Colony; Cannot Run Government Without Morrow British “Left” Labor |bed by Maxton Makes oncelos Vanished, Pessibly Gathering | | No Fight for Jobless LONDON, Nov. 26.—The feeble gestures of an expiring and fake “left” opposition in the “Labor” Party fizzled out last night when James Maxton, who had previously | rounded up 82 laborites to sign an! objection to -the MaeDonald’s pro- | posed Unemployment Relief Bill, lost most of the signers when the bill actually was presented, and ap- parently interest himself, if he ever had any.

Increasing numbers are going back to their old homes, realizing that they are victims of deception. Ger- many would not give them transit visas until Canada granted them en- trance, and Canada, delaying do so, they became very miserable waiting in make-shift quarters at Moscow. The Soviet Government is giving the returning peasants their old farms and the property which they sold before leaving. The govern- ment is also granting them special | privileges to enable these peasants | }to make up for the months they lost. * A Campaign of Lies, The American capitalist papers have done their best to create the impression that these peasants, Mennonites, have been and are be- ing ill treated by the Soviet gov- ‘nment. Particularly, a paid liar of the capitalist press, one Knicker- bocker, has from Berlin, the cen- ter of anti-Soviet propaganda on this issue, been’ lying brazenly. Tuesday’s capitalist papers, for ex- ample, carrying one of this crea- ture’s lies to the effect that the So- * * German peasants to death, ete. As a matter of fact, the Mennon- i mies of the Soviet Union ‘abroad, who desired to have something to counteract the undoubted success of ants are the victims of this con- spiracy.

So here goes.” Workers, that’s the sort of working class solidarity thats going to hasten the overthrow of the capitalist system, It’s the spirit that will spur on the southern mill workers in their struggles under the leadership of the National Textile Workers’ Union, It’s the answer that all militant workers and working class groups must make to the appeals of the southern mill workers that the Daily Worker be rushed to them, Daily Worker, + * * 26 Union Square, New York City, We militant workers have got to make every possible sacrifice to show our solidarity with the southern mill workers.

U, U. L. members in the old unions, is to demand real solidarity with the locked out millinery work- ers, and particularly rank and file control of the fund assembled by Battle Stars. The T. U. U. L. national board lays down as a policy for all mem- bers in the New York and Boston to the fake stoppage. The Needle Trades Workers’ Industrial Union must militantly attack the employ- ers, without waiting for the right wing fake strike, and by a continu- ous strike action wherever it is needed, force the employers to live up to their contracts, and to grant union conditions and wages where contracts have not been obtained, There will be a sharp struggle, be- fore, during and after the right wing fake stoppage. The N. T. W. I. U. must lead the mil'sant New York workers, veterans of many and bit- ter struggles, to win everywhere the workers’ demands. The T, U. U.
