N. Y. Socialists"
w a n t Capitalist
Alliances for 1893

A continuation of the policy of
any form of petty-bourgeois alliance
to advance the interests of the de-
crepit socialist" party was decided
on yesterday at the recommendation
of John Haynes Holmes, Community
Church sky pilot.
Holmes pointed out at a meeting
of the inner-committee of nine, of
the non-partisan committee, that the
chances of ensnaring more "impar-
tial" bourgeois votes for a New
Your mayoralty candidate would be
much better in 1888 if the policy of
diluting any traces Of Socialism"
that might have been overlooked in
the cleaning out process during the
past campaign was pursued.
The "non-partisan" committee will
be kept in existence as a bridge to
eliminating even the name social
ist," and making the aggregation Of
sky pilots, retired petty bourgeois,
palatable to capitalist al
liances.

German Industrial
Outlook Bad; F e ar
u. S. Competition

COLOGNE, Germany, Nov. 49,
The Cologne Chamber of Commerce
and Industry at its meetings today
predicted a very unfa"orable out
look for German industry. Com
petition with the United States is
growing.
DR.. Paul Silverberg, Rhenish in
dustrial leader, said that the point
of domestic saturation in the United
States had been definitely reached,
and that American imperialism
would be forced to look for more
foreign outlets if industry was to
be saved from severe crisis.
He expressed the fear that the
handicaps now placed on German
production would not enable German
capitalists to oppose impending
American export activities.
The Cologne Chamber of Com
merce is urging a wage cutting
campaign, and at the same time
demands a cut in taxes for the
bosses so that further burdens of
payments under the Young plan
will be thrown on the shoulders of
the workers.

Hoover Regulars Block
Formed in us. Senate

WASHINGTON, November 90
A new senate bloc, the Hoover reg
ulars," has been formed, consisting
of such reactionary senators as
Robinson of Indiana, Allen of Kansas
and Metcalf of Rhode Island. The
"old guard" led by Senator Moses,
has so completely exposed itself as
a tool of finance capital and has
recently been involved in so many
scandals that Hoover has been placed
in a very unpleasant" position,
especially in view of the progress
sive revolt"
The conflicts between eastern
manufacturers and western manu-
facturers of agricultural products
and wealthy farmers, especially over
tariff issues, have reached such a
point that the senate is virtually
deadlocked. The new bloc, calling
itself the Hoover regulars" is at
tempting the gigantic task of re-
conciling these conflicting interests.
Conflicts between various inter-
ests is shown by the deadlock in the
senate despite the fact that ma
jority of the senators call themselves
republicans" Old party lines, how
ever, have quickly disappeared in
the face of economic conflicts.

"Teneey'' at Sam H. Harris
Theatre with Henry Hull

Huge STANCE has written a drama
of character with an old story, which
is presented in new form in series
of nine pictures" with the use of a
revolving stage and special lights.
Without pity the author tears to
shreds a dreamer's romance withou%
any sop of a happy ending thrown
to the audience.
The story of veneer" is not a
new one. On the contrary the old,
old one of betrayal. It's characters
are finely drawn according to GER
tain phases of modern American
life, true-not the best and most
inspiring phases but still things as
they exist.
Henry Hull is featured in the cast
of Charlie Riggs, the dance hall
shiek who pursues his INSCRIPTIONS
way with women. 1t is a fat part
overbroadly drawn with too much
emphasis at times until the role
becomes somewhat of a caricature.
The real acting honors of the per-
Torrance fall to Joanna Roos in the
part of Allie Smith, the young
library clerk with dreams of far
away idealistic things. Miss Roos
plays with some restraint and a
sense of accent which is admirable.
She is true to life in a delineation
which in less capable hands might
ring melodramatic and false.
Relief from the drabness Of the
main theme is provided by happily
cast quartette OF young actors.
The final curtain falls upon the
inevitable tragedy with grim real
ism. Somehow we were reminded
both of can American Tragedy" by
Theodore Dresser and Arthur Hop
kins' production of 'Machinal" last
season.

Unemployment Grows
in Pittsburgh Are a

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 90
Unemployment is increasing rapid
ly as a result of decided slow-up
in steel production. The U. S. Steel
Corporation has cut its ingot pro-
duction down to "a per cent of cap
acity. There is sag in the manu-
facture of finished metal products.
Newspaper reports here declare
that were it not for few municipal
projects now under way the unem-
ployment situation would be ex-
tremely acute.
Steel production for November
will be much lower. Official figures
now published are a month or two
behind. Window glass manufacture
ers also report a slowing down in
production.

TOILERS ON TOES,

Spend Thanksgiving
Eve at Textile Ball

A short while ago Hoover tore
off the customary Thanksgiving
Day bull, setting aside Nov. % as
a national holiday on which the
workers are snivellingly invited to
make tracks for the religious opium
dens, there to kneel in prayer and
thank the good lord for having been
able to survive one more year of
wage-cuts, speed-up and long hours.
But the class conscious members
Of the working class can no longer
be hornswoggled into going down
on their knees to god or his creator,
the exploiting class. At the same
time that the priesthood is gassing
before its affairs, the national con-
vention of the N.T.W.U. will be in
progress in Paterson, N. j., plan
ming to spread the Southern textile
struggle.
One way to show that you are
not on your knees, but standing
flat-footed and ready to deal the
bosses blow for blow is to attend the
Textile Workers Ball and Carnival
in New Star Casino, 10th st. and
Park Ave-, next Wednesday night,
Thanksgiving Eve. The seven Cas-
tonia leaders of the N.T.W.U. and
the 250 convention delegates will be
guests of honor at the affair, the
proceeds of which will go to help in
the unions organization drive.
There will be nothing sanctimoni-
Gus about this carnival. Jazz music
as only John C. Smiths orchestra
can play it; brightly colored bal
looms; red bangers and streamers;
paper hats and everything else that
goes to make a rollicking revel will
be pressed into service.

TENANTS LEAGUE CALLS FOR
RENT STRIKE

Continued from Page One)
he program Of the Harlem Tenants
League, stated Richard B. Moore, a
Negro worker, and president Of the
League. Moore recently appeared in
his capacity as representative of
the Harlem tenants in Albany and
il the city hall to protest against
the lifting of the limit on rents. The
Harlem Tenants League last spring
conducted a great protest parade
through the streets, and this demon
stration had much to do with the
decision of the Tammany admins
tration to pass a city emergency
law, the one that has Just been
knocked out by the courts.
Moore's statement follows:
"The decision of the supreme
court, appellate term, wiping out the
New York City emergency rent
avs, is the final blow of the wealth
controlled politicians and courts
gainst the working class tenants.
"The masses of the tenants and
PARTICULARLY the Negro tenants, are
now completely at the mercy of the
'ent- gouging landlords who have
5een awaiting this decision. Rents
viii now be boosted as they were
when the state emergency rent laws
rpired. This will mean dispossesses,
tarvation and suffering for large
masses Of tenants.
Particularly at this time, when
wages are constantly being cut and
Unemployment is growing, this de-
ision is simply an edict of the
landlords to put tenants into the
streets 10 starve and freeze. The
Harlem Tenants League has all
long exposed the trickery of the
politicians who passed the rent laws
imply as a gesture to catch their
otes, and planned this decision to
ONE after the elections, when the
enants are unable to voice resent
nent at the polls. But the tenants
Gust voice their resentment in a
lore effective manner than by cast
ng ballot We must organize
nass protest meetings and put for
Yard demands for permanent law
n the interests of tenants. We
aust have no illusions, whatever,
hat the politicians will grant such
? law or that the courts will enforce
It even if the organized pressure
# the tenants forces it from their
ands. The decision just handed
lcwnn should forever blast such
Illusions from the minds Of the ten
.nts. Both Republican and Demo-
ratio judges have concurred unani-
nously in the supreme courts de-
ision, thus proving that they are
like the servants Of the landlord
apitalist exploiters. Only the or
ganized power and struggle of the
'enants and workers will avail to
protect them against the lineup of
andlords, bankers. courts and mar
halls.

article in the Gazette, in which he
states that if rs cents were added

of shorter hours, the five-day work
