CP Leadership
to Be Urged at
Irish Congress

NEW YORK.-The Irish Work
ers' Clubs of the U. S. A., in state
ment supporting the National Irish
Republican Congress to be held in
Dublin Sept. % hail the Congress
as an historical event for The pur-
pose of building a united front of
action against the native ODuffy
fascism and the oppressive rule of
British imperialism"
The Congress has been called by
group Of prominent Republicans
who seeded from the last conven-
ton of the Irish Republican Army.
Pointing out the increasing mis-
cry of town and city laborers end
tenant-farmers of Ireland, and the
rapid growth of class divisions,
which provide the background for
the Congress, the statement de-
clares that the Fianna Fail govern
ment, swept into power in 1882 by
the Irish people in its desire for
national freedom, has done nothing
to touch the basic positions of
British imperialism and native
landlordism and capitalism in Ire
land.
At the same time, the Irish Re-
publican Army leadership have
stifled attempts to smash the fas-
ciSt movement, and have through
their policy of inaction helped the
growth Of the O'Duffy- Cosgrove
fascist faction.
Among those invited to the Con-
gress, around which all sincere
anti-imperialist and anti-fascist
elements are gathering, are trade
unionists, followers of Fianna Fail
and Labor Parties, tenant farmers,
farm laborers, the Irish Republican
Army, and the Communist Party of
ireland.
The statement of the Irish Work
ers, Clubs, emphasizing the neces-
sity of adopting a real united front
policy and program at the Congress
which will successfully combat
ODuffy fascism, continues:
1--WE are in full agreement with
the statement of the Workers
Council of Tralee, County Kerry,
No new political party is needed in
Ireland. We think that it will be to
the best Interests of the Irish
struggle if the Congress takes up:
"O Concrete steps for the united
struggle against fascism; "a means
to fight for the daily needs of the
masses; 80 a clear statement OF the
struggle for the overthrow of for
eign imperialism and native capt.
talisrn.
This struggle can be won only
under the leadership Of the Com
munist International and the Com
munist Party of Ireland. This can
be achieved only by recognizing the
leadership of the working class over
the anti-imperialist national liberia
ton struggle. The Irish workers in
the clubs here in America urge upon
the Congress, through our elected
representative, Frank Ryan, the
adoption of the Communist Party
proposals for the successful accom-
plishment of these historic tasks.

of this fact. Why? Because as
long as the masses of textile work
ers have illusions that the federal
government is their friend, that
Roosevelt and the N. R. A. are not
as bad as the textile employers and
the local government officials, the
strike is in danger of being broken
precisely by the federal government
through it's N. r. A. arbitration, as
sisted in this by German, Green,
etc.
In other words, the policy of the
Communists is to raise the strike
to higher political levels, lie. to
make the workers conscious Of the
facts that in this strike the front
of their enemies includes also the
federal government = the govern
ment of the United States = and
also to guard against betrayal,
against being stabbed in the back
and sold out by the reformist lead
ers of the A. F. of L. This is one
OF the purposes of what the Com
munists call politicalizing the strike,
making the workers direct their
struggle also against the govern
ment. It is one of the chief means
of enabling the workers to guard
against the maneuverS that are
coming from the federal govern
ment.
Points Revolutionary Way Out
This is not the only purpose the
Communists have in politicalizing
the strike, in raising it to higher
levels. The Communists also seek
that the workers should learn in
this strike, as in all strikes, that the
way out of their misery and suffer-
ing is the working class revolution,
the overthrow of the capitalist gov
eminent and the establishment of
a working class government,
Sovies government in the United
States. 1t is this that the social

brought before the Supreme Court
in two or three months.
Herr Babe declared - and this
certainly bears witness to the work
of the international campaign for
the freeing Of Ernst Thaelmann -
that he could be sentenced to only"
eight to ten years in jail In addi-
ton, we gave him some unpleasant
facts on the opinions held outside
of Germany on this matter Herr
Babe then explained that the trial
Of Thaelmann would be pitfall for
Communism.
Silence Answers Questions
I'VE then asked Herr Babe if he
knew that the French newspapers
had made public the fact that
Thaelmann was being mistreated in
prison, and that we were now doubly
sure of this. We got no answer to
this statement. His silence told us
that our information was correct.
While we were waiting to see
Thaelmann, and also the concen-
tration camps and the women's
prisons, this high official revealed
to us that neither Goebbels, nor the
government, not Hitler, has power
to grant us this privilege, which can
be granted to us only by the highest
court.
Then, on the next day, having
become convinced by the Gestapo
that we would never be given the
opportunity to see Thaelmann, we
got ready to go home"

Set for Rally
At City Hall
Unemployment Councils
Demand Appropriation
for Winter Relief

NEW YORK. 49, All workers
groups, employed and unemployed,
organized and unorganized, have
been urged to mobilize for q mass
demonstration at City Hall to-
morrow at II noon, when the Board
of Aldermen will meet to vote on
the LaGuardia relief tax program.
Demanding immediate appropria-
tons for financing adequate Winter
relief, the Unemployment Councils
will present a tax program to Mayor
The Council tax pro-
gram calls for an end to the debt
service payments to the bankers,
taxes on big business and public
utilities, and tax graduated up
wards on large incomes and in
heritances, in addition to taxation
of large realty holdings and present
properties.
The Councils point out that the
present proposed schemes of La
Guardia call for taxes on the en-
ployed workers and future drastic
cuts in city relief. Absolutely no
provision is made in the LaGuardia
schemes to take care of the addi-
tional unemployed who will be
thrown on the relief lists this com
ing Winter, and the amounts to be
provided for relief are actually less
than the present amounts expended.
The Chelsea and West Fifty Third
Street locals of the Council will
mobilize today at Alb w. 53rd st.
at IL noon and march to the 18th
precinct Home Relief Bureau at SIG
w. 54th st.
The New York County Council
yesterday urged all locals of the
Council which are themselves not
demonstrating today to support
these locals. They demand the i'm
mediate removal of the Supervisor,
Miss Burt, who in the past, they
point out, has Disseminated against
Negro and Jewish workers and all
forms of unemployed organizations.
Locals 2 and 8 of the Workers
Committee on Unemployment will
mass at Rutgers So. today at 10
a. m. and march to the relief bureau

Paris. They spent ten days in Ber-
lin, in the course of which they
found all ears deaf and all doors
closed against them. The delega-
ton was headed by Madame Crozet,
a professor of mathematics, and by
NJ. Cristofol, Secretary of the In
dependent Guild. Their report con-
tains the following statements:
we spent entire days waiting
about, in the attempt to obtain per-
mission to see Ernst Thaelmann.
We were shuttled from office to Of
flee. We therefore had ample op-
portunity to learn that Herr Goeb-
bells has seized on the idea of de-
handing that the different ENJOYS
and consulates of patent legality be
diverted from their attempts to see
anti-fascist prisoners, and especial
ly Ernst Thaelmann. The refusal
came on the grounds that it was not
possible to enter into the interior
politics of Germany.
GoebbeIs Bars Interview
1--WE finally had long interview
with the Undersecretary Of the Min
istry of Propaganda, Herr Babe,
who returned to us, in the name of
the Minister of Propaganda, the let
ter which we had served on Goeb-
bells. He first saw fit to answer
as we could have told him-that we
had been sent to Germany by an
independent guild and by a highly
biased group. He explained that
Thaelmann and Torgler were still
alive, and that Thaelmann would be

Frisco Judge Convicted
Workers Without Trial,
LID. Attorney Charges

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12.-How
six workers were sentenced to 60
days each in Jail without being
given hearing or any semblance
of trial was revealed here today
when International Labor Defense
Attorney George Anderson began a
move to have the cases reopened.
All six workers were active in the
recent general strike here.
Anderson charged that the labor
hating Judge George j. Steiger had
visited the men in prison and there
imposed sentence without their hay
ing made a plea or had hearing.
Judge Steiger's animus against la
Dor has been marked in numerous
vicious sentences against militant
workers arrested in the boss reign
OF terror and yigilante-police raids
which followed the general strike.
The defense attorney demanded
that the records of the cases be
produced in court. Superior Judge
I. M. Golden has ordered their pro-
duction, at the same processing he
"could not believe such things could
happen" Anderson's charges have
caused a sensation here.

Rehabilitation Means
Speeding of Struggle
for Soviet Power

faScistS seize upon to make the
workers believe that the Commu-
nists are interested only in revolu-
ton, but not in fighting for the
immediate interests of the workers.
We have shown already that this
is nonsense, sheer SANDER to cover
up their own betrayals.
The Communists frankly tell the
workers that as long as the capital
ist class is in power, and as long
as the capitalist system prevails,
there can be no end to exploitation,
hunger, faScism and war. Only
the overthrow of capitalist rule can
put an end to the iniquities and
brutality of capitalist rule. The
Communists frankly tell the work.
ing class to organize and prepare
for the overthrow of this rule, for
a Soviet America. But, and this is
important, the Communists also
never tire of telling the workers
that the road to the working class
revolution lies through the daily
mobilization of the working class in
the struggle for its daily immediate
demands.
BY raising these daily struggles to
higher political levels, by making
the workers more conscious of their
class interests and of their reYolu-
tionary aims, the Communists pre-
pare the working class for the revo-
lutionary struggle for power. The
more the textile strikers will be-
come conscious of their revolution
airy tasks, the better will they fight
for their daily needs and the closer
will they come to the decisive hour
of struggle for power. -

Aim Is To Win
Immediate Demands
of the Workers
By Alex BitteIman

The Daily Worker has already
had occasion to state the aims of
the Communists in the textile strike.
Here we wish to elaborate further
on this important question.
1t has already been demonstrated
to all who wish to see that the Com
munist Party seeks first of all to
help and lead the workers to VIC
tory in the textile strike. The first
aim of the Communists, therefore,
is to help the workers win their
immediate demands in this strike.
The brazen SANDER of the reform
ist leaders of the A. F. of L. Green,
German & Coz and also the sland-
ers by Norman Thomas, leader of
the Socialist Party, that the Com
munist Party is not interested in
the workers winning their economic
demands-have been exploded once
again.
Stress All Demands
The Communists differ from Cor
man & Co. not only on the ques-
ton of revolution, but also, and be-
cause of it, on the question of win
ming the immediate demands of the
workers in the strike. German &
Co. have become frightened of the
strike. They seek to liquidate it
as quickly as possible, using the N.
r. A. trick of arbitration, and
naturally, at the expense of the i'm
mediate demands of the workers.
The Communists greet the militancy
and determination of the workers.
The Communists say: the more of
this determination, the better, be-
cause only in this way can the strik-

ALL. Council
Hits Unity of
Furniture Men

KENOSHA, Wis, Sept. 12.-The
full force of the top bureaucracy of
the American Federation of Labor
in Washington went into action
upon hearing that the general
executive board of the Furniture
Workers Industrial Union had dele
gated Joe Kiss, national secretary
of the union, to address the Sim
mons Federal Local 1886 of Ken
osha, Wis, on the subject of unity
in the ranks of the furniture work
ers. Local 1886 has a membership
of over 1900
George Troeger, president Of the
local, read off at the membership
meeting held-in the German Ameri-
can Home on Sept. kilograms re-
ceived from the executive council of
the A. F. of L. in Washington,
charging that Kiss represents an
outlaw union. Another telegram
was received from George Fay, gen.
eral secretary of the Upholsterers'
International, stating that the N. F.
w. I. U. is strikebreaking and scab
organization, outlawed and not rec
ognized by the Federal government,
urging that the Federal local not
only deny Kiss the floor, but kick
him out of Kenosha as a radical
and a Communist. ~...
At the membership meeting when
the question came up for voting
there was an almost unanimous &C
clamation vote of AYE" to hear
Kiss speak. However, after long
maneuvering and open threats from
the president that if Kiss speaks it
will mean breaking the rules and
instructions of the higher body and
by taking several open votes, the
final vote was 1877 to hear the N. F.
w. I. U. representative and 243
against it.

Union Clique
Suspends 10
for Opposition
Millinery Officials Order
Suspensions To Stop
Fight for Elections

NEW YORK. N. "a new chap
ter Of reactionary clique rule and
terror has been opened in the
blockers' local Of the millinary trade
with the suspension Of 10 blockers
from all rights in the union on the
charge that they have violated the
Constitution Of the international
by being at the head Of the fight
for a constitutional election, in op-
position to Zaritsky's bureaucratic
appointments.
When the blockers began their
struggle for democracy in the local,
for an election, etc., almost the en-
tire membership CT the local was
involved. Zaritsky was made to get
out Of meeting Of the local he
himself called. They would not
stand for appointed administration.
Possibilities for a victory Of the
membership, under the leadership
Of the Millinery United Front Com
mittee, were good, in spite OF the
efforts of the few Lovestonites and
Trotskyites to knife the struggle in
the back.
Unaware of the fact that Golden.
who led the fight to a defeat, was
no more representing their interests
than Zaritsky does, since he has
only personal and clique inSsrests
at heart, they accepted his proposal
to give up the fight and turn the
matter over to the courts for de-
cision. The result was logicTlly
fatal to the blockers.
This, although costly experieiIee,
opened the eyes Of the blockers to
the role played by Golden, the
Lovestonites, the Trotskyites as well
as those of Zaritsky, who brought
these miserable conditions upon the
blockers by working hand-in- glove
with the bosses. The rank and file
Of the blockers are emerging from
this defeat, strengthened by TING
experience, more fit than ever be-
fore to pursue the policy of mass
action and to defeat the terror of
the zaritsky regime, in unity with
the rest Of the workers in the trade.
