STRIKERS START

Settled Shops Strike
Again When Bosses
Break Contract
Hundreds in Parade
Silk Dye Workers Are
Being Organized

PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 31.-To-
day the silk strikers of Paterson
demonstrated their desire for the
spreading of the strike and for a
more militant policy in an un-
,deniable way. For the first time in
the Paterson strike a mass picket
line encircled whole city block con-
tanning six large mills calling upon
the workers to join their brother
strikers.
Three hundred pickets mustered
at the mill gates on Pitman Street
and marched around the solid block
of mills, all of them working since
the beginning of the strike. The eff.
feet of such display of militancy
upon the workers of the working
shops will be great, according to the
picket leaders, and results are to bt
expected.

real militant sentiment of the strik.

but they did not succeed. They mis-
calculated entirely when tn ey
thought that intimidation anc
threats of arrest would stop the
strikers. The police came up against

Strechman, secretary of the Relief
Committee and picket captain, thai
they would arrest her if she did no
stop the parade. But Sophie Strech
man did not pay any attention to th
police threats and the parade con
tinued to the great delight Of tn,
marching strikers.
Yesterday three shops, which hav,

Officials Of the John L. Lewis ma

Uniting with the coal operators

has become notorious.
Local unions report that their

Complete Sellout of
Rank and File

The Socialist" tr d e uni o n
bureaucracy in the New York unions
continues to fall into line in support
of the Tammany Hall candidates in
the coming elections. The latest de-
velopment along this line took place
when letter carrying the signature
of Philip Orlofsky, manager of the
Clothing Cutters Union of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union, was obtained which endorsed
the candidature of Al Smith for
president and the Tammany candi-
dates for governor and lieutenant
governor.
The letter, which was signed by
Orlofsky, was sent by him to the
chairman of the Citizens Commit

man is now circularizing labor
unions with copies of Orlofsky's let
ter, multigraphed on non-union
paper by non-union printers.
The publication of this letter fol-

made in the Daily Worker and other
Communist publications of the fact
that Benjamin Schlesinger had ac-

rather than of the individual boy

principle.
The Soviets not only guide the po-
litical side of the Children's City,
but, its economic existence. Odessa
contributes to the institution only
the astoundingly low amount of
about 20 rubles a year per child.
The rest of the cost is covered by
the city itself, through the farming
on it's own land, the production in
it's schools and workshops and other
organized community effort.
Most of the food is raised by the
children themselves, who learn scien-
tific farming in the process. Practi-
cally all the clothes, likewise, are
made in the city factories" Even
the school books are bound in the
children's bindery, which functions

Eleven Years
Growth Shows
Soviet P0 Wey

(WuelesS tn the Daily Worker)
MOSCOW, Oct. 31.-A leading
article in the "Pravda" today states
that the eleventh anniversary of the
October Revolution is being cele-
brated amid important achievements
for Soviet economy and reconstruc-
ton.
Among the great industrial under
takings finished, says "Pravda," are
the naphtha pipeline in the Grozny
oil fields, the copper works in Cau-
casia, the electrical works and tex
tile mills of Moscow and many 9TH
ers that can be cited.
The situation on this eleventh an
niversary of the Soviet power,
"Pravda" states, "shows the revolu-
tionary Importance of the prole-
tartan dictatorship as the foundation
of socialism"
Frame Apt Slogans.
The article continues, showing
how the class enemies of the prole-
tariat violently, resist the advance
of Soviet economy. The slogans
most apt to the present are, says
"Pravda' a'-"Against the Kulak!
Against the Nepman! Against the
Bureaucrats!" And, it adds:
eve can only repulse the attacks
of imperialism and it's ally, the sec
ond international, by party discip-
line and by combating all deviations
especially right deviations."
The Soviet press in general is pub
fishing the data on economic statis-
tics for September. This shows
that grain purchases during the
month was 28 per cent highter thar
September, 1927, and represents. a
total of 8 per cent of the gross in
dustrial output.
