PATERSON SILK
strikers ARE
Winning fight
IO7 Plants Settle With
Union; 1900 Back
BY ART SHIELDS

y HEsI
PATERSON, N. j., Sept. 10.
IN spite of injunctions against
picketing and the arrest of more
than a hundred strikers the
Associated Silk Workers. Union
his terminated the strike in 1O7
b r. a d s Tx plants, obtaining
agreements binding the employ
ers to the two-Ioom system and
an increase in wages.
Fifteen hundred weavers are
now working under union con-
ditions and contributing to the
relief of the 1000 still on strike.
A Mysterious Bunch.
More employers are settling daily.
The success of the union to date may
be attributed to the fact that the
workers are better organized than
their opponents. Silk production is
on a competitive basis and employers
find difficulty in getting together,
even in strike. A mysterious
"Broadsilk Manufacturers Associa-
ton" purports to speak for the en-
ployers but the writer's investigation
makes it highly doubtful whether this
is other than fictitious name used
to mask the propaganda of certain
die-hard bosses.
Newspaper statements by the as
ISOLATION carry the names of no Off
GERS and no headquarters address.
The association is not listed in tele.
phone and city directories as is the
workers organization. At the Offices
of the Paterson Chamber of Com.
merce the girls at the information
desk were able to find no trace of the
association until after much telephon.
ing when the writer was advised to
go to No. 1 Broadway.
At Last.
At No. Broadway there was only
the silk factory building of Otto A.
Haeniche, one of the five employers
who has obtained an injunction
against the Associated Silk Workers
His factory was closed and the door
locked. Finally after much knocking
Mr.. Haeniche-a stout, elderly man
appeared. He declared that he was
speaking for the association but re
fused to name it's officers or say what
employers were behind it.
One thing the. manufacturer was
eloquent on, however, was the AS
sociated Silk Workers. He declared
the unions two loom demand was ruin
ing the silk industry of Paterson. He
insisted that the three and four loom
system existed in Pennsylvania and
that the Pennsylvania employers
worked children in their mills.
Oh, My, Yesl
ut is fine thing for the children
in those mining towns to be able to
get work in the mills" added the
manufacturer.
A long statement by the "Broadsilk
Manufacturers Association assailed
the strikers as foreign born. To this
speakers at strikers meetings replied
that foreign birth is not the issue
but the two-loom system.

Crisis in Berlin.

BERLIN, Sept. 16. - Chancellor
Marks backdown in sending tele-
gram to the other powers disavowing
the admission of Germans war guilt
has caused a new crisis in the German
cabinet. The sending of such a tele-
gram was part of the agreement with
the extreme nationalists which enable
the government to secure the neces-
sary two-thirds majority for putting
across the Dawes Plan.
When the telegram was ready to be
sent, pressure was brot to bear on
Chancellor Marx by American bank
ers and diplomatic officials. 1t was
pointed out that such action mingt in
terfere with the task of floating a
German loan in connection with the
Dawes plan.

for their vital interest in the
revolutionary movement. Altho
many of them are not yet mem
bers of the Workers Party, they
all recognize the necessity of a
working class daily paper to fight for
their interests. They were great
help in the campaign to start the
DAILY WORKER, and they are very
glad now to perform this service to
help make it success.
A Thing of Beauty.
The embroidery will be in charge
of Comrade Antonette Zablackas, and
those who know her experience in
this line say that this assures that
the banner will be a real work of art.
The branch that wins this banner
will therefore secure something that
will be appreciated not only because
of what it symbolizes, but also be-
Icause it has intrinsic value and be-
cause it is thing of beauty.
This assures a still greater interest
on the part of the branches in the
DAILY WORKER campaign. Ger
tainly there is not a member Of any
branch but would be proud to see such
banner hanging in the branch head
quarters as evidence of work well
done, and inspiration for future
achievement. Surely there is not
branch but would be proud to see such
right to carry this inspiring emblem
in parades and display it at mass
meetings.
1t is too early to say that any
branch has an advantage in the con-
test The list today shows that none
of them have any more than begun, so
that there is still splendid chance
for the other branches that have not
yet started On Sept. 10, fourteen
oftheseventy Workers Party branches
in New York had entered the lists.
OF the twenty-eight Young Workers
League branches, five had made a
start, and the Juniors were in the
game with one branch, that of
Brownsville. A total of lis subscrip-
tions, amounting to $1,000 were Sc
cured by "a comrades from these vari
GUS branches. Within week or so
we expect to be able to report every
branch as taking part in this cam
paign, and to show the records Of
those that are mobilizing their forces
in earnest.
Here's the List.
The follwing list shows only sub
scriptions that passed thru the New
York agency, and does not yet in
clude the subscriptions sent direct to
the DAILY WORKER. by subscribers
and agents. 1t appears therefore as
tho the mark of 500 additional sub.
scribers will be passed long before
the date of the Foster meeting. New
York is buckling down to its task, and
the achievement of New York news
stand circulation for the DAILY

RADEK TAKES A
HEFTY SWAT AT
CHARLIE DAWES
Even Albanians Think
Durn Little of Him
Especial to The Daily Worker

VIENNA, Sept. 16.-A tornado of
criticism against the Dawes repara-
plan and the storekeeper-general him
self is whirling violently thru the
countries of Europe.
The insignificant Albanian delegate
at the league of nations assembly in
Geneva does not fear to describe the
plan as a "tortuous complicated dia-
bolical Internal concoction of bubbles. y
That General" Stuff.
Karl Radek, the chief Russian jour.
nalist, characterizes Dawes as a get
rich quick mountebank, "The only
genuine military thing about Gen.
Dawes is his epaulettes, Radek writes
Gen. Dawes is a provincial American
attorney who, in guarding the inter
ests of small gas companies, wriggled
his way into banks financing these en-
terprises, and finally penetrated into
their administration. Since God re
wards the pure in heart, Mr. Dawes
feathered his nest and entered into
the large family of poor mililonaires
AS a poor devil with a few millions
he became an agent of Morgan
"When America entered the war he
procured for himself the rank of gen
eral and fought bravely in the commits
sary of Gen. Pershing. Having returned
to America he hung his sword and
laurels on the wall and devoted him.
sef to the old profitable work. When
Morgan decided to include Germany
and the rest of Europe in his system
of enterprises Gen. Dawes, in order &c
cut a more brilliant figure, furnished
up his old uniform and headed the ex
perts commission. Up to that moment
the gallant Gen. Dawes had only beer
known to America as a pleader al
the courts, as one who smoked a pipe
with the bowl upside down anc
played the violin with considerable
skill.
Columbus Honest But
"The general now has every chance
of kidding himself that as with Colum
bus, so with him, new era in the his
tory of mankind is being ushered in
the epoch of the discovery of Eu
rope by America. Columbus as is
known was an honest man' but up tC
the present his adventure had resulted
in having the feudal and capitalist rob
bers of Europe skin the peaceful popu
lation of America.
I'VE do not wish to say anything
uncharitable regarding the heart anC
conscience of that artistic pipe-smokel
and violin virtuoso, Gen. Dawes, but
we must admit that he differs from
Columbus in that he goes to Europe
with a definite scheme in his pocket
for plundering her. The Dawes plar
is a most refined instrument for the
exploitation of Germany"
In Sweden the capitalist economist
Gustav Kassel brands the Dawes plar
as the most perfect and successful
plan for Systematically sucking the
life-blood from a nation living under
the conditions of modern culture"

their train miles and ton miles

is gain for the absentee owners
of stocks and bonds is loss to
the families dependent on rail-
road wages.
/ Employment among train and en-
CINE service employees has fallen to
the lowest point since August 1922.
Approximately $500 in these classes
were laid off between May and June
reducing the number 1882 below
June 1873 and S7,139 below the high
level of August 1923.
Layoffs during June were reported
from every department of railroad
service. The shop employees as usual
suffered most. Their numbers were
reduced 10SO2 compared with May,
bringing the jobs in this department
S3,193 below June year ago and ST.
216 below August 1923.
Purchasing Power Falls.
The total monthly purchasing power
of families dependent upon railroad
employment has fallen by about $780,
100000 since June year ago and by
$40000,000 compared with the peak
of wage payments in August, 1923.
The average wage paid in the indus
try in June this year was $3.50 com
pared with $134 in June, 1923. The
reduction in monthly pay in the case
of shop employees amounted to $40.
Changes from last year in the wages
paid in the various departments are
shown in the table:
June, June,
Monthly Wages 1928 1924
Professional, clerical, etc.....,S122 $122
Maintenance of way .......-..... SO SS

Bosses Gaining.
The extent to which the railroads
are actually gaining by payroll reduc-
tions exceeding the decrease in traf-
tic offered is shown in the report of
the interstate commerce commission
on unit costs, This report shows that
in June the railroads spent 416c on To-
connective repairs per freight train mile
as compared with 25.6c in June, 1928.
a reduction of more than 10 per cent.
Similarly the cost per freight train
mile of enginemen was 239c this year
as compared with 266c in June, 1928
The cost per freight train mile OF
trainmen's wages fell from 292c to
2S.5c
Taking the cost per 1000 gross ton
miles as the basis of comparison the
result is equally striking. The cost
of locomotive repairs on this basis
has been reduced from 331c in June,
1928 to 26.1c this June. In the same
period the wage cost of train engine.
men has been reduced from 1876 to
15c and of trainmen from 1860 to
17.Sc.
This means that with thousands of
railroad workers out of job those
remaining are producing more train
miles and ton miles per hour of work
than year ago. At the rate of say
ing to the railroads shown in June
this will mean several hundred mil
lions in profits to the railroad inves-
tor.
