New Members


Only one new shop nucleus has been organ
lied since the drive began. Two new shop
papers have appeared since. The failure of
the District to provide a concrete program for
building the circulation of the Daily Workers
due to the fact that subscriptions cannot be
solicited in New York proper leaves us with
out any achievements whatever to be reported
in this important field of work. This is only
now being corrected by the application of
plan for establishing delivery routes in the
working class neighborhoods and by providing
for the regular sale of the Daily in the shops
by our comrades working there. For New Jer-
sey, however, the usual method of building the
Daily must be supplemented by a more vigor-
Gus campaign during the present drive.
The District Bureau has decided to severely
criticize Sections Two, Three, Four and Five,
whose showing up to now is altogether miser-
able and without excuse These sections will
be required to greatly increase their activity
in order to make up for their to now poor
showing.
The District Organization Department must
sharply question the seriousness of those Sec
ton and Unit functionaries who were so boast
ful at the time of the Inauguration of the drive.
We must secure rs per cent of our total
quota by Lenin Memorial Day. Only three
weeks remain till then. This means we must
secure an average OF l93 members during each
of the coming three weeks
This can and mus be done if we are ser-
ously determined to take advantage of the pre-
sent favorable opportunities for building our
Party. The preparations for the Lenin Mem
orial demonstration can serve q means for
reaching many workers in the shops and fac
tories. Todate very few units have arranged
shop-gate meetings and literature distribution
This accounts in large measure for the poor
showing of most of the sections and therefore
of the District a whole which is sixth in
proportion of quota secured.
A banquet is being arranged for the new
recruits who brought into the Party be-
tween now and January IS. At this banquet
to which all District, Section, Unit and Frac-
ton functionaries are invited banner will
be presented to the Section that comes nearest
to achieving its quo of new members.
All sections are required to hold open forum
meetings at least once every two weeks to
which comrades shall bring the prospective
candidates for membership with whom they
have contact.
General membership meetings will be held
in all sections during the week of January
to II at which the work of each section will
be critically discussed and plans outlined for

of Labor is an organization that exists on
paper only. The growing economic depression
Of the country has given rise in the last few
weeks to a series of strikes of tobacco and
millinery workers. These strikes took on a
political character in spite of the repressive
measures used by the government agents. At
meeting of young workers held in Havana
few days ago, the young working class mill
tants marched from the hall to the government
palace resulting in street battle between the
police and the hundreds of workers who defied
the military rule Of butcher Machado
Fight Terror in Mexico
The regime of terror installed in Mexico
against the revolutionary workers and peasants
also aims at the humiliation of the Cuban
revolutionary emigrants, the recognized lead
ers of the Cuban oppressed masses. In the
arrests of Junco and Barrero and the tortures
administered on Cotono, the black hand of
Machado is clearly seen. The supreme master
of both ackey Governments of Mexico and
Cuba, American Imperialism is the chief opera
tor in the attempts to crush the militant trade
unions actively engaged in the class struggle
and against Wall Street rule in the caribbean
Region.
Machado was forced to call this ''labor' con-
ference for January in view of the postpone
ment OF the an-Amerlcan Federation OF La
bor He had welcomed Mr. Green's coming to
Havana where he expected to get his sanction
for the hundreds of murders and jailings of
which he is responsible.
The presence in Cuba of Hoover's labor rep
resentatives was the hope of the President to
lull the hungry masses into sound sleep.
His secret police agents now active in
the converting of the Congress which promises
to be the most unpopular gathering of labor"
takers.
Aims of Fake Congress.
The aims of Machado Guggenheims Con-
gress are obvious: in the first place an at
tempt will be made to show the workers of
Cuba that they have the fright" to assemble
and form an organization of their own wherein
the government agents can exercise full con-
troll. Furthermore, the sharpening class strug-
gle and the fighting mood of the oppressed
workers can be appeased, so it is hoped. And
in the second place, another attempt will be
made to divert the workers from the regime
of terror now in full swing in Cuba and Mexico
against their best leaders, into the so-caed
economic demands that they will be called upon
to make at the fake Congress.
But these trickeries will, of course, be of no
avail. The exploited masses of Cuba know

methods of cooperation with the employers
and betrays the workers into false settlements
which gain them nothing. The N. t. W., they
find, bases itself on democracy within the
union, and proves, by actions its belief in
southern mill workers ability of leadership and
organization; the U. T. w, on the other hand
dstrusts the rank and file and has stated at
various times that it is impossible to organize
southern mill hands. While the N. T. w. or
ganzes black and white workers on an equal
footing in industrial unions and unites them
in struggles for full economic, political and So
cial rights for colored as we'll as white, the
U. t. W. either ignores Negro mill workers
entirely or segregates them into separate To-
Gals and neglects their interests. Also it usu-
ally divides workers along craft lines. In
times of strike, the N. T. w. actively partici-
pates and gives organizational and financial
aid, but the U. T. w. gives little of either. In
consequence, textile unionists in the south are
turning to the N. T. W., and not the U. T. w.
for leadership. They are beginning to see that
only through militant struggle on a national
and international scale can they build their
union and win their demands. The N. T. W.,
realizing its opportunities and tasks in the
South, is proceeding on carefully worked-out
plan of organization. A network of mill COM
mittees is being organized throughout the cot
ton region, and union forces are solidifying
North and South. Especial attention is being
given to the development of local leaderships,
and the development of rank and file under
standing. When southern unionists and ma
tional leadership consider the time is ripe, a
widespread strike will occur, and this time
southern workers expect to wage an effective
fight and establish militant unionism as a
permanent factor in the southern textile in
dustry.

Chapter VII.
OUTLOOK FOR SOUTHERN
MILL WORKERS.

THE conclusions which stand out from the
l. facts of southern mill life are clear and
unmistakable. While the southern press, pull
pit, and schoolroom, with few dissenting voices,
have combined to praise the cotton mill own
ers paternallsm and treatment of their en-
ployes, the mill workers are living in company
ruled towns and are being exploited at ire
mendous rate. Also their children, who in
few years must go into the cotton mills, will
be spared a similar existence only through the
determined efforts of mill workers themselves
to change conditions.
Furthermore, in the period following the
World War, the mill owners have shown them
selves determined to increase this exploitation
even further. Wages have been reduced by
nearly one-fourth, while the stretch-out and
various other systems of speed-up are being
introduced. Southern manufacturers are urged
on, in these policies of naturalization, by their
desire for greater profits, and by the fierce
competition which exists among textile own
ers around the world for markets for their
product. In this competitive scramble, it is the
textile workers not only of the southern cot
ton states, but also of New England China
Japan, India and England, who pay the price,
IN heightened hours, lowered pay speeding up
and increasing unemployment. AS markets be-
come more and more flooded with textile goods
and competition grows therefore ever more
fierce, the manufacturers will attempt to drive
the workers standard of living even lower. so
that they may be able to undersell compet-
tors.
But all these efforts for greater and greater
output at less and less cost simply increase
the worldwide chaos in the textile industry,
for the market demand for textile products
fails to keep pace with the mounting output of
the mills One main factor in this situation
is that the wage-earning class which forms
the vast majority of the population of all coun-
tries, receives under capitalist rule such low
wages that workers can not purchase suffi-
cient of the products of industry. So long as
capitalism exists, where goods are produced
solely for profits of those who own the textile
mills, steel plants, railroads and mines etc,
this chaos will go on; for it is not possible in
system based on private property to have a
scientific organization and central plan of pro-
duction and distribution of goods in line with
the actual needs of consumers

Another example of the role which these So
called progressives are playing was given at
the funeral of the Marion strikers, when Music
appealed to the estate of North Carolina to
cleanse her hands of blood -. and act to bring
about higher textile wages and shorter hours.
(N Y. Times, Oct. a, 1929 Whether such re-
marks spring from gross ignorance or mere
hypocricy is beside the point. What is to the
point is that such talk and advice serve to con-
fuse workers and raise illusions about the
estate of North Carolina" being other than
what it is: a mill BOSSES government, from
which the workers can only expect oppression.
Furthermore, these progressives worked with
union leaders in having committee appointed
to intercede with the governor to bring about
strike settlement, and on this committee 'for
the workers" were recommended representa-
tive of the Federal Council of Churches and
mill owner. Since when did mill owners side
against their fellow profit-takers with the
workers, and since when did mill workers need
or trust mill bosses to push their cause, or
depend upon arbitration to promote their in
terests? The entire history of arbitration re-
veals it to be an instrument of the ruling class
which is used against the wage-earners.
The Marion workers showed themselves far
ahead of the A. F. of L., U. T. w. and Music
Ross-Tippet leadership in their courage mill
fancy and reliance, not upon bosses govern
ment, or churchmen, but upon their own or
ganized strength.
Southern textile workers are beginning to
see clearly the differences between the Ma
tonal Textile Workers, affiliated to the Trade
Union Unity League, the American Section of
the Red International of Labor Unions, and
the United Textile Workers, affiliated to the
American Federation of Labor. The first they
have found to be union which carries on a
militant struggle in the workers behalf, on
the basis of clearly formulated demands; the
second they have learned through many mtter
experiences, is an organization which fears all
class struggle, but declares itself for peaceful
