Unemployment, which has been steadily growing for years because of the intense speeding-up of the American workers, is now becoming one of the major problems of the workers. This situation is aggra- vated by the fact that the bosses have already instituted and will in- tensify in the future, big wage-cut- » ting campaigns. In the face of this situation of sharp and growing crisis; severe unemployment; wage cuts; growing mass battles of the workers resist- ing the attacks on their standard of living; the rapid war preparations; the growing fascistization of the capitalist state in preparation for the class battles; we find that the misleadership of the American Fed- eration of Labor at every turn, works hand in hand with Hoover, Mellon and Lamont in propping up the badly toppling economy of U. S. imperialism. ~Green again takes occasion to pledge his faith to the scab bosses who head the “fascist council” that Hoover organized to handle the present crisis. Says Green: “The —president’s —_ conferences have given industrial leaders a new sense of their responsibilities in a great. business program confronting the nation, “Never before have they been called upon to act together in pre- serving business stability. In earl- ier recessions they have acted indi- vidually... This Winter they have seen their own problems as part of the larger problems facing the coun- try as a whole.” Instead of the bosses conducting their wage-cutting campaigns indi- vidually, which Green thinks a waste of time, the bosses in this crisis have organized under the leadership of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, and through fascist methods with the help of the A. F. of L, will under- take the slashing wage-cut drives and general attacks on the working class, in .a systematic manner. The entire capitalist press recog- nizes the usefulness of the services of Mr. Green and his A, F. of L. machinery. They blazon his seabby words across the front of their papers in bold type, together with the lying pronouncements of his masters, Hoover, Mellon and La- ‘mont. Not one fact is pointed out by capitalist economists predicting a quick revival of industry, The most they expect is by drastic wage cuts, intense speeding up he aa vigorous war preparations and & eid for world markets, crisis from becoming 2 severe than it is at is every class conscious be confronted with the of his militant fighting \ if ‘ lof these workers, has had himself reelected president of the union here. |’ an authoritative arbitration system.” Thus this action supposedly “on in order to throttle the developing strike movement of the workers with the arbitration system.

D,.P. in the question of the constiutional reform and declared that the S. D. P. had won a “defensive victory.” They had made a strategic retreat but they would advance to the at- tack again. He demanded from the govern- ment that it should disarm both the social democratic Republican De- fence League and the fascist Heim- wehr. The social democratic press publishes no report of the proceed- ings at the conference, but it is known that many of the officals opposed the party policy. CAR STRIKE MISLEADER IN AGAIN.

Already the rumblings of the ing, gigantic class battles can be heard. In the United States, the growing army of unemployed is becoming militant and will grow more so as the capitalist class itself in its wild- est statements offers no prospect of a let-up in the number of jobless. Strikes will be the order of the day. The Communist Party, U. S. A., at its last plenum pointed out the growing crisis of American imper- ialism and predicted its sharp na- ture. The Communist Party is al- ready at the head of the growing class battles; in which every agent of capitalism, the A. F. of L., the socialist party, the Musteites, is ar- rayed Against the workers. That there is growing radicalization of the masses is not even denied by Hoover, let alone Lovestone and Cannon, who go him a close second in his estimate of the crisis and its | tio) possibilities. Workers, fo-ward to the struggle! Employed and unemployed, stand Meanwhile, the American auto- mobile officials in Paris have held “then the American industry ought to urge action in regard to some commodity of equal importance to in a certain degree by the general slackening of industry and com- Arnaldo Cortesti, in a cable to the New York Times, writes about the “grave economic crisis,” in Italy, “which has exerted its depressing in- fluence on trade, business and gen- eral prosperity since the stabiliza- tion of the lire,” which he hopes the fascisti will be able to shake off | in 1930. There is severe unemploy- ment in Italy and the shaking off process is more of a hope of the fascists than a possibility. The U, S. Department of Com- merce reports a severe crisis in Australia. Latest reports say: “Important reductions have oc- eurred in the construction of new | residence and business buildings, but recent tariff increases have stimulated plans for factory build- ings. The coal strike remains un- settled in New South Wales and State authorities have opened one mine with voluntary labor (scabs). “No improvement is expected in January.” Argentina is undergoing a severe crisis that is straining the regime of Irygoyen. For the first time in many years, the gold exchange bank closed. The farmers especially are hard hit by the economic crisis. ANNIVERSARY OF RED RAIDS (Continued from.

Ghandi Tries to Hold Masses by Left Phrases Dispatches from Indic, where the National Indian Congress of native capitalists is in session at Lahore, state that the old faker, Mahatma Ghandi, has introduced a resolution declaring the congress policy to be a “policy of independence” for In- dia, This coming after Ghandi had agreed to the vague promise made y Lord Irwin of a “dominion status” sometime in centuries to come, shows the vast pressure on the Indian bourgeoisie by the revo- lutionary masses. Ghandi and the congress, which will undoubtedly adopt the resolu- tion, thus are trying by this “left” gesture to hold the masses in their own control and prevent any real fight for independence. This is shown very clearly in the fact that the congress has already passed a resolution by 117 to 69 votes, con- demning the recent alleged ““bomb- ing” of the train of Lord Irwin, British Viceroy, and congratulating this ruthless oppressor on his es- cape. Also, Ghandi’s resolution, |while stating a “policy” for inde- pendence, limits the struggle to and non-violence, though the masses may carry this boycott into physi- cal struggle in spite of Ghandi’s at- tempt to prevent.
