DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, DEC EMBER 28, 1931 ee Page Three JOBLESS MOVEMENT 4 f ‘ iia GROWS IN ENGLAND AS CRISIS DEEPENS Hunger Increases Throughout England As New Tariff Bill Sends Prices Soaring TenThousand London Families Pledge to Carry On Fight Against High Rent Daily Worker :— London, England. I have been staying in London before going to the Soviet Union. I thought you might be interested in a picture of England as seen by an American worker. Before I left America, unemployment was on the down curve here “due to the stim the dropping of the gold standard.” I learned from talking to the conditions carefully. Prices Increase. With the introduction of the new tariff bill the prices of food stuffs and other necessary goods for the masses have increased. Conditions are utterly appalling. The peoples’ faces are pinched; they. look hungry; they wear clothes so shabby that one wonders how they can keep warm. The average wage is now $7 to $8 per week, Money buys much less than for- merly. Prices before the present price ric- were 40 per cent above pre-war. Another significant fea ure is the great number of prosti- tutes, women neatly but shabbily dressed soliciting men on the streets for a shilling. Gain In Unemployment. Unemployment has been increasing rather rapidly. The joker is this: the official list consists of only those who are legally entitled to some form of government relief. The thing that has happened is this: the govern- ment as a result of the Anamalies Bill and the Means Test has been striking scores of thousands from the ulation of business caused by The following is what English people and observing & lists. Take the case of married wo- men. The Evening Express, a Roth- ermere (like our Hearst) paper de- |clared that of 80,000 cases, 70,000 of them were declarcd not deserving of unemployment relief. This is just the begining of a report that will effect hundreds of thousands of job- less workers. All this is done in the name of economy. Jobless Movement Grows. A word on the activities of the | Communist Party. It is increasing | its strength rapidly, having doubled | its membership,in the last three months. The Barty has organized Tenant Councils, which have been resisting evictions. The Tenant Councils fought evictions along an entire street, the struggle involving over 300 families. The London Tenants are being or- ganized to fight for a 25 per cent re- duction in rent. Ten thousands ‘families have pledged to carry on this fight. The unemployed move- ment has about 40,000 paying mem- bers. There are 100,000 all told in the movement. ~—Robert Julien Kenton. Silver Store Employees Go Hungry (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—I am a young wo- man in the employ of the Silver Store. The working conditions are something awful here. We have to work 10 hours and don’t get enough to eat. Some girls work 6 hours for $1.00 and they are so hungry that they hhaye to eat food that they bring in from the tables. My left arm is so sore from carrying my tray that I am not sure that I can go on another day. We are not allowed to put the tray down on the table. When one is sick and doesn’t come to work for one day she is docked for two days’ pay. There are all sorts of silly ads on the tables telling all kinds of lies. The whole system is rotten from top to bottom. We working girls must organize against this slavery, Build the Food Workers Industrial Union in all of the food shops. Soviet Farm Hands (By a Worker Correspondent) MOSCOW, USSR.—I am now working in the domain of socialist reconstruction of agriculture. In the district of Dniepropetrovsk all- around collectivization is carried out. ‘We are developing here now many dairies, swine-breeding farms and mechanizing all the farms in con- nection with the starting of the greatest electricity works in the world —Dnieprostroi. All in the Dniepro- petrovsk district is accomodated for the electrification. Our cooperative shops are excel- lently mastering the task of supply- Master New Technic ing our population with the victuals and staple commodifies. There is no necessity for our population to go to the private shopkeeper, because we can get all at the cheap prices in the cooperative shops. In connection with the mechcanization of agricul- ture the life of our peasantry became considerably easier and they don’t regret, that there are no more land- owners. Our women as well as the men, are longing to master tHe tech- nique and the science. Even the psychology of old men is changing it- self. ‘The theories of Karl Marx, En- gels and Lenin are being put into practise here. “Relief” Committee Jim-Crows Negro Woman ~ (By a Worker Correspondent) WILMINGTON, Del.—The May- or’s Relief Committee has been her- alded far and wide by the capltalist press for the great “relief” work it is doing among the unemployed here. With joyful shouts the Wilmington press tells how unemployed women being “relieved” by being given jobs sewing at the old telephone building on Sixth Street. The whole fake plan was exposed, however, by a colored woman who recently went down to the U. S. Em- ployment Office and asked for one of the sewing jobs. When the Negro woman asked for the job, she was told by the bureau- cratic employment agent “No indeed, there will be no colored women get- ting a job sewing at the Telephone Building. If we were going to give you @ job it would be scrubbing and washing. And you are not likely to get that.” There are at the present time about 100 white women, carefully picked, sewing in the Telephone Building. - The money is contributed by various’ individuals and mostly workers whose wages have been taxed for the purpose. A group of society women and self-seeking poli- ticlans are running the sewing circle. The sewing is done by hand and is supposed to go to hospitals. Michigan Farmers Stop Sheriff Sale (By a Worker Corespondent) ONTONAGON, Mich.—Last fall a state police station was established at Houghton, Mich, on highway number 26, This was done supposedly to arrest drunken drivers. These police who are in reality, copper trust police to terrorize the travellers |/ and also the workers and farmers throughout Ontanagon, Baraga and Houghton counties. If your car headlight burns out on the road, they fine you four or five dollars without & hesitating. . On Dec. 15, 150 farmers and un- employed workers marched to the Ontonagon county courthouse where the supervisors’ meeting was being we They forced the county offl- als to grant a 15 do “layoff” to fhe sheriff's sale of Fred Saubert’s farm. This was the third demonstra- tion against farm forc2losures. The state police wre present each time, put this time the farmers were more militant than before and enthusias- tic over the victory. The speakers exposed the sheriff and his body- guard, the state police. .Atter the farmers and workers tarched out of the courthouse the state police followed the speakers. A guard was ely organized. When the police i on follow- ing, several carloads of farmers star- Your “affairs” Your demonstrations in the Unite to Free 9 Innocent Scottsboro Boys! Smash the Murder Terror in the South! (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) forms only for the purpose of aiding the legal lynching of the boys. The purpose will be to quiet down and pacify the many hundreds of thousands of Negroes and of black and white workers who have been aroused by the Com- munist Party, the League of Struggle for Negro Rights and the International’ Labor Defense to protest against this intended murder of innocent children. The court will consider whether or not it will pay the landlords and capitalists of the South to go straight ahead and murder these boys in defiance of the aroused anger of the masses, or whether it would be better policy to hold off this cold-blooded butchery so as to avoid arousing the masses to further fury. ‘Will the nine innocent Negro boys be burned to death on the electric chair? Will the lynch- ers’ court at Montgomery declare on January 18 that the nine innocent boys must be burned to death on the electric chair? This is the question to be answered, not by the Court of Lynchers, but by the toiling masses of black and white men and women and youth who have the power to save them. The answer will be given, and the decision really made, by the degree of the militancy and courage of the over- whelming numbers of toilers who will come into the streets ‘to show their anger against this beastlybutchery. To save these innocent boys means eqpecially, to mobilize the masses of white workers and working farmers against the white ruling class which is committing the murder! It means to arouse the Negro and white masses against the wave of bloody terror now sweeping through the South. It means fighting with the greatest courage and energy against the whole- sale lynching that is spilling the blood of work- ing people for the benefit of the parasite class. It means really summoning the masses of white in one solid front and throw back this wave of terror, They must stand togegther and refuse to permit their ranks to be divided—one of the main purposes of ery of “rape” and ALL at- tacks on Negroes by the murder agencies of American capitalism and its Hoover-Wall Street government, It means that the Scottsboro case and the struggle against the whole hunger and terror program of the Southern ruling class must be placed in the very center of the strike of Negro and white miners in Kentucky and the unity of the white and black workers and exploited farm- ers welded in a huge mass struggle against Southern terrorism. It means a struggle for the elementary rights of all workers, Negro and white, to organize, meet, strike, a struggle for free speech and free assemblage, a struggle against the whole starvation and war program of American imperialism which, in the Black Belt, uses as one of its main weapons of oppres- sion wholesale secret and open murder and or- ganized lynching of Negroes. The masses in the industries and the millions of unemployed thrown on the streets to starve will settle this issue! Millions of workers can and must be set in motion! The fight to save these sons of our people is the fight of the white working class as well as those of the Negro masses, It is the fight against the common op- pressor. The efforts made so far to save the lives and Hberties of the nine Scottsboro boys have not been strong enough. Ten times bigger demon- strations must be organized, In every city and town—organize and call out | the masses of workers to demonstrate their de- termination to save these nine innocent boys.

Pre- sident Montero, a close friend of Wall Street bankers, is mobilizing troops to shoot down the hungry workers. and peasants led by the Communist Party of Chile, Chile 1s owned by the Gug- genheims and Standard Oil, who are responsible for the murder and hun- ger program. On Christmas day, 20 workers and several solddiers were killed when the masses siezed the army barracks at Copiapo. Other outbreaks were re- ported in the province of Atacama. On Dec. 26, a thousand fascist rifle- men raided the Communist headquar/ ters in Santiago in an attempt to smash preparations for a mass meet- ing called to protest the hunger pro- gram of the Chilean government. A working women’s meeting was raided. Hundreds of arrest were made. A manifesto issued by the Commu- nist Party of Chile, a reprent of which is contained in the Associated Press dispatches, declares the workers and peasants are fighting for the fol- lowing demands: “Amnesty for those who took part in the September revolt; amnesty for the leaders of the disturbance yesterday in Atacama province; mi- nimum salary of 84 cents a day, or payment of a 60-cents unemploy- ment insurance daily by the gov- ernment or by the capitalists; with- drawals of soldiers from unemploy- ment camps; no new income or wage taxes on the employed: dis- solution of the Cosach Nitrate Com- pany and expropriation without in- demnity of the nitrate industry; dissolution of Congress; and protest against the policies of former Pre- sident Carlos Ibanes which the pre- sent government continues. ‘The recent mass demonstrations in Chile grow out of the terrible con- ditions enforced on the Chilean work- ers and peasants, not only by the present fascist regime, but by British and American imperialists, who de- mand the economic life of Chile. Un- employment is ravaging the whole population. On Sept. 1, the horrible lot of the Chilean masses led to a mutiny in the navy. Five thousand Chilean sailors siezed the Navy and demanded immediate relief for the unemployed, and @ division of the large landed estates among the pea- j{sants. The.mutiny was supported by several uprisings in the cities, but due to lack of thorough organization of the sailors, the mutineers finally capi- tulated. Despite the reign of terror which followed, the Communist Party con- tinued its organization and agitation, mobilizing the impoverished masses in a struggle for bread and land, and against imperialist domination. The new struggles are signs of growing re- volutionary ferment throughout Latin America.

RED CANDIDATE ASSAILS CITY HUNGER PROGRAM Ford ‘Appears Before Cleveland Commis- sion and Demands Relief CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 27.—A terrific indictment of the mass star- vation and lack of relief for unem- ployed workers in this city was de- livered before the Cleveland City Unemployment Commission, Dec. 23, by 1. O. Ford, Communist, candidate for mayor. Ford quoted thé figures of the As- sociated Charities and the Jewish Social Service to show that no relief whatever was given this year to two- thirds of Cleveland’s 30,000 destitute families. He told of the accumulation of $6,000,000 in the Community Fund, by picking pennies from the pockets of those who still have jobs, and cited the fund’s directors as saying that only a fourth of this was scheduled for the jobless He showed how the big overhead, fine salaries paid the administrators for this amount, cut down the actual fund for relief to unemployed to about a million, or less than $8 per individual jobless worker, for the year of 1932. Children Faint Ford gave medical statistics to show that the number of under- nourished school children living a life of tragedy, frequently fainting at their classes in school, had increased from 5.9 per cent of the total in 1928-29 to 9.8 per cent in 1930-31, The Communist candidate told of the ‘merciless eviction program of Cleveland landlords and courts 4,084 in 1929, and 7,773 in the first ten months of 1931. ‘The bosses and the ‘ity govern- ments do nothing or practically nothing for the starving unempoyed.

Japanese Main Aim In Manchuria Is War On Soviet Union That the main aim of the Japanese imperialists in their banditry in Manchuria is war aganist the Soviet Union is openly admitted by the New York Times correspondent, Hal- let Abend, who in a dispatch to his paper from Harbin, Manchuria, de- clares: “After leaving Mukden for the North, and departing entirely from the Japanese-controlled territory of the South Manchurian Railway, it becomes evident that Japan's present military adventure into Manchuria is primarily aimed against Russia... Although it may be that Japan will not engage in hostilities with Russia at this time, it is almost certain that the prin- cipal inspiration of her present policy is not the hope of adjusting treaty and other disputes with China, but rather the urgency of so establishing herself in Man- churia thta she can be in a posi- tion to meet Russia with a chance of success whenever the conflict occurs.” Soviet Peace Policy Hinders War Plot To date, only the firm peace policy of the Soviet Union has foiled the plots of the imperialists for armed intervention against the Soviet Un- ion and its successful building up of Socialism. The plot to assassinate the Japanese Ambassador in Mos~- cow in order to afford a pretext for attacking the Soviet Union shows to what desperate lengths the‘imperial- ists will go in thelr frantic attempts to find a way out of the economic crisis of capitalism at the expense of the slaughter of millions of workers and, if possible, the destruction of the workers’ and peasants’ republic. Hallett Abend’s dispatch to the New York Times, states further: “Japan Will Force 2 War on Russia” “Many foreign observers, and not a few of the Japanese leaders themselves, believe that Japan will foree a war upon Russia in the very near future, believing that if such a war is» inevitable, Japan should push her advantage now rather than wait until Russia can complete her Five-Year Plan, and becomes more efficient industrially and mechanically.” ‘The Times correspondent almost regretfully admits that “Russia has so far scrupulously avoided that de- gree of direct participation in the Manchurian struggle which would give Japan an excuse for attack.” The “foreign observers” have a firm basis for their” belief that ‘Japan will force # war upon Russia in the very near future.” They know that thefe is a general agreement among the imperialists for such a war, and that it is upon the basis of this agreement that the United States and Franée are supporting Janan’s sel- zure of Manchuria, The Wall Street government iis the leader in this agreement, the leader in the anti- Soviet front. The workers and poor farmers of the United States are faced with the duty of defending their lives and their class interests against the murdérous war plots of the Hoover Hunger government; and of defend- ing the Soviet Union and the Chin- ese Revolution, the Soviet Union! Demand the with- drawal of United States gunboats and troops from China! Demand all, Demand hands off’ war funds for the starving millions of unemployed workers and bankrupt. poor farmers! Demand Unemploy- ment Insurance! Japan Calls For Speed In Partition- ing China That the war in Manchuria is the gateway to armed intervention against the Soviet Union and for the partition of China with a war of ex- termination against the Central | Chinese Soviet Government and the | tremendous mass anti-imperialist, anti-Kuomintang upsurge throughout | China is shown in the further state- ment from Hallett Abend’s dispatch: “Japanese civilian and military leaders in affairs are quite frank in declaring their belief that the time is rapidly approaching when the great powers will have to take action in China itself similar to the action which Japan is now tak~- ing in the Manchurian Provinces.” Negro Reformists Support Murder of Chinese Masses This frank invitation of the Asi- atic imperialists to the European and American imperialists to join in the immedaite partition and dismember- ment of China is a smashing answer to the illusions being spread among the Negro masses by the Negro re- formists to the effect that Japan by shooting down Chinese workers and peasants is “protecting” China, a- gainst the white imperailists! YOUNG PLAN IS PROVING BLOW TO CAPITALISM NEW YORK.—Another blow to world capitalism was contained in the report of the Young Plan ad- visory committees which met recently in Basle, Switzerland. This group of banking experts from the leading im- perialist countries openly stated that all of the big powers are faced with financial collapse as the result of a break down of the Young Plan and war debt paymests in the setting of the world economic crisis, They pro- posed an international conference to “revise” the Young Plan and put greater burdens on the workers, not only in Germany, but in all capitalist countries. One section of the Basle report said that of 18,000,000,000 marks borrowed by the German capitalists 10,000,000,- 000 were used to pay reparations. ‘The problems of the present crisis, the experts admit, are without par- allel” for the capitalists. 86 Per Cent of U, 8S, Workers Unemployed or on Part Time In the United States the depth to which the economic crisis has sunk and its effects on the workers is shown by the enermous increase in unemployment. The National In- dustrial Conference Board in a re- port issued on December 27th said that only 144 per cent of the workers in the United States were fvlly employed. The rest were either totally without work on a part-time basis. Even the capitalists and their gov- ernment officials are to see the difficulties of fooling the workers in the present crisis as to the nature of capitalism. “One of economic system’s weaknesses is the overeconcentration of wealth in the hands of a few individuals,” said Sec- retary of War Hurley, His remedy is to continue this concentration but to held in the library. This i tack aiming to completely deprive us of our library.
