Officers stood outside the hall as
the delegates left, recording the
names of those who attended the
meeting from the unorganized fields
and those who came from the towns
containing only company unions, for
the purpose, delegates said, of dis
eliminating against them.

Thomas Fleck, a delegate from
the Broad Top section who rode all
night with group of fellow-dele-
gates in an old Ford to attend the
convention, declared that organiza-
ton there was completely dissipated.
We're going back to start from the
bottom up and build strong sub
district for the National Miners
Union" Fleck promised.
Fleck was elected to the Grievance
Committee, which is made up of one
delegate from each sub-district.
These officers will convene when
necessary and be paid only when
actually serving. The prevailing
rate of wages in the mines will be
the scale for all officers of the Ma
tional Miners Union, the convention
decided.
Delegates were particularly anx-
ious to vest full control in the hands
of the rank and file, and the entire
organizational plan reflects this.
Appointive power was eliminated, an
easy recall of officials provided for.
The following statement of policy
was adopted unanimously by the
convention:
eve declare it to be our policy to
organize all mine workers in this
district under the banner of the Ma
tional Miners Union, regardless of
political or religious beliefs, or of
color or nationality. We declare we
will not tolerate any discrimination
because of creed, color or nationality
and will in addition defend and pro-

LOOM IN CRISIS

fects about 10000 textile workers.
The strike impetus is so strong that
many observers here have declared
that a general textile strike would
occur before the date set for the
lockout.
The Hamburg shipyards are at a
complete standstill due to the strike
of the $4,000 shipyard workers and
as yet there has been no move on
either side to attempt to settle the
strike.
Dawes Plan Grips Workers
The strike wave is generally at
tributed to the increased cost of
living and the refusal of the indus
trialists to raise wages. 1t is pointed
out that the Dawes Plan has acted
as a vice upon the workers and that
the high cost of living is largely due
to the large imports of gold and the
decline of production in the arti-
ficially boosted industries, both of
which are necessary for the Dawes
plan payment which shortly falls
due.
Govt Fears General Strike.
The crisis is so severe that the Ma
tional Federation of German Indus
try, in order to save its members
from bankruptcy, has appealed to all
industrialists to stop development
during the next year and only build
up what they already have. This
action is considered to be man
euver on the part of the industrial
lists to justify lockouts and their re-
fusal to meet the increased cost of
living by higher wages.
The press here points out that a
situation similar to that which
existed in the British general strike
of 1926 may result, and the manu-
facturers insist thatss the govern
ment set up a compulsory arbitra-
ton system, which would be similar
TO the British anti-strike legislation.

tory in the fight, which is for union
recognition as we'll as improved
working standards, the union of
ficials are dissipating the paralyzing
power of the strike by agreeing to
sign so-called agreements with small
fly-by might bosses whosare apply
ing for a settlement.
That this policy is being carried
out was exemplified by the Settle
ment" reached with the Belfield Silk
Co. Although this is a larger firm,
employing forty workers, the union
secretary, Hoelscher, agreed to end
the complete tie-up there by giving
the boss a settlement without de-
handing that he deposit bond as
security for obeying the wage and
hour provisions of the agreement.
There is no real penalty, strikers
complain, that can be inflicted on
this employer should he proceed las
he undoubtedly willy to violate and
ignore the contract.
More and more workers are real
izing the necessity for picketing in
large numbers in order to draw out
the workers still in the mills. This
tactic, proposed by militant mem
bers of the strike committee is gain
ing far more rapidly in favor than
is the policy of Hoelscher, who pro-
poses to liquidate the strike as soon
as possible.

ENLARGE SILK
STRIKE, is CALL
Workers Rap Prema-
ture Settlements

PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 15.-All
the women in the strike of the 81
900 silk workers here met yesterday
afternoon in a special women's mass
meeting in Turn Hall and took the
first steps toward organizing the
women to act as an energizing force
in the conduct and the spread of the
strike to the thousands of workers
not yet out.
Speakers at the meeting, expert
enced in strike leadership, pointed
out to the enthusiastic audience that
in textile strikes particularly, wom-
en-, who make up large percent
age of textile workers, have always
fought against the mill barons with
the greatest militancy. In addition
to staying out on strike together
with the other workers, the women,
the speakers declared, acted as in
spirers to more militant struggle.
The assembled strikers enthusiast
tically endorsed the proposal put
forward that all the unions efforts
now be bent toward charging the
strike to include the jacquard work
ers, who total another 5000 persons.
If the jacquard workers join the
fight approximately 1000 more will
leave the factories.
Some of the union officials refuse
to take the steps necessary to en-
large the strike, as many workers
are demanding. Open criticism OF
this nature is heard on all sides;
Instead of ensuring the final VIC

Fear Frame-Up.
Indications that frame-up methods

is seen by a statement that the
Communist youth leader may be
charged with setting fire to an au-
ditorium several weeks ago to "im-
press" prospective members of the

show the desperation of the authori-
