kage dwe wae DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, MAY 2, 1932 Children Cry for Food in |STAGGER SYSTEM | Bronx Cellar; Unemployed | AND NEW TAXES- | Council Forces Relief HOOVER ECONOMY (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—Crying voices of chilf@ren coming from a basement in the Bronx attracted my atten- tion as I was passing by. I de- cided to go down and see what was the trouble ‘What is the matter?” I asked the weeping child with pale checks. ‘I'm hungry,” she and two other children replied in chorus. Here a woman, a neighbor un- folded the following: “These are only three out of eight children, The oldest is two days old; the oldest is nine. The youngest has been taken to the maternity hospital at the request of the Unemployed Council. The mother did not even have a piece RANCH OWNERS OF OREGON DRIVE 84 FILIPINOS OUT May 6th Colonial Night To Be a Protest NEW YORK.—Last Monday, April 25th, a colony of 84 Filipino workers in Banks, Oregon were forced to leace the town by white ranch owners. This is a further instance of persecu- tion of Filipino workers in the United States. In 1930, similar “pogroms” took place against the Filipino agricul- tural workers in Watsonville, Cali- fornia, resulting in one killed and many wounded; and also in the state of Washington. The hounding of Filipino workers from town to town by the American rich farmers comes at a time when Philippine Independence so-called bills in Congress call for the imme- diate lMmitation of Filipino immi- grants to the United States to fifty a@ year. The Anti-Imperialist League of the United States calls upon the workers of Oregon to defend the right of these Filipino workers to work and live, without interference from the reactionary farmers. It demands full equality for the exploited Fili- pino workers. The May 6th Colonial Night which the Anti-Imperialist League is hold- ing at the Manhattan Labor Lyceum will be a demonstration on behalf of the oppressed colonial workers not only in the colonies but also in the United States. The “Chile Naval Revolt,” the play specially written for the occasion and to be given by the Red Players, will bring out vividly the heroic uprising of the sailors, against a reduction in pay. We have a lot of experience with what work- ers do when they get a wage cut. But what do the sailors do and how do they do it? Come and find out on “Colonial Night.” The Workers Laboratory Theater of the W. I. R. will act in that stirring playlet, “Red China.” The Mexican band will be there. The Red Dancers. “Some jiu jitzu by the Japanese com~ rades. The Chinese will take part. A Cuban singer. Music of India. And then the dance begins. Come early at 8 pm. May 6. The program starts promptly. Steel Magnate of England Kills Self ‘The British steel capitalist, Kuehn- Tich took the easiest and increasingly popular way out of bankruptcy yes- terday by committing suicide. He was the manager of the Universal Rustless Stee] Corporation. In 1929 he formed a $2,500,000 corporation out of twelve steel works. of linen to wrap the baby. The father is out of work for some time, so he is out peddling, but seldom brings home more than $5 a week. “You see these damp three rooms, They are next to a horse stable. | Look at the middle room: not a window, no floor. All the walls are wet.” As she spoke I sneeze on account odor of manure. “These few boards,” continued the woman, “serve as a door, but the wind blows in just the same. Can you imagine, $17 a month for this place? The rent has not been | paid for two months. God bless | the Unemployed Council. It it wasn’t for them the family would be on the street already, “The Council forced the Home Relief Buro to give some support to the family, but the Buro broke up the family. They turned four children over to an institution in- stead of giving the money to the father as requested by the Unem- | ployed Council. “Will you come again, Mister?” she asked as I was preparing to leave the dungeon, “Yes,” I replied. “What is the name of the father?” “Dominico Feola, 617 East 136th Street —don’t forget the address, Mister. “Bless the Unemployed Council for the demonstration they organ- ized to help this family.

Band Concert Within the past year there has | been a marked advance on some sec- | tions of the proletarian cultural front. This was clearly shown last Friday night by the excellence of the revolutionary program offered by the W.LR. band concert at Manhattan | Lyceum. | In addition to the bana, which was organized under the auspices of the Workers International Relief and now numbers 40 players, represent- ing 12 Negro workers, the program included two excellent dance numbers by the | Red Dancers, under the direction of | | Edith Siegel.

May Issue of “Soviet Russia Today” Out | The May issue of “Soviet Russia Today,” of which 40,000 copies have been printed, with a two-color cover, | takes up the slogan of “international | Solidarity.” Two articles answer the vicious lies in the capitalist press which are printed to develop a war spirit. One is “Red Terror Rages in the Capit- alist Press,” the other is the story of “The Giant Nizhni Autozavod.” An important feature is the Amer- ican workers’ May First Delegation to the Soviet Union, with photos and | biographies of the delegates, who were elected from shops all over the |country to go to Moscow for May 1. The Delegation’s statement, present- |ed in this issue, pledging to make a | study and report to the American workers the true conditions in the Soviet Union, is a ringing declara- tion of workers’ solidarity. Other articles are: “May Day in the Soviet Union, by Lena Davis; A sketch on Kalinin, by Myra Page; “Building Young Soviet Citizens,” by Alice Withrow Field; “Rooshian Reds in Kentucky Hills,’ by Gertrude Haessler; “In the Heart of Asia,” by Joshua Kunitz; “Dnieprostroy,” and other timely topics.

These points are: | 1—The need for ultimate reduc- | tion in the tax burden. 2_—The need, in the existing emer- | gency for new forms of taxation to| replace those sources of revenue| | which have failed under present con- | | ditions in so far as we can not pos-| sibly offset the whole loss of pub-| lie income by reduced expenditures. | 3.—The great problem of duplica-| | tion in the tax field between Federal, State and local governments, | 4-—Re-organization of the tax ba- |sis so as to secure a more just dis- | tribution of the tax burden as be-| |tween the various groups of taxpay- | j ers. | What groups Hoover means to re- | |lieve by the last point he did not state. But his referenece to more} |varied taxes is a revival of the de- |mand for a sales tax on commodities | recently voted down in Congress and |the learning of the fate of the real | estate owners whose income has fal- jen and who still must pay high taxes | gives him away. Only once did Hoo- | ver touch upon the workers who are than ever before. | And here he accepted the recommen- } dation of Green, president of the A. |F. of L, for the wide introduction of | | the stagger system, especially among | Zovernment employes. That this is being put into effect is witnessed by |the bill now before Congress which | does away with all over-time pay for} | eivit employes, This is a wage cut and Hoover realizing as much gives comfort that this will ensure a live- lihood for the workers and aid in| recovery. Hoover showing the huge growth |of governmental costs admitted that | | the largest items were direct and in-| | direct results of the World War, But he neglected to add that about one billion dollars is spent yearly for the new war. With astounding audacity Presi- dent Hoover, who has steadfastly re- fused Federal government relief for the unemployed and in the face of the rapid cutting off of the little local relief throughout the country, | says that “activities in behalf of wel- fare and relief” are steadily growing. On the whole the speech of the president was a cry of despair. With a Federal deficit of two billion dol- lars and a rapid shrinking of the sources of income due to the crisis, Hoover has only one so-called rem- edy. Indirect wage cuts, cuts in re- lief and shifting the burdens of run- ning the capitalist government onto the lower sections of the middle class and the working class, Real- izing that this program will not have much appeal especially in a presi- dential year, he begs of the public: “Be patient, be helpful recognize the complexity and the difficulty of the problem before these servants of your combined public interest.” | suffering more Newark to See New W.LR.

This substantial local victory was secured through mass meetings, in- tensive canvassing and signed peti- tions and resolutions scoring the closing down of the school which would have meant the robbing of one meal a day to many hungry chil- dren. ‘The workers activity was crystalized through the Children’s Center of the W. I. R. at 459 West 53rd Street, thus confirming the efficiency of the W. I. R. class struggle relief pro- gram as a weapon in bettering the conditions of workers at the expense of the bosses. W. I. R. branches everywhere are called to initiate similar activties in the poor Negro and white neighbor- hoods to push forward the campaign against the misery and starvation of working class children.

R. NEGROES DENIED JOBS BY BLOCK AID LEADERS Block Aiders Help Doak In Drive to Deport Workers (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—I am an cffice work- ér for the Block Aid. Although I cannot disclose names, I wish to inform you that the Block Aid is nothing but a slave driving, discrim- inating, spying and politics ridden outfit of the bosses, ‘We are speeded up in our work and asked to contribute overtime without pay. Only if we work from 5 to 8 are we allowed overtime, and then only 15¢ (supper money) for three hours work. Negroes and persons speaking with an accent (foreign-born) are not employed at this office, There is them, The Block Ald is organized sup- posedly to stamp out want for the poor. But, as a matter of fact, the Block Aid is used as @ political foot- ball among the grafters and parasites of both Republican and Democratic parties. These bloodsuckers don't give a hang about stamping out want. for the poor. All they care for is to fight for “leadership,” which means the lion’s share of the spoils. Recently when the manager of a factory refused to become Block Chairman, the district, secretary im- mediately called up the main office of the Block Aid, suggesting that the refusal of this factory manager be reported to Washington for purposes of investigation and ultimately for deportation The next morning a letter of con- firmation from the main office of the Block Aid reached this office stating that the matter in question had been referred to Washington. Workers, do not allow the bosses to slip this vicious scheme over your heads. Resist the Block Aid. Throw them out. Build your own Block Committees under the leadership of the Unemployed Councils. “MERCEDES” AT THE HIPPO- DROME THIS WEEK. “Mercedes” is back at the Hippo- drome, assisted by Mlle.

The wheat had been lying in grain elevators for two years. Bought up by the Farm Board from the big grain interests who were stuck with a few hundred million bushels of unsalable wheat at very favorable prices to them, the wheat was kept in the hope of a ris- ing market following a curtailing of production. In spite of the prayers, divine hopes for droughts, storms and cata- strophes which would wipe out the wheat crops, over production con- tinued. The workers were unable to buy enough bread—they were unem- ployed. And the Farm Board was forced to admit that it had bought a “lemon.” After a few months of cussing imaginary “Russian wheat open shameless diserimination against | Red Cross Graft of Farm Board Unfit for Use at Baltimore Must Be Destroyed; “Unfit for Humans” | eae BALTIMORE, April 26—“Out of dumping” the Farm Board decided to Jimmies Waltz for Beer | By MARTIN BANK | | Hey—Starving farmers— \Can you hear? | Jimmy’s gonna feed you || With a march for beer. | | Hey—hungry miners— | | Why look so queer? | | Can't you fatten up them bones | | With Jimmy's waltz for beer? | | | Hey—jobless workers— | | Why don't you cheer? | | | Can't you pay your rent | | | With that ‘promise for beer? | | Hey—you masses— | | | Why do you sneer? | | What?

Foster and Richard B. Moore addressed the gathering. Repeated attempts of the police to prevent the meeting were unsuccessful because of the militancy of the workers, and, despite the police cordon thrown around the hall, the mass present showed every enthu- iasm, After insfiring addresses from the speakers, resolutions were adopted to send protest telegrams to the Gover- nor of Alabama and the Governor of California on behalf of the Scotts- boro boys and Tom Mooney. The meeting called under the joint auspices of the L. S, N. R. and the I. L. D. had only a ‘few Negroes present. The workers agreed to re- double their efforts to rally the Ne- groes in the district to the aid of the nine framed-up boys.

But there was no place to dump. The same choked wheat sit- uation exists all over the world (ex- cept, of course, in the USSR). So then Hoover mbde his heart- rending appeal to Congress. After a little bickering in the House of Rep- resentatives the bill was passed. But even here in the case of some- thing that had to be given away, graft must come in. The thousands of workers who go without bread now face another glorious. Hooverian swindle. And it isn’t a cheap Tammany politician that is working this game but the great Red Cross, which re- fuses to aid strikers since its activ- ities are “confined to natural cala- mities.” “The other 18 carloads was de- clared of such low grade it could not be used for bread, but might be util- ized in other forms.” We recommend it for rat poisoning.

Labor Defense attorney, Bernard Ades, On November 7th, a large number of workers had assembled at the Labor Temple in Tampa, the starting |place of. a parade in celebration of the 1917 Revolution of the Russian workers and peasants. Suddenly, without warning, a troop of police, accompanied by scores of American Legionnaires and Ku Kluxers with tear gas, machine guns and revolvers, broke into the hall, charged upon the workers and proceeded to club the defenceless mén, women and chil- dren, A fascist Ku Kluxer fired a shot at a worker which missed and | hit a policeman instead, wounding him. Many workers were jailed. Despite the fact that the police had made an unprovoked and brutal at- tack upon the workers, fourteen of the most militant among the letter were held on framed-up charges. In jail they were subjected to savage torture, such as the notorious “swéat- box,” in an effort to extract “confes- sions” from the workers, But the brutal third-degree proved unsuccess- ful; the workers maintained their innocence throughout. They were then rushed through a farcical trial, in which the intention of the boss court to railroad the prisoners was always evident. Four of the prison- ers were sentenced to ten years, two were given three years each and eight received one year terms. The workers of Tampa, who are mostly Negroes and Latin-Americans, are being subjected to the most atrocious forms of capitalist terror. The U. S_ government has already deported several Tampa workers, spe- cifically because they belonged to unions. The Negro workers are threatened with jail or lynchings. Workers’ meetings are broken up by the police, who use téar gas and clubs freely. An injunction has been clamped on the Tampa Tobacco Workers Industrial Union, In the face of this intense terror, however, the Tampa workers held a 72-hour general strike to protetst against the frame-up of their comrades several months ago. Organization of the illegalized tobacco union is going on and gaining ground steadily. The Tampa frame-up is a typical rking Class to Get Behind These Tampa Workers jexample of the capitalist “justice” which murdered Sacco and Vanzetti}, | which now threatens to murder the | Scottsboro boys; which keeps Mooney jand Billings, the Imperial Valley workers and hundreds of other class war prisoners in the filthy cells of, | Capitalist dungeons.

On the same day, | Adolph 8S. Ochs, the biggest publisher of them all, announced to his em- ployes that they would receive a ten per cent wage cut. All the workers of the New York Times and its subsidiaries received a slash in wages on May First, Red Labor Day. It might not be ainiss for the American workers to know that the nation’s largest newspaper coined millions upon millions of dol- lars year after year for the past gen- eration. The New York Times itsslf boasts to its advertisers that it carries more advertising lineage than any | other newspaper in the world. Just recently this leading organ of Wall Street announced that its circulation gains during 1932 were the largest in aif its history. And three months or so ago, the New York Times told its readers that it pur- chased a large tracvt of property near the Hudson River front as part of its EXPANSION PROGRAM. To accel- erate this EXPANSION PROGRAM apparently, the New York Times de- cided to cut the wages of its workers, who never shaded in the huge profits of the company.
