SILK BOSSES
START new WAR
ON employees
TrytO Steal Back Strike
Gains
Especial to the Daily wOrker)

PATERSON, N. j., Nov. 12.-
The silk manufacturers are
starting a concerted drive
against gains made by the AS
ISOLATED Silk Workers after a
long and bitter struggle in
which the Trade Union Educa-
tional League and the members
of the Workers Party took a
militant part in aiding the UNI
ion to force settlement from
TIA mills.
Out of these TIA mills, eleven
have gone back to the old con-
ditions, and indications are that
they are being supported by
others in an effort to steal
back gradually all the gains the
workers have won.
AT special meeting of the strike
committee Tuesday night, plans were
formulated to call out all weavers in
another general strike and the follow
ing statement was issued:
Strike Committee Statement.
after the long struggle in which we
have engaged, during which time many
settlements were made, we now find
the workers In the broadsilk industry
are again confronted with a concerted
move on the part of a number of man
ufacturers to take from us the gains
we have made.
"At meeting Of certain clique of
silk manufacturers held Monday night
a plan was set on foot to start drive
against conditions we have gained.
Will Fight Back.
1.-THE condition will not be tolerated
by the Associated Silk Workers, and
after thoroly discussing the situation,
we declare that further trouble is i'm.

result Of the arrogance OF this irrecon-

I'VE emphatically assert that those

fronted with wholesale shutdown of

Drastic Action Promised.

ARE MURDERERS.
OF MATTEOTTI
MussOlini Is Facing a
GrOwing Opposition

tSpeciai TO the Daiiy WorkerO
ROME, Italy, Nov. 12.-On
every hand is heard the pro-
phesy of the downfall of Benito
MussoIini and the probable sup
planting of Fascist rule by die
tatorship of the military, backed
by varied elements among the
bourgeoisie dissatisfied with the
Fascist rule and supported by
the war veterans organization,
which is seething with discon-
tent and which out-numbers the
Fascist black shirts.
When the chamber of depu-
ties convened today, Communist
Deputy Repossi violently at
tackled the Fascist majority, de-
claring it guilty of the murder
of Matteotti.
The Bourgeois Boycott.
The section of big capitalists and
much of the petty bourgeoisie which
were injured by the policy of Fascismo
in trading of monopoly rights to some
capitalists and in filing government
Offices with incompetent grafters, are
making the most OF the Fascist as
saults on crippled war veterans of re-
cent date and the smoIdering anger
over the assassination Of Matteotti.
This opposition is being expressed
by the refusal of the parliamentary
deputies to sit in the chamber of de-
puties. Many national figures, such
as Giolitti, liberal leader, started this
boycott and when the chamber con-
vened at o'clock yesterday after
noon, 105 Of the opposition bloc re-
NAMED absent. Prominent members
of the Fascist party are resigning ev-
cry day Mussolini is on the defen-
siye.
Communist Party Gaining.
Against both bourgeois elements
the Communist Party of Italy is fight
ing valiantly and winning large Sec
tions of the workers. The party has
had to lead an illegal existence UNI
der the Fascist regime of murder and
terrorism, but it succeeded in spite of
that in placing 10 members in the
chamber of deputies.
The party so far has refused to
withdraw its deputies from the cham
Der as it has as little interest in sup
porting the bourgeois opposition as it
has in Fascism, and it remains in the
chamber to challenge Mussolini face
to face and better to arouse the work
ing masses than by withdrawal and
silence. 1t is the policy of the Com
munists not to withdraw from parlia-
ment until conditions are ripe for the
armed struggle for proletarian power.
Labor Unions Slowly Change.
The confederation of labor is in the
hands of the reformist leaders. Never
theless, great blocks of unionists are
being won over to revolutionary pro-
grams advocated by the adherents of
the Red International Of Labor I'm
ions. All thru northern Italy the
chambers of labor are going over to
the control of Communists. II Mus
solini falls, the Communists will grow
overnight into a force nearly strong
enough to begin the final struggle.
