HOPE
THOUGHT FOR
EARLY BREAK
Guardsmen Protect Factories In
Cities As Strikers Reported
Ready For Further Efforts.
DEATH TOLL MOUNTS
Presidential Action Expected
Following Report To Be Sub
mitted By Special Board.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. W.D :
Sullen calm prevailed on the 1900
mile textile strike front today with
little indication of an imminent
break in the giant industrial con-
flict.
National guardsmen's bayonets
protected mills where trouble was
feared. Attention was centered on
q report by the presidential media
ton board headed by Gov. John G.
Winant 1t probably will be made
within 48 hours.
The report, reviewing conditions
in the textile industry which led up
to the strike, will be the basis of
further peace efforts. Until it is
presented there was little likelihood
of change in the strike lines.
The board indicated it virtually
had completed its report
Definite commentators govern
ing procedure to be followed to re-
store peace to the industry are ex-
pected. The report will be relayed
to President Roosevelt by Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins.
| The strike committee headed by
Francis j. German held authorize
ton to call another 10000 allied
workers in the rug, dyeing, under
wear, rayon and corset industries
from their jobs.
| German intimated the allied
workers would be called out by the
! end of the week unless industry
makes some move toward arbitra-
ton.
The number of idle workers re-
manned virtually unchanged. Mill
owners reported four more Georgia
mills and 10 in North Carolina had
reopened under protection of mill
tia.
Quietness of the New England
front was reflected in the demobili
zation of the Connecticut national
guard. However, additional guards
men were called to duty in Maine.
Trouble was feared again in Rhode

The Wisconsin primary provided
political students with a confusing
picture. The party vote of Demo-
Gratis, Progressives and Republicans
was punched closely.
In the senatorial race John M.
Callahan, former Democratic ma
tional committeeman, led five can
didates. Sen. Robert M. La Toilette,
Jr., won the Progressive nomina-
ton without opposition. John B.
Chapple, youthful editor, won the
Republican nomination also with
out opposition.
Here the Progressives again with
out a contest ran apparently only
slightly behind the Democratic
total with the Republicans in third
place.
The Wisconsin primary had been
watched closely for evidence of a
possible spread of the third party
movement to other states.

HAVANA, Sept. 10. U.P)-Explo-

tion campaigns will be organized on
an official basis tomorrow when
eight political parties hold their
state conventions here.
Settlement of Democratic prob
lens and adoption of platforms
were expected to be the main ac-
complishments. Nearly every can
didate who was successful in the
August primary will be here.
Interest was centered in the Dem
ocratic convention, where efforts
will be made to settle disagreements
of Upton Sinclair's followers and
old line Bourbons. The Republican
convention held considerable poll
tical significance, because it was ex'
pected to formulate one of the most
liberal platforms ever constructed
by the G. o. P. in California.
Observers believed the Democrats,
after considerable wrangling, would
formulate a platform based on a
modified new deal' plan and in
cooperating some of the fundamen-
tails of Sinclair's EPIC program.
Predictions were general that the
convention would end in a ''love
Vfeast" at which most of the party
leaders would pledge their support
to Sinclair.
No one seemed able to say how
far Sinclair would go toward de-
manding control of the convention

Workers Picket Relief
office Despite Threats

and announced that the relief sta
ton will remain closed but the re-
lief orders will be sent out to the
clients and that grievances can be
submitted in writing. In the mean
time mass meeting of 300 workers
was held where the decision was
made to continue the picketing until
their demands were granted.
The picketing of the relief station
has stirred up tremendous sentiment
for the unemployed. Trade unions
have invited speakers from the
picket line, listened to the explana-
ton of the demands and the fight
and several local unions have en-
dorsed the demands and the ac-
ton, agreeing to broaden out the
movement by calling a united front
conference to plan further actions.
The Mclean County Workers Al
lance is busy besides continuing the
picket line, going to various work
ing class organizations, churches
and veterans groups inviting these
organizations to take part in the
united front.
While this is going on, the Pan
tagraph" in its raving editorials is
calling for yigilante terror against
the Bloomington workers. In its
editorial Saturday, Dec. 1, the Pan
tagraph states the following: There
are in this city organizations with
civic pride and stamina who will
assist the sheriff's Office and the
police department to take care of
the situation" and already meet
ings we're held between the city
officials and the leaders of the
Legion where discussions
we're held on how to take care Of
the situation"
Workers of Bloomington are not
bluffed by this calling for reign
of terrcS against them, they have
confidence in their mass support
and militancy to defeat the terror
lists and forcing the granting of
their demands by the relief author
tiles.

Guilty, would sincerely vote yes"
for the Workers Unemployment
and Social Insurance Bill, and for
the same reason I would like you
to send me full information about
the Communist Party.
1t is two years since I am reading
the Daily Worker, and I like it
better than any other paper.
I would like to tell you that in
this Jones and Laughlin town, there
are plenty of people in favor of the
Soviet Union.
A great many people say that
next year they are going to throw
out all the thugs that are in Office
now, in this town, and they are go
ing to see to it that the workers
have their rights here. That's what
the Amalgamated Association is do
ing now.
Then, we will have better
chance to build the International
Workers Order, and next in line to
build Communist organization.
This town was built and has been
controlled by Jones and Laughlin
for so years. And there is nobody
worse against the labor movement
than them.
I believe the A. A. has started to
break this control down and we
must complete the job.
We only work two to four days a
pay. We can not get any relief
nohow because we draw pay. The
relief directors are so rotten they
won't stand for any kind of rea-
soning.

He led me up another flight of
stairs and through a musty hall to

Hamilton, Ohio.

hamilton, ONO.
Dear Comrade Editor:
With deepest sorrow I write in
sympathy with the Russian and the
world working class for the loss of
our beloved and outstanding leader,
Comrade Kirov of the Soviet Union.
The workers understand assassin
spies are agents of our enemies, the
capitalists. We also know such ter
ror is meant to sabotage the work
of the Party. This is and will be
done the world over, but it must
only mean to us at this time a more
determined and burning spirit.
1t Is true they assassinated Kirov
and many others. They cannot de-
stroy the Soviet Union or the Party
throughout the world.
Here in America, and in all i'm
perialist countries, workers are Com
munists because of such terror,
starvation and brutality. We find
ourselves thinking alike, fighting
together.
May it be long remembered by oul
enemies: Let them kill one or one
hundred of our leaders, we will moi
stop our revolutionary struggle, but
will strike back with greater force
We will build and renew our cour.
age and understanding, and wiz
more and more fighters for Soviet
America and a Soviet world.

3-HOur Wait
In Line Nets
Can of Fish
BY a Worker Correspondent

AUBURN, Mel am writing this
in order to expose some of the ter
rible conditions that exist among
the workers in this supposed land
of the free.
On bitter cold morning recently,
1 left my home, which was cold
because of lack of fuel, and our
food was so miserably low that I
did not think we could hold out
another day.
I went to the government quar-
tiers for the free distribution of
food. On arriving there at $50
am, found the door locked and
about 100 people waiting in line.
I was informed that doors were
not to be opened for another hour.
They would not let us come inside,
although there was plenty of room
there and it was warm.
I noticed that the workers were
very scantily dressed for such cold
weather. Little children without
stockings, coats or mittens were
there. These kiddies told me that
they had no more clothes, and that
they hadn't eaten breakfast and
were hoping to get something to
eat here.
We stood that way until about
1870 am. At that time, scantily
dressed woman tainted from the
cold. She was then admitted into
the building. We were then told
that only three of us were to be
admitted at a time.
At about noon, it was my turn to
go in. I was told that the rest
of the meat was condemned. The
barrels were in a very dirty con-
dition. was given one small can of
fish after a three hour wait in the
cold.
Is this the New Deal?
Is this what Roosevelt promised?
