Fresh hundreds of thou- sands of workers are steadily pouring into the hungry ranks of the unemployed armies through- out the world. The economic crisis and capital- ist rationalization tend to throw out of their jobs and doom to starvation and death millions upon millions of toilers. Also the employed workers are faced with the threatening danger of being fired. Who is sure of tomorrow? Who can tell as to who may be the victim tomorrow, to be caught by the bony hand of unemploy- ment and cast out of the ranks of the em- ployed? : Only there where the working class, under the leadership of the Communist Party is suc- cessfully building its Socialist Society, only in the Soviet Union the working class is not threat- ened any more with the danger of unemploy- ment. The country of the Soviets is today in the heat of its Socialist construction. The num- ber of factories and mills being built is rapidly growing, industry is extending, ever greater num- bers of working hands are necessary. In the Soviet Union there is no more unem- ployment. The developing Socialist economy has orbed all the reserves of labor power and to- day a shortage of skilled and even unskilled labor power can be felt. In the Soviet Union at the present time the basic task is, not the struggle against unemployment, as the case is in the countries of capital, but to prepare and train fresh cadres, to draw into industry such groups the working-class who up till now have not rked—the wives and children of workers, who por to the revolution had not been given any pire at all in industry. had the unemployed come from in old Czarist Russia? Then the unemployed chiefly came from the village. The exploitation of the peasantry, low productivity of labor, the conti- nuous impoverization of the wide peasant mas- ses—all of this made millions of peasants leave for the towns and increase the ranks of the unemployed armies. But the reconstruction of the agricultural in- dustry into a collectivized footing going on today in the U.S.S.R., significantly decreased the num- ber of idle peasants arriving into the towns. The w collective farms cover much more area than the | former backward individual farms. The collec- tive farms occupy themselves with technical cul- ture, which demands many more workers. And again, the well-being of the peasantry has signi- ficantly grown and is continuing to grow. Thanks to this the number of free working hands in the village decreased and finally, unemployment dis- appeared altogether. The following figures show how the rapid growth of the industry and development of the agricultural industry have brought about the complete liquidation of unemployment in the Soviet Union. In April, 1929, there were still 1,740,000 unem- ployed in the U.S.S.R. By April, 1930, this num- ber decreased to 1,080,000; while by the fall of | 1930 unemployment was in the main liquidated, and the Proletarian State was confronted with | the task of training immediately fresh cadres for the rapidly developing national economy, At the time when in all capitalist countries the numerical strength of the proletariat decrease, from year to year and the number grows of such workers who have lost all hopes for ever getting | any work, in the U.S.S.R. the number of workers | and employees occupied is steadily growing. According to the Five-Year Plan, it was map- ped out that in 1930 the number of workers and employees occupied would amount to 12,800,000; | however, the rapid development of the national | economy led to the fact that already towards the end of 1930 the Soviet proletariat numbered 14,000,000 persons. During the course of 1931, in connection with the further development of the national economy (during this year nearly 500 new large-scale en- terprises will be constructed), two million more workers and employees, including 1,600,000 wo- men, will be drawn into industry. The drawing in of these fresh cadres of work- ers is bound to raise considerably the well-being of the workers. In every family today there are | more than one member, and sometimes several members working, thus the earnings of a work- ing family have greatly increased. The bourgeois and social-fascist press, in their vilification and slander of the U.S.S.R. and the Socialist construction does not stop before any- thing. It indignantly raves about the fact that “the Soviet Power has abolished the system of handing out unemployment relief.” But it fails to note in this connection that there is a simple reason for this, namely that unemployment had | been liquidated. Unemployment relief in the Soviet Union has | actually been done away with. For in the U.S.S.R. | there are no unemployed and no one to give this relief to. Furthermore, there can be no unem- | ployment in the U.S.S.R. also in the future. Along with the degree of development of the Socialist construction the demand for labor power keeps | on steadily growing. ‘The whip of the capitalist world—unemploy- ment—does not threaten the free proletarians of | the Soviet Union. 29,000 Fight tor Bread in Grand Rapids, Mich. By E. B. (One of the 14 Workers Arrested.) RAND RAPIDS, Michigan, is known as the World's Furniture Capital. It is also the railroad, distributing and commercial center of ‘Western Michigan. Its people are mainly Hol- landers and old stock Americans, with many Polish people also. The furniture industry is a very sick industry and at least half of the working population is unemployed. The local estimate is 15,000 or more out of work. Although Grand Rapids workers have been considered backward, the Communist Party Sec- tion and Unemployed Councils have earned a broad mass support of which even the “liberal” faker, George W. Welsh, is mortally afraid. Over 5,000 individual names were collected here for the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill. Local demonstrations have grown from a mere 400 quietly presenting demands to the City Com- mission in December to 3,00 or 4,000 swarming around the City Hall on Jan. 29, demanding the immediate betterment of conditions. The Feb. 10 demonstration of over 10,000 workers, called in support of the National Unemployment In- surance Bill, was smashed and fourteen were arrested, charged with “disorderly conduct,” and held on $200 bond before a packed courtroom. The local bosses, worried more and more about this surging mcvement, gave orders to the legion and police thugs to use every brutality that such elements were able to employ. The American Legion officials, led by the unspeakable Thomas Walsh, tried to scare away workers by open threats in the local newspapers. On Feb. 25 Grand Rapids witnessed the great- est turnout of workers ever seen in this part of the country. Twenty-five thousand workers (a yery conservative estimate) massed about the city hall, completely stopping traffic for blocks around, eager to support the organizations lead- ing the fight for adequate cash relief. Alfred Bissell, young unemployed worker and ® member of the Feb. 10 delegation to Washing- ton, climbed a railing and began to speak. At the same time the “liberal” city manager, Walsh, gave orders to smash the demonstration.

WERFUL banking support” is backing the new management of the American Woolen Co., according to the Boston Financial News, weekly dope journal for speculators and inves- tors, in its issue of Feb. 24, 1931. While the workers have walked out against the speed-up system and the “efficiency” men, this organ, serving the capitalists with news on profitable investenents, tells of the “revivified and reju- venates” American Woolen Co. that promises to pile up Sigher profits than ever for its absentee stockholders. It predicts that the preferred stock of the company, now selling around $34 a share on the New York Stock Exchange, will “eventually” sell for $50 or more. Amd the “ex- cessive, obsolete and obsolescent equipment” is being replaced by the latest high speed machin- ery that will throw workers out of jobs. While closing down some of its plants the company is reported to be working its Webster, Mass., mill night and day. This is the typical practice under capitalist rationalization. j Although the “reorganization” of the com- peny’s finances is still “a dark secret” this sheet ‘reports that it is going to end with the pros- pects of profit greatly improved. charging automobilés amd blackjacks, began their ugly work of béatihg and jailing militant workers in the crowd. All those arrested were | severely.beaten up, both at the time of arrest | and in the police station. Eleven men and three women were thrown into jail. A police car was nearly overturned by work- ers, enraged and made indignant by the brutal | answer of the city government to their de- mand for decent relief instead of charity in- | sults and a stinking flophouse. | One worker, suffering from shocks and horrors | of the world war and denied any compensation | by the government, held over his head a placard demanding payment of the soldiers’ “tombstone” bonus immediately. A Legion self-appointed rat seized him and attracted a swarm of police and stools, who beat the worker veteran unmerci- fully and finally threw him in a cell screaming in agony from the effects of a blackjack wound over the ear. One woman worker, nearly 50 years old, was brutally punched about the ab- domen so that she was sick all the following night and fearful of a rupture. One young woman was pulled by her hair into a police car. All three women arrested were forced to sleep in a cell with a toilet in plain view of the degenerate police, Three of those arrested were among those held on $200 bond since the Feb. 10 demonstra- tion of 10,000 in this city, at which 14 were ar- rested. One of these, a young worker, is a patient at the Blodgett Hospital, who, neverthe- less, was punched unmercifully about the head in the police station and lost a lot of blood as a result of it. Many different reports have come that the National Guard, which is made up mostly of young workers, refused to aid the police, on the ground that their own parents were unemployed and that they would not fight against their own people. The police force and American Legion have become objects of contempt and disgust on the part of the workers in Grand Rapids. Their blackjacks and fists have opened up a new era of militancy on the part of workers that they will soon have cause to regret. American Woolen was for many years a gold mine for its stockholders, and its president, Wil- liam Wood, during the war and post-war years milked the company of millions of dollars. In Labor and Textiles Dunn and Hardy white that “the salary of William M. Wood, late president of the American Woolen Co., was about $1,000,- 000 a year, while additional amounts were drawn out of the company’s treasury to pay his per- sonal income tax, and other large sums paid directly or indirectly to his henchmen, espe- cially in the selling end of the business.” ‘The company has also been very clever in con- cealing it real profits, covering them up by all sorts of crooked devices. In a recent book, “They Told Barron,” which is a series of inside confi- dential conversations of the former owner of the Wall Street Journal with various financial robber barons, these methods of the American Woolen Co. are openly admitted. Barron rec- ords in his diary ® conversation he had with William Wood on Aug. 12, 1922. Wood said: “American Woolen Co. showed $9,000,000 net last year, but really made $14,000,000. Our Policy this year will be to show as little prof- its as possible. If you show big carnings you will never get them; aac ae ae ‘i ie tes «oir a as Unemployed Workers Should Get Along On ‘95 c. A Week or Less’, Says Writer on World-Telegram NEW YORK. — That an unemployed worker can live on “95 cents a week or less” and that this “starvation fare (is) an accepted thing” among the hundreds of thousands of New York City’s starving unemployed workers and their families, is the theme of an article in Tuesday's New York World-Telegram, one of the papers of the “liberal” Scripps-Howard group, which has been attempting to fool the workingclass with a fake call for unemployment relief—at the work- ers’ expense. The article cynically adds that “one fellow by the name of ‘Butch’ something or other couldn't, and the morgue got him”. Thé article deals with the miserable conditions of thousands of homeless unemployed workers who, thrown out of their jobs and their homes by the bosses, have built up rude shelters of pack- ing cases under the Brooklyn bridge. A photographic reproduction of one of these shacks is printed in this issue. With coarse comedy and callous cynicism the | World-Telegram writer carefully covers up the appaling misery of these destitute workers, many of whom were forced by conditions to break up their homes and abandon their families on the grounds that their wives and. children would have a trifle better chance without an extra mouth to feed. As an example of the cynicism of the World-Telegram writer: “With good management in the jungle of wooden boxes and rusty tin exactly under the Brooklyn bridge, at the edge of the river, a man | can not only live, but be in the upper social stratum of his community, and give handouts to the needy on less than 15 cents a day.” And again: “It’s a boy’s ideal of a game, this shanty town under the bridge. Except that when night comes or when it rains, or sometimes when the river backs up through the sewer and floods the place, there is no home of warm beds and a good din- ner to return to.... “The shacks for the most part are about the size of a piano box, protected at least on the north and west because most of the winds come from there, with a fire smoking on the open side.” And now, the World-Telegram writer gives his idea of how a jobless worker can live in these dog kennels on “95 cents a week or less” In the comfort of his steam heated office and with a full belly, the bourgeois writer gives the following “solution” for the millions of workers starving throughout the country: “And so if a man can raise as much as 95 cents a week, he may enjoy a varied diet. in- cluding luxuries and moments of exhilaration | above his fellows. He ma spend it this way: “One quart of milk, 8 cents. even Grade B—Ed.) But it is a white fluid that comes in a milk bottle. (Emphasis ours.—Ed.)

Now you have used up 64 cents.” | And now comes his idea of Juxuries—that is, luxuries for the working class: poison booze in’) which to drown their misery. “Luxuries come in here.

Fewer contributions were received in the last few days than at any time during the drive.”—New York Telegram, March 3, 1931. eye te By HARRISON GEORGE GAIN the farmers of Arkansas, this time at the town of McCrory, have demonstrated col- lectively and successfully against being starved to death by capitalism. And again the capital- ast press has suppressed this news, all the while falsely stating that the Red Cross was eiving “adequate” relief. On February 28, from information reaching the Daily Worker, local papers—clippings of which were sent by some farmer who neglected to say from what paper they ‘were taken—state that a “tense situation developed” at McCrory, “when a throng of men, mostly farmers, surged through the main part of town, seeking food.” This, says the clipping: “...followed the sus- pension of regular drouth relief measures by the American Red Cross.” It is admitted that with the issue of food orders on February 15, the Red Cross brutally stated that there would be no more food. Thus the farmers and starving wage workers are literally and officially starved to death. “There was no violence,” says the local paper, “but it became evident that relief measures must be provided if trouble was to be avoided. There were from 150 to 200 farmers on the streets and these gathered at 2 o'clock in @ sort of mass ing, at which resolutions were drawn up, de- manding that the men and their families be given relief immediately. “Red Cross leaders here, and merchants, sen- sing that some action must be taken, got in touch with headquarters at Little Rock and the county chairman at Cotton Plant. The result was an order that all persons who had no means of obtaining food should be provided for, at least for the time being, or ‘until they could make other arrangement At the same time, the Daily Worker received a letter from Combs, Ark., from a farmer, saying that: Experiences in New York Hunger March Dear Comrades: I was in the hunger march on February 25 that started at Rutgers Square and proceeded to the demonstration at Union Square and I sist upon an advance in wages.” ours—-L, R. A.) American Woolen is still using’ Wood’s meth- ‘ods to conceal profits and the huge salaries of its executives. The rigging of its capitalization, which is now being carried out by the Boston and New York bankers, will place it ina posi- tion where it can still fool its workers as to its profits while driving them more intensively with its new machinery and efficiency systems.

This is nothing less than getting money under false. pretenses, and is a felony «under capitalist Jaw. But capitalism not only makes, but administers its laws, and the Red Cross is a part of cap- italism. It is an organization which, under the mask of “charity” is organized to give aid to American capitalism in war. In this case, it is a war against the workers and poor starving farmers ‘of Am- erica itself, in defense ‘of capitalist money-bags | from the taxes necessary*to keep: starving toilers "| alive. The capitalist government says that feeding the starving is the business of the Red’ Cross. ‘The Red Cross appeals in the name of the stary- ing for $10,000,000. “That will be ample,” says Warburton.

Examiner and Chicago Evening Against Exaggeration A Letter from Chicago February 28, 1931. Daily Worker, New York, N. Y. Dear Comrades: ‘In the last Daily Worker of February 27 there is an editorial “Against Exaggeration.” We greet this editorial which in a bolshevik manner, pub- against all kinds of exaggeration. We are fully in agreement that the practice of deceiving the workers and deceiving ourselves is imperinissible, and \shows irresponsible .approach toward the working class. ‘This practice of exaggeration is general. We.are guilty of it in Chicago as well. We exaggerated the figures of our previous de- monstrations, such as May 1 and August 1. ‘We changed this recently and our estimate of 12,000; February 10, as 5,000; and February 25, as 10,000.is a very conservative estimate and there is not the slightest exaggeration. We also did our best to impress on the section committees throughout the district not to exaggerate. All reports from our district regarding the results of the February 25 demonstrations are correct, and are a, conservative estimate as to the num- ber participating. This exaggeration as the editorial correctly states is remnants of factional methods of.re- ports, but also it is an attempt to substantiate spectacular imaginary figures for real hard work, and leads to wrong political estimation. * We are of the opinion that the Daily Worker should publically correct all wrong figures given ‘for demonstrations, as it was done in the case ‘of Houston and New York: Surely it is imper- missible when in New York on February 10, we did*not have more than 7,000, the report was 15,000. Workers seeing these exaggerated figures begin to believe that when correct figures are given from other cities they are also wrong. Comradely yours, B. K, GEBERT District organizer P. S—By the way, the capitalist newspapers Post “accidentally” also gave 10,000 as the num- _ ber of workers participating in the demonstration on February 25. Organize Unemployed Councils! By JORGE | Hoover Hay Hoover’s famous “Employment Commission” having followed the ground hog into the hole, awaiting the command of its master to come forth arid do some tricks to keep your mind off of real food, the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Agricultural Department is now broad- | casting advice to the hungry. Its first brilliant suggestion is a new bulle- tin, is that all who are starving should eat | weeds (regular meadow grass is apparently re- served for livestock as per Secretary Hyde's or- ders). The Bureau recommends such weeds as pigweed, lamb’s quarter (no, this is not meat, but a weed!), dock weed, pokeweed and—if you don’t mind a sore throat—nettles! “Probably,” it adds, “many other weeds less widely known. . . , may be eaten.” This is too. generous! We suspect that there is a “dole-weed” that must be avoided as poison- ous. In wooded country, we suggest that, the hungry can play squirrel and live in the trees on the leaves. There are a few wisps of grass around the base of sagebrush and greasewood for the desert dwellers. A diet of pussy-willows | varied with sandburs to ensure roughage is a perfect combination. In all cases the government advises that starv- ing but loyal citizens do not scrutinize their fodder too closely, a few caterpillars, June-bugs and an occasiopal, worm give a meaty flavor, the necessary protein balance and Vitamin ‘x’, It is recommended by the government, that really loyal citizens should observe the cow and Jearn to stow away ensilages in good times, to, regurgitate it as prescribed by Herbert Spencer, and chew the cud in times of “depression,” thus occupying the mouth with hay instead of sedi-, tion. While it is true that for the unemployed of great cities the pasture is confined to nibbling park grasses while keeping one eye on the cops, yet even in such cities as Chicago, for example, there is loco-weed in abundance around the city hall, and any number of churches where a starv- ing man may take advantage of divine guidance into “green pastures.” oes 4 Oh, Look ’t the Dumping! =? “A feeling of consternation,” says the N. YR Times correspondent in Paris, “developed in the second European’ grain conference when i learned that the United States Farm Board had decided to sell 35,000,000 bushels of wheat in Continental markets at a price considerably be- low that maintained at home. “When the heads of the various delegations partly recovered from their astonishment, keen interest was the reaction to the move charac- terized as ‘American dumping” on a scale com- parable with that of Russia.” ‘The correspondent goes on to say that dele- gates “hesitated to believe the American Gov ernment” would do such a thing, which, hs says, “does not differ from the Soviet selling methods which are widely denounced in the United States.” ‘The editor of the N.Y, Times was hardput to get around this, and had to rush into print in an editorial to try to make this real dumping appear to “ditfer” from what the Times has been calling that when Soviet exports were mentioned. So the Times’ said that “probably” there had been “a request” for “wheat of higher grade as neither Russia nor various other com) foreign growers can produce.” Which is a simple damned lie, because wheat! produced in the Soviet Union is of the highest quality, equal to any wheat in the world, and better than most. As the Times’ own correspon- dent revealed when he said that “Russian high protein wheat” is sold in Europe for “about ten cents a bushel under the price of the best Cana- dian product.” And he adds: “If the American board desires to compete with the Russians it will have to undersell Canada.” Meanwhile, of course, the price of bread in America is kept sky high, but the American farmers do not get the benefit. It cost them an average of $1.24 a bushel to raise. The grain gamblers paid them from 40 cents to 60 cents for it, The Farm Board bought it from the specu- lators in the Chicago wheat pit at prices rang- ing from $1.25 down to 73 cents—“to stabilize the market and help the farmers.” It is now quoted at 79 cents in Chicago. Now the Farm Board is‘ dumping 35,000,000 bushels into Europe at a price below Canadian wheat which is quoted at Winnipeg at 60 cents, while millions of American workers are hungry because bread costs now the same as it did when wheat was $2:25 or more a bushel, If that is not real genuine dumping, what is? Incidentally, we understand that the wheat exported from the Soviet Union, costs it be- tween 28 cents and 40 cents to raise; there are no loads of landlords’ rent or bankers’ and speculators’ profits to run up the price; it has a short haul to Western Europe also. So it is not “dumping.” But the U. S. Farm Board cer- tainly is! * 8 «@ From the “Examin-’er” The Los Angeles “Examiner” is snpoping around trying hard to locate something to hang @ “prosperity is coming back” story goes on. Its front page on Feb. 21 carries a three column’ photo of ladies’ legs with the caption: “Baroe meter for Prosperity.” The proportion of skirt to leg, according to William Randolph Hearst's “economists,” 1s in ine verse ratio to prosperity. And the Examiner proceeds to quote an “expert,” Professor Baker Brownell of Northwestern University, who in ® lecture stated the following: “When skirts grow longer, an economic de- pression is approaching .
