Imperialist Joint Action. The pact provides, first, for a joint policy towards the Soviet Union on all points in~the interna- tional situation. The pact further! provides for a common policy in the Balkans in order to weaken the Ital- ian influence there; a compromise on naval armaments which is caleu- lated to provide the most efficient fleets for both powers. War Alliance, The pact further provides for full cooperation in the case of war, as was originally reported. There is to be full cooperation in the devel- opment of aviation, as is evidenced in the recent plane maneuvers over| Paris which were attended by lead- ing British military officers. An agreement on land armaments is also incorporated, which, dom in the development of her land forces.

Y., Sept. 20,— | Rochester, will show a very differ- Tent atuiieriowerd Robert Minor, | candidate for United States senator | from New York State on the Work- ers (Communist) Party ticket, when he speaks here tomorrow at the eggs Lyceum, 580 St. Paul Street, | than it had the last time he was | here several years ago. This will | be due to the intensive work that {has been done here by the Roches- |ter section of the Workers (Com- munist) Party. Rochester workers have not been satisfied merely to devote them- selves to routine propaganda, but they have been very active in sev- eral large plants located here. The Eastman Kodak plant is the most important point for attack. Here a shop paper has been dis- tributed for many months. In this paper letters are printed every month showing the eagerness with which’ the paper is read, and the | great desire for a union. Workers are coming to understand that the {Communists are the only ones who ‘really want them to organize. In every’ issue of the Kodak Worker, issued in the name of the Eastman Kodak Nucleus of the Workers Party, noon-day meetings held each Friday at the Lewistown gate are announced. Speaking at one of these meetings on the sub- | ject of the election campaign of the Workers (Communist) Party, I was very impressed by the behavior of the audience. ’ They gathered many minutes be- fore the meeting was opened, some approaching very directly to the scene of the platform, others drift- ing up casually as tho they had no particular’ interest in what was ‘about to happen. But before the meeting opened, an audience of about two hundred had assembled, and more were com- ing. By the end of the meeting, timed to allow them to return to work without missing the end of our remarks, over five hundred had gathered. Minor’s audience will be repre- sentative of George Eastman’s slaves as well as those of the North- east Electric, Bausch and Lomb, and | many other large plants. And | among these workers the Rochester section will continue its agitation. 4 1,000,000 Articles BIG > NIGHTS EVERYTHING FROM A THREAD TO A SET OF FURNITURE at ¥ Price BIG NIGHTS Daily S22 Worker FREIHEIT BAZAAR THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY O Madison Square Garden CTOBER 5TH 6TH 4TH | rae ae BIG DAYS DO NOT BUY NOW, WAIT TILL THE BAZAAR BIG DAYS
