Not a man has gone back *t6 work—on the contrary they are stronger than before in their deter- mination to win the strike and get srorganized. Although six men have been held by the immigration authorities, on the charge of illegal entry into the country, this has not frightened the strikers, all of whom are foreign- born, mostly Greeks, Italians, Ru- manians, Spaniards, Arabs, etc. The men have been fooled so much by the Central Alloy Steel that they see that a fight must be made if they are not to be reduced far below even a living standard. Press Lies. Mr. Fairless, manager of the Mas- sillon plant, came to Canton some time ago with the intention of per- suading the men to go back to work. According to the local press, whicly published this account as the only) document of the strike, 200 of the| men have gone back to work, and the others are returning. This is a bare- faced lie, for not a single man has gone back. On the contrary, the strike com- mittee told Fairless clearly that his promise of 55 cents a day and the bonus, which is supposed to net them $6 to $7 a day, is bunk. When| they figured out for him that $6 a| day is what they want—a flat rate and no bonus, he replied that that cannot be done, for there is a uni-| versal scale, established by the steel manufacturers. When they told him further that he would have to deal, with the Mill Committee, he waved them off entirely. Hold Massillon Meet. A meeting was held in Massillon, which is only about eight miles from Canton, for the purpose of acquaint- ing the chippers and grinders there with the s' ion in Canton. A good part of them signed up, and it is! only a matter of days when the Mas- sillon chippers and grinders will be out. The other departments in Canton into Photo shows a view of the huge Amoskeag mills at Manchester, N. H., where thousands of textile workers are idle as a result of the mill being almost entirely closed down. Workers here have formed a Textile Mill Committee.

(By a Worker Correspondent) MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 27.— Yesterday’s session of Judge Gus tax Gehrz’s Court was the scene of a bitter attack against the Commu- rists in which the Adler Co., repre- sentative attorney Lamfrom, the representative of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers’ Union, the cialist” lawyer Wm. F. Quick and the Amalgamated Union bureau- eracy represented by G. Piepenhagen and the injunction Judge Gehrz joined hands. The session of the court was de- voted to the hearing of the case of | the burning of suits manufactured in one of the Adler Co. scab shops | several weeks ago for which the| company blamed the union. Durinz | the hearing without any connection | with the case whatsoever, circulars were introduced which were attrib- uted by the above mentioned indi- viduals to Communists. The leaf- lets in question contained criticism of the union bureaucracy for their| class-collaboration policy and failure | to conduct mass picketing in viola-| tion of the court injunction. It also exposed the “fairness” of the judge whose injunction is helping the Ad- ler Co. to fill its shops with scabs. The Amalgamated Union official- dom and the socialists of this city have hailed the decision of the judge as fair at the time it was rendered. This criticism was represented as an attack upon the entire union al- though it was directed only against its leadershin. The object’ of this attack upon the Communists I liquidation of the strike upon con- ditions unfavorable to the strikers. The Workers’ (Communist) Party of America does not need to defend itself against the slander that it is attacking the strikers. Our Party, which stood loyally by the miners in their struggles, by the clothing workers and which is loyally sup- porting the struggles of the textile strikers, has given sufficient proof of its loyalty to those who fight against capitalist exploitation. The Workers’ Party in Milwaukee is loyally supporting the struggle of the Adler Strikers and is doing its duty in exposing the reactionary of- ficialdom and its failure to conduct this strike militantly. We stand for mass picketing and are opposed to policy of individual terror and sab- otage as ineffective in the struggle for the winning of the strike. Only by mobilizing all the strikers for mass picketing to break the court injunction and to prevent the scabs from entering the shops will the struggle be won. This mobiliza- tion cannot be effected by the reac- tionary leadershin of the Amalga- (1) To create the impression that such acts as the burning up of the suits, ete, (2) To antagonize the striking clothing workers against the Work-| ers’ (Communist) Party of America. | (3) To pave the way for the get- ting together of the union official-| dom with the scab company for the which would put the charge on legal grounds, thus enabling them to con- viet the prisoners. Our women comrades were not) Pay for Raffles (By «a Worker Correspondent) | | Here is a neat little scheme prac- \ticed against the workers in the) Heidelberg and Wolf Shop of men’s | clothing at 65 Bleeker St. Since! |1922, when the Amalgamated knife) and blackjack picket committees | lost the strike, the shop has been} unorganized, and Mr. Hilman has/ | never made an attempt to reorganize the shop. The shop is on piece-work basis, | of course, and as soon as the work-| ers speed up sufficiently to make more than $25, the rate is reduced, | land so it goes in this witches’ cal- | dron. | But here is’ the funny scheme which my father who works in the jshop told me. The workers are |forced to buy suits and overcoats |from the shop whether they need them or not, and in this way the |shop gets back one fourth of the wages it pays them. It might not be so bad if the suits were sold at shop prices, for after all, workers must dress, but the same suits can be bought much cheaper in the stores than the prices the workers are | forced to pay in the shop, and the suits are usually damaged goods which cannot be sold otherwise. I know workers who have to buy these suits in the shop and then sell them for half price outside to get back a few dollars which they need to pay} rent or buy bread for their families. And here is another little scheme, a refinement in graft and efficiency. When all the workers in the shop have been stocked up with suits which they do not need, the suits | which are left over are raffled off to the same workers again. Workers are forced to pay a dollar a week for raffles, and those who refuse are fired immediately. Suits which |have a value of $15 are in this way raffled off for $50. | I do not know whether this little) \graft goes into the coffers of the| | Heidelberg and Wolfe Co., one of | ‘the biggest in the trade, or if it is/ divided between the foremen and | management for pin money for their |wives and sweethearts.
