At the time of the strike we heard nothing else but have faith in your leadership. So we had faith and what did we get in return—a sellout. They told us we are striking for 35 hours —$26 the least for operators. What did we get after being out three weeks? —37}2 hours and 15 per cent. No adjusting of the prices in piece work. In some places work- ers were earning $7 a week, and now they are making $5 a week with a union book costing $6.85. Workers are being thrown out of the shops. Nothing is being done. I would like to ask the chief racket- eers, Mr. Shorr or Mr. Snyder, why they promised them. How Complainis Are Heard is just heartbreaking to see workers coming to the office of Lo- cal 62 with their complaints. Mr. Shorr or Mr. Snyder keep the work- ers waiting for hours outside of their office. After waiting for four or five hours the workers are called in. They wait in another room for three or four hours. Then the racketeers come cut, write down the complaint on a slip of paper, saying they will attend to it. But I would like to know what year they will attend to the com- plaints of the workers. The union was on the rocks, they needed money to enjoy themselves, and also the gangsters needed jobs, and had to be paid on the backs of the workers. They fooled the work- ers by calling out thousands of ex- ploited and starving workers just to rob them of a few dollars and three weeks of striking, when the strike was settled even before the workers went out on strike. Workers, form your shop commit- tees, price committees, rank and file, and take over the leadership and force the fakers to live up to the agreement. 1 6 Letters from Readers | PRAISE GARLIN’S EXPOSE OF | NAZI; SUGGEST PAMPHLET Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 31, 1933, Editor of the Daily Worker: Dear Comrade: The expose of the agents of Hitter and his Nazis in the United States, printed recently in the Daily Worker, should not be lost in the thick of the fight of the class struggle.

In addition to these articles, the fascist tendencies of the | officialdom of the American Fed- eration of Labor in their strikebreak- ing policies and their support of the | N.R.A. would help to establish in the minds of the American workers, who | are beginning to feel the stint of |the N.R.A., that the officials of the A.

They pay per dozen for work as follows:-4 cents for looping, 4% cents for boarding, 5 cents for mending, 14%. cents.for pairing, 1714 cents for knitting—33 cents total cost. So you see, that it costs them only 33 cents a dozen. Three were discharged last week in the mill, where I work, 11 from the Marion Knitting Mill, and so on. We don’t have any company store where I work. Even if they did, I wouldn't trade at it, for it is just a place to rob the people that work in the mill.

The Drive on the whole continues to lag, the latest chart showing that only 42.6 per cent-of the total $40,000 has been raised, that is not even one- half. ¥ Scheduled to end on Nov. 7, the slowness of the Drive forces it to be continued. The $40,900 must be raised. Each District, by waking up to the emergehey’ that faces our Daily Worker, can do as well as Boston and even surpass it within the next two weeks. The Districts, however, will have to work hard, as Boston is going right ahead to double and even triple ifs original quota. Study the chart carefully. Dont allow your District to lag. Hold affairs, contribute .yourself. Mass or- ganizations, trade unions, readers and friends of the Daily Worker are urged to boost their Districts into the lead. Tcor Branch Active Tcor Branch of the Cooperative Colony of New York raised $34 for the Daily Worker, but the Icor or- ganization as a Whole has not done so well so far. ‘The International Workers Order has not yet responded to the second challenge by’ the Jewish Workers Clubs. Individual members and branches of the 1 W. O, are urged to get in touch with their National Executive Committee and find out why" the Committee fails to respond to this revolutionary challenge. The Jewish Workers Clubs sent in a total of $49 in the last half week. So far they have, however, raised in the aggregate only 43.16 per cent of their quota. The I. W. O. is still slower, having raised only 18.05 per cent, New York District lags, with a showing of ofly 39.4 per cent. With the exception of Boston, Seattle, De- troit, none of the Districts or organi- zations have raised even half of their quotas. Comrades, to save the Daily Worker you must get into spedier action.

L. “DAILY NEWS” LIES AGAIN By a Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—For several weeks we, the workers of Ryker Beach, have been forced to go without (vouchers) pay until the middle of the week, after having returned back to work. After this condition had become un- bearable we had to stop work and ask for our pay. Then the capitalist press, the “Daily News,” tried to fool the public saying we wanted money because it was a Jewish holiday. But since then groups of workers have been picked out and fired while others are threatened daily. But this j ‘ime it is no Jewish holiday, so the “News” is deaf, blind and dumb, STRONG BARGE LINE PICKET (By a Worker Correspondent) AIRO, Ill—The Barge Line offi- cially tried to put men to work to- day, but the strikers had too strong a picket line so they failed.

The workers, who were out for five weeks, were forced to return to work without any settlement. The plant was shut down the whole summer, for the straw hat factories do not work more than six months yearly during the last few years. The workers of the shop were called to- gether by the boss at the beginning of September. He had signed up with the N.R.A. through the bosses’ asso- ciation. “The shop will work 40 hours, in- | stead of 44,” said Mr. Korber, “You will get a 10 per cent increase in wages.” The workers were willing to accept the proposition, as the union agreement expires anyhow in No- vember, They notified Miss Teitel- baum, who did not like the idea, and made them go on strike. “We can get more through the N.R.A.,” argued Miss Teitelbaum. During the strike negotiation with ready to give a 15 per cent raise. One day the workers found out that the strike was settled by Miss Teitel- baum without any gains. Not even getting the 15 per cent which was offered to them by the boss. The sudden calling off of the strike made a deep impression on the work- ers. They found out that the A. F. of L. officials used them to organize other dues paying members by pull- ing down other shops during the strike and weren't even interested in making the conditions of the already organized shops any better. Leather Boss Openly Breaks Pact He Signed By a Worker Correspondent’ SALEM, Mass.—The John Flynn & Sons Leather Co. of this city is only one thore proof that no matter how decent an employer may seem to be, even his signed agreement is not worth the paper it is written on. Although this firm signed an agree- ment with the National Leather | Workers Union last April during the general strike here, the company has continually refused to allow stew- ards to collect dues in the shop though the agreement says they can. During the strike they operated with scabs. The agreement outlawed these scabs, but gradually the firm has fired the union men for any reason they could think of and re- Placed them with dependable scabs, using the change of types on ma- chinery in some cases as an excuse, ané in others simply saying that the work wes not satisfactory.

LUSTIG + (District Organizer, Steel and Metal Workers’ Industrial Union) am H Kapa task of building the revolutionary unions and revolutionary oppositions in the American Federation of Labor, of acqueinting the workers wit. the role of the N, R. A. and the government, of ummasking the role of the A. F. of L. leadership, the social fascists and the renegades as a whole— ~soanat cee: i] The situation is now so bad that the union members in the shop have .. | to keep that fact under cover. Show- ing their union book is enough tc cause discharge. This is only one case of the leath- er bosses’ atiemp! in this district tc break up the union before the pres- ent agreement expires in January. The union (the National Leathe: Workers Union) by the virtue of thei agreements, has no control over th bosses, and the workers in great numbers, learning this fact, have re- fused to pay dues and even belong to the union. There is great danger of the union falling completely apart before January, because of the miserable betrayal of the workers by the union officials, The workers in the union must stay in the union, otherwise they are playing into the hands of the bosses. Form a real militant rank and file group within the union, force the double-crossing officials out, keep the unicn in the control of the workers, and reorganize the union on a class struggle basis. This will strengthen the union and pre- pare for a bitter unrelenting struggle in January. Urges Rank and File Moves to Fight for LeatherWorkersRelief By a Worker C it PEABODY, Mass.—During the gen- cval leather strike in March and April, the A. ©. Lawrence Leather Co. lived up te its traditions. The factories were overrun with stool- pigeons, squealers and strikebreakers, and any of these having a grudge against their fellow-workers could easily have them discharged by whis- pering “Red” in the bosses’ ear. This company has installed the most vi- cious speed-up system, grinding out more production during 1932 than during the war years. Several hundred workers left their machines and benches at the general strike call in March, Many returned so | to work after the company officials brought pressure to bear on their 36 | families, but the majority stayed out, and all other factories had settled the strike. Over the telephone the A. C. Law- rence management promised to re- turn these workers to their jobs if all of which are necessary for the carrying on of successful struggles—this can be carried out only if we have a strong Party core inside the revolu- tionary trade unions. All the tasks can be carried out only if we have @ leading fraction in the union that. acts inside the trade union as a po- litical body and gives political guid- ance to all of the workers of the trade union. At the present time we still have very bad division between the comrades engaged in so-called, inside Party work and those engaged in trade union work. In practice we still have a situation where the ma- jority of our Party comrades en- gaged in trade union work are too busy “building” the union, and there- fore have no time to build the Party. On the other hand, comrades who are engaged in inside Party work, Meaning especially the Section and Unit cadres, up till the present time have not orientated the 3 to- wards participating in the uggles of the workers taking place in their respective territories and are en- gaged in “building the Party,” with- | out building the trade unions. Tt is time for all comrades to know that the revolutionary trade unions cannot be built without building the Party at the same time, and, on the othcr hand, the Party cannot be built unless the Party participates in building the revolutionary trade unions. Up to the present time the com- rades try to solve this question by blaming one another. Party com- rades in the trade unions blame the comrades outside the trade unions, and vice versa. It is quite plain that this is not the solution to the preblem. If the following method would be pursued we would come nearer to the solution of this ques- tion: It is beyond doubt that our trade union leaders are in touch with thousands of non-Party.workers. Our trade union leaders are the ones who, under the leadership of the Party, are preparing the workers for strug- gle from time to time, Whenever such preparation takes place, the trade union comrades must be the initiators in calling, through the Dis- trict Committee of the Party, a meet- ing of the Section leadership, at which meeting all the details of the coming struggle will be discussed by the Section leadership, which ‘wif then be enabled to participate in the preparations and carrying out of the) strike struggie and act as a political | leader of the workers in these struge | gles,, The Section Committee will ba! in a position to take this questio,)? down to the units and mobilige th) units'to act as the political leader), of ‘th workers. In this way the Party will be in a position to oriene | tate itself towards leading the worke in the economic struggles, with their day-to-day demands and ther | will also be in a position to develop thesé siruggies to a higher plane. hod of work will not only he “Chinese wall” that exe between the comrades in trade union work and the comrades engaged in Party work, but also will radically change the unit, life of .our Party. The units up till ndéw, just beoause they were divorced from the jeconontic struggles of the workers, | carried on all their activities such as | spreading the Daily Worker, Hlee- | tion” Campaigns, Recruiting Cam- | paigns and all other campaigns di- vorced and isolated from the work« lers. They considered the Election Campaign, the distribution of the Daily Worker, etc., as tasks by them= selves; and this is the reason why, in spite of the hard work that our Par- ty comrades are doing, they are not getting the necessary results. 4 If our units will be linked up with the“economic struggles of the work~ erg of their respective. territories, it wil be an easy task to spread the Daily Worker, to collect funds _ for the Daily Worker, to collect funds for. victims of German Fascism, or any other campaign of the Party that will be launched in the future.

Daily Worker is rendering incalcula- bly valuable service by the health ad- vice it puts at the disposal of its readers. If the working class as a whole could peer over our shoulder and read the never -ending avalanche of piti- ful and pathetic stories which are continually poured out in the letters we receive; if the crimes, cruelties, bunglings, neglects and indifference meted out to workers by medical and other quacks could be visualized by the readers of the Daily Worker, we have no doubt that we should be flooded with contributions to keep up the work we are doing. But as it is impossible to print the letters, and as we are adverse to advertising our work. the imagination of our readers has failed to be stirred and we are confronted with a peculiar situation. On one hand we receive letter after letter praising the Health Column and continually demanding relief; on the other, the money contributions to the “Daily” have been so meagre that we have to ask ourselves wheth- er the compliments we receive are real or merely rhetroical figures of speech, We are 342 letters behind in our answers. We need a sggretary to take care of the stenographic work and we need, at least, double the space now allotted to us, in order to reply to queries within a decent period. We cannot get either of the above requirements if our readers remain indifferent. If only a fraction of the number of letters are attended to in this coiumn or privately and the replies are from four to six weeks late, our advice becomes a mockery instead of a living service. ‘Therefore, it you wish a better, big- ger and more efficient column, say it with your contributions, care of this department. In the present sit- uation, a dollar speaks louder than 103 compliments.
