Against Impe- "JOBLESS ARMY NO MILLIONS By HARRY GANNES AST March by a careful examination of all the faulty capitalist statistics available a large number of comrades independently arrived at the figure of between 7,000,000 and 8,000,000 then unemployed. The sharp drop in production in every industry a few months following the March 6th demonstration made it evident that the un- employed had passed well beyond the 8,000,000 mark. The number of jobless is now well beyond 8,000,000! We have some startling admissions by the bapitalists themselves. Hoover admits through his Emergency Unemployment Committee that since the U. S. census figures on unemployment were taken in April (their figure of 2,000,000 was ® hollow mockery) the unemployed have in- creased by 1,500,000. Hoover's figure now is 8,500,000. The figure for the unemployed in New York City set by the Communist Party was 800,000. On Oct, 22, the New York Times re- ports Edward C. Rybicki, director of the City Free Employment Agency, and a good Tammany henchman as 83) : “At the present time there are nearly 800,000 persons out of work here (In New York City).” More Admissions, Im a special conference at the La Salle Hotel, Governor Emmerson of Illinois, on Oct. 15, de- clared that the number of unemployed in that state was over 400,000. Previously the boss agents had put the figure at around 200,000. ‘We do not need these boss admissions to know that the unemployed army has increased tre- mendously since last March. An examination of the faked figures of the Department of Labor shows this conclusively. An examination of every Business index printed in the United States shows a sharp downward line in production as well as in the employment index and in the pay- roll reports. Taking the admissions of Gov. Emmerson and Mr. Rybicki for the states of New York and Tilinois, we find that there are a total of 1,875, 000 unemployed. There are in these two states about one-fifth of the 35,000,000 workers in the United States. Applying the percentage that obtains in these two states to all the workers, we have the figure of 9,375,000 now unemployed. To test this figure another way, from all data of the state departments of labor, we find that there is an average of between 15 to 20 per cent decrease in employment since the first of the year 1930. This does not take account of the normal unemployed army existing at that time, and it does not account for the 1,000,000 work- ers thrown out of work since 1920 by rationaliza- tion, a admitted by the Department of Labor. Many studies by the Department of Labor during the very height of so-called prosperity in 1928 and 1929 showed there was between 10 and 18 per cent out of work even then. To say that at the present time on the false and juggled fig- ures of the state departments of labor there are at least 25 per cent of all the workers in the United States now unemployed is a very con- servative statement. For example, the American Federation of Labor figures state that for Sep- tember 23 per cent of its entire membership was out of work. Of these, 39 per cent of the build- ing trades workers were out of work. For in- stance, the situation in the auto industry, where production is off about 60 per cent is much worse than in the building trades. In the steel in- dustry, with production having averaged 60 per cent of the 1928-29 figure, there has been a re- duction of at least 30 per cent in the working force. Unskilled Suffer More. In short, the unskilled workers have suffered much more from unemployment than the skilled workers in the A. F. of L. We have the A. F, of L. admission that 23 per cent of the workers are unemployed. No honest worker would be- Heve these figures anyway, but taking them as & base, to say that 25 per cent of the unorgan- ized, unskilled workers, the great mass of the American proletariat is jobless, is again, we say, & conservative estimate. This would on the basis of 35,000,000 workers give us 8,750,000 un- employed. It is very evident from these figures, and they can be supplemented with endless statistical proof, that the unemployed army is now well beyond the 9,000,000 mark. Crisis Deepening. What is the situation now? The economic crisis is sharpening. This winter, the majority of the building trades workers will be unem- ployed. The steel industries are slowing down. While they are supposed to be operating at 53 per cent of capacity, we find a story in the New York Times (Oct. 27) headed “Buying for future is absent in steel.” This article goes on to prove that there must be a decline in steel production this winter because every supporting industry Is suffering curtailment, and that by the end of the year “for inventory” there will be a tremendous drop. The auto industry cannot slow up much more without actually stopping altogether. It 1s knowledge of these very facts that is the motive force behind the frantic preparations of Hoover and all the capitalists to fight against the growing demands of the unemployed against hunger. The bosses know that an army of 9,000,000 starving men and women is a spectre which not only haunts capitalism but which rocks it to its very foundations. The Auto Workers and the Elections Why All Auto Workers Must Vote Communist the present fall election campaign the auto workers of Michigan are facing a storm of ywage-cuts, speed-up, unemployment and starva- tion. Only the Communist Party (Workers Party on the ballot) raises these most burning issues of the auto workers in the election. Mean- While, the republican, democratic, socialist, and Bocialist labor parties completely ignore these working-class issues—and at the most only make false promises. The Communist Party partici- pates in this election campaign on the basis of Organizing the auto workers in real militant struggle against wage-cuts and speed-up, and for the immediate adoption of the Workers’ Unem- ployment Insurance Bill proposed by the Com- munist Party. Organize Your Shop Committees to Strike ! In those elections the Communist Party is Bgitating and organizing the workers to fight ®gainst their rotten living conditions. We must organize both the employed and unemployed guto workers for a joint struggle for their com- mon interests against their common enemy—the bosses, The auto workers must use this election } campaign as a means of building the Auto ‘Workers’ Union in every department of every Buto shop fh Michigan. The building of shop tommittees is the key to the organization of mass struggle of the auto workers against wage-cuts, speed-up and lay-offs. Only by building strong Gepartmental shop committees of the Auto Workers’ Union can we auto workers effectively put up a fight for better conditions. All Auto Workers’ Union members and sympathizers should agitate their departments, speak to them @onstantly, make conections, get names and ad- @resses, and bring them into the union. Martel, Wade, and American Federation of } While the auto workers are facing a stiff winter of wage-cuts and speed-up and grow- img unemployment—the fakers of the Michigan Federation of Labor (Wade, Martel, etc.) are following the same sell-out policies of Presi- dent Green and Matthew Woll. The American Federation of Labor officials have made a sec- ret agreement with General Motors and Ford to help them put the burdens, suffering and brunt of the crisis on the shoulders of the auto workers, Martel, Wade and other responsible leaders of the A. F. of L, in Michigan are taking the Tole of real bosses’ stool-pigeons, strike-break- ers and scabs when they tell the workers not to strike now, because “of the depression, which makes it impossible for workers to win their demands” (Martel). In this election campaign when the Wades and Martels are supporting the Bouchers and Comstocks and other bosses’ Politicians, the auto workers must strike back at this treacherous policy of the A. F. of L. by voting Communist on November 4th by mark- ing a cross in the circle underneath the ham- mer and sickle, the emblem of the Communist Party. Especially now when the bosses are de- termined to push through their wave of wage cuts and speed-up—it is absolutely important to mobilize the auto workers under the fighting slogan of “Organize and Strike Against Wage- Cuts and Speed-Up!” ‘The Communist Party Is at the Front Line Trenches of the Auto Workers! Battles! the American Federation of Labor and while the Bruckers and Greens of the Republi- can state administration called out the National Guards and the State Troopers, and while the Democratic leader Baker of Flint was cooperat- ing with them—only the Communist Party had the guts to resist all these murderous forces of the holy trinity of the bosses’—the state, the A. F. of L. and the social-fascists. In this election campaign the workers must learn from our comrades and fellow-workers of Germany who voted over 4,500,000 strong for the Communist Platform against hunger and boss teror. Every vote for the Republican, Democratic and Socialist parties is a vote for the continuation of wage-cuts, speed-up and lay-offs! Every Communist vote for the work- ers’ party is a vote against Murphy’s faké pro- mises and for the immediate adoption of the Workers Social Insurance Bill. ‘The Auto Workers Union, the only fighting union in the auto industry that fights against Totten conditions, against the A. F. of L. fak- ers and the auto bosses—endorses the Commu- nist candidates because they are the only ones Proven to be loyal in the fight for the working class. Auto Workers! Vote Communist, Noy- ember 4th! Election Campaign in Maryland E. BENDER growing distress among the workers as a result of the economic crisis and their readi- ness for struggle has made the capitalist class recognize the gravity of the present situation. In the election campaign the capitalist parties bring forth various fake schemes for the solution of the crisis in order to keep the workers lulled and_away from the revolutionary struggle. In the State of Maryland with a population of approximately 1,500,000, Baltimore city alone has over 800,000 people. According to the bosses statistics, there were 15,437 unemployed in Mary- land in 1928, Since the advent of the economic crisis last year, the number of unemployed has grown by leaps and bounds and a conservative estimate would put the number of unemployed today over 75,000. In Baltimore there are close to 50,000 jobless, This number is increasing daily through the constant lay offs in the Steel Mills, B & O railroad shops, waterfront and the influx of thousands of farmers from the agri- cultural parts of the state who are forced to leave the farms and look for work in the cities. The distress of the unemployed is so great that even the capitalist press is forced to admit that 50 to 60 families are being evicted weekly, and that many workers commit suicide because they have nothing to eat. Simultaneously, wages are being cut in the steel mills of Charlie Schwab to the extent of 5 to 10 per cent; lay offs ranging from 10 days to three weeks every month in the B & O shops plus “efficiency” schemes introduced with the help of the A. F. of L.; 30 and 35 cents an hour for chemical workers, working 10 to 12 hours a day; unloading machinery and smaller gangs for the longshoremen, etc. In the mining sec- tions in Western Maryland, the situation is even ai ahonistate rialist_ Attacks on the USSR! Workers’ History November 1, 1886 — Slaughter house workers of Chicago struck. 1910—Ex- pressmen of New York struck. 1918— Nearly 100 killed and hundreds injured in wreck of Brooklyn, N. Y. train run by strike-breaker. 1919—Four hundred thou- sand soft coal miners throughout the United States struck for 60 per cent wage increase, six-hour day, and five-day week. 1921—Seven thousand New Orleans long- shoremen and screwmen struck against cut in overtime pay. 1928—225,000 metal workers in Germany locked out to force reduction of wage award by arbitration worse. Mass unemployment and 8 to 15 dollars & week wages. Under the twaddle of the “Free State of Mary- land,” the Negro masses are being segregated and Jim Crowed. No Negroes are allowed into restaurants or theaters except in the Negro sec- tions. Schools are Jim Crowed. Busses do not allow Negroes and they are forced to pay a higher fare on the street cars. The wages of the Negi® workers range from 25 to 40 cents an hour doing the hardest and dirtiest work. What do the political parties of the bosses offer in these elections? Prohibition is made the major issue. But the workers are interested in the unemployment problem. So these parties are forced to speak of it. Mr. Ritchie, the candi- date for Governor on the democratic ticket who is running for the fourth term, and who as Gov- ernor of Maryland has helped to pile up the profits of the large utility corporations through tax reductions, an exhorbitant increase of car- fare to 10 cents, etc. is putting the blame of the present unemployment on the republican admin- istration but offers no solution of his own. The Platform of the democratic party speaks of the state government “doing everything it possibly can to relieve conditions by extending the op- portunities for state employment to the limit.” But all these remain mere phrases used to fool the workers, Even the fake unemployment in- surance of Governor Roosevelt is not used. The republican party on the other hand who con- trols the city administration in Baltimore has established a commission composed of Rabbis, bankers and the head of the B & O corporation, Mr. Willard, to “solve” unemployment. For the two months of the organization of the commit- tee, we only discover now that its main problem is to find a good “expert” to take care of the commission, and who will receive $6,000 a year. While the socialist party gives its warning to the bosses that the “modern industry has cre- ated a tremendous army of unemployed workers, which is dangerous to the peace and welfare of the Nation,” thus serving as a true guardian of the capitalist system. There is no solution offered to relieve the mis- erable lot of the workers and poor farmers. ‘The steel barons, the mine and railroad owners, the shipping corporations are promised reduc- tions in taxes. The farmers are thrown into the clutches of the bankers through the drought relief committee organized by Ritchie which pro- poses extension of credit to the farmers by the banks, which will lead to further bankruptcies and the extermination of the small farmers. ‘The only party in which the workers and poor farmers can find a solution to their problems is the Communist Party. The Communist Party in the state of Maryland demands the adoption of the Workers’ Social Insurance Bill by the U. S. Congress, and until that time the immedi- ate relief for the unemployed by the state and local governments. The millions that were ap- propriated for an airport in Baltimore and which was spent by the graft politicians, as well as the two and a half million dollars proposed for further appropriation for the airport should be turned over for unemployment insurance. The utility corporations, the railroad bosses and the steel barons are to be taxed more and the money given to the unemployed. The Communist Party demands not less than $25 a week for every unemployed worker. No evictions for non payment of rent. The Commu- nist Party is the real champion of the Negro masses demanding full social and political equality for the Negroes, the struggle against segregation and Jim Crowism. The workers have shown their response to the Communist Party in its drive for signatures. That splendid response must be further consolidated into votes for the Communist candidates and organization for struggle against the present system.

By RYAN WALKER oe EL \s Anthracite Miners Must Vote Communist! By IRING KEITH MINER working at the Underwood Colliery of the Penna, Coal Co., near Throop, Pa., brings home a pay of $29.26 after two weeks of work under a killing speed-up system. He has a few children to support and asks “How”? A young mine laborer working at an other colliery in Throop brings home $22.00 pay after $7.50 is deducted for a ton of coal. He worked 10 shifts of 8 hours each in the two weeks for which the pay is. A young worker working in the breakers gets about $2.00 to $3.00 per day. The miners are being forced to turn out more coal; the operators demand, and are getting, higher tops piled on the cars; they want clean coal and more of it. They are speeding up the mine work- ers in order to get this increased production. ‘Wages, paid according to the car, are not going up, the miner must load between a half a ton to a ton more coal in each car. About 65 per cent of the miners in the Anthracite who are working are only working two or three days per week. Over fifteen thousand miners are unem- ployed. The suffering of the miners, once well- paid, is indescribable, In many towns miners’ children cannot go to school because of lack of clothing and shoes. The United Mine Workers’ officialdom, the Lewis machine, have put across one of the black- est betrayals of the interests of the miners to the Anthracite operators. The agreement, which went into effect on September Ist, paves the way for the wage-cutting and speed-up campaign of the operators. The “improved car of coal” means speeding up the miners and docking them a few days if the coal is not clean, It is a wage cut for the miners; it means more profits for the check-off is a system of robbery whereby the district. and international officers of the U.M.W. are assured of collecting over $150,000 per month in the Anthracite regions. The clause which takes from the greivance committees the right to call strikes, provides for “compulsory arbitra- tion.” It is, in other words, giving the operators the right to cut the wages whenever they please. James Davis, Secretary of Labor of the U. S. and now republican candidate for U. S. Senate in Pennsylvania, was present at the signing of the agreement between the U.M.W. and the Anthracite operators. He put the official O.K. of the bosses’ government on the five and a half year no-strike agreement. Now the U.M.W, en- dorses him for the senate and his running mate, Gifford Pinchot for the Governorship. Pinchot and Davis parade as “friends of labor.” For years Davis in his capacity of Secretary of Labor was in the forefront of every attack of the Wall Street government on the workers. He was a leader in demanding anti-labor legislation. Pinchot’s record as governor of the state before proves him an arch strike-breaker, surpassed only perhaps by his running mate. Today they offer nothing for the workers but promises of “public construction” to relieve unemployment. Pinchot promises that if elected he will replace the oal & Iron police with a state constabulary. It'll be cheering to the workers to know that the gunmen who will shoot them when they demon- strate for Unemployment Insurance or go on strike, will wear the uniform of the state of Pennsylvania instead of the one they wear now. Hemphill, the “wet liberal” is the democratic and liberal parties’ candidate for the Governor- ship. The bus which carries a stumping com- mittee through the state is marked “Built by American Workers of American Materials.” It should read, “Built by American Workers under a Killing Speed-lip at a $15 Weekly Wage.” The main issue raised by Hemphill is that Pinchot drives a foreign car while he drives an American made Ford. This, he claims, helps American prosperity. The democrats also promise “public works” to relieve unemployment. They promise an “old age pension law” but do not specify how much or at what age one is entitled to it. It is clear that these two parties and their candi- dates offer nothing to the workers. James Maurer is the standard bearer of the “socialist” party. He has been a member of the “socialist” city council in Reading, Pa, for a long time. The unemployed workers in Reading get no social insurance. The socialist party has many times sent organizers to various hosiery mills in Reading to discourage the workers from going on strike’ against wage cuts, Maurer exposed him- self and his party completely. When he spoke in Wilkes-Barre, at a meeting of the Non- Partisan League, it was announced that he would speak at an open mass meeting a week later, He was told that the mayor had threat- ened to arrest any radical speaker who at- tempted to hold a meeting in the city and was asked would that interfere with his meeting. His answer was, “Don’t worry your mayor won't arrest me.” He was right. The capitalist class and its government know its enemies. He was permitted to speak and on the same night three blocks away a meeting with a Communist speaker was broken by the police. The “socialists” program differs very little from the democratic program. It calls for “cleaner, more efficient government,” for the bosses of course as the “socialist” administra- tions in Reading and in Milwaukee, Wisc. will testify. The Communist Party is in the field in this Election Campaign. It has a program which calls for immediate relief for the unemployed with funds supplied through taxing the bosses. The Communist Party is actively fighting for the building of the revolutionary Mine, Oil & Smelter Workers’ Industrial Union and against the fas- cist Lewis machine in the U.M.W, It is organ- izing the miners for a struggle against the sell- out agreement; against the check-off, speed-up and wage cuts. Pa The Communist Party is leading and organiz- ing the struggles of the workers, employed and unemployed. Therefore, its members and @r- ganizers are subjected to extreme terror at the hands of the bosses and their government. Thirteen workers in the state, 5 in the Anthra- cite, face 20 years in jail on charges of “sedition.” Some are already in jail. We fight for their re- lease and for the smashing of the infamous Flynn Sedition Law. We fight against the per- secution of militant foreign born workers; against the fingerprinting, registration and de- portation of the foreign born workers. We fight against the bosses, their government and the whole capitalist system. We fight for a Work- ers’ and Farmers’ government in the U. S. A. The Anthracite miners must support these de- mands and demonstrate this support by voting Communist November 4th! Bay State Bosses Use Their Parties to Attack Workers By D. C. LUCAS. te situation in Massachusetts and in the whole of New England grows more and more difficult for the workers. Since a long time the New England economic conditions have been bad enough, but during the crisis they have grown worse. Wage cuts, speed-up, increasing exploitation of women and children and unemployment are widely spread. And the bosses do nothing, but instead spend money lavishly on pageants, con- certs, parades and fireworks in honor of the Tercentary celebration of the founding of Massachusetts, It was evident that the candidates of the re- publican and democratic parties were leaders in this tercentenary bunk. They have to keep the workers satisfied with the present system and prepare their minds for war. Especially Governor Allen was active in this work. He is a man who likes to use biblical terms and tries to imitate Lincoln's style. Seem- ingly he is deeply concerned with the suffering masses, He is, however, one of the leading men in Armour and Co., the big packing trust of Chicago, being chairman of the board of T. R. Mosser Leather Corporation and of Winslow Bros. and Smith Co., both controlled by the Armour Co. These companies have sheepskin factories at Norwood, Mass., Peabody, Mass., and Groversville, N. Y. The poorly paid leather workers can tell a story about the way Governor Allen’s Co. treats them. body in the leather factory, of the 3,000 Pea- body workers, Fifty per cent were unemployed and those who work got an average of $22 a week, At the time of the Sacco-Vanzetti execu- tion, Allen, then lieutenant-governor of the state, did not do one single thing to prevent the killing of the two workers by his colleague, Puller. William M. Butler, the republican candidate for Senator, is no less significant a figure. He is one of the leading bosses in the textile in- dustry. President of the Associated Textile Companies, a recently formed Massachusetts trust supposed to be the largest fine good unit in the country. * It owns the Butler Mill and the New Bedford Cotton Mills Corporation at New Bedford and the Hoosac Cotton Mills at This summer there was a strike at Pea- > By JORGE We Start Crocodile Dumping Hitherto we haye referred to that delightful Soviet publication known as “The Crocodile,” which lifts the hair of Soviet bureaucrats—yes, including particularly the Communist Party bureaucrats—and punctures a lot of solemn non- sense. In a recent issue we run across the fol- lowing: “In Moscow, on Flower Boulevard, there stands a very cheerless statue called “Thought.” A scantily clad man is cast in bitter thought, “What he thinks—until recently no one knew. But it has been discovered. He is of the Secretary of the Dnepropetrosky Mining In- stitute, Comrade Resnick. “Comrade Resnick published the following an- nouncement on registration of students:—The doors to the Institutes of higher learning are wide open’, “Under this heading follows a long list of documents and certificates necessary for new student registrants. A virtual mountain of docu- ments are required. That is, apparently, the reason it was necessary to open the doors so widely—otherwise you couldn’t get in. “But this is not the point, The sly Resnick, aside from these documents, requires affidavits certifying the authenticity of the documents! “And the stone statue is wondering:—What's to be done with Resnicks?’” . * . A new paper, named “Washington,” is being issued at Washington by the republican party. It hails Hoover as “a seer of visions.” # a0), ie It’s This Way Three of the Unemployed Delegation who ventured to accept a “safe conduct” invitation by Mayor Walker to attend a “public hearing” of the New York City Board of Estimate, were darn near murdered by henchmen of the mayor at his order and in front of his eyes, So they were arrested for “inciting to riot.” But that was awkward, because {t would have to be shown just who was “incited,” and there was nobody there but Walker and other dicks, So the charge was changed to “disorderly conduct.” But that was too light a crime to chalk up against anybody who dared to demand bread for starving workers. Also, if they were “dis- orderly,” {t would have to be shown just how, and that would involve proving that instead of getting beaten up, they had beaten up some- body else. And that was’a tough one. So they were dismissed on the “disorderly” charge and re-arrested for “unlawful assembly.” ‘The big idea is that this don’t have to involve anybody but the three victims, who can be charged with “assembling” together, all three of ‘em, with malice aforethought, probably to get themselves murdered. If this don’t stick, Probably they can be charged with “attempt to commit suicide.” But we figure it out differently. It was a “public hearing” all right. But the Tammany grafters were assembled together to loot the city treasury. And Nessin, Lealess and Stone marched in and participated in the affair. So if that isn’t “unlawful assembly”—what is? North Adams, together 308,000 spindles and 7,000 looms. Butler is therefore one of the bosses responsible for the terrific situation in New Bedford, where misery and starvation reign in the houses of the workers. Butler was chair- man of the Republican National Committee in 1924 and as such he managed the Coolidge pros- perity campaign which put that strikebreaker over on the country. This boss has the front to run for senator on the melodious slogan, “Butler For Better Business.” The workers will have little trouble to find the truth of this statement so far as their own conditions are concerned. In 1920 the average weekly rate of male spinners in Massachusetts was $17.38, of female spinners $13.93. The hourly rates in textiles were one-fifth less than they were in 1920. The workers have to operate 36 and more looms instead of 12 as before. And when men and women revolt against this exploitation as in 1928, the picket lines are attacked by the police, men and women are beaten up and ar- rested, all to promote the “better business” of Butler and his class. These candidates and almost all the others have first tried to run only on the fake issue of prohibition. Most republicans are so-called “drys,” especially Allen and Butler, most demo- crats “wet.” But the deepgoing economic crisis and the constant propaganda of the Communists have compelled the candidates of the exploiting class to raise the issue of unemployment. Governor Allen appoints an unemployment commission, Butler declares unemployment most important, the democrats try to catch votes ag the party of the opposition against Hoover- Coolidge’s “prosperity” party. All are concerned with the workers—in declaration, The mayor of Boston, Curley, a democrat, even wrote a pamphlet about the unemploy- ment situation, But not one real step is taken, not even a modest attempt at social legislation, and when the workers meet on the street to protest Curly sends the police and makes whole- sale arrests with barbaric indictments. That is the democrat Curley. The democratic candidate for senator, Marcus A. Coolidge, is to Fitchburg what Butler is to New Bedford. The republican “Boston’ Herald” showed the other day how this “humane” employer had a strike in 1922 and removed his factory to New York. Of course Coolidge found some Fitchburg labor fakers willing to testify that he still was and is a real father to his workers, but they could not deny the fact of the strike. The workers should know that the democrats are not one bit better friends of the workers than the republicans, they are the same mili- tarists, the same exploiters of labor, the same Grafters that are forcing starvation upon the unemployed workers. Against these representatives of the employers the workers have put forth their Communist candidates and the Workers’ Unemployment In- surance Bill that alone means real immediate relief for the millions of jobless workers.
