Fish and Easley Spread Nazi Propaganda in U.S. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Hitler Terror” that attempts were made to counteract not only the “Brown Book” but the collapse of the Reichstag arson frame-up in the eyes of the entire world. A Nazi by the name of Dr. Adolph | Ehrt was instructed to concoct the book for foreign consumption. The close contact between Easley, Fish, Woll and the Nazis in Germany is convincingly shown by the last para- graph of Easley’s letter, which says: “The General League of German Anti-Communist organizations, through its Chairman, Dr. Adolf Ehrt, the author of the book, has made it available for distribution In the United States in connection with our fight against Commu- nism.” Censcious of the hatred of the Nazis on the part of millions of Jews and others who fight against the pogrom methods of Hitler, the Execu- tive Council of the “American Sec- tion of International Committee to Combat the World Menace of Com- munism” print a foreword in which they say that: “This book is not a defense of anti-Semitism, nor is it a defense of tk» principles and methods of the | filer government.” But the book itself shows that thern is no credence to be placed in the protestations of its sponsors. Here, at random, are a few ex- cerpts: Pays 20—‘It is worth noting that the agitatio nfor a rising in Hamburg im 1923 was conducted under the game slogan of “anti-fascism” as in 1932 and 1933. Russian Jews were again the leading persons concerned §n the preparation of the rising.” Page 31—“The teachers and lead- ers of Communism in Germany also eate direct from the school of the old Russian Jewish revolution. The spirit of an invisible ghetto impreg- mated from the start the German Communist Party and also the spirit of mental reservation which appar- ently was the justification for this double game, for lying, treachery and for the idea that everything was al- Jowable.” Page 178—“The total contrast to Jewish-Marxist Bolshevism is exclu- sively represented by German Na- tional Socialism.” Page 179—“The destruction of the Communist Internationale is a task for-the nations of the whole of the Ch and civilized world.” The German sponsors of this Nazi excreta are not without a sardonic sense of humor, for they write in a preface: “The present work serves the purposes of nothing but the search for the truth; it avoids generali- zations and exaggerations. The idea was to provide a pamphlet for the masses of the population writ- ten in an impartial and scientific spirit which will serve as the un- shakeable foundation for the judg- of history. ‘bis pamphlet does not deal with the special matters connected with the burning of the Reichstag in order not to prejudice the case.” On Oct. 7 the Daily Worker pub- lished_a secret letter from Hitler’s New. York agents of the “Friends of New Germany” to their superi- ors in Berlin. In this official letter W. Haag, adjutant to Heinz Span- knoebel, chief Hitler agent in the United States, admitted that Mari- nus van der Lubbe, the Reichstag e defendant, is a tool of the Na- he urged his German colleagues ‘to inoculate the Communist defend- ants with syphilis; he arranged for the, importation of a Nazi woman y to be put in Amtorg, the Soviet trade agency in the U.

It should be noted that all of these organizations are active prop~ agandists for big army, navy and air force increases. They lead the drive for the militarization of the youth, in the schools and colleges, and are in the vanguard of the most vicious enemies of the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union. Composed substantially of the same outfit which runs the scab, anti-labor National Civie Federa- tion, these men, headed by Easley, have constituted themselves the of- ficial American section of Hitler's international fascist propaganda or- ganization.

Here is a challenging book. It should be read by every thoughtful citizen because it presents the history of the life and death struggle Germany has heen waging against Communism. It reveals that the subversive methods and the destructive objectives of the Communists in Germany are the same as are employed in the United States by those enemies of civilized nations. This book is not a defense of anti-Semitisni nor is it a defense of the principles or measures of the Hitler Government. The bitter opposition of many to some phases of the Nazi domestic program should not blind us to the reality of the Communistic threats, The value of this German exposé as an object lesson to other countries has led our committee to place it in the hands of leaders of public opinion throughout the United States. ‘The lessons to be gathered from this book, “Communism in Germany,” should lead our citizens to demand more effective measures of defense for our system of government, and our moral and social standards, ‘ \ Warter C.

As a result of this mass pressure, the local boss press published a full account of the delegation’s interview with the gov- ernor, quoting in detail the militant speech of William Patterson, na- tional secretary of the International Labor Defense and Communist can- didate for alderman in the 19th As- sembly district, Harlem, New York City. M Governor,” declares the re- port in the Baltimore Sun, “had nothing at all to say when William L. Patterson, Negro national secretary of the International Labor Defense, bent toward the governor and in- toned: “‘We condemn you as also being an accomplice in this murder, “Your party,’ he told the gover- nor, ‘acquiesced in the sending of battleships to Cuba, ostensibly to pro- tect American lives, but you failed to make a move in behalf of a citizen of your State.’ “Residents of the Eastern Shore,’ he said, ‘are bragging that nothing took place after that (Matthew Will- jams) lynching (two years ago) and nothing will take place after this one.’ “Patterson demanded that not only Judge Duer and State Attorney Robins but also Sheriff Daugherty be removed from office and, in addition, demanded that all three ‘be tried as accomplices.’ It was then he said: “We ccndemn you (the governor) Crow’ laws and traditions made| “Patterson is a Communist.” you.

He took issue lat once with Dr. Trigg, telling the governor he could not “agree that !anyene onposed to lynching can win janything by coming into your office and saying his parents had served people of your kind.” Ades, like Patterson, argued that lynching was a natural and inevitable conseque wism.” That ferm of he con- tended, is so strong on the Eastern hove that sending Armwood back to Princess Anne was “like inviting them to lynch him.” Next, he charged the State admin- istration with responsibility for the fact that no prosecution followsd the Salisbury lynching two years ago. | Ades said Attorney General Lane, who investigated the lynching, had the names of the mob leaders—Ades here mentioned some of the names— but Mr. Lane, he said, spent his time investigating the activities of the International Labor Defense, instead of concentrating on the lynch leaders. Ades demended to be told why Judge Duer has not “spoken out” and given the names of men he recog- nized in the mob around the Princess Anne jail. Henry Williams, Negro worker and an organizer of the Communist | Party, spoke next, challenging Rit- chie’s refusal to pardon Euel Lee, despite the overwhelming proof of his innocence and the flagrant vio- lation of his constitutional rights by | the lynch courts before which he was tried. Governor Ritchie said he believed Lee guilty.

BALLAM New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is- land, etc. Between forty to forty-fiye thousand silk workers and fifteen thousand workers in the silk dyeing industry are on strike. I believe it is necessary to examine how this | strike came about. It was proposed to include rayon dyeing and weaving in the cotton | code, and to apply the cotton code! to the silk industry in America, with its minimum of $12 and $13 a week. | | The silk workers immediately took up this challenge, They closed down } the mills, declaring a general strike. This strike was aimed at the NRA, | as well as the employers. These silk workers at one time constituted the highest paid section of the textile industry. Now they had imposed | on them the wage levels of the low- est paid section of textile industry in this code. They are also striking against an accumulation of griev- | ances, against speed up and wage guts. During four years of crisis they suffered hunger, want and humilia- tion. They found themselves thrown upon the streets. The manufactur- | ers forced them to accept one wage | cut after another. This is true of | every industry. How are the small manufacturers | affected by the NRA and the codes} proposed by the NRA? This industry employs 120,000 workers, making} rayon and silk goods. | Most of the silk manufacturers operate with very small capital. I intend to sh re.

Why do things tha uu can’t prove. confine yourself to the quest: haps we can get on be Ballam: I intend to continue my analysis of the set-up in this Now as to the question of who is leading this strike. We have many unions in the silk textile industry. The Associated Silk Workers Union affiliated h the United Textile | Workers, A. F. of L., are at present leading a majority of the broadsilk | strikers in Paterson. The dye strike | of 15,000 are led by the National| Textile Workers Union. | In the city of Allentown, the silk workers are orzanized in the A’>»~ town Silk Workers Union. This is an independent union and includes | in its membership the majority of | the silk workers in that city and leads | the entire strike in Allentown of over | 6,000 workers. | Judge Panken: I represent the cu workers in Allentown. | A Voice: I represent quite a num-| ber of silk workers in Easton. Ballam: Judge Panken claims to | manufacturers. ; unrebuked. Of what value to us are present some of the workers in Ale , lentown. We defy successful ‘con- tradiction of the fact that the Al- n Silk Workers Union is the rike there and repre- 1al Textile Work: ke of 4,000 silk workers. ‘The s unfons of Emaus, Pa., are not affiliated to the A. F, of L. The Loomfixers Club, the Twisters Club of Paterson, are affiliated together with nine other independent unions and the N.T.W.U, in the United Na- 1 tional Silk Strike Committee. This ommittee leads the majority of the silk strikers. (Interruption by the | nufacturers and A.

We protest that in this strike the entatives of the United States tment of Labor and NRA off- , local and Federal, have five~ ly interpreted section 7 of the NRA in the interests of the bosses | agents. Section 7 says that the workers have the right to belong + to a union of their own choice. But Mr. Moffit of the U. S. Department + of Labor, came to Paterson and re- * fused to deal with the N.T.W.U., mak- ing slanderous statements about us. Although we protested to you, Sena. tor Wagner, to President Roosevelt, to General Johnson, these acts went > the words of this act (NRA), when every deed belies them? ® Senator Wagner: I am not particu- larly interested in that. Whatever ” mistake some one else made at some * other time will not help us now. Ballam: I say that these strike- breaking acts against the strikers has something to do with settlement of this strike which we are also inter- ested in. The representatives of the government are quoted in the press as saying that our strike is treason- able. For instance, we read in an A-P. dispatch to the Paterson News at. you, Senator Wagner, will use “direct action” to settle the strike. We workers have a right to entertain a@ slight suspicion of your intentions, Mr. Wagner. . Manufacturers’ group: Stop him. Stop him. Sit down. Senator Wagner: I must interrupt you. I never saw the paper you re- ferred to, Ballam: The Associated Press quoted you. Most everybody in this room saw it. I know that what I say is not complimentary to you, Senator Wagner. But I say that it is important. It is of extreme im- portance to place before this body, not cniy the important facts of the strike, but the methods of the Labor ory Board. In whose interest © settlement to be made? Of how much importance this question is, Senator Wagner, let us take the example of McMahon and the U/T.W. in Washington. On September: 11, 12 and 13, there were hea on the silk code, All textile unions sent their delegates to Washington. ty-two of these delegates repre- the independent unions and N.T.W.U. The delegates of the A. F. of L. were asked to go to the s rs and tell them to go back to x on a “five-weeks’ truce.” The National Textile Workers Union and independent unions’ 32 delegates re- fused to accept this condition and were excluded from the conferences. The American Federation of Labor McMahon and Schweitzer urged ‘the strikers to accept these sell-out pro- posals. The A. F. of L. and all other st-tkers unanimously turned this pro- pe-al down. These thirty-two dele- gates represented more truly © the sentiments and the beprsaerrr od the strikers than did Mr. Mc! and Mr. Schweitzer of the United Textile Workers Union, Senator Wagner, you will see that it is of the utmost importance that all unions’ and all strikers be taken into con- sideration when it comes to a settle- ment. We have proposed one settle- mi committee and one strike com-| mittee and a united front of all strik- ers. We demand $20 per week for the 1 ¢ paid workers in the industry. craft will present their own) 1 s cn this floor. Only upon the basis of the strike demands and] upon the right cf these strikers to) belong to the union of their choice} nd fair dealing with those unions] can this strike be finally settled. We demand to know why these differeatials between North and South exist in all the codes. There is no difference in the cost of living be- tween the North and the South, There is however, a vast difference between tho standard @f living of the workers of the North and the South. These NRA codes are designed perpetuate this difference in the standard of living of the South workers. This is a crime against. th Southern workers. It is our duty to smash this differential and raise the standard living of the South to! the highest levels of the North. This! can only be done by calling a gen- eral textile strike in all Southern Tex- tile Mills for higher wages all along the line down South. The so-called American standard of living is mean- ingless while the Southern textile workers and the Negro masses are compelled to live on corn pone and sow-belly and Negroes are denied al! civil rights. The N.T.W.U. pledges itself tc throw all its forces into the South to develop and lead a general textile hae below the Mason and Dixorm ine,
