(Contn,ued)
In the textile industry the contradictions in
herent in its present organizations have reached
the stage where permanent international
crisis exists. Only fundamental reorganza-
tion of the industry can liquidate this crisis
and furnish mill workers decent standard of
living, but such reorganization involves
system of collective ownership and operation of
mills, in a society which is under workers
economic and political control.
This, then is the double perspective opening
up before southern mill hands: Under capt.
talsm, further enslavement to the job-owners,
reduced standards of living, recurrent wars
which are always "poor mans war and rich
mans fight" Under workers rule, freedom
from bosses tyranny, constantly improving
standards of living, and enduring peace. Dixie
mill hands, in taking up the fight for unionism
learn that workers in all parts of the earth
are organizing and on the march along this
route, militantly struggling for better con-
'''fons of life. and for their socialist aims.
They find the Labor Movement, of which they
a. uors part, increasing in gigantic strides,
from ten million in 1910 to approximately
fifty million in 1928, and including within its
ranks, textile workers of the Orient, England,
Germany, Poland Russia, New England and
Dixie.
In contrast to their WorSenlng conditions,
southern operatives learn with establishment
of the achievements of the textile workers in
Soviet Russia. Since the workers took control
there, in 1917, mill operatives have reduced
their working day from nine and one-half
to seven shours, andstheir real wages have in
creased by thirty-one per cent (Chase Dunn,
and Tugwell, "Soviet Russia in the Second
Decade 1928, pp 217-247.) While Dixie mill
hands fight naturalization schemes, Russian
workers welcome them, for there these changes
are carried through for their benefit, rather
than at their expense The gain in real wages
is reflected not only in the pay envelope, but
also in other ways; such as in the regulations
for two weeks vacations with pay each year,
unemployment insurance workmen's compen-
sation and system of old age pensions Also,
women workers get leave of absence with pay
for six weeks before and after child birth,
free medical attention, and allowance for
the child's care for nine months. Furthermore,
all elements of the toiling population have
cured educational opportunities through their
unions, co-operatives and clubs, which they
never had before, while the new public school
system which they Soviet Union has built up
furnishes unusual educational opportunities to
their children.
In the South the Struggle for unionism and
workers demands is just getting under way.

Growth OF Tendencies Towards
Fascism
Fascilsrn

THE year 1929 has been one of developing re-
sistance of the workers to the increased
pressure of capitalist naturalization. 1t has
been marked by steadily growing radicaza-
ton of important sections of the American
working class, which found expression in bit
terly fought battles with the employers At
the same time, 1929 has witnessed the en-
trance Of new and heretofore relatively pas
sive strata of the working class, into the
arena of the class struggle.
The further justification of American in
dustry, coupled with certain structural changes
in the government in the direction of state
capitalism, have exerted tremendous influ-
ence the form and content of these strug-
giles. To growing extent, big business is
identical with the state power. The Economic
conference" recently set up by Hoover, is typi-
cal of~this change, Unler the administration
of this president of finance capital, the pro-
cess of direct open fusion of the state power
with finance capital will proceed at an accen-
tuated rate

Sharply draWn-Wlth ever larger sections of
the working class facing, not relatively small

and its most powerful instrument of domino

The bourgeoisie is not blind to the sgnifi-
canoe of Gastonia, of New Orleans, of the
growing strength and influence of the Trade
Union Unity League. 1t recognizes them for
what they are-forerunners of greater, fiercer
class battles. And the employing class pecog-
nizes that these battles to an increasing ex-
tent will be led by the one vital living force
in the American labor movement today. the
Communist Party.
With the A. F. of L. tied to it by thou
sand threads of common interest with Music
and the cleft" reformists of the .Lovestone
Lore, Cannon stripe, daily confusing and be-
traying the workers, the bourgeoisie sees in
the Communist Party its one implacables enc

revolutionary struggle. Therefore, in it's
preparation for the coming class battles at

at hand, VIE bourgeoisie directs it's main line

PARTY RECRUITING DRIVE

Workers Union in Paterson, the Party fraction
secured from amongst the delegates Is appl-
cations for membership in the Party, eight of
these came from New Bedford, 6 from the
South, from aPterson, from New York and
for Icy. This is an example of what should
happen at every union convention.
Of the 80 new members recruited during
the second week in Philadelphia district,
were recruited in Philadelphia; in Chester:
6 in Baltimore; A in Washington and 2 in
Wilmington.
At the three demonstrations of the Party
in California in connection with the Stimson
Note, 81 new members were recruited. The
total recruits of 70 to date have come from
Frisco, So; Oakland, 10 and Los Angeles, 16.
California district challenges the Seattle
district to recruit more marine and lumber
workers than they and challenges Kansas to
recruit more Mexican workers. Seattle will
have to step lively if they want to keep in
line with California.
Minnesota reports that they are working
hard to organize three mine nuclei amongst
the metal miners in Minnesota. Their quota
is ID and they will have to step lively.

SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS
AND LABOR

In this struggle Dixie mill hands will undoubt-
eddy play a foremost role. With the growth
of the forces of militant labor both at home and
abroad, southern textile workers can count on
strong support. Southern workers, on their
part, are learning that the problems which they
face in the cotton mills are baslcally the same
as those which textile and all other workers
struggling against capitalism face, and that
therefore they must unite forces Tor JOINT
action on an international SCALE. Also they are
beginning to see that labor solidarity can recog-
nize division along race, sex, or craft lines,
and that in the south, as elsewhere, TINS IN
wolves feaaess struggle for full economic,
political and social equality for colored as well
as white workers. Their experiences are teach
ing them, too that struggles for economic
rights are political struggles as we'll, with the
whole machinery of government utilized BY the
mill owners against them. This is no accl-
dent. Every strike, every serious unionizlng
campaign is a threat to the power of the bosses
and to the security of the democratic" gov
eminent which they have built up and control,
and as the wage-earners in cotton
mills in any other industry begin fight
for their demands, they find the local, state
and national government working with the
owners, in sending in troops to protect strike
breakers and shoot down militant workers, IN
giving sweeping lnJunctlonS. against StrlkefS,
making wholesale arrests, evicting from COM
pany dwellings, and in framing up leaders and
railroading them to long-term imprisonment
or to the electric chair. Under the guise of
"public interest" the local or national gov
eminent may step in, as it did in the Eliza
bethan strike, to act as impartial mediator"
but again it works in the interests of the
owners, Turing the workers back to work with
false promises and so betraying their strike.
Altogether, american Democcary" has proven
itself hoax used by the mill and other owners
to blind the workers to the fact that the gov
eminent is an instrument of the bosses, the
ruling class, which is used to maintain their
power against the onslaughts of the working
class. Since the workers, in fighting for union
ism and their elementary rights have to fight
the state as well, they must have political as
well as economic weapons with which to fight.
1t is obvious that the old parties have nothing
to offer them since these parties are likewise
controlled by the bosses. Therefore Dixie mill
hands must organize politically and together
with the rest of the working class, push on
until both economic and state power are wrested
out of the hands of the capitalist bosses and
securely in their own.
This is the perspective opening up before
southern mill workers. They know that in
labors organized strength, alone lies the prom
Use of the future.

to smash the new upsurge of revolutionary
struggle.
The attack on our Party will grow in direct
ratio to the sharpening of the class struggle
and the imminence of war 1t is now in its
preliminary stage and is marked by three pc
culiarities:
VI The drive against the Party is directed
CHIEFLY by city, county and state governments.

meht OF Justice, while sending every aid to
local attacks on the Party, especially in de-
portatlon cases, has not yet launched a direct
attack to outlaw the Party on national scale

Flashes from the Recruiting
Front.

Those districts conducting most mass activity
are the most successful in the Recruiting Drive.
For instance, Detroit district reports that at
their first Soviet Union-Haiti meeting, IA ap-
plications were received, while at a second
series of 5 mass meetings on the Haiti issue,
at which 500 workers attended, % new men,
bers were recruited, of whom II were Negro
workers. The total of 81 new members re-
cruted in the first two weeks of the drive up
to Dec. oath, were secured as follows % at
series of neighborhood mass meetings on
Haiti; IA as mass meetings on Stimson Note;
at another mass meeting; 10 thru contacts
at unemployment meetings and the balance
thru recruiting by the factory and street nuclei,
mainly thru factory nuclei.
Detroit has conducted mass leaflet distribu-
ton in the past two weeks as follows: 10000
leaflets on Attacks on Soviet Union and Haiti;
$4,000 leaflets in connection with the Illinois
strike; 10000 Hoover Prosperity leaflets;
$4,000 leaflets dealing with local unemploy-
ment situation.

With one-quarter of the time allotted for
the Recruiting Drive over, Chicago has passed
the century mark in gaining new recruits to

quotas are distributed as follows:
Section 2, IS; Section g. "a Section d. IA;
Section 5, %; st. LOFTS, 4; Milwaukee, 1e;
Gary, 8.
Milwaukee, which was tagging somewhat
behind, has spurted to the front with Ia new
members taken in during the last week. The
Drive in Gary, st. Louis, and Southern Illi-
nois, is just getting under way and the re-
suits, which will start coming ip soon will
quickly increase the Chicago district totals
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-01-03

The district has to maintain an average of
about 55 new members each week in order to
reach its total Of 600 by February 10. That
this total7is practically realizable is indicated
by the growing interest of the Party members
in the results and the quickened pace Of the
recruiting.

established ignition laboratory In charge
of NJ. r. Peters and under the direction
Of DR.. II. @. Dickinson, chief Of the
division OF heat and power, fulfillS its
promise.
Motors Could BE Stopped.
The motors would be stopped in the
same way. that two Short-wave radio
transmitting stations interfere with
each other when they happen to have
the same freQuencies. For, physicists
explain, every ignition system is really a
modified sending station and can De

ing station which happens to be broad

enough and with sufficient power. The
difnculty in developing such o weapon
Of attack or defense would be that every
such "broadcasting" system has O df-
ferent frequency, and in order to stop
all the motors in given area 1t would
be necessary to send out all the fire.
Quencies within the range Of ignition
systems and with sufficient power to
reach them. The latter item would be
enormous, even for a very limited area,
and when 1t came to protecting the
frontier Of country probably would
pass beyond all practical limits.
But what is not impossible might be-
come entirely possible when the In
genuity Of a people was spurred by war
An area might be defended by great
numbers Of powerful stations ready to
throw their invisible armies into the
field at a moments notice. The fire.
uuency range necessary probably would
not prove an insuperable difficulty. The
entire possible range of ignition systems
has been calculated and it does not ex-
tend very far.
The actual principle, says Peters was
known to the German physicist, Helm
rich Hertz, discoverer Of radio waves
late in the last century. Hertz was
able to make spark jump over gap
in a coil from some distance. But he
went no further with it, although 1t is
entirely possible that German physicists
were experimenting with the principle
during the war and may have made
considerable progress.
Whether it is practical or not. even
on a small scale. remains in doubt al
though it has been asserted by one
physicist in a European laboratory
that he actually has known of an air
plane stopped by this method at dis
lance of one kilometer. When the igni-
ton laboratory was first established the
Bureau Of Standards started to set ur
apparatus to determine If this was pos.
Sible.
The ignition laboratory staff has sci

Bureau of Standards Works
on "Ignition Harness to

An ignition harness" Is being de-
Neloped at the Bureau Of Standards, In
co-operation with several commercial
ignition concerns, which promises to
destroy the substance of some Of the
wierdest dreams of those who picture
future wars.
It is the elimination of work which
started when the radio range beacon
was introduced as an aid to flying and
seeks to prevent interference with re-
ception and transmission of signals.
1t is case of developing the de-
tense before the weapon.
Everybody knows that somewhere in
France sometime during the World War
ali motor vehicles over a considerable
area suddenly stopped running, and
that this was due to the effect of radio
waves on their ignition systems.
Fact or Fable?
This was one of the most widespread
of war stories. But nobody knows just
where or when it happened and Bureau
of Standards physicists, in the absence
of more specific reports, are inclined to
regard it as just another legend built
up on a far-fetched possibility. But
they are not prepared to deny absolutely
that it did happen nor that 1t could
happen some day.
Now either an attacking or defending
army is largely dependent on motors
in tanks, airplanes, trucks, artillery
caisSons and passenger cars. So If this
happened, and the method could be
extended indefinitely, the picture Of
future wars fought by invisible legionS
of minute ether vibrations perfectly
disciplined to respond to the twist Of
a dial might not be so far-fetched. So
far as the bare theoretical possibilities
are concerned, 1t may be juStidable to
picture lone figure in q bombproof
laboratory in a beleaguered city bend
ing over a radio transmitting set and
bringing down enemy airplaneS one by
one by bombarding them with radio
3requencies, and listening with sound
detecting devices for the sound Of q
missing motor to tell him his work had
succeeded.
II such . device could be perfected
itwould be one Of the most effective
weapons Of modern warfare. Tanks,
unless shielded, might be left stranded
and destroyed at leisure by artillery fire.
Protective zones could be thrown about
observation balloons and airplaneS into
which no enemy craft could enter. The
heavy motor traffic on roads to the
front could be piled into an inextricable
jam. Whether it would work or not
nobody knows, because nobody, so far
as the Bureau of Standards knows, ever
has tried it on large scale-unleSS the
world War story happens to be true.
But there will not be much incentive
