Criticize Errors of Red

BERLIN, Nov. 4.-The revolution
airy opposition has called off the
metal workers strike. A number of
factories where victimization was
carried out are still on strike. The
employers are victimizing hundreds
of revolutionaries with the consent
and assistance of the reforniSt trade
union leaders.
Today's Rote Fahne, Communist
newspaper, declares that the lessons
of the strike demand that the work.

airy union opposition. Members of
the opposition committed both right

before the reformist officials; others
failed to draw socialist workers into
the revolutionary strike committees
where possible.
Pravda expresses approval of the
formation of a revolutionary metal
workers union.

IS PER CENT OF PAPERS
IN ST. PAUL ARE SOLD

From St Paul, Mimi, we hear from Gus Skan-
dera, Daily Worker representative He sends
in detailed report of the sort we want each
week from all Daily Worker reps The report
shows that over rs per cent of all papers re-
ceived in st. Paul are sold at factories from
house to house or at meetings
Skandera goes on to say:
Il must state that during the month OF Oc-
tober up to now a decrease in sales is noticed
in view of less street meetings on account of the
cold weather and also drop in sales at factory
gates on account of the weather and many
lay-offs.
"AIso bundles we're received very irreguIarly
two issues coming every other day and we
found it hard to sell two copies at one time.
"On Sunday, Nov. 2, there will be held
Daily Worker agents meeting to mobilize the
Party membership for the drive and take up
the question of arranging dance and
bazaar to wipe off the old debts to the Daily
Worker and give more power to the Daily"
The Daily Worker is making every effort to
get regular delivery. We want reports on de-
livery. II must be remembered the Daily Worker
has problems which do not apply to capitalist
papers one being a shortage of money which
sometimes makes itself felt in delayed editions

SOCIALISTS BETRAY METAL STRIKE;
ROTE FAHNE CALLS FOR RED UNIONS
NATURALIZATION CAUSE
OF GERMAN MINE DEATHS

BERLIN.-"Rote Fahne" declares
that the murderous system of capital
ist naturalization demands continual
victims from amongst the ranks of
the working class. A little while ago
ISL miners we're killed in the Neurode
disaster and now again over 200
miners have been sacrificed to cap
italist profit. The disaster in Aachen
is the result of capitalist rationale
cation Fire-damp was the cause of
the catastrophe and not the eXplo-
sion of the dynamite supplies as at
first reported. Fourteen per cent divt-
dends to the owners; over 200 corpses
of breadwinners for the workers.
That is the balance of capitalist
naturalization in the Eschweil mines
The reformist trade union leaders
and the social democratic party have
supported the murderous system of
capitalist naturalization and are re-
sponsible for its consequences. With
bitter hatred for the murderers the
German proletariat stands bare
headed before the mutilated bodies
OF its Aachen fellow workers.
The Central Strike Committee OF
the Berlin metal workers has sent q
message of solidarity and sympathy
to the Aachen organization of the
revolutionary trade union opposition
The committee appeals to all Ger
man workers to rally to the revolu-
tionary T.U. opposition in a struggle
for the extension of labor protection

China Extend
War on SOUtets

After a conference with his imper-
ialist masters, Chang Kai Shek, ac-
cording to an Associated Press dis
patch from Shanghai is mobillzing
his troops to fight against Communist
forces in Human and Kiangsi.
The capitalist press publishes ex-
aggerated figures of the armies"
that the bourgeois lackeys are send
ing against the Soviet territories.
Several gunboats, says the cable, were
dispatched into the inland waters OF
Poyang Lake, Kiangsi and Tungtlng
Lake, Hunana, around the boarders
o. which the Reds have been active"
The sudden movement of Chang
Kai Shek's troops comedies with the
vast preparations for the coming
Soviet Congress, to be held on Dec.
18th, at which time it is contemplated
to consolidate the gains of the Red
armies in Kiangsi and Human.
The capitalist press claims that 35,-
900 soldiers had already passed
through Hankow against the Com
munists, while 10000 were supposed
to be on their way to Kiangsi,
through Kiukiang and smaller cities
further up the Yangtse River.
At the same time, the cable re-
ports that Communist forces CON
tinue firmly in control, while along
the Yangtse River Communist bat
teries continued to attack passing
ships with ever -increasing severity"
There is little doubt that with the
stimulation of imperialist funds, the
Chang Kai Shek government is
undertaking the hangnlan's work.
The reports of the tremendous move
ment of troops is extremely exagger-
ated, as the difficulties between the
various militarists, representing the
conflicting imperialist forces are by
no means solved. However, Chang
Kai-shek is trying to give his mas
tiers the impression that he has the
upper hand.
Severe battles will undoubtedly
follow, in which the imperialists will
give full aid to the Chinece exploit
ers. The workers must be aroused
for full support of the Chinese
masses in their fight against imper-
ialism and it's Chinese tools.

CHICAGO, Ill. - The millinery
workers today are forced to work
five to seven days a week for SAL
airy of five to seven dollars.
The bosses get maximum profits
by paying piece work. Sometimes
when there is a lack of hats the
workers have to wait all day to re-
ceive work, getting nothing for the
time wasted. At times when little
work is done they receive as low as
twenty-five cents day.
Work Overtime.
At other times when the order is
little larger than usual they are
told to work overtime at straight

NEW YORK. - After looking for
work about eight months I finally
got a job working as seaman aboard
the S. S. Sybillia III, private pleas
ure yacht owned by Mr.. F. Betz, a
millionaire eXploiter of Philadelphia.
I was paid eighty dollars a month
We worked as high as seventeen hrs
a day and never under twelve hours.
Each morning everything had to be
cleaned spic and span and we had
to be very quiet so as not to wake
the owner and his guests as they
always slept until about ten O'Clock.
Drink Day and Night.
They (the boss and his guests)
were drunk night and day and every
time we docked they would go ashore
and the crew would sometimes have
to stay awake until two O'Clock in
the morning waiting for them.
While there is prohibition for the
workingman these people had every
imaginable drink known. 1 often
found myself contrasting this luxuri-
GUS waste with the millions of work
ingmen standing in breadlines for
a stale hunk of bread and watery
coffee.
Fight These Degenerates.
One steward quit and another
hired to take his place, forgot to
pour the drinks with napkin on
the bottle and was fired.
There was so much whiskey aboard
that when we we're cleaning up we
often found quarts of Johnny Walker
lying on the floors and lunges.
Join the Communist Party and
fight these degenerate parasites who
produce nothing, yet have everything
and look on workingmen as buns.

Consul, who would have put them in
a hospital, but as this would have
forced the boat to wait for them or
put up bond to cover their wages
and expenses back to the states, the
men were against this. They knew
that Mr.. Carter would not put up
the bond but would use the case as
his long sought for opportunity to
hold up the boat indefinitely. So,
although the men were suffering
terribly they went back aboard. They
underwent the most terrible suffer-
ing rather than afford Carter the
opportunity to hold the vessel. And
in the meantime, Carter was sending
cables to New York every day incit-
ing the members there against the
crew!

Carter collected more money. We
now thought he would return straight

the story properly treated, for on
the direct opposite page of the same
newspaper was a picture far more
conspicuous than the screaming

photograph of an actual bread line

lean bread line.
Where Are Low Wages Paid?
Whether the contrast in the word
picture OF bread lines by a disap-
pointed seeker of Russian favors and
the actual picture of an American
bread line struck home or not, the
remarks of Eisler regarding low wag-
es paid TO the Russian workers most
surely would, because he is known to
pay the employees in his plant a
starting wage as low as 25 cents an
hour. while experienced men receive
only IS cents an hour. Besides the
