ages WORKERS IN NEW JERSEY PLAN FOR BIG. CONVENTION Vill Ratify Communist Program In response to a call issued by ? the New Jersey Campaign Commit- tee of the Workers (Communist) Party, New Jersey labor organiza- “c-3 and workers’ fraternal clubs. are electing delegates to represent them at the ratification convention of the Workers (Communist) Party, which will be held on Sunday, Au- » cust 5, at 10 a. m., at the Workers Progressive Center, 93 Mercer St., Newark, N. J. In its convention call, the New Jersey Campaign Committee lays specie emphasis on the importance of the coming election to New Jer- fey workers. The call points out that New Jersey, the home of big corporations and special interests, notorious for its anti-labor record, is, ruled by the democratic machine ( frough Mayor Hague and hy <i. 1 publican machine through L. 93 Stnator Edge, the corporation lw- yer. Calls Upon Workers Calling upon all workers to sur- port the program of the Workers (Communist) Party, the Campaign Committee emphasizes the fact that the two major capitalist parties are functioning more and more openly 4s agents of Big Business. The role played by these parties in the every- day lives of workers is evidenced «by the number of injunctions issued against workers on strike and the Practices of police brutality against such workers, as in the Passaic tex- tile strike. The convention call reminds New Jersey workers of the practice of killing labor bills in their legisla- ture, and goes on to stress the fact that despite constantly rising un- ployment no relief has been given the unemployed. 65 JAILED MILL -—PIRKETS BAILED Great T.

A battered automobile, discarded by its original owner, may yet be seen occupying a place of honor in an historical revolutionary museum, when the workers and farmers of the United States supplant the present capitalist government with one of their own.

Pearlman and Burke had covered fourteen counties on both sides of the Hudsofy"from Yonkers to Sara- toga Springs and from Saratoga Springs to Haverstraw, and during | | the course of their labor they ran | into scenes of poverty and destitu- | tion that would equal anything wit- | nessed in the slums of London or | Paris. | | In most of these small towns there {is little if any industry, and the| population depends on the summer | hotel trade for existence. If the summer trade is brisk, they are able | to exist during the winter months | on what they manage to save.

In a manifesto issued yesterday by the Mexican Communist Party, a virtual, though qualified pledge of support was given the Calles government against the forces of clericalism and other reaction which are secking to unite against the militants and the labor movement whose support Calles is now forced seek. The National Peasants’ League, composed of landless and poor peasants in a manifesto similar to that of the Communist Party, definitely pledged its support to Calles and called upon the workers and peasants to unite against the Catholic reaction. Both manifestoes were at one in pointing to the dan- ger from the reactionary agrarian and Catholic leaders and called also for an international bloe of South, Central and North American masses against imperialism. to (UP).—Miss Mercedes Gleitze, Lon- don stenographer, abandoned at about 5 p. m. today an attempt to swim the Irish Sea to Great Britain.
