Y., Oct. 8— Striking against the starvation NIRA wages of $3.20, the 1,800 leather workers of Gloversville and Johnstown have organized their own union, the Independent Leather Workers Union of Fulton County, and are demanding $4.20 a day minimum wage, with 20 per cent increase for skilled workers, and recognition of the union. Shop committees have been organized. The strikers packed five halls and are enthusiastically determined to stay out until all their demands are won, The A. F. L. union was re- jected by the workers. Measures are being taken to spread the strike. The glove industry will soon be effected, since this industry depends on the tanneries. The strik- ers are carrying on mass picket lines. Fifty Knitgoods Shops Win Demands NEW YORK.—After four weeks of a hard fight against the bosses, the knit goods workers department. of the Needle Trades Workers In- dustrial Union has already signed contracts with 50 employers, The settlement involves about 1,800 workers. There are still 2,000 workers on strike. The ,Workers gained a 35 hour week, With no reduction in pay. The bosses were also forced to grant substantial wage increases and recognition of the shop com- mittees. The International Ladies Gar- ment Workers Union and the Uni- ted Textile Workers tried to send their members to scab on the strik- ing workers of the Industrial Un- ion. The workers did not follow the dictates of their corrupt offi- cialdom and refused to scab. A mass meeting of Knit Goods workers is called for tomorrow 8 p. m. at Ridegwood Hall, Brooklyn.

Workers Rejected United Textile Sell-Out of P7,tne, Stam of protest of the rank | Dyers, Engineered by Keller, Which Placed Strikers at Mercy of the Employers 4 i By CARL REEVE PATERSON, N. J.—Nowhere in the United States is the strikebreaking tole of the Lovestone group, acting ypenily and frankly as a leading part of the rotten and corrupt A. F. of L. yureaucracy, exposed so brazenly as ia the Paterson silk and dye strikes. Were.-Eli Keller, organizer of the Thited Textile Union, a renegade ex- i Pe from the National Textile Workers Union for his betrayals of ae workers interests, has persistently locked attempts of the rank and file | @ the A. F-. of L. to secure the one fing that would assure victory for fe strike on a national scale—unity f the strikers regardless of their inion in one united national strike »mmittee. Bi Keller is put forward by the} ited Textile Union in Paterson in il statements as “co-organizer and Mleader, together with Frank | shweitzer, secretary of the Associ- ed Silk Workers (affiliated with fe UT.W.).” Keller was .inter- aves three times by the writer in “4€ course of the past three months. ‘ath time Keller stated that neither ‘+ nor his union will agree to any tited front with the National Tex- ® Workers’ Union. “We will not ive.a united front outside of the Rerican Federation of Labor Union,” filer told the writer. When asked he would make any statement ex- ing the sell out record of Thos. acMahon, national president of the )T. W., which is familiar to every worker, Keller said: “That is a matter which concerns those the organization. I will make | Statement criticizing either Mac- {hon or Schweitzer.” A Keller Blocks Unity __ Bli Keller, whom the last issue of > Workers’ Age, organ of the Love- _ group, characterizes as the militant of the silk strike, at opportunity attacks the Na- 7 Textile Workers’ Union, but to make any criticism of Mac- or Schweitzer, MacMahon’s ) Struggle, Keller has followed ont the | | policy of the U. T. W. and Mac-| Mahon. | Keller has not once, but many | times, rejected the demand of the| rank and file, both in the U. T. W. and in the N. T. W. U. and inde- pendent unions, for a solid united front. Keller personally rejected the demand of the rank and file that the Associated Silk (U.T.W.) join the United Strike Committee, which has | affiliated to it the entire district | Strike committees of Easton and Al- lentown districts, the dye strikers of | | Paterson, local unions of the U, T. W.| |in the Stroudsburg and anthracite |sections, and a number of independent unions, as well as rank and file dele- gates from the Paterson silk strikers, Keller rejected even the proposal of the United Strike Committee that the Associated Silk Union send a speaker to the joint united front demonstrations in Paterson, and re- | jected also the, proposal for a united front between the dye strikers, led by the N. T. W. U. and the silk strikers of Paterson. Keller has at every step strengthened the manufac- turers by keeping the workers divided. Keller Aided “5 Weeks Truce” Keller has not only protected Mac- Mahon and Schweitzer, but has been the main figure in carrying out their sell out policy. One of the main at- tempts at sell out was the “five weks’ truce” agreed to by the U.T.W. leaders in Washington, The dele- gates of the U. T, W. in Washington were MacMahon, Francis Gorman, vice-president of the union, and Schweitzer. The Labor Advisory Board of the N. R. A. extracted from these delegates the promise that they would agree to end the strike on the basis of what agreement could be reached, before they entered the con- ference. These leaders readily agreed. ingly voted down this sell out, Kel- ler remained silent and protected Schweitzer. Schweitzer then tried to deny his agreement to end the strike. Senator Wagner then issued the following statement, on the hearing of the N. L. B,, of which he is chair- man, which made the sell out agree- ment: “The chairman requested both sides to name committees for a dis- cussion of wages. Selections were made by the manufacturers and the representatives of a majority of the striking employes. Representatives of a minority (N.T.W.U.—Ed.) refused the proposed conditions for the call- ing off of the strike. Representatives of the majority of the employes (U.T.W.—Ed.) and of the manufac- turers therefore entered into confer- ence resulting in the above agree- ment to recommend calling off the strike and re-opening the mills.” ... Wagner further stated: “An agree- ment was reached at 2:30 this morn- ing between the representatives of the silk manufacturers and a committee of the United Textile Workers’ Union (Schweitzer, Gorman, MacMahon —Ed.) and some independent unions. «+. The ies furthermore agreed to go back to their people and recom- mend that the strike be terminated.” After being booed off the platform of one strikers’ meet Schweitzer executed a right about face and is- sued a weak denial that he had agreed to the sell out. “The workers must decide for themselves, and I be- lieve they will in a day or two,” he said. Keller agreed to these secret sell out conferences in Washington and continued to act in harmony with Schweitzer as leader of the Associa~ ted Silk, throughout protecting Mac- Mahon and Schweitzer in these sell out activities, The part Keller played in this sell out attempt becomes more clear when we read the following in the Paterson News of Sept. 16: “The National Strike Committee of the broad silk division of the U. T. W. of A. will vote to recommend to local strike committees acceptance of the truce terms agreed upon in the Wash- A complete séll out of the strikers’ demands followed, an “average” mini- mum wage of $22, based on piece work rates that meant not $22, but ington conference between manufac~ turers and the labor delegation of the U. T. W., Thomas MacMahon, pres!- dent of the U. T. W. stated to the itive in Paterson, At every the present national silk less than $20 to most strikers. Schweitzer in Paterson was engulfed News today.” It was only after Mac- 4 national strike committee and the rank and file unanimously rejected the sell out, that Schweitzer and Keller executed their right about face. Workers Age Supresses Facts Tt is significant that the article in the Workers Age, the Lovestone sheet, does not mention a single word about the dye stfike. The Workers Age supresses entirely the fact that there are 15,000 dye workers on strike in Paterson and Passaic, je reason is clear. The dye strike was called and led by the National Textile Workers Union, and the strikebreak- ing role of Keller is most clear in the dye strike. Keller at the begin- ning of the silk strike carried on the strike as a “holiday” and advocated mo mass picketing. He entered into a United Front with the employers in their competition with the Rayon manufacturers to secure the same silk and rayon codes. He did not call Be ate Wane ee Ate wine The National Textile Workers Union had already called several thousand dye workers on strike, was conducting mass picket lines, and had forced Keller, through rank and file demand, to allow mass picket- ing in the silk strike. On the same day that the NT'WU called a general strike in the dye industry, Keller who until then had definitely stated he did not want the dye workers to strike, called a hurried mass meet~ ing and the U. T. W. also issued a general strike call. But the strike was becoming too effective and too militant to suit Keller. So the general strike call of the AFL to the dyers, issued person- ally by Keller, called fof a “pacific” strike, and definitely instructed the dye workers not to picket but to stay home. The Paterson News stated that Keller's strike call “defies classifica- tion.” The day after the mass picket lines of the NTWU called on strike the 4,000 employes of the Lodi plant of the United Piece Dye Works, Keller, seeing that he could not re- strain the workers any longer, is- sued the following statement (Pater- son News, Sept. 12): “A decided change in the strike policy of the A. F. L. union (dyers) announced this morning through Keller, co-organizer of the As- + Mahon was repudiated by even his| siciated Silk Workers (U. FT. w.,! m, which is acting in an advisory capacity to the dyers union. The passive program announced last Saturday has been abandoned by the leadership and from today onward, the strike policy will be more militant. This change in policy is another step in the A. F. L. drive to assume lead- ership in the dyers strike now held by the National Textile Workers Union.” In spite of the opposition of Keller, the rank and file silk workers and dyers in the U. T. W. have achieved unity on the picket lines and marched side by side with the N. T. W. U. mass picketers in direct violation of the instruction of their leaders. In spite of the role of Keller, covering up MacMahon’s and Schweitzer’s and his own betrayals and sell outs with “left phrases,” the rank and file of the U. T. W. in Paterson has so far rejected every sell out proposed by the U. T. W. leadership, Keller’s Secret Conference Outs Expose Lovestonite Cogs in NIR A-A. F, of L. Machine Keller Is Leader of Union in Paterson Which Agreed to Treasonable “Five Weeks Truce” and Indorsed NIRA’s $13 Silk Code The rank and file dye workers of the A. F. L. rejected this agreement, engineered by Keller and his lieu- tenants behind their backs. Keller then said this yellow dog agreement was a “mistake.” Keller has at all stages of the strike, seen to it that the A, F. L, workers carry N. R. A. signs in their parade and pictures of President ‘Roosevelt, He has worked with Schweitzer as a brother while Schweitzer has issued one statement after another praising the “new deal” and the N. R. A. and Roosevelt. Keller has brought Jack Rubinstein, another renegade ex- pelled from the N. T. W. U., into the strike as an organizer for the sole approached many mem- bers of the N, T. W.

There is no monstrosity, no cruelty, no barbarism of which they are not guilty. “From this standpoint this inter- cepted letter does not surprise me at all, It is only one more bit of evidence added to the mass of evidence about the Nazis which has shocked the con- science of mankind, “That the Nazis are working in America is horrifying and should awaken us all to the menace of Hit- lerism which threatens us.

It is hard to conceive that in this. great metropolis letters are being sent to Germany with a. suggestion to ‘give the damned communists in Lipzig an injection of syphilis.’ The last shreds of the colossal Leip- zig frame-up are torn away by the Nazis’ own confession. W, Haag, ad- jutant of the national leader in this country, author of the letter, writes to Berlin, that he has no ‘place for ‘Van der Lubbe here.’ He advises that he be thrown ‘overboard into the ocean while en route to another coun- try.’ “People with such hideous plans taken from their dope-fiend leader, Premier Goering of Prussia, are giv- en asylum on our shores, while labor- ing men and women, who are organ~- ing unions, are deported to fascist countries where their fate is sealed, “Has not the time arrived when every enemy of fascist terror should demand the expulsion of this group from our shores?
