SHOE WORKERS
STRIKE IN LYNN
IS Factories Are Now
Forced to Close

LYNN, Mass, March 1.-Two
thousand five hundred shoe work
ers went on strike here today
against the recent state arbitration
awards procured by the bosses call
ing for considerable wage cuts.
Acting over the heads of the reac-
tionary bureaucracy of both the
Shoe Workers Protective Union and
the Boot and Shoe Workers Union,
organizations which have betrayed
the workers consistently in the past
and are now known to be nothing
more than company controlled or
ganizations, the strikers walked out
in body, determined to stay on
strike until the wage cut is rescinded
and until their other demands are
granted.
Forty-five shops have been closed
by the huge walk-out, and other
shops are expected to close soon.
The first walkout of 1000 workers
led to the strike of 500 others en-
ployed by the Unity Shoe Co. AL
though the Boot and Shoe Workers
Union officialdom has tried to gain
control of the workers in the short
period since the spontaneous strike
began, reports indicate that the
striking workers will have nothing
to do with them. They are being
led by rank and file workers in their
ranks.
Immediately following the failure

? 1T is estimated that more
than 5000 delegates and work
ers filled the auditorium.
Among those present were 104 dele
gates and many alternates and over
500 members of the Party from out
of town.
Following the singing of the In
ternationale and demonstration by
the Pioneers who paraded thru the
hall, and preceding a demonstration
of shop nuclei and the sections of
the New York District, a spontan-
eous demonstration of the entire
convention broke out.
William w. Weinstone, organizer
of the New York district of the
Workers (Communist) Party, opened
the convention and greeted the dele
gates in the name of the district.
He referred to the last convention,
which opened amidst mass struggles
of the workers, and stated that the
present convention was taking place
amidst new struggles of the work
ers, beginning to take the offensive
against the bitter exploitation and
increasing naturalization of the en-
ployers.
"The New York district is again
leading factor in opening the
struggles of the workers, as wit.
ness the Paterson strike and the
dressmakers' strike, now going on.
"The district recognizes that the
struggle against the Right danger,
for the destruction of Trotskyism
and counter-revolution, for the
elimination of factionalism is of
major Importance for the progress
of the revolutionary movement in
the United States. These must be
cleaned out of our path if the Party
is to take advantage of the develop
ing class struggles and grow into
a powerful, Bolshevik, mass Party.
"To this end the N. Y. district,
under the leadership of the CEC and
the CT, will use all its energies to
help make the American section a
firm support for Leninism in the
World Communist Party"
While Weinstone was denouncing
the role of the socialist party in the
needle strike and the Hillquit graft
expose, Robert Minor, editor of the
Daily Worker, recently released from
jail in connection with the Hillquit
case, entered the Convention. He
was given a big ovation.
AS temporary chairman Vein
stone introduced the chairman, Jay
Lovestone, general secretary of the
Party.
Referring to the tenth anniver-
versary of the Communist Interna-
tional, Lovestone declared that it
was the signer of the death warrant
of capitalism.
"The Party has gathered here to-
night" Lovestone said, with revolu-
tionary determination under the
leadership of Lenin, the greatest
leader and teacher of the worlds
workers, to examine its tactics and
policies, to criticize its mistakes and
correct its errors, to adopt more ef-
fective means for fighting and to
strengthen it's organization.
"The Party has had many defeats
and victories" he continued, "and
will have more defeats and pessim-
ism, treason and opportunisn. But
this will not thwart us. II will

broke his solemn promise made
in writing that International
Union Bank shares and stock
of buildings belonging to the
Joint Board, Cloak and Dress
makers Union and the left wing
locals would be returned to them.
The shares and stock had, at Hill
quits suggestion, been entrusted to
Frederick F. Umhey, his office
manager, as security for a loan of
100000 made by the Joint Board
from the bank to finance the 1926
cloak strike. Umhey, at Hillquit's
orders, made himself the owner of
the unions shares by outright
trickery and then 'took over" the
buildings of the Joint Board and
left wing locals by organizing q
fake corporation, the 1870 East 25th
Street Corporation, naming himself
president.
Yesterdays installment gave the
evasive testimony of Umhey and
Hillquit at the trial before Supreme
Court Justice Townley at which the
Joint Board (now the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union) sought to
prevent the fake corporation from
stealing the buildings. Under the
questioning Of Louis B. Boudin, at
.orney for the Joint Board, Umhey
was compelled to admit that he had
sold 375 of its shares to Hillquit and
three other Socialists" at 5000 a
share, while 900 shares were sold to
the fake right wing Joint Board at
g195 a share. When asked where
this fake Joint Board had gotten the
money, Umhey was "stumped" and
Boudin called Hillquit himself to the
stand.
In today's installment, which con-
cludes this series, Hillquit, after
much dodging, is compelled to give
the details of how he and his asso-
ciates swindled the cloak and dress
makers.-The Editor.
At the trial before Justice Townley
Jan. 16, 1929, Hillquit opened the
case for the right wing with the fol-
lowing simple Explanation" cf the
big cloak strike of 1926:
Hillquit: Now there are several
things in the case which is largely
an echo of the famous cloakmakers'
general strike in 1926. To begin
with that strike was the outcome,
to some extent at least, of the in
ternal difference or differences or
fights within the organization. The
organization was split in what was
called the administration faction or
the right wing and certain local
unions called the left wing. Later
1t was the left that called the
strike. The strike was called, and
it will be the contention of the
parent body that it was absolutely
unnecessary and frivolous to call
it. Then after this estrangement
a few local unions, including these
alleged plaintiffs in this case,
ceased to pay dues to the Interna-
tional organization and according
to the provisions of the constitu-
tion they were suspended by the
national body and these local
unions were disorganized; which
means the officers of these local
unions, having failed to live up to
their constitutional obligations to.
nay certain stated amounts to the
national organization, the local
charters were withdrawn, the

WALES PRAISES SEGRAvE.

LONDON, March Is LP).-Maj. H. o.
D. Segrave. British racing driver, was
highly praised last night by the Prince
of wales for setting new world speed
record at Daytona. Speaking at din
ner of the Institute of Transport, of
which the Prince is honorary president,
he said:
IT would like to describe Segrave as a
hero. I had a look at the Golden Ar
row a few days before he sailed for
America and had chat with him. I
think. without exaggeration, that we
can put his effort to regain the world
speed record as one of the bravest, one
Of the most sporting efforts ever made.
1T wasn't as though he did not know
what the game was. He did. and he left
this country with car which had never
been tried out. 1t couldnt-there is no
room here to 60 at 200 miles an hour.
It was an entirely new experiment from
the moment he started, and am sure
that all of us take our hats off to Mai.
Segrave as very brave man and
very fine sportsman
We can only sympathize with him
that the only thing that marred this won
derful success, this great triumph, was
that his opponent from our friends over
the other side, his American opponent,
was killed.
