cades to prevent troop movements
in or out of the city.
On the north coast of Spain, the
workers captured the important
fort Murcel, giving them strategic
vantage point, new stores Of arms
and ammunition. The cruiser Lib
ertad was sent against the fort and
bombardment has just been opened
The fort is replying.
Basque Workers Arm
IN the Basque province, hereto
fore also only slightly affected by
the fighting, workers and peasants
are rapidly arming themselves, join
ing in the fight to defeat the fas-
cist regime The Communist Party
is calling for the establishment OF
a workers and peasants govern
ment.
The general strike which had
heretofore been mainly effective in
the central part of Spain, in Cata-
lonia and the Northern provinces
has now gripped all of the South
of Spain. Fighting is going on in
Seville, where the workers stormed
the army barracks. All shops were
closed down.
Considerable fighting is going on
at Logrono. Workers seized the
town of Cerro Deliro Albania, and
flew the Red Flag over the town
hall.
Total of Dead Mounts
The number of dead is mounting
hourly Estimates reach well ove1
700, with thousands wounded.
When authorities sent troops in q
truck to Cerro Deliro Albania, q
workers ambuscade met them, kill
ing many.
The revolutionary general strike
has gripped Granada. The govern
ment now admits that the situa tior
appears grave for it. Columns Of
troops were sent to converge or
Ovieda and Bilbao. All commune
cation with the Austurias is cut off
and the government Of Madrid is
isolated from these provinces.

But in New York, the Lithu-

To what shall we attribute the
sorry results from some sections of
the country
The District 7, Detroit, bulletin
offers clue.
In last weeks bulletin" it as
serts, I'VE suggested that sections
challenge each other. Up to date
we have heard nothing from the
sections.
1T seems to U.s." it adds, that
language groups are fast asleep"
Socialist Competition
This is part of the reason for the
drives dragging. No Daily Worker
campaign can get very far without
Socialist competitions. The records
show that those districts, sections
and units engaged in Socialist COM
petition are always the heaviest
contributors. Detroit, where this
lack exists, has completed only IA
per cent of its quota.
All Communist Party districts
sections and units, all organiza-
tons, which have not yet entered
Socialist competition should do so
at once.
Example Offered
To all those who have not yet
put themselves into activity, who
have not yet contributed, who have
not yet, arranged parties for the
Daily Worker, who are waiting until
the last moment to send in their
funds, we recommend the following

the army general staff, was in con-
slant touch with Generals Domingo
Batet and Lopez Ochaca, leaders of
the government forces in Catalonia
and Austrias respectively. The only
means of communication with them
is by army wireless on truck. The
fighting in Barcelona is particularly
severe, showing that the workers
took up the fight in real earnest
when the bourgeois national gov
eminent capitulated to the Madrid
fascist forces.
Louis Quintanilla, famous paint
er, whose home was said to be used
as the headquarters of the Socialist
Youth Executive Committee, was
arrested and faces court-martial and
execution.
In the North, warships are being
sent to lombard Gijon, where the
workers are in control. Reports
from that city tell of the growing
strength of the armed workers who
are well equipped with light field
artillery, machine guns and thou
sands of rifles. Casualties in the
fighting here are reported to be
particularly heavy.

One has but to see how produc-

with the drive, to understand the
situation.
In Calumet, Ill, for instance.
Branch 1906 of the Two. pre-
pared an affair for the benefit OF
Polish flood victims. But the
Branch had in mind the Daily
Worker drivel Consequently SIC
was raised for the paper.
1--WE think" observes the
Branch, 'thiS is a real achieve
ment. We solicit other branches
of the Two. to do the same.
You will hear from us again"
From two other TWO. branches
come similar news. In Jacksonville
Fla, the Harry Sims branch staged
a Daily Worker picnic and raised
$50. This branch raised the money
in really simple way, a way that
all readers of the Daily Worker
should study.
I'VE explained" the Branch
writes "the part the Daily Worker
plays in educating and leading the
workers In their daily struggles"
The other branch is in Philadel-
phia-Branch n. These workers
donated $40, collected at a party
and they are already planning an
other affair.
Language Organizations
The Daily Worker has heard little
from the language organizations in
New York. One nights be forced
to conclude, therefore, that it is
impossible for language groups to
collect money for the fund. But a
glance at the activities of some Ian
guage groups outside of New York
City shows otherwise.
From Usage, w. Va, comes a con-
tribution in behalf of the Russian
National Mutual Aid Society of

to $50, and will have the money

sands of workers laid off.
Wages in textile mills have
reached new depths of degradation
under the Roosevelt N. R. A. codes
with their "ninirnums" and spread
work effects.
In typical Southern textile mill,
the Newman Mill, No. 2, at New
man, Ga, the following were
typical weekly pay envelopes: Quill
twister (skilleO-for eight hours
work, $40; Doffer (skilled) - fol
eight hours, S2.40; Twister machine
operator (skilled)-for eight hours
$3.50; Sweeper (unskilled) - for
eight hours work, S1.92; Card ma
chine operator (semi- killed)-for
sixteen hours work, $3.50; Girl
spinner (slzilled)-for eight hours
work, S2.40; Frame operator
(skllleO-for 16 hours work, $50.
These are WEEKLY earnings of a
VJP1Sell OChVllS tOWIl. lneSe are C0e
average payments at the N. R. A.
code rates, from $12 to $14 a week.
With rising prices, company de-
auctions, sickness, lay-offs, and
stretch-out, they give picture of
unexampled misery and starvation
in the textile centers where almost
one million textile workers grind
profits for the employers.
The conclusion is unacceptable:
the success" of the New Deal which
Moley asks the workers to continue
in the Congressional elections has
been only a successful wringing of
new profits from the workers by
lowering their real wages and their
daily standards of living.
More PROTESTANT more misery.
That has been the success" of the
Roosevelt New Deal in the textile
industry.

Especial to the Daily WOrker)

| MOSCOW, oct. (By WlreleSS)
The newspapers are publishing
instructions on elections to the So
VETS and congresses of Soviets for
the R. S. F. S. R.
Special interest is possessed by
the section dealing with instruc-
tons on the determination of the
list Of electors and electoral COM
missions.
In the electoral commission which
directs the electoral campaign from
the center Of the district and the
village, instructions provide for wide
representations Of trade unions,
men and women workers directly
connected with industry, collective
farmers of both sexes, and also ma
tional minoritieS.
On the basis Of the constitution
of the r. S. F. S. r., the following
are citizens of the Republic: All
those who will be Is years old
on the day of elections have the
right to elect and to be elected to
Soviets; all who make their living
by productive and socially useful
labor, also persons engaged in
house work, making possible pro-
ductive labor for the former; red
army men and red sailors; the citi-
zens in these categories who have
lost their ability to work to some
extent.
Among the persons not citizens
of the R. S. F. S. R. are the toilers
who are citizens of other Soviet So
cialist Republics of the Soviet
Union, who can elect and be elect
ed; also foreign workers and farm
ers engaged in labor.
In previous elections in Moscow,
Leningrad and other cities some
foreign workers engaged in Soviet
factories were elected as members
of SoViets.

I'VE do not recognize this strike, .
Mr.. Westerman said, when asked if
he would ship men aboard struck
vessels.
Shipping Hall Deserted
"If the I. S. U. were conducting
the strike it would be different.
I don't see how anybody could rec
ognize this strike when the govern
ment and the leaders of the I. S. U.
have acted so periodically to settle
matters"
When it was pointed out that the
shipping hall of the Institute was
apparently closed and that there
were no men there awaiting jobs as
is usually the case, Westerman's
eyes shifted Che can't look one
straight in the eyes, and looking
down at the desk he said, when
there is call for men we will ship
them"
Westerman explained that he is
an ex-Y.M.C.A. man and that he is
interested in social welfare. On his
desk were copies of the Daily
Worker and the Dog House News.
He said he reads them to see what
the reds are up to.
Have you got an extra police
guard on the building, Mr.. Wester-
mann" he was asked. He escorted
the Daily Worker reporter to a
spa cious window and proudly
pointed to large detachment of
foot, mounted and radio car police
stationed around the Institute.

His mother. Mrs John Rigg, of 1925

to go to New York after turning the
ketch Stoertebaker over to its owner,
H. P. Moore of Jacksonville.
1t took Rigg Az months to sail
the tiny craft across the Atlantic.
The trip was not without its bad
moments. In the Corinth Channel
the ketch crashed into fishing vessel
and broke both its masts. The crew
deserted and Rigg had to reflt the
vessel and set out again.
At Sicily a gale blew away his
sails, and again he had to hire a
crew. In Gibraltar he met many
Americans and when he left there
he had with him Edward H. Smith
