Fight On! Reject German Betrayal! Picket Mills!
An Editorial

after their heroic three weeks battle They should
continue the strike until their demands for the
30-hour week, wage increases, the elimination of
the stretch-out and union recognition are won.
They will never secure their demands except
through united, determined strike action.
THE Communist Party urges the workers to re-
ject Germans betrayal Refuse to bargain away
your fundamental demands in any more Of Roose-
velt's N. r. A. boards. Continue the strike until
your own demands are granted.
Do not return to work this morning. Hold
your ranks solid Mass all your forces before the
mill gates to prevent the mills from reopenng.
Act together in solid mass. Permit splits in
your ranks. Keep your ranks united; have united
action in every move. Exert every effort to con-
tinue the strike until your demands are granted.
Convene huge mass meetings of strikers in every
town. Hold meetings at every mill. Take a vote
against Germans proposed settlement. Adopt reso-
lutons Of protest against the betrayal and setting
forth your own demands. Send kilograms of pro-
test and resolutions to German Demand a con-
tinuance of the strike until your convention de-
mands are granted. Prepare to continue the strike
in your locality even if you read of workers re-
turning to the jobs in other areas BY refusing to
return to work you can stimulate fresh walk-outs
in these areas.
AT YOUR local and mill meetings propose ma
IA tional conference to discuss the strike and to
lay down the terms of settlement. Elect delegates
at your meetings now to such a national confer
ence
Elect grievance committees to fight against dis
elimination and to take up the struggle in the
mills for your demands in the event Germans be-
trayal is put and, with the aid of police ter
ror, you are driven back into the mills
Try to continue the struggle. At all costs keep
your ranks united. Build up tremendous protest
movement against the sell-out. Drive the takers
and crooks out Of office in the union who are
responsible for this betrayal Set up your own

conceal the brazenness of the sel-out.
THE Winant report offers what? 1t proposes a
permanent board another MIRA board to
handle the textile industry Is it a victory" to
get another such board? In the automobile indus
try such board was set up and it resulted only
in the destruction of the union, in the establish
ment of company unionism, and in the worsening
of conditions. In steel, aluminium and other in
dustries the same is true. In every case where
such boards were established they work to break
up the workers organizations, to make effective
strike action impossible, and to aid the bosses in
carrying through their drive to speed up produc-
ton, and lower production costs at the expense
Of the workers.

lied the MIRA as the National Run-Around" Even
German was compelled to admit that:
"our people have been treated so badly by
the Textile Industrial Relations Board that we
cannot go to that body. We have been fooled SO
long that we naturally mistrust that board. We
have sought to obtain relief from the heavy
burdens imposed us by going direct to the
employers. They referred us to the board AND
THE ABUSES CONTINUED"
Now German greets the setting up Of a new
board as a victory But it is victory only for
the bosses. The demand of the workers for 30
hour week. for higher wages, for an end to the
stretch-out, for union recognition is side-tracked
Instead Of winning their demands the workers are
again advised to continue the run-around, to give
up their strike to give up their demands, to again
go before another ss-controlled board.
THE Winant board graciousy admits your con-
ditions bad; your wages are low; the speed
up is intense" You textile workers know all of
this that is why you struck. But then they advise
you to return to work under the same conditions,
with the promises only that your conditions will be
Studied" that they will be examined by new
board.
The workers should never accept such a sell-out

Workers FIay
End of Strike
In Paterson
Especial to the Daily worker,

PATERSON, U. j., Sept. 23-At a
special meeting held today at Rose
land Hall the strikers greeted Eli
Keller and Smith, A. F. of L. Or
ganizer, with boos and cat calls. It
was evident that the strikers re-
ssnted the decision Of the National
Strike Committee to call off the
strike.
For almost two hours the strikers
waited for Keller. Strikers in the
hall demanded meeting even if
the A. F. of L. officials did not ap-
pear. Finally Keller and Smith
appeared. Keller stated that he
disagreed with the Winant Com
mittee but did not say if he dis
agreed with the decision Of the Ma
tional Strike Committee. Keller
stated that whether it was good or
bad, I'VE must act as good union
men and then stated that it was
almost victory. He instructed
everyone to report to the shops,
after reading the telegram signed
by German calling off the strike.
Strikers again booed and Kissed
Keller then introduced Smith, who
openly agreed that it was moral
victory and that from his meeting
in Washington he reported that he
was in full accord with the Arbi-
tration Board set up by the Winant
Committee. Again a round Of boos
and misses was the workers reply.
Strikers became indignant and
demanded that others speak. KEEL
Ter refused to allow rank and file
speakers, but the strikers rushed to
the platform and drove Keller and
Smith out. Keller ordered the
mike" to be removed. Strikers
kept yelling Let them speak; Let
them speak,"
A shop chairman then acted as
chairman Of the meeting. He in
troduced John Elias of the Rank
and File Opposition, Valgo, a men,
Der of the broad silk executive
board, and shop chairman, and
Moe Brown, one of the labor lead
ers in Paterson who helped to
merge the unions in Paterson for
victorious strike.
These speakers called upon the
workers to continue to strike for
local demands and to reject Cor
mans sell-out scheme. The meet
ing closed with Moe Brown telling
the workers that the strike was now
beginning in earnest.

Hear
Hathaway at
Bronx Rally

NEW YORK, Sept. %. - More
than 1000 workers filled the Bronx
Coliseum on Friday night to cele-
hrate the 18th Anniversary of the
Communist Party, and listen to
Clarence Hathaway, editor of the
Daily Worker, analyZe the history of
the Communist movement from its
formative days to its present posi-
ton as leader of the American
working class.
Francis w. German, head of the
U. T. w. strike committee, did not
answer the invitation issued to him
by Charles Krumbein, New York
District Organizer, to address the
meeting in support of the textile
strike. The celebration was turned
into great demonstration of soil
darity with the strikers and of pro-
test against the terror launched by
the textile magnates and their gov
eminent agents.
The workers heard Israel Amter,
Communist candidate for Governor
of New York, discuss the issues in
the coming elections. Krurnbein
told of the advances made by the
Communist Party in New York.
The highlight of the evening was
Hathaway's address, which was en-
Enthusiastically received by the gath
ering. He traced the history of the
Communist Party from the time
that the militants in the Socialist
Party, under the influence of the
october Revolution, broke with the
reactionary leadership and formed
the new Party.
Hathaway spoke of the days when
the Communist Party was under
ground and of the period when the
Party fought the counter-revolu-
tionary influences of the Trotsky-
ties and The Lovestoneites. He en-
phasized the important role played
by the Communist International
and Stain in helping the American
Party free itself of these influences
which made for sectarianism.
Short speeches we're made by
Steve Kingston. member of the
New York District Committee; Rose
Wortis of the Trade Union Unity
Council, and John Little of the
Young Communist League.

United Action
Against the
Betrayal!
An Editorial
Continued from Page y

'fratricidial strife" between
Socialists and Communists in
the trade unions. But these
workers, as we'll as the Com
munists, certainly want no
let-up in the struggle against
the betrayal policies of the A.
F. of L. top leadership, the
best example of which is the
German sell-out of the heroic
textile strike.
The strikebreaking actions
of William Green and Francis
j, German only emphasize
the need for united action of
Communists and Socialists
and their sympathibers of
both parties, especially in the
trade unions, against the be-
trayal policies of the A. F.
of L. leadership. For this
united action the Communist
Party will never cease to
fight.
Forward to united action!

In Albany Area
Successful Meetings in
Schenectady, Troy,
GlOversvilIe

ALBANY, Sept. 23-The election
campaign of the Communist Party
in this upstate area got under
way during the past week with inn
portant meetings here as well as in
Schenectady, Troy, Amsterdam and
GloYersville.
All the meetings were we'll att
tended in spite Of unfayorable
weather. The good attendance is
credited largely to the energetic eff
forts of the Communist Party and
the Young Communist League in
the distribution of some 10000 Leaf
lets throughout the section.
In Schenectady, Clarence Carr,
PRESIDENT of the Independent
Leather Workers Union and candi-
date for Congress in the Both Dis
trict; Harry Daniels, candidate for
Sheriff, and Israel Amter, guberna-
torial nominee, spoke to more than
800 workers.
In Amsterdam, Amter and Carr
spoke to more than 400 and num-
Der of striking textile workers pres
ent applied for memberhip in the
Communist Party.
Ernie Johnson, candidate for
Sheriff in Fulton County, spoke with
Amter and Carr, to a meeting Of
more than 200 leather workers in
Gloversville, in spite of hoodlums
encouraged by police, who tried to
break up the meeting.
Police intimidation, which is also
at high pitch in Albany, was sim
ilarly unsuccessful in preventing
several hundred workers from at
tending an election rally for Amter.

farmers must take action to save
themselves from such parasitic in
terests. The fight for drought re-
lief is fight against the A.A.A. and

unites both poor farmers and work
ers. Unless the campaign for re-
lief is strengthened, there is danger
that even the pitiable amounts they
have already been forced to give
will be cut. Local struggles for i'm
and adequate relief for the
masses of farmers being crushed by
the drought and the AA.A. should
be spread all over the drought area.

On Sept. IA German even began
to talk of sympathetic actions in
other industries. This was after the
splendid one-day general Sympa-
thetic strike in Hazelton, Pa, and
the demand for general strikes be-
gan to be raised in many sections
of the country.
On Sept. Is, in answer to General
Johnson's attack on the strike, he
replied, again setting forth the
situation in the industry:
let me give you this important
news. Dozens of mills have today
asked us to settle on the unions
terms. The opposition lines are
cracking. We have but to hold
the fort, and we shall hold the
fort. American Iabor marches On.

Then the final blow - the strike
committees report.
Let every textile worker read the
record. 1t documents a line of be-
trayal and treachery that is new
highwater mark in the history of
American labor.
The textile workers, If they are
to gain better conditions, must or
ganize against their betrayers,
against the Germans, who are the
agents of the employers in their
ranks. This is the lesson of the
role of Mr.. Francis j. German we
can learn from the record itself. No
other conclusion can be drawn.
