected with the “Textile Council” which pretends to be a labor union, AUTO PARADE 10 VISIT MINE AREA Prepare For Defense | Week July 22-29 (Continued from Page One) troopers swooped down upon the pickets that day, firing revolvers and tear gas bombs into their midst. the strikers say.

Walker of New York today de- Jivered himself of a moral sermon to the movie press agents of this community last night. Politics of a national nature have no place in film circles and 4 certain movie executives have appeared “rather silly’ by par- ticipating in republican affairs, he told the press agents. “For the movie to do anything but remain on a strictly neutral basis during a national election would be ruinous,” the mayor de- clared.
