terfere in this strike at all or move

of the workers brought pressure on
the Government and the employers
for an adjustment. Now the govern
ment, the NR.A. bodies are trying
to impose on the highest-paid section
of the textile industry, the silk, the
lowest possible standard of the cot
ton CODE"
BALKAN in his fiery speech deliv-
cred in packed room with workers
choking the Railways outside and
constantly fighting against interrupt
tions of Senator Wagner as well as
the manufacturers pointed out that
the strike in the textile industry is
not the only strike at present. He
went into the coal and steel strike
and showed that the same attempt
of the MIRA. to impose starvation
conditions on the coal and steel in
dustry was being made as in textile.
BALKAN stated that the Govern
ment and its various bodies worries
about the profits of the cotton and
other textile manufacturers Che re-
ferred here to the subsidies given
to the cotton interests), but when
human life is at stake, the govern
ment cares nothing. At this point
Wagner interrupted again and told
BALKAN, BE helpful, you are speak,
ing too critically, you are saying
things you don't know to be true .
A worker from the audience shouted,
He is speaking fair"
BALKAN was interrupted at another
point when he attacked the state
ments of the Government represent
alive, John Moffitt, as false. In Moi
fits refusal to recognize the repre-
sentatives of the strikers in Pater-
son, Wagner again interrupted Ball
lam at this point and tried to change
the subject.
Jacob Panken, of the Socialist Par
ty, represented the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. In his speech he
continually demanded a smaller
meeting, showing his fear of the
workers. He said the meeting was
too big, there we're too many people
there.

delegates of that number of Central
Labor Bodies, closest of all to the
mass of members, have one vote each.
Forty-nine delegates of Federal La
Dor Unions, representing at least 100,-
100 workers, have only IS votes.
Thirty-four State Federations have
"A votes, although these with Central
Bodies are responsible for what po-
itical activity the Federation engages
n outside of Washington.
A concrete example of how this
system works was given today when
The brewery workers delegation, bas-
ing its complaint on the industrial
character of its charter, charged the
Executive Council with disruption Of
its organizations by giving jurisdic-
ton over engineers, machinists, cleo
.tricians, etc, to craft unions. The
speech of the brewery worker spokes-
man received tremendous applause,
especially that part of it dealing with
industrial unionism and sharply
critical of the Executive Council,
Nevertheless, it is certain that on a
roll call vote the Executive Council
will be sustained.

Senator Wagner.
The Interruptions came from the
manufacturers and from some officials
of the American Federation of Labor
present, and Ballam's speech was
punctuated at several points by the
applause of the several hundred strik-
ers present.
''The strike will not be settled on
the basis of the MIRA. $12 and $13
a week minimum wage cotton code,
BALKAN told the hearing. 1.-THE strike
cannot be settled unless uniform,
minimum wage of $40 for the lower
paid workers is effected nationally"
"The various crafts present will pre-
sent their own minimum demands at
the hearing" BALKAN said.
1.-THE strike cannot be settled on the
basis of separating the rayon from
the silk workers, or separating the
north from the SOUTH" BALKAN said.
'The settlement must be uni
form settlement on a national scale.
The National Textile Workers Union
pledges itself to send organizers into
the South until these standards Of
sow-belly are wiped out in the South
and the workers in the industry have
the same uniform wage"
BALKAN sharply criticized Senator
Wagner's statement widely quoted in
the press, especially in New Jersey
that Wagner was coming to New York
to end the strike by "direct action
Senator Wagner interrupted at this
point to say that he had not sent the
statement and denied it.
Attacks Truce.
BALKAN sharply attacked the five
weeks truce engineered by Wagner
in Washington in the middle of Sep
TENDER and pointed out that the 80
delegates of the United National
Strike Committee at that time had
represented all of the workers, since
the workers even of the U.T.W. voted
down the truce. BALKAN pointed to
Schweitzer, who was sitting in the
room and stated that Schweitzer and
the U.T.W. officials had agreed to call
off the strike on the basis of the
cotton code and nothing else and
that Schweitzers own union mem
bers had rejected the truce.
He sharply attacked the N. R. A.
code, which the government is try
ing to force the workers to accept. He
stated that the strike was caused by
IAN accumulation of grievances which
brought hunger, want and degrade
ton to the textile workers of the
country. Wage cut upon wage cut;

New Nazi Letter
Shows Spy Plans
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE,

the Daily Worker regarding the close
connection between the Nazi organi-
cation here and the big German
steamship lines.
In special article written by {
former Nazi and published in the
Daily Worker on Oct. 6, the charge
was made that:
Connections with Germany are
maintained through the captains
of ships of the North German
Lloyd and the Hamburg American
lines. These captains are old mem
bers of the NaM party, and act as
special couriers, vouching with
their lives for the safety of the
messages and secret sentrusted to
them.
"Certain Of these captains act
not merely as couriers. They ar
range TO smuggle into America
Nazi agents and spies for special
services, and they act as jailOrs of
Germans who have offended the
Nazis and are ODE sent back to
Germany for the concentration
camps and torture chambers"
The Daily Worker has just learned
that changes have recently been
made in the personnel of the big
German steamships.

Richie is at present in Hot Springs,

next Sunday, to sign the death war
rant.
II can fix it here, as soon as we
have received official notification of

ton to forestall the development of
a mass movement to save Lees life,
against this decision.

the Maryland lynchers, Monday, when
they violently elected from Washing
ton two truckloads of white and
Negro workers who had gone there
from Baltimore to picket the U. s.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 10. =
Senator Wagner, Chairman OF the
National Labor Board, the chief strike
settler" of the administration and
one of the princes Of the Roosevelt
N. r. A. dynasty, today called for
further wage slashes and q cessation
of strikes in a loudly applauded ad-
dress before this afternoons session
of the SNUG A. F. of L. bureaucracy.
In the teeth Of his own admission
made to the delegates that real wages
have actually fallen because OF rising
prices. the Tammany Senator oplned
that relief for the unemployed will
demand continuation of the heroic
self sacrifices which workers of very
moderate means have been making
during the past four years"
This wage slashing is characterized
as one of the steps necessary to ef-
fectuate the primary detectives OF the
recovery program"
The New York Senator supported
the affluent A. F. of L. delegates in
their strikebreaking program in the
coal fields of the nation. He did
not stop with complimenting Green
'ifor their work in contributing tre-
mendously to the work of the re-
ceyery administration" He gave
specific instructions.
Those who tend to destroy the
opportunities for fruitful industrial
relations by quick and fsnciful re-
sorts to strikes and other forms of
warfare, must be given strong couri-

Green, who introduced Wagner as
the author of the NR.A., as "a great
humanitarian, the author of the
greatest piece of legislation ever put
upon the statute books of the nation"
led the applause and announced that

rushing back to take up his work for
us this afternoon" s.

Elizabethan.
