SENA TE SILVER
BLOCMEETS

A conference Of the Senate
silver bloc, with % Senators ex-
pected to attend, was called for
this afternoon for adoption Of a
program on silver legislation.
The silver bloc was to deter
mine whether to support the
Dies bill, just passed by the
House, the Wheeler-King bill, OF
some other measure. The Dies
bill would create a commission
to sell $4OO,0OO.OOO of agricul-
tural products abroad and to &C.
cept payment in silver at a Is
per cent premium over the world
silver market price.
The Wheeler-King bill, mod
eled after the Feisinger bill in
the House, would authorize pur-
chases Of silver at world market
prices. The silver then would be
used as bullion to support the
issuance of silver Treasury GER
tificateS, which would be issued
against the world value Of the
bullion in terms Of gold. Its pro-
ponents declared there would be
no initiation about the program
but that it would tend to in.
crease the basic money in use,
enhance export trade and help
bring about economic recovery.
The silverites were hopeful Of
agreeing on q bill that can pass
the Senate.

Of Forces For Strike

NEW YORK Efforts for united

In a second communication to
David Dubinsky, president of the
International Ladies Garment Work
ers Union, Ben Gold, secretary of

ers Industrial Union, reiterates the
proposal of a joint meeting of the

letter, to which there has been no
reply, was sent on July 81.
The Knitgoods Workers Indus

pointing out that while company
unionism is spreading in the knit
goods trade, it is still possible to
check 1t by a unification of all
union forces. 1t is calling upon
all knit goods workers to take
part in demonstration today at

conducted any struggle against fas-
cism. On the contrary, the Social
Democratic Party revealed itself,
even in the very February days,
merely as a barrier to the workers
struggle, hindrance to the united
struggle against capitalism. In a
whole series of localities it was only
the fact of the Social Democratic
Party leaving the workers without
arms and restraining them from the
struggle which enabled the bour-
geoisie to retain its power without
any big effort. If the Social-Demo-
cratic Party is dissolved, it is pre-
cisely because this restraint did not
succeed everywhere, because the
revolutionary masses of workers
broke the organizational discipline
of the S. P. A. and resorted to arms.
For these reasons the bourgeoisie re-
garded the Social-Democratic Or
ganization as already incapable of
fulfilling any longer the tasks al
lotted to it.

Democratic Party of Austria and
the Second International seek to
exploit this fact for their own use.
They affirm that the dissolution is
proof of the hatred and OPPOSE
ton of capitalism against Social
Democracy. But this subtle twist
ing of the facts has received refu-
tation by, among other things, the
warm words of recognition for the
counter-revolutionary role of Austo-
Marxism used by outstanding repre-
sentatives of the Austrian bour-
geoisie. Each syllable of this praise,
which is meant seriously and cyni-
cally, throws an effective light on
the role Of the Social Democracy.
