down fluctuations of the Socialist vote
1t is this fact that shows the true significance
of the increase of Is per cent in the Socialist vote
The gain is really SLIM especially if contrast
the vote this year with the larger vote in 1890. We
must not forget that in 1882 Hillqu received almost
quarter of million votes when he ran for Mayor
Thus the increase in the Socialist vote does not
represent real growth of influence or prestige
among the masses.
In contrast to the steady growth of the Com
munist vote, the Socialist vote has fuctuated up
ana down, sign that they are making no great
Roadway among the workers.
The main lesson that the Party and the New
York working class must learn from the Communist
vote is that the highest votes were recorded in
those sections of New York where the PARTY or
ganzed and led mass struggles in defense Of the
daily needs of the masses. The workers who fol-
lowed the Party in fighting for relief and higher

and to convince them of the correctness of the Com
munlst program. Nevertheless, the great increase
IN the Communist vote is reflection of the left
ward movement of the toilers and shows the great
possibilities for the growth of the Communist move
ment.
1t shows that the influence of the Communist
Party is growing, and that the Party is develop
ing new methods of work which are attracting the

Communism Of Importance to Party members is
the proof that the situation is favorable to obtain

The Communist vote in New York City rose

NOW we can estimate the results of Tuesdays cleo
~ lions in New York City. Two significant facts
stand out from an analysis of the vote the Demo-
cratic sweep which gave them control of the State
Legislature for the first time since 1918, and the
sharp increase in the Communist vote
The conclusion to be drawn from the Demo-
cratic landslide not that it represents the con-
tinued faith of the masses in the New Deal as the
capitalist press maintains. That the faith of the
masses in the New Deal is being shaken is evident
from the mounting wave of struggles, but the masses
cling to the possibility that Roosevelt will still do
something for them.
They still hope to be able to obtain concessions
from the capitalists through Roosevelt. They hope
that some of his promises may yet be realized In
voting for Lehman they were voting to give Roose-
welt more time. They were clnging to shreds of
hope that his promises would be fulfilled
The masses support Roosevelt because the Com
munist Party which has led the workers counter

Especial to the Daily WORKER

MADRID, Nov. 8. (By Wireless)
Fighting broke out in Madrid to-
day, and in the clashes between
Syndicalists and the police several
were wounded. Resurgence of
powerful general strikes, which
broke out yesterday and this after
noon in such widely separated re-
gionS as Barcelona, Madrid and
Murcia, gives abundant proof that
despite the recent defeats inflicted
on the revolutionary front of the
Spanish masses the unstable fascist
administration is unable to con-
solidate its power in the face of
the heavy blows now being directed
against it.
The SyndicahstS, who had been
prevented by their leaders from en-
tering with full force the struggle
against fascism led by the united
front of Communists and Socialists,
now are throwing themselves every
where into united action for the I'LL
innate victory of the Spanish pro-
letariat.
In Murcia 300 workers of various
political groupings battled against
troops and police in a furious pros st
against the fascist execution of fell
low workers who had participated
in the recent revolt.
A joint strike call was issued by
the Syndicalists and Anarchists in
order to prevent the execution of
two anti-fascists in Barcelona, Jose
Naredo and Guerra Pardo, who
were later mercilessly murdered.
While the Communist and Socialist
workers joined in action in the gen.
eral walk-out, Socialist leaders were
reported as having refused to sup
port the strike. BY this afternoon
the strike had spread to the two
vital industries of the city, textile
and metallurgy.
Mea while numerous rebel
strongholds in northern Spain, and
especially in Asturias Province, are
successfully resisting every attempt
of the mercenary troops to crush
them.

wages, for the immediate payment of the bonus and
other immediate issues supported the Party at the
polls. 1t is significant that the candidates who
received the highest vote were those who had led
important mass struggles. To increase our in
fluence and to get more votes we must intensity
our leadership of mass struggles This is the best
way to win the workers for Communism and our
Party.
The main lesson for the working class is that
the Democratic victory will not lead to a left"
turn on the part of the administration Instead of
being mandate to give further concessions, it will
be used by the administration as a mandate to in
crease the bosses attacks against the working class
to continue and sharpen the whole New Deal pro-
gram that is leading to and fascism
Already the victorious New Deal is preparing
new infaticnary moves to increase profits and
lower wages even below their present low and in
adequate level. The terror against strikers will be

OVERS CLOSE
BLEACH MILL
IN JERSEY
Arbitration Proposal
of Labor Board Is
Jeered by Strikers
By George Morris

PATERSON, N. J.,-Nov. "a
telegram which called upon dye
strikers to return to work and
leave their demands in the hands of
the arbitration board, was answered
with the closing of the Standard
Bleachery at East Rutherford, and
a unanimous determination to fight
until a victorious end. The tele-
gram was greeted with jeers at the
strike meetings in Paterson, Pas
sale and Lodi, and denounced as a
strike breaking move.
1000 Picket
The closing of the Standard took
effect this morning. Yesterday a
picket line of 1000 served notice on
the owners who wisely needed the
warning. This followed the closing
of the Millbank Bleachery at Lodi
yesterday. Both plants, it was
found, were dyeing silk.
Today, another conference opened
here at the call of the National
Textile Labor Board, with Benjamin
Squires and Nathan Shefferman OF
the Board present. The union made
it clear that unless a better offer
than twenty three dollars a week
for thirty-six hours is made, there
is no sense in a conference.
With the tie-up complete, the
strikers began their third week out
with spirits higher than at any time
before, and they feel that victory is
near.
George Baldanzi, President of the
Dyers Federation, speaking before
the PaSsaic strikers last night, again
told the workers that if there is a
better offer by the workers, it will
be placed before them. There will
be no German" he said. He ex-
planned that the workers can never
get any advantages out of arbitra-
ton and stated that he would rather
support return to work on the
present terms than trust an arbitra-
ion board. The workers responded
with very enthusiastic applause.
Stresses Need of Vigilance
Benti, President of the Passaic
local, followed and alarmed the
workers to the need of greater
vigilance in picketing. He explained
that now that elections are over, the
bosses will bring in hired thugs and
police and will get into more action.
He pointed out that the purpose
OF the Labor Board telegram
is only to open up a strike
breaking effort and every work.
er can expect a letter from mis-
employer asking him to return to

He showed that mass picketing

the meeting plans were made for
picketing at the Standard.

sale meeting was Jack Rubinstein.

Leib 0 witz Maneuvers
Hamper Fund Raising,
Says Statement

Six thousand dollars must be
raised within the next few days to
safeguard the legal and mass cam
paign to stop the execution of
Clarence Norris and Haywood Pat
terson, which it is conducting, the
National Executive Committee of
the International Labor Defense
announced yesterday.
In statement making clear its
position as the legal defender of
the Scottsboro boys, and pointing
out the necessity for the broad
est campaign, the I. L. D. con-
demned the splitting tactics of
Samuel Leibowitz and his support
ers, showing how these attacks
were designed to cripple the defense
both financially and legally.
The statement urgently calls on
all organizations and individuals
who are fighting sincerely for the
lives of the Scottsboro boys to
make immediate contributions to
safeguard the defense.
The text Of the 1, L. D. statement
follows.
Only % Days Left
only % days remain in which to
defeat the decree of the Alabama
rulers to burn Haywood Patterson
and Clarence Norris in the electric
chair.
"All sincere lovers Of justice, all
honest defenders of human rights,
all ss-conscious workers must
join in the fight to stop the hand
of the eXecutioner, reaching daily
nearer to the fatal switch,
"In spite of any statements that
have been issued in the past or may
be issued in the future, by Lei
bowitz and his cohorts, the I. L. D.
is in this case to carry it through
until the Scottsboro boys are I'M
conditionally freed. We will fight
every inch of the way to prevent
the case from falling into the
hands of the betrayers. The let
tiers of the boys, the report of
Benjamin j. Davis, Jr., show clearly
that any papers the boys may have
signed, excluding the I. L. D., were
obtained by deception and coercion.
I. L. d. in Full Charge
"The International Labor De-
tense is in full charge of both the
legal and mass phases of the de-
tense. Application for review by
the U. S. Supreme Court has been
filed by our attorneys, Joseph
BrodSky, OSmond K. Fraenkel, and
Walter H. Pollak, Printing of the
briefs is now going on. We must
speed up the appeals to the U. S.
Supreme Court, and organize the
broadcast mass movement in the
short period left in order to stop
the hideous legal lynching of the
Scottsboro boys.
1.-THE dastardly betrayal of the
Scottsboro boys, and the attacks
made upon their defense by the
lawyer, Samuel S. Leibowitz and
a group of Negro and white trail
tors, have been exposed. The APP
peal of the four Scottsboro moth
ers, and the new retainers signed

ris, together with their letters,
reiterating their faith in the I. L. D.
make it clear that the I. L. D.

lives of these innocent Negro boys.
