The American situation has, in fact,
dominated the whole conference. In
retrospect it Is clear the conference
should have been postponed when the
dollar went off gold, ana reconvened
only after the main developments OF
the new American policy had become
known and after diplomatic conversa-
tions starting with that known factor
had defined the main issue clearly and
foreshadowed the marin lines Of agree
ment
We now have to deal with results and
with the future. Certainly the les
sons of these disillusioning weeks should
not be lost. The conference must not
be convened again until Americas sit
uation has developed and her policy is
clearly known There should be an
effort to obtain agreement on main
principles among the more important
countries before the full conference
meets again.
But there are many matters on which
agreement will be vital, whatever may
be the main course and policy pursued
by different governments. To take one
example: Supposing that high protec-
tion must be assumed for considerable
period to come It is of the utmost i'm
pOrtance in that event that each cOlln-
try which thus excludes the imports Of
others should accept at once the ulti-
mate and inevitable consequence to its
own exports. Otherwise we shall have
a most dangerous period of competitive
subsidies and state-aided dumping
Recovery Is Slowed.
The immediate effect of the present
failure will be loss of great opportu-
nifty to accelerate and extend the re-
covery movement already in progress. It
will retard and restrict that recovery,
but 1t is unlikely to destroy or reverse it.
However, it viii leave the economic life
Of the world to develop on more ma
tionalistic and more dangerous lines,
and will deprive every country Of the
additional prosperity which its share Of
the larger external trade would have
given it.
We shall have to feel our way back
more slowly and more painfully than
we had hoped, to a saner, safer world.
Failure of the Conference is due to q
combination of neutrality-suspicious.

not important, but it has been demon

hundred shoe workers came out on

the increases promised following
their militant strike last March. At

The strike is due to the example set

Co. He herded scabs in the shop

He NOW OPERATES private de-
tective agency on South High st.
here in Columbus. He was expelled
from the Unemployed Councils
after one months membership. All
this was known to the leaders Of
the Ohio Unemployed Leagues be-
fore the convention opened. Yet
now he is a member Of the Frank
lin County Grievance Committee
of the Leagues.
Furthermore, it was known before
the Convention opened-at least for
or 5 days as can be seen by the
photostatic copy Of his letter to the
local papers-that Gerstner and his
brain ust-Clowe-were organizing
an opposition to united action with
the Unemployed Councils, were Wig
orously opposing the creation of a
federated movement, were undermin-
ing the prestige of the state leader
ship of the Leagues-Truax and
Johnson-and were arousing all of
the patriotic, anti-red sentiments
latent in the minds of the militant,
but politically undeveloped workers
of Franklin and Athens counties.
To cap Off their whole action,
Gerstner established a guard of Sc
lected workers armed with clubs
which for day and a half patrol
led the fair grounds and controlled
the gates and entrances to the con-
vention hall. In short Gerstner and
Glove tried to create a real fascist
atmosphere around the convention,
stirring up the bitterest feelings
against the Unemployed Councils and
against those who urged joint action
with the Councils.

In this situation what stand did
the leadership Of the League take?
Did they take steps to politically iso-

the workers against them? There
were no such steps visible before or
during the convention. There was
talk in the corridors of the necessity
for doing it, but it was not done.

RETAIL FURRIERS'
CODE SEEKS TO
CUT UNION SCALE

NEW YORK.-The Retail Manu-
featuring Furriers of America, Inc,
made public last week the code
which they will propose to the gov
ernment under the Industrial Re-
covery (elavery Act. The code calls
for a minimum wage scale ranging
from $38 a week for finishers to
$50 a week for cutters,
The code also establishes a 35
hour week and declares against the
employment of child workers un-
der the age of is. Although the
code guarantees the right of the
workers to have voice in deter
mining working conditions, the
workers had nothing to say in the
draft of the manufacturers pro-
posals.

trial Union declared;
The Retail Furriers Association
consists of retail fur stores that also
carry on manufacturing of high
class furs for the wealthy ladies.
Workers working in these places are
manufacturing fur coats for the
wives of the bankers and indus
trial magnates such as, the Fords,
etc. They are making coats valued
ct tens of thousands of dollars.
Nevertheless, these retail manufac-
turing furriers are proposing mini
mum wage scales lower than the
minimum wage scales at the present
time prevailing in the fur industry.
A special committee of furriers is
at the present time working on a
program of demands comprising
wages, hours and sanitary condi-
tions.

ers.
This can be illustrated. The Ohio
Unemployed Leagues have. been or
ganized as mon political and nom
partisan. With this slogan they
fought the Unemployed Councils,
charging that the Councils were
Communist-contro Their orga-
nizers have gone up and down the
state attacking the Councils as pol
itical and partisan" (as CommunistD
and calling upon the workers to join
the "non-political, partisan" Un-
employed Leagues. In other words,
they stimulated and nourished the
most backward sentiments among the
workers.
1t is correct to draw into an un-
employed movement all workers re-
gardless of their political or other
opinions. But such a movement,
merely because republicans, socialists
and democrats are drawn in, cannot
be partisan" To be non
partisan means to make the organi-
cation prey for bourgeois politicians,
for even fascist tendencies such as
were brought forward by Gerstner
and Glove. 1t means that they tie
the workers more firmly to the old
parties through their active efforts to
keep them away from the Conmu-
mist Party.
This was the contradiction the
MusteiteS found themselves in. Frank
lin County delegates declared: "You
advised us not to join the Councils
because they are under Communist
leadership; you urged us to join the
'non-political, non-partisan' Unen-
'ployed Leagues, and now you urge us
to form federation with the Coun-
cils. How do you justify such
course?" The Communist senti-
ment had been stirred up and crys-
tallized by the Musteites themselves.
These very sentiments were then
used by couple of fascists to para
lyze the convention. ......
The Musteite leadership could not
effectively resist their attack, be-
cause to do so meant to defend the
class struggle policies of the Councils.
1t meant to sharply attack the policy
of relying on the friendship" Of To-
cal capitalist politicians as advocated
by Glove. 1t meant to abandon their
"non-political, non-partisan" label
and come out in defense of effective
working class political action. 1t
meant to make war against Gerst-
ner and Glove as against fascists-
but how could one remain mon
partisan" and yet drive Gerstner and
Glove out of the convention?
The Columbus State convention
which ended with only the most con-
fused line should serve as lesson
to the followers of this left" reform
ist position. 1t should make them
see the futility of a so-called middle
course which in reality only leads
the militant workers back into the
bourgeois camp.
