and bureaucratic control in the
unions.
In Local 1888 of the American
Federation of Silk and Rayon Dyers,
with few exceptions, the rank and
file slate headed by Charles Vigor-
ito, was elected. The slate consisted
of those who since the 1888 strike
when the union was established,
have taken leading part in build
ing it, and stood for unity with the
National Textile Workers Union
before 1t was merged into the UTW.
The victory in the Plain Goods
Department of Local 1716, American
Federation of Silk Workers, and
with the election of the entire slate
of fifteen rank and file members
by a three to one majority, consti-
tutes a similar reputation of the
local agents of German and Mac
Mahon-the Lovestoneites headed
by Eli Keller, and the reactionary
supporters of the most conservative
wing in the Socialist Party. 1t is a
reputation Of their stand at the
recent convention of the Federation
and determination not to accept
wage cut.
There is no doubt about the deter
mination of the workers to follow
line Of militant action. The task
now is to lose no time in putting in
to action the program uron which

which have held the attention of
the membership in both unions dur
ing the recent period shows that
the following should be Incorporated
in program of action, and it
should be the duty of every Com
munist in Paterson and sympathize
to put all energy behind it.
Every shop must be made into q
100 per cent union shop. The shop
chairman and shop committee
should be chiefly responsible for
leading a fighting policy in the
shops.
In the dye shops it is to force the
bosses to live up to the agreement.
In the silk shops it is to put into
effect the demands recently worked
out in the convention of the Silk
Federation. In the silk union it is
apparent that this will necessitate
the defeat of Keller and the others
who are still in and will hinder
such attempts in the shops.
To initiate a broad educational
program in both unions, train the
active workers to take leadership
in all union functions, and to give
the workers such knowledge as will
counterfeit the class collaboration
theology of the reactionaries.
Lay special stress in drawing into
union activity the unemployed,
youth, and women. This should be

During the hearing before Judge
Underwood, many testified that
strikers had not committed a single
act Of violence. Governor Talmadge,
who claimed that the martial law
proclamation of last summer was
not yet revoked, and therefore he
was justified in sending troops,
wrote to the judge that release of
the Strikers will be disastrous and
lead to rioting and bloodshed."
Three automobiles carrying strike
breakers to the Daisy Mill, one of

for the present, but the sheriff is

MOSCOW, Jan. 18( BY Wireless)
Forced by the weight of the evil
dence to admit their crime against
the working class, the zinoviev,
Kamenev and the other seventeen
despicable counter revolutioniStS
tried with them deserve only the
wrathful contempt of the whole
working class, declared "Pravda, u
central organ of the Communist
Party here in an editorial today.
"They we're obliged to admit that
the poison of the zinoviev under
ground, counter-revolutionary cess
pool used white guard methods of
struggle against the Soviet govern
ment. AS a result, an open terrorist
frame of mind arose, was strength
ened, and resulted in the atrocious
murder of our Comrade Kirov.
1.-THE culpritS Of this crime, which
stirred not only the Soviet country,
but the workingclass of the whole
world, appeared before the prole-
tartan court in all their loathsome
nakedness, They are cursed by the
toilers everywhere.

1t is not accidental that this miser-
able, despicable heap of rouges in
their struggle against the Party,
against the Soviet government,
against the collective farm system,
against socialism, plunged into
bloody white guardism.
Evdokimov Statement Deadly"
1.-THE accused Evdokimov's state

firm all the charges. Evdokimov's
statement is deadly.
This document is deadly, not
only for himself, but for all his con-

Their counter revolutionary actiyi-

The estimation of the decisive VIC

differ from the white-guardists and
fascists.

when unemployed come under 5he
scope of the Administrations plans,
the committee report recommends
that extended cash benefits seem to
us far less desirable than work
BENEFITS" The committee recon-
mended that after an employee
"has exhausted his contractual
rights" he be placed on the lists as
entitled to work relief when and If
such work relief is available. The
entire plan is suggested as frankly
experimental"
The Works Program"
The present army of unemployed
will be accorded work relief under
the plans of the Roosevelt admins
tration. The outlines of this plan
have already been given by Federal
Relief Administrator Harry l..
Hopkins.
Wages are to be at rates lower
than in private industry, and the
full meaning of this can be seen in
tn recent abandonment of the 30
cent an hour minimum rates on the
relief projects. Although unem-
ployment estimates run from the
A. F. of L. estimate Of IL $4,000 to
the Pen and Hammer survey Of
nearly 100000 this works project
is drafted to give jobs to not more
than 100000.
we regard work as preferable to
other forms of relief where pos
sible," the report states. while we
favor unemployment compensation
in cash, we believe that 1t should be
provided for limited periods on a
contractual basis and without gov
ernmental subsidies. Public funds
should be devoted to providing
work, rather than to introduce re-
lief element into what should be
strictly an insurance system"
Here is contained the kernel Of
the new work division" set up Of
the FERA--jobs at less than wages
in private employment for only a
limited time and the total abolition
of Federal aid to local relief.
Federal Relief To End
Further on the report states that
sit would be desirable to extend
Federal loans at low rates Of in
terest to States and local govern
ments for employment purposes. To
the bankrupt cities and States with
their Anticipated welfare laws, this
means a complete withdrawal Of
Federal aid from the field Of relief.
"Unemployables," that vast army
! of destitute sick, aged and otherwise
incapacitated groups Of workers
who have been abandoned accord
ing to the announced policy of the
Federal government, are dumped
onto to bankrupt municipalities.
This starvation policy is condoned
in full by the Committees report.
"UnempIoyables" Abandoned
In the intervening period, about
forty-three State legislatures will
have met and adjourned, most Of
them without any provision for
these "unemployable" destitute
workers.
One lady and four old gentlemen
who have never known hunger sub
mitted the report. They are Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau,

tary of Agriculture Wallace, all

persons who in the course of many
years repeatedly betrayed the in
terests of the party and hypocrit-
ically repented only to resume
afresh their struggles against the
Soviet power. Now they are re-
duced to a miserable bunch of
rogues who long since became de-
generate in their final ruin. They
made fresh attempts but were
caught.
I'VE declare there cannot be mercy
for those who put the revolver in
the hands of the murderer of our
dear Comrade Kirov."
The workers in the Lenin plant
declared:
Caught Red-Handed
"Zinoviev and the other counter
revolutionaries were caught red
handed and are beginning to re-
pent. Now they will deceive no one
any more. The Moscow Center" CT
the zinoviev-Kamenev group is
responsible for Kirov's death to no
less a degree than the Leningrad
Center whose hands are stained
with the blood of our Comrade XII
row."
The resolution of the workers of
the Kirov plant, the former Red
Putilov works, demand that the
proletarian court apply the severest
punishment to the bourgeois degen-
crates who wrenched Comrade
Kirov out of the feminist ranks.
Professor Knippovitch, prominent
scientist whose fiftieth anniversary
of scientific activities is being
celebrated throughout the entire
Soviet republic, said, in one of his
many meetings:
Long ago we experienced the ex-
tremely heavy feeling for the great
loss, and feeling of great repulsion
and indignation connected with the
treacherous murder of Comrade
Kirov, But still heavier is the con-
seriousness that this is the work of
persons who once belonged to the
Party and betrayed it, and then
repented, only to continue their
dirty work. We know our duty and
will fulfill it to the end.

REPORT IS MADE
IN COURT INQUIRY
Cummings Reveals Receipt
of Document, but Details
Are Withheld.

Attorney General Cummings has
received a partial report on the JUS
tice Department. extensive investiga-
ton of alleged Irregularities in con-
nection with Police Court practices
here. Cummings told reporters at his
press conference today the report was
received only a few days ago and he
has not had an opportunity to read it.
He said the data was preliminary in
nature.
The investigation was requested
several months ago by United States
Attorney Leslie C. Garrett. 1t is be-
ing conducted by special agents Of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
under the personal direction of j. Ed
gar Hoover.
The agents are reported to have
found numerous instances involving
irregular listing of fines imposed by
the court and improper bonding prac-
tices. 1t has been stated the judges
of the Police Court are not under in
vestigation.
Cummings, in response to a ques-
ton, denied that there has been any
friction between his department and
the House Committee Investigating
Crime in the District over the severe
grilling to which Garnett recently was
subjected at the Capitol. 1t was re-
ported the committee resented alleged
efforts by justice representative to
steer the investigation away from
Garnett's Office.
