THINKS us. MUST
RECOGNIZE USSR
Chain Paper Man Says
Pressure Is Growing

Prophesy of the recognition of
the Union of Socialist Soviet Rep
ublics by the United States is con-
tanned in a special article for the
Scripps Howard Syndicate of news
papers. 1t is written by the SYM
dicate's foreign editor, William Phil
lip Simms. The writer points out
that up until now there has been
no particular pressure upon the
Washington administration to ex-
tend recognition, because of GER
tain factors which are now either
changed or in the process of chang
ing.
These factors are: inability of
u. S. S. R. to secure certain goods
anywhere else but in U. S. The
constant possibility of U. S. recog-
milton; lack of effective European
competition until recently for Soviet
trade. The uncertain status in Eng
land.
Now, Simms says, Europe can
supply in quantity, and at compe-
titive prices whatever the U. S. s. R,
requires; the British recognition is
granted; and unless U. S. indicates
a willingness to be reasonable,
trade may be switched away from
her by the Soviet govel nment buy
ing agencies. t3

STOCK CRASH IN
FOREIGN CITIES
New York Banks Peg
Up Market Slightly

Heavy buying by the Morgan
banking consortium resulted nj some
of the stock prices rising on the
New York exchange toward the end
of day of trading that ended at
l p. m. yesterday.
In spite Of the known intention of
the bankers to try and block the
steep decline of the prices, the ex-
change opened with orders from
America and abroad to sell in large
quantities. The selling was by the
largest holders, in amounts of 10000
and $4,000 shares in many cases.
Stock sales at noon amounted to s.
3S6,200 shares.
News arrived of similar scenes in
Chicago, on the Pacific Coast, in
Canada, London, Paris and Berlin.
The American stock crash is rapidly
becoming a world crisis.
The buying orders were placed on
certain stocks, like steel, which re-
vived 51s points late in the day.;
General Electric, which went up IS
points; Radio, which went up five,
etc. Whether they keep up today
is another question. There will be
no session of the Stock Exchange
Saturday.

WELCOME BEAL

DEMONSTRATION
You Greet the Union
Not Just Me-" Strike
Leader Tells Crowd
Fight Release Five
Chez Iall, HendryX,
A They Join

Just released from the millown-
ers' Jail by $4,000 furnished by the
International Labor Defense, Fred
Beal was welcomed by thousands of
New York workers who carried him
on their shoulders from Pennsyl-
vania terminal to Union Square last
night.
"Fellow workers, it's wonderful
demonstration you're giving me" !"
Beal said at the Cooperative Cafe
terra, where he began his speech,
"but 1 know you're not just well
coming me-you're greeting the Ma
tionai Textile Workers Union and
the five comrades still waiting for
you to bail them out down in Char
lotte. The unions a fighting union
and Pm proud to belong to it.
"I'm happy to see you fellow
workers. who brought me here so
I could join Red Hendryx and ask
you to go on fighting till the rest
Of the boys are out.
Late" on we'll be able to tell you
about that rotten, dirty millown-
ers' system down in the Charlotte
mills" Zeal said later from the WIN
dow Of the Workers Center. The
great crowds which packed the
cafeteria had forced the demonstra-
tion into the Square.
"But the workers are waking up
down there. They're rising and
we're getting our Negro fellow
workers into the fight. The bosses
down there think and try to fool
the workers that the Negroes are
terrible people, but the works. in
the National Textile Workers Union
knows that's just lies. Why, we're
the only union organizing the Ne
groes-we have Otto Hall, who was
nearly lynched down there too, =
with us in our fight. He's here with
us now."@
Prolonged cheers echoed through
Union Square as the strike leader
drew Otto Hall on the stand. Hen
dryx had already joined them.
eyes, the workers are rising in
the south, there's no doubt about
that, and the resistance of the work.

members of the Red Army and
Navy. Delegates from every ma

WINDOW CLEANER
STRIKE NOT over
Conference Pressed By
Right Wing Treachery

Negotiations between the Window
Cleaners Protective Union, Local 8,
and the Manhattan Window Clean
ing Employers Protective Associa-
ton ended in a deadlock yesterday
when representatives of the employ
ers' body refused to grant practical
ly all the demands of the union. The
negotiations, which sought to end
the strike of more than 1000 win
dow cleaners that is now in its
fourth week, were held in the Hotel
McAlpin. \
The employers refused categori-
cally to grant the five-day, 40-hour
week, which is one of the unions
chief demands, instead of the present
five and a half day, 44-hour week
The employers also insisted that any
agreement signed with the union
should be for two years instead OF
one year, and offered instead of the
$3.50 minimum wage increase de-
manded by the union, a 81 increase
the first year and an additional 81
the second year. At present the
minimum wage is $45 a week.
The unions demand that COM
mittee of lunion representatives be
permitted to inspect all safety de-
vices and to remove men from he
job if these devices were found q
be improper, was countered with Z
proposal that this committee be ce.il-
posed of an equal number Of u.on
and employers representatives Y ith
the State Department of Labor as
the final arbiter. The union re-
fused to yield this point.
Right Wing Treachery.
The right wing in the union pre-
faced it's entry into negotiations by
giving a story to the capitalist press,
exulting over the opening of the
talk, and claiming that everything
was all right now because the bosses
would not have to deal with Peter
Darck, left winger. They allowed
the president of the employers as
sociation to speak for them, and
say:
"The action was taken to open

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Nov. T.
Furious intimidation by the hench-
men of the Leaksville Woolen Mill

has failed to break the strike or
scatter the picket lines. The 200

citing, post sentries to call out the
mass pickets whenever the occasion
requires.
Thugs Shoot.
Last night mill thugs came out
to abuse the pickets and fired into
the air, hoping to scare them. This
attack failed.
Collections for strike relief are
being made at the gates of the
other mills around. Leaflets are
being distributed to the workers of
ether mills and in other cities, tell
ing them Of the Leaksville strike
and asking them to stay away from
the strike area.
The Leaksville strike, coming in
the midst of the fake investigation
Of the Ella May murder, is accepted
here as the workers first answer to
the attempts Of the mill bosses to
shoot the N, 7. W. U. out of the
South.

the murder Of Ella May continue to
pile up evidence Of the crime of the
mills an dof the state. Charles

the truck with Ella May when mill
gangsters killed her, testified to-
day that he could identify as one

Judge McElroy was forced to or
der the grand jury to appear in

Shope to look them over and pick

Shope testified that Immediately
after he appeared before the grand
jury he told Sheriff Virgins of
this. The sheriff did nothing. The
grand jury refused to indict any
body.
The whole endeavor of those con-
ducting this second probe" is di-
rected toward hiding the fact al
ready apparent that the whole
state machinery here is the bosses
agent, and that the Investigations
are all for the purpose of white
washing the murderers, or at least
of picking out a scapegoat for light
punishment.
