IN- TWO SECTIONS SECTION ONE Vol. VIII. No. 208 Dail Central - Te Section of the Communist International) Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at New York, N. Y., under the act of March 3, 1579 Ss NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1931 “This Final Difficulty” R. MARION PHILLIPS, chief woman officer of the British “Labor” Party, we are told-by a London dispatch to the N. Y. Times of August 28, has “spoken her mind” about the new coalition government. The lady “socialist” declared. that the MacDonald “Labor” govern- ment should have resigned, instead of giving in to the bankers, and then she goes on to say: “I quite recognize that the bankers have no hostility to a Labor government as such. Their hostility is to the continuance of the’ cardinal features of the Labor.policy in securing work or mainten- ance for the unemployed. Eyery socialist party in every country comes some day to this final difficulty.” In short, this confession of bankruptcy of “socialist” reformism dlainly says that the “socialist” parties have nothing to offer to the work- ing Class, because their masters are the bankers, and whenever the bankers wish, they put-any “socialist” party out of control of govern- ment, just as easily as they put them in—and both for the same reason, to support capitalist interests against working class interests. While this admission ought to be clear enough, coming from “social- ist” sources as it does, the capitalists themselves quite freely acclaim the “socialist” parties as handy tools against the workers. ‘Thus, after re- ferring to the false pretension of “socialists” that they uphold the in- terests of the working class against editorial writer. boasts: the capitalist class, the N. Y. Times “Socialist practice, however, has, as a rule, departed widely from class-war doctrine. . . The World War brought overwhelming proof. Everywhere the great majority of socialists stood with their *bourgeois’ countrymen for the national welfare. Only a few months ago the spokesman for the Reichstag Socialists justified their co- operation with the Bruening Government and their acceptance of sacrifices for the working class.” Thus the action of MacDonald has excellent precedent areachery of the German “socialists.” in the Workers everywhere should un- derstand by these examples, that “every socialist party in every country” as admitted by the lady “socialist” of Britain, is bound to be a party of treason to the working class, of fine words and foul deeds, a party of fascism perfumed with empty pretensions of interest in the workers. In their small way, the American “socialists” have given illustration of this for themselves. Unemployed workers, starving and demanding bread, have been clubbed in the “socialist” ruled city of Milwaukee as brutally as in any capitalist ruled city in this country, and betrayed no less brazenly in the “socialist” city of Reading, Pennsylvania. True, the American capitalists have not thought it necessary yet to place the American “socialists” into higher seats of power, but when they do, the workers will certainly receive the same lesson as in Germany and England. Let them learn in advance from these examples that no gov- ernment can represent their interests as a class but a Workers’ and Farmers’ Soviet Government, and that to establish such, it is neces- saty to overthrow the governmental rule of the capitalist class, even though it be headed by a party of deceit and treachery that calls itself “socialist.” NTWU Exposes AFL Sellout Program to All Strikers UTW-Associated Fakers Prepare Ground for Attempt to Sell Out Strikers PATERSON, N. J., Aug. 28.—At the meeting of the A. F. of L, unions last night the sell out which had been planned was temoprarily postponed due to the exposure of the plans by the United Front General Strike Committee and the NTWU. They only laid the groundwork for the sell- out at last night’s meeting. In order to bring the program of unity of. the United Front General Strike Committee to the strikers of the UTW-Associated unions a delega- tion of 15 workers went to the meet- ing: The officials of the AFL unions refused the délegation permission to enter and referred them to the strike committee meeting. At the meeting itself a motion was Introduced to reject the offer of the manufacturers for 5 cénts for 60 picks. This.is the preparatory step for a sell out of the workers at only a slight increase ‘over the 5 cents which would be quite acceptable to the manufacturers. The motion also included @ vote of confidence in their general strike committeé and author- ized the strike committee to carry on negotiations in all other strike ac- tivities. Gitlow supported this sell out motion from the floor. In order to prevent any of the workers from showing theif opposition to the mo- tion, no discussion from the floor was permitted. Must Combat Sell Outs. The NTWU and the United Front General Strike Committee has issued a statement analyzing this maneuver on the part of the A. F. of L. leaders and exposing it to all the strikers. The leaflet calls for a militant fight hon the part of the workers against this sellout. A resolution is being pre~ pared which. will be presented to the [workers in the shops condemning the sellout and the maneuver will be ex- posed further -by a series of strike rallies to mobilize the workers against it. At the mass meeting this morrling a striking member of the UTW took the floor and showed that the ma- neuvér last night was quite similar to that in which the Allentown sell- out was prepared. Five hundred workers were kept out of the hall last night. This UTW member urged the workers to carry this message to al) of the strikers. In every settlement that the UTW has made, its treachery to the work- érs in the shops is evident. Today another fake settlement was exposed.

BANKERS RAISE “RED” CRY NEW YORK—A large bank with over $9,5000,000 in deposits, closed its doors heré Friday, especially hitting thousands of the poorest depositors among the working class section on the East Side. The Bank of Europe Trust Co., and its subsidiary, the Bank of Europe Safe Deposit Co., closed with the usual statement that they were “preserving assets.” Every time bankers rob a bank like they did in the Bank of United States, they issue this ‘sort of statement to keep back organized action for the return of their depésits on the part of the small depositors. Bankers, Cops For Frame-Up. CHICAGO, Aug. 27. — Preparing excuses now in the event that any banks close up. or in the face of a repetition ef the v bank filures here cf a fé mentus aco. e220 bankers are acting to frame- workers on “rumor” charges. _ Tact time that banks failed in Chi- _ cago, with big politicians involved, Workers weré jailed on trumped, up charges. Now O. A: Mather, financial editor of the Chicago Tribune reports that “Chicago bankers have received in- formation of a Communist plot to bring on a renewal of bank troubles.” The big bank heads who usually are involved in the bank failures con- sider a “plot” when the Daily Work- et reports the fact that more banks with greater sums involved have failed thus far this year than in the same period ever before in American history. Mather reports one of the bankers as saying: “As the result of the in- formation we received, we have joined the police in keeping a care- ful check on Communist activities.” The same financial writer also adds that one of the worries of the bankers and why they now direct po- lic? ectivities against Communists is because the fact that wage cuts are coming in the steel industry is mak- ing the Chicago steel workers restive and ready for struggle. GREEN URGES WAGE SLASH IN FAKE PLEA Predicts 40 Percent Increase in Jobless in Coming Winter Spread Stagger Plan AFL Misleaders Help Plan Gifford Attack Within a week after his appoint- ment to the Hoover-Gifford commit- tee Bill Green, president of the American Federation of Labor has come out with a speech demanding a renewed drive for the spreading of the Hoover stagger plan. The reason for this announcement of Green so soon after his appoint- ment to the committee is the fear he and the bankers have of the mili- tancy of the unemployed and em-~- ployed this coming winter when the crisis will have become sharpened acutely. Green himself admits that there will be a 40 per cent increase in the number of unemployed this winter. Ee predicts an increase of 2,000,000 over his present false estimate of 5,100,000. At the present time there are over 10,000,000 unemployed work- ers in the country. On the same basis of an increase of 40 per cent that Green admits, there will be 4,000,000 more jobless this winter than at pre- sent, or a total of over 14,000,000. Even if the increase is only the 2,- 000,000 that Green says, there will be over 12,000,000 unemployed workers this winter. In the face of this mass increase of the number of unemployed, Green makes a plea for the bosses to put millions more on the Hoover stagger system. He wants wage cuts put across by “shortening work hours and dividing available jobs among all.” This is the plan of attack on the living standards of the working class by the capitalist class and, their agents in the Gifford committes— Green and Matt Woll. While the attack is being levelled against wages by the Hoover stagger plan the Gifford committee, with its two representatives of the A. F. of L., came out also, as was pointed out in yesterday’s Daily Worker, for a slash- ing of the wage rates of the workers. The Gifford-Hoover-Green program for wage cuts as stated in the Times of August 27 was the following: “The new relief organization has discontinued the practice which was carried on by the former emergen- cy committee of urging all indus- trial employers not to resort to wage-cuts as a means of retrench- ment.” Against this attack the working class must organize to strike. Organ- ize to strike against wage cuts and speed up. Fight for unemployment insurance and immediate relief. Only by a united struggle of the employed and unemployed can the attack of the bosses and the AFL leadership be repelled. ED eae ANOTHER FASCIST GROUP HARTFORD, Conn.—A group of business men and their hangers-on filed papers here for a new organiza- tion called the American Association for the Militant Combat of Atheism and Communism. The “militant” combatants are mobilizing to aid the big employers put across wage cuts and prepare for strike-breaking Workers 314 WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. — Three cents an hour and seven full days and nights on the job, are the condi- tions offered labor here by a local boss concern, according to an admis- sion in the boss paper, The Winston- Salem Journal, which reports: “Labor at three and a hafl cents an hour sounds like Chinese wages. “But that figure is exactly what was offered by a well-known Win- ston-Saiem warehouse man to American labor, for which he ap- plied through the City Employment » Bureau. “The local warehouse man called the Employment Bure2zu and asked for a man who could fill the re- quirement of a watchman on a job that would last until the opening of the tobacco market. A watch- man—a white man—was dispatch- ed to the warehouse, but returned a short while later. He said he could not afford to work for the price Ulbricht Tells of the| Gain of Communism (Cable By Inprecorr.) BERLIN, Aug. 28.—There was 2 general roll call of members of revolutionary organizations in Berlin on Thursday. The Com- munist Party, the Young Com- munist League and the revolu- tionary trade union opposition participated. Over 15,000 workers crowded the Sport Palace, Enor- mous police detachments were present and searched all for weapons on the streets. Comrade Ulbrich, the main speaker, stressed the triumphant advance of Communism, The audience was enthusiastic. GIFFORD GROUP ATTACK IS AIDED BY MUSTEITE Appeals to Hoover to “Purify” Committee The Muste outfit has joined the Gifford committee’s attack on the standard of living of the working class, They have not done this of- ficially, but unofficially through the secretary of the Brotherhood of Brooklyn Edison Employees—a Muste-controlled union, The secre- tary, S. Levich, has come out in the capitalist press demanding the resig- nation of Matthew Sloan from the Gifford committee. Matthew Sloan is the president: of the Brooklyn Edison Co. and is no- torious as one of the worst wage- cutters and speed-up drivers. Le- vich wants this capitalist taken’ off of the Gifford committee because ‘he does not measuré up to the quali- fications necessary for such a posi- tion. The committee should, says Levich, “command respect for its honesty and sincerity of purpose.” But the presence of Sloan, who fired 2,000 workers in March°and June, on this committee is a stain on the “honesty and sincerity” of the com- mittee as a whole. “Levich wants" the Brooklyn Ed- ison and other workers to’ believe that the Gifford committee is acting in the interests of the working class. He tries to hide from the work- ers the fact that the Gifford com- mittee is the driving force in the sharpened attack on the wages of the workers and against the demands for relief of the unemployed workers. This Musteite shows in yet another way that he is nothing but an agent of the bosses in the ranks of the working class. His appeal for the removal of wage-cutter Sloan ‘is ad- dressed to the chief of the general staff in the attack on the working class—President Hoover. He appeals to the chief of the wage-cutting at- tack to throw one of the wage-cut- ters off of the committee. Carpenters Officials Put Over Cut in Balti. BALTIMORE, Md.—The mislead- ers of the carpenters local here took the initiative in cutting the wages of the carpenters and opening the wedge for a wage cutting on all building trades workers here, when they accepted a cut from $1.10 to $1 for the members of their locals. The Building Trades Council will discuss a similar move for all other crafts with an eye to pleasing the employers in putting over the wage cuts through the offices of the unions. Winston-Salem Boss Ofters Cents an Hour offered—t6 a week. The job re- quired him to remain on guard at the warehouse day and night, seven days a week. He wasn’t that desti- tute, he said. “Another man was that destitute, however, for the job was filled = short time later on those terms, it was learned.” That workers are destitute éndugh to be forced to =ccept such conditions is the direct and planned result of the fight against social insurance by the bosses, the government and the fascist leadership of the A. F. of L. The destitution and misery of the more than ten million unemployed workers is being used throughout the country to force down the standard of living of the American workers. The workers, employed and unem- ployed, Negro and white, must unite in militant struggle for immediate relief, social insurance, stopping of evictions and for unconditional equal rights for the Negro masses.

It calls for 2 temporary suspension of the na- tional debt and sinking fund, the taxing of. unearned incomé and re- ducing the war debts.

Ramsay MacDonald, the other labor membérs ‘of the National gov- erhment of Britain dnd the ledder- ship of the so-called opposition’ in the Sabor party is clearly shown by the “opposition” manifesto issued on Wednesday against ‘the new pre a government. “The Trade Union Councit cA the labor - party * executive direct their main “attack against “financial inter- ests” whose plans are “unjust and economically unsound” and who want to increase the present crisis of cap- italism. - At the same time the “op- position” states that’ “the forces of labor are vitally coficerned with the national . interest.” “repeating Mac- Donald's words.
