BALTIMORE, Md, tune 19.- Withdrawing from the field oi Democratic candidates for Presi- dent, Gov. Albert E. Ritchie, in a statement issued, says:
 "Gov. A. E. Smith is in every way fitted by experience, ability and character to assume leader ship and he has the best chance to win.
 In stepping aside for the New York Executive, Gov. Ritchie ad- ded that he will instruct the Maryland delegation to cast its strength for Gov. Smith.
 There is no expectation in the Marylander's mind that he will be offered the VicePresidency but even though he might be- he will not accept 1t.
 .J am profoundly convinced that no consideration of self o1 personal advancement on any ene's part should be allowed to stand fer one moment in the way of success of the Democratic Party which is the natural cham pion of self-government and pop ular self-rule. It is becoming in creasingly evident that a great majority of the Democratic Par ty, in almost every section of the country, is ready to align them selves behind the leadership of Smith," said the Governor.
 Gov. Ritchie further said in his statement:
 "Gov. Smith has proved him self a fearless and efficient ad- ministrator of the greatest State in the Union and his record is a guarantee that with him Presi- dent, honesty in government will take the place of corruption in government, and that the natural resources of the country will be protected.

VOTE ON STRIKE
IN DRESS TRADE
Cooper Union Meeting
to Decide Tonight

Historic Cooper Union Hall will
tonight be the scene of a mass meet
ing where the question of a general
strike in the dress manufacturing
industry will be decided by the
thousands of workers attending.
The meeting, called by the Ma
tionals Organization Committee of
the Cloak and Dressmakers' Union,
is to be held Immediately after work
in Cooper Union, 9Th st. and 4th
Ave.
A tremendous sentiment for
struggle in order to win livable
working conditions, and in order to
retain them by the erection of a
powerful dressmakers' union, exists
among the wide masses of workers
in this trade. This sentiment,
aroused and crystallized by the cam
paigns carried on by N. o. c., is to
register itself in the decision that
will be made tonight.
The heroic militancy of the dress
workers, in the fights against the
reactionary officials of the right
wing company union and in their
past struggles against the employ
ers have suffered severely in the
particularly intense attacks they
had to face from the unions enc
mics. Their conditions are there
fore extremely bad.
Since the left wing union has
again gone on the offensive, by pre-
pairing an all-embracing organiza-
zion drive in the ladies' garment
manufacturing industry thruout the
country, the National Organization
Committee planned the first big
move against the enemies of union
ization to be made in the dress in
dustry.
The decision to call general
strike in the dress trades was first
made by the monthly conference of
shop chairmen and delegates, and
their decision is brought for en-
dorsement to the meeting of the
workers directly.
Leaders of the National Organ
ization Committee and of other nee
die trades unions will speak at the
meeting.

STR0NC1N WEST
Socialists Loss in Ohio
Is Biggest Yet

Communist vote gains in the last
election continue to be shown as ad-
dltlonal returns are reported from
the various sections which have
thus far been able to secure results.
The first city or section to show any
loss for the Red ticket over 1924 is
still to be reported and in all prob
ability does not exist.
Only second in significance to the
Red gains is the fact of the equally
uniform decline in the vote of the
socialist party. No working class
section has as yet been reported here
which shows socialist vote gain,
whereas the losses sustained by this
third party of capitalism are day
by day shown to be of even greater
extent than at first supposed.

the activities of garages thruout
Greater New York last night. The
strike is scheduled for this after
noon.
The men complain that they are
compelled to work from ten to fif-
teen hours a day and that they are
among the most pitilessly exploited
workers in the automobile industry.
Automobile washers have only
one day off in two weeks and for
their labors receive from $40 to $35
per week." one worker told a Daily

Fur Cloak Unions Take
Final Measures

Committees from the furriers and
cloak and dressmakers' unions will
meet in joint conference today to
work out immediate organizational
plans for the amalgamation of both
these unions when they hold their
conventions.
When the subcommittee of the
Provisional National Executive Com
mittee of the Furriers' Union met
recently they officially accepted the
invitation of the National Organ
ization Committee of the Cloakmak-
ers' Union, to amalgamate both big
needle trades Unions. In the let
ter of acceptance sent by the fur
riers they called for a joint confer
ence to work out these plans. The
meeting will probably be held at the
headquarters of the N. o. c., 16 w.
21st st.
The Cloakmakers' Union sevo~al
days ago issued an official call for
their national convention. AZ NnI
be held December 20 in New York
City and is expected to last about
four days. The furriers, though not
as yet having issued the Official call
are expected to set the convention
date for about the same time By
formal decisions of the leadnrshin
of both unions, and endorsements by
the respective memberships the
amalgamation is to take place at the
close Of both conventions.

Workers Defy Traitors
To Strike On, Parade

(Speciol to the Dailu Worker

Especial to the Daily Worker
PATERSON, N. j., Nov. a.
Frantic at the loss of support from
the membership of the Associated
Silk Workers Union, the officialdom
of that organization unmasked its
true reactionary character by start
ing a riot at the membership meet
ing last night, assaulting left wing
workers, and dissolving the strike
committee, a majority of which has
been won over to left wing policies
in conducting the silk strike. Police
were called by right wing official
who halted the meeting. The left
wing then led the workers to an
other hall at 8 Governor Street.
Hitherto posing as progressive"
trade union leaders by not openly
violating the militant policies put
forward by the left wing and en-
dorsed by the membership, the off
cialdom has now launched cam
paign of terror against those who
oppose the breaking of the strike.
The bona fide strike committee an
nounces that it refuses to consider
itself dissolved and that it will
challenge the authority of the fake
committee when that body meets to-
morrow night.
Strike Breaking Steps.
Two concrete steps toward smash
ing the heroic struggle of the silk
workers have already been taken by
the leadership. They are: ordering
the eight-hour day parade on Satur-
day called off, despite fact that this
demonstration has aroused the en-
thusiasm of not only silk workers,
but of the working class in Paterson
generally. The parade will be held
regardless of the officialdom ukase,
the constitutional strike committee
declared.
Another direct strike-breaking
step taken by the leaders was the
announcement of Fred Hoelscher,
chief of the reactionary clique, that
the workers striking against the
Columbia Silk Company, one of the
largest and bitterest labor hating
corporations in town, should go
back to work tomorrow morning.
This was announced at the mass
meeting of strikers this morning. 1t
is definitely known that no agree
ment was signed, no working con-
ditions are agreed to and the union
remains un-recognized.

At the mass meeting where this
announcement was made another
near riot was provoked when the
henchmen of the right wing tried to

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 14.-Resent-
ment bordering upon revolt is
spreading through the ranks of the
Yellow Cab Company workers as
realization of the true meaning of
the so-called "raise," just handed
out, is beginning to dawn upon the

On Nov. we were informed that
we would get raise in our COM

agents, will amount to over $780,
600 a year.
Now isn't this the bunk!
Some "Raise."
I say that for every dollar in

produce two extra for the company.

"When we arrived at Buenos
