City Executive Committee.
"'The City Executive Commit
tee decided to inform you that the
Socialist Party Is working with the
Ur;ted Textile Unicn. locally as
we'll rs nationally. We are coop

Is. the best help we can render

'rhe City Executive Committee Of
the Socialist Party thus completely
sidetracks the issue. In response to
the appeal of the Communist Party
for united action on the most burn
ms, Urgent issue confronting the en-
tire working class, ie., support to
the he.cic textile strike, broad mass
protest, at the reign Of terror and
military dictatorship against the
strikers. the New York Socialist
leaders resort to subterfuge, to an
attempt to hide the issue. The ap-
peal Of the Communist Party called
for United action to rally the broad
masses in support of the textile
strike. The reply that the Socialist
Party was cooperating with the
union is an evasion Of the issue.
This reply is also significant for
another reason.
"-he union the Socialist execu-
tive rcterS to is the United Textile
Uni7r. All through the strike the
Est leaders have been working
hand in hard with German, Nc
Mshen and Green. In fact, upon
their own admission in this letter,
they share responsibility for the
oon6uct Of the strike and its settle
rnent.
"Why has there not been a
single protest from the Socialist
leaders against the shameful
treacheroas betrayal Of German,
Green and Co.? What have the
Socialist leaders done to expose
and fight against the betrayal Of
this magnificent struggle that had
the textile industry tied up ma
tionally, that had victory practi-
caliy assured?
1.-THE situation is clear The So
cialist leaders used subterfuge, eva
sion and delay to reject the call for
a united front within the masses
behind the textile strike, and choose
instead united front with the
Germans, Greens and VOLS. the
vile strikebreaking agents Of the
bosses.
"The Communist Party will not
allow this subtetfuge and double
dealings to discourage the struggl"
for united action. The Ccmmunis9
Party will not give up the fight fo~
the united front of Socialist and
Communist workers. The Comnu-
mist Party knows that you, Socialist
workers, are for unity of action in
defense Of the interests Of the work
ing class. The Communist Party
does not withdraw its proposal for
negotiations with the Socialist Party
leading to effective united action for
unemployment insurance and relief,
against the growing menace of fas-
cism and war, for workers rights.
The Communist Party turns to
you. members and followers OF the
Socialist Party. You are decisive.
Your leaders are evidently paying
hip service to, but in reality sabotag-
ing the united front. Only your
pressure, only your initiative will
end the policy Of division of the
ranks Of the workers. Act. See
that your honest desire for united
action is carried out in your branch,
IN your union, in all organizations.
"At this time in New York City,
the bankers and their servant La
Guardia are starving the unem-
pioyed. They declare the unem-
ploved shall not eat: their children
shall go hungry and perish unless
you paw higher fare. This situation
demands united action of all work
