C., Oct. 10.— Senator’ Wagner, Chairman of the National Labor Board, the chief strike | settler” of the administration and one of the princes of the Roosevelt- | |N. R. A. dynasty, today called for| further wage slashes and a Cessation | of strikes in a loudly applauded ad- | dress before this afternoon's session of the sthug A. F. of L, bureaucracy. In the teeth of his own admission | made to the delegates that real wages | have actually fallen because of rising | | prices, the Tammany Senator opined | | that relief for the unemployed “will} demand a continuation of the heroic | sélf-sacrifices which workers of very | moderate means have been making fatring the past four years.” This wage slashing is ected] as one of the steps “necessary to ef- fectuate the primary objectives of the | recovery program.” The New York Senator supported | the affluent A. F. of L. delegates in | their strikebreaking program in the coal fields of the nation, He did not stop with complimenting Green “for their work in contributing tre- mendously to the work of the re- covery administration.” He gave specific instructions. | “Those who tend to destroy the | opportunities for fruitful industrial | relations by quick and fanciful re- | sorts to strikes and other forms of sel.” Green, who introduced Wagner as the author of the N.R.A., as “a great humanitarian, the author of the greatest piece of legislation ever put upon the statute books of the nation,” led the applause and announced that the Senator “must leave us” as he is “rushing back to take up his work for us this afternoon.” Tailors’ Picket Line Attacked; 12 Jailed NEW YORK—A picket line of striking custom tailors employed in the Fifth Ave. shops was attacked yesterday. The mass picket line was parading along 44th St. and Fifth Ave., when dispersed. Twelve strik- ers were arrested. The strike is led by the Custom Tailors’ Department of the Needle Trades Workers’ Industrial Union. Grover Whalen, local N. R. A. chief, and Sidney Hillman, member of the National Labor Board and president of the Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers’ Union, are 00-operating with the bosses to break the strike of 3,000 workers. Wages in this industry, which is making clothes for the aristocracy which buys in the Fifth Ave. shops, is miserably low. ‘The union reports that funds are needed to conduct the strike. Con- tributions should be sent to the union’s headquarters at 131 W. 26th Scottsboro “Attorney to Come to Nygard Banquet by Plane NEW YORK—Word was received by the Communist Election Campaign Committee yesterday that Joseph Brodsky, famous .attorney for the Scottsboro Boys, will come by plane from Chicago where he will be hand- ling an ILD case, on October 18th | er. to reach the “Vote Communist” ban- quet in New Star Casino heer on that day, in time.

Death of Dainoff Mourned by Union NEW YORK.—Members of the Architectural, Ornamental, Iron and Bronze Workers’ Union, Local 52, mourn the loss of one of their fellow members, brother Jacob Dainoft, who died on Saturday, Sept. 30. With the death of brother Dainoff, the union has lost one of its most active and courageous fighters for the cause of the workers. Brother Dainoff was one of the builders and leaders of the union who always stood in the forefront of all the struggles the union has conducted. Brother Dainoff was a victim of the miserable conditions the iron and bronze workers are forced to live under. In commemorating the death of brother Dainoff, the iron and bronze workers therefore pledge themselves to build up a strong militant union and continue the struggle for which brother Dainoff offered += ~ ‘ New Nazi Letter Shows Spy.

From the Washington Bureau of the Daily Worker WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—Henri Barbusse caled upon Americans to- | day to “open their eyes” to the “tragic import” of the secret Nazi document just published by the Daily Worker, and to reject the suggestion that “it would be ‘child’s play’ to draw Am- erica in on the side of Hitler.” The famous French author and war veteran paused to comment on the expose before beginning an anti-war address in a theatre near the White House. He said: “The publication by the Daily Worker of the Nazi secret document is a revelation of the most tragic import. But we—who come from Europe—we are not really sutprised at the sinister disclosures which the document gives us concerning the maneuvers of the Nazis, concerning the spying and the systematic poi- soning of public opinion in Amer- ica and other foreign countries. We know the mean and shameful pro- cedure of the agents of a Sovern- ment which is subjugating and as- sassinating the German people aft- er having deceived them. “What the agents of Hitler in America say with Tespect to the Reichstag case throws a terrible light on what is behind the trial. Everything in the document con- firms the ‘Brown Book’ disclosures. and justifies the whole campaign which is being ¢arried on to save the innocent victims of the Leipzig trial and other victims of Hitlerite persecution against Jews and the whole working class. “It is imperative that Americans should open their éyes and reject the Nazis’ contention that it would be ‘child’s play’ to draw America in on the side of Hitler.” Tom Mann, Leaving for London, Speaks Here at Sunday Mass Meet NEW YORK—His stay in the United States limited by the U. 8.

NEW YORK.—Speaking in the name of 60 to 70 per cent of 65,000 striking silk and dye workers affiliated to the United National Strike Committee, | John J. Ballam, despite constant heckling and interruptions and. frequent turmoil, placed before the National Labor Advisory Board, the position of “6 the silk strikers in the hearing this Building, Senator Wagner. The interruptions came from. the manufacturers and from some officials of the American Federation of Labor present, and Ballam’s speech was punctuated at several points by the applause of the were hundred strik- ers present. “The strike will not be settled on the basis of the N.R.A. $12 and $13 a week minimum wage cotton code,” Ballam told the hearing. ‘The strike cannot be settled unless a uniform, minimum wage of $20 for the lower paid workers is effected nationally.” “The various crafts present will pre- sent their own minimum demands at the hearing,” Ballam said. “The strike cannot be settled on the basis of separating the rayon from the silk workers, or separating \the north from thé south,” Ballam said. “The settlement must be a uni- form settlement on a national scale. The National Textile Workers’ Union pledges itself to send organizers into the South until these standards‘ of sow-belly are wiped out in the South and the workets in the industry have the Same uniform wage.” Ballam sharply criticized Senator Wagner's statement widely quoted in the press, especially in New Jersey that Wagner was coming to New York to end the strike by “direct action.” Senator Wagner interrupted at this point to say that he had not sent the statement and denied it. Attacks Truce. Ballam sharply attacked the five weeks’ truce engineered by Wagner in Washington in the middle of Sep- tember and pointed out that the 32 delegates of the United National Strike Committee at that time had represented, all of the workers, since the workers even of the U.T.W. voted down the truce. Ballam pointed to Schweitzer, who was sitting in the room and stated that Schweitzer and the U.T.W. officials had agreed to call off the strike on the basis of the cotton code and nothing else and that Schweitzer’s own union mem- bers had rejected the truce. He sharply attacked the N. R. A. code, which the government is try- ing to force the workers to accept. He stated that the strike was caused by “an accumulation of grievances which brought hunger, want and degrada-~ tion to the textile workers of the country. Wage cut upof wage cut; the textile wor*ers were forced into Room 654, presided over by @ afternoon at the New York State unemployment and forced to accept charity. The government did not in- terfere in this strike at all or move for adjustment had not‘ the strike of the workers brought pressure on the Government and the employers for an adjustment. Now the govern- ment, the N.R.A. bodies are trying to ithpose on the highest-paid section of the textile industry, the silk, the lowest possible standard of the cot+ ton code.” Ballam in his fiery speech deliv- ered in a packed room with workers choking the hallways outside and constantly fighting against interrup- tions of Senator Wagner as well as the manufacturers, pointed out that the strike in the textile industry is not the only strike at present. He went into the coal and. steel strike and showed that the same attempt of the N.R.A. to impose starvation conditions on the coal and steel in- dustry was being made as in textile. Ballam stated that the Govern- ment and its various bodies worries about the profits of the cotton and other textile manufacturers (he re- ferred here to the subsidies given to the cotton interests), but when —by del} human life is at stake, the govern- ment cares nothing. At this point Wagner interrupted again and told Ballam, “Be helpful, you are speak- | ing too critically, you are saying things you don’t know to be true.”| A worker from the audience shouted, “He is speaking fair.” Ballam was interrupted at another point when he attacked the state- ments of the Government represent+ ative, John Moffitt, as false. In Mof- fitt’s refusal to recognize the repre« sentatives of the strikers in Pater- son, Wagner again interrupted Bal+ lam at this point and tried to change the subject, Jacob Panken, of the Socialist Par- ty, represented the American Feder- ation of Labor. In his speech he continually demanded a smaller meeting, showing his fear of the workers. He said the meeting was ne big, there were too many people ere, Write to the Daily Worker about every event of interest to workers in your factory, neighborhood or city.

The girl’s name is Vera Ur- lich, One of the men arrested, Uyetti Oswaldo, is an organizer for the Trade Union Unity League. Previous to the demonstration be- fore the 44th St. shop, a committee of strikers went to see Wolfe, at the Hotel Pennsylvania, who is one of the chief adjutants in the N, R, A. ;campaign. He stated that “workers and employers should be condemned if they don't utilize the machinery for strike settlement.” Alexander Hoffman of the Custom ‘Tailors’ Union led the demonstration to the Hote) Pennsylvania. Wolfe then told him that they would have to wait, because the strike problem is being taken up in Washington. Hoft- man. asked: “Do you expect the 2,500 one tailors to starve, while wait- ing?” The N. R.
