DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JULY TEXTILE HANDS AKERS CHARTER To Join N.T.W.U.; for New Union Center (Continued from Page One) clares that it will be the task of the Second Metropolitan Area Confer- @ace to mobilize broad masses for the struggle against the imperialist war preparations, in defense of the Soviet Union, to defend the Gastonia frame-up victims, to organize the unorganized, to fight against the A. F. of L. bureaucracy, social- democrats, and the Muste group misleaders of labor. “We are now entering of sharpened struggles,” ays. ) War Imminent. “It must be understood by every “worker that the offensive of the bosses against the workers is also a phase for the preparations for new capitalist wars—against the workers and farmers of Soviet Russia, and also between the capi- talist powers themselves, especially between the United States financial interests and British financial in- terests. In fighting against the at- tacks of the bosses on the living standards—the wages, hours and conditions of the workers, every | worker must also consciously link this up with the struggle against the present preparations of the bosses for new imperialist wars. The international solidarity of the workers is necessary; international trade union unity must be our aim.” The basis of delegations are as follows: From local unions.—One delegate and one additional delegate for every 100 members. From local groups of T.U.E.L— One delegate for each 25 members. From shop committees in organ- ized and unorganized shops.—QOne delegate each. From Joint Boards.—Four dele- gates.

Oke Police Raid in Prague. | (Wireless By “Inprecorr”) PRAGUE, Czecho-Slovakia, July 26.—Continuing their efforts to hin-|!mist war tactics and aims of Inter- der the great workers’ demonstra- tions arranged for August 1 for the defense of the Soviet Union and against imperialist war the police yesterday raided the Communist Party secretariat and arrested everybody except the deputies, Haken and Stern. The typists and the whole office staff were jailed. Stern protested at police headquar- ters. The police claimed that the search gave them evidence of illegal circulars and shop papers. The po- lice hope in this way to suppress the Communist movement. The workers are in a great mass protest movement against police violence. | Atrocities in Manchuria. |_ MOSCOW, U.S. S. R., July 26.— |Increased vigor of workers, pea- |demonstrations against the Chinese war lords resulted all over the So- viet Union as soon as news spread of atrocities committed by the Chang Hsueh-liang government against the Soviet employees on the Chinese Eastern Railroad, who have been on strike soon after the road was seized by the imperialist puppets in Man- churia. Chinese workers who struck along | with the Soviet Union workers on |that road are also threatened, ar- jxested, beaten and tortured. The thousands of resolutions from jshop meetings, village meetings, | garrison and ship committees ex- |press the utmost determination to teach the White Guard raiders who have at several times crossed the erian border with the help of Chinese militarist officials a severe |lesson, and to stop with whatever means are found necessary, the | persecution of Soviet Union citizens in Manchuria. The workers, pea- sants ond Red Army members of the U.S. S. R. are anxious for peace, | but make it clear that their anxiety does not extend to the point where |they are willing to stand for any- | hing, and is not based on weakness. a & WASHINGTON, July 26.—Secre- | tary of State Stimson yesterday was |in conference on the Manchurian sit- |uation with the ambassadors of | Japan, England, France and Italy, with the charge d'affaires of Ger- many called in, and Matthew Woll, | vice-president and chief Communist jhater of the American Federation of Labor simultaneously in a meet- ing with President Hoover. The diplomats would not state the son, but Woll on coming out of the Hoover meeting issued one of his characteristic diatribes against “the Reds” and stated that “it is hoped tha during the arbitration of the Chinese-Russian affair, much evi- dence ci the Russian’s spreading subversive propaganda may become known.” ‘Arbitration a Trick. It is considered here that Woll has betrayed one of the plans of the im- perialist powers, which may be to arbitrate if possible, so they can use the proceedings for a grand dis- Play of forged documents, new Zino- vieff letters,” and other forms of anti-Soviet propaganda. On the same day. the transporta- tion division, department of com- ;merce, made public to manufac- turers and shippers detailed and careful instructions as to the proper |packing and instructive muterial to |be included, when shipping aero- | planes to China.
