the strike and fight for the VIC
tory of the textile workers.
THE enthusiastic response of
the textile workers to the strike
call indicates that the masses of
textile workers, Negro and white,
who, for years having been sub
jected to the most ruthless ex-
ploitation by the mill owners, are
militantly determined to fight for
their demands and end the mis-
cradle conditions which prevail in
the industry. 1t indicates that the
workers no longer believe this can
be achieved by further reliance
upon arbitration schemes and al
lowing their struggle to be post
poned.
Arrogant Stand Of Bosses
1.-THE arrogant stand of the en-
ployers in refusing to consider the
justified demands of the textile
workers, calls for immediate con-
certed action on the part of all
textile workers and textile workers
unions to make our strike the most
effective in the history of the tex
tile industry 1t is clear that to
win better conditions can only be
achieved by militant strike
struggle To win the strike, unity
and solidarity on the part Of all
textile workers and Unity Of action
by all existing textile unions, is of
paramount Importance and an alb
solute necessity.
From the first days of It's ex-
istence, the National Textile Work
ers Union has worked untiringly
to organize and lead the workers
into militant struggle for decent
wages and living conditions. 1t
has worked to unite the ranks Of
textile workers on the basis of a
program of struggle as opposed to
all class collaboration schemes,
which always result in betraying
the interest of the workers in a
maze of government arbitration
boards, which are controlled by
the employers.
THE National Executive Board
of the NT.WU., concerned with
the most vital interests of the
hundreds of thousands Of textile
workers and with the victory of
the general strike, adopted de-
cision which seeks to create the
possibility and basis for the great
est unification and solidarity of
the textile worker, a unity required
to win this strike.
eve direct ourselves to the Gen
eral Executive Board of the
U.T.W., TO the general strike com
mittee, to all local unions and to
the membership Of the U.T.W.

For ThaInann
Three Months Silence
ShrOuds Anti-Nazi
Leaders, Fate

NEW YORK-Calling for renewed
efforts to pierce the veil of silence
that has overhung Ernst Thael-
mann, German Communist leader
imprisoned for the last eighteen
months in Nazi dungeon, the
National Committee to Aid the Vic
tins of German Fascism yesterday
declared in a statement that it has
been unable to get information on
the condition of Thaelmann for al
most three months.
mot single bit of information
has been received concerning the
safety or Whereabouts of Ernst
Thaeimann in the last eighty DAYS. :"
the statement said.
Detailing the various organiza-
tons which have made fruitless eff
forts to make contact with Thael-
mann, and steps to be under
taken, the statement continues:
Neither the Pairs World Com
mittee to Aid Hitler Victims. the
International Committee for Lib
GRAFTON of ThaeImann, the Inter
national Labor Defense nor the
National Committee have been
able to secure a single word of
news as to the fate of ThaeIuann
and his fellow prisoners since the
Saar workers delegation saw
Thaelmann in June.
I'VE must break through this
silence of the Nazi prisons and
torture camps. A flood of reg
istered letters should be addressed
to DIR. Franz Guertner, Minister of
Justice, Berlin, by thousands of
organizations and individuals de-
manding to hear from ThaeI-
mann and demanding to know
where he is incarcerated.
Protests should accompanv
these letters against the arrest of
the anti-faScist committee which
entered Germany few days ago
to inquire as to the safety of all
anti-fascist prisoners.

Communist Party, who, in speech
made at the banquet table, said:
at is a special event not only
because we take the pleasure of
greeting Bob Minor, but also be-
cause we are celebrating the f1f-
tenth anniversary of our Party.
When we talk about Bob Minor we
are talking about the history of the
Communist Party. So it Is not an
ordinary birthday party"

various sections of the working
class to Robert Minor were made

editor of the Daily Worker; James
Ford, outstanding Negro Communist
leader in America; Max Bedacht,
one of the founders of the Com

with proposal for the holding of
joint conference.
This Joint Conference shall dis
cuss the ways and means for es-
tablishing such unity and soli-
darity on the basis of a common
program for one strike, one strike
leadership, one set of demands, so
as to present a united front to the
employers.
Case Of Paterson
"In the particular case of Pater-
son and Lodi, N, j., where the
danger of two separate strike COM
mittees exists, which will tend to
weaken the ranks, the National
Textile Workers Union proposes to
achieve the desired unity of action
by means of merging the National
Textile Workers Union organiza-
tion with the locals of the United
Textile Workers on the basis of
the following: Cd The acceptance
by the U.T.W. of the members of
the N.TW.U. on the basis of no
discrimination against any member
or leader of the merging of N. T.
WI. organization: ~ A guarantee
Of full democratic rights for all
N.TW.U. members joining the
U.TW. and their right to psrtici-
pate in all affairs of the union
and in the strike leadership.
THE N.T.W.U. feels that its
general proposals for united ac-
ton and the merging of our To-
Gals into the U.T.W. in the above
localities, will strengthen the con-
f1dence of the workers, will in
crease the enthusiasm for the
strike, will be blow to the bosses
in the textile industry, who seek
to keep the workers ranks divided
(among other ways by a violent
Indictment against the most mill
tant element of the textile workers
under cover Of a red scare which
is participated in by various lead
erS Of the U.T.W), and will result
in establishing every guarantee for
splendid victory of the strikers.
The National Executive Board of
the =T,T.WU. urges the general
executive board, the local unions
and the membership of the U.T.W.
to appreciate the necessity and ur-
gency of our proposals for unity
and united action in the strike,
and to Immediately communicate
with our union accepting our pro-
posals for joint conferences to es-
tablish this unity. The N.T.W.U.,
in deciding to participate fully in
the strike and calling It's member
ship out to fight side by side with
the U.TW. members, at the same
time urges the UT.w. to meet our
steps for united action and united
struggle, which means victory"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 81
Observers here were greatly sur
prised to read today in the Wal
Street Journal that English textile
firms are receiving considerable
numbers of orders from American
mills despite big inventories. This
employer tactic was interpreted as
evidence of a determination to make
a lengthy fight against the desperate
employees, worn out and near star

alton under the MIRA. code.

Oldsmobile Sales on
Increase Over Last Year

"Oldsmobile retail sales for the
first ten days of August were 9 per-
cent greater than for the first ten
days OF July" according to d. e. Raj
ston. vice president and general sales
manager of Oldsmobile.
This increase in sales during the
first part OF August is unusual in
the automobile industry" continued
Mr.. Ralston. Reports from Odds
mobile dealers throughout the coun-
try indicate IN exceptional demand
for both the Oldsmobile six and
straight eight to the end that we
expect this month to be the biggest
August In Oldsmobile's history"
Both the Oldsmobile six and eight
have enjoyed remarkable acceptance
from the motor buying public this
year. This is best proved by the
fact that Oldsmobile sales to date
are 100 per cent ahead OF last year"
said Mr.. Ralst0n.

State r Director Makes
Many Wage Adjustments

Miles Romney, State NRA Direct
or, states that back wages aggregat-
ing about $4,000 were paid to more
than $500 workers as the result OF
the adjustment by state MIRA direct
ors OF approximately nine hundred
complaints during the tWo-Weeks
period ending August 4, and in the
two weeks ending July 21st, approx
imately one thousand adjustments
by state directors restored more than
s106, 900 in wages to 1890 employees.
The figures for the combined four
weeks period, reported by the NRA'g
compliance division, show that, all
together, almost two thousand cases
were adjusted by state directors, and
back wages totalling over a hundred
and e~ighty-two thousand dollars were
restored. All OF these complaints
were settled without reference to the
NRA's washington headquarters.
Mr.. Romney announced the re-
moval of the Blue Eagle Insignia
from the Lewis Cleaners of Missoula,
Montana.
This firm was found to have vio-
lated the wage and hour provisions
of the Code of Fair Competition for
the Cleaning and Dyeing Trade, and
refused to make adjustments to conn.,
ply with the code. The order pro-
vides that this concern Immediately
surrender its Blue Eagle and that 1t
refrain from future display Of the
MIRA insignia.

Plentywood Lady
illustrates Hold Up Man

Grabbing a man who had threaten
ed her and was attempting to rifle a
cash register at a cafe in Glasgow,
Mrs. Ed Berlandi, formerly Of Plen-
tywood, and waitress in the cafe,
frustrated a robbery which officers
said might have been more serious.
Robert Williams, So, who told the
police he had formerly worked at the
Boulder dam was arrested soon after
the robbery and is being held In the
county jail.
According to the Glasgow Courier
the man entered the cafe and called
for a cup OF coffee. AS Mrs. Berlandi
went to the rear of the room for 1t,
the robber opened a cash register
Mrs .Berlandi, returning, saw him
and ran to the register.
Although the man pressed an OBJ
ject against her and threatened to
shoot, she screamed and was heard
by Mrs. X. Dohi, who was In the
restaurant kitchen. AS she ran from
the kitchen, the mar hastily grabbed
into the register, obtaining about
$13.
Williams, still running, was arrest
ed q few moments later near the
Great Northern depot by Patrolman
Rogers, after an alarm had been Civ
en-. Officers found ST in silver In
his possession, but there was no
trace OF a gun or a SIS bill which had
been taken from the register. Police
believe there may have been a CON
federate standing outside the rest
Aurant.
