socialist party made no pretense of retaining
its identity, but went even further than en-
dorsing LaFolette as it did in 1924-it en-
dorsed and let democratic candidate run un-
der its Party emblem and name.
Our Communist Party must ruthlessly ex.
pose the real nature of the last elections to the
masses of miners. 1t must expose the role of
the U.M.W.A.-S.P. takers in misleading them
into supporting Harvey. Our Party must edu-
cate the miners to understanding of its
political problems as we'll as its economic
struggles. In the struggles that are now TAX
ing place, and that will develop; the Party
must not limit the fight to the economic issues
involved, but must broaden them out to include
clear, conscious political struggle against
capitalism and the capitalist state. Our Party
must combat the Lovestone renegades especially
in Wilkes-Barre, who as part of the Lovestone
group of right wingers, fail to understand and
who strongly deny the process of fascination of
social-reformism, and in that way serve to bind
the workers to this fact.
This not done at the time of the last
elections in Wilkes Barre. Our Party did not
attempt to enter the election struggle.
And the. anthracite sub-district was at that
time under the leadership of Vratarich, and
the other great saviors" of the Cemintern
and Leninsm in America and elsewhere Our
task is made bit more difficult due to that
fact, but our Party must proceed at once to
unmask the treacherous role of social-reform-
ism in Wilkes Barre as we'll as in the entire
anthracite.

Flashes From the Recruiting
Drive Front

The City of Philadelphia challenges the City
of Cleveland, of their membership quotas that
Philadelphia will recruit 50 Negro workers
quicker than Cleveland.
Waterbury challenges Akron, Ohio, for
stronger Communist foothold in the ranks of
the brass workers of Waterbury, than they will
get in the ranks of the rubber workers of
Akron.
Fourteen of the 26 new members recruited
during the first week in Detroit were taken
in at large mass meeting held in connection
with the Haiti and Manchurian events.
Detroit is selling 500 copies of the Daily
Worker every day. They expect to raise this
to 1000 copies daily very soon. Other cities
should accept the gauntlet thrown down by
Detroit.
Of the Sc new members recruited in Phila-
delphia district the first week. were from
Chester from the Anthracite and "a from
Philadelphia.
IN connection with the membership drive,
Chicago is simultaneously toughening up and
improving its entire organization apparatus,
An outstanding shortcoming in the Party is
poor attendance at meetings A registration
was taken at recent membership meeting call
ed for the drive, and the results show: Sec
ton 2, IS per cent of membership present;
Section g. So per cent of membership present;
Section 4, So per cent of membership present
and Section 5, 81 per cent of membership pres
ent.
Nine new members were recruited in Frisco
at the Party demonstration against the Slim
son Note and the defense of the Soviet Union.

Unionism in Southern Textiles
By MYRA PAGE.
(Continued)

Discomfort of mill workers with their lot has
been seeking active outlet. Recognizing their
position as wage-earners, they have begun to
act accordingly. Ever since the textile indus
try has been we'll established in the South
there have been intermittent union campaigns
there. Usually these organizing efforts have
been initiated by spontaneous strike move
ments among southern textile workers, with
national union then coming into the field. In
consequence, union efforts have often been
rather sporadic and poorly organized Also
company opposition has been ruthless. Never
theless, in nearly one-half of a century of
struggles, this section of the American work
ing class has shown itself capable of a cour-
age, sacrifice, leadership and endurance that
speaks we'll for the determination of southern
mill hands to conquer all difficulties and
build their union movement.
The first union efforts began in the late
eighties, when the knights of Labor led few
strikes in Carolina and Georgia cotton mills.
But these strikes were nsufficently organ
lied, local in character and occurred at per-
iod when the Knights of Labor was in too
weakened condition to give adequate support.
In 1891 the National Union of Textile Workers
was formed, with a large membership, both
North and South. It's outlook was definitely
socialistic. Affiliation to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor was soon effected. The forty
southern locals with their many thousands of
members took an active part in this new in
dustral union. A Georgia operative was
elected president. Organization was pushed,
and many strikes occurred to enforce demands
relating to union recognition, higher wages,
a ten hour day AMI improved working condi-
tions. The A. F. of L. was appealed to, but
little aid was forthcoming. For example, in
1900, the National Union of Textile Workers
representatives to the A. F. of L. convention
reported on the deplorabe labor conditions
existing in the South and the mill workers
willingness to struggle for improvements and
union recognition Strikes were then in pro-
gress in Augusta, Georgia, and various other
centers. Although resolution was passed by
the convention calling for organization work

AND LABOR

in the South, the only practical action taken
was appointment of two organizers to aid the
textile union in this field, and paltry sum
of five hundred dollars appropriated.
In 1901 the National Union of Textile Work
ers was merged with the United Textile WORE.
ers, new organization fathered by the A. r.
of L. executive and controlled by unambitious
craft bodies. Evidently the influence Of the
southern militant section was eliminated by
this reorganization, for the record shows that
at this time all outside support was with
drawn from the southern mill workers, and
they Wee eft to struggle alone for better con-
ditions. With the companies using all the
weapons at their disposal against the strikers
the southern branch of the union virtually dis
appeared in series of harsh defeats. From
this period until 1914 the record of the U.
W. in the South was one of repeated failures
Periodically, southern mill hands, goaded be-
yond endurance, would plunge into struggles,
and appeal to the U. T. W. for aid. A charter
would be granted, dues colected-and the
workers, given little or no organizational and
financial aid, would find themselves within
few months again without an organization and
conditions unbearable. The company fired
local union leaders, Disseminated against
union members and drove them from the viii
lage. This story repeats itself again and again.
during this decade, only to disappear. The
union national executive formulated no general
program of organization in the south, nor in
the country as a whole. Neither did the
executive make any effort to spread the union
izing campaigns initiated by southern workers
over a wider area. A branch office of the
union was kept in Charlotte, N. c., during part
of this period, but its activities consisted main
ly in filling out charter forms for local groups
of workmen demanding them, and handling
dues stamps. Evidently the U. T. w. felt no
interest in southern textile operatives, for they
were too poorly paid to be much of finan-
cial asset to the union. The U. T.. WIS con-
stituent craft bodies catered to New England
skilled operatives and left the less skilled, both
north and south, to shuttle for themselves
Furthermore, the industrial, militant charac-
ter of southern workers attempts at union
ism did not fit into the conservative, craft type
of unionism which the U. T. w. sponsored.

n. Y. Wins 70 New Members,
First Week

The first week of the recruiting drive in
New York brought a total of IS new members
of which Is were Negro workers.
The carrying out of the decision for the
developing of a number of new shop papers has
also been begun with the establishing of the
Western Elecric Worker. This factory is in
basic war industry, employing over 1000
workers including many youth, women and
some Negro workers.
The pamphlet "Why Every Worker Should
Join the Communist Party had sales for the
first week of GAIT. Over 1000 were already
issued and undoubtedly many more were sold
but not accounted for to the District Office.
The District has not yet begun to make good
on the organization of shop nuclei, but we hope
next week to be able to announce results on
this as well.

Pravda Castigates ''Peace

MOSCOW (By MaD.-Dealng with the in

operations upon the territory of a foreign
State which is member of the League of
Nations and which has signed the Kellogg

cording to the short and incomplete reports
to hand, the instruction in Haiti would seem
to be directed against American Imperialism.
The United States capitalists who have prac-
ticay taken possession of Haiti are not con-
tent with the fact that the natives of Haiti
are compelled to work for starvation wages on
the plantations, and the government of Haiti,
which is in the pockets of the American i'm
perialists is preparing a law to drive the
native peasants from their land and to make

development is 81 times greater than that of
England
The transition from the capitalist methods

At this speed we shall be able to record by

Swedish Renegades Work With
Police Against Communist
Congress

STOCKHOLM (By MaiD.-The representa-
tive of the Communist Party of Norway at the
eighth congress of the Swedish Communist
Party, Arvd Hansen, was arrested by the
police. The arrest was the immediate result
of denunciation published in the organ of
the Swedish renegades, "Folkets Dagblad" The
police declared that Comrade Hansen was the
representative of the Executive Committee of
the Communist International. AS matter of
fact, this is not true, for Comrade Hansen
represents only the Norwegian Communist Par.
ty. The reason for the police action is that
for weeks "Folkets Dagblad' has denounced
him the representative of the E. c. of the
C. L.
The arrest of Comrade Arvid Hansen, the
representative of the Communist Party of
Norway at the eighth congress Of the Swedish
G. p. aroused Indignation amongst the dele
gates. The congress adopted resolution of
protest against the arrest and demanded Com
rade Hansen's release. The police are furious
at their failure to secure the representative of
the E. c. of the G. 1. and today arrested
number of Swedish comrades delegates to the
congress, who looked like foreigners, or at
least, the police thought they did. These ridc-
ulous attempts of the police to save their repu-
tation caused much laughter amongst the dele
gates. Police spies swarm in. the neighbor-
hood Of the congress hall and do not tire Of
asking with assumed innocence where the Ger
man delegate Mueller can be found. Whilst
the police are searching for the representative
Of the E. C. Of the C. I. numerous foreign
comrades are taking part in the congress de-
bates, including several representatives of the

When shall we catch up with the United
States in the production of coal and metal, in
the consumption of electric energy? The cal
culatons of our planned economy experts re-
ply to this question as follows: By the end of
the five years the industrial production of the
Soviet Union will reached the level of
France and England, but will still be below
the level Of Germany and the United States.
By the enl Of a decade we shall have over
taken France and England and perhaps Ger
many, but shall still be behind the United
States.
BY the enc of the thrd five-year period,
prov ed the economic development of the
Soviet Urion is not hindcred by war or block

trial development of the ted S'~'cs. and
by the four .,e-year period we shall outstrip
it.

Taking the tempo as standard we are in
advance everywhere; but the absolute figures
of production show for the close of the five
year period (1933) the United States consid-
eraby ahead, as may be seen by the following
comparison:
