C—O i | Mass Discharges of Rubber Workers ~ Sweeps Through Akron, 0.; Wages of Those Still Working Are Slashed FROM HIS HOME Firestone, Fierce Attack Against Rubber Workers Small-Shopkeepers Failing by Dozens As the _ Crisis Grips Dear Comrade Editor: Rubber City .. Here in the city of opportunity, conditions are becoming worse every day. The local papers publish long articles about the rubber shops taking back hundreds of men. In reality they take a few men for a week, then lay off hundreds, Talk with any of the rubber workers and they will tell you that when they report for work they do not know if it will be the last day or not for them. The bosses are speeding the workers more and more; wages are being cut further and in many departments the stagger sys- tt Ge aia me tem is being instituted. Firestone Lays Off I was talking with a worker in Fire- stone who said he was laid off Mon- day along with 400 other workers. A further, reduction was to be made, along with a wage-cut. Goodyear is laying off 300 men this week, according to a worker. Goodrich is working on the stagger system. Many departments are work- ing only three and four hours a day. Many workers do not make enough wages to support their families and are visiting the soup lines. While writing this a comrade re- ports that Goodrich announced a 5 per cent. wage-cut in all departments, effective at once. Curtail Transit Service The transportation companies are feeling the crisis too. Workers cannot Kansas City, Mo. Workers in southeast Missouri are militant enough but they are using their militancy for the wrong purpose. Many white workers who lived in that section several years ago, but later went to work in the factories in the cities have returned on account of the crisis.

The bosses now plan to reduce the service on all the street car and bus lines and throw many more workers out of @ job and into the soup lines. The interurban service between Ak- ron and Cleveland is being curtailed. Seven runs are being taken off this week, throwing 14 men out of work. Many small business men are go- ing out of business and others say they do not know how long they will last. Over 50 restaurants have failed in the past year. I say to all workers, let’s organize in the shops and into the unemployed councils and fight against unemploy- ment and for the workers’ unemploy- ment insurance bill.

Daily Worker: Despite the demagogy that Mayor Murphy is spreading about being op- posed to evictions and being a friend of the ex-service men who served overseas, it can be clearly seen that he is more concerned with protecting the interests of the landlords and the other big business men who elected him as head of their govern- ment. Within two weeks several eviction notices have been served on an un- employed ex-serviceman, Mr. Vosceo, 3112 Dubois St. This unemployed worker was one of the first to volun- teer for military service during the World War and served 27 months in France. ‘The Unemployed Councils are pre- paring to resist any attempt on the part of the authorities to evict this worker from his home. Mr. Vosceo is only one of the many ex-service- men who is beginning to realize that fighting for the bosses is fighting for their profits, and that hereafter he intends to fight in the Unemployed Councils in the interests of the un- employed workers of this country, MINE, MILL LABOR TO DEMONSTRATE ‘Prepare in Over Sixty Industrial Towns; Fight for Life (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) stration, all who want to go, will afterwards proceed to the nearby city of Massilon, whose 30,000 inhabitants are practically all mill and factory workers.

Both Canton and Massilon are run by the Timken Roller Bearing Co. and the Central Alloy subsidiary of the Republic Steel Co, Wage Cuts. Conditions here are getting worse. To be sure, the Canton Drop Forge Co., which has been closed down for weeks, has resumed operations. But these operations are on a small scale, and with a wage cut. On Feb. 1, the Canton Stamping and Enameling Co. put through a ten per cent wage cut. The unor- ganized workers immediately elected committees and voted to strike, but the management bluffed them out of it, at least for the moment, by }Stating that a complete new force \had already been hired.

CHESTER, Pa., Feb. 8—The job- less and employed workers of Ches- ter will come out in mass demonstra- tion Feb, 10 at 4:30 p.m. at Third and Market streets. The demonstra- tion will be held under the auspices of the Chester Unemployed Council. Approximately 15,000 of the 60,000 population of this city is unem- ployed. The Ford Motor Co. Sun Shipyard, and the large plants lo- cated in this highly industrialized city are operating with skeleton crews. The unemployment situation has especially affected the 12,000 Ne- gro population here. The Ford Mo- tor and a number of other plants refuse to hire Negroes. The city administration is putting on some fake relief measures through the establishment of a city “employ- ment agency.” Thousands of work- ers have registered for jobs at this agency only to find out that there are no jobs to be gotten. A num- her of the city officials have been indicted on graft charges. These corrupt politicians are piling in the heavy dough, while the unemployed Negro and white workers are left to starve and shift for themselves.

MINERSVILLE, Pa., Feb. 8—The delegation of the unemployed coun- cil elected at the unemployed con- ference held in Minersville om Janu- ary 25, will present their local de- mands to the County Board in Potts- ville, Pa,, on February 10, The same evening they will give a report to the workers of Minersville at an Un- employed Mass Meeting at 7 p.m. in Workers Hall, 3rd and South St., Minersville, Pa. The delegation to Vottsville, Pa., among other things, will demand the following: No payment of rents, wa- ter, electricity, mortgages, interest, and taxes while unemployed. . The Delaware and Hudson Coal Company shut down its mines in Larksville, Pa., about 5 months ago. They reopened the mines fur a few days a month, The miners are taced with starvation in this vicinity. ‘Ihe Unemployed Council is calling a mass meeting, Tuesday afternoon, 3 p.m., in Rokaidos Hall, State St. Larks- ville, February 10, 3 p.m. Hundreds in the ington, D. C., for the purpose of placing before congress its demand | for the passage of the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill in the name of the workers it repre- sents, in the name of the ten mil- lion unemployed workers and their dependents, in the name of the working class of the United States. “The closing down of shops, mines and mills have thrown ten million workers out of employment. Intense misery, mass starvation, sickness and a fast increasing death rate is today the lot of these un- employed workers,” their wives, children and babies. “The deep economic crisis in which capitalism finds itself, and for which it is responsible, the result- ant unemployment and starvation of workers and their families, makes | national unemployment insurance a major and immediate requirement. Congress has not taken a single step to give relief to the unemployed workers. The working class has no representatives in Congress. The Workers Unemployment Insurance | Delegation takes this means of ap- | pearing before congress to demand | the passage of our Unemployment Insurance Bill, which cat!s upon the national government to use all war funds and to create levies upon. in- comes and property for the estab- | lishment of a fund to give all un- employed workers and their de- pendents cash relief, the fund to be administered by a joint commission of employed and unemployed work- ers. “The Workers’ Unemployment In- surance Delegation will draft its | statement to Congress on February 9th. Upon February 10th it will send an authorized committee to both houses to present its demands. This authorized committee wants the floor in the house of repre- sentatives and in the senate for the purpose of voicing the demands of the unemployed and employed work- ers for unemployment relief, “This communication is written for the purpose of calling upon you to initiate such procedure in you body as to make it possible for our authorized committee to secure the floor to read its statement and | Present its demands, to make de- mands upon the United States Government to pass our Unemploy- ment Insurance ill.” The National Conference, meeting, today, will take up the final form of | the bill to be presented.

The committee was appointed as a result of the publi- cation of the Whalen forgeries, Al- though even tho Fish committee has been compelled to admit that the Whalen documents were forgeries. Further, the committee has been compelled to admit that, ‘there are no definite and valid proofs that the Amtorg (Soviet Trade Mission in the United States) had any con- nection with the destructive activity conducted in the United States.’ “Thus, all the accusations as a result of which the Fish committee was ‘appointed have collapsed. How- ever, the Fish committee seeks to provide the international anti-Soviet campaign with ‘a documentary basis’ and thus assist the prepara- tions for war against the Soviet Union. In its report and in its pro- posals the Fish committee follows in the first place political aims. osperity’ in the United States a thing of the past; unemployment ng; wages are falling; the rs are being ruined; the class le is intensifying. As a result, the radic ion of the masses is proceeding swiftly aud their confi- dence in the Communist Party is growing. The Fish committee would, therefore, like to see the Communist Party made illegal. 3 “American and Canadian circles terested in maintaining anthra- te and manganese ore prites have repeatedly attacked the modest im- ports from the Soviet Union. Up to the present they have been unsuc- cessful. The Fish committee has, therefore, made another attempt. It also seeks to win the farmers by the old ‘soviet dumping’ The insolent and ridiculous ‘working conditions charge. suggestion th; in the Soviet Union’ should be made the subject of an inquiry is a grat- uitous insult. Would not the Fish committee prefer to conduct an in- vestigation into the frightful, work- ing conditions of the Negroes in the southern States, or even in the northern States? Would it like to take a closer look at the conditions of the unemployed workers in the United States? World it like to conduct an investigation into the working and living conditions of the workers on the plantations in Latin-America belonging to North American capitalism? Or perhaps jury into the conditions in the n capitalism is in the throes of a severe economic crisis. American exports fell by ent. American exports to the Soviet Union, however, are on the increase. The balance of trade between the Soviet Union and the United States is very much in favor of the latter. The American bour- geoisie is very much interested in the extension of commercial rela- tions between the two countries. Only individual groups of the American bourgeoisie have contrary interests.

After the conference ‘today, there will be in the evening, at 8 p. m., a mass meeting at Concord Hall, to which all workers and jobles in Wash- ington are invited. ‘The conference will instruct all of its delegates to return immediately to the localities from which they came, and be prepared to deliver a report on the presentation of the bill and the decisions of the conference to the masses of workers meeting or demonstrating on Feb. 25th, Inter- |national Fighting Day for the Unem- | ployed. see The Delegations NEW YORK.—The National Com- mittee for Unemployment Insurance | had received credentials Saturday for only 68 of the delegates, but even these showed a wide range of indus- | tries and distribution geographically.

C., Hardy, secretary of the News Club, anal: the mistakes himself. In order that the other districts may avoid these errors, we quote from his report “In the first place, we were carried away by enthusiasm and increased the order from 50 to vithout ha’ ing any basis for it. Sacramento hi @ population of about 90,000. TI is no doubt that the circulation be built up, but if was a serious mis- take to suddenly ‘inérease our order 500 per cent.” (Another case of “spectacular” orders from which the Detroit District recently suffered as well.) Having realized their errors, Handy informs us that their plan of work | is “to concentrate on factory, house- to-house sales and out of town sales.” “We intend to order 1,000 copies of the Foster meeting issue. every Daily there will be a leafict explaining the necessity of the Daily, our carrier system, subserip- tion rates, ete. This is but one Plan. The Daily will be built up mainly by systematio day by dey work.” The Sacramento comrades clearly understand the immediate steps to be taken so that doubtful, unsteady Daily Worker sales may be avoided, and are getting. down to the job of developing a real basis for permanent circulation, We have one suggestion: that more frequent reports be sent regarding the Red Builders’ News Clubs so that direct ‘asistance may be given them from this end.
