on which we seven were railroaded.
1t is.a maneuver to put Saylors out
of the way because of his testimony
that Carpenter and Bulwinkle led
the flogging mob Of black hundreds
that kidnapped Cliff, Ben Wallis and
Lell.
Carter, in no uncertain terms,
scored the treacherous lawyers,
Unison and Abernethy, for their
selling out to the mill owners and
preventing the release Of the seven
workers.
Carter pointed out the need of
The Daily Worker for the Southern
workers, and told Of the big part
it has and is playing in awakening
these workers to the class struggle.
He urged all workers to aid The
Daily Worker, as the organ Of the
Communist Party, an organ which
will serve to bring thousands of
Southern workers into the National
Textile Workers Union, the other
militant unions and into the Com
munist Party.
Carter and others of the Gastonia
seven will be delegates to both the
National Textile Workers Union in
Paterson on December 20 and Fl and
that of the International Labor De-
Tense in Pittsburgh on December 20
to 81.

Automobile output is at a virtual
standstill. In all these industries
thousands of workers are being laid
off daily.
In the steel mills, some of the
workers are kept on the job on part
time, at wages steeply reduced.
This is the first step towards the
nationwide wage-cutting attacks to
be launched by the United Chamber
of Commences semi-fascist organ
ization.
A severe depression in the anthra-
cite coal industry was brought to
the attention of Hoover and Lamont
by the Anthracite Cooperative As
ISOLATION Of Pennsylvania, headed
by Roy C. Haines, an organization
of mine owners.
Haines reported mines closing
down and predicted one of the most
severe sIumps in the anthracite mine
industry.
He asked Hoover to speed-up his
fake building program in order to
help pull the anthracite industry out
Of the morass.
The Hoover Lovestone theory
about the soundness of American
imperialist economy is crumbling
amid the ruins of rapidly declining
production and growing unemploy-
ment.
Out of the sharp depression will
grow gigantic class battles. Already
the working class is resisting the
onslaughts on their standard of liv-
ing. Hoover and his gang of ex-
perts, with special government
functions, cannot stop the severe
crisis as quickly as they hope to
even by drastic measures against
the American toilers. The crisis in
American industry is part Of the
world crisis of capitalism.

Shoe Boss Boasts of

7ers Police Raid

The employer at the La Vale
Shop has had printed in the Italian
"Curriere D'America" an article
linking himself with the Department
of Labor in Washington. He point
ed out that Mr.. Woods has advised
him to break relations with the Inde-
pendent Shoe Workers Union be-
cause 1t is Communist organiza-
ton" At the same time he en-
ploys gangsters and police for the
purpose Of breaking the strike in
his shop. Copies of the Italian fas-
cist paper mentioned above he sent
to the homes of every striker in his
shop.
From very reliable sources the
Independent Shoe Workers Union is
getting information that since La
Vale cannot produce any shoes with
the few scabs that he managed to
persuade, he proposed to pay them
$25 and SIS for hanging around the
shop.
Reports are circulated in the
Brooklyn locked-out district that the
bosses demand that the police raid

fighting shoe workers.

its assistance in this struggle.
Clarence Miller, William McGin-
mis-, two of the Gastonia defendants,
were present at the convention.
Comrade Fishman opened the con-
vention. Irving Potash spoke on
the Mineola case. The convention
decided to launch a drive on the
Mineola case, as well as to press
the Illinois miners defense, and the
Gastonia case. Stress was laid on
the local struggles growing out Of
the strikes.
Resolutions were passed support
ing the Haitian revolution and ex-
pressing unity with the striking ILL
nois miners. A resolution Of greet
ings was sent to Salvatore Accorsi.
Revolutionary greetings were sent
through Mario Gilletti who is being
deported to the Soviet Union, after
the LID. was able to thwart the
attempt to deport him to fascist
Italy. Greeting was sent to all class
war prisoners. A resolution for the
defense of the Soviet Union and
against the war danger was passed.
Three delegates were elected to
the national convention. The dele
gates were: Lewis, Negro member
of the Window Cleaners Union;
Buckley Of the Independent Shoe
Makers Union, and Nesin, New York
district organizer Of the LID.
An executive committee of 20 was

more rapid development Of industry
and the expansion of our national
economy as a whole and offers end
less opportunities for effecting a
very considerable expansion of. our
country's productive forces. The
continuous week will also cheaper
the cost of production, as much ex-
penditure will be reduced on the
unit of production. In addition, the
more rapid use of machinery and
equipment will cheaper amortizza-
ton and will make it possible to in
troduce new and more perfect tech
nical equipment into industry at
speedier rate.
Further, the continuous week will
require a considerable increase in
the number of workers employed in
production. Preliminary calcula-
tions indicate that on the five-day
week 25 per cent more workers will
be required; on the six-day week,
20 per cent; and on the seven-day
week, COG per cent. This means
that the amount of labor power en-
ployed will increase by about one
fifth. Hundreds of thousands of
workers will be absorbed into pro-
duction and thus considerably re-
duce the numbers of the unemployed.
And since the recruiting of new
workers priority consideration will
be given to the children of work
ers, the advantages of the continu-
Gus week for the working class will
become still more palpable.

Red Rust' Obems Tomorrow
NIGHT at the Martin Beck

This being tie week before Christ
mas, matters theatrical are rather
weak along Broadway, and so we
have but three openings, compared
to the list of some II or more listed
for next week.
The outstanding event Of the new
openings is, of course, the play,
RED Rust" from Soviet Russia,
the joint effort of Kirchon and
Ouspensky, two writer's we'll known
among the young writer's of the So
Wet Republic. The play will be pre-
sented by the Theatre Guild Studio,
a new group formed by the Guild,
on Tuesday night, at the Martin
Beck Theatre.
The cast is headed by Herbert J.
Biberman, Gale Sondergaard, Fran
chot Tone, Eunice Stoddard, Luther
Adler, Ackland Powell and William
Challoo. "Red Rust" which is an
nounced as dramtic panorama of
modern Russian life, was produced
at the Moscow State Proletarian
Theatre in 1927.
Two other plays scheduled will
have their first showing at the end
of the week on Saturday night.
These include the Sidney Howard
opus and the return of William
Hodge to Broadway.
On Saturday evening Arthur Hop
kins will present Sidney Towards
new play, "Half Gods" at the Plym-
outh Theatre. Among Towards
previous plays may be mentioned
They knew What They Wanted"
which won the Pulitzer Prize some
seasons back. "Ned McCobb's
Daughter" and "The Silver Cord"
The cast will include Mayo Met
hot, Dorothy Sands, Laura Hamil-
ton, Elizabeth Goodyear, Dom Cook,
Siegfried Rumann and Walter Wal
ker.
William Hodge will be seen at the
Bijou Theatre beginning Saturday
evening, December 81, in new play,
Inspector Kennedy" by Milton
Herbert Chopper and Edna Sherry.

From this table we see that in all
cases the annual total of working
hours is increased by a very large
percentage indeed, and thanks to the
increase in the number of rest-days
per year by twelve with a five-day
week. and by eleven ION the six and
seven-day weekly per year the gain
works out ION an eight-hour work
ing day., at So to 72 hours. There
is no doubt that such balance of
working hours is an advantage, quite
apart from the fact that the more
frequent off-days for the worker
undoubtedly make his labor con-
siderably easier. 1t is true that in
stead of his old AZ hours of I'M
broken rest will will now get forty
ION an eight-hour day., but this is
made up for by the fact that
he will have his day of rest after
AZ hours of work and not after as
hours, as has been the case up to
now.
But the advantages of the con-
tinuous week do not stop at that as
far as the working class is con-
cerned. The opportunity thus af-
forded Of making full use of all ma
throughout the whole year
will render it possible to increase
our total annual production by an
average Of 20 per cent. Already in
the present fiscal year of 1929-30,
when the continuous week is only in
its beginning, we will obtain five
per cent extra production. In this
wise the continuous working week
opens up boundless vistas for the

DROP IN PRODUCTION AND GROWTH OF
UNEMPL OYMENT SHOW HOOVER LIES
Crisis Reaches Level of 1919 when 100000 Jobess Tramped
Streets; Wage-Cut Plans Started Workers Resist

A tremendous drop in freight-car
loadings gives the lie to all the pros
perity bunk of Hoover, Barnes, La
mont and Green.
There was a decrease of more
than $4,000 cars in one week below
1927 and 1928.
This means that $4,000 cars of
commodities less were manufac-
tured and shipped in the United
States than in any year except 1920,
when severe depression reigned
A financial writer in the "New
York Times" says:
"For November as a whole the
crease from last year was 5 per
cent, and the important aspect of
the change was the fact that it
occurred mostly in miscellaneous
freight and general merchandise
whose movement has been apt
to measure the actual course of
trade. The returns of December
traffic will now take on added in
terest. Ever since the war the
larger variations of the carload
ing returns have correctly reflect
ed important variations in the
state of trade"
This indicates that unemployment
throughout the country is severe.
With production dropping to the
figures of the sharp depression of
1921, when 100000 workers
were unemployed, the unemploy-
ment program of the Communist
Party assumes first place of impor-
lance.
Production of steel has fallen be-
low 60 per cent Of capacity in such
districts as Chicago and
Pittsburgh. In Buffalo and Youngs-
town production is below 40 per
cent.
