own URUGUAY
Communist Party Has
Big Influence
BY JAMES STONE.
Especial to The Daily Worker


MONTENEGRO, Uru., Oct II
by Mail. 1.-The Communist
Party of Uruguay yields ire
mendous influence In the labor
movement of this country. The
Communist daily "Justicia," the
official organ of the party, has
a circulation of about ten
thousand.
II Is very interesting to note
that the influence Of the Com
munist Party on the working
masses is entirely out of pro-
portion to its numbers.
The organization has a membership
Of about seven hundred. The Young
Communist League has a membership
Of about five hundred. There Is IN
addition a sporting organization with
a membership OF approximately six
hundred bearing the name Of the Red
International Of Labor Unions. This
is similar to the one in Argentina.
The workers here are greatly inter
ested in sports and the Communists
are fully alive to this.
Woman Question Big Issus..
Here, like In Argentina, there are
scattered groups Of women workers.
The woman question, as an integral
part Of the whole class question, Is
becoming more and more an issue in
the country.
There is no socialist party IN Uru-
quay. The syndicalist and anarchist
organizations are on the decline.
Some Of the anarchist organizations
have ceased to exist.
The Communist Party IN Monte
video owns a building and a printing
shop of considerable size.
Packers Own Country
Turnout the country one comes IN
contact with the menacing power of
the American dollar It appears that
Swift and Armour own and control
everything in the country. Swift and
Armour is all that one can notice
when he enters the port of Monte
video. Ten thousand workers ara en-
ployed at the Swift plant. Two -four
ishing towns, suburbs Of the metrop-
oils. belong to these -exploitsrn. Banks,
stores, buildings and other property
are in the hands Of the American
capitalists.
The Communists ara making a
brave fight against the sncroachmsnts
Of the American impsrialistA The
workers Of Uruguay are responding
enthusiastically to the Communist
appeal. When an appeal for help was
recently made by the Communist
Party the workers contributed thirty
thousand dollars in few weeks.

LABOR TAKERS
SABOTAGE SILK
WORKERS STRIKE
Winning Out with Aid
Of the Masses

PATTERSON, N. j., Nov. 1s-over
one hundred and sixty shops have
signed the union agreement with the
striking Paterson silk workers, and
four thousand weayers have already
returned to work under union condi.
tions, the Associated Silk Workers Of
America announces. Since the strike
started over twenty-eight hundred new
members have enrolled in the union.
The organizations relief store at IS
Ellison st., is looking after all needy
strikers. Broad silk weavers who are
working In shops that have already
settled are paying regular assess
ment for the upkeep Of those still on
strike.
Morale Is Good.
The press, the police, tine courts, the
civil authorities and the government
are still working in the interests of
the bosses. But in spite Of all OBJ
stacles, the spirit and morale Of the
strikers is better than the first day
.of the strike. Complete victory is
expected.
Sara Conboy OF the United Textile
Workers Union, has sent letters to all
American Federation Of Labor bodies
advising them to sabotage the strike,
and to give no aid. Organized labor,
however, is solidly lined up With the
courageous silk strikers. Many A. F.
Of L. local unions have indorsed the
strike and given financial aid.

BOSSES SCHEME
TO PUSH LABOR
INTO LONG DAY
Wages Cut on Nine and
Ten-HOur Shifts
BY SYDNEY WARREN,

Federated Press stan oorrsapondent.)
VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov 19.
The timber bosses of British
Columbia In an effort 70 Induce
the provincial government to re-
duoe Its royalties on timber out,
are crying poverty and paradlng
the DOGGY Of foreign capital In
Vading the Industry.
Workers regard the campaign
for reduced royalties as a pre-
linninary to an effort to annul
the 8-hour act, which was
passed as a sop at the last ses-
sion Of the provincial assembly.
The government has shown its hos
tiItty to the measure by appointing as
lahor's representative on the board an
obscure hsnchman of the liberal party,
G. v. Foster, whose sole qualification
is that he Is president OF tina liberal
party unit IN a small interior town
Those acquainted with Foster assert
he Is completely ignorant of the chief
industry of the province, which Is
lumber. and can be counted upon to
allow the lumber bosses the exemp-
tons they want to make the act a
farce.
Another attempt to set aside the
measure has been the systematic re-
duction Of wages by the camps and
sawmills turnout the province Work
ers working and 1D-hoHr shifts have
been cut &c an hour, which amounts
to from 45o to 500 day. The idea
back Of this is that If the wages
earned working 0 and 10 hours barely
Sufice for a worker and HIS family,
the workers will join the bosses in
a petition to postpone, If not set aside
the shorter working day.

make it very short. The Navy Depart

The appropriations for the Virgin Islands
are charged against the United States
NAVY Department; perhaps many Of you
do moi know that like Guam we send
down here Naval Officers, Doctors and
men and they ask us to appropriate for
these islands; and the Naval Department
is willing to have these appropriations
charged against it. We have TO furnish
a number OF governors and officers Tor
these islands. When the United States
Government takes hold OF a territory 1t
starts right out on sanitation. Our Gov
ernmen believes that when a man is

most cordial welcome. Gentlemen, we
are delighted to see you and it is with
unfeigned satisfaction that ! bid you
welcome to St. CrOix in the name of
what | may call the Cabinet of our Coun-
ell and in the name of the people of this
island Let me add that it gives me
great pleasure to welcome you here in
Christiansted, the Capital Of the Virgin
Islands, in whose interest if you would
turn and devote just a little attention,
her harbOr would, at very little cost, be
made productive of much benefit to the
inha hitants Of the island. and would have
enabled US to receive you at the thres-
hold Of our island. her main landing
place, instead Of at her back door. As |
ave mentioned tins just let me say ia
passing til although We are aware that
estimates of this improvement have been
made, the great disparity between those
estimates and that made by our former
administration is what keep our hopes
alive in this respect, and we trust soon
that efforts will be again renewed tend
ing towards this much needed improve
ment.

titled to express with authority attach

now is the opportunity of interpreting
the feelings and sentiments of the peo-
pie of the Virgin Islands to those whom
YOU represent. La addressing you then
