BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 16 - An
attempt to open key textile mills in
New England with sharper terror
by National Guard troops and
rapidly increasing army of armed
guards, is scheduled for tomorrow
morning, the third week of the gen.
eral textile strike.
The strike enters the third week
strong and effective, with the spread
of the strike advancing into such
weak areas as Lewiston, Me. and
mass picketing and flying squad
rons of pickets closing down mills
even in small communities.
The United Textile Workers lead
ers are now setting the stage for
their biggest effort so far to break
up the strike front and send the
strikers back to work without win
ming their demands. The newest
efforts ce these leaders to break UP
the ranks of the strikers is their
attempt to secure individual settle
ment with individual mills, not on
the basis of the national demands,
but on the basis of separate de-
mands under the national demands.
Not only is this seen in the attempt
of U.T.W. leaders to send the silk
workers back on 36-hour week
basis, but it is also being prepared
in New England. From Providence,
where Thomas MacMahon has been
stationed as well as j. Sylvia, New
England strike organizer, comes the
report that the meeting of the U.
T. w. council in Washington will
decide on instructing all its locals
to secure any settlement; they can
with individual mill-owners. The
capitalist press of New England
contains stories that the UT.W.
leaders are already secrtly confer
ring with some mill owners re-
garding individual settlements.
G. P. for Mass Picketing
N. Sparks, New England district
organizer of the Communist Party,
in a statement, called on the textile
strikers to answer these splitting
tactics of the U. T. w. leaders by
mass picket lines and marches
which will close down those few
mills not yet closed, and to spread
and solidify the strike. THE strike
is solid in spite of the daily in
crease in terror" Sparks said. THE
workers should reject any attempt
on the part of the U. T. w. lead
ers to negotiate individual settle
ments which give up the national
demands. These demands include
the rayon workers demands for
wage increases, against the stretch
out and for the rayon union recog-
milton, as well as the demand for
shorter hours. The workers should
not allow themselves to be driven
back to work until the demands
are won. The strike is solid and
strong and the workers, through
their splendid mass picketing and
solidarity, can win their demands.
To do this, they must set up rank
and file strike committees in every
mill The solidarity of the mill
workers, on the basis of the united
front of all the workers in the
mill, will defeat any splitting tao

THIS is how the textile bosses and their hrelings
in the State Office feel when the workers asked for
only slightly improved conditions. Just look at what
the workers are demanding:
ID Hours: Two shifts of 80 hours per week.
CD Differentials: The establishment Of four
minimum wages: Unsklled s13 per 30-hour
week; semi-skilled, S18 per 30-hcur week;
skilled $3.50 per 30-hour week; highly
skilled, $50 per 30-hour week
90 Machine Load: The revision OF all work leads
on the basis Of reason and common sense.
(4) Recognition CT the union; reinstatement of
all workers vctimizcd because Of union
activities or membership.
These demands, boiled down merely de-
mands for shelter hours, Tor the end Of the speed

German Praises ROOse-

Mass Picketing
By Seymour Waldman
DAILY Worker Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 49,
While rejecting last nights proposal
of Peter Van Horn, head of the En-
ployers' Silk Institute, that the
Strike issue in that industry be
taken to MIRA. for public hearing"
Strike Committee Chairman Francis
]. German, of the U. T. W., repeated
yesterdays demand for the reSigna-
ton of N.R.A. Administrator Gen
eraI Hugh S. johnson. Germans de-
mand on Johnson followed the lat
ter's attack upon the textile strike,
before MIRA. Code Authorities (em-
ployers who formulated the codes)
as representative of "the forces of
riot and rebellion"
In his answer to Van Horn, how
ever, German continued to uphold
before the determined textile strikers
the Roosevelt big business, N.R.A.
and textile inquiry board, headed by
banker Governor Winant of New
Hampshire, which consists of a
banker, a Southern lawyer--N RIA.
Regional official and Fusion Party
chieftain.
Despite Germans disbursement
of mass marches, mass picketing
and the effective flying squadrons,
U.TW. strike headquarters admitted
yesterday that more workers are
| out today, on Monday there will be
a substantial additional shutting
down of mills" 1t is expected that
the strike call to the rayon and
carpet workers will be dispatched at
the beginning of the week.
The A. F. of L. textile strike
leadership indicates, with increas-
ingly significant clarity, that it will
| intensity its plan to build up the
prestige of the President on the
picket lines. That is, that Johnson
and other Roosevelt lieutenants
don't speak for the President, that
the workers should have faith in
the Winant Board, and that the
shooting, bayonetting and gassing
serve as the manner chosen by re
dictionary" governors and employers,
in violation of the New Deal, to
keep workers enSlaved.
1--WE will not join in submitting
any issue to N.RA. as long as Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson is administrator
or occupies a position of determin-
ing influence in the Recovery Ad-
ministration, he said we said
yesterday that he ought to resign
and we mean it. Since that is our
view, we could not join in any sub
mission to N.R.A. while he has the
power to make N.R.A. decisions, "
German explained today to Van
Horn. He added; THE President
has appointed special board to
deal exclusively with the textile
strike in all its divisions.
That board is competent. The
President would have said so if he
had wanted the strike to go before
any division of N. r. A. Mr.. Van
Horn is not willing to follow the
course desired by the President,
which doesn't speak very well for
his confidence in the President"

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Sept 10
The calling of four additional Ma
tional Guard units into the Gas
tonia, Belmont and Concord areas,
the most militant centers Of the
textile strike in North Carolina,
and the denial of a permit for the
Communist Party to hold mass
meeting tomorrow in support Of
the strike on the Court House steps
in Charlotte-these were the chief
moves made over the weekend by
the Southern mill owners against
100000 textile strikers in these dis
tricts.
For the past two DAYS the front
pages of the local newspapers and
the editorial columns have been
sizzling with high pitched hysterical
attacks against the Communist
Party.
The Communist Party has an
nounced it would hold a mass
meeting on the Court House steps
on Monday evening to protest
against the use of troops and
armed deputies against the strikers
Today the Charlotte News, in a
two-column front page story, an
nounces that local police will be
used to stop the meeting.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 10
How American arms makers secretly
put into Adolf Hitler's hands part
of the military wherewithal to
maintain the Nazi terror reign-and
did it with the approval OF RooSe-
welt Government officials, probably
in violation of the Sacroscant treaty
of Versailles-is scheduled to be
shown tomorrow in the Senate mu-
nitionS inquiry.
Sources close to the Nye-Vanden-
berg committee informed your cor
respondent that this subject is
slated to be a high point in the
examination tomorrow of officials
of United Aircraft Corporation,
controlled by the National City
Bank interests.
It remains to be seen just how
far this line of investigation will
get, however, in view of the fact
that high Roosevelt officials already
have put great pressure on the
committee to suppress certain docu-
ments which would make official
proof of what anyone can deduce-
that the open dictatorship of
finance capital to stave off a vic
torious workers revolution in Ger
many has long had the active sup
port of imperialists here. In fact,
British, French and other arms
makers also are involved in this, but
the Senate Committee has not yet
even indicated whether it possesses
the evidence to prove this, much
less whether it will make it public
Chairman Nye fastened to prom

hands, letters and official docu-
mentS taken from the field of the
arms manufacturers and of the
Roosevelt departments of Commerce
and State, conclusively prove that
tremendous orders of airplanes have
been sold recently in Germany
Germany is prohibited from i'm
porting military" supplies under
the treaty of Versailles which was
the allied imperialists' own mechan-
ism for preserving the status-quo at
the end of the World War.
Should evidence of the imperial
lists violation of their own instru-
ment come out, the airplane COM
panies no doubt will contend that
the material sold was for CONNER
cial" purposes. That, however is
an ancient dodge, particularly thin
when evidence now before the COM
mittee demonstrates that the par
ticular commercial" supplies ac-
tually are in military use. Other
evidence shows that American Off
Gals here and in Germany were in
on these sales.
Another phase of the investiga-
ton, to be developed later, deals
with how the Nationalist govern
ment in China, loaned millions by
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, supposedly to buy Amer
lean wheat to feed Chinese workers
actually used the money to buy mil
itary supplies (Which most likely
were used to shoot Chinese workers
