Speed the Signature Collection Campaign for the Unemployment Insurance Bill. Unemployment Insurance Must Be Won Now! Dail (Section of the Communist international) WORKERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE! Vol. VIII. No. 5 at New York, Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office N. ¥.. amder the act of March 3. 1879 NEW YORK, TUESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1931 CITY EDITION wuz the smug hypocrisy typical of the capitalist class in its most “‘dealistic”? moments, the N. Y. Telegram comments on the success by armed Arkansas farmers in forcing the Red Cross to give them food for their starving families, as follows: “The American government must not let Americans starve to death, That would be inhuman. Also it would be very dangerous.” But this nickel-plated “idealism” is rather brassy in the light of facts. ‘The American government not only “lets” Americans starve to death. It sentences them to death. To all class conscious workers, of course, the crime is the same, whether the victims are Americans or foreign-born. But the government sentences them to death just the same if they are workers who are jobless, if they are poor farmers suffering from capi- talist robbery primarily, and from drouth incidentally. The government sentenced the poor farme: and did it deliberately, knowing that starvation was rife and would worsen, when it refused even a penny for “human food,” saying that the starving masses of the cities might also expect something and it would be a “dangerous precedent.” The Arkansas farmers, armed and determined, have the honor of confronting the capitalist government with a “precedent” equally “dan- gerous” to capitalism. They refused to starve. They needed food and they took it, in effect, by armed mass action, Messrs. Hoover and Hyde may chew over that. The capitalist government, under the direction of these hypocrites, re- fused “human food’—and still refuses it, even the Senate rider to the fake Drouth Relief Bill proposing $15,000,000 more for “loans” being elim- inated as quickly as passed. The capitalist government, with Hyde and Hoover speaking, said that the Red Cross relief was “adequate.” Senator Caraway now reveals, in a figure suppressed by the capitalist press, that the Red Cross “relief” is exactly $1.19 per month for each starving family! This is, as stated above, not “letting” the farmers starve to death; it is insisting that they starve to death! The Arkansas farmers show that the misery and starvation great masses of the farm poor suffer is compelling them to mass action just as the city workers. The two forces should be united. The fighting farm- ers should form Committees of Action by township or county and get in touch with each other to spread their struggle, as success depends on widespread action, uniting white and Negro and overcoming as in Arkansas all race prejudice for the benefit of united action. ‘They should look to the militant workers of the cities for aid, allying themselves with the Unemployed Movement. They have good reason to demand relief funds be distributed by their own Action Committees. For more long range aid they should support the proposal of the United Farm- ers League for full cash compensation at the expense of the government, capitalists and farm produce gamblers, of crop losses by small farmers. But still more basic, they should realize that the drouth was only the final disaster, and that they are robbed every year by landlords, bankers and tax-robbing capitalist government, by market monopolies and imple- ment trusts. Let all poor farmers by township or county form Committees of Action or Tenant Leagues, and write to the United Farmers League of New York Mills, Minnesota for its Program. Only action counts. Stop paying rents! Refuse to pay mortgage or interest, and fight together to prevent evictions! Refuse to starve, and demand food! Only the actton in Arkansas forced Congress to do as much as go through the motions of adding $15,000,000 for “human food” it once denied. Only other actions will prevent the capitalist government from again evading the issue and cutting down again!

FARMERS Pretends None Starve, | But Admits Families Get But $1.19 WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—The cynical capitalists of the federal gov- | ernment are “shocked” at the news that hungry farmers in Arkansas, armed and determined that their children must not starve, descended | on the stores at the town of England and forced the hyocritical Red Cross to distribute food. Only three weeks ago, it was re- ported on the floor of congress that 200 high school children at England, Ark., were starving. The common | schools were not reported. And the same condition was known to exist | in wide areas. But the capitalist gov- | ernment refused to appropriate a cent for “human food,” claiming that the Red Cross was giving “adequate relief.” $1.19 Per Family. \Speed-Up and Mechanization Show Need for Organization By WM.

A delegate reported that in the mill where he works 104 workers in one department have been sup- planted by machines operated by two men. In the coal industry rationalization also goes ahead. The Illinois mines are widely mechanized. For example, the Orient mine, which formerly employed 2000 work- ers, now has only 800 and turns out even more coal, the Illinois delegates said. In mines and steel mills workers were reported as actually collapsing from exhaustion. Rank and file “go slow” movemenis are developing. Incorrect Use of Partial Demands. The Board meetings critically examined the reas- ons why they have not made greater progress notwith- standing the evidently increasing radicalization of the workers. In both instances it was recognized that this was largely due to an incorrect use of partial demands; that it is the common tendency of T. U. U.

Y. Times’ WaShington correspondent, Jan. 4th. ‘These two questions are intimately linked up. For the majority of World War veterans are workers, and have been suffering with others of their class from unemployment and wage cuts. No worker's job is secure, and the worker veterans have eyery reason to support the Workers’ Un- employment Insurance Bill, about which-Hoover & Co., are “concerned” — to oppose. Immediate relief to these worker veterans can be given by forcing the government to cash now their “Tombstone bonus” certificates which are payable in 1945 or in case of death. All the big bugs of capitalism are against this, including the leaders of the American Legion. Hoover is worried because the American Legion leaders are failing in holding down the worker veterans of the rank and file. Local Legion posts everywhere are demanding cashing of the “Tomb- stone Bonus” certificates. What the Legion leadership did, is told in the December issue of the American Legion Monthly, in an article entitled “For God and Country,” by Philip Von Blon, telling of the action of the Legion Convention at Boston. In a short paragraph he says: “There was debate also on a proposal for the immediate pay- ment of adjusted compensation certificates, a proposal which had been indorsed by several departments. The proposal in the form of a minority report, was voted down after John R. Quinn of Cali- fornia, who as National Commander in the year the adjusted com- pensation law was enacted, spoke against it. The roll-call vote was 967 to 244.” This was the action of the Legion leadership, which is a part of the capitalist class and serves that class interests. No worker veteran, Legion member or not, can expect anything from such leadership, which is the same sort as the fascist, boss class leaders of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Under pressure of the rank and file, the V. F. W. is trying to find @ new trick, in the form of a miserable 25 per cent of the certificates. Hines of the Veterans’ Bureau indeed seems to favor this. But it is all a deceit, since most of the worker veterans admittedly have already bor- rowed nearly 23 per cent against their certificates, and the difference is a ridiculous sum to call “relief.” Also, Hines intends to discriminate be- tween those whom he thinks are “in need” and those not, x . Only the Workers’ Ex-Servicemen’s League, with headquarters at 15 East Third Street, New York, leads the fight for cash payment at full face value of the certificates—but only to workers, since it holds that vet: fans who are bosses don’t need it, Indeed, there is a feeling that capitalists who try to play the “buddy” business on worker veterans whose vital interests are hostile to theirs as bosses, should be taxed half the value of their certificates, to be turned over to the fund for the unem- ployed under the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill. Al! workers should support the demand of the Workers’ Ex-Service: men’s League, and all worker veterans should realize that only by turning away from the Legion and V. F. W. misleaders to join forces with the Workers’ Ex-Servicemen’s League, can they make their demand for cash payment of the Service Certificates effective, as well as supporting the struggle for unemployment insurance.

This worker war veteran knows what it means to fight for capitalism, to be wounded and thrown on the scrap heap, without employment and with a few dollars of “compensation,” given in the attempt to keep him quiet— in the attempt to keep him and other workers from demanding adequate unemployment insurance, work or wages, the right to organize and fight for his rights. Now he is through fighting for the bosses. HE IS FIGHT- ING THE CLASS FIGHT. HE KNOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DAILY WORKER IN THAT FIGHT. He knows that the Daily Worker faces suspeél from lack of money and he is sending mofity”to ‘the $30,000 Emergency Fund REGULARLY. ™ A California worker writes: “You might be curious as to why a person should send their last dime to the, ly Worker on the last day of the year.

They know the importance of the Daily Worker in counteracting the lies of the capitalist press, in organizing workers for the struggle. THEY KNOW THAT THE DAILY WORKER IS A WEAPON OF THE WORK- ING CLASS AND THAT IT IS BEING BITTERLY FOUGHT BY EVERY ENEMY OF THE WORKING CLASS. They are determined that the Daily Worker shall continue; that it shall appear every day; and that it shall reach every worker. This is the immediate task of every militant worker and every Party member. Lack of funds may stifle the Daily Worker. No greater calam- ity could happen to the working class. Send funds.

What His Department Says. So far as Doak is concerned, the very department which he heads has issued figures which spikes his lies In the latter part of 1930 the De- partment of Labor stated that there were 551 wage-cuts between Oct. 15, 1929, and Aug. 1930 (the period Doak said Hoover's “agreement” saved wege standards); and this was based on reports from only 7 per cent of the factories in the United States. In an article in the New York Evening Post (Jan. 2, 1931) William Green was forced to admit there | were at least 724 wage-cuts in 1930. In his speech, made the same day that Doak spewed his lies over the radio, Green stated that “about 50 per cent of the trade union members had to lower their standard of living because of lowered incomes. The in- comes of wage-earners have declined by over $6,000,000,000 in the past year.” Green forgot that in the New York Evening Post article he stated that incomes had declined over $8,000,000,000—a two billion dollar drop in wages means little to Green. Green and Doak Exposed. But the fact of the matter is both “Green and Doak are just plain liars. Doak lies outright and Green in less- ening the real situation of the work- ers. The Standard Statistics Co., a leading boss statistical agency, de- clared in the latter part of 1930 that for the first nine months alone the workers, due to part time employ- ment and wage-cuts, lost $9,000,000,- 000. For the year the cost to the workers in wage-cuts and part time employment alone is at least $10,000,- 000,000. When the loss to the work- ers due to unemployment is added to this, we find that the American work- ers have had their living standard cut about $17,280,000,000—or one-third of the total income of the workers. These are the faets and no amount of lying by either Green, Doak or their boss, Hoover, will feed the ever- Sens SEN SO AA | Officials of the Police Department jhave already “visited” headquarters of the Communist Party of Section 6 and Section 7.
