DAILY WORKER. EW VORK, TI) KSDAV. Ne \CTOBER 27, 1931 NO ARBITRATION! NO_ WAGE SLASHING! SAY LAWRENCE STRIKERS Young Striker Tells of of Vicions Speed-up in Spinning Dep’t of Arlington Mill Demand Release of All Strike Prisoners and; All Workers in Boss Jails Daily Worker: Lawrence, Mass. A group of strikers amounting to 150 selected by the Lawrence strikers went to Boston to protest Against the sell- out of textile strike by the American Fakeration of Labor. The first thing we did when we got in Boston was to have a short meeting planning out how we were to carry out our work there. We decided to go to the State House where the arbitration conference organized by the A. was being held. We all walked over to the State ‘House and on the way we were stopped by a big fat sergeant of the police department. He held us up for a long time. Meanwhile all po- lice precincts were called up to send all forces that they could spare. Along came the police, running as if they were going “over the top” in no-man’s-land, and told us to keep moving. This didn’t stop us, but, on the contrary, we carried out our demonstration against these fakers. Our slogans yeere: No wage-cut! No arbitration! Not a cent off our pay! ‘We demand the release of all strike prisoners as well as all class-war prisoners! Lawrence striker from the mill of American Woolen Co. eR Lawrence, Mass. Daily Worker: I am a striker from the Arlington Woolen Mill. We came out on strike against a wage-cut and we are de- sy of L. to sell out our strike re that we shall have no wage-cuts. I work in the spinning de- partment. The conditions in this department® are no good. We are being speeded up continually. For example, we used to have four men on the spinning frames, but now the bosses are laying off one man and forcing three men to do the work of four. Also they put larger gears on these spinning frames which speed up the machine. Most of the de- partment are young workers. After a day's work we are so tired we can just eat supper and go to bed. Now that we are on strike the boss has gotten all the police department, the mayor, the A. F, of L. and all sorts of fakers to smash our strike and send us back to work with the wage-cut. But we won't give up. We will join the National Textile Workers’ Union and win our strike. ‘We shall fight these fakers and tools of the bosses, fight arbitration be- cause this means a wage-cut for us. Johnstown Miners Organize Against New Cut In Wages (By a Worker Correspondent) JOHNSTOWN, Pa.—The miners of |@ meeting with these miners and called on them to strike. the Charles mine got another wage- cut which affected 150 miners. They received 56 cents a ton before the cut took place, now they are getting 50 cents. ‘We held a mass meeting at the mine in East Seward. There were 30 miners at the meeting. We did not have a strike vote, but we organized @ committee in the mine. The Valley Smocles Coal Co. have not paid their men for a month. The company has been postponing their pay every three days. The miners do not know when they will get their pay. The National Miners Union had: All the miners are sharpening their. picks themselves, but just the same they are charged 25 cents every two weeks for blacksmith fees. There are a hundred miners in the Smocles Mine and they are only getting $1 a week from the company store. The company, however, takes money for house rent, coal and light before they are allowed anything from the store. When the miners demand their pay, the superintendent and the clerk chase them away with guns. They also have a yellow dog named Stutz who helps the bosses starve the miners. Great Toll of Bank Failures Weaken Fin&Ancial Stability Your banks failed Thursday in Ohio, including one each in the cities of Canton, Massillon, Alliance, and Monroeville. In Evansville, Indiana, and Philippi, West Virginia, two banks failed. These are only the bank failures for the day that the capitalist press reports. In addition to these there are many more that are never reported in the capitalist press. These bank failures are continuing at a tremendous rate despite the “credit pool” that was organized ac- cording to the Hoover program. In the month of September, 298 banks failed with deposits of $271,299,000. In the first nine months of 1931 there were 1,245 bank failures with deposits of $929,000,000, as compared with 1,345 failures in the whole year of 1930, with deposits of $865,000,000. In 1929 there were 642 failures, af- fecting $234,000,000 deposits. In the two years and nine months from 1929 thru September, 1931, the number of bank failures totaled 3,232, with de- posits of $2,028,000,000. In the early pert of the crisis the failures occured primarily in the banks in the agrarian sections. As the crisis has deepened the bank failures have spread to the largest cities. The growth of the bank fail~ ures in the biggest cities-is the most direct evidence of the weakening of the entire banking structure in the ‘United States and 6f the develop- ment of the financial crisis. ‘The Hoover credit pool was an at~ financial structure thru inflation. In it means that the big banks to rob the weaker banks of be left with the “frozen assets” failures will increase rapidly. severe is the financial crisis egg laws so that the banks and companies will be per- hold securities ee eine Lrsvanieary rapidly in value di "4 the past several years. The unsound condition ‘of the banks and the life ‘msurance companies is going to be Jegalized in order to try to prevent the further shattering of the finan- etal structure. ‘The financial cric':, however, has sharpened greatly as the direct re- sult of the extreme depths to which the’ economic crisis has sunk. The Jegalizing of the rotten financial sit- wation of the banks will not prevent their crashing, will not prevent’ the further weakening of the entire panking system thruout the United States. ‘The crashing of the banks which goes on at an iniensified tempo week by week is the most important in- dication of the descent of the finan- cial structure of the United States into the newest phase of the eco- nomic crisis—the shattering of fi- nancial stability. Boss Press Admits Secret Agreements Not Made Public (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ences which J. P. Morgan had with Laval and with leading French bank- ers before Laval sailed for the United States. In these conferences the terms were agreed on for the joint struggle of the United States and French imperialists for the redivision of the world and against the Sovict Union. The agreement of the two imperi- alists established the political hege- mony of France in Europe in the joint struggle against British finance capital, The report of the New York ‘Times concerning the results of the conference points directly to war in agreeing to French hegemony in Eu~ Tope. “The United States keeps aloof from the political side of European settlements, except where a pros- pect might exist that political prob- lems would lead to war. It was agreed that the adjustment of these political problems was large- ly the responsibility of France as the strongest nation in Europe to- day, and leadership must rest with that country.” Both imperialists have decided that the struggle against British finance capital can be most effectively car- ried on if the gold standard is main- tained. With the continuation of the gold standard the power of France and the United States on the field of intternational finance will be tre- mendously strengthened as compared with Great Britain which has been forced off of the gold standard. This agreement has already brought forth an attack by the British imperialists who have been fighting for a world monetary conference in order that the British imperialists should in some manner be relieved of the dis- advantage resulting from the suspen- sion of the gold standard. ‘The United States bankers have agreed that the German reparations question should be discussed only in the lines laid down by the Young plan. The French imperialists in- sisted on riper in return for conces- aL These” hree > PICKET LUNE AT CITY HALL IN LAWRENCE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) and drove the crowd away. Then Marshal O’Brien appeared on the Staircase inside the city hall and stated, “You can’t see the city coun- cil and that is final.” The committee of ten were then ejected. The strikers and committee re-~ turned to the United Front Rank and File Strike Committee headquarters, filling the hall to overflowing and ex- pressing indignation at the action of the police and council. Biedenkapp, reporting, showed that the strikers must vote out the city officials who represent the bosses and elect their own candidates like Bramhall, Com- munist Party candidate for mayor. Biedenkapp urged, amidst the en- thusiasm of the strikers, that every- one be an organizer and bring thous- ands to the mass meetings, organize mill committees and next time to go with thousands to the city hall. Bramhall was then introduced and declared that if elected he would clean out and fumigate city hall and let the workers’ committee in at any time. There was much applause at his remarks. Five hundred strikers met at Lin- coln Court on Sunday despite the rainstorm and two hundred in the hall meetings. Jail Organizer Italian organizer, Capuant! of the ‘ot Teomt Pank and File Strike Committee was arrested during the + ululo.cuation today, charg- ed with idleness and is now being bailed out. 6,000 Picket Wood Mill LAWRENCE, Oct. 26.—Six thous- and strikers picketed the Wood Mills this morning. The line grew con- stantly from several hundred at five oclock in the morning to eight o'clock. About five hundred picketed along Essex Street which is as close as the police would permit them to get to the Washington Mill. In these lines no A. F. of L. badges were worn and the United Front Rank and File Strike Committee picket captains di- rected the operations while strikers sang National Textile Union songs. The Arlington picket line had about three hundred pickets with two A. F. of L. badges worn, but many Nationa] Textile Union members’ were also present, singing the songs of the Nas tional Textile Union. United Textile Organizer Sylvia arrived late at the Arlington Mill; the Pickets“were decisive of his late ar- rival and he went away. The 1 rited Textile Workers Union ordérs were to picket the Arlington and’ Pacific Print. ‘The Pacific Print Mill had hundreds of pickets with no A. F. of L. badges worn. About twenty scabs got into all the Lawrence Mills this morning. Gorman, Vice-President of the U. T. W. at a meeting last night at Eagle’s Hall stated: “The workers are willing to accept a fact finding .com- mission representative of both sides set up by the state or an agreement to arbitrate by a neutral commission with an equal number on both sides and an impartial chairman.” Even at this meeting United Textile organ- izers admitted that the strikers will not go back with a ten per cent cut, ‘The UTW and A. F. of L. fakers are by all means trying under the slogan of “arbitration” to get the workers wack into the mills, thus ending the strike and ensuring the wage cuts. They know the workers are militantly fighting against wage cuts and use the fakery of “arbitration” as a means to end the strike. Hundreds picketed the Shawsheen Mill of the American Woolen Com~ Pany in the adjoining village of Shawsheen. The combing room and one other department is working in the Shawsheen Mill, but all the rest of the mill is struck. Two hundred strikers packed the hall at the headquarters of the Unt- ted Front Rank and File Strike Com- mittee and nearly all voted to go with the committee today to the city council, 2.3 MILLION MORE WORKERS FOR INDUSTRY MOSCOW, Oct. 26.—The People's Commissariat for Labor in the Sov- jet Union has just ratified plans for recruiting 2,392,000 workers for in- dustry, and in particular for the building industry, from out the ranks of agriculture where the work of saving labor by the use of machin- ery is proceeding rapidly. CANAL TO BE CUT FROM MOS-. COW TO VOLGA MOSCOW, Oct. 26.—The Council of People’s Commissars has just con- firmed the plans for the cutting of a canal from the river Moskva (Mos- cow) to the Volga. The project is known as Moskanalstroi. Big inland water transport docks are to be erected in Moscow and the new canal will be of great economic importance. Soviet “Forced Labor”—Bedacht's series in pamphlet form at 10 cents per copy. Read it—Spread it! when the Hoover moratorium by Ger- many was concluded without con- sulting the French imperialists who were vitally interested. While nothing was made public with reference to the Manchyrian situation, this studied silence on this question indicates clearly that France has sanctioned the U. S.-Japanese policy in China. A world policy thus been worked out and the logical outcome will be (On the Eve of the 14th Anni- versary of October (From an editorial in Pravda, October 13, 1931.) N aes 14th Anniversary of the October Revolution is approaching. The 14th year which is coming to an end has been marked with tremen- dous new victories of socialism, with new defeats of the capitalist world “The Twilight of Europe’—thus has the bourgeois philosopher Spengler named his book several years ago. Now the frames have been extended. Capitalism has its twilight not only in Europe. The economic crisis has marched over the seas and oceans that are bathing the European continent and has grasped the entire capitalist world. One after another the mainstays of capitalism are crashing. “Great Britain” is compelled to abolish the gold standard, is contracting the salaries of police and the fleet. The “prosperity” of the American bourgeoisie has ended, never to return, and the bourgeoisie who because of their stu- pidity considered the crisis a purely European misfortune. In “the blessed America”—the U. S. A.—there are at present millions of permanently un- employed, thousands of enterprises are closed, hundreds of banks are bankrupt. "Beautiful France’—the banker and the gendarme of Europe—is systematically contracting its production; France is likewise touched by the credit crisis; in France likewise the number of»unemployed has sur- passed one million. From the blows of.the industrial, agrarian, credit crisis the doors of the “holy ‘of holes” of capitalism ‘of ‘the largest world exchanges are shutting. ‘The looks, the hopes, the dreams of the ideologists of capitalism are directed backward into the past. Instead of the further progress of technique—more and more the inscriptions upon the banners of the bour- géoisie are: “Down with the machines,” “Down with the high technique!” The ideologists of capitalism cannot bear to look forwa:d, cannot bear to dream of the future. This future does not promise them any hope. The tomorrow of history belongs to the proletariat which already today is successfully building:socialism: upon ‘one-sixth of the globe. This, our: construction, the. world bourgeoisie and its social-fascist agency have nicknamed senseless dream, fantasy. Yes, we are dreamers! Ten, twelve years ago Lenin dreamt of the Volhovstroy, of Volhov electric station with a power of 80,000 kilowatts This was a “dream” of a peculiar kind—a proletarian dream, a dream of action. To dream like a bolshevik—means to create for the cause of the proletariat. And we are creating it: in the current 14th year of the Proletarian Revolution we are starting new stations with a power of approximately one and one-half million kilowats—20 Volhovstroys in one year, From calculation in tens of thousands of kilowatts we hae passed to hundreds: of thousands and are passing to millions. We are dreaming already of the Angarstroy, of the Ural-Kuzlb as electric line bearing mil- lions of kilowatts. And this “dream” is being transformed into reality. ‘Twelve years ago Lenin spoke of a Bolshevik dream of 100,000 tractors. “This dream has already become a reality, The Stalingrad, Karkov, Lenin- grad (the Red Putilovetz) tractor plants which are already built by us, will produce every year over 100,000 tractors. Lenin dreamt: “If we could give tomorrow 100,000 first-class tractors, furnish them with gasoline, furnish them with machinists (you know perfectly well that as yet this is a fantasy) then the middle peasant would say: ‘I am for the Communist, that is, I am for Communism!’” And this dream we have realized. The overwhelming majority of the peasantry has already voted by action for the Commune, for collectives. Sixty per cent of all of the poor and middle economies have already en- tered the collectives. The collective peasantry has already become the contral figure of agriculture. cialist construction. MORE JAPANESE TROOPS SHIPPED TO NORTH BORDER (CONTINUED FROM “PAGE ONE) troops are already being shipped to an “unknown destination” and then adds that this is of “significance” in connection with the preparations for the attack on the Chinese Eastern Railway, which means the attack on the Soviet Union. The Universal Service reports this in the following: “Japanese regiments stationed at Changchun, northern terminus of the Japanese occupation zone in South Manchurian, this morning, suddenly were ordered moved to an unknown destination. “The maneuver is regarded of significance in view of advices from Nanking stating that Russia has given first official intimation of the anxiety with which she is watching the Manchurian situation.” ‘The capitalist press points out quite openly that the shipping of additional Japanese troops into Manchuria means’ @ definite step in the military attack on the Soviet Union. Brigadier General Henry J. Reilly of the Offi- cers Reserve Corps, writing for the New York American points out this out in the following: “Military experience in recent times, as well as throughont the ages, has shown that a situation such as exists in Manchoria al- ways proceeds from bad to worse.” He then adds that the “steady in- crease in the number of Japanese troops, can lead to Russia becoming involved.” ‘The further advance of the Jap- anes into Manchuria ‘has. been with the direct cooperation of the United States and with the approval of the French imperialists. These three im- Perialists are determined to force the redivision of China, as part of the general redivision of the colonies and to grab part of the colonial empire of Great Britain. ‘The agreement: between the Uni- ted States and Japan for the division of the-spoils in Ohina: has ended the previous Japan-British alliance. “Au- gur,” & New York Times corresondent from London reports that this alli- ance between Japan and Great Brit- ain “was given up in favor of a wider and more fruitful interna- tional cooperation.” The determination of France and the United States to reduce Great about the Kellogg pact did absolutely nothing in order to bring the pressure of French imperialism against the Japanese invasion, The capitalist press reports that “a strong section of the French press” was “pro-Japan- ene.” ‘The “impotence” of the League of Nations during the whole of the Man- churian crisis and the participation of a delegate of the United States in the conference is the clearest indi- cation of the realignment of the im- has | perialist groupings, having as its basis the tremendously weakened position Our “dreams” are being realized completely; but not by themselves, not automatically, but in a bitter struggle of the proletariat under the leadership of the Leninist Party, against the class enemies, against op- portunists of all hues and shades who are attempting to prevent so- Correspondence Briefs CATTLE HITS NEW LOW OMAHA, Neb.—The price. of hogs and cattle has hit a new unheard of tow here.

HAS PROOF THAT PETERSON IS INNOCENT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) girls, was permitted to smuggle a re~ volver into the prison and fire three shots into Peterson. He is held on the “identification” of his hat by Nel Williams, sister of one of the dead women and who was with them at the time of the shooting. She “iden- tified” him from a passing car, but later nayrowed down the “identifica~ tion” to a slit in his hat. In an attempt to cover up their part in the murderous attack on Pe- terson in the county jail, deputy sheriffs are spreading the rumor that the gun with which Dent Williams shot Peterson was passed to him by his sistér, Nel, who had brought it into the prison in her handbag. It is also rumored here that the sheriff admits he has the wrong man but has stated, “We got a ‘nigger’| anyway.” This determination to frame up a Negro—any Negro—in connection with the murder of the two society women has featured the case from the very beginning. Prior to Peterson’s arrest, scores of other Negro workers had been arrested. The authorities used the murder of the two society women as a pretext for a murderous terror against the Negro workers, and an attack on the Com~- munist Party. The homes of many Negro workers were searched for Communist literature. Militant Ne- gro and white workers were thrown into prison on all sorts of pretexts. Negro workers were shot down in the streets by Birmingham police in uni- form. Two men and a woman were murdered in this way. Governor’s “Investigation” a White- wash, Governor Miller’s so-called inter- vention in the case has only resulted in the whitewashing of the city and county officials who permitted Dent Williams to shoot down Peterson while the latter was held in the coun- ty jail. An indictment was rushed through against Peterson even while it was believed that he was dying of the wounds received from Dent Williams’ pistol. And now, in order to whip up lynch sentiment for the trial, Sheriff Hawkins has announced that the militia will guard the courthouse. So strong is the general belief in the innocence of Peterson that not the «| slightest demonstration has been made against him while he has been confined in the hospital where he is recovering from his wounds. The gesture of now calling out the militia is to give substance to the claim of the authorities that they have a case against him. Negro Reformists In Betrayal Move, The Negro reformists are playing their usual role of helping the white boss lynchers. A few weeks ago a Negro boss barber was dug up by the police to testify that Peterson had taken a shave in his shop and had expressed doubt that any of the Negroes then held under arrest was guilty of the crime. This simple fact is played up to make it appear that Peterson’s disbelief in the guilt of others was based on his knowledge of his own guilt. The Negro reformists had also contributed to the fund for the reward for the frame-up of a Negro worker in connection with the case. Rev. Goodgain, pastor of the Sixth Avenue Baptist Church South, is now attempting to prevent the Ne- gro workers from rallying to the de- fense of Peterson, assuring them that Peterson will get “justice” if the Negro workers do not permit the Reds to organize them. Goodgain has of- fered to contribute $1,000 out of the personal fortune he has built up by robbery of the Negro masses to build- ing the city viaduct, in order to show his confidence in the white boss lynchers.

The realignment has been prepared by the whole series of con- ference which have been going on be~ tween the diplomats of all the im- Pperialist powers. Since the economic crisis started there have been four- teen of these conferences among the imperialist statesmen, In Le Journal de Geneve William Martin has revealed that behind all of the diplomatic bickering which went on at Geneva the leading im- perlalists secretly favored the Jap- anese invasion of Manchuria. He writes further that “Japan has had on her side all the diplomats resid- ing in Tokio and perhaps some in China. Japan has received encour- agement and promises from them.” ‘These agreements were not only for the division of China but were part of the struggle for the redistribution of the British colonial empire. This was indicated by the bitter antagon- ism of the British delegates alone in the League to the extension of Jap- anese influence in Manchuria.
