IIILER'S FASCIST DECREE TO SMASH WORKERS RIGHTS
TOPAZ JOBBER
STRIKE IS WON
200 Get Wage Raise,
and 40-Hour Week

NEW YORK.-The strike invoIv-
ing about 200 workers Of contractors
of the Topaz Dress Co. was settled
by the Needle Trades Workers In
duStrial Union yesterday after four
weeks strike. The workers of all
crafts won increases i'll prices, the 40
hour week, the right to the job, and
other union conditions. This strike
was conducted on a united front
basis involving international shops as
well as open shops. The partial gains
won in this strike will only serve to
stimulate the workers to fight for
further improvements in their con-
ditions, and will encourage the work
ers from other shops.
Five other shops involving about
800 workers also settled with wage
increases and better conditions. The
following are among the important
shops settled: G.. and f., ia West
18th ST.; F. and r, 2S2 Seventh Ave. !;
Goldberg and Schneck, 253 w. 26th
st.
With the advancement of the sea-
son, the drive of the Unity Committee
is spreading out on a broader scale.
The workers of open shops are urged
not to delay action but to immed-
lately bring their complaints to the
office of the Unity Committee, 40
w. 36th st. or to the office of the
Industrial Union in order to get help
and advice for organizing their shops.
Active workers are called upon to
report to the office of the union
every morning in order to support the
strikers on the picket line. Many of
the workers on .rike have never had
any such e.. Utience before and must
have the assistance of the active
workers in the trade.

IMUTINY SPREADS
IN DUTCH NAVY
Cruiser Still Held BY
Native Rebels

THE HAGUE, Feb. 6.-The entire
Dutch naval forces in the East In
dies have been ordered out in pursuit
of the Dutch cruiser "De zayen Prov
incien" which was seized several days
ago by its native crew of 400 men in
a mutiny which began week ago
among the European seamen Of sew
eral Dutch warshipS. The mutiny is
spreading. The mutineers in control
Of the de zayen Proyincien' are re-
ported steaming toward the Dutch
Naval base at Surabaya, Java, where
disaffection already exists among the
seamen. A Dutch squadron which
left the base several days ago because
of mutiny on several of its ships
has been ordered back to Surabaya.
Hundreds Face Court Martial.
Several European sealnen and 425
native seamen were arrested several
days ago and threatened with court
martial.
The disaffection in its armed forces
is greatly alarming the Dutch Gov
eminent, and other inperialists hay
ing possessions" in the East Indies,
officials accuse native Communists Of
organizing the naval revolt. Fears
are openly expressed here that the
mutiny will be the prelue for an
uprising of the toiling masses of
the East Indies, groaning under the
brutal oppression of Imperialism and
suffering from mass unemployment.
Orders were sent today to civil and
military authorities in the islands to
be ION the alert" to crush any up
rising of the masses.
Started Against Pay Cuts.
The naval mutiny followed the an
nouncement OF wage cut of 10 per
cent against the white searnen, and II
per cent against the native seamen.
The governments attempt to split the
native and white seamen by ordering
a greater wage cut for the native sea-
men has served only to direct the re-
sentiment of both white and native
Seamen against the government.

II is clear why newspaper that betrays the Negro

But this fight must be won. Today in thousand

Braun appealed against the

summer. Following this, the Prussian
Diet was dissolved and new elections
ordered for March 5.
The Fascist Dictatorship.
The Hindenburg decree of today
expressly gives all power to Reich's
Commissioner Van Papen which
means that the actual authority is In
the hands of the fascist acting Com
missioner Goering.
The reason given for the decree es-
tablishing the fascist dictatorship is
that the present double authority in
Prussia-the authority of the Reich
and that of the Prussian cabinet-has
created an impossible situation which
threatens to undermine all authority.
Appealing from Peter Drunk to Peter

The Braun Cabinet (Social-Demo-

When the Southern ruling lynclers were mobi-

Pittsburgh Courier found the side of the ynchers
1t directed its fire not against the Alabama ruling
class seeking to burn the boys in the electric chair but
against the defense movement and its leader the
Communist Party. 1t directly justified the lynch-action
against the boys with the provocative declaration:
ut is more likely however, that if mobs break out

GAN EDITORIAL)'

One of the chief reasons why it is
necessary to support the Daily Worker is:
A MONG the agencies that the white rul
ing class use AGAINST THE NE
GROES is whole string of sO-called "Ne-
gro" Newspapers We do not mean that all
Negro newspapers are agents of the white
capitalist class. But many of them are.
For instance the Pittsburgh Courier, So
called 'Negro" newspaper, has just published an
editorial in which it says
eff HerndOn dies, the responsibility for
his death will rest not only upon the planter
manufacturer dictatorship of Georgia, but
upon the Communist Party, which persists in
callously sending these youngsters to certain
imprisonmement and DEATH"
Thus the Pittsburgh Courier, mouthpiece of
the National Association for the Advancement of
Coored People sezes upon the brutal changang verdict
Of the Georgia courts against Angelo Herndon to
ate the white rulers from their barbarous crime
The Curriers' statement has familiar ring. We have
heard this SANDER before both from the white ruling
class and from the Pittsburgh Courier and other organs
of it's kind In fact it is part of the whole campaign of
calunny of the Negro refoiss against the program of
the Communist Party for Negro national liberation
program which has met with the widest response among
the Negro in this country 1t is designed to ste
the growing mtancy of the Negro oers, to check their
trend towards revolutionary leadership 1t but serve
echo of the attacks OF the white rulers against the Negro
masses, who increasingly ralyng to Communist lead
ershp in their struggle against growing terror misery
Why does the Pittsburgh Courier object to the pres
ence of Herndon in Georgia? Why was Herndon in
Georgia? AS Communist he went to Georgia precisely
for the purpose of organizing the fight of the Negro
against the fiendish aveoppression inflicted upon
these by the planter manufacturer dictatorship
Georgia Thus it cannot be the presence Of Herndon to
which the Pittsburgh Courier objects but the fight which
Herndon led against the hungermurder regime of the
white ruling class Behind the hypocritcal for
the life Of Herndon turks the real anxiety of the Pitts
