freed on charges of "inciting the

Both workers came originally
from that part of the Austro-Hun-

Tried to Break Textile
Organization Meeting

PATERSON, N. j., Jan. 22.--
Workers at the Textile Dye Com
pany today wrathfully forced the
boss to put down a gun with which
he was threatening the organizer
of the National Textile Workers and
the members of the joint committee
of the union and the unemployed
council which was distributing leaf.
lets. The boss had to retreat back
to his office and the committee and
organizer went on with their work.
The National Textile Workers
Union is now carrying on an in
tensive campaign among the dye
workers of Paterson and among all
silk workers, for the preparation
and organization of the national silk
strike, to be called shortly. 1t is
organizing large committees of union
members to go out every morning at
$50 and o'clock to the big dye
houses where there are hundreds of
workers waiting for jobs. The COM
mittees hold open air meetings with
them. This work is being done by
the N.T.W.U. in conjunction with
the unemployed council of Paterson.
Refuse to Stop.
This morning large committee
went down to the Textile Dye Com
pany and began distributing leaflets.
The boss came out and pushed them
out of the grounds and said that
they could not distribute leaflets
there. The workers insisted that
the organizing go on and the organ
izer of the union here began to de-
liver a talk, whereupon one of the
bosses came out with a pistol and
began pointing it at the one who
distributed the literature and at the
organizer who spoke.
All the workers that were there,
the whole mass Of workers were with
the committee, dared him to shoot,
whereupon he retreated to the Of
flee and the committee finished dis
tributing the literature at the meets
ing. This was one of the most eff
fective demonstrations held so far
in Paterson in preparation of the
strike.

in THE BASIC INDUSTRIES;
AUTOOUTPUI DOWN $50
Dept. of Labor Admits Growing Unemployment
in All Jersey Cities
Over 100000 Workers in Reactionary Trade
Unions Are Jobless
BULLETIN.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Unem-
ployment in New York State is
more serious than at any time
since the severe crisis of 1914, said
Frances Perkins, State industrial
commissioner, today. This is one of
the many facts which gives the lie
to Hoover's Statement that en-
ployment had been increasing
since December 25.
Reports of half of the LOO
firms with which we are in touch
indicate that unemployment in this
State in the first two weeks of
January was the worst period
since last October" Miss Perkins
said.
Statistics of half of the LOO
firms showed decreases, in en-
ployment for seven of eleven
major industries. They represent
a normal payroll of 100000 work
ers, which is today but 100000,
Miss Perkins pointed out. On
figures computed by the Daily
Worker there are more than $780,
600 unemployed in the State of
New York.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Thc
day following the announcement b!
Hoover and Secretary of Labo
Davis, that employment was in

issued report saying that "a sharl
recession in employment in New
Jersey during the end of last yea,
was noted by the Department of La
bor.' Practically every line of in
dustry in the state reported curtail
ment of activity. Returns from var
ious New Jersey cities indicates
that the decline in employment wa

that employment was improving.

Dress Bosses Boosting
Schlesinger Aids Them

Many workers from. struck shops
in the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union were participants in the
Lenin Memorial last night. The N.
t. w. L. U. is carrying through a
big organization and strike cam
paign to force dress shop employers
to accept union conditions. A number
of shops are on strike, and some
strikes Lave been won The militancy
of the N. r. w. |. U. members con-
trasts strongly with the calm prep
arations for betrayal of workers
interests now being made by
the International Ladies Garment
Workers.
Company Union Negotiates.
Continuous conferences between
the Schlesinger officialdom of the
International Ladies Garment Work
ers are taking place this week. The
conferences are partly camouflage.
to make the workers think the unicn
bureaucracy has some real differ
ences with the bosses, and partly to
work out the details for the adop-
ton of the l. L. G. w. as the official
company union in the dress trades.
The fact that most of the details
are arranged before the fake strike
call goes out, does not necessarily
mean that there will not be short
fake strike--as a smoke screen be-
hind which the sell-out is carried
through, the bargain finished.
A Bosses Strike.
The employers regard the "strike"
with calmness. Why not? 1t is
their strike as much as it is the
strike of their company union, the
International Ladies Garm en-
Workers. The trade paper, "The
Daily News Record" in a semi-edi-
torial article, says: "The contrac-
tors in the industry have attained
a measure of organization, and hope
to add hundreds of firms to their
way of thinking, once the strike is
called" Of course, that is one of
the reasons their company union
calls the strike.
And. again, from the same paper:
According to some lines of thought
expressed in the market, perhaps
the manufacturing end of the bust
ness would not suffer in the event
of short strike With the ]. J..
G. w. it will, of course, be short
strike, just little vacation in in

Steve Katovis, Communist Party

after nearly a week of what physi-

fight for life. He lies in Lincoln

Katovis is occasionally tortured
by the policeman's inquisition. He
has many times requested the Of

trying tothave this done.
1t was at a meeting called,by the
Trade Union Unity League, in which

was shot down, last Thursday eve

BERLIN Jan. 22.-Yesterday eve
ming the Berlin press commenced an
anti-Soviet campaign regarding the
discovery of forgeries of American
money. A person named Fischer,
alias Weight, who passed in all
something like fifty 500 bills, was
formerly active in the left wing
movement, but never was a member
of the Communist Party. The press
pretends to Suspect" that these
bills were forged in the Soviet
Union, although the fact that the
forgeries were printed on real
American banknote paper clearly
disproves the lying suggestion of
the press. The affair is without
political significance other than the
artificially imposed suggestion that
the Soviet Union harbors forgers.
