Building contracts during July, supposed to be the best month of the year, showed a drop of 40 per cent below July, 1929. This is the fruit of the Hoover-Green policy of a “building boom” to solye the crisis. This industry is hit worst of all. Automobile production has reached the !owest levels in the recent his- tory of the industry. For the greater part of July the leading ants were completely shut. ugh some of them start on Au- gust 4, it wil) be with sharply re- duced forces, as overproduction is not beginning to be eliminated.

While workers went without sugar or paid exorbitant prices, the Amer- ican Sugar Company increased their dividends on preferred stock from 11.3 to 20.9 per cent. between 1914 and 1919, and its cash reserves grew from $19,000,000 to $40,493,000. From 1915 to 1917, the Meat Packers cleaned up $140,000,000, and Armour and Co., made really 75 per cent. profit in one year. While mil- lions of workers were fed moldy 12 per cent. in 1916 to 38 per cent. in 1917. Hoover An Old Hand. Bread was subjected to “govern- ment control,” and so was coal, but in one single year under this “con- trol” which was bossed by none other than President Hoover, the coal com- panies increased their profits from, 8 cents to 78 cents a ton. That is how Hoover will “take the profit out of” the next war! According to Myers, soft coal bosses cleaned up $1,000,000,000 by 1919. So much for Hoover! Clothing profits were five times those of pre-war years. And the oil companies, led by Rockefeller’s “patriotic” trust, in two years, from | 1916 to 1918, cleaned up around $550,000,000. United tSates Steel Corporation dividends went up from 11 per cent. to 89.15 per cent. from 1913 to 1917, eighteen steel com- panies totalling $1,000,000,000 in profiteering. Copper profits rose And now | 'Supported System— Owned Slaves George Washington, whom count- less Negro children in the public schools of the United States are taught to revere as “the father of his country,” was a slave owner, owning 317 slaves “in his own right and by marriage” according to a document in his own handwriting and now in the possession of Judge Armstrong, of Providence. Washington was also a stickler for the servile relations between employer and wage-earner domestic. In a letter to a friend who had recommended a white woman as housekeeper at Mount Vernon, Washington laid down the line that she would not be vermitted to eat at the table with the family as “this once admitted no line satisfactory | to either party could perhaps be drawn hereafter.” Workers, and especially Negro workers, should teach their children to remember that George Washing- ton, the father of the American bourgeois stai2, was a vicious enemy WAGE GUT AT KEARNEY PLANT Western Electric Also Fosters Race Hate KEARNEY, N. J., Aug. 3.—As ai example of capitalist “generos- ity” toward the worker, the Western Electric works here, have cut the working week 8 hours, at the same time deducting 10 hours’ pay per week and firing several thousand. The recent huge lay-off of Kear- ney electric workers, advertised by the capitalist press as a two-week “vacation” for the workers to cut down capitalist over-production, has resulted in the addition of almost 8,000 workers to the ranks of the by large numbers of police, and republican guards. Carabineers, and cavalry were stationed at the most important squares. Motor trucks were ready at hand to tran- sport them to any place in the city in case of emergency. Building trade workers ana day laborers went on strike. In many factories the | bosses dismissed the workers for the day in order to avoid a strike. | Twenty-one workers were arrested. Many anti-war meetings were held in the city. * Sa A tremendous militant anti-war demonstration took place in Berlin on August 1. The Berlin police, as if by previous agreement, adopted the same tavtics as the New York police. When the demonstration was going on the police dared not to interfere. But after the meeting | was adjourned and the workers were going home, the cowardly cops ar- rested many workers, Ce ee MADRID, Spain, Aug. 3.—Acting according to information furnished by the French boss government, the Spanish boss government arrested many Comiaunists, two of whom were arrested while distributing leaflets calling for a demonstration Anti-war demonstrations were held throughout the Soviet Union on August 1. Fifty-two modern air- planes, made in the Soviet Union, were presented to the Red Army by the volunteer Society for Aerial and Chemical Defence, in order to strengthen the defense of the fatherland of workers all over the world against attacks by the im- perialist powers.

The International Labor Defense is preparing a vigorous campaign throughout New Jersey to bring be- fore the masses of the workers the truth about the police tactics and to gain their support in demanding the right to use the streets. Literature will be distributed con- demning the police as accomplices of the lawless elements that are try- ing to drive the Communist Party from New Brunswick and other create an active protest sentiment and the International Labor Defense will defend all workers who fight for their right to be heard. MUCH PROPAGANDA IN Passaic meetings were quite suc« cessful. Preliminary meetings factory gates were held. The Pas: saic meeting held opposite the re- publican party headquarters was at- tacked by the republicans, who threw a stink bomb, and drenced the speaker also with water. The meet+ ing was not broken tp. The 800 demonstrators in Passaic voted for being “seditious.” Manufacturers of explosives, of course, reaped hundreds of millions while 35,585 American workers died on the battlefield, 14,742 died of wounds, 58,000 died of disease, 8,- 092 were killed in “accidents” and 205,690 were crippled by wounds. But under Hoover’s hypocritical “control” the bosses cleaned up at least $4,800,000,000 a year in pro- fits. And the number of million- aires increased over three hundred per cent. No worker should be fooled, there- fore, about the “plan to take profits out of war.” The plan, instead, is reap untold billions in the coming war. LL. D.

Elmer Harris made the American version of this new French comedy by Prince Bibesco. Briefly, the plot concerns three women who are exposed to the fas- cinating wiles of a philandering male. At Nancy’s barn studio near Westport arrives Ann, who em- bodies the modern restless woman with a husband who is not provid- ing thrills. Nancy herself has been through the matrimonial mill sev- eral times and has reached a state of sophisticated wariness. The third woman is Julie, the French mail.
