TWO outstanding factors underlie
all developments in Spain since
the October armed uprising. On
the one hand, the toiling popula-
ton shows no expression of defeat.
There is no pessimism. It's fighting
spirit was not crushed. SIP ain
Seethes with growing discomfort
and rapidly maturing new battles.
The great reserves of workers and
peasants who were not drawn into
the revolutionary struggles are rest
i've. The workers organizations not
only were not destroyed but are
growing. The masses are discussing
with the greatest enthusiasm the
course of the battles. the reason for
failure, and especially the achieve
ments of the Asturias Soviets. The
anarchist leaders are losing their
grip on the Catalonian workers, and
the Communist Party is growing
rapidly.
On the other hand, the fascist
regime has the greatest difficulty
solidifying it's rule and asserting it,
brutal dictatorship. Its mass base is
weak, disorganized, conflicting, in
decisive. The ruling landlords, in
dustrial capitalists, flnanciers an6
the bloodsucking church hierarch'
have clashing interests which
sharpen as the crisis of Spanisl-
capitalism grows worse.
Need World Support
In its hysteria, fear and rage, the
Spanish bourgeoisie Slaughters and
harnesses the arrested toilers, but
is split even on the question of the
degree of its gone revenge. And it
is here where the International &C
ton of the workers, the united front
in support of the Spanish fighters,
becomes of the greatest Importance,
of the most powerful immediate
value to our Spanish comrades
against their hangmen. While kill
ing hundreds in secret in Asturias,
only two workers up to date were
executed as a sort of national ex-
ample to the revolutionists. These
butcheries were met with strike ac-
tons on large scale.
No Spirit of Defeat
AS a correspondent of the Daily
Worker in Madrid described the
situation existing on November /
nearly one month after the fighting
There is not the slightest
spirit of defeat among the work
ers. The glorious Commune of
Asturias is the main topic of dis
cussion among them. AsturiaS has
become the guiding light of the
Spanish workers. They hail La
Commune of Spain. The workers
are learning more and more of
what happened; are discussing
their mistakes, preparing to gain
by them. This is frightening the
despair of the bourgeoisie.

Company Unions

the labor provisions" of the N. R.
A. with the Labor Department as a
front, Madame Secretary declined
to comment. She admitted, how
ever, that she had read of the plan.
What is in the ofing for labor as
far as majority representation and
the threat of the company union
was made quite clear when Sec
rotary Perkins, using typical Rich
berg talk, tried to convince skep-
tical correspondents that the Roose-
welt administration had used only
its good offices in last years auto
mobile trouble" and that the
notorious proportional voting (conl-
pany tinion) and Auto Board settle
ment was "a voluntary contract"
between the employers and employ
ees; in brief, that the Roosevelt ad-
ministration had not used every
means at its disposal to break the
emerging strike
In the meantime, the govern
ment, it is understood, is drawing
up an economy" program that
threatens the dismissal of many
employees. 1t is reported that de-
partment heads have been notified
by budget officials to cut costs in
submitting their estimates for the
new budget for the fiscal year be-
ginning July l, 1885. War prepare
tons expenditures, however, are to
be increased

ficult time trying to institute its
dictatorship over the workers. The
type of fascism, based on the
church and religious trimmings,
sought by Gil Robes, is finding
the greatest difficulty as the
workers are learning what fasciSm
is. The briefest perturbation of
the situation in Spain today Is
that of an invading army which
has managed to seize some Of the
important fortified points, but is
awaiting with fear and trepida-
ton the attack Of hostile pOpu-
lation."
Failure and inability to CONSOLE
date the fascist regime in Spain led
to a partial cabinet crisis on No
vember II. Foreign Minister Ri
cardo Sampler Ibanez and War Min
lister Diego Hidalgo were forced to
resign. The fascist leader Robes
precipitated their resignation on
the ground that Civil Guard forces
should have been increased and
Greater counter-revolutionary meas
ures taken against Socialists and
Communists in Asturias before the
armed uprising. Robes, unlike
Hitler, repeatedly denies fascist in
tent and declares his love for the
republic.
Crisis Is Acute
The economic crisis, especially
acute in Spain before the revolu-
tionary struggles, now with the
victory" of fascism, is plunging
toward catastrophe. Starvation is
becoming the lot of greater masses
of peasants. Unemployment almost
doubled when work began after the
general strike. The financial con-
dition of the government, always in
creasingly bad, is now grave. The
cost of the civil war was so great
that the government gladly &C
cepted donations from every mon
archist and capitalist source X
help pay for the slaughter of the
workers. Ex-King Alfonso donated
$4,000 pesetas. All of the big com.
panies and landowners added theil
bit. Even the American Telephone
& Telegraph Co., and other Wal
Street corporations in Spain con
tributed thousands Of pesetas to tn
fund for the armies which killec
the workers.
The mutinies which occurred il
the armed forces during the fight
ing hang over Spanish fascism lik'
heavy cloud. Besides the regi
ment at Corona, and the sailors a
Santander, who refused to go int
action against the. workers, Their
is the case of Lieutenant Colone
Lopez Bravo of the African troop
who were ordered to Spain. Brav
was arrested and is now in prison
because he declared: They will nc
shoot down their brothers"

Shop Settles
In Detroit
Especial to the Daily worker)

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 27-As
the general strike in the Detroit
Fur industry today concluded its
second week, another fur shop set
tied on the unions terms, making
eighteen in all. Twenty-one shops
are still out. The strike is led by
the militant Fur Workers AsSocia-
ton, affiliated with the Trade Union
Unity League, and the overwhelm-
ing majority of the $50 workers in
the industry have been involved.
Mass picketing has taken place
daily and the spirit of the strikers
Is strong.
All the settlements are hundred
per cent victory for the workers,
including wage increases ranging
from As to 100 per cent, a 35-hour,
five-day week, time and half for
overtime, equal pay for equal work,
equal division of work, legal holi-
days off, and recognition of the
union.

1t is time to call a halt to the
hunger offensive of the auto mag

1t is time to voice mighty pro-

If we do not act now, hunger

Workers struck on the relief jot

went to Madrid with Rebate, repre-

5000 Are Dead
The International Labor Defense
of Spain, from official figures, and
from its own reports, estimated the
losses of the revolutionary strug-
giles in Spain as follows: 5000 dead
5000 wounded, 10000 prisoners
With regard to prisoners, the Off
cial figures show that in BARGE
Iona there are 5000 In prison anc
5000 in Madrid. All jails are
frightfully overcrowded, five or siz
prisoners being packed into cells
meant for one.
The Spanish section of the Inter.
national Labor Defense, addressing
itself to the workers in all coun.
tries, on their tasks in defense o.
the Spanish workers in the present
situation, declared:
Thousands of families and or.
phans are left completely destitute
Mass arrests are still being made
all over Spain, and there are moi
enough prisons to hold the arrested
so that they are being packed like
cattle into improvised concentra-
