Incorrect Title on
Article by Gertrude
Mueller on March II

Editor, Daily Worker:
I wish to protest most emphati-
cally against the liberty taken by
the Daily Worker in changing the
title of my article on the Paterson
strike which appeared in the March
IL edition of the Daily Worker.
The title which was used, 'Women
Silk Workers Led in Paterson" is
very misleading and gives an en-
tirely wrong impression. In the left
wing struggle against the union Of
ficials and for the winning of the
strike several women were among
the most prominent spokesman, but
to give the impression that the
women actually led this struggle is
unfair to those left wing men work
ers who participated equally with
the women in the leadership.
Because the article was one of
series published during this week,
with special reference to Interna-
tional Women's Day, the liberty
which the Daily Worker took in
changing the title can be explained
ty the zeal which the Daily" dis
played in giving the women workers
every possible prominence this
week.

(Second Installment.)
By IVAN BACHAN.

This is the second installment
of an article which in its first part,
already printed, told of the loot
ing of the Gary steel workers thru
their being compelled to buy sport
tickets, subscribe to the Red Cross
and pay graft to the individual
bosses to keep their jobs.
The most merciless driving of men
in the Gary mills is seen at the Ma
tional Tube Works, where in every
operating department "a part of the
plant has been idle during the win
ter) the bosses force the men to
work from 10 to Is minutes before
starting time and also after quit
ting time, without extra pay; and
in many instances floor men and
crane operators do not get more than
Is minutes off to lunch, yet the
company deducts half hour for
lunch time. Those workers who dc
not respond to this speed-up scheme
are spotted" by the bosses, and on
pretext of being 'lazy" are fired.
Safety department rules are moth
ing but efficiency and speed-up
schemes.
At first workers used to look to-
wards safety instructions with at
tention but the bosses have openly
showed their intention through the
use of safety departments and
bureaus, and just as the capitalist
system as whole sows the seeds
of its own doom, so it is with "safe-
ty" bunk. Its directors are nothing
but efficiency experts employed to
weed out those who do not readily
submit to the capitalist rationaliza-
ton and speed-up.
The firing is done under the ex-
cuse they are breaking safety
rules" Safety meetings in addition
to being such a speed-up and COLA
boration scheme, are also used by
the bosses as forum at which they
openly urge the workers to produce
more. Several weeks ago, an in
stance of this was reported by a
worker, at the central mills, where
at supposed safety meeting of the
men the boss told them either to
produce more work or they get their
walking papers"
Attitude of the Workers.
Even though the U. S. Steel Cor
poration has full sway and control
of the situation at present, with it.

of the present shop nucleus be made,
which is at present not unlike the
street nucleus, that is into separate
shop units based on the division of
members to each particular shop
which is the requirement for func-
tioning of the shop nuclei.
Preparation of plans for inner
apparatus which is necessary pre-
caution in general, but especially in
a company town like Gary are
needed
Immediate action must start for
a systematic fractional and unit work
in the agit-prop section. The Daily
Worker and language papers have
been neglected and very little litera-
ture is sold. The section in Gary is
sorely in need of correcting this
criminal negligence, for without our
press and literature the best or
ganizational attempts will fall far
below the desired aim. This also
applies in regard to school and edu-
cation of members.
We must not forget the expert
ences and lessons Of the 1919 steel
strike and the lessons Of the coal
mine strikes past and recent. Let
us remember the past experience
and prepare for the forthcoming
battle in the steel and allied indus
tries. ate

MEMORIAL MEET
FOR sun YAT SEN
HITS AT NANKINC
Strike Looming on the
Picking Railroad

PEKING, March 13.-In the midst
of binding dust storm, 5000 Of
ficials, most of them opposed to the
Marking regime of Chang Kai-shek,
met on the occasion of the anniver-
sary of Sun Yet Sens death.
They adopted resolution urging
the taking over of the legation quar-
ter, and against the representative
of Marking here, the commissioner
Chang Chi. Chang celebrated the
anniversary himself, but in his own
meeting, IL miles away.
Strike Looms
A strike against a grating de-
partment head is ready to break
out any moment on the Picking
Mukden railroad. The workers are
resentful against Chang Kai-shek's
government, the opposing militarist
clique here, also. The city is full
of troops, the streets leading to the
houses of prominent generals being
literally packed with soldiers.
Wang Ching Chen Kung-po,
and Ku Meng-yu, of the Kuomintang
opposition, today published all over
the country a proclamation stating
that they would under no circum-
stances obey any of the decisions
of the Third Kuomintang confer
ence, packed by Chang, and due to
meet in Marking Friday.

them had said word still lay be-
tween them.
In the old home she would always
talk of the same things-of the COW,
of the children (there were three of
them), of the bad weather.
Now she was trying hard to find
something to say to him, but she
could find nothing. Suddenly she re-
Lmembered about their COW, and grew
happy.
"Our Lyska calved the other day.
1t was fine cali, Just like her."
At the words "our Lyska" she
looked involuntarily at the straw hat.
With beating heart, she waited for
Andrei to speak.
Gust like herr" Andrea echoed
mechanically. Still seeming to be
engrossed in something, he slowly
continued to remove the newspapers
from the table and to put them on
the bookshelf. Suddenly he looked
at his wife with a new expression
on his face, as if he had decided to
tell her something important.
The terrible moment had arrived.
"Katiusha," said Andrei, looking
not at his wife, but out of the win
dow, II did not write to you because
that would not have meant anything.
l do not live alone, but with a COM
rade. A fine, honest girl. She will
come from work right away, so don't
you hurt her. 1 never chased after
women, the thing came about honest
ly. That is all. :"
Katerina looked at him in silence,
without blinking,-only her throat
was convulsed as she swallowed hard
occasionally.
This was the right moment to
jump up, rip the shawl from her
head, tear out handful of her hair,
shrek like a madwoman with in
suit and grief. And then smash the
window panes.
Instead, she said quietly, she did
not know why:
"And what about me now?"
"You will live as you have always
lived" answered Andrei. II shall
send you money, and | shall come to
help you with the harvest"
Katerina did not answer. Tears
suddenly filled her eyes, fell on her
hands. She did not dry her eyes;
she wiped the tears from her hands
with sleeve.
"Why should you cry? 1t will be
settled somehow" said Andrea, and
glancing out of the window, added:
"There she comes now. Her name
is Katerina too-Katya. Wipe your
eyes. l have told her about YOU"
Hurriedly, obediently, Katerina
wiped her eyes.
She expected to see a larg, woman
with plump elbows and big breast,
with a white face, grown fat on the
four or five hundred rubles while
she, his lawful wife, was drying up,
feeding and nursing his children,
harvesting wheat in the fields where
her arms had become rough and

to her head. But her eyes suddenly
rounded with surprise when a thin
emaciated girl in a white waist, q
short blue skirt, and worn tan slip

blond hair was bobbed like a boys
and held in place by a round horn
comb.
The girl, bundle of papers in
her hands, stopped short in surprise

has a chest like a board" thought
Katerina.

Then for a fleeting moment she
looked at herself in hand mirror
which hung on the wall near the
towels, fixed her hair, and disap.
peared behind the partition.
Katerina still sat uncomfortable
on the same chair in the middle oil
the room. She did not know what
to say, and how to treat her hus
band when his wife was there, behint
the partition. She spoke against hel
own will:
"She is small and thin"
"That is nothing. She is fine
kind person." Andrei answered.
AS if suddenly remembering
something, Katerina hurriedly un
wound her bundle, and took out the
black fritters.

And when Katya, with an apron
on, and with hands black from char
coal, entered the room, Katerina, still
against her will, said to her too, a,
if ashamed of the black fritters:
"Here, a village present"
Katya blushed again and glanced
at Andrea.
"Take them, take them," said thu

ner. "She is fine woman"

Violations of plot by British firm
In the Soviet Union to carry on eco
nomic sabotage duplicating certain
engineers working in Soviet factor
les in system of espionage for the
British has led the trial of the
manager of the Leningrad branch
of the British Morgan Crucible
Company to be postponed until all
implicated can be apprehended.
Wolfmann, the manager of the
Morgan Crucible Company plant in
Leningrad, was tried on February
%, charged with giving brides to
Brylkin, an engineer employed by
the Soviet Kolchugin Factory, for
accepting the products of the Nor
gan Company, alleged to be of poor
quality.
Wolfman denied the charge of
bribing employees of the Soviet
factories, but admitted that Brylkin
acted as intelligence man for for
eign firm on Soviet territory. In
view of the fact that the court hear
ing brought to light new information
with regard to Brylkin having acted
as spy and conveyed his intelli-
gence to Wolfman, his court decided
to adjourn the case for further in
vestigation and ordered the arrest
of the others implicated.
The main factory of the Morgan
Company is located in London. The
Leningrad branch was opened in
1908 and has since been under the
management of Wolfman, who be-
came a Latvian citizen after the
October Revolution.
