Congress Against War and Fas- cism at Chicago the end of Septem- ber. After the return of delegates from the Paris Congress, the central Anti-War Committee of the Coun- cils met and planned activities such as.mass meets (on a section scale) where returned delegates from Paris reported: open air meets, and the issuing of special leaflets; sions in the Councils in prer for the Chicago Congress: r of the chairmen of tk War committees to plan a follov r of contacts with other organizations (made during the course of prepara- tion for the regional conference), and the penetration of new terri- tory. ‘The membership was mobilized for the Aug. 24 meeting. where the Paris delegation as a whole reported. Four sections have already carried through mass meeis and delegates to go to Chicago. delegates are: Mollie Picheny.

My sister, Annie Mae Leathers, is a striker at the Exposition Cotton Mill. She was arrested on the picket line before that mill. John Hudson has no right to try to keep her from the picket line.

Editor's Note.—The Daily Worker greets the firmness with which Comrades Young and Leathers turned down the “offer” of Prose- cutor Hudson, By rejecting such “offers” these comrades show the determination of the workers not to give up their fight for better condi- tions until the fight is won, These militant women workers give an in- spiring example of the courage of the Southern working class by their refusal to accept freedom from jail in return for quitting the strike. The Daily Worker also hails the fact that these women comrades | have, in the midst of their fight, kept in their minds the question of the fight for the release of Angelo Herndon and the Atlanta Six.

In the town of East- hampton, practically under martial law, actual barricades on the roads to prevent the strikers squadrons and the “reds” from entering, all the mills have been working; most of the workers unorganized, not knowing where they can find lead- erhip, have been asking for help from the Holyoke strikers. Today they got the real answer; the pres- sure of the Holyoke strikers on the leaders to call for the flying squad- ron forced them to take action, and Thursday a. m., 20 cars will take strikers to Easthampton to support the workers and close down the mills in this textile citadel 100 per cent. The workers in these towns and Chicopee Falls, home of Johnson & Johnson, are eating up the Daily, in spite of the vicious red-baiting attacks launched against the Com- munists. Wednesday, one of the organized attacks to stop the distribution of the Daily at the strike hall by a few strong-arm pals of Mr. Tom Roan, big-shot of the A. F. of L., probation officer, and, as he stated, “boss of this town and of the A. F, of L. here,” was unsuccessful, and the smooth-talking leader of \the S.

Although the squad tried to tear up the Dailys and beat up one comrade they didn’t get very far; the workers took the Dailies and a lot of resentment was expressed at these thugs actions. Mr. Donovan beat a hasty exist when asked what he was afraid of in the Daily Worker that he had to resort to such tactics; retired to the hall. Too many workers are reading the Dailies for his charges like “Com- munists are strike-breakers” to be very successful. For the workers want to win their strike and they are recognizing straight, plain truh about their situation which is impossible to find in any other paper or from any other e, The leaders have been calling on the strikers at their meetings all week to “chase out the reds,” and “make those people with the Daily Worker run the gauntlet,” the chief instigator being Tom Roan, who is very lavish with threats and not too clever, for the workers can think. He called for the police five times to arrest one comrade; today he said to the policeman: “If you don’t bring charges against these people I'll see that you lose your job,” and when we asked if he was boss of the town he gave the an- swer quoted above. We had another visit to the po- lice station and were “questioned.” The police in Holyoke call them- seives “labor men,” old A. F. of L. men linked with the bureaucrats. The union leaders hold confer- ences with the police and then tell the workers everything will be all right as long as they don’t do any- thing rough.

A MILL SLAVE. 300 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED NEW YORK.—Thre hundred vol- unteers are neeced for the Mecca Temple anti-wer rally Sept. 26, the American League Against War and Fascism announced yesterday. Ap- | ship drive on Oct. 1, The National |English Committee, in drawing up its plans for the campaign, became convinced that our national Or- | ganization Committee had under- estimated the possibilities for the | English Section in this huge drive. | Accordingly, the National English | Committee increased the quota as- \signed to it by the Organization | Committee by 500, raising it from | 2,000 to 2,500 member The spirit prevailing throughout | the entire section is that this drive is the occasion for the English Sec- | tion to make its first big stride toward becoming the basic section of our Order. In this drive we ex- pect to build the English Section into the second largest of the Or- der. This is a huge job, but it can |and will be done. The enthusiasm |and energy displayed in our Eng- \lish Section in every part of the |country, the readiness with which our branches are accepting and in | many instances (as in Branch 615 | of New York) increasing the quotas ‘assigned by the National English Committee, the readiness with which the membership {s mobilizing ‘ins every branch of the country, |united for the big task, guarantee our success. Mcthod Is Stressed We seek not only to increase our membership in this drive. The method of increasing our member- \ship is the mos: important consid- jeration. That is why our greatest efforts will be concentrated on the most important industrial sections |of the country. Special organizers | will spend five to ten weeks in New | York, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and other large cities. Special or- ganizers will concentrate their ef- forts on the Negro territories of Harlem and Crown Heights in New York, the South Side of Chicago as well as the Negro territories in other cities.

The English Section is getting ready to take its place in |the American fraternal movement, | to bring before the native American | workers the issue of proletarian fra- ternalism as oppesed to bourgecis fraternalism; to draw the American workers into the struggle for social insurance, for a better life; to com- bat the venomous campaign of propaganda carried on by the bour- geois-led fraternal organizations against the most militant section of the working class.
