On the | part of the Soviet Union for 16 years | there have been no obstacles to nor- mal relations. The ‘Soviet Union es- | tablished such relations with most | prominent countries in the capitalist | world, which, after a long struggle, | had to recognize the US.S.R.” “Pravda” especially refers to the | mon-aggression treaties defining the aggressor, and names __ especially France, Poland, Turkey, Italy, with whom such treaties have been made. It emphasizes the whole foreign pol- icy of the Soviet Union centers around peace, for which normal re- jlations are quite necessary for the settlement of disputed questions, and Action Kalinin’s message to this ef- rect. The Soviet press analyzes the rea- sons for the change in policy in America. “Prayda” tells of the opin- ions of American observers here in recent years who saw American busi- pee hurt by lack of relations, It de- clares: “Economic connections between two countries were sacrificed to the wish- es of a handful of capitalists who stubbornly refused to consider the change during the last years in the situation in the United States, which is attacked by a severe crisis, and the situation in the U.S.S.R., which has been strengthened continually into the biggest economic political factor, If Roosevelt's note means giv- ing up the former policy in relations with the greatest country in Europe and Asia, then it witnesses that leading circles of the American bour- seoisie are finally convinced by the experience in the last 16 years of the necessity to change their line of con- duct. The situation has changed, and sober consideration makes them change, too. They have to consider that the Soviet Union .{s a country which occupies a big place in the in- ternational arena, and cannot ignore this fact without injuring them- selves.” “Izvestia” says: “American public opinion now knows not only of many tremendous achievements here al- Pready in the sphere of internal con- struction, but America also knows | that the Soviet Union meets its 16th anniversary with great achievements in the sphere of foreign politics. Dur- | ing 16 years the Soviet Union coolly | and patiently overcame all obstacles | and achieved quite normal, stable re- TERIA 18TH ST., WORKERS’ CENTER: , ations with its neighbors and with most of the important countries.” Tzvestia and other papers point. to the Soviet Union’s non-interference | senting 500 workers. Emil Nygard, first Communist mayor in the United States, was greeted with an outburst of cheers when he appeared to address the workers. Gold Warns Against N.R.A. Opening the conference, Ben Gold, | the general secretary of the Needle | Trades Workers Industrial by the N.R.A. propaganda. He point- ed to the wage cuts to which the cloakmakers are now already sub- jected. The other speakers, including Rap- paport of the Knit Goods Depart- ment, and Potash, secretary of the | New York organization of the Needle |'Trades Workers Industrial Union, and others, stressed the bankruptcy of the N.R.A. as an instrument to improve the “conditions of the workers. The buying power of the workers in the affairs of other countries, and emarks that there is no friction | wherever others do the same. | The newspaper “Za Industrial- izatsiu,” which is the organ of the] | Commissariat of Heavy Industry, | analyzes further the internal factors in America, where “President Roose- elt, a prominent bourgeois states- man, understood he cannot build a| real policy by denying history,” and points to the evolution of American | opinion towards the Soviet Union. Despite the slander carhpaign by | heads of the American Federation of | Labor, many big unions resolved for | relations with the Soviet Union, } The farmers also understand that | ecognition profits them, The ad- vanced intelligentsia has had a friendly attitude for a long time, Liberal politicians of the type of Bullit, Robbins and House, formerly close to Wilson, now close to Roose- velt, big capitalists with a wide hori- zon, must understand the reasons for the decline in recent years of Soviet-American trade. They un-| derstand they cannot ignore such a big political and economic factor as the Soviet Union in the midst of their present alarming situation without self-injury, and must see that “trade without de jure recog- nition of the government of the U. S. 8. R., which is the only rightful purchaser and salesman of a nation occupying one-sixth of the world, with 165,000,000 people, would be | trade without recognition of the most elementary logic of foreign trade.” Za Industrializatsiu repeats the Russian-American Commerce Cham- ber resolution favoring recognition, referring to Litvinov's offer at the London Conference to place orders of $1,000,000,000 in capitalist countries, | The same paper says: “We must say | that the present condition of Ameri- can-Soviet trade is insignificant when | compared with the potentialities, and could not be otherwise, Roosevelt's message witnesses that the ruling circles in the United States incline to put an end to the abnormaliti that prevented development of Soviet- American trade, Soviet economic circles can only arect pt and hope ' that the term ‘Amerisdn scale’ will finally apply to trade with the U. 8.8. R.” A paper called “Economic Life” | says: “The powerful highly organ- ized modern American industry pos- sesses exclusively favorable prerequi- sites to meet the demands of our country which is fulfilling an un- heard-of progress in Socialist indus- trialization.” Pravda says: “The very fact that | this mission is put on Peoples’ Com- | missar of Foreign Affairs, Litvinov, indicates that the Soviet Government completely understands the {mpor= tance of the forthcoming negotiations and quite consciously treats this act as one of extraordinary significance.” Union, | warned the workers not to be misled | has not been raised, the showed. At the same time production has sunk to a still lower level again, especially in the needle trades. The workers’ attention was called to the A. F. of L. bureaucrats, who, in conjunction with the N.R.A., use all possible slander in order to stifle Plan Actions A number of measures were adopt- ed to be taken in the immediate fu- ture: the struggle for the 30-hour week, the demand for unemployment insurance and more adequate relief, the creation of united front commit- tees in the shop to uphold union con- ditions and a declaration by the conference clarifying the serious need of a united front. The conference elected a commit- tee of 18, representing all depart- ments. They will appear before the N.R.A. bureau at Washington to pro- test, against the strike-breaking tac- ties of many N.R.A. officials and de- mand the right of the workers to belong to the union of their own choosing. ‘These 18 workers will subsequently serve as the executive committee of the conference, and will carry out its decisions, Another conference will be | called in January, when the progress of the work will be reported and fur- ther struggles to improve conditions will be taken up. NRA Heads Refuse to Act on Shooting (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) said in an open hearing before the National Labor Board: “I think we'll settle the dyers strike in camera (be- hind closed doors).” 7 And that is just what the N. R. A. proposes to do, not only with respect to the dyers, but with respect to all of the 65,000 striking textile workers, The militant N. T. W. U. leaders, excluded from secret conferences yes- terday while Panken trotted from one confab to another, finally were heard in the open. It was learned | today, however, that after this pro- ceedure, there was another secret get-together in the office of General Johnson. This conference was devoted to at- tempts by Johnson, Chairman Wag- ner of the National Labor Board, Sidney Hillman of the Labor Ad- visory Board, and Deputy Whiteside to obtain the promise of struck-mill manufacturers, who also were pre- sent, to agree to a $27-a-week aver- age wage for weavers IF an average wage of $22-a-week is paid by manu- facturers whose workers have not struck, The proposal in itself was booed and laughed at in the open hearing, workers mumbling throughout the vast, magnificent government hall, not yet struck.” local unions in Paterson that the slaughter of their leaders would not drive them back to work. Never- theless the N. R. A. Administrator left this matter of the terror out of the discussion, The manufacturers declined to agree even to the $27-a- week average for striking weavers. To this Johnson responded, the _ Eagle o PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 22, — Constable I. M.

R, A.” and that “this Board will make a ruling without them at the next conference Tuesday noon if they are not represented by a dele- gation with full authority to settle the strike for them.” The Shoe and Leather Workers’ delegation, which remained in Wash- ington to attend to important mat- ters in connection with the hearings, was led by Fred Biedenkapp, national seoretary; Isadore Rosenberg, general organizer of the slipper department, and Louis Boudin, counsel. In the absence of Wagner at the beginning of Friday's hearing, Wil- liam Green, head of the American Federation of Labor bureaucracy, presided, despite the fact that the rank and file of the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union (A. F. of 1.) have repudiated their officialdom and joined with the SLWLv. ‘ Observer it militant Present No member of the Shoe Manufac- turers’ Board of Trade was present at yesterday’s conference though the National Labor Board had sent the manufacturers an explicit invitation. Their lawyer, Meton Eisenberg, how- ever, did appear as an “observer,” the status given him by an official N. R. A. statement issued after the hearing. Thus the manufacturers participated in the hearings by proxy but without responsibility. Bisenberg, the articulate “observer,” informed the Board that his clients could not convene a committee to appear at the conference, On Thurs- day afternoon, he said, they wired the Labor Board that they could not attend the next day’s hearings. The | National Labor Board, continued | Eisenberg, answered that this ar- rangement was not acceptable. “So, out of courtesy to the Labor Board the manufacturers sent me, but with- out power to present or act on pro- posals.” Eisenberg then presented his clients’ arguments to the Board: “The reason why the manufacturers are not anxious to meet with repre- sentatives of the Shoe and Leather Workers’ Industrial Union is that this organization has been restrained by the Supreme Court with injunc- tions. Under no conditions will they recognize this organization. There are no economic issues involved. What this union is interested in is Com- munism and the overthrow of the American government.” Boudin replied, exposing “observer” Eisenberg’s demagogic maneuver: “Our delegation is here primarily at the invitation of the National Labor Board. Time and again we have been invited by the local N. R. A. Board to present the situation of the shoe workers. In all these confer- ences we were promised that the manufecturers would confer with us. Thus far, however, they have defied the order of the local board.” Turning to Wagner, Biedenkapp asked: “Suppose we postpone this conference and the manufacturers absent themselves again?” Wagner replied: “This court will-make a rul- ing without them.” Delegate Rosenberg read a telegram sent him by the rank and file of the Boot and Shoe Workers which con- demned the Boot and Shoe (A. F. of L.) officials for interfering with the strike led by the S. L. W. I. U. In the course of the hearings the 8S. L. W. I. U. delegation stressed the point that they desire the matter of jurisdiction setiled “right here in Washington.” They maintained that the Boot and Shoe union officialdom has nothing to do with the New York strike, that the Boot and Shoe mem- bership refused to accept their offi- cial leadership, that the signings of agreements between the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union and the manu- facturers through the local N. R. A. is nothing else but a conspiracy on the part of these elements to break the strike and to force the workers back to work through fear of star- vation. $$ Daily Worker corespondent was in- formed today in official quarters, by sending Leo Wolman and Sidney Hillman, members of the Labor Ad- visory Board, to hold more secret conferences in New York over the week end, with the same Counsel Panken and with Frank Schweitzer, the oleagenous United Textile (A. F. of L.) bureaucrat who had sat mutely stroking his heed while. his own membership told the National Labor Board that recognition of unions, loomage and definite yard- age-payments figuring in any wage proposals must be guaranteed before they go back to their pics, DISMISS DISORDERLY CHARGE LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 22.—Mass pressure forced Judge Burgevein to dismiss the disorderly charge against I, Waxman, white worker, for his Fourth of July speech in defense of class war prisoners, must have possession of your premises without fail, . . .

Implicated as I am in these intrigues, it is plain the time has come for someone to take a firm hand. Certainly both of you know by this time of Michael Gold's challenge. To help put across the Daily Worker drive for $40,000 he created an arbitrary distinction between poetry |and spinach, flinging the gaunt-@ et into Dr. Luttinger’s face with a challenge to socialist competition. “Let’s see who can collect more of this desperately needed money,” he wrote, “and if the Sporting Editor wants to come in on this, I'll challenge him too.” Unimaginatively, the Doctor took up the gauntlet and named his sec- onds.

Nygard ad- dressed the demonstration, Other speakers were Moe Brown, Philip | D'Agostino, N-T.W.U. picket captain | of the dyers; Sam Strong, state sec- retary of the I.L.D., and Ann Burlak, who had just returned from Washington, reported that the set- tlement terms which the Associated officials had brought back to Pater- son were a fake and gave the work- ers nothing. Full page advertisements in the Paterson press on Saturday and Sun- day announced the opening of all dye houses on Monday. Mayor (sic!) Hinchliffe, in a sirike-breaking state- ment which is blazoned in big head- lines, promised “adequa‘e police pro- tection” to the employers and called upon the dye workers to return to work, The U.T.W., which claims it has been holding shop meetings all week for a vote by shops on the} thrice-rejected settlement, has not yet been able to announce any re- sults of this secret balloting. It is known that the disrupting U.T.W. officials have not been able to get a majority of the members of their own dye local to attend these shop meetings, and that only small numbers have been attending the general at Turn Hall dur- ing the past week. This is due not only to the insolent denial of the de~ mand for unity of the A. F, of L. membership, but also to the strong- arm methods now used by the offi- cials at all meetings. Uniformed po- lice inspect membership books at the doors, uniformed police are in the hall and on the platform, and a squad of detectives in the hall have been forcibly ejecting and beating A. F. of L. members who attempt to speak or to object to anything said by Ru- binstein or any other official, The attempt of the employers to re-open the dye plants on Monday under a heavy guard of police and gun thugs indicates that they have lost confidence in the ability of the U.T.W. officials to get the strikers back to work. In statements on Sat- urday, Keller and other officials pleaded with the employers to wait for the results of the shop balloting, which they indicate will be “favorable.” The strikers, meanwhile having de- feated all efforts to betray them or to break their ranks, will have mass picket lines around the mills of Pat- erson and vicinity on Monday. Thirteen strikers were wounded by gunfire and removed to hospitals in Friday’s assault of police on the picket line. One of them, John Bar- tolozzi, is dying, He was shot through the lungs. Two of the other strikers are dangerously wounded. Eleven pickets, in addition to the wounded, were arrested.
