The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-08-24
By ALBERT WEISBORD

Textile workers throughout the
country are looking with eager eyes
toward the coming convention called
for September 1928 in New York
City by the National Textile Mills
Committee. They see in this conven-
ton the first step toward the or
ganization of new union for the
textile industry which will fight to
lift the workers out of their present
wretched condition of long hours,
speed-up and wage-cuts.
From Maine to Alabama the tex
tile workers are sweating in a mis-
cry which can scarcely be surpassed
in any other industry. Whether it
be in cotton, in silk or in wool man
ufacture, whether in the dye works
of Paterson Or in the knitting mills
of New York City, whether in the
carpet mills of Philadelphia or in
the silk throwing mills in the an
thracite, everywhere the wage
slaves in all branches of this big
and important industry are seeing
worsening of their conditions.
Hours are growing longer than
ever. The Massachusetts textile

The Reconciliation of the Socialist
Party With Gumshoe Pete

w. E. Woodward, novelist, author of
Bunk" of a biography of George Washing
ton and one of General Grant, has made
contribution toward clarifying the recent
shift of the socialist party from the extreme
right to the utra-extreme right, the elimina-
ion of all reference to the class struggle
lrom its constitution and the general adjust
ment of that partys formal front to its ac-
tual front of warfare against the working
class for the preservation of the capitalist
system.
Mr.. Woodward has announced that he is
ga socialist of the deepest dye"-then he
explains why and when he got the deepest
shade of the saffron socialist dye upon his
clothes. The explanation comes in the text
of letter written by him to a select num-
Der of artists and writer's to ask their sup
port of the Reverend Norman Thomas for
president. Such vote, says he, will help
to make American politics more realistic"
and will "help lay the foundation for pow
erful party of progress and social justice"
Nothing about the working class of course.
It is a small American echo of Ramsay Mac
Donald's recent declaration that the British
social-democrats constitute, not a class par
ty, but a party of intellectuals.
That sufficiently explains why Mr.. Wood
ward joins himself to the socialist party.
But the greatest significance is to be found
in his explanation on the point of the time
of his joining. For Mr.. Woodward makes
plain that he would not have joined the So
cialist party in any previous period, but only
now because of the changes that time has
wrought.
Let Woodward speak for himself:
"Ten years ago it might have been embar-
RAISING for to have urged anyone to
on a committee for socialist candidates.
Names of those affiliated would have been
the blacklists and Gunshoe Pete from Wash
ington would have had his accusing eye
ones window"
In other words, ten years ago the Ruthen-
bergs and Gitlows and John Reeds were in
the socialist party; there was class struggle
still expressed in a portion of the conglom-
crate group that was then the socialist par
ty; there was still connection with revo-
lutionary workers. there was danger; there
was Debs in prison, with Ruthenberg and
Gitlow and hundreds of others soon to go
for long terms; Palmer raids on left wing
socialist party members-all Of this was still
connected with the socialist party ten years

Before Thomas spoke August
Claessens of New York announced
that the meeting was in reality a
convention and that at the conclu-
sion, of the presidential candidates
speech all who were socialists or be-
lieved in what Norman was about to
say should remain and take part in
the convention. Almost the entire
audience walked out when Thomas
finished speaking. The chairman
yelled frantically for them to remain

Mill Workers Must Build Union

vast masses of the one million unor-
ganized textile workers it has never
attempted to reach.
The call for a new union comes
like beacon of hope to all those
who are suffering in the textile
hells. With a militant leadership,
the same leadership that conducted
the splendid fight made by the
wooden workers in Passaic two
years ago and is now in charge of
tie spirited battle being put up in
New Bedford and Fall River, with
such leadership the workers feel
confident that their ranks will be
organized and modified for strug-
gle.
The National Textile Mills Com
mittee calls upon all unorganized
and organized textile workers every
where to communicate with the Ma
tional Secretary, Albert Weisbord
at SO Fifth Ave, Room 311, New
York City, sending in names and
addresses of all those interested in
the national convention. The con-
vention is called for Sept. % and
