L. G. W, U. That this local, which was formerly the gangster local of the international, should be regained for that purpose, That all measures should be taken to disrupt the strike activities, For this purpose it was decided that the forces should be divided into three One squad should be sta- tioned in the strike meetings proper, another should be secretly assembled in a room in the building in which the strikers congregate and the third group be situated on the street close to the meeting hall. That when the occasion presents itself the three squads should descend upon the strik- ing workers and beat them up and split their heads open, Buy Off Police, The boys were also instructed that no floor committees must be permitted to be stationed in the hall by the gen- eral strike committee of the cloakmak- ers. That if the police happen to be present they be bought off so that they can do their dirty work unham- pered, “ The ‘instructions were given that the Communists are the first ones to be dealt with. In addition, all members of the strike committee and members of the joint board that support the militant leadership that is conducting the strike are to be visited and told to resign from their posts and to quit supporting the left wing. They are to be terrorized to do so. Also that their homes shall be visited and their families and relatives terrorized. This is strike-breaking union-smashing fas- cism with a vengeance.

The committee they designated is composed of the following: George Gordon Battle, head of the governor’s advisory commis- sion, tlre committee that handed down the decision against the workers that caused the strike; Louis Marshall and A, E. Rathstein. In addition, the bosses issued a statement claiming that the Commu nist Party directg the strike and pulls the strings. The bosses, in this re- spect, are using the same arguments that the reactionary officials are using and planning to use it with greater force to smash the strike, On last Wednesday night in Bee- thoven Hall, New York City, another secret meeting was held, but attended by a different crowd. This meeting was attended by several hundred mem- bers of the unwerold.

The meeting was packed with all the boys who are to help the conspiracy to smash the union and break the strike. Beckerman was present at the meeting, representing the Amalgamated. This meeting raised the demand that the Left Wing leadership resign and turn over the strike to Morris Sigman. The meeting also charged that the Left Wing was aligned with gangsters, gamblers and the’ worst elements of the underworld.

SEND PASSAIC STRIKE MUST BE WON FOR ALL THE TEXTILE WORKERS (Coninued from page 1) Senator Borah, but no information as to what occurred has been given out. There are certain conflicts in prog- ress, or developing, with the Passaic strike as their center, but which are evidence that other interests, in some instances interests diametrically op- posed, than those of the strikers are being considered. { The truth of the matter is that la- bor officials—and o' are playing politics with the Pas: strike in the democrat and It will be remembered that Matthew Woll, vice-president of the American Federation of Labor, shortly before the recent convention of that body, issued a statement attacking Senator Borah for his attempts to settle the strike. So far Borah ha@ not kept his' promise to address a mass meet- ing of the Passaic strikers and it is probable that the opposition of Woll and similar elements’ in the executive council of the A. F. of L, is respon- sible for this. ef b jpeonubeapantpen of the Forstmann- Huffman mills, reputed to be the sixteenth richest man in America, is cr a heavy contributor to the repub- lican party machine.

LOUIS ENGDAHL, MARECVERS for getting the ‘jobs and not struggles on principle divide the “old guard” and the so- called LaFollette wing of the repub- lican party in congress, This is again revealed in the reported tea- pot tempest raging between Presi- dent Coolidge on the one hand, and the two senators from North Dakota, Lynn Frazier and Gerald P, Nye, on the other, which threatens to scuttle republican power in the senate, There are a host of issues on which the North Dakota senators could thunder against .the “old guard,” especially that of farm re- Hef. But instead the battle rages over thefappointment by “Silent Cal” of his loyal henchman, Colonel Cc. F, Mudgett as United States Marshai for’ North Dakota, It be- comes a question of who is to get the “pie” in the appointments, % ¢ The appointment of Mudgett is merely another indication of the sleepless determination of the “old guard” not only to maintain but to strengthen its “machine in“this as well as in other states of the rest- less wheat and corn belts. Coolidge is reported to have made the ap- pointment at the suggestion of L. B, Hanna, “old guard” campaign manager in 1924, the guardian of the republican reaction's power in the state, This is the Hanna who sought to keep Nye out of the senate this year, with the good wishes of the White House. He fail- ed in the primaries and Nye had a walkaway in the November poll. But the voters, who put Frazier and Nye into the senate and are keeping them there for the time being, are anxiously trying to find out where the difference is between the ‘old guard” and its Frazier-Nye offshoot. They will want to know, what dif- ference does it make whether they suffer under the Coolidge-Mudgett- Hanna machine, or under the Nye- Frazier regime that has lost all’ its old flavor of protest. s 2 United States marshals, who are the federal policemen, like the post- masters, especially in the large cities, are very important cogs in the capitalist political organizations. They have no important functions to perform, all actual work being as- signed to assistants, enabling the appointees to give all their time to building and mending the fences of the bosses that they serve, The strenuous efforts being made by the Coolidge administration to grab off the appointments in North Dakota, indicate that the Wall Stréet gang, speaking thru the bankers, landlords and grain gamb- lers of the northwest, is eternally active in building up its strength, That it has ambitions to bring the erstwhile non-partisan leaguers with- in the fold is shown by the fact that no opposition was offered last month to the re-election of Governor Sorlie and Senator Nye. The bank- ers, the merchants and the outside business interests. could have op- posed the Sorlie-Frazier-Nye combi- nation at the polls in two ways: (1) by getting up an independent republicam candidate, or (2) by sup- porting the democrat as the Coo- lidge-Butler crowd did successfully in Iowa, ousting Brookhart, altho later turning the tables and helping to. elect him this year, But the infamous instrument of the North Dakota exploiters, the so- called “IVA”—the notorious Inde- Pendent Voters Association—did none of these things, It remained absolutely quiescent, permitting the Sorlie-Nye ticket to sweep all of its strongholds, especially Fargo, Bis- marck and Grarid Forks, always anti-league centers, This was cer- tainly not a tribute to the non-par- tisan league as a political power in- dependent of the republican party and fighting in the interests of the masses of workers and farmers, Rather was it a confession that the “leaders” of what still poses as the non-partisan league are satisfactory to the predatory interests that fight the workers. Sorlie and Nye were thus, to a great extent, the actual candidates of the “IVA.” In -fact, Williany Lemke, the farmer-labor candidate for governor, actually charged during the campaign that Sorlie was the candidate of the bankers, ee Under these circumstances the plundered masses in North Dakota cannot be expected to get very ex- cited about the sham battle between Frazier and Nye on one side and Coolidge on the other over the ap- pointment of a United States mar- shal. If Frazier’s man crowds out Coolidge’s appointee at the pie counter, as he may be permitted to do in order to assure the votes of Frazier and Nye for the “old guard” in the senate, those who constitute the “IVA” may still rest easy since nothing will be radically changed in the state: 4 This does not mean that the Coo- lidge-Butler outfit will always be satisfied with Frazier, Nye and Sorlie, No doubt, just as soon as they have served their usefulness to great capital in betraying the in- terests of the workers and farmers, they will be dropped in the politi- cal gutter, Tis does not mean that Coolidge- ism will become triumphant in North Dakota. On the contrary, it means that the class lines will be- come clearer than ever, the preli- minary condition to the building of the Farmer-Labor Party as the in- dependent political power of the workers and farmers, This party is already in existence, in organized form, in North Dakota, It did not show great strength in the Novem- ber elections, This is easily under- stood. The workers and farmers had been led to expect much from the non-partisan leaguers, and the disillusionment has not yet set in. ‘But Sorlie and Nye have now made peace, aside from minor and unim- Portant skirmishes, with the ‘busi- Ress interests and are now very far removed from the workers and farmers in the state. North Dakota labor will learn its lesson and press forward to real and lasting victories. 4 ofthe U. T. W. The scab loom fix- ers now in the Botany, if the scheme is carried thru, would be chartered as Local 1606. The local union of the strikers is 1603 and over the scab loom fixers and spinners’ local, 1606, it would have no control. The members of Local 1603, who have fought all thru the strike, would be left out in the cold, blacklisted and forced to find employment elsewhere. Local 1603 would cease to exist. The unskilled workers will be be- trayed if this scheme is allowed to work out. not agree and he has instructed Vice- President Starr, his representative in charge of the strike, to enter into no negotiations with Moore. McMahon also rejected the offer of the services of his organization made by Meyers, industrial secretary of the Federated Council of the Churches of Christ. ee , HE announcement of a ten per cent increase in wages by the Bot- any mill last Monday, has created a new situation. It was already ru- mored, before the announcement was made, that Colonel Johnson of the Botany was in favor of a settlement. Proposals had also been made to the local committee by Vice-President Starr for the organization of the skill- ed strikebreakers in the Botany plant and the issuance of a charter to them. The local committee rejected these proposals. ‘Then President McMahon and Vice- President Starr proposed that a char- ter be issued to the scab spinners and loom fixers in the Botany plant, se- curé recognition for this scab local and then sottle the strike after this local had “requested” no discrimin- ation for strikers. President McMa- hon has also asked the secretary of the Passaic Jocal for the names of the loom fixers and spinners now Scabbing in the Botany. e @ | - is my opinion that the official- dom of the U. T. W. and at least a section of A. F. of L. officialdom, do not want the bosses to settle With the men and women who have prov- ed their militancy by more than ten months of bitter struggle, on a basis that will build a strong mass union of unskilled workers in Passaic and I think that any honest observer, con- versant with the facts, will arrive at the same conclusion. > . That the Passaic strikers have plen- ty of stamina and fighting spirit left is_ shown by the fact that the an- nouncement of the ten per cent in- crease by the Botany, because it car- rled no recognition of the union with it, brought no stampeed to the mills, as the bosses, and some of the “la- bors” advisers, undoubtedly thot it would, but on the contiary was hall- ed correctly by the strikers as ovi- dence of weaknosg on the part of the mill owners and by a unanimous voto at the strikers’ mass meeting to con- Unue the struggle. The campaign for relief must be in- tensifled and the ‘resources of the la~ bor movement placed again at the dis- posal of the Passaic General Relief Committee, T is evident that desertion of the unskilled strikers is at least boing considered, The mechanics of this sordid scheme would be about as follows: Separate charters are issued for | ; ment. Pa BRATIANU GANG HOLDS DESTINY OF ROUMANIANS Queen and Carol Rum- ors Only Wild Guesses (Special to The Daily Worker) “BUCHAREST, Dec. 3—With the European and American press agitat- ing itself about a possible palace revo- lution led by the ex-Crown Prince Carol, the establishment of a regency with Queen Marie at its head and many other guesses about Roumanja’s jdynastic future in the event of King Ferdinand’s death, the following facts are enlightening: King Ferdinand’s illness is of a nature that may carry him off at any moment and he is an old man, But for the time being he is well enough to go about his routine state duties and is expected to meet Queen Marie at the station when she arrives from Paris. But the rumors about possible up- risings over the question of Ferdi- nand’s successor “tre considerably dampened when it is known that the real rulers of Roumania are not the royal household. The most powerful individual in the country is Jan- Bratianu, former premier and son of Roumania's “Gari- baldi.” He and two of his brothers are wealthy capitalists and fiannciers who may be said to have Roumania’s rich mineral and of] resources in their pockets. The present government of Averesco exists by grace of the Bratianu broth- ers! It is recalled that prior to the jlast election, Averescu’s party con- trolled only several ‘seats in partlia- ment, During the last election, as if. by magic, his party became the majort- ty. The magic consisted in the ability of the olgartchy to control the polls. Soldiers were freely used at the ballot boxes, as in all Roumantan elections, and Averescu’s majority was secured in advance. There are various reasons for Averescu coming to power. The chief reason was that Bratianu’s own in- terest required a change of govern- But the accession of General Averescu to the premiership did not lessen the enormous power of Jan Bratianu who, it is openly declared by the opposition parties has more real power in Roumania than Mus- |solini has in Italy. Bratianu is definitely set against Carol's return. This means that Carol will not return to Roumania despite the “informal” conversation Marie is reported to have had with her son in Paris where she stopped to do her Christmas shopping on the way home. That, in brief, is the political situa- tion in Roumania. The capitalist and financial oligarchy of “Greater. Rou- mania” under the leadership of Jan Bratianu and his powerful brothers, is the dominating force in the country aud, incidentally, the power responsi-® ble for conditicns that the Roumanian censorship- does not permit to be talked about in news going out of Ron- mania ‘and only in a muffled tone within the country, Russian Fraction Meets Monday.
