Y.—As the banker follows the stock market, so do I as a woodworker follow the news in the building trade, the carpenter line in particular. There was not one carpenter wanted in today’s “World,” 80 I sat down and checked up on the “Situations Wanted” and this is what I found. Twenty-six carpenters looking for work by means of inserting an "ad” in the paper. One asks as little as $5 per day, one $8; six ask $6 per day and the rest just say “rea- sonable.” One is a foreman, A-1; one a fast worker, one is 85 and another has 20 years’ experience. “Buy now, buy cheap.” They even play up na- tionality. One states German, two Trish, one Scandinavian, six Swe- dish, one American and one Negro. Often they tell- the affiliation of the church, as Catholic, Protestant, Jewish. Isn’t it time for the worker to realize that there is no distinction between worker and worker. The carpenter who proudly stated “American” will not get work be- cause: of his Americanism. The boss knows only the $ sign and profits. Capital knows no boun- dary nor color line, it will press the last drop of blood of the colored as well as of the proud American, German or Irish. FOREIGN TRADE IN TWO RILLION DROP WASHINGTON, Dec, 8—U. S. for- eign trade during the first ten months of 1930 dropped $2,194,466,259, according to the latest report of the Department of Commerce. The only country with which trade increased was the Soviet Union. Out of thirty- eight countries whose business with the United States is listed with the Department of Commerce, the Soviet Union increased purchases from this country. Exports to the U.S.S.R. in- creased from $61,332,350 in the first ten months of the year to $96,228,727. ‘The increase in trade with the So- viet Union is due to the great ad- vances being made under the Five- Year.

CITY CONFERENCE ON UNEMPLOYED Delegates to Meet On Dee. 19, Irving Plaza New York Campaign Committee for Unemployment Insurance, this week, composed of delegates from 37 or- ganizations representing more than 100,000 workers, marks the first step in the direction of a mass drive for one million signatures for the Unem- ployed Insurance Bill the New York Campaign Commit- tee is one of a series of Committees which are now being formed through- out the country. Sam Nesin, leader of the Unemployed Workers’ com-| mittee in their demands of the New York City administration for imme- diate unemployment relief on Octo- ber 16 which resulted in the brutal beating and arrests of the delegation on Mayor Walker’s orders, has been elected Secretary of the Committee. In its-efforts to broaden the fight for unemployment insurance, drawing in the widest possible mass of work- ers, employed and unemployed re- gardless of affiliation, the committee has issued a call to a conference to be held on December 1, at 7.30 p, m. at Irving Plaza, 15th Street and Irving Place, N. Y. C. ‘The call has been sent to workers in the trade unions, shop committees, unemployed councils and workers’ fraternal organizations urging that they be represented by two or more delegates. The conference will take up the questions confronting the unemployed, placing emphasis on the signature drive and laying the basis for the election of delegates to pre- sent together with delegates from other cities throughout the country, the Bill for Unemployment Relief to Congress. Commenting on the conference call, Sam Nesin, Secretary of the Committee pointed out that the sign- ature drive already under way must not take the place of the basic or- ganization work of building Unem- ployed Councils, fighting against evictions and for good, clothing and shelter for the families of the unem- ployed, for local unemployed insur- ance, but that every fight for the unemployed must be used to speed the campaign for more signatures so that the goal of one million signa- tures may be achieved and used by the delegation of workers when it presents the Bill for Unemployment insurance in Congress sometime in January.

CALL MEDICAL WORKERS TO MEi: Wage Cuts, Lay-offs NEW YORK. — The Medical Work- ers Industrial League yesterday issuéd a statement calling upon all medical workers to organize against the wage cuts, lay-offs and speed-up systems in the hospitals, pharmaceutical houses, drug stores, etc. The Medical Workers Industrial League is holding a mass meeting of unemployed and employed medical workers on Wednesday night, Decem- ber 10, at 16 West 2ist Street, in or- der to organize these workers for ef- fective struggle against conditions in the industry, conditions which are similar to those faced by workers to- day in every other industry in this and other capitalist countries. .A statement issued by the League calls upon the medical workers to support this move for organization, and declares in part: “The bosses take advantage of the situation to cut wages of those em- ployed regularly, to lay-off workers and employ new workers on a lower wage scale, and in general to p'ay the unemployed against the employ- ed. “In other industries where the workers are organized into unions, the workers offer resistance and call upon jemployed and unemployed to unite in order to 11aintain a peter stan- dard of living. “Why should medical waren play Professionalism ‘be Diplomas won't fill empty stomachs, pay rent or bring happi- ness into our homes.

One of the latest is the sudden at~ tack made on the Soviet system and lielmo Ferrero, This individual fs x professor of history, a bourgeois anti< fascist Italian, ~ Yesterday Ferrero blossomed out in a long article in Hearst newspapers, assailing Soviet “dumping.” Ferrero makes several admissions. Still preserving the fiction that sale ot Soviet wheat and manganese and oil for the sake of buying machinery abroad is “dumping,” he admits that this very “dumping” benefits sections of society under capitalism. Sale of wheat makes cheaper bread for the workers; the oil and manganese is bought by those who can make good use of it. Ferrero argues that the workers should voluntarily starve themselves and refuse te buy cheaper bread because, “the Soviet system is in opposition to the system of the West.” He wants an embargo and glosses over the fact that this would throw millions more of workers in capitalist countries out of work. Probably he sees this perfectly well, but would argue that the starving jobless ought to like it because in that way they are loyally striking a blow at the sys- tem Ferrero does not like. Ferrero is for blood. He says: “For ten years there has been no end to the denunciations;-both n Eu- rope and in America, of the rapine practised on the wealthy classes in Russia, Such execrations should have been translated into rules of con- duet.” Steel Barons Restless As though to give point to Ferrero’s lament about the present lack of a completely united front against the Soviet system, the American Iron & Steel Institute yesterday made public its answer to the appeal of the Amer+ ican Manganese Producers Associa« tion to the Bureau of Customs for an embargo on “Soviet dumping of man- ganese in U. S.” The iron and steel corporations which make up this institute point out that they need the manganese, and that it isn't being dumped. The price of Russian manganese is quoted on the world market, and the steel trust is paying the market price for it. be able to march forward in our struggles for better conditions and against the starvation policy of the bosses.” “For AU Kinds of Insurance" (CARL BRODSKY ‘Telephone: Murray HIN 655¢ 7 East 42nd Street, New York Cooperatora) SEROY.
