DAILY WORKER, NEW FOR THE HA’ Candidates Show-How to Fight Wage Cuts YORK.—A NEW program struggle against wage cuts in the; hatters’ trades has been issued in the form of a leaflet by four candidates/ office in Lecsl 8 here of the nited Hatters ¢ Jerome Hope, candidate for Harry Kan, for vice presi- of Max Manes, for secretary; Nathan Me x, for finance com- mittee. Their statement is organ- ized by the Committee of Action, to Fight Wage Cuts of the U., H.. of A. The ca dates point out that the hatters’ trade is becoming a part of what is known as the needle indus- and advocate that the program in close unity with the Workers’ Industrial ne hat manu- g an attack on rds of living, cut- nd indirectly, by $1.40 a dozen for buying hairy with the and inst speed-up, 5-day week, for um wage of ent insur- Officer it wis ne uNorg: Big Struggles LoorrAs Hunger Spreads There are o 3,500,000 unem- ployed in Germary, according to lat- est cable -eports from Berlin,-Kendall Foss, N. Y. Times Berlin correspon- dent, in a dispatch from Berlin dated Dec. 4 paints a picture of anvextreme | the socialists, who on Nov. 23, held in| sharpening of the class struggle. Pre- dicting thet after Christmas the un- employed army will number well of 4,000,000, he says: as “Pessimism and fear ’preévail throughout all ranks of séciety in the Reich. The workless féar cold and hunger and sickness. The rest fear the effect acute suffering js going to have on the patience of these who face a hopeless outlook. For there are close to 1,000,000 mien women and children’ in’ Ger- many who will be sadly under- nourished this winter if they do not actually face grave danger of star- vation of freezing to death.” As fhe jobless grow, the Bruening government, with the aid of the So- cialist, cuts downs the unemployment insurance allowance. So that more can be paid to the imperialists under the Young Plan, and so that the pro- fits of the German bosses will be hampered as little as possible, the Socialists stand shoulder to shoulder with Bruening and the other ¢ap- italist politicians against the, workers. Medical Workers Meet Wednesday to Plan Fight on Wage Cuts NEW YORK—One visit to the Nurses Registries, or any of the other agencies which place medical work- ers will convince anyone that the un- employed among us workers has reached tremendous proportions.

M. C. A. speak on Russia Davis had been invited evidently un- der the assumption that a good chris- tian was certainly against the godless Bolsheviki. And Davis, who has spent several years in Russia, did come through the attack on “the dogmatic atheism of the Communists.” But, not being especially concerned about man’s mere bodily wants, and evi- dently feeling. that in unimportant matters one should “give the devil his due,” Davis mentioned by the way that ural resources for the benefit of the vance of Italy because it has pro- gressed from its status under the czar, whereas Italy’s development autocracy.” He said the present-day workers of Russia, as compared with those | of the czar’s regime, were enjoying | | an eighty per cent advance in their | wages. “There are also many interesting “Which have benefited the worker and I should like to see a corres- ponding improvement along similar | | lines for the workmen of America.” | | This created consternation among conjunction with the Russian white | guard organizations here, a confer- \ence on how best to save the lives |of the sabotagers then about to go to trial in Moscow, and railed at the | “Bolshevik tyranny” which is ruining |the oor kulaks and actually turns over the factories and lands to the |control of the workers. There were (many interruptions and denuncia- | tions from the floor against Davis’ statements. ADMITS WAR DANGER IS GROWING GREATER DAILY NEW YORK.—Another voice from a capitalist supporter on the growing war danger came from James G. Mc- | Donald, chairman of the Foreign Pol- |icy Association, in a speech delivered at the Hotel Astor on Saturday. “The world (really meaning the capitalist governments) is spending this year between four and five bil- lion dollars in preparation for the next war,” he said. “Burope ts an armed camp.” It is the usual trick of the Ameri- can boss spokesmen who can see “Eu- rope aS an armed camp” to overlook the United States, where more than one billion dollars, or about a quarter of the total war expenditures of the world are being spent. McDonald brought in the Soviet Union, but instead of admitting the widely known fact that the imperial- ists are preparing for an attack on the workers’ republic, declared that “the shadow cast by Moscow over Europe grows longer and deeper.” “Russia, alone, of all the countries | of the world, is developing her nat- | | Russian people. Russia is far in ad- | has, been more of a retrogression to; _ cultural developments” he declared, | instances entirely disregard the fact that there is a limit to the hours of work. To take up the problems..of the large numbers of unemployed’ in this line of work, the Medical Workers’ Industrial League will huld a meet- ing on Wednesday, Dec. 10, at 8 p. m. at 16 W. 2ist St. All medical work- ers are urged to come.
