Page Two DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1930 ———— ALL BOSS PREDICTIONS CRASH; ECONOMIC CRISIS Steel. Industry Goes Down 9 1-2 Per Cent in One Month; Building Is Cut Further Hard and Bitter Winter Ahead for Jobless, as Bosses Put “Rev NEW YORK.—A complete smash up of all the predictions for an “up- turn” in business is shown by all of the latest reports and sti on production.

TEhe Oct. 10 issue of the nalist tells us now that the bo were forced to swallow their dis- appointment “when it becomes ciear that in the country at large the value of new contracts awarded in September was, with due allowance for seasonal influences, lower than in August, when, on the same basis, | the figures were already at the | lowest point thus far reported for | the current decline.” i On this basis at least 60 per cent | of the building trades workers are now out of jobs. Sing a Different Tune Optimism is no niore the out- standing characteristic of the boss economists. The New York Times states that a whole group of boss soothsayers, who were predicting an eatly récovery of American capital- ism, now see things very black fm- deéd. They say that the economic crisis is going to last a long time, with more and more unemployment and misery for the workers. The ‘Times, summing up, the views of these former Pollyarias, says: | An- es “As the process of mechaniza- | tion of industry proceeds, they | Say, more and more men must of .necessity be thrown out of work. | In this way a constant surplus of workers will be built up. As this process continues; they argue, | there will be a growing propor- tion of unemployed in the popu- lation, with a consequen diminu- tion of public purchasing power and a breakdown of the entire theory of large-scale mechanized production.” | More small capitalist businesses | aré éfacking under the strain of the crisis. The latest report on} bankruptcies by R. G. Dunn & Co.| shows $84 failures, against 343 the previous week, and fitms with a ¢ap- ital of from $5,000 to $20,000 showed | an in¢tease among the bankruptcies. | All other indications, such as| freight car loadings, electrical power consumption, employment, prices deepening of the crisis. Crisis Passes “Usual” Period The bare comparisons of proude- tion in the presetn months of 1930 with the same months of 1929 do not begin to show the low level of the crisis, because in the same months last year the crisis had al- ready begun a hefty downward swing. Several months ago the bosses, their government spokes- man, and their hired economists said teh crisis was bound to end because it had lasted the usual period. Now they change their tune. They talk about a “spring revival.” Others | talk about a revival at the end of | 1981; others put it off until 1932. Some, like the Bankers Journal, say there will be a period of “chronic depression” for five or te nyears. Now we have the Times report a group of them declaring the crisis Party Activities, Section 5 Red Election Dance.

TO START CLASS IN SHOP PAPERS Worker School Course Begins Nov. 5 NEW YORK.—The in shop paper metheds will begin at the Workers School, 35 East 12th St., on Wedne: ovember 5, and will continue each Wednesday for 12 sessions. All other courses will begin in the week of Oct. 15. In view of the strenuous efforts being made to accomplish the out- standing task of the Conimunist Party in this period, the permeation of the shops and factories, and or- ganization of Party nuclei, the de- velopment of shop paper activity becomes more and more essential. The shop paper is a sharp weapon in mass agitation. It is the Com- munist organ in the shop. It leads the struggles and organizes the workers in the factory, and reachés directly much broader sections of the working class than any other typé of Party organ can reach. Shop paper work is extremely It demands aceuracy and patience. At the same time it is a field in which comrades have thé least experience, due to an under- estimation of the importance of this most effective weapon for making course | each factory, in the words of Lenin, “A citadel of Party.” “CHILDREN OF NEW DAY” FILM HERE OCTOBER 26 NEW YORK.—As a part of its campaign to raise a fund of $10,000 for a large children’s camp for next season the New York local of the Workers International Relief is put- ting on a motion picture which will give New York workers an oppor- tunity to see the Young Pioneers’ film, “Children of the New Day,” one of the latest Soviet films, which will be shown Sunday, October 26, afternoon and evenings at Star the Communist | Casino, 107th St. and Park Ave. This film, which is also known by the title, “Lenin Address,” was pro- duced by Vladimir Petrov in U, S.

J., Oct. 12— The opening of the new Workers Center-at 337 Henderson St. in Jer- sey City, is the beginning of real activity of the party of the revol tionary movement in this industrial center. Continued unemployment, wage cuts, speed-up and discrimina- tion against the Negro workers in all of the industries, notably in’ the Bond Electric, Standard Oil Co, Central Railroad, etc., is convincing the workers of the need of a Com- munist Party and militant unions, The new Workers Center will be the center of all the revolutionary organizations in the city. A “housewarming” will be held at the new center on Saturday? Oct. 18, at which a Negro Jazz Band will be an outstanding feature. Other attractions, such as mass singing, mass games and dances have been arranged. Tickets can be bought for 35 cents at the headquarters or at the door.

Demand Immediate Relief. | It is up to the unemployed work- | ers, in a united struggle with the! employed workers, to demand that out of the $700,000,000 collected by | the Tammany grafting crew, ample provisions be made for immediate relief of the 800,000 New York job- less who this winter face dreadful conditions. Besides lining their own pockets, the Tammany grafters set aside | huge sums for interest on bonds. The parasite bond holders will get the largest sum, namely the huge chunk of $196,000,000, while 800,- 000 unemployed and their families are facing starvation this winter. Thousands are already being evict- ed. This winter the number will double and trible. The Unemployed Council will present concrete demands to the Board of Estimates providing that bond payments be stopped, that these funds be turned over to | unemployed workers.

This is being done in an attempt to check the growing revo- lutionary movement of the workers, to delude them and to distract their attention from the worsening condi- jtions and consequent rising strug- gles against them’ $ Never before did the bourgeoisie push to the forefront the ‘ socialist” patty and the American Federation of Labor, the chief betrayers of the working class, as they are doing today, in an attempt to help these betrayers of the working class to capture the leadership of the work- ers and attack them to the train of the bourgeoisie. All the promises of the bour- geoisie parties about “returning prosperity” remain only promises, In_ reality, the economic conditions of the work- ing class are becoming worse every day. Hunger and disease are knoek- ing at the door of many millions of workers and their families af- fected by unemployment, wage cuts, speed-up, ete. Particularly the miners and their families are affected by the éco- nomic crisis of capitalism. About 60 percent of the miners are totally unemployed. The remaining 40 per- cent are working on an average of three days per week under indescrib- able conditions. . Wage-cuts, speed- up, mass lay-offs, are a daily oc- currence in the mining industry.

Workers Give the Cold Shoulder to ‘Socialist’ Laborites| NEW YORK—New York work- ets again gave the cold shoulder to the “socialist” labor party when last Wednesday night at 86th St., between Third and Lexington’ Aves., the traitors tried to set up a street meeting in opposition to the Com-} munist Party. The two meetings got started at | practically the same time, but after a very few minutes there were more than 1,000 workers around the Communist platform, while the “so- cialist” labor party could draw only 15 petty bourgeoisie, A large number of papers and pamphlets wére sold with the work- ers contributing eleven dollars to- ward defraying the expenses of the Communist election cam paig The Messrs. Shubert are present- ing Ivor Novello in his London pro- duction, “Symphony in Two Flats,” at the Siubert Theatre. The play | is by Novello himself. The action is divided into a pre- lude, prologue and three acts, and is of unusual dramatic construction in that it is really two entirely dif- ferent plays in one, with no connec- tion between the occurrences in the studio above and the floor below | except in the prologue when the peo- ple meet while renting quarters’ in the same building. It seems as if Novello had writter: two plays, both too short for an evening’s entertain- ment, and, rather than subject them to further conversational padding, had the novel idea, of combining | them the way he has done, PALACE The Marx Brothers, Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo, with a company of seventeen in mirthmak- ing as in “Cocoanuts” and “Animal Crackers”; Georgie Price, that ver- satile young master of ceremonies; Rose Perfect, charming soprano of | “Seandals” fame; Cab Colloway and his “Cotton Club” crowd, noise hounds, sepia talent and all; Valen- tine Vox and Emily Walters, ven- triloquists in smart sub-vocal com- edy; Cardini, master manipulator of cards and cigarettes, and Mann,} Bradford and Van Alst, in their little revue.
