The left-wing opposition pointed out to the membership at the begin- ning of the strike that $11.20 is not the main issue; conditions on the jobs, the control of hiring and firing, abolition of speed-up, must be the main demands along with the $11.20 demand. The left-wing further pointed out that the “politicians” in the District Council and also in the strike com- mittee have artificially split the ranks to weaken the organization for the benefit of the employers. The left-wing opposition warned give full means to give up all rights in the organization and means to establis! a dictator in the District Council, which will dissolve the District Coun- cil, and take away all rights from the membership and act in agreement with the employers against the mem- | bership.

STRIKES SPREAD IN GERMANY The spreading of strikes against the attempt of the German employers |to reduce wages as provided for by the recent Von Papen emergency decree, was admitted Saturday by Hugo Schaeffer, Minister of Labor, according to capitalist press reports, The Minister said that by cutting down wages the bosses were fulfilling their “peace obligations” under the Wage agreements and “warned” the workers that by striking against the wage-cuts they would violate their part of the “peace obligations” and endanger their position of their trade unions. Under the fatherly “warn- ing” there is a treath to disband the workers’ revolutionary unions and red opositions which lead the strikes against wage cuts. The first attempts by the bosses to cut wages resulted in a whole series of strikes following upon a series of protest stoppages serving notice on Day Demonstration _ | For the RED PRESS in MADISON SQUARE GARDEN — DAILY WORKER MORNING FREIHEIT YOUNG WORKER Bazaar thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday Largest selection of merchandise ever concentrated in- one place LIVELY PROLETARIAN PROGRAM AND \ DANCING EVERY NIGHT TUUC CALS FOR DELEGATES TO | PRESS MEETING Urges All Union Group Be’ Presénted October 7 ‘ « & A call to every inion, league and opposition group to send delegates to the press meeting for the Daily Worker, to be held Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. at Irving “Plaza, has. been issued by the “TYade.Uiion- Unity Council of Greater’ New York.
