K,IENDAYE, France, Feb. B.
Weeping thru the province of Gaia
Tlia, the general strike of all indus
kal workers in Barcelona is closing
!, 'Nll after mill and has tied up fac
bries and textile mills, trans, busses,
/harbor work and other activities. The
afternoon newspapers failed to ap-
pear in Barcelona. Increasing re-en-
forcements of police and troops are
being called out by the government
and are reported to be in virtual con-
troll of the city as hundreds more of
the workers continue to join the hum
dreds of thousands already out in
Catalonia.
The fascist government of Primo

alarmed by what it terms the ugly

Catalonia, of which Barcelona is the
chief city, is regarded with concern
by the Spanish government in view
of the miserable conditions of the
Catalan peasantry who have long de-
manded independence from Spain and
the establishment of Catalonian re-
public. The government fears that
the Catalan nationalists will unite
with the general strikers in the city
and in the province and official alarm
is growing as the possibility of a
revolutionary situation increases

Clashes With Police.

MARSEILLES, Feb. 8. - Troops
and police are being rushed to Bar
celona as the general strike which
began as a struggle against a wage
tax is now involving hundreds of
thousands and has succeeded in shut
ting down nearly all the textile, au-
tomobile factories, harbor work and
presses in the city. At least ninety
per cent of the Barcelona workers
are reported to be out.
Clashes between the police and the
workers have already taken place and
scores of workers are reported to be
under arrest.
Despite the efforts of the authori-
ties to prevent all information con-
corning the situation in the province
from leaving the city, news has been
received that all the industrial towns
in Catalonia have been gripped by
the strike.
Thirty-three factories have closed
in the small town of Sans alone. The
industrial centers of Sabadell, Man
resa and Tarrassa are completely tied

British Labor Movement
Faces Political Crisis

ample of this analogy in working class
politics is the new economic policy of
the Bolsheviks. But surrender with
out exhausting every resource against
the enemy is treason. And this is
what the general council and the La
Dor Party did.
Everybody knows there were enor-
nous reserves of workers and ma
terial available and ready in 1926.
But neither were called upon. Is it
an wonder that there should be a
falling away from the ranks of the
unions today; that the miners, for ex-
ample, should now find 30 per cent
of their members outside the M. F.
G. B.; and that what applies to the
miners applies with varying degrees
to other unions? In seeking for ar
explanation Of the present crisis in
British labor we must reckon the sur
render on May 18th as an important
contributing factor, leading to the
weakening of the morale of the work
ers' movement as a whole, and in
evitably to the present crisis.
Reformists Terrified.
Terror-stricken at the prospect of
decisive struggle for power that
faced them, it was inevitable that the
betrayal Of 1926 should be followed
by retreat after retreat until the very
name of socialism is abandoned. 1t
is therefore no accident that Edin-
burgh should strike the note of "In-
dustrial Peace" and "class-collabora-
tion," and that Blackpool should adopt
a liberal programme to attract petty
bourgeois votes. 1t is the logical re-
action from a prospective revolutions
airy situation by leaders who do moi
want revolution.
Nor is it accidental that there
should be such a vehement drive
against the Communists, left-wing
workers in the trade unions and La
Dor Party. The drive against these
workers is necessary corrollary to
the abandonment of socialism. Hav-
ing dropped socialism, the entire Ia
Dor bureaucracy is forced to suppress
every attempt Of the workers to fight,
even local fight, because the logic
Of even local fight, especially in
these days of the interdependence of
industry and trusts, is national
struggle.

To The Readers of The DAILY
WORKER:
COME read the DAILY WORKER in
order to know what their enemy is
doing and thinking. There are quite
few of these-namely, the capital
lists and their lackeys-and by read
ing The DAILY WORKER they
prove that they are very conscious Oh
their interests.
But with that exception all of the
readers of The DAILY WORKER are
interested in promoting it's circula-
ton. We are therefore justified in
asking the question: what are you
doing to increase the circulation of
The DAILY WORKER?" 1t requires
the conscious efforts of its readers
who must bring it into the shops, the
factories, the mines, on the land
everywhere, and convince the work
ers of this country that only in The
DAILY WORKER will they find
every day the news that will bring
them the truth about their position.
Not only that, but it will also aid
them in the organization OF their
struggles against their exploiters.

1t is the duty of all the readers
of The DAILY WORKER to get at
least one new reader during this

'In January 1,150,000 metric tong

Khinchuk said. "Grain purchases
have shown a particularly large in

"These favorable results are dls 70

ROME, Feb. 3.-The fascist ire

ticket and limiting voting to members
of the fascist guilds, was endorsed
today by the Fascist Grand Council,
with Mussolini presiding.
The substance of the bill was ap-
proved last fall by the council, which
intimated that it would be temper
airy measure. The bill is an attempt to
completely obliterate all opposition to
the fascist regime.
GENEVA, Feb. 3.-The decision of
the Fascist Grand Council to bar all
opponents Of the fascist regime from
the polls was generally regarded here
as move forced by the growing op-
position within Italy. The recent tex
tile strike, the hanging of q fascist
official in Mantua and the growing
protest against wholesale wage reduc-
tions decreed by the fascist regime
have led the grand council to adopt
more severe measures in an effort to
stem the rapidly growing protest.
Unrest is particularly prevalent in
large industrial centers, where prices
are high. The fascist militia, reports
received here state, was required In
a large number of instances to en-
force the wage cuts decreed by the
fascist government.

Continued from yesterday

CONTINUED from yesterday
In the steady growth of the Labor
Party as well as the trade unions in
the drive towards the quadruple al
lance and more power to the general
council; in the close relationship with
the Russian unions, and the trend to-
wards international trade union unity
as a whole, we witnessed the crystal
cation process towards powerful
workers movement with tremendous
potentialities for socialism.
Naturalization Of the important
industries were common demands.
Workers control of industry was
coupled with demand for closer COM
bination of trade union machinery
based on factory committees. All
these things were wrapped up in a
buoyancy that strengthened and en-
couraged the entire socialist move
ment. The workers were heading for
power. Then burst the general strike.
It is from the defeat of the general
strike that the present crisis takes its
beginning.
Councils Surrender.
The general strike brought into To-
Gus with startling clarity and realism
the very essence of the class struggle.
Labor leaders, who had been talking
glibly of opposing capitalism and of
new socialist order, were suddenly
brought face to face with the physical
powers of capitalism. Either they
1.-THE leaders) go forward from stop
page of work to provisional govern
ment based upon the workers organi-
cations, or surrender. There came a
moment in the struggle when these
were the alternatives, and there were
no other.
Now why did the general council
choose surrender? 1t cannot be said
it was because it did not have the
backing of the workers. Never was
there such a unanimity behind the
labor leadership. Those sections of
workers who were still at work were
straining to take their place with their
fellows. All, except the small percent
age of traditional blacklegs, felt it a
dishonor to remain at ork. Why then
surrender? Clearly, because the gen.
eral council and the Labor Party lead
ers were afraid to 60 forward.
Here we do not wish to be mis-
understood. That leaders must fight
at all times and under all circum-
stances we do not propose for mo-
ment. We would not propose any
thing so ridiculous. AS with an army
in the field, so with the workers
movement. Time, place and circum-
stances, are determining factors. An
army may sometimes find it more
advantageous to retreat so that it
may go forward under more favor
able circumstances. The classic ex-
