AS to the events on the program,
the Gold Cup boat races will
help put over the "shOw"-an
event that will be truly as color
full as it will be entertaining.
Another sign that the regatta
promises to be a success is the
fact that all the various Organl-

NJ 'LARN|N DUE
IN GOTHAM
TODAY
By DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The big
blow off and bluster over the last
of the carriage trade prize fights
of the current renaissance will ar
rive today with a Mr.. James Nc
Larnin, a young man who is al
most frantic wondering where his
second million is coming from.
Mr.. McLarnin last came into
town few months ago and every
thing was superb. He was the
WelterWeight champion then.
Forgot To Duck
This time he's only the chal-
lenger or another guy who forgot
to duck. He will meet Barney
Ross, the double-in-spades cham
pion of the lightweight and well
terweight divisions on September
6, Mr.. Ross having taken Nc
Larnin the last time at 145 pounds
in stealth and some secrecy.
This time, it may be different.
McLarnin can do a half pound
under or over the weight when the
SplrlC aCCuaJeS MN. Inc IlIne De-
fore, he had to do 145 pounds at
noon.
However, he was the champion
then and a little contemptuous of
a challenger who couldn't top 1873
with his hands full of Indian
clubs. With the change in condi-
tions, he's liable to be little more
careful.
One To Three
The funny thing about this very
temporizing young man is that
they once called him one-punch
fighter. AS a matter of fact, that
was the trouble the last time. He
only landed one punch to Ross
three.

German ere Self Appointed
Gar

ERANCIS GORMAN, leader of the United
L Textile Workers Union "a. F. of L.
has sent letter to President Roosevelt,
signing away all of the rights of the tex
tile workers. German promises Roosevelt
that the textile workers will agree not to strike for
six months and will accept without protest ques-
ton all decisions of the National Textile Labor
Relations Board, and the National Labor Relations
Board.
BY what right does German set himself up as
a car over the textile workers and make such vital
decisions robbing million workers of the right
to strike?
Did the scores of thousands of textile workers
who have been fired and locked out because of
their strike activities agree to Germans no strike
statement? Did the hundreds of imprisoned strik-
ers who now being given long prison sentences
from New England to Georgia, tell German to tie
their hands with mo strike" guarantee for six
months in advance? Did the million textile work.
ers who are now being speeded up and ridden with
company unions give German such authorityP BY
no means.
German has usurped the right to tell a million
workers that for six months they cannot carry on
any fight against their miserable and worsening
conditions.
TORMAN'S statement reveals the full meaning of
President RooSeVeltS 'no-strlke" truce Whom will
this truce help in the textile industry? 1t will
help the textile mill owners. During this truce
they will continue their blacklist their speed-up
their low wage policy. The terror OF mill owners
thugs and of prison sentences by government courts
will continue to hound the textile workers
AS long as the looms and spindles are running
as long as the textile employers are reaping huge
profits out of the textile workers toil-the employ
ers and the Roosevelt boards will be satisfied to
maintain the mo strike" truce
Meanwhile, German proclaims himself satisfied
to entrust all of the textile workers demands to
these MIRA. boards which have ground down the
textile workers to their present plight.
IT is high time that every textile worker asked in
loud voice-for whom is this sef-appointed car
working? Is he working for the employers? He
certainly has done every single thing that they re-
quested from calling off the textile strike without
a single gain for the textile workers. to his refusal
to fight against the terror in the textile field.
If the textile workers accept Germans decision
demands for six months, then they will not win
their demands against the stretch-out for union
recognition, for higher wages and shorter hours
The rank and file textile workers. who militantly
and courageously tied up the textile industry in
general strike, must demand reckoning of Gar
German. The rank and file must build oppostions
in every U.T,W. local union kick out the miseaders
who are aiding Germans betrayals, and prepare for
strike struggles for all of their demands.

Our Circulation

THAT Daily Worker circulation must be
greatly increased, and rapidly at that,
has been frequently emphasized In strikes,
in unemployed struggles, in the fight
against the A. F. of L. bureaucracy and
other reforist misleaders, in the struggle of the
Negro masses, farmers etc, and in the Conmu-
mist Partys election campaign, the Daily Worker is
vital to success.
Because of this we wish to put number OF ques-
tions to the leading comrades of few District or
CARNATIONS:
Boston, New Haven, Newark Philadelphia Bal
timOre, Charlotte, Birmingham: What, concretely
are you doing to hold the increased Daily Worker
circulation among the textile workers following the
strike?
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Biz
mingham, New Orleans: What are you doing to
build Daily Worker circulation on a solid and per-
manent basis, in preparation for the East and Gulf
coast marine strikeP
New York: What are you doing to create truly
solid and permanent mass circulation for the New
York Daily Worker? We know you have ordered
100000 copies of next Mondays paper the first
issue OF the new papers, but what will be the cir
culation on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
the days following?
These are urgent questions for the Daily Worker
itself and, equally So for the Districts
We would appreciate hearing from the District
and Section organizers.

growing struggles Of the Negro people against the
Jim-Crow oppression which is the weapon Of Amer
lean imperialism against them.
Here were four Negroes who dared to criticize"
Wall Street imperialism and its Jim-Crow oppres-
sion The answer of the government officials to this
audacity was the old slave brutality the typical
American imperialist oppression
These Negroes, it is true, were not making revo-
lutionary attack against Wall Street In fact they
are the conscious or unconscious dupes of japanese
imperialism, which is cunningly trying to utilize
the smouldering hatred of the oppressed Negro
masses for its own imperialist purposes
The Japanese imperialists are not less ruthless
than Wall Street in oppression and brutality against
oppressed natonalities in the Far East
But unwittingly, even this reactionary organi-
cation fostered by them helps to kindle the ma
tional consciousness of the American Negro people
And so American imperialism is striking at the
Negro workers in it with lynch brutality.
1t is only in a revolutionary struggle against all
imperialisms, Toxic as well as Wall Street, that
the oppressed Negro people can win liberation. 1t
is only when the national liberation struggle of the
Negro people is headed by the Negro proletarist
fighting under the Communist Party slogan of
"Self-Deternination in the Black Belt" united in
class solidarity with the white proletarat that the
fight against the yoke of capitalist exploitation and
national oppression can be won.

Workers, mechanics, who bring

Low Rate of Accidents
The Proletarka and all other Kali
min textile mills are electrified, and
this means an absence of overhead
shafts and belts. This means very
low rate of accidents. Nevertheless,
the drive to entirely eliminate &C

tract with the union, the admins
tration had, in 1888, to install $4,000
rubles worth of safety machinery.
Similar amounts are assigned yearly.

10000 New Communists

IN TODAY'S issue of the DAILY" there
is an open letter to workers, taking up
some of the reasons that are usually given
for not joining the Communist Party.
Every reader of the Daily is urged to
give this letter serious thought. Every reader of
the Daily" is urged to act on it.
In Saturdays issue of the Daily" there will
appear the special letter which the Central Com
mittee of the Communist Party has sent to every
Party member the problem of recruiting new
members This issue should be given special dis
tribution by every unit and every reader of the
Daily"
There has never been a better time than now
to recruit new members into the Communist Party
In the recent class battles, in the great Frisco
strike in the textile strike, thousands of American
workers have learned to respect and understand
the revolutionary role of the Party. These spen-
did proletarian fighters belong in the Communist
Party and it is up to us to win them for the Party
The goal Of the recruiting drive is to win 10000
new members, to bring the total to above As 900

luton of 1917
What better tribute to Lenin, and to the Oc-
tober Revolution, than to bring 10000 new Amer
lean workers under the banner of the Party fight
ing for the revolutionary overthrow of Wall Street

skill. In the spinning plant alone
2,979 workers were given these
courses last year.
Last year the factory adninistra-
ton spent 111,600 rubles on techni-
cal education of the workers in the
spinning mill alone of the Prolet-
arka factory, and similar propo--
tional amounts in other mills.
Free Services
Many things that are often out
of reach of the worker in a capital
ist country, are free here, such as
medical attention wages are paid
while sick), vacations in rest homes
and curing places, education, etc.
The Kalinin, or any other, textile
worker in the Soviet Union gets his
working clothes free, and it is part
of the union contract that the fac
toy pays for mending them, and if
the work is dirty, for washing them
too.
In addition to regular wages and
increase in wages for good work, eS-
pecially good work brings a bonus.
Those who are to receive them at
one of the distributions of bonuses
every three months, are selected at
conferences of the union and the
factory director, and nominated
at conferences regularly called of
all workers by departments, to dis
cuss production problems. Bonuses
are usually something useful; pig,
a bicycle, a musical instrument, a
sewing machine, or something else
the needs of the particular worker
being taken into consideration.
No Cuts in Wages
A skilled worker cannot be trans
ferred to lower paid labor. There is
no such thing as firing a skilled
man, and rehiring him as begin
ner-that old trick of wage cutting
in capitalist countries. If a man is
so transferred, in an emergency, he
has to be paid as skilled worker.
A pregnant woman, or sick or
disabled worker can not be dis
charged. They have to be paid their
wages while incapacitated, and then
given their job back when able to
work. There is four months leave

A Correction on the
Spanish Situation

In handling a news report on
Spain reprinted from a capitalist
news agency, the Daily Worker
committed a grave error. After
stating that the Communists, toge-
Their with the Socialists and Syndi-
calists, stood unalteraoly opposed to
any step on the part of the gov
-rnment which might lead to an
pen fascist dictatorship, the article
hen incorrectly stated that the
hole struggle of the masses Of
CDanish workers and their leaders
raS concentrated in an effort to
Lace workers, or their representa-
lives, in the bourgeois cabinet.
The Daily Worker wishes to rec
tify this error and to state that the
Communist Party of Spain, as well
as all Communist Parties, always
and consistently refuses to parti-
cipate in bourgeois cabinet. Fur
thermore, Communists enter into
bourgeois parliaments, not with any
illusions that socialism can be
achieved through parliamentary ac-
ton, but for the purpose of waging
the struggle there for the workers
needs and with the aim Of using
bourgeois parliaments as a forum
from which to arouse the masses for
day to day struggle and for prole-
tartan revolution.
To expose the role of the bour-
geoiS state, whatever form it may
take, to organize the Spanish work
ers for the final preparations to
destroy the bourgeois state and its
whole machinery, as institutions
which have nothing in common
with a workers state, real working
class democracy, and the organi-
cation of Soviets-these have always
been the main points in the ac-
tivity of the Communist Party of
Spain.

The Board, actually aware of the
prospect of effective strike under
the leadership of the joint strike
preparation committee, was still
discussing the marine situation late
today. 1t was said at N. R. A. head
quarters they might reach some de-
cision tonight or tomorrow.
Garrison again acknowledged
that serious" strikes under mill
tant leadership are expected here,
but expressed the hope" that it
would not be solid. He said he had
received a telegram from the Phila-
delpllia joint strike committee, de-
handing that it participate in any
strike negotiations. He explained
that, as he said in New York, he
would be willing to seek confer
ence between shipowners and mill
tant seamen's leaders, but that "the
shipowners probably wouldn't grant
it because they take the attitude
that these leaders are Communists
and would strike anyway"
