S. Senator H. Kean, Eli Keller and Frank Schweitzer of the United Textile union (A. F. of L.) and the} Chamber of Commerce and the silk manufacturers. Ballam headed a delegation, elected by the executive board of the N.T.W.U. “We will go to Washington to de- | mand one uniform code for textile workers north and south,” Ballam | said, “We know that the only way | the workers can get a satisfactory | code is by organizing and fighting for | it.” “In answer to the question of going back to work pending action from | Washington, we answer NO. We will| not send the workers back pending arrangement of code differences. We represent a majority of the national silk strikers, as well as the dye work | ers,” Ballam said. When Schweitzer was asked the same question he answered, “We will bring any proposal back to the work- ers for a vote,” and pressed to state what he would do, Schweitzer avoided any direct reply. When asked to send a delegation to Washington, Schweit- zer pleaded lack of funds and finally accepted the Paterson News publish- er’s offer to finance the U.T.W. dele- gation. “Keeping in mind that this is a code fight and not a strike demonstration?” Haines, the publisher asked. “Yes,” was Schweitzer’s reply. Ballam pointed out that the strik- ers represented by the N.T.W.U. would finance themselves and that the N.T.W.U. defends both the southern and northern workers and is not in- terested in aiding the silk employers in Paterson in their fight with the large rayon interests of the south. Ballam demanded that the city of Paterson pay for the trucks to trans- port the large N.T.W.U. delegation to the code hearing, and the mayor fi-! nally agreed, Eli Keller, the Love-; stoneite and Schweitzer stood up in honor of U. S. Senator Kean. The N.T.W.U. delegates remained seated. Torgler, Bulgarians. Proved Innocent (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) impossible for van der Lubbe to have set the fire unaided. Bergery emphasized the strange | fact that van der Lubbe’s three other | fires failed under very favorable cir- | cumstances, while the fire in the| stone Reichstag succeeded. Van der Lubbe Was Nazis’ Guest. Bergery stressed the prosecution | witnesses’ efforts to prove that not van der Lubbe but a man named van Bergen sojourned as a Nazi in Soernewitz, Saxony. On the 28th of February the “Voel- kische Beobachter,” Hitler’s official paper, stated that the Dutch pass- port found in van der Lubbe’s pocket | bore the name of Vandergen. This justifies the hypothesis that van Bergen or Vandergen was van der Lubbe’s name in Nazi circles. Bergery stated that itis the com- mission’s task not only to prove the innocence of the Communist defend- ants but to find the perpetrators of the crime. He added that there were increasing reasons to assume that the fire was set at the orders of the Nazi leaders, Testimony on Bulgarians’ Innocence, Kolaroff, a member of the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Commu- nist Party, testifying as a witness be- fore the commission, declared that Dimitroff worked in foreign coun- tries for Bulgarian amnesty solely and had connections for this purpose with the noted European authors, Romain Rolland, Karin Michaelis, Henri Barbusse and Martin Andersen- Nexo. Kolaroff added that Dimitroff never intervened in German or Austrian politics. The next witness, Blagoff, a former Macedonian deputy in the Bulgarian Parliament, confirms Kolaroff’s testi- mony, The last witness, Oboff, a former attache and later secretary of the Bulgarian legation in Paris, who was accused of complicity in the Sofia Cathedral explosion and condemned to death in his absence by the Bul- garian courts, declared that Popoff and Taneff were not among the de- fendants in the cathedral explosion trial. He added that Dimitroff was not in Bulgaria in 1925, at the time the explosion occurred, Dorfman Denied Right to Testify In Own Defense NEW YORK.—Isadore Dorfman, white youth who was brutally beaten by Tammany police while taking part in a protest demonstration on West 138th St. against the murder of James Matthews, Negro prisoner, on Welfare Island, was held for special sessions yesterday at a hearing in the East 12st St. court.

By aiet PITTSBURGH, Pa. Oct. 5—A mass meeting of 10,000 striking miners at Cheswick, Pa., in the Al- legheny Valley, called by Local 1 of the United Mine Workers Union today, decided unanimously to stay out4or a full victory. Some vacillat-| ing loca] leaders as Murray Renton, | a relative of Philip Murray, Inter-j| national Vice-President of the U. M. W. of A., was given a cold reception.

The mass picket demon- | stration’ will be directed against’ those mills still working in the an- thracite region. Delegates to the U.N.S.C. from all other sections reported the strike firm. Nathan Liss, of Pater- son, member of the delegation sent | to Rhode Island by the United Na- tional Strike Committee, reported that at the meeting of shop dele- gates of the United Textile Work- mills in Rhode Island, in spite of the utmost the leaders of the U.T.W. could do to keep the strik- ers at Work, the vote to strike the Rhode Island mills was defeated only by the close vote of 27 to 21. At a mass meeting of silk work- ers in Rhode Island, Francis Gor- Textile Union, stated that the strike in Paterson is over, telling this lie in a further attempt to stifle Rhode Island strike action. Complete United Front Following the U.N.S.C. meeting, 2,000 attended the mass meeting at Easton, where a complete united front, embracing both the National Textile Workers Union and the U.T.W. (A. F. of L.) exists, with one United Front Strike Commit- tee. The main speakers were Wal- the N.T.W.U., and Garry Kearns, president of the American Federa- tion of Silk Workers (A. F. of L.) and other members of the United National Strike Committee. The Easton Manufacturers have requested negotiations and a strik- ers’ committee, composed of work- ers of all unions, was to meet them today, but will not settle without the other striking silk centers.

It will plan the struggle for the | right ‘of the workers to strike, to picket: and to belong to a union of their own choice, ‘The call says in part: “Needle Trades Workers: “Do not depend on miracles and jon the sweet promises of the W.it.A. | and your union officials. It was only | through your brilliant struggles that | you forced the bosses to grant part} of your demands, and only through | organization and struggle will you} force them to maintain these con-| ditions.

From your own bitter experience you know that your, officials are not fighting against the bosses for your complaints and for your interests, “Do not commit again the serious | mistake of the past years when you depended upon your officials.

The lady didn’t rate more than that. But several recent developments do. On this desk is a letter sent out by the Columbia Alumni Association of Hudson County, N. J. After a rah-rah introduction citing the achievements of local boys in Colum- bia athletics, the letter states, “The greatest problem facing the admin- istration at the university this year will be ‘Radica] Demonstrations.’ The groundwork has been laid for what seems to many of us closely connected with the university as the greatest ‘show’ ever put on by these ‘certain few’ who are trying to put the student body in a condition of complete chaos... . “There is, however, a sane way of getting the mind of the worth- while majority of the students along proper channels, and that is ADE- QUATE INTERMURAL SPORTS CONTESTS. “The majority of the (freshman) class are boys who have been bred in good homes and who know the real meaning of loyalty, honesty and tradition.

No. A thousand times No!... “This money is badly ngeded and can be well used. High class super- visors with personalities like our pres- jent coaches to carry on this work, will do more to gain the confidence and respect of the sttidents for them- selves and the university than per- haps any other means that might be employed.” There you have an official state- ment of the function of college foot- ball—“a sane way of getting the mind of the worth-while majority of students along the proper channels” —a sane way of getting the minds of the students off unemployment, in- flation and Soviet Russia into the channels of racoon coats and grand- stand master-minding. “Fusioncers” is nothing veiled about that but on the front page of yesterday's New York Times there is an even bolder expression of class alignments in the world of sports: “Park Avenue will join with the prize ring tonight to form a combat organization to conduct canvasses and guard the polls for the Fusion ticket, it was announced yesterday at Fu- sion headquarters. “Under the title of ‘Fusioneers,’ a group composed of professional box’ exs, former college ath!stes and young men listed in the Social Register will meet tonight at headquarters to lady had been particularly meeting, Mush Weiner, the football 1captain emerged from the crowd and took the stand, saying, “Don’t mind those fellows, they have nothing to do with the team, they're just a bunch of jayvees, anyway.” The entire var- sity squad subsequently repudiated qi these few. Neither Major Holton nor his frus- trated strong-arm squad succeeded in silencing the radicals, 21 of whom were expelled and 10 suspended in June. If you're following their ac- tivities you know that the expul- sions haven’t silenced them either, This Saturday at 10 a.m, they are congregating in Washington Square to lead a parade and demonstration which will demand from City Hall their immediate reinstatement and the abolition of military training.
