Go Back to Work to
Strengthen Union

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Dec. H.
AS a result of the rejection OF the
company's terms and the determine
ton of the Sikorsky strikers to con-
tinue the strike and spread 1t II pos
si5le to Hartford, the company was
forced to grant partial victory, and
the workers went back to work at the
Sikorsky Aviation Corporation under
the following terms. /. All the strik-
ers to be taken back-no discrimina-
ton; 2. Recognition of the shop COM
mittee; 8. Wage increase TO be given
Jan. Is; 4. Settlement in writing and
signed by company officials.
The men know that their task Is
from now on to see that this agree
naent is enforced and to strengthen
their organization. They have de-
cided to continue In the Aeronauti-
cal union and to fight for q. national
industrial aircraft unEo1.
The Sikorsky strikers are disil-
lusioned with the MIRA. and the
A. F. of l.. cfficials and have invited
Sam Krieger, the T.U.U.L. orgarezer,

than from the left wing" organizers.

bribed with beer, cheese, cigars and
promises by the company officials.

PECK, German c. P.
Head, Sounds Call
for World Protest
Warns Only Fight
Can Save Leipzig
Defendants
Especial to the Daily Worker

MOSCOW, Dec. II (By Radio. -
"Pravda," official organ Of the Com
munist Party of the U. S. s. r. to-
day publishes an article by William
PECK. one of the leaders of the Ger
man Communist Party, where he says
among other things:
Thanks to the force Of proletarian
internationalism it has been possible
to enlighten universal public opinion
regarding the criminal provocation OF
the fascist incendiaries. 1t has been
possible to bring the failure of fas-
cisms attempt to end the trial by the
murder Of the prisoners.
But our comrades lives are not yet
eaved. Only a maximum effort, an
International campaign Of solidarity
can save them. 1t is necessary to
wrench out all the accused, to wrench
Torgler out of the executioner's
hands; 1t is necessary to liberate
Comrade Thaelmann and the tens oil
thousands Of imprisoned anti-fascists
The abandoning of the accusation
againS George Diulitroff and the
other Bulgarian comrades shows that
in the trial the fascists are directing
their whole attack against the Com
munist Party of Germany. The death
sentence for Torgler must in the
opinion of the fascist executioners
give "weighty" proof of the guilt OF
the Party and justify new bloody acts
against the Communists. The chief
prosecutors speech leaves no doubts
Of the intentions of the fascists.
Following Hermann Goering's re-
cipe, the prosecutor took little care
for "weightiness" Of juridicai argu-
ments He even cynically declared
that the evidence of the prosecution's
witnesses when taken apart is little
convincing. Nevertheless, he brought
his whole force against thu Com
nunist Party Of Germany and Tor
gler as a member Of the Central
Committee. We cannot doubt that the
death sentence, which the prosecutor
demanded for Torgler, will be carried
out by the puppets sitting in judge
ment in Leipzig.
Brothers in struggle, companions
In arms, proIetarians. Don't let the
verdict be executed" r'-'s call Of

dressed to The workers CT the whole

the boss program and improve con-
ditions, and the building of one indus
