I ENINISM has specially important message
Il this year for the workers of the Phila-
delphia District, badly hit by the present econ
omic crisis with its large scale unemployment,
wage-cuts and speed-up, affecting over one
million workers of this highly industrialized
district.
Half of the hundred thousand textile workers
of the Philadelphia area are out of work, the
rest working part time on reduced wages. Tens
of thousands of unemployed come daily before
the large metal-plants, foundries, ship-yards,
before the Ford plant in Chester, and the
steel mills of Bethlehem and Sparrows Point;
slashes in wages, piece work, the belt and other
speed-up devices, which are bound to drive out
of the workers mind any ideas of Exceptional
prosperity under American capitalism; leading
to general rehabilitation to an increased dis
content to partial strikes bound to be broad
ened and poiticalized to greater response to
our revolutionary agitation The phllistlnes may
drop tears, that they still do not see the work
ers in mass struggles, that the masses are still
too quiet, too little responsive. Yes, quiet, but
quiet before the storm.
The capitalists are preparing for the coming
struggles on every front. Take the growth
of fascisized state-capitalism, the appointment
of the ief-lobbyst, war product manufac-
turer, Joe Grundy of the backward states
Mellon-Fisher and Ware machines Of the Re-
publican Party, the fake liberal Pinchot-Mc-
Cormick fusion ticket sponsored by the demo-
Gratis the support given to social reformism
by the bosses to the strkebreaking U.M.W.A.
machine in the anthracite, to the Musteites of
the U.T.W. in Philadelphia and Nazareth, the
big write-ups about the socialist" party state
convention, which nominated the cleft" Jim
Maurer for governor, and you will readily see
the united front of the capitalist trinity; boss
es, government and social-reformism to defeat
the workers through the terror of the state
cossacks, the brutal sentences and frame-ups
of the courts, through their effort to spread
the suicidal reformistc illusions among the
radcalized masses in the second industrial
state of the Union.
The analysis of the October plenum of the
Communist Party regarding the coming crisis
and the sharpening struggles is fully, borne out
in the Philadelphia District.

DISTRICT 3 CLASS BATTLES

The revolutionary movement, under the lead
ership of the Communist Party and the T. ~.
u. L. is carrying on an energetic Swork to
prepare, for and to become leader Of, the mass
struggles ahead of us. The struggles con-

delphia and Baltimore, the Food, Workers
Union, the growth Of the Marine Workers,
Metal Workers and other INDUSTRIAL leagues,

the large factories, with special attention to
ship building, steel, rayon, oil and other war
industries, which will result in large deiega-
ton of shop-committees at the January 25-26
District T.U.U.L. Convention are all proofs
of that. ss<b ~
Some cities. like Chester Philadelphia, Tren-
ton, are developing unemployment campaigns,
reaching the workers before the factories. And
the workers are responding, better than ons
would think, to u.s. grabbing and reading eager
" the literature, especially the Daily Worker.
in spite of the poson-propagand of the social
reformists and the renegades of the revolu-
tionary movement.
The Negro workers, hundreds of thousands
strong in the District, are especially recogniz-
ing the leadership of the Communists. The
systematic distribution of literature, the hold
ing of neighborhood meetings, resulted already
in substantial increase: of the Communist
Party the A.N.L.C. and the T.u,U.L. among
the most exploited section Of the proletariat.
Our work is in its very infancy, we are just
about to begin seriously, but the results are
more than encouraging for the future, pro-
vided the teachings of Leninism still be under
stood and applied.
The Lenin week in the Philadelphia District
must be mobilization of all Communist forces
for the further carrying on of the work IN the
factories, mills, mines and the waterfront for
the careful analysis of our work and the cor
rection of our shortcomings through Bolshevik
self-criticism for the complete elimination OF
petty bourgeois hesitation of the right danger
as whole from the ranks. .

THE demands of the bosses were all met
Green promised his strike-breaking best in
classic speech of an hour and half at the
Charlotte Conference where he expounded the
philosophy of the A. F. of L., the policy
of sell-out and betrayal, of speed-up and
stretch-out. Almost the last words from
Green's mouth-"I'd rather live and die by
the doctrine expounded by Gompers than by
the doctrines of Lenin' were keynote words
Many worker will agree that Green is living
pretty well ($25,O00 year plus) on the teach
ings of Gompers!
Bitter war on the Communists and militant
workers; peace with the bosses; this was the
substance of Green's speech, which will remain
classic for all betrayers and takers of the
future. Even VOL, who watches Green's every
move carefully, was moved to admit that he
had never heard such an eloquent exposition
of the sel-out doctrines of the A. F. of l.,
as was eXpounded that day by Green). Just
a few words from Green's speech is suffi-
cient:
Or program is one that will help the COM
munity business, professional classes, eucry
institution. think that il there is ana
class aodr it is betUeen the A. f. of L. and
the Communists. Between the A. F. of L.
md Communism there is neither cooperation,
harmony nor sympathy. There iseno COM
i mon ground betl0een u.s. There must be
relentless, neUer-cedsing conflict betaoeen the
A. f. of L. and Communism. Either the
A. F. of L. will speak for the American
aDorkers or the Communists can speak for
them. The battle is drawn on that line.
There will be no compromise. Well stand
lson the forefront Of the battle against this
destructive force.
-. What's our pagpose? To establish
COLLECTING relationship bet,occ,s those ,oho
acork and those 1oho manage so that the pos
sibility of independent conflict 1oill be re-
duced to minimum.

aoith the mailed fist bit NTH the open hand
to the employers of the South. Try us out.
See if uve cannot help the industrial s;tua-
ton IN the South. I Wish the owners and
managers of the South Mould give us
chance"
These words are plain enough for any work
en- Not word about Gastonia or the seven
Gastona defendants. Not word about the
frame-up of C. d. Saylors. Not word about
the doubly Negro workers. (The
one Negro delegate was studously avoided and
cold-shouldercd).
To every Communist and classconscious
worker the meaning of the Charlotte A. F..
of l.. Conference must be very plain. It is
more symbolic that the conference met in the
ballroom of the best hotel in Charlotte and
rubbed elbows with the rich employers there
This conference marked great step forward
IN the Development Of fascism IN the United
States. What Green pledged is what the boss
es want next to no unions at aD--fascist
unions These yellow unions are to be counter
posed to the militant unions under Communist
and left-wing leadership. The unions affiliated
to the T.U l.. are to be outlawed under dras

The above words are especially true of the
present post war period. While we note on
the one hand the tremendous capitalist ra-
tionalzation, speed-up, the attempts of the
bosses to lengthen the work day, the con-
slant wage-cuts, and the open collaboration of
the socialist party" with the capitalist state,
we see on the other hand the rising develop
ment of the revolutionary workers movement,
through the increasing number of strikes, thru
the transformation of these struggles on the
economic fields, into an open fight with the
state, and by tremendous increase of influ-
ence of the Communist Party

Washington Fashions

Sweaters are returning to the
mode. so we are told, and after
standing in the sports depart
ment of a Washington store,
we decided that this statement
was true. Several women
bought smart sweaters of the
slipover type and two or three
bought coat sweaters to wear
over blouse and skirt.
This return to sweaters is a
reaction from the feminine
mode that is now so prevalent.
But that doesn't mean that
feminine clothes are not still
popular, but that it Is also per-
missable to wear something
boyish, and, occasionally, it's a
great relief. For sports and
business we must still dress
senSibly. and there's nothing
much more practical than q
good old sweater and skirt,
School girls like them also and
find them a most suitable cos
tune.
The "Huddle" sweater is a new
type that is popular for school
and takes It's name from foot
ball players jersey. It has a
tight neckband right up to the
throat and is, otherwise, just
a plain slip-over. It's very
youthful looking and is becon-
ing to a slim figure. we
have Sketched one today In
dark red and with it a skirt
with yoke top Of ''Telga," which
is a lovely looking knitted
fabric.
The other sweater is the coat
type that is being bought so
much. Under it is worn a sim
pie little silk blouse and the
skirt that we've sketched with
it is of tweed. These are all
from a Washington sport shop,
and are in medium price ranges.

sweaters or about fashion If

CAPITAL FRIENDS OF PERUVIAN DRAMATIST REM
Author Will
Be Recalled
By Many
Former Member of DlpIo-
matte Corps Here Present.
inc New Play on Broadway

Of interest to the Capital,
where he is remembered as
q school lad and later as a
most attractive young men,
her of the Diplomatic Corps,
is the news that Alphonso
Washington Pezet, former
secretary Of the Peruvian
Legation here, is the author
of the comedy, School
Cir" F" which is being pre-
sented for the first time
in New York next week.
In the years since he left
washington Mr.. Pezet has
made a name for himself as a
dramatist. Born native Of
Peru. the son of the former
Peruvian minister to the United
States, DR.. FREDERICK Pezet, he
writes his plays in the English
language, welding his pen with
the skill of a born Yankee.
Which is not surprising, as Mr..
Pezet came to the United States
with his family first in 1900,
when his father was first sec
retary of legation, and was edu-
Gated in the schools of this
city, attending at one time the
old Force School. in Massachu;
sets Avenue. Later, several
years later, in fact, when DR..
Pezet returned to washington
as minister, his son accom-.
panied him and Washington
remembers with a great deal Of
pride and pleasure his first ap-
pearance in the role Of a pro-
fessional playwright at the Be
1asco Theater.
First Play
His initial venture in profes-
sional drama bore the title of
Marrying Money" Previously
he had written a similar
comedy, "The Remaking of the
Raleighs," which was produced
at the Columbia Theater by an
amateur cast.
In the audience that witnessed
the premier of Marrying
Money" were his father and
mother, DR.. and Nine. Pezet,
and practically the entire mem
berShip of the Diplomatic Corps
then in Washington.
The play was an instant sue
cess and left Washington to
gather further laurels on Broad
way and on the road.
The year before. his "Remak.
ing of the Raleighs" had been
produced by little group of the
young authors intimate friends
and fellow dramatic enthusiasts.
Miss Elizabeth NoyeS (now Mrs.
Smith Hempstone) played the
lead as "Bunty" and Miss Eliza
beth Howry was an effective
Mrs. Raleigh. Mr.. Pezet, him.
self. played one of the principal
roles.
