The attempt of the American Woolen Co. to open its Beaver Brook Mill here yesterday was a flat failure. The 400 strikers stand solid, and are tying up the order of the U. S. government for 150,000 army blankets. The strikers mass meeting yester- doy refused to let the United Textile Workers Union officials or the head of the chamber cf commerce speak or even enter their hall, The strik- ers unanimovsly reject breaking U. T. W. Yesterday a conference took place between a committee of the strikers and the company heads, at the call of the town selectmen. The strikers refused flatly to retreat from their demands for abolishing the last 37 and a helf per cent wage cuts, and | for withdrawal of the speed-up ef- ficiency experts.

Call for Solidarity. The N. T. W. U. is continuing its organization work among the strik- ers, warning that this attack on the Communists and on the militant Na- tional Textile Workers Union is a treacherous attempt of the leaders to lead the strikers against their best friends, The strikers see that tele- grams with relief donations are be- ginning to arrive from other Trade Union Unity League unions in New England. The National Textile Workers Union warns that the present policy of the strike leaders is tending to isolate and cripple the strike. The N. T. W. calls for-election of | a broader strike committee, and soli- darity with all militant workers.

CROWISM Bonus March to Raise | Negro Demands NEW YORK, Sept. 4. — Carrying out the decisions of the National Vet- erans Rank~and File Conference which was held in Cleveland Sept. 23-24-25, Post 2 of the Workers Ex- Servicemen's League will hold a spe- cial organizational meeting Thurs- day night at 8 p. m. to discuss the next steps in the preparations for the bonus march to Washington which is being organized by the National Veterans’ Rank and File Committee. “The WESL will conduct an inten- sive campaign among the thousands of Negro and white war veterans in Harlem,” said Emanuel Levin, na- tional chairman of the Workers ex- Servicemen’s League. — Levin pointed out that over 70,000 veterans are unemployed in New York and that both the republican and democratic state conventions have gone on record against the pay- ment of the veterans’ bonus. “Hoover said that the Negroes have not been forgotten, said Levin. “This is a lie. The Negro veterans are dis- criminated against and jim crowed in all parts of the United States. One of the most important demands to be raised in the march to Washington will be against discrimination of the Negro veterans.” The Workers Ex-Servicemen’s the country will raise demands for the immediate release of Willi Pet- erson, tuberculor war veteran framed up in Alabama, and for the freedom of the nine innocent Scottsboro boys. Hit Jim-Crowism, It was pointed out by Levin today that all manner of jim crowism would be ruthlessly dealt with by the rank and file committee which will lead the bonus march to Washington December 5, “Joseph Scheftel, a delegate to the veterans’ conference in Cleveland from New York, attempted to put through a jim crow policy and mobil- ize the veterans Against the special demands for Negro veterans which we raised,” said Levin. The rank and. objector and vigorously denounced him for his white chauvinistic tac- tics. “In our march to Washington in December we will raise.to the very forefront special demands for the Negro veterans.” Welcome Meeting for LL.D.

The District | Committee of the Young Communist | Scottsboro boys boys, announced yes- terday that, as part of the Scottsboro week, the Young Communist League, with the co-operation of working-class organizations, has called for a mass demonstration and a parade for the release of the Scottsboro boys, and of Sam Brown and. James Ford, two young Negro workers whom the bosses are trying to frame in New York. The mass demonstration and parade will be held today, starting at 6:30 p.m., at 120th Street and Lenox Avenue, in Harlem. Workers thruout the city are called on to take part. To Demonstrate At Judges Home The Young Communist League also | calls on all workers to demonstrate | Saturday, Oct. 15th, before the home of Judge Aurillio, who sentenced Brown to 6 months in prison in the most vicious manner. The demon. stration at Judge Aurilio’s home, which is located at 225 E. 12th St., will be held at noon. Sam Brown, a Young Communist League section organizer in Harlem, is held for hay- ing led a group of unemployed workers to the Home Relief Bureau to demand relief. Speakers at the Harlem demon- stration tonight will be Henry Shep- ard, Negro worker and Communist Party candidate for lieutenant gov- jernor of New York; Irving Herman, | district organizer of the Young Com- munist League in New York, and | Henry Rothman, International La- bor Defense youth organizer. Wil- liam Partin will be chairman, Terror Grows The importance of redoubling the fight for the Scottsboro boys is }again brought home by the new frame-up ‘attempts against Negro workers and by the increasing wave of terror against Néeroes, which is part of the plan of the ruling class to prevent an effective fight against starvation thru splitting the ranks of the workers. In Worcester, Mass., a Negro worker, J. Felton, is being held on ®% frame-up charge in corinection with the recent bombing of the home of Judge Thayer, one of the murder- ers of Sacco and Vanzetti. Felton is being held on a technical charge of vagrancy, with a frame-up for the bombing as the object. The bomb was planted so that no one would be hurt, showing the frame- up character of the whole thing. In recent days in the South, es- pecially in Florida, the ambushing of Negro firemen on the railroads has increased. In an attempt to create race division among the work- ers and thus halt the struggles of the unemployed, Negro and white, the bosses are encouraging the white un- employed workers to murderously shoot down Negro railroad workers, telling them that the Negroes are responsible for unemployment. October 8th, World Scottsboro Day, will see world wide demonstrations against the plan to legally lynch the Scottsboro boys. The great demon- strations in cities in Germany, France Latin America, the Soviet Union, as well as the U. S. A, indicate that the masses thruout the world are de- termined to bend every energy to stop the murder of the Scottsboro boys. Demonstrations will take place in all American cities, and in cities in all countries. 150 Hear Talk on U.S.S.R. in New Jersey ELIZABETH, N. J., Oct. 4—About | 150 were present at the first of a series of lectures arranged by the Friends of the Soviet Union Paul Miler, a prominent American engi- neer, spoke on “An American Engi- neer Looks Toward Soviet Russia.” Alfred Morris, district organizer of the F. 8. U.. gave a short talk in which he stressed the war danger, The meeting was held at the Eagle's House. Moore Speaks at several supervisors made a gesture by speaking in favor of receiving the committee of the hunger marchers, and even calling on Sheriff Traeger to provide committee with safe conduct. But when the city council refused last week to grant a permit for the hunger march, and thereby served no- tice of a police attack upon it, these same supervisors and all the others remained Very silent, The march was assembled at the call of the Unemployed Council and the Workers’ Ex-Servicemen’s League. In addition to relief for the jobless, it demanded the ‘supervisors go on record for payment of the veteran's bonus. Eleven workers were arrested by the police during the demonstration, and are held on unknown charges.
