ITHOUT placing too much hope in the fruitfulness of Dickstein’s congressional quiz, the Daily Worker can say that it was its expose of the Nazis in its Sat- urday’s issue which was the immediate cause for the move being made by Dickstein. a. is noteworthy that while the capitalist. press gave lavish space to Dickstein’s announcement, great Care was taken to SUPPRESS the contents of the Daily Worker expose which showed that the Nazis were plotting to hang someone else in the place of Marinus Van der Lubbe, half-witted Nazi tool in the Reichstag frame-up case and were considering suggestions to in- fect Torgler and the other Communists on trial with *syphilis germs, Neither the N. Y. Times nor the rest of the press , Published the following excerpt from the Nazi letter, for example: “T cannot find a place for Van der Lubbe here; ‘it is best if you throw him overboard into the Ocean while en route to another country. Whom do you ‘intend to hang in his place in Germany? I agree with you entirely that it would be good to give the damned Communists in Leipzig an injection of syphilis.

The courage~ ‘ots militancy of the strikers on the mass picket line being quenched and directed into futile channels the brazen hetrayals of the American Federation ‘These organizers have gained x a of the , With the sole purpose of strang- out the main Ford plant, The militant action of the rank and file was car- ried on in direct violation of the instructions of the A. F. of L. organizers. These organizers, led by Hugh Reilly, New Jersey state organizer of the A. F. of L. from the start gave instructions against mass picket ng and openly declared they had made an agreement with the police that only 100 Ford employes would picket. ‘These tools of the company refused the offer of the Unemployed Councils of solidarity, informing the police to run the unemployed off the picket line. The A. F. of L. organizers brought in Congress- ministers and the state head of the N.R.A, to courage the strikers, and urge them back to work. They refused to allow the election of a rank and file strike committee, accompanying this suppression of the rank and file with talk against the Communist mel Party. They carried on all of this strikebreaking ac- tivity under the slogan of not “giving the strike a bad name.” Meanwhile 600 to 700 strikebreakers have crept inside the plant. The betrayal of Reilly is most crass in the sup- pression of the march to Detroit. Because of rank and file demand, Reilly agreed to the march, collected money and food for it. He postponed the march from one day to the next for a full week, and then called it off. But it is not yet too late. Militant rank and file action under the leadership of the newly formed rank and file committee of action will save the strike. In the present situation especially, the militafit Auto Workers Union, if brought forward, will guard against further A. F. of L. treachery. The demands of the rank and file committee of action are: 1) Spread the strike at once, Send a rank and file delegation to Detroit. 2) Election of a broad rank and file strike committee to conduct the strike. 3) Continued mass picketing in violation of Reilly’s orders. These demands will win the strike. 5th Ave Sweatshops HREE THOUSAND custom tailors are on strike for the last six weeks. The strike has paralyzed the entire trade. the “aristocrats” of the men’s clothing industry, work- ing for the rich Fifth Avenue’ custom-made houses, are the most exploited section of the entire industry. | Home work is widespread. Piece work and miserably low prices prevail. Workers who make suits which are sold for $100 and $125. earn on the average during the year between $8 and $12 per week. The Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union, which is the only one conducting organizational work among the custom tailors for the last year, has called the present strike. The workers are very militant. They knew that their demands are of vital importance to them, and, having stopped the biggest Fifth Avenue houses, they had all chances for a speedy, victorious conclusion to their strike, Then the N.R.A. administration stepped in. Be- cause the strike is being led by the left wing Indus- trial Union, Grover Whalen has seen to it that the entire capitalist press shall try to kill it by silence and that the bosses shall not enter into negotiations with the union. The union is in possession of a circular letter sent out, on the advice of the N.R.A. administration, by the employers’ organization, the Merchant Tailors Society of New York, informing the members not to settle the strike with the Industrial Union. Besides Grover Whalen’s N.R.A. administration, the bosses have found another ally, the Amalgamated ma- chine, which is attempting to recruit scabs to supply workers to the striking’ shops. Despite Hillman’s re- peated declarations that he is keeping his hands off the strike, his henchmen are doing everything in their power to help the bosses break the splendid solidarity of the custom tailors. ee oe ee Y et strikers staged several demonstrations on Fifth Avenue to prdtest against the strike-breaking ac- tivities of the N.R.A, and the Amalgamated machine. The strikers are determined to fight it out and not to be driven back to their old sweat shop conditions. But they need support from all workers and particu- larly from the needle trades’ workers. Their strike now has taken on the character of a bitter struggle against the N.R.A. administration, on which the bosses place their main hopes, and against the Amalgamated racketeering machine. All workers should show their solidarity by support- ing the strike of the 3,000 custom tailors, A mighty protest against the strike-breaking ac- tivities of the N.R.A. and financial aid will help win this strike. For the Interests of the Entire Class She necessary concentration of our work on the most important factories does not, of course, in any way mean that we snould allow our work among the unemployed to slacken. “In carrying out this main task, we should not for an instant lose sight of the fact that we represent the interests of the entire class, and that, especially under the present. conditions, the unemployed cons- titute a factor of greatest revolutionary importance. “One of the chief tasks of the Party is the or- ganizing and mobilizing of the millions of unemployed for immediate relief and unemployment insurance and the linking up of their struggles with the struggles of the workers in the big factories—full-time, as well as part-time workers—especially now, in view of the in- troduction of militarized forced labor for the unem- ployed and the increased attempts to bring them un- der reformist, and fascist influence, “But the Party cannot carry out this task suc- | cessfully unless at the same time it establishes its base in the decisive big factories. “Hunger marches and other activities of the un- employed must be accompanied by sympathetic actions on the part of the workers in the factories, while the actions of the workers in the factories must receive the most active support from the unemployed.” (From the Open Letter.) ~ 300 Far Farmers Stop Foreclosure Sale in Two Hour Fight Led by United Farmers League, Resist Attacks of Sheriffs, Legion Peas to the Daily Worker) P RD, Wis.

Vicious Dtive on Communists The government is tarrying on & vicious campaign against the Com- munists, blaming them for shooting at soldiers from roof-tops. This cam- paign has had some effect among the soldiers and marines who are being utilized for strugglé against the work- ers. However, in the past few days a certain reaction has been noted. Last night a leading member of the Communist Party was arrested and later released because marines in the barracks demanded it, stating that they had nothing against Commu- nists, éte. A marine lieutenant, who was ad- vanced from the ranks recently, spoke for a long time explaining to the comrade’ arrested why the Communists should do more work among the soldiers and marines and giving his opinion that the reason these did not as yet follow the C. P. is bécause they did not fully understand its aims. In the - main, however, the problem of win- ning the soldiers and sailors is still among the most urgent and gravest before the Cuban revolutionary movement. ‘Tom Mann will ‘will make his» last: public appearance on ‘his’ present’ visit to this conntry try. at a’ mass meeting in St. Nicholas Arena, this.

Cuban Worker Tells of Fascist Attacks, by Police, Students General Strike Ties Up! ” Camaguey As Pro- test Action (By a Cuban Worker Correspondent) CAMAGUEY, Cuba, Oct. 10—The United Front of all the workers in this city has sent telegramns of pro- test to the Cuban government de- manding the immediate freedom of all ‘the workers, in prison and pro- testing against ihe massacre of Sept. 29, when Havana workers were Killed by the army and the fascist bands of the Bjercito Caribe (Carib Army). ‘The Régional Federation of Labor, with the support of the revolutionary Organizations and of the Cuban Na- tional Confederation of Labor, de-| clared a general strike in protest against the attacks by the govern- ment on the Red unions and the Cu- ban Communist Party; Yesterday a group of “yellow” workers, in combination with mem- bers of the fascist organizations, B. C., and the Student Directorate, with guns and clubs in their hands, assaulted some tobacco factories here. Then they went to the Work- ers’ Center, broke in the doors, seized the red flag and the Hammer and Sickle and burnt them in the City Park. All this reveals the fascist char- acter of the new government, which, like the others, has the support of Yankee imperialism, which, in com- bination with the national bour- geoisie, tries to break the revolu- tionary movement of the Cuban B masses.
