Lest there mliglht be soine who
colnld :not b- c·nvinced by the cry
of "Dolsheviki, there was another
cry invented. This was. "Alien,
Alien." \What a magic word. It is
a relic of the great war. There were
som.ll aliens around the Labor tenm
ple, so they were reaponsible for the
strike. The records of the unions
themselves would reveal that there
are more than 8,000 aliens alone in
the unions. and only 8,000 voted in
favor of the strike. Could proof be
plainer? Impossible Absolutely

true thiat there were thousands of

rejoiined their unions, but they would
fall for the "Alieni '" call, and the
