National Textile Union ON
Faster Pace IN the South
Invites UnOrganized Workers to Send Their
Delegates to Paterson Convention, Dec. Il

The National Textile Workers
Union national office has issued the
following statement on the increased
struggle to organize in the South,
and on its second national conven-
ton, December 21-22, in Paterson,
N. j.:
"The National Textile Workers
Union is intensifying its organiza-
tion drive in the South. Throughout
the country the mill workers are
mobilizing for struggle under the
banner of class struggle. The South
ern District with sharpening strug-
giles and bitter suppression is mobi-
lizing our forces in every textile

"The strikes of last spring in the
South against the stretch-out, low
wages and long hours was the open
ing wedge of the Southern workers,
black and white, in the class strug-
gle under the leadership of the revo-
lutionary unions of America. The
textile workers led the way in the
struggle for better conditions and
against the bosses terror offensive.
The industrialization of the South
brought with it speed-up and
worsening of the workers conditions
creating the basis for sharper class
conflicts in strikes and a reign of

Stimson Shows Charges.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The in
ternational horse-laugh being given
American diplomacy at its rebuff by
the Soviet Union and the inability
of Stimson to save American inter-
ests in China by the attempt to mar
shall all imperialist powers against
the Soviet Union, is showing its eff
feet on the pompous Mr.. Stimson,
Secretary of State. Stimson appear
ing to read his Statement" of
cautiously worded but weak and
hypocritical defense of American
imperialist meddling with Soviet
China affairs. And Stimson in read
ing it showed that he was deeply
offended by the sharp rejection and
accusation of the Soviet memoran-
dunn.
To cover up his wounded feelings
Stimson tried to make out that the
American war threat, to which the
Soviet note was a stern defiance,
had itself caused the negotiations
which Stimson tried to prevent. In
fact Stimson expressed the hope
that the "whole Manchurian situa-
tion would be a closed incident"
The sense of comment even in the
capitalist press is that American
diplomacy has been given a black
eye, and that modification in the
state department is not wanting"
The failure to bring Japan into
the imperialist joint-war threat on
the Soviet Union, is not, of course,
due to any friendship of Japan for
the Soviet Union, but is due pre-
cisely because Japan would not al
low America to trespass on what
Japan regards as its own zone of
influence in Manchuria. And one
of Stimson's greatest defeats is the
inability to overcome this obstacle
in mobilizing the world for war on
the Soviet Union, together with the
fact that Americas note, meant to
prevent negotiations between the
Soviet Union and Mukden, has SEEM
ingly only aided Japan's militarist
lackey at Mukden, to bargain for
better terms.
The citation by Stimson, that the
practice of international capitalist
diplomacy "as far back as the Hague
convention of 1899" justified the
meddling in Soviet affairs, is pointed
out as flabby argument To offer

at NikolSk- Ussurisk, and is de-
manding what it terms are es-
sential changes in the terms
already agreed to.
The protocol as signed contained
among other provisions, the follow
ing items:
That Lu Jung Huan, the Chinese
front" for Russian ,counter-revolu-
tionary white guards who seized con-
troll of the Chinese Eastern Railway
when the Soviet management was
driven out, be dismissed; that the
Soviet would recommend a new
manager and assistant manager, in
place of the old ones, Emshanoff
and Bismont, but that the Soviet
would claim the right to appoint
these two to other positions on the
railway.
The chief terms of the protocol
are, of course, the resumption of
joint Soviet Chinese management
and the carrying out of the 1924
treaty violated by Chinese seizure
of the line.
Chang -Hsueh-liang, the militarist
tool of Japan in Manchuria, is now
announcing that his representative,
Tsai Yun-sheng, is being sent back
to the Soviet territory at Harbar-
ovsk, to try to get better terms.
Chang says that while Lu Jung
huan will be dismissed as chairman
of the management board, he must
be assigned to some other post, also
the replacement of Emshanoff and
Eismont in any position is mot ac-
ceptable."
