500 Fur Pointers on
Strike for 35-Hr. W'k

NEW YORK.-The fur pointing
industry was seriously crippled yester-
day as more than 500 workers in the
trade in 25 shops came out on strike
led by the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union. The strike followed
the bosses refusal to grant the 35-
hour week demanded by the union
and announcement of lockout.
The strikers are demanding the 35-
hour week and minimum wage OF
500 At two conferences called by
the MIRA. with the bosses repre-
sentatives, the bosses offered to es-
tablish 37la hour wess. The union
rejected the offer and is continuing
to strike.
Two pickets were arrested yester-
day at the Manning Fur 90. and
charged with disorderly conduct.

Major finally succeeded in getting a
few hecklers to attend a campus mass
meeting, Mush Weiner, the football
captain emerged from the crowd and
took the stand, saying, Don't mind
those fellows, they have nothing to
do with the team, they're just a bunch
of jayvees, anyway" The entire var
sity squad subsequently repudiated
these few.
Neither Major Holton nor his frus-
trated strong-arm squad succeeded
in silencing the radicals, 81 of whom
were expelled and 10 suspended in
June. If you're following their &C
tivities you know that the expul-
sions haven't silenced them either.
This Saturday at 10 am. they are
congregating in Washington Square
to lead parade and demonstration
which will demand from City Hall
their immediate reinstatement and
the abolition of military training.
Mush Weiner who is now playing
pro football for Passaic, by the way,
is scheduled to appear at City Hall
Plaza. Class-angle that.

British Delegate
Attacks Soviet
Continued from Pare ~

No such steps have been taken; even
Soviet Russia itself, for reasons that
I personally cannot fathom, remains
in diplomatic and trading relations
with Germany, Notwithstanding these
terrible revolving brutalities and out
RACES. Can it be pos3ible that Hitler
cism, the shedding Of copious tears
toll a1en by the Communist Govern
ment of Russia, because Hitler is de-
stroying democracy and liberty?"
Mark Rowans' speech Is typical OF
tactics of the British Labor Party
and refornist trade union leaders,
the Second International and the In
dustrial Federation of Labor Unions.
1t consists of denunclation of Fas-
cism, the shedding of copiius tears
over the danger to the destruction OF
the abstract principle of democracy
while proposing only to work through
the machinery of rival imperialist
governments as substitute for mass
mobilization against Fascisn1 and
war. At the same time it ISLANDERS
vilely the heroic Communist Party
of Germany, the Communists Interna-
tional and it's sections in other coun-
tries-the only force leading and Or
ganizing the working class for deci-
sive struggle against Fascism and i'm
, perialist war, inside Of Germany and
! in all other capitalist countries.
There is little doubt that the So
Wet Government representatives will
reply to the unfounded accusations
Of Rowan and his endeavor to put
the workers and peasants republic
on the same plane as capitalist gov
ernments before this official gather
ing of American imperialisin's official
labor leaders. BY ignoring entirely
the trial and heroic conduct Of Torglel
and the role Of the Communist Party
of Germany, the British fraternal
delegates gave aid and comfort to the
Fascist enemies Of the toiling masses
OF Germany, the Jewish minority and
to the capitalist hackers Of Fascisn
in the United States and throughout
the world.
1t is almost needless to say thai
his typical refor1nist way of present
ing the most important question before
the working class today was round!
applauded by the official delegate.
when it was accompanied by prais'
OF the N. r. A. as new economic
philosophy containing hope for demo
! cracy and official trade unionism.

impossible for van der Lubbe TO nave
set the fire unaided.
Bergery emphasized the strange
fact that van der Lubbe's three other
fires failed under very favorable cir
cumstances, while the fire in the
stone Reichstag succeeded.
Van der Lubbe Was NaZis' Guest.
Bergery stressed the prosecution
witnesses efforts to prove that not
van der Lubbe but man named
van Bergen sojourned as a NaN IN
Soernewitz, Saxony.
On the 18th Of February the "Voel-
kische Beobachter," Hitler's official
paper, stated that the Dutch pass
port found in van der Lubbe's pocket
bore the name of Vandergen. This
iustifies the hypothesis that van
Bergen or Vandergen was van der
Lubbe's name in Nazi circles.
Bergery stated that it is the COM
MISSIONS task not only to prove the
innocence of the Communist defend
ants but to find the perpetrators of
the crime. He added that there
were increasing reasons to assume
that the fire was set at the orders of
the Nazi leaders.
Testimony on Bulgarians'
Innocence.
Kolaroff, member Of the Central
Committee of the Bulgarian Commu-
mist Party, testifying as witness be-
fore the commission, declared that
Dimitroff worked in foreign coun-
tries for Bulgarian amnesty solely
and had connections for this purpose
with the noted European authors,
Roman ROLAND, Karin Michaelis,
Henri Barbusse and Martin Andersen
Nexo. Kolaroff added that Dimitroff
never interviewed in German or
Austrian politics.
The next witness, Blagoff, former
Macedonian deputy in the Bulgarian
Parliament, confirms Kolaroff's testi-
mony.
The last witness, Oboff, former
attache and later secretary of the
Bulgarian legation in Paris, who was
accused of completely in the Sofia
Cathedral explosion and condemned
to death in his absence by the Bull
garian courts, declared that Popoff
and Taneff were not among the de-
PENDANTS in the cathedral explosion
trial. He added that Dimitroff was
not in Bulgaria in 1925, at the time
the explosion occurred.

ers, bathrobe makers, millinery work
ers, shirtmakers, whitegoods workers
and all other workers in the indus
try and to members of the Indus
trial and all other unions, as well as
to workers in the open shops, the
union declares that the coming all
important conference will take up
four points of burning Importance to
every worker in the trade.
The conference will discuss and
act on the question of how to or
garlize all needle workers in order
to maintain their present gains in
the shop and to fight the attempts
Ct the bosses to cut wages and
lengthen hours. 1t will formulate
plans for a struggle against the COM
ing winters unemployment and for
the organization Of the fight for re-
lief. 1t will plan the struggle for the
right of the workers to strike, to
picket and to belong to union of
their own choice.
The call says in part:
Needle Trades Workers:
do not depend on miracles and
on the sweet promises Of the MIRA.
and your union officials. 1t was only
through your brilliant struggles that
you forced the bosses to grant part
of your demands, and only through
organization and struggle will you
force them to maintain these con-
ditions. Without an organized re-
sistance, the bosses will rob you of
your gains.
"Do not permit yourselves to be
betrayed by the tricksters who have
specialized in scientific schedules
and double limitation" Your Off
Gals, who are honored guests among
the shining lights in Washington,
work against you. From your own
bitter experience you know that youi
officials are not fighting against the
bosses for your complaints and fol
your interests.
do not commit again the serious
mistake of the past years when you
depended upon your officials. Now
when the bosses begin their attacks
upon your gains, it must be clear tt
you that the union officials will MOI
support your resistance and strug-
giles and will do nothing for the un.
employed this winter.
"Only with your own organized
and united power will you be able tt
maintain and defend the gains anc
the conditions that you have wof
this year.
"Let us turn this rank and file
shop conference of needle trade
workers into powerful demonstra
ton Of unity, readiness and deter
mination to defend the gains of TIN
needle trades workers.
Help to build powerful united
front that should be your fortress
against the united front of tn,
bosses and their agents.o

Spread as Result
of United Front
Silk Workers in March
on Anthracite Mills

EASTON, Pa, Oct- o.-naSS
picket lines from Easton, Allen
town and Scranton are descending

to Rhode Island by the United Ma
tional Strike Committee, reported
that at the meeting of shop dele
gates of the United Textile Work
ers Union CA. F. of L. from silk
mills in Rhode Island, in spite Of
the utmost the leaders of the
U.T.W. could do to keep the strik-
ers at work, the vote to strike the
Rhode Island mills was defeated
only by the close vote of 81 to ri.
At q mass meeting of silk work
ers in Rhode Island, Francis Cor
man, vice-president of the United
Textile Union, stated that the
strike in Paterson is over, telling
this lie in a further attempt to
stifle Rhode Island strike action.
Complete United Front

at Easton, where complete united
front, embracing both the National
Textile Workers Union and the
U.T.W. "a. F. of L. exists, with

president of the American Fedora
ton of Silk Workers CA. F. of

requested negotiations and strik-
ers' committee, composed of work
ers of all unions, was to meet them
today, but will not settle without
the other striking silk centers.
MIRA. Active In Allentown
In Allentown a special repre-
sentative of the MIRA, sent in by
the Roosevelt government to try
to break the strike, is trying to get
individual shops to sign individual
agreements. The N.R.A., through
this representative, is trying to
start general drive to send the
workers of Allentown back and
thus break the national silk strike
front He openly declares if he can
get the strikers of Allentown back
he will then proceed to other Sec
tons. He is holding secret con-
ferences with some takers in
Emaus without consulting the rank
and file, and also working through
few shop company unions.
The regional strike committee of
| Allentown, affiliated to the United
National Strike Committee, has is
sued a call and has sent a dele
cation to the U.T.W., urging a
united front to smash these ma
neuvers of the MIRA. and the
bosses to break the strike. The AL
lentown strike committee reiter-
ated its decision that no one goes
back to work without decision Of
the workers of other centers.
