Harold G.. Aron, candidate for
comptroller on the LaGuardia re-
publican ticket, at a meeting Mon
day before the Near East Repub-

be a detailed survey of the duties

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Pres-
ident Hoover entered the tariff
fight for the first time as the senate
began consideration of the flexible
provisions. His statement, the first
he has issued on the tariff since
the house took up the bill in April,
was designed to bolster up admins

democrats and western republicans
who are seeking to wipe out the
provisions that permit the chief ex-
ecutive to raise or lower tariff
schedules so per cent without the
approval of congress.

1t is necessary for the efficient
functioning of the tariff as a
weapon against other powers and as

The reaction of the workers
to the terror has been favor
able to the union, and there
fore other measures must be
taken, he implied broadly.
Stuart Cramer Baron of the
model mill village" of Cramerton
is hailed as an enlightened employ
er" of the textile industry-one of
those who try to bribe his slaves
with paternalistic welfare schemes.
He said that the conference of mill
bosses with the governor had laid
plans which they hoped would "pre-
vent further violence which places
the Communists in the position of
martyrs and gives them advertis-
ing"
Cramer further stated that the
bosses would pass the word
around" that the reign of terror had
failed in its purpose and other
measures would be taken to stop
the activities of the N. T. w. and
drive it out of the South. .
Eve discussed every phase of the
subject, including legislative action,
terrorism and martial law" Cramer
stated. He added that the governor
decided not to declare martial law
FOR political reasons but would re-
sort to this if other measures fail.
eve do not want to call a special
session of the legislature if we can
restore peace without it," said
Cramer, pointing out the lack of
anti-Communist legislation at pres
ent. mo law exists on North Caro-
lima books by which an officer can
legally stop meeting of the Com
munists," he complained and added
that if any further violence occurred
it would give the necessary excuse
to call special session to pass
drastic legislation legahzing the
suppression of all rights of workers.
Thus the state comes out even
iiiOIC OPSily dS d government QOm-
mated by the mill owners utilizing
its power without apology, and in
poorly camouflaged manner against
workers organizations. The power
of the mill bosses and the state is
being openly consolidated for action
against the union that is leading
the southern textile workers against
the stretch-out system, the starva-
tion wages and child labor. An edi-
torial in Fridays issue of the Manu-
facturers' Record of Baltimore
called legal methods" more effec-
tive than violence.

COMMUNISTS IN
PACKED MEETING
DISCUSS TASKS
Weinstone Reports on
Decisions of Tenth
Plenum of E.C.C.I.
Oppose Right Danger
OverwhelmingVote for
Militant Action

Communist Party members crowd
ed into Webster Hall, last night,
jamming all available floor space
to hear William W. Weinstone,
Secretary of District 2, report in
full on the situation facing the
working class in this period of the
rising militancy of labor, of ration
alization, of government persecution
and the war danger.
The meeting last night was for
members only, and one of the prin-
ciple subjects under discussion was
the treachery of the international
right wing, and of its American Sec
tion, the Lovestone group.
The meeting was opened by
Stachel, as chairman, who intro
duced Weinstone, for report of
an hour and a half, to be followed
by questions. 1t was planned to
close discussion at 11.45, and vote
no resolutino endorsing the analy-
sis of the Tenth Plenum of the
Executive Committee of the Com
munist International and all of its
decisions for militant struggle, ex-
actly the points on which Lovestone
and his followers left the Comm
tern, and began to wage war against
it, effectively uniting for that pur-
pose with all other enemies of Com
munism.
The voting was too late to be re-
ported in this issue of the Daily
Worker.
Up to a late hour last night, no
evidence of concealed opposition mad
appeared. 1t is absolutely certain
that the resolution will be adopted
by an overwhelming majoriyt, If
not unanimously.
Weinstone's speech will be given
more fully in next issue of the
Daily Worker, as it could not be
fully reported last night, but the
speaker stressed as main points the
tasks facing the Communist Party
of America as result of the de-
velopment of events in the Third
Period.
He called attention to the events
since the Sixth World Congress,
proving the correctness of the de-
cisions of the Congress, that in
tensified exploitation, the drive to-
ward new imperialist wars, the
capitalist menace to the Soviet
Union, all were bringing on g
sharpening of class consciousness
on the part of the workers all over
the world, without exception, and
a created tendency to resist.
Weinstone showed how Thai
heimer, Humbert-Droz and other
right wingers, including Lovestone
make out a theory of capitalist
stability, trying thereby to prevent
the militancy of the workers.
He told of Vargas theory, that
the antagonism of the United States
and Britain will not deepen, ano
pointed out, not only the refutatior
logically, at the Plenum, but the
events of the Hague conference or
the Young Plan, where this an
taeonism took a sharp form, as also
in the failure to agree on cruiser
parity, and other cases of conflict
since the Plenum adjourned.
Considerable time was spent oI
