Convention Of Silk
Workers Backs MOoe
For AmaIgamation
Resolutions d m an d
Release of Mooney
and ThaeImann

Resolutions for the amalgamation
of the American Federation of Silk
Workers and the Federation of Silk
and Rayon Dyers, for the release
of Tom Mooney, Billings and other
class war prisoners; against Fas-
cism and for the release of Ernst
Thaelmann; for the organization
of the youth in the industry and
for the organizing of Pennsylvania
were among the resolutions intro
duced by the rank and file dele
gates and passed at the conven-
ton of the silk workers which con-
cludede its sessions here yesterday.
At earlier sessions endorsement
of the Workers Unemployment and
Social Insurance Bill, uniform
wage scale in all silk centers and
motions that conventions be held
annually, and no assessments be
levied unless approved by Teferen-
dunn vote, were other rank and file
proposals passed.
Although the actual number of
delegates definitely pledged to a
militant program numbered not
more than Is out of the ia voting
delegates, their constructive fight
won an increasing number of sup
porters as the convention neared
its end. In the election of mem
bers of the Executive Board, j. Mil
lotti, Of the New York local, a
fighter for the line of the rank and
file group, was elected. Sam
Sheber, one of the most active mil
liant workers of Paterson received
SO votes although defeated in the
election of representatives from
New Jersey on the Board.
The achievements of the mill
tants were made despite the most
desperate attempts of the Schweitz-
er-WoodS reactionary machine to
stifle every progressive move. The
bulk of the delegates at the con-
vention came from tiny and in
some cases virtually non existent
locals, and these were the main
support to the officials. The dele
gates following militant policy
came chiefly from Paterson, Penn
Sylvania and Connecticut. The To-
Gals which sent them represent the
bulk of the membership of the Fed
GRAFTON. The Paterson plain goods
departmelN which sent nine mill
tants of its ten delegates has 1000
of the $1,000 members claimed by
the officials for the entire Fedora
ton.
The thousands of silk workers
who went out on strike under the
leadership Of the U. T. w. have
not yet been organized into the I'M
ion local, or paid dues. But in their
determination to keep the mill
tants off the Executive Board the
machine delegates were organized
to prevent representative of the
Paterson weavers from getting on.
All their efforts, however, in
Guiding a special nominating speech
by 1eactionary leader, could not
elect the defeated and totally dis
credited Eli Keller, Lovestoneite,
and manager of the Paterson I'M
ion. He was at the bottom of the
list, with % votes. Another Love-
stoneite from the New York local,
B. Herman came out the lowest
in the vote with Is. The Love-
stoneites throughout the conven-
ton tried in every way to help the
official machine in the hope that

Points to Impossibility

Growth Result of
Soviet Power
PART OF SYMPOSIUM

Declaring that there can be no
real planning of production and dis
tribution for the welfare of the
masses unless the working class
seizes power and abolishes the pri-
vate ownership of the productive
resources of this country, Earl
Browder, secretary of the Commu-
mist Party, yesterday presented the
program of the Communist Party
in symposium on the role and
opportunity of the technician in
social planning.
The symposium, part of the
regional conference of the Interna-
tional Relations Institute, held at
the Russell Sage Foundation to dis
cuss Social Planning, is to cover the
various types of planning which are
now being discussed and practiced
as solutions for the crisis.
PROVIDERS paper was read to the
conference by Clarence Hathaway,
editor of the Daily Worker, due to
PROVIDERS unavoidable absence.
Soviet Leader to Speak
More than 300 public officials,
technicians, economists, managers
in industry are meeting in this con-
ference. A special session has been
set aside for the report of Valery V.
ObolenSky- Ossinsky, vice-chairman
of the U. S. S. r. State Planning
Commission. He will speak on the
Second Five-Year Plan Dec. l.
Alfons Goldschmidt, lecturer on
economics, formerly at the Univer-
sity of Leipzig, Germany, the Uni
versity of Cordoba, Argentina, and
the National University of Mexico,
opened the conference with a SEM
mar on concepts and types of eco
nomic planning in the fascist, Com
munist and parliamentarian state.
Other speakers at the first Bes-
sion, at which Miss M. L. Fledderus,
Director of the I. r. L, The Hague,
presided as chairman, were Miss
van Kleek, Director of Industrial
Studies at the Russell Sage Foun-
dalton and Associate Director I. R.
l., and Leifur Magnusson, represen-
tative of the International Labor
Organization in the United States,
who will read paper on economic
planning and labor legislation, pre-
pared by Harold B. Butler, Director
of the International Labor Or
ganization, Geneva.
Pointing out that the limitations
and contradictions of capitalism
make impossible full use of the
work of the technician, Browder
challenged the technicians to CO.

NC CURE HAD
FASCIST FUND
OF 100000
Dickstein Com m lite e
Shields Rich Organizers
of Plot

NEW YORK.-The mounting evil
dence of fascist plots financed by
Wall Street banks was augmented
yesterday by the latest revelation
that at least 100000 had passed
through the hands of Gerald C..
MacGuire, Wall Street agent act
ing as a go-between between the
banks and the militarists.
Despite testimony which they
gathered. the Dickstein Congress
sional Committee has set itself
against making any further inquir-
les into the ramifications of the
fascist organizing that is increasing
in the country and is financed by
the leading Wall Street banks, and
involves leading figures in the
Roosevelt government.
Clark Financed Studies
1t was brought out in direct teSti-
mony by MacGuire that Robert
Sterling Clark, a Wall treet million
aire, had financed studies of the
Nazi and fascist movements in Eu-
rope in order to provide models for
this country.
In signed statement, the Con-
gressional Committee confirmed the
full authenticity of the Butler
charges of fascist plottings, stating
that "as the evidence stands, it calls
for an explanation that the COM
mittee has been unable to obtain
from Mr.. MacGuire"
Committee Shields Rich Men
Despite all the evidence impli-
eating the highest figures in the
capitalist world in the banks and
the government, the committee
bluntly refused to call any of these
men to the witness stand, thus
shielding the very people charged
with organizing the plots.
The men whom the committee
will not call and whose names are
implicated are John w. Davis, Nor
gan lawyer and political associate
of Roosevelt; Thomas Lamont, Nor
gan partner; General Hugh john
son and General Harbord
1t was shown that MacGuire was
receiving large sums of money from
various Wall Street groups for the
purpose of keeping the American
fascists informed on the organiza-
ton of fascist troops in Europe and
for the purpose of copying these
formations in this country.
Particular study was given by
MacGuire to the French veterans
fascist groups and to the Nazi storm
troops, the evidence showed.
