NEW YORK, October 6-Automo-
bile production will be of little help to
the business curve when this weeks
record is compiled. In fact, sharp
decline in motor output may offset
slightly better tendencies in steel, tex
tile and electric power production.
Grams Reports estimates this
weeks motor outturn at 1898 units,
only about half that Of the final week
of September and 27,926 under that of
the same week last year.
Motor production usually reaches
its lowest point in October, as the
manufacturers complete their assem-
blies Of old models and prepare for
the new. However, the curtailment
in the first week of October was much
sharper than business students had
expected. Production for the month
is not expected to surpass 100000
units.
Three more automobile manufac-
turers have completed assembly of
their 1884 models, according to Grams

Protect the Textile Strikers

CONTINUED terror is sweeping the tex
" tile fields, following the sell-out Of the
general textile strike by Francis German
and the A. F. of L. leaders.
In all sections of the country, prison
sentences are being melted out to active strikers
In Lowell on next Saturday-called Red satur-
day" in the Lowell papers-four workers are to be
tried whole series of charges ranging from
disturbing the peace" (by shouting Read the
Daily WORKER, to assault and distributing Com
munist Party leaflets. These workers committed
the crime of being active on Lowell picket lines and
trying to win the textile strike
23-year-od textile worker, Pearl Odom, in
Kosciusko, Miss, has been sentenced to ten years
in prison on framed up charge of robbery and
attacking a Waterman, because she led picket lines
In Atlanta, Ga. women textile strikers are now
facing long prison sentences in the courts for their
strike activity.
In Gastonia, the Manufactures Company has
lodged two strikers in Jail a framed up charge
following attack on these workers by company
thugs.
Scores are in jail in Maine, Rhode Island, and
Southern states, some already serving sentences.
THE leadership of the United Textile Workers is
not lifting finger to organize protest against
neSe aIVacKS on Cne most actlve textile workers
German, for example, only this week ordered
100 Pecquot mill loonfxers in Salem, Mass, to
call off their strike and go back to work and &C
cept discrimination
While textile workers are being fired and put
into prison, German, instead of organizing a fight
in their behalf, issues bootlicking statements pras-
ing Roosevelt's "no-strike" speech and favoring a
truce" with the employers, which means a CONT
nuation of the blacklist and terror, and condemns
the textile workers to low wages and grinding
Speed-up

not allow the Imprisonment and blacklist of the

TWo Sets of Promises

no CATCH the votes of the workers, the
4 Roosevelt candidates throughout the
country make the widest promises about
unemployment insurance, lower hours,
modification of the N.R.A. to benefit the
workers, and so on.
The same line is being pressed by the
A. F. of L. leaders who want the Roosevelt candi-
dates supported The greater the illusions they can
instill about the Roosevelt government the easier
it will be for them to prevent and defeat strikes
they reason
But what is actually taking place in Washington
on the most fundamental questions confronting the
workers? Roosevelt answers the criticism of the
Liberty Leaguers and some of the durable goods
manufacturers, by assuring them that the policy
of the big trusts will dominate no matter what he
promises the masses.
First of all, Roosevelt promises the employers
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-10-04

land it is not the kind of premise he makes the
workers. that the government will be used to stop
the strike wave for higher wages and improved
conditions. These gentlemen know from past ex-
perence that Roosevelt's talk of a truce means in
practice a government drive to defeat the workers
struggle for improved conditions and for union
rights.
THE leading newspaper expressing the views of
the so-called critics of Roosevelt in the camp
of the explorers the Herald Tribune, commenting
on Roosevelts speech, declared:
ut is, in our judgment, the most encouraging
that has come fran the President"
Indeed it is the most encouraging for all who
want to smash the workers struggles, to put over
the company unions, to lower wages and increase
profits. That's exactly what the Tribune means.
It becomes clearer than ever as election APP
proaches that vote for any of the capitalist can
didates is vote for the strike truce" Every vote
for the bosses candidates means more force, and
more confidence in Roosevelt's policy of breaking
strikes through arbitration; it is vote for raising
profits for the bosses, and vote against unemploy-
ment insurance.
Recent developments make it far easier than
ever before for the Communist candidates for every
Communist, to expose the Roosevelt regime and
bring forward the Communist program as the only
fighting in the interests of the workers. Along
with the fight in the unions to defeat the strike
breaking truce should go fight to support and vote
for the Communist Party, which in the elections
is fighting the whole program of those putting for
ward this anti-Iabor policy

A Warning to the
Pocketbook Workers

THE strike of the pocketbook workers in
L New York, now entering its second
week, is the most effective walkout in the
history Of the Pocketbook Workers Union.
Nearly 1000 workers are out, including
workers in centers outside of New York
who have never been involved in previous
strikes
1t was the united struggle of the rank and file
against Osip Wolinsky and the reactionary admin
istration, who attempted to railroad through
settlement that would give up the basic demands of
the workers, that forced the strike. 1t was this
united struggle, the fine fighting spirit of the union
members, that has made the strike strong and eff
fective
Aware of the strength Of the strike, the employ
are trying to smash it with the aid of the ousted
officials. For more than week they have been
carrying on secret negotiations with the ousted ad
ministraton, hoping to rob the workers of victory
In this situation the United Front Committee
leading the strike which has it minority of left
wing workers, made serious mistake. The CON-
mittee permitted the ousted officials to continue
in strategic positions such chairman of the strike
committee, chairman of the picket committee and
secretary of the union, which strategic positions
they are using to betray the strike.
1t has been definitely established that Mr. Gold
man and his allies have had secret conferences with
the BOSSES Their treachery has reached q point
where the success Of the strike is at stake
The left wing workers in the strike leadership
laboring under mistaken idea of unity have failed
to expose the treacherous maneuvers of the ousted
officials for fear that such an exposure would
weaken the ranks of the strikers.
Such unity is only sham unity based on lack
OF confidence in the rank and file workers. 1t
contradicts the very idea of workers united front
which must be based united struggle in de-
tense OF workers interests against all enemies
WITHIN and outside the union ranks
The best and most effective way to strengthen
the strike and to build real united front against
all enemies is for every honest worker in the strike
leadership to expose before the workers the treach
erous maneuvers that are being carried on by Mr.
Goldman.
These misleaders must be driven from the ranks
OF the strikers. They must be replaced by commit
tees Of honest rank and file workers who have no
other interests in mind but winning the strike
Such action would warn the bosses that they
cannot break the strike by maneuvering with ousted
officials, that settlement can come only through
negotiations with authorized representatives of the
workers on the basis of the demands of the work.
