Letters from Readers
PRAISE GARLLN'S EXPOSE OF
NAZT; SUGGEST PAMPHLET
Pittsburgh Pa

Pittsburgh. Pa,
Oct. 81, 1888.
Editor Of the Daily Worker:
Dear Comrade:
The expose of the agents Of Hitler
and his Nazis in the United States,
printed recently in the Daily Worker,
should not be lost in the thick of
the fight OF the class struggle. Such
articles as those written by Sender
Garlin on the National Civic FEEDER
alton, his write-up Of Untermyer's
conversation with the Daily Worker
editor, his report Of Bob Minors speech
in City Hall on the Nazi hearing for
permit to the Friends of New
Germany" as well as all letters, car
toons, etc, that appeared in the
Daily" In connection with the ex-
posture Of Hitler agents in this coun-
try, should appear in a pamphlet
form.
This would be valuable weapon
in the hands of those now fighting
Hitler Germany In addition to these
articles, the fascist tendencies of the
officialdonl of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in their strikebreak-
ing policies and their support of the
N.R.A. would help to establish in the
minds of the American workers, who
are beginning to feel the stint of
the MA, that the officials of the
A. F. OF 4. are not their represen-
tatives.
A pamphlet Of that kind would
bring sharply to the American work
ers the question as to whether or
not fascism is developing in this
country. Somt material on the Jew
ish terror, from the Brown Book
should also be included.
This pamphlet of Garlin's articles
should be printed by the League
Against War and Fascism and be
distributed free amongst the workers
Comradely yours,
S. BURNS.

Drive Sharpened
BY Race for Leadership

NEW YORK Boston, District l.,
not only kept the lead in the Daily
Worker $4,000 Drive during the last
half week, but increased it consider
ably, and is quickly heading towards
raising It's full quota, having already
fulfilled 81.3 per cent Of its total
amount.
Philadelphia, District 3, slid into
third position, with District IL,
Seattle, replacing it as the runner
up to Boston.
The Drive on the whole continues
to lag, the latest chart showing that
only 42.6 per cent of the total $4,000
has been raised, that is not even one
half. 80
Scheduled to end on Nov. 7, the
slowness of the Drive forces it to be
continued. The $4,000 must be
raised. Each District, by waking UP
to the emergency that faces our
Daily Worker, car do as well as
Boston and even surpass it within
the next two weeks. The Districts,
however, will have to work hard, as
Boston is going right ahead to double
and even triple its original quota.
Study the chart carefully. Don't
allow your District to lag. Hold
affairs, contribute yourself. Mass or
ganizations, trade unions, readers and
friends of the Daily Worker are urged
to boost their Districts into the lead.
Icor Branch Active
Tcor Branch of the Cooperative
Colony of New York raised s34 for
the Daily Worker, but the Icor or
ganiSation as whole has not done
so well so far.
The International Workers Order
has not yet responded to the second
challenge by the Jewish Workers
Clubs. Individual members and
branches of the I. w. Q. are urged
to get In touch with their National
Executive Committee and find out
why the Committee fails to respond
to this revolutionary challenge.
The Jewish Workers Clubs sent in
total of $40 in the last half week.
So far they have, however, raised In
the aggregate only 43.16 per cent of
their quota. The I. w. o. is still
slower, having raised only 1906 per
cent.
New York District lags, with
showing of only 39.4 per cent. With
the exception Of Boston, Seattle, De-
troit, none of the Districts or organi-
cations have raised even half of their
quotas.
Comrades, to save the Daily Worker
you must get into spedier action. Give
your revolutionary support to our
fighting paper by helping it out of its
present financial crisis, made worse
by the breaking down Of our 35-year
old press. Rush funds to the Daily
Worker, so E. 18th St., New York

Leather Boss
Openly Breaks
Pact He Signed
By a Worker Correspondent.

SALEM, MaSs.-The John Flynn IL
Sons Leather Co. of this city is only
one more proof that no matter how
decent an employer may seem to be,
even his signed agreement is not
worth the paper it is written on.
Although this firm signed an agree
ment with the National Leather
Workers Union last April during the
general strike here, the company has
continually refused to allow stew
ards to collect dues in the shop
though the agreement says they can.
During the strike they operated
with scabs. The agreement outlawed
these scabs, but gradually the firm
has fired the union men for any
reason they could think Of and re-
placed them with dependable scabs,
using the change OF types on ma
cfinery in some cases as an excuse,
and in others simply saying that the
work was not satisfactory
The situation is now so bad that
the union members in the shop have
to keep that fact under cover. Show
ing their union book is enough tc
cause discharge.
This is only one case OF the leath-
err bosses attempt in this district tc
break up the union before the pres
eI1t agreement expires in January
The union (the National Leathe.
Workers UnionD by the virtue of thei
agreements, has no control over tn.
bosses, and the workers in great
numbers, learning this fact, have re-
fused to pay dues and even belong
to the union. There is great danger
Of the union falling completely
apart before January. because of the
miserable betrayal of the workers by
the union officials.
The workers in the union must
stay in the union, otherwise they
are playing into the hands Of the
bosses. Form a real militant rank
and file group within the union,
force the double-crossing officials
out, keep the union in the control of
the workers, and reorganise the
union on class struggle basis. This
will strengthen the union and pre-
pare for bitter unre1enting struggle
in January.

Officials Call
Hat Strike to
Collect Dues
BY a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK.--The strike called by
the North American Hatters Union
Local 7, affiliated to the American
Federation Of Labor, against Jakob
Korber, Inc, straw-hat manufactur-
ing company at 538 Broadway, was
called off by Miss Minnie Teitelbaum,
secretary of Local 7. The workers,
who were out for five weeks, we're
forced to return to work without any
settlement.
The plant was shut down the whole
summer, for the straw hat factories
do not work mora than six months
yearly during the last few years. The
workers Of the shop were called to-
gether by the boss at the beginning Of
September. He had signed I'D with
the MIRA. through the bosses asso-
citation.
THE shop will work 20 hours, in
stead Of A." said Mr.. Korber. you
will get a 10 per cent increase in
wages" The workers were willing to
accept the proposition, as the union
agreement expires anyhow in No
vernber. They notified Miss Teitel-
baum, who did not like the idea, and
made them go on strike.
I'VE can get more through the
N.R.A.," argued Miss Teitelbaum.
During the strike negotiation with
the boss went on steadily. He was
ready to give Is per cent raise. One
Gay the workers found out that the
strike was settled by Miss Teitel-
baum without any gains. Not even
getting the is per cent which was
offered to them by the boss.
The sudden calling off OF the strike
made deep impression Oh the work
ers. They found out that the A. F.
Of L. officials used them to organize
other dues paying members by pull
ing down other shops during the
strike and weren't even interested in
making the conditions Of the already
organized shops any better.

ALL Officials Lead
Knit Workers Back
to Worse Conditions
BY a Needle Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK.-The officials Of Lo-
cal 81 called for workers in the I'M
derwear trade to go down on strike
and join their company union. At
the time Of the strike we heard
nothing else but have faith in your
leadership. So we had faith and what
did we get In returns sellout. They
told us we are striking for IS hours
-$26 the least for operators.
What did we get after being out
three weeks? -S71a hours and Is
per cent. No adjusting of the prices
in piece work. In some places work
ers were earning 81 a week, and now
they are making S. q week with q
union book costing $685..
Workers are being thrown out Of
the shops. Nothing Is being done.
would like to ask the chief racket
GERS, Mr.. Shorr or Mr.. Snyder, why
they promised them.
How Complaints Are Heard
It is just feartbreaking to see
workers coming to the office of Lo-
cal 81 with their complaints. Mr..
Shorr or Mr.. Snyder keep the work
erS waiting for hours outside Of their
office. After waiting for four or five
hours the workers are called in. They
wait in another room for three Or
four hours. Then the racketeers come
cut, write down the complaint on a
slip Of paper, saying they will attend
to 1t. But would like to know what
year they will attend to the com
plants Of the workers.
The union was on the rocks, they
needed money to enjoy themselves,
and also the gangsters needed jobs,
and had to be paid on the backs of
the workers. They fooled the work
,ers by calling out thousands of ex-
plotted and starving workers Just to
rob them Of few dollars and three
weeks Of striking, when the strike
was settled even before the workers
went out on strike.
Workers, form your shop commit
tees, price committees, rank and file.
and take over the leadership and
force the takers to live up to the
agreement.

Gall Nc CdIILcu OuG Only IL we nave q
strong Party core inside the revolu-
tionary trade unions. All the tasks
can be carried out only if we have
a leading fraction in the union that
acts inside the trade union as po-
htical body and gives political guild
ance to all Of the workers Of the
trade union.
At the present time we still have
a very bad division between the
Party comrades engaged in so-called,
INSIDE Party work and those engaged
in trade union work. In practice we
still have situation where the ma
jority of our Party comrades en-
gagged in trade union work are too
busy building" the union, and there
fore have no time to build the Party.
On the other hand, comrades who
are engaged in inside Party work,
meaning especially the Section and
Unit cadres, up till the present time
have not orientated themselves to-
wards participating in the struggles
Of the workers taking place in their
respective territories and ere en-
gagged in building the Party" with
out building the trade unions.
1t is time for all comrades to
know that the revolutionary trade
unions cannot be built without
building the Party at she same
time, and, on the other hand, the
Party cannot be built unless the
Party participates in building the
revolutionary trade unions.
Up to the present time the COM
rades try to solve this question by
blaming one another. Party COM
rades in the trade unions blame the
comrades outside the trade unions,
and vice versa. It is quite plain
that this Is not the solution to the
problem. If the following method
would be pursued we would come
nearer to the solution OF this ques-
ton: 1t Is beyond doubt that our
trade union leaders are In touch with
thousands Of non-Party workers. Our
trade union leaders are the ones who,
under the leadership of the Party,
are preparing the workers for strug-
gle from time to time. Whenever
such preparation takes place, the
trade union comrades must be the
initiators In calling, through the Dis
trtct Committee of the Party, a meet

which meeting all the details of the
coming struggle will be discussed by

wes left alone and had to find work
TO support M child and myself. My
son Is POW . years of age, and until
q few years ago I worked to raise
HIM ana seGd HIM through elemen-
tary and nigh school.
After Ben graduated rom high
school he came to Los Angeles and
found work here. After some time he
sent for me, as l was living in
Chicago.
I ives always a reTOlutiOnist and
radical and of course tried to raise
my son in that spirit and showed him
the existing struggle between Capt.
tai and Labor. Through my influ-
enca he became a member Of the
Young Communist League.
Both Unemployed
When his employer learned this,
he Immediately fired Ben, and he
never found another lob I was
tailor on mems clothing but l could
not find work. We were both unenl-
ployed. Conditions became worse
daily and this only made Ben IN
derstand conditions better and he
threw himself into the movement
with a fighting spirit.
During this time my son and I
lived in q room given to US gratis.
But We could not remain there for
long. for We found out it was nothing
but brothel and a miniature
"speakeasv."
1t was at this time that Ben was
arrested together with other young
comrades during the Olympic Games
for featuring Mooney plaCards. They
were all sentenced to nine months
in Jail but the case was appealed,
and due to the hard fight Of Leo
Gallagher and the International La
Dor Defense, the sentence was reduced
to six months, which he is now
serving
While Ben was yet out on bail,
he went to San DISCO 10 aid workers
in eviction cases and was again ar
rested and sentenced to two years.
Eut again, through Callagners fight,
the sentence was reduced to one year,
