WAGE-CUT AND MORE SPEED-UP Vicious Third Degree Methods Used in Rehir- _ing Workers Everett Norfolk M Mill Closes in Lebanon Firing Over 300 (By a Worker Correspondent) ENFIELD, N. H.—The Baltic Mills of this town, owned by the American Woolen Co., ringleader of the textile operators who put hte 10 per cent wage cut into effcct in Lawrence, Mass., have reopened their doors which have been closed for four years with a 25 per cent reduction in wages and an ex- tension of working hours from 48 to 54. The company, which is notorious for its hardboiled attitude towards labor and which refused to open its books to the Massachusetts state investigators in Lawrence, has succeeded in inducing the loca} tax assessors to reduce their assess- ment to a rediculously low figures, thus making the way for greater orofits. It is reported that the applicants for jobs are questioned strictly regarding present and former union affiliations and if it is found that the workers are now or ever have been, union members the mill man- agemens refuses to employ them. Old looms are being scrapped and it is reported that a hundred new automatic are being installed and one weaver must operate four looms. A vicious speed-up throughout the mill is anticipated. Much of the work is ceming from Assabet Mill at May- mard, Mass. a mill owned by the same company which was closed be- cause the workers refused to do the scab work which the American Wooler Mill sent from the Lawrence strike area: One result of the absurd reduction in property valuation granted to this by the local assessors will be a rise in either the property val- vation or taxes on other property in this town owned by small home owners and farmers. This is a matter that many local citizens are not con- when they rejoiccd at the reopening of the industry. non Mill Closes ve been posted upon the Norfolk Co. manufac- ‘ayou and cotton knit un- SP Penes? ax S tightening ing o21 Msnehurie.

To meet the bosses’ plots for imperialist slaughter the masses will include in their demand that all war funds be used for the unemployed. Wage-cuts, starvation, cold, police terror war threats, are sharpening the desire of the masses for a well or- ganized leadership that will lead their fight against the bosses, who, they are learning, are directly responsible for all this misery. Through the employed councils and the hun- wr marches the masses are learning about the leadership of the Commu- nist Party. ‘The increasing misery brought by (ne winter is also sharpening the de- @re of the masses for a newspaper that will be their own paper, a real workers’ paper, different from the boss papers whose lies have been exposed by the bosses’ wage-cut and starvation campaign. The masses are turning to the Daily Worker to clarify the issues for them, to pierce through the confused veil of poisonous prop- aganda and show ihem the connec- tion between wage-cuts, the war in Manchuria, the bosses’ secret war — derwear and jersey fab: s, that the mill will close for general operation Dec. 1. A few employes will be re~ tained for a short period of time to enable the management to clear out existing stocks of raw and finished materials, The Everett Norroik Company is controlled by William Iselin & Com- pany of New York City who operate other mills of similar nature through- out the country. It is rumored that those orders which should have been made up in the local plant, are being transferred to their Elmira, N, Y, mill. The Everett Norfolk Company, al- ways notorious for their low wages and sweatshop working conditions, slashed wages ten per cent about a year ago and since that time those |employes who have had work, haye been working two to four days week under the stagger system. a The mill management claims that the shutdwn which is for an indef- inite period, is due to lack of orders and claims that the mill will not be reopened until the present depression has radically changed for the better. No effort is being made to provide for the transfer of old employes to cther mills under company control. Thus the bosses edd another three hundred or more recruits to the al- ready swollen forces of the unem- ployed.

Upon his visit to Snowhill, accom~- panied by two white members of the T.L.D., to file a petition for achange venue for Jones, Ades and his com- 'panions were attacked by the lynch mobs and threatened by Judge Bailey and the sheriffs. The leaders of this mob, which included Mayor Byrd of Snowhill, are well known, but again no action has been taken against them. Helen Mays, one of the two workers who accompanied Ades to Snowhill, was arrested be- cause she was ready to protect her- self when the governor and Judge Bailey refused them protection: She was charged with carrying concealed peapens: ‘This charge has not been ney for protection of his client. The boss court and the state’s attorney are opposing a change of venue for Jones. Worcester mobs era expec- tantly awaiting a legal lynching.

A Peiping dispatch re- porting a Japanese plan to use White Guards to seize the Chinese Eastern Railway received further confirma- tion from Tsitsihar. The London Mail on Wednesday published the Tsitsihar dispatch which declares that the Japanese intend to seize the city of Harbin, th central depot of the Chinese Eastern Railway, which is jointly owned by China and the Soviet Union. The London Mail article is given in the following dis- | patch to the New York Times: published the Tsitsihar dispatch declared that the Japanese intend to seize the city of Harbin, the central depot of the Chinese Eastern Rail- , Which is jointly owned by China and the Soviet Union. The London Mail article is given in the following dispatch to the New York Times: “The London Mail today printed a dispatch from Tsitsihar, Man- churia, saying that small parties of Japanese troops had been going to Harbin during the last few days and that it was expected the Japan- ese would take over the city soon.” Further reports that Japan was negotiating an anti-Soviet deal with the Chinese General Ma Chen-shan were printed in yesterday's capitalist papers. The Japanese have offered to make Gen. Ma the ruler of North Manchuria, under Japanese influence, in the attempts to set up a hostile so-called “buffer” state on the Soviet frontier. The secret negotiations with Ma are also directed toward im- mediate hostile action against the Soviet Union in connection with the planned seizure of the Chinese East- ern Railway. “U. S. Backs Japan ” United States support of the Jap- anese seizure of Manchuria as a mil- itary base against the Chinese re- volutionary movement and for war on the Soviet Union has been several times exposed by the Daily Worker. It has been admitted in several dis- patches from Paris and Washington yesterday. The New York Daily News carried the scream headline: “U, S. Backs Japan In Occupa- tion Of Manchuria:” A Washington dispatch to the same paper states: “The effect of the (League Coun- cil) proposal is that the United States and the twelve neutral mem- bers of the League are in accord in believing that withdrawal of troops from Manchuria upon a specific date is not practicable.” The proposal referred to calls for a commission to investigate China. It was offered by Japan, and sup- ported by General Dawes. It has been reported that the commission will consist of three—a French mil- itary officer, a British statesman and an American business man. The re- solution, instead of being directed against the Japanese invaders, is in essence an ultimatum to the Chinese to submit to the rape and division of China. Dawes In Supporting Statement A Paris dispatch reports that Gen- eral Dawes has issued the following statement: “The United States Government approves the general plan of set- tlement embodied in the proposed resolution of the Council and has so informed both China and Japan. It has urged upon them acquies- cence in the general plan embodied in the proposed resolution.” The same dispatch reports that the League Council is exerting pressure upon the Nanking delegates to ac-~ cept the resolution. It interprets Dawes’ statement as also in this di- rection: “Informed quarters left no doubt that the chief purpose of this re- sort to the printed word was to marshal public opinion and make clear to Nanking it had better ac- cept the resolution as the best it could get, at least as far as the great powers are concerned.” Nanking Fears Overthrow By Masses In the face of the rising anger of the Chinese masses against tie im- perialists and their Kuomintang tools the Nanking delegates hesitate to accept the resolution. ‘They have warned thir imperialist masters that the Nanking gc\ernment would be overthrown if ii accepted the reso-~ must rally to the defense of the Ne- gro masses!

The ployed movement and has been able to organize from 230,000 to 250,000 of the unemployed in Unemployed Coun- cils, Jution, The United States has moved to bludge on the Nanking delegates into accepting the resolution. A Wash- ington dispstch to the New York Times states* “Should the resolution fail, there is ample reason for believing that all diplomatic negotiations will be dropped. It was stated todsy that officials entrusted with the con- duct of American foreign relations tried not to handle lost causes too long.” The same dispatch reports: “In the drafting of the resolu- tion the United States has taken wn influential part, and there is no doubt if this country is invited to be represented on the commission of investigation, it will accept.” Chinese Students Demand War On Japan Chinese students by the thousands continue to pour into Nanking to demand that the Nanking govern- ment abandon its policy of non-re- sistance and support to the Japanese seizure of Manchuria. 2,000 Shanghai students arrived yesterday, mostly in uniform. Among them were 300 girls. A Shanghai dispatch to the New York Times reports: “All of them urged the govern- ment to declare war against Japan and asked to be included among the government troops sent to the front, 8,000 Demonstrate In Shanghai In spite of the special law passed by the Kuomintang traitors prohibit- ing any anti-Japanese agitation, more than 8,000 students demonstrated in Shanghai yesterday, demanding war against the imperialists. A Shanghai dispatch reports: “Thousands of Chinese students were on the way to Nanking by rail tonight to demand that the Nationalist Government declare war on Japan, fs “More than 8,000 of them rioted in the vicinity of the railway sta- tion here, delayed railway traffic and wrecked the station master’s office to enforce their demand that they have five trains in which to go to the capital. They were said to have been joined by 5,000 stud- ents at intervening points. “They are expected to address appeals to President Chiang Kai- shek calling for a war declaration, withdrawal from the League of Na- tiens and executing of Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang for what they term his failure to resist the in- vasion of Manchuria.” Soviet Press Scores Imperialists The Soviet press continues to ex- pose the provocative actions of the Japanese. Walter Duranty's Moscow dispatch in yesterday's New York Times reports Pravda as saying: “Between the members of the League there is no disazreement about the attempt to sick Japen onto the Soviet Unien, and vice- versa. In this criminally provoc- ative game, the American .and French bourgeoisie are playing a particularly foul role. Washington and Paris are the centres of this provocative campaign.” Pravda sees the League in an at- tempt to crush the Chinese Soviets and the rapidly growing revolution- ary movement throughout China. In this connection, Duranty reports Pravda as pointing out that this “might be done under the auspices of the League in the hope of restoring what shattered prestige of that valu- able—to the powers in question—body which might buy Nanking’s consent by a loan Nanking is understood to be seeking.” Within the agreement for the dis- memberment of China and war on the Soviet Union, imperialistic con- flicts of interests again flared up yes- terday. The British, while in unity with the Wall Street government and France in supporting the Japanese seizure of Manchuria and the provoc- ation against the Soviet Union, yes- terday protested volubly against the Japanese plans to seize Chinchow, on the Peiping-Mukden railway, which is controlled by the British. British troops are reported proceeding to Correspondence Briefs ANOTHER BANK CRASH FRANKVILLE, Pa—The People's Trust Co. closed its doors here, thus cleaning out the savings of many workers coenk f= BOSS RELIEF; 30 CENTS A WEEK CHICAGO, Ill—At the edish ses claim to give relief amounting to 63 cents to those who, apply. The strength to wait long enough and go| through the red tape amounts to about 30 cents worth of groceries. they must live a week on these gro- ceries. Ed. are sending their the, British own forces. A Tokyo dispatch reports that as @ result of the British protest, the Japanese imperialists have given “a virtual pledge” to abandon their plans to attack Chinchow. This does not mean that the Japanese will not push their war on the Chinese masses into Central China, with the aim of crush- ing the Chinese Soviets and the Chinese Red Army. In this, they will have the cooperation of the British as well as United States and French imperialisms. The British are merely intent on protecting their own plund- er against the rival imperialist group of the United States, Japan and France. A further indication of growing British uneasiness over the possibil- ity of being excluded in the redivi- sion of China is shown in the rally- ing by Britain of several of the small- er powers in opposition to the League Council’s latest resolution which practically endorses the seizure of Manchuria. A Paris dispatch to the New York Times reports: British Organize Bloc In Council “The small powers in the Coun- cil—with none of whom Ambassa- dor Dawes has offered to confer— rather upset this plan,” The dis- patch further reports: “In all this they (the small pow- ers) had been receiving the benevo- lent support of the old League pil- lar, Lord Cecil, who is officially re- presenting Britain im the absence of Sir John Simon, Foreign Sec- retary.” Secial Fascists Support Imperialists The British social fascists who have not raised a whisper in protest against the rape of China and the slaughter of Chinese workers and peasants are supporting British im- perialism in its present manouvers against its imperialist rivals. George Lansbury, a leader of the discredited British Labor Party, is reported to have made “a vigorous anti-Japaness declaration” in the House of Com- mons Wednesday night. When, how- ever, Sir John Simon suggested it would be inadvisable to debate the Manchurian question, Lansbury then “requested other members of his par- ty to refrain from discussion and thanked the Foreign Minister in rep!

The name of the firm is always listed. But this does not mislead the workers into believing that the company is being generous. They know better. At the American Tin Plate workers here, every worker, regardless whether he works one or two days a week, was forced to pay $20 to the fund. Where the pay amounted to that, it was sim- ply taken by the company’s office, and the worker was sent home empty handed, to starve. Westinghouse is subtracting one per cent of each month’s pay from} every worker. The Blawnox Steel| plant demands (and sees that it get's |it through very direct action!) three full days pay. And many workers here are making less than that in two wee!

Repeat M’Donald Act In Australia NEW YORK.—The Labor Govern- ment of Australia, headed by Prime | Minister J. H. Scullin, is preparing to do in Australia what McDonald did in England namely, to build-up |an anti-working class government | under a “Nationalist” front. The Scullin Labor Government was de- |feated in the Commonwealth Parlia- | ment by a vote of 37 to 32. A general election is being called | for December 19, and Scullin will take a fight against the unemployed “Bolshevism.” A whole series of strikes have been developing in Australia against wage cuts. Unemployment is growing and along with starvation of the masses Scullin has been helping the bosses cut down unemployment relief, just as McDonald did in England. Among the workers there is a grow= ing mood of struggle. This is shown in the recent mine and rail strike in the state of Queensland. It is more’ ngly shown in the request of the Australian railroad unions for for admission into the Red Internae tional of Labor Unions. telling the empl ment to pay Washing on UNION the of Struggle for Negro Rights 000 New Readers SUBSCRIBE! bundles over 200 New York %¥% |
