Workers Defeat Their
Interests in Election

Continued from Page One)
terday's voting for it's candidates the
militant workers of New York regis
tered significant protest.
No returns on the Workers (Con,-
munist) Party vote were obtainable
late last night.
The democrats have swept all five
boroughs of the greater city electinp
their complete judicial and municipal
tickets, returns showed. The indica-
tions now are that the control of the
state assembly is in doubt.
The entire democratic county ticket
in Brooklyn appeared to have been
swept into office by a plurality of
about 100000, according to estimates
made in that borough last night. AS
the reports from the various polling
places began to roll in, District At
torney Charles j. Dodd was running
ahead of the ticket.
The vote in the borough was even
lighter than had been expected.
Returns indicate that the sixth
amendment to the constitution Of the
state of New York has been defeated
by an overwhelming majority in New
York City. This amendment would
make the election of the governor Of
New York concurrent with that of the
president of the United States and
would give the governor a four in-
stead of two-year term. The other
amendments were apparently carried.
Judge Jacob Panlen, socialist, run
ming for reelection in the second
municipal district, was reported run
ming strong in the 9th and Sth as
sembly districts but was outclassed in
the End, 3rd and 4th district.
About score were arrested yes
terday for alleged illegal voting or
for entering booths with voters.
Among those taken into custody were
three women.
"The change from ballots to voting
machines has not checked the ACTIVE
ties of election crooks" William NJ.
Chadbourne, chairman of the advisory
committee Of the Honest Ballot As
sociation, said after the polls had
closed at 6 o'clock last night.

Employment Falls
$4,000 in N. Y. State;
Building on Decline

Factories in New York State en-
ployed $4,000 fewer persons in Sep
TENDER than a year before, James A.
Hamilton, industrial commissioner.
has announced.
The number of persons employed
by the firms reporting to the depart
ment was 484,115 in September. Their
total payroll amounted to $14,317,-
345 a week less than in September,
1925. These firms represent about
40 per cent of the states wage earn
ers.
The recession, Mr.. Hamilton re-
ported, had developed by September,
1926, but was not clearly definable
because of the customary seasonal
activity in that month. Moreover, the
usual Fall revival was stimulated by
the delayed operations of shoe fac
tories, fur shops and women's cloth
ing shops.
At present the decline in building
and the widespread contraction of
employment in the heavier metals in
dictate a cessation of industrial ex-
pansion, according to the survey.
The trend of employment since the
Spring of 1926 has been steadily
downward, interspersed only by minor
recoveries, according to the survey.

The United Cooperative Or

Tenth Anniversary
of the November Revolution

At this the most momentous day in the his
tory of humanity - we join the toilers of all
lands in our heartiest greeting to the First
Workers Republic. The Revolution of No
vember was won by the valiant struggle you
workers of Russia carried on against great
odds. You have paved the road to Siberia
with your fallen heroes. You have filled the
prisons of the Cars. You withstood the agony
OF brutal fortunes and unbroken in spirit you
kept on fighting until you won. Your victory
became an inspiration to the workers Of the
world and a reminder of their duty to liberate
themselves from the miseries of capitalism.
The great stimulus to the Cooperative
Movement in recent years is also due to the
Influence of November and in this, too, your
rule is great

court in the written opinion affirm

Police afraid"
All that is necessary to make such
mass meeting unlawful, the Jersey
judges explain, is for the police to
be frightened The meeting in the
Paterson strike was so enthusiastic
that the police who testified at Bald
wins trial said they were afraid that
some breach of peace might occur.
Baldwin is pacifist.

Iron Workers Union
to Fight Reduction
in Living Standards
(By Worker Correspondent

(By Worker Correspondent
At a recent meeting the Bronx and
Manhattan Iron. Masters Association
headed by one Brodsky, Of the Globe
Iron Works, 355 Walton Ave, laid
plans for the strengthening of their
association for the purpose of ex-
tending the working week from "a
to 48 hours and for a substantial cut
in wages in all the iron and bronze
shops of Greater New York While
this association was formed exclusive
ly by open shop employers several
months ago, many employers with
union shops have been attending their
meetings lately.
The inside Iron and Bronze Work
ers's Union has realized for some
time the anti-labor intentions of this
association and therefore at a recent
membership meeting passed an as
sessment on all members for the pur-
pose of strengthening the defense
fund of the union. The union min
imum scale for helpers is $50 and
finishers SAG for Al hour week,
whereas the open shop workers are
forced to toll 48 hours weekly for
much lower wages.
Sweated Slavery.
On account of the present heavy
work, speeding-up and small wages,
longer hours with still lower wages
would amount practically to sweated
slavery for starvation wages. The
union is therefore pushing an organ
ization cmapaign to prevent this and
to raise the level of the unorganized,
to extend to more workers the bene-
fits thus far won and to maintain
and improve the hours, wages and
conditions of all workers in the iron
and bronze industry in New York
and vicinity. The union headquarters
are at 7 East 18th st.

in Russia on this trip that you and
others went there for the purpose of
accommodating information which you
expect to utilize in recommending to
the Committee on Foreign Relations
in the United States for the recogni-
ton of Russia. I went there with no
such knowledge and with an open
mind on the subject of recognition,
having no i'll will for or against Rus

committee on the boat, felt that
while most of the facts were correct
ly stated the manner of recital gave
an entirely wrong impression of what
we had seen.
Not In Sympathy"
1T also failed to disclose that
about two-thirds of the information
we could not verify and we took it
from the Communist leaders, assum-
ing it to be faithful and true. If you
are Communist, you believe it prob
ably. But personally, not being
Communist and not being in sympa-
thy with that sort of doctrine, and
believing it cannot produce any good
IN the long run for the Russian peo-
pie. l don't believe it entirely. will
agree with you that from what have
read the condition of the Russian
Workmen and the condition of the
poorer part of the workers of Russia
IS probably better than before the
car Yas connected with it. don't
believe the more skilled workers are
as well off.
Workers Are Willing.
81 will agree that a great manv
of the more skilled and intelligent
workers that we saw are willing to
put up with present conditions as
temporary measure.
Il have discovered, l believe, that
1t is part of the heart and soul of
the Communist Party, part of its in
violable and Interchangeable policy, to
stir up world revolution and ignor-
antly interfere in the affairs of the
United States. l am not satisfied
that the majority of the committee
would not be glad to participate in
any serious revolt or disturbance that
might occur here if enough gullible
workmen were led to believe that the
rosy picture you paint of Russia were
literally true.
Paid Compliment.
Had you not carelessly, or in an
effort to pay what you considered a
compliment, put my name on this re-
port, would have had no occasion to
dissent from your report or criticize
it or publicly direct attention to its
analysis.
My future conduct with regard to
it will largely depend upon your an
swers to these questions. Of course,
if you ignore them I will have to
draw my own conclusions as to their
truth.
"As to your suggestion that not
one Of the other members of the com
mittee agree with me as to the eco
nomic situation in Russia, / have
