down. We will not comment on this fact now,
but will wait for results of the next week.
The results are not good but every district
has still time to improve its results. The
splendid enthusiasm shown at membership

functionaries Every District Committee is
made responsible at once to control how deci-

the section committees and unit leaders. The

Districts are handicapped but they will be

Hoffman concludes his story of developments
with description of his kidnapping by q
masked mob of local real estate men, who saw
their boom of Ezabethton as fine industrial
center, with plentiful supply of cheap, docile
labor, doomed by the strike. Hoffman was
quite indignant over the business means mis-
taking him for labor agitator and motivating
force in the strike, when he had been trying
always to play the role of peacemaker. After
this incident, the local workers formed an
armed guard for Hoffman and McGrady. The
strike continued for seven more weeks, the
operatives refusing to go back into the mills
until the company had conceded to their de-
mands. Glanzstoff- Bemberg Corporation en-
ployed all the usual methods of armed force,
evictions, arrests, withdrawal of credit at the
company store, and intimidation. One of the
local strike leaders home was dynamited and
completely destroyed. The family only escaped
through not being at home when the explosion
occurred. The workers had to depend primarily
on themselves for relief since the U. T. W.
offered almost no aid and the sums collected
by volunteer committees were insufficient to
meet the need Many families, in order to
obtain food, had to return to their mountain
farming In consequence, when the sudden
news came that the strike was to be settled,
and meeting on May Is was called to ratify
the agreement, only 1000 of the $500 strikers
were on hand to vote on the question. The
peace terms" had been secured by the Labor
Departments mediator and a committee of
five workers. This committee had not been
elected democraticaly by the strikers, but had
been chosen by U.T.W. organizers. The terms
offered by the mill owners were real:
/. All employees were to register immedi-
ately.

The first weekly report in the Daily Worker
was 270 new members; this week are able
to report only POT. This means that all the
raising of quotas by our districts was irrespon-
sible Dragging with no serious attempt to carry
them thru. Only two districts have improved
their recruiting since last week: Detroit and
California Detroit from 26 new members last
week to 81 this week; California from 80 to So.
Our districts in Buffalo, Dakotas and Seattle
have not even started the membership drive
They seem to forget that they are a part of
the Communist Party-but they still have time
to save themselves.
This week, Boston az, Pittsburgh a. Kan
sas City (5) report activity showing no cam
paigning but just ordinary recruiting work
going on in the district. The Party cannot
tolerate such an attitude towards one of its
most important campaigns.
Philadelphia is the leading district in per-
centage: % per cent of quota filled, next
comes California 20 per cent and third Detroit
with ia per cent.
Regarding revolutionary competition: Chi
cago is above New York in new members
(13i9 per cent against 1870 per cent? but New
York leads Chicago in securing more Negro
workers (23 against 81. Detroit is leading
Philadelphia on all fields, in spite of the lat
ter's brave fight. Buffalo challenged Con-
necticut-but has not made good far. On
all fields Cleveland has lost miserably against
Detroit, and Detroit triumphs splendidy over
Pittsburgh Boston has challenged California
and beaten it in new shop nuclei, but is far
behind on the other fields.
We have now about 600 new members in
the Party. We expect to find soon in the
Party Life" column short articles informing
the Party what the sections are doing to keep
the new members in the Party. This is a very
important phase of the campaign and it must

THE Convention of the National Textile Work
ers Union held at Paterson, N. j. Decem-
Der q and % must be put down without a
doubt as a significant gathering of militant
workers to organize and consolidate their
forces for struggle. The keynote of program
laid down was one of militant struggle thru
out The industry.
Conditions Leading to Struggle.
What has determined this program of strug-
gle? Complete chaos throughout the whole tex
tile industry, disorganization of the industry
in the North and East resulting in mass I'M
employment, wage cuts and the most terrific
speed-up systems, the stretch-out and ration
alization and long hours of work have been
the determining factors leading to struggle.
This condition expresses itself in the crassest
form in the South where low wages. the
stretch-out and naturalization has produced
absolute poverty and unheard of conditions of
exhaustion from the speed-up and has led to
widespread revolt of the Southern workers
who are showing greater determination for
struggle
Conditions in the South can only be compared
to the conditions of the Indian and Chinese
workers in which imperialist exploitation has
kept them down to the most detected condi-
tions At the same time in the South the
Negro and white workers are kept apart by
the bosses who eternally keep up predu-
dices and race antagonisms in order to more
easily exploit both. At the slightest attempt
to unity the workers these prejudices are raised
to white heat by the capitalist press and CAPT
talist agents Both the Negro and white work
ers of the South are awakening.
Southern White Delegates Answer the Bosses.
How did the convention meet the situation?
Every delegate showed will to struggle! The
most significant thing was the fact that the
delegates were rank and file workers from the
factories who expressed real determination
to struggle The frankness with which the
delegates from the South expressed themselves

THE settlement of the question of the Chi
i nese Eastern Railway signifies great
victory of the proletarian dictatorship over
world imperialism and its lackey, the Chinese
Kuomintang miltarists.
The Soviet Union, the socialist fatherland
of the toilers of all the world and the citadel
of world revolution, not long ago, with the
revolving pressure of the British Workers, de-
feated the imperialist intrigues of the social
fascist Macdonald government, and finally
compelled it to restore diplomatic relations
with the Soviet Union before taking up the
disputed questions.
Today, Chinese militarists, backed up by
world imperialism especially American impe-
rialism, after months of military attacks,
financial supply, and diplomatic intrigues, have
to accept the very same just but firm demands
of the Soviet Union World imperialism CAPT
tulated to world revolution.
INTERNATIONAL CLASS BATTLE
The "Sino-Soviet crisis" is an international
battle between two international forces: on the
one side stands the Soviet Union, the workers
in the imperialist countries and the oppressed
masses in the colonial and semi-colonial coun-
tries; on the other side, world Imperialism,
and all its tools from Chinese miltarists to
international social fascism. 1t is a prelimin-
airy "skirmish" of these two opposing forces
testing their respective strength and reorgan-
izng their ranks. Therefore the victory of the
Soviet Union over the Chinese militarists and
imperialism is of tremendous importance and
significance to the international proletariat.
This victory must be inseparably understood
with the successful execution of the great Five
Year Plan. 1t would be criminally opportun-
istic to underestimate this decisive victory and
to refuse to draw feminist conclusions from it.
The raid on the Chinese Eastern Railway in
July by the Chinese Kuomintang generals is
a further systematic and intensified attack of
world capital against the Soviet Union as
result of the accentuaton of the general crisis
of world capitalism and the victorious carry
ing out of the proletarian offensive-the Five
Year Plan--in the Soviet Union Prior and
during the raid world Imperialism was very
busy to expand and strengthen the Anti-Soviet
block: the formation of mitarst alliances
among the Balkan fascist states, the adoption
of the Young Plan, and also the Hague con-
ference wh;>i meant the definite western"
orientation or the entering into the anti-Soviet
front of the German bourgeoisie under the
leadership of the social-fascist Mueller govern
ment. All these, together with events in
Afghanistan and the plan of American imperial
ism to strengthen its puppet, Chang Kai-shek,
in order to get the hegemony in the anti-Soviet
bloc, precpitated the continuous provocative
actions of world imperialism and eliminated
in an international armed attack on the USSR.
Thus, the Chinese Kuomintang militarists,

with view of establishing closer contact with

and unity with the Haitian workers in their
struggle against American Imperialism, and
also sent greetings to the workers of the Soviet
Union.
