General Strike
of Silk Workers
Set for Thursday
S e n tim e t Against
Bosses Code
Forces Call

PATERSON, N. j.. Aug. 81
The General Executive Board of
the American Federation of Silk
Workers voted this afternoon to
endorse the call for strike issued
by the Associated Silk Workers,
and to urge its affiliated unions to
join in the strike.
The strike, which will now be
national in scope if this vote is
carried out, is scheduled to start
this Thursday. The strike call was
issued after weeks of pressure
from the workers ranks, where
sentiment for a stike in opposi-
ton to the conditions imposed by
the cotton code, under which the
silk mills have so far been work
ing, and against the proposed silk
code, has been strong.
The workers demands include a
minimum wage of $50 a week.
From Pawtucket, R. l., also came
news that the silk workers there
would join the general silk strike.

and resolutions in the Section Com
mittee and then to carry on a cam
paign among the Party membership
and non-Party masses against these
decisions.
The sabotaging activities of this
group had been noticed by the for
mer district leadership. These &C.
Invites were taking an organized
form, creating a situation wherein
it was impossible To discuss important
questions in the section committee.
Yet in spite of all this the district
and section leadership did little or
nothing to isolate these dangerous
elements, to remove them from their
positions and drive them from the
Party.
This impermissable carelessness,
this hesitancy on the part of the
Party leadership to take decided
steps against these disrupters. re-
Elected a misunderstanding of the
dangerous political role Of this
group, which was a hundred times
intensified under conditions where
the Party had to work semi-legally.
The leading comrades did not un-
derstand that here we were not
dealing merely with an theological
fractional grouping in the Party but
with elements some of whom I'M
doubleday had connections with the
police, and were working directly
with our class enemies to wreck the
Party. At the same time this i'm
permissible tolerance toward this
group showed that there still existed
in the Party and in its leadership
non-Bolshevik attitude of petty
bourgeois sentimentality.
Anti-Party Group
The seriousness Of the situation
and the real anti-Party character of
this group was brought sharply to
light during the absence of the lead
ing comrades at the Extraordinary
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-08-28

this leadership. The Central Com
mittee further calls upon those few
honest workers misled by these dis
rupters to break their connection
with them and to support the Party
and it's leadership"
The Revolutionary, pro-
vocative character of this group is
clearly shown in its subsequent ac-
Invites since the expulsion from the
Party. They have come out openly
as group fighting the Party, align
ing themselves with the enemies of
the Party, and rallying around them
all anti-Party elements, Negro and
white, including incorrigible white
chauvinist elements, formerly ex-
PEELED from the Party. This "holy
union" of Negro and white rene
gades is being consummated on a
common platform of fight against
the Party. It's union with the class
enemy is best seen in the slogan
adopted by this group, "The white
people are the friends Of the Negro
in the South and we must work to-
gether with them" At the same
time they are still seeking to con-
fuse the workers by calling them
selves the real Communist Party.
The experiences of the Charlotte
organization in the handling of this
group of disrupters and provoca-
tours contains valuable lessons for
our Party. These experiences show
that the building up of the Party
and development of the mass work
can only go forward OH the basis of
a constant and sustained political
campaicn' AGAINST provocateurs and
disruptive elements. In the South.
under conditions of illegality and
semi-legality, the question of fight
ing against these elements, of arous-
ing the vigilance Of the workers
against them, becomes a life and
death necessity of our movement.

The nature of this informa-
ton, it was understood, will decide
whether france is to pay up the
$19,000,000 interest installment on
which she defaulted December
IS, last.
At present, the government
stands firm against curing" the
default, but remains hopeful
that in one manner or another
President Roosevelt will effect a
moratorium on the June IS pay
ment.
This hope persists despite the
Presidents flat statement he ex-
poets the payments to be made.
Scout Last Word"
Should President Roosevelt in
dictate his intention of seeking
congressional authority to accord
moratorium on the June pay
ment, Premier Edouard Daladier
would feel he had sufficient
grounds to go before the Cham
Der of Deputies and ask authori-
cation to cure last DEFENDERS
default.
The premier feels, however,
that any such action would be
futile until Mr.. Roosevelt at.
fords a clearer conception of
Americas position. The French
are loath to believe that his
statement that he expects the pay,
ments to be made comprises his
last word on the subject.

NAVAL PLANES RULED SAFE

Although Navy and Commerce
safety standards differ in some
respects, opinion at Commerce
Department today was that Navy
planes are as safe as commercial
planes and that some are built
to stand much greater strains
than airplanes engaged in freight
and passenger traffic.
The comment was inspired by
reports that Navy planes at
Anacostia, Including one reserved
for President Roosevelt, do not
conform to Commerce Department
safety standards.
1t was explained that the Com
merce and Navy departments

the different functions required
of planes largely determine their
standards. Pursuit and bombing
planes, 1t was said, call for
ability to undergo strains that
would probably never be required

The safety factors in each
instance, it was said, were
adequate for the type of work
to be performed.

French Government

PARIS, Dec. 11.-With the Social
ist deputies cooperating with the
government by ahstaining from vot-
ing, the Chautenlps Ministry yester-
day secured the adoption by the
Chamber Of Deputies of its budgetary
program for increased taxation, and
drastic cuts in the wages of civil
employees and in unemployed relief.
The psy-cut proposal was adopted
by a vote of 345 to $50, with the So
cialists abstaining. The new tax pro-
possls and cuts in the social service
were voted by 232 to 191 and 1872 to
224. The Communist deputies vigor-
ously assailed all three proposals and
voted in q united bloc against them
The adoption of the plans of the
new ministry to balance the budget
at the expense of the toiling masses
is meeting with wide hostility and re-
sistance from the workers. The
petty-bourgeois masses are also pro-
testing against the new taxes. The

themselves in readiness for a gen.

Facts and BaLIyhoo

Attest unemployment figures Tor New York State

the Roosevelt ballyhoo about unemployment Elmer
F. Andrews state industrial commissioner announced
Monday, that from mid-October to mid-November,
3 per cent of the employed lost their jobs While
employment dropped per cent, wages dropped 4 per
cent Those employed got an average cut Of per
cent for this month alone
In unemployment figures, New York is weather
gsr1e for the whole country. Throughout the whole
Hoover period when the federal government reported
employment increases the New York figures showed
decreases rejecting more nearly the actual state Of
arfairs
Smaller drops were shown in iron, steel, brass,
sopper and aluminium. But in all leading industries
for the state there was q steep drop in the number
OF employed. Translated from percentages to living
workers it means that tens of thousands lost their
obs with no prospects Of earning living faced with
decreased relief lists with few C.wA Jobs for which
shers are millions waiting vainly,

state industrial commissioner is that the increase In
sxployment though usual during October Is greater

Cuban Army Head

Maneuvers With Wall
st. Ambassador
on Government

HAVANA, Cuba, Dec. 11.-Colonel
Fulgiencio Batista, head of the Cuban
army, to show Welles that he is wor-
thy of recognition as 8 tool OF Wall
Street, yesterday appeared before the
electrical workers in Havana and Or
dered them to grant an extra week to
the Cuban Electric Co. to consider the
demands of the workers.
Batista threatened to use the army
against the workers if they struck
before that time.
At the same time, Batista, President
Grau and others in the present re-
girne have been holding conferences
with Wall Streets ambassador Welles
with a view of forming a coalition
government which would be better
able to increase the attacks on the
workers.
One report here states that there Is
a crisis in the Grau regime, with An
tonic Guiteras, secretary Of interior
and war, Fernandez Velasco, secretary
Of labor, and Carlos Havia, secretary
Of agriculture offering their resigna-
lions.
Meanwhile, the army is becoming a
more independent force, with greater
actual military and political control of
the island.
Colonel Batista is taking more
prominent part as one of the leading
figures in the government fayoring a
concentration government, represent
ing all Of the various factions of the
Cuban neutrality-suspicious.. Batista
has increased the army from 5000 its
strength under the Machado regime,
to $4,000.
Welles is favorably disposed to Ba-
tista and is helping to strengthen his
hand, hoping to make an alliance with
the Grau-Batista regime and the
counter-revolutionary AB.C.
