CORRECTION

A very serious error was made in
my articles entitled What Will We
Do In Case Of War;, which must
Immediately be corrected. In these
articles I stated that our first task
will be the stopping of the wheels
Of industry" This was developed
into the idea of a general strike"
for stopping war.
This is syndicalist idea, against
which Genin carried ON campaign.
AS stated in the articles, the whole
machinery of the state will be mob
iliSed againsS strike struggles at that
time, and therefore the idea that our
main strategy is the calling of gen.
eral strike is wrong.
Our main task is NOW, to prepare
the forces in the shops and to lead
struggles against wages, conditions,
etc., politicizing these struggles
These become the potential forces
which furnished with guns by the
imperialist government, will turn the
irnperia1iSt war into civil war. The
organization Of these forces in the
shops and the carrying on Of strug-
giles in the shpo,s the mobilization OF
the unemployed for struggle, and
uniting OF the white and Negro work
ers for struggle against discrimina-
ton and lynching, ETC., make it diff
ficult for the imperialist government
to mobilize for war. These forces in
the shops can render tremendous
service in hindering the production
of war material, in shipping this ma
terial. Therefore the Importance OF
penetrating the war industries, SC
that not only in the shops but also
in the armed forces, our Party and
the revolutionary unions will play
their distinctive, decisive roles.

BUILDING DECLINE
FOR n. Y.C IN 1881

Building plans filed In New York
City during 1881 totaled about $685.
100000 as compared with $3.50, ooo, 900
for 1890 This statement. affirming a
decline Of 1863 per cent in building,
was issued on December 30 by the
Building Bureaus Of the five boroughs
after survey of figures.
The Building Bureaus attributed
the loss to "the drop of 100000 900 in
plans filed In New York City" This
is the capitalist way OF explaining the
decline. But the real reason is the
ever deepening crisis; to the decaying
state of capitalism.
In contrast to this building decline
in New York City and in the United
STATES generally We offer the glowing
figures Of achievement in construc~
tion in the Soviet Union where build
ing increases by leaps and bounds.

PATERSON STRIKE
FORCES BOSSES
TO COMPROMISE
But Workers Spurn 1t
and Resolve Upon a
Finish Fight

PATERSON, N. j. - National tex
tile workers picketed the Liondale
Shirt Factory here this morning,
Meanwhile, strikers distributed leaf
lets among the other workers asking
them to Join the strike.
At 900 a. M, committee of the
striking workers met with the bosses
and presented the strikers demands.
The demands are:
No wage cut.
An increase to workers receiving
So cents dozen for pressing to so
cents.
An increase to workers receiving Al
cents a dozen to so cents.
Discharge Of the foreman.
The workers conferred with the bos-
seS for an hour. At the end OF the
conference, the bosses proposed a
compromise to effect 7 cents cut on
the dozen instead the 10 cents origi-
nally proposed. Also that, while the
foreman in question would not be dis
charged, the bosses promised he
would no longer abuse workers.
The striking workers refused to
accept these compromises.
The strikers insist upon their de-
mandS and call attention to the other
workers that by striking they have
compelled the bosses to propose a
compromise; and that only through
the power Of organization and strug-
gle against the bosses can their full
demands be won.
Many workers have quit work rather
than submit to the deplorable condi-
tons. They have refused to accept
cuts and stand abuse, but they have
not joined the strike.
The striking workers call upon
these to join them and struggle for
an increase in wages and for decent
working conditions.
The Manhattan Shirt Factory
where one striker was arrested last
Friday, also was picketed this morn
ing. The strikers from this shop are
visiting shops operated by the same
company with the purpose of pulling
them.

ZIEBLATT SILK
STRIKERS WIN
25P.C. INCREASE
Toilers Defend NTWU
Organizer from Boss

PATTERSON, N. J.-Workers Of the
zisblatt Silk Co. have just won a
victory. After striking for less than
"a hours, they got a rs per cent In"
crease. The workers militantly pickS
eted their shop and under the Lead
ership of the National Textile Worke
ers' Union forced the boss to give
them an increase and recognize the
shop committee.
AS soon as the boss saw the or.
ganizer. of the N. T. w. U. he be-
came excited, threatened to beat up
the organizer and urged the work.
ers to stay away from the radical
union. The workers, however, wanted
the organizer to remain and when
the cops tried to take him off the
picGet line they insisted that he stay
with them. They realized that only
with proper leadership could they
win the strike.
After militantly picketing from
$50 in the morning until 9 the boss
called for a committee. He agreed
to give the workers the wage in
crease, but as the committee went
down the steps the boss and the po-
lice stopped them from going out Of
the building and forced the other
workers to step into the hall and
hold meeting there.
When the organizer tried 10 get
in, the police pushed him out. The
organizer insisted, however, that the
boss must also stay out of the meet
ing and the workers forced the boss
to keep away. The workers decided
not to accept the first offer of the
boss, which was only II per cent
increase, but to fight for the full IS
per cent. After a long discussion
the boss was forced to agree to the
full demands of the workers.
After this meeting some OF the
workers came out of the hail. shook
hands with the organizer and praised
the N.T.W.U. for its militant action
and its aid in winning the strike.
Many of the workers joined the N.
II. w. U. and pledged to support 1t.

also just lied" a strike at the Luxite
Silk Co. This was strike Of "a
workers who were fighting against
a wage-cut Of 80 per cent. After
striking for a few days the A. f. of
L. sent these workers back and told
them to accept the waae-cut. The
workers now realize the difference
between a fighting union AND a
bosses union.
The National Textile Workers
Union is calling upon all workers Of
the A. r. OF L. 10 unite with the
E.T.w.U. against the bosses and the
A. F. of L. misleaders. 1t calls upon
the rank and file of the A. r. Of L.,
to elect a committee OF is workers
to meet with an equal number Of
the N.T.W.U. and work out pro-

The N.T.w.U. calls for the main
