That is why many thousands of workers will this year actively support the cam- paign of the Workers (Communist) Party who have remained apathetic in previous campaigns.” While collection lists will be seen! in every part of New York where workers live or meet all week, and thousands of pencils will write thou- sands of names on those lists along with thousands of contributions to the Communist Campaign Fund, the| bulk of the money expected will re-| sult from the two Red Tag Days of | August 25th and 26th.

When Toral was taken to the nun’s home shortly after the crime the first question he asked was: “Mother, are you ready to die with me?” The nun did not deny that she was the “intellectual author” of the crime and reconfirmed her opinion that the religious problem in Mexico could only be settled by the death of Obregon and C 5 Leon Toral, assassin of Obregon, in a statement made from prison says that he is pained that the pope should reprove him for his noble deed and hopes that he will not be excommunicated from the Catholi¢ Church. FISHERS STRIKE IN NEW BEDFORD NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Aug. 16.—Inspired to resistance against the lowering of working standards by the heroic 18 week old strike of 28,000 textile workers, more than 250 unorganized fishermen aban- doned the boats of the fishing fleet after employers announced a wage reduction. The bosses attempted to reduce wages of the fishermen ten dollars less each trip, this cut meaning about $250 a year as 25 trips are generally made each year. Though never organized, the ex- ample of struggle shown by the tex- tile workers, contributed largely to the fishermen’s ‘mmediate answer of “Strike.” William Brown, secretary of the Fishermens’ Union is expected here today.

Unable to prosecute them with a shadow of legitimacy, the authori- ties have been forced to relinquish | two of the strikers detained. The | remaining four, having passports, expect to be released within the next few days. | The cases of four men arrested | “on suspicion” have been continued. Attempts of the special steel guard to terrorie the pickets with guns awd powerful lights blazing at | night at every entrance to the mills have completely failed to affect the morale of the men, Solidarity of all workers with the strikers in Canton was exemplified in the miners’ relief meeting at- tended by 2,000 men and women in Nimisila Park, Tuesday night. Be- | sides his plea for the miners, I. | Amter, working class Jeader, urged the importance of carrying to a fistsh the struggle in which the men are now engaged with the steel | corporation, Amter declared that the surrender to the corporation mow means immediate reduction of ‘wages, not only in Canton, but thru- out the steel industry. His speech was enthusiastically received by the | workers, Strike leaflets were sold at the meeting and distributed on the pick- et line the following day. DISCUSS CHINA SITUATION. “Has the Chinese Revolution failed?” This is the topic of a talk to be given by Y. Y. Chow, student- worker who recently arrived from China, under the auspices of Unit 1, Section 4, Workers (Communist) Party of America. The meeting _ will be held to-morrow evening at 8 p.m. at 143 E. 103 St. No ad- made three hits and drove in two} runs himself. The Philadelphia. Phillies gathered 22 hits and beat the Cincinnati Reds, 13 to 4. The same uncertainty shrouds all |attempts to pierce the mystery of the present place of detention of John Porter. Normally, Porter would be expected to serve his sentence at the eastern branch of the United | States disciplinary barracks at Fort | Jay, Governor’s Island, New York. |It is long-term prisoners who are shipped to the main prison barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The papers in the Porter case, to- gether major general Brown’s re- quest that the facts be not given to the newspapers, are on file in the war department. Under army regu- lations the sentence of a court mar- | tial must be made in open court. | ae See YESTERDAY'S RESULTS National League.
