THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, fage Three ' Strike of 300, 000 German Textile Workers Laas as 5 Mill Owners Refuse Increase BOSSES DECLARE | CONTRACTS NULL ON NOVEMBER 30 Strike Strong and Growing BERLIN, October 31.—In order to bring pressure to bear upon the tex- tile workers unions in the Rhine- land, who refuse to continue the present wage scales, the Saxon tex- tile employers have decided to termi- nate all wage contracts on Novem- ber 30, thus practically assuring the walkout of 300,000 workers. The millowners demand that the present wage scale be continued, while the workers declare that the | wages they receive at present are not enough to live on and demand a wage increase. The government, called upon to mediate, had decided for a slight in- ,erease in wages which the Rhinish labor officials had accepted in the face of rank and file opposition, but which decision the millowners re- fuse to agree to. In view of the sentiment among the textile workers it is hardly probable that they will accept the continuation of the present wage scale. The move of the Saxon mill- owners is frankly to force the labor unions, both in Saxony and in the Rhineland to continue the present, wage scale or face a walkout in the whole textile industry. While before the labor officials | could mollify the workers by point- ing. to the government decision, now) due to the refusal of the millowners to accept that decision and their evident purpose of forcing a general strike, it is probable that a general walkout can hardly be prevented. Sentiment Is | Sordid Aftermath of Sordid Murder A sordid aftermath to the Snyder-Gray murder case, one of the most sordid of recent years, appears in the form of a fight for | $95,000, the insurance alleged due the daughter of Ruth Snyder. Photo shows three of the figures in the litigation. They are, left to right, Mrs. Josephine E. Brown, mother of Mrs. Snyder, and her lawyers, Joseph Leonardo and Judge F. G. Groehl. Communist Influence! St. Louis Communists on Socialist Rank and Approve Decisions, of File Grows in Holland. Third Int'l Congress (Wireless to the Daily Worker) AMSTERDAM, Oct. 31.—On the} |Amsterdam municipal council there | |is at present an empty seat, and the bourgeois parties propose that the social-democrats re-enter the council by accepting this seat. * Last year, the social-democrats re- fused to enter, the council because the bourgeois parties offered them | two seats while the social-democrats wanted three. This year, leaders like Oudegeest and Wibart were anxious to enter, but a plenary ses- sion of their party voted to refuse the offer. ST. LOUIS, (By M Mail).—The pee eral membership meeting of the St. Louis Sub- district, at which Wm. F, Kruse spoke, “reiterated its un- swerving adherence to the line of the Communist International and ex- pressed its complete agreement with | the decisions and resolutions of the | VI World Congress.” The program of the C.

FULL SWING OF FASCIST TERROR - HITS BULGARIA :: Despite All (By Red Aid P Press Service) | SOFIA, Bulgaria, (By Mail).—| The shaky position of the govern- ment is responsible for a new cam- paign of terror against the working class movement. The reactionary | “Slovo” openly demands the dissolu- tion of the Workers Party. Tn Vidin a number of the officials |of the Workers Party have been | threatened with death. In Varna the | archives of the party have been con- fiscated. In connection with the In+ ternational Day of Youth on the | second of September a memorandum }of the committee “War Against ' War!” was confiscated by the police and the members of the committee, young workers, placed under charges. According to the national liberal organ “Nessavissimost,” 25 young workers are to be tried on the basis of the “Law for the Protection of the State” for having “agitated on behalf of the International Day of Youth.” Pe eat | Democrats Discuss Situation. The official organ of the demo- cratic party “Zname” writes of the situation in Bulgaria in a leading article on the 31st of July, 1928: “The countryside is dotted with the graves of thousands of our mur- dered fellow countrymen.

Must there be another civil war, with thousands of new graves and great destruction. Perhaps the people will lose their long-suffering patience and one day sweep all this away.” In connection with the finding of the corpse of a _ school teacher stabbed to death by irresponsible elements, . the :same newspaper writes: “Open and secret governmental organizations hold the lives and property of private citizens in their hands. Today no one fs certain of his life, no one can be certain that tomorrow he too will not ‘disappear’ like the unfortunate teacher An- dreiev in Vidin.” ANTI-COMMUNIST To Aid U. s.
