British Strikers D: LONDON (Jan. 8, by Inprecorr Mail Service)—The striking wool workers of the Lund factory in Bradford have appealed to all other wool workers to extend the struggle and support the strike. The reform- isobey Reformists ist trade ‘union officials oppose this action of the Lund strikers, but for the first time the workers have de- fied the trade union leaders and fol- lowed slogans of the Communist Party. The strikes in Saddleworth and Pudsey are still proceeding. Arch-Reactionist Heads French Military PARIS (Jan. 7, by Inprecorr Mail Service)—General Weygand has now been appointed Chief of the French General Staff. Weygand is the man who directed the Polish campaign against Soviet Russia in 1920 which, after preliminary successes, turned into a rout and almost ended in the ti of Warsaw. Weygand was also e head of the Frensh military mis- sion to Teheckoslovakia and did his best to organize the so-called cor- don sanitaire against the Soviet Union. And in France’ Weygand is the representative of the blackest | and most brutal reaction.. He is also a clerical obscuranist of the worse type who-is in favor of crushing any fotm of progress. He has provoked the French work- jers in countless speeches, and not |long ago he declared in Billancourt, \“I have very definite opinions of jhow Communism should be dealt j with.” His hearers knew what he | who has one solution for all social | problems—a brick wall and a firing | party. And this‘is the man who has been chosen by the French bourgeoisie to occupy the highest military ‘post in preparation for the coming strug- gles. They know that they can rely on Weygand to go to the limit either in slaughtering the French. workers or provoking war against the Soviet Union, and that is just the type of man they need at the moment. Czecho-Slovak Stri' PRAGUE ..(Jan. by Inrecorr Mail Service)—Th. ass workers in Einsiedl are now in the seventh week of their strike against a 40 per cent, wage reduction and ration- alization measures. The employers and the social fascists have done heir utmost to break the strike and sganize strike-breaking, but with- at success. The shoeworkers in Prague-Smi- chov are now in the fourth week of their strike. The demands of the management have been unanimously kes Are Persistent rejected by the strikers on a number of occasions. The leather workers in Pilsen and the textile workers in Warnsdorf and Theresiental are also still on strike. A spontaneous strike of the lum- bermen in Skalitche in Slovakia has broken out. The strike is against wage reductions and against the at- tempt of the employers to deprive the workers of the wood chips. The strikers have elected a Strike Com- mittee. . Reformists “Correct” 0: me Betrayal by Another PRAGUE (By Inprecorr Mail Service)—Under the pressure of the masses the reformist leaders of the Textile Workers’ Union were com- pelled to give notice to end the’wage section of the collective agreement for eastern Bohemia. The textile employers then made it a condition of further negotiations that the re- formists should agree to. alterations in the agreement as a whole and not only of the wages section. The reformists agreed to this without consulting the workers, who are in- \dignant at this’ action and deter- |mined to fight against any attempt of the employers to worsen the col- ‘lective agreement. Civil War Veteran; Others Slugged at Katovis Demonstration utality continue to be told by forkers at the City Hall demonstra- tion. New York capitalist papers Sunday spoke of a mysterious pool of blood in front of the hall of rec- ords. Yesterday D. Ushida, a Jap- anese worker, having some Com- munist work to do, telephoned his excuses because he was too ill yet from the beating he got from Whal- en’s cossaks. Inquiry showed that the blood in front of New York’s hall of records was from Ushida. He was driven in a corner, surround- ed by 15 police, who blackjacked him, then kicked at him and howled: “Get up,you —— ——” Every time he arose he was clubbed down again.
