always a revolutionary fighter,
Comrade Bedacht's very life has been
interviewer with the working class.
He has fought at the head OF the
workers in shops and mills against
the tremendous odds of capitalism,
always turning temporary retreats
into organization for fiercer battle
against the enemy.
His leadership in the Interna-

workers organization, strikes at the
thousands of fraternal organizational
forms which capitalism uses as an
aid In keeping the toiling masses
from struggling for relief. At the
same time that it offers workers the
fraternal benefits, the organization
of which Bedacht is the head, leads
its membership in the demand for
Social Insurance.
I'VE salute the veteran leader Of

ask OF building an industrial unions
or the entire silk industry Of all dye
workers.. broad silk workers, throw
serS and ribbon workers" the reso-
ution of the National Conference de-
GlareS.
The delegates attended from E:as-
Ton, Phillipsburg, Wilkes Barre, Lool'
abode Island, Paterson and other
New Jersey and Pennsylvania silk
centers.
This National Silk Conference, call
ing on the initiative of the United
Textile Strike Committee, decided TO
work tirelessly to establish the unit
ed front of all silk workers to win the
Paterson and Rhode Island strike,
and to "set up united front rank ana
lie committees to guarantee favor
able settlement" Of those strikes
which are still going on.
The resolution passed by the con-
qerence states, these mill commit
ices must be united by sending dele
rates to a shop delegates council to
decide on common action and lay the
l,asis for an industrial union OF the
1.ank and file."
The organization of the unem-
ployed silk workers to fight jointly
with the employed for Unemployment
Insurance at the expense OF the en-
ployed and government, was an i'm
portant part of the program OF the
conference. Mass delegations to de-
nand relief are to be organized. A
committee was elected empowered to
call sectional and regional confer
ences on the jobleSS immediately.
In the report of John j. BALKAN,
Nat Kaplan, Ann Burlak, all N.T.W.
organizers, as well as delegates from
U.T.W. locals, it was clearly seen that
the new industrial union cannot be
based on the N.TW. The National
silk strike has been broken into frag-
ments by the U.T.W. leaders, it was
reported. In Paterson, Eli Keller,
Frank Schweitzer, etc, representing
MacNIahon, sent back to work the
dyers, Jacquard workers and warp
ers. They split the ranks and forced
back the workers in Stroudsoerg,
Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Allen
town. The Paterson and Rhode Island
weavers are now left by the U.T.W.
officials fighting alone, and the
U.T.W, the reports at the conference
showed, are now trying to get these
strikers back 10 work as soon as pos
sib'e without any agreement.
Among the dye workers in Pater-
son. 1t was revealed, lay-offs have al
ready been started by the bosses.
Promises made to the U.TWs are not
being fulfilled, with no equalization
of work, some working a split shift,
and others working II hours a day.
The pay is not kept up to SIS. In
the eastern shops, led by the N.T.W,
workera secured recognition Of the
union and sHo9 for no 900 picks, con-
tra-ted with 81 for the same number
in Paterson, where the U.TW. leads.
A concerted effort by the manu-
fac5u~ars will be made tomorrow to
get the men back to work in Pater-
son and oDen the shops. One delegate
member Of the A p. OF L. voiced the
sentiment Of all the delegates pres
ent at the conference when he said
that the industrial union must have a
militant program and must be run
by the rank and file. On this basis
the delegates stated, large sections Of
the A. p. of L. will join the industrial
union,
