Feb. 20—Guiseppe Zangara, a worker crazed by his suf- ferings under capitalist rule, who tried to kill President-elect Roosevelt, Was today given the sentence of 80 years in jail, getting 20 on each of four counts of assault. Zangara has pleaded guilty. No representative of the ruling class would ever be given such a sentence in a so-called U. S. Court of Justice. Despite the fact that the would-be assassin was a registered republican, efforts were made by the capitalist press of the country to convert his act into a “Red plot.” The New York Enquirer, a yellow Hearst weekly, went so far as to try to link Zangara with the militant Alteration Painters ‘Union. The attempted assassination is also being used as the occasion for the revival of efforts in Congress, led by the fascist Hamilton Fish, to rush through the vicious Dies and Eslick bills in the present session, the first directed against foreign-born militant workers and the second against all ‘workers holding revolutionary opin- fons. ‘Free State’ Plunders Workers Thru Sweep- stake Lottery Tickets NEW YORK.—That large numbers of workers in Ireland and in the United States are victimized by the Irish Free State Lotteries is revealed in an article, “Free State Lotteries,” published in the February issue of the “Irish People Monthly.” The article which exposes what little chance a worker has to win a prize is based on an address deliv- ered before the Church of Ireland Conference by the Rev. B. C. Waller, who as a member of the Catholic Church is a friend of the Irish Free State, but even so has to make dam- aging admissions. Weller's address showed that a worker who spends his hard earned money to buy a lottery ticket has only 1 chance in 2,967 to win any sort of prize. His chance to win a prize of over 100 pounds ($340) is 1 in 13,784. His chance to win a major prize is 1 in 110,108. So much favorable publicity has been given by the capitalist press in America to the few winners of prizes out of the millions who bought ti- okets, that hundreds of thousands of workers in America have been misled into spending their money on such tickets. The Tammany officials nor the Washington Government have taken action against the sale of these lot- tery tickets which is illegal in this country, although hospifal nurses and hospital porters in the city hos- pitals as well as in private ones have been heavily victimized by these lot- teries. What happens to the millions of dollars milked from the workers by these lotteries is shown in the fol- lowing figures. A ticket on the sweepstakes sells for ten shillings, about $1.70. In the final distribution, the Irish hospitals receive 1-1014d, (27c); the Irish Free State Government gets 7%d, (llc); organizers and expense take 11d, (15e), while the prize winners as a whole get on each ticket 6-7d, or less than one cent No less than 900,000 pounds, ($3,- 060,000), was spent on promotion, etc., in the three draws during 1932. In brief, the millions of workers who are beguiled to invest their money in these tickets are shorn of their money not even for any benefit to hospitals but for the benefit of pro- moters who can be well compared to the Wall Street parasites who “shear the lambs.” If one worker out of millions happens to win a prize, the capitalist press in America especially plays it up to the utmost. Millions of workers literally are rob- bed of their money, with the pretext that they can win, though the pro- moters know well enough what little “chance there is to win a prize. Jobless Council Saves Home of Negro Worker CINCINNATI, O.—Joe King, an unemployed Negro worker living at 414 Wade St., had his rellef cut off because there were only two in the family. Both King and his wife were sick. The Assistant City Manager said that they would have to sell thei furniture and go to the Old Folks' Home. how the city was trying to break up the home of these two workers, and presented this case to the city. Nothing was done, Then the Un- employed Council took this case to the neighborhood relief agency, the Shoemaker Center, a jim-crow outfit. ‘The result was that the family the next morning received relief. Unemployed Council Member. J. Longa | NEW YORK.—The recent balan tiens far greater than the average citi’ sent balancing of the budget stands course, with banker control and dicta The city has now balanced her budget by cu that is, those leasi able to afford it and by dischargi others, thus a ing to the now oy elming of unemployed. As usual tho: able to withstand the loss of w or cut in salary were hit the hardest. Long And Short Term jounced’ sometime in r cutting the budget | twenty millions dollars a long term |loan could be arranged. Now that | the budget has been cut twenty mil- |lion the bankers announce in Wall | Street papers that the market can | only absorb a short term loan. This policy of issuing short term loans} enables the bankers to constantly | control and dictate directly to the [oy through the form of negotia- tions for new loans. Now the bankers with the aid of their Tammany flunkeys are prepar- ing to float in the near future }@ one-year Joan for the city with a four per cent coupon tn order to begin the refunding of the six per |cent loan now outstanding and com {ing due. By this means, that is | auiort term loans granted the city, | the bankers can at all times dictate | the financial policy. A long term loan would of course take the city out of the investment market for a | | long period of time and for that pe- | riod out of the direct dictation of the | bankers. Through the short term | loan method a steady flow of com- missions can be counted on by the bankers in the underwriting of these | loans. | | Fare Raise Next Since the bankers have been suc- cessful in dictating the present cuts in the city budget at the expense of | the workers there employed, there is | a strong indication that they will | take a step further. The next step} will undoubtedly be an increase in the fare from the long fought stand- ard of five cents. | It is well known that the present | municipal subways are not paying | their expenses. To this fact, per- haps foreseen by those who built them, is found the basis for a rise | in the fare and the legal weapon} for putting it through. Official Blessing In the Rapid Transit Act in the section on Municipal Operation, sec- tion 135, the following is to be found: | “If the board of transportation shall | undertake to engage in public or mu- nicipal operation of any road or roads pursuant to the authority of the rapid transit act the rate of fare shall be five cents for an initial pe- riod not to exceed three years from the date of beginning such operation. If the aggregate revenues derived from municipal operation of such road or roads during the third year of the initial period be insufficient | to pay (a) operating expenses ex- clusive of maintenance, (e¢) contri- butions to the sinking fund to amor- tize and retire the debt, the board of transportation shall within sixty days adjust, fix and readjust the rate of fare on such road or roads, so as to produce an annual income sufficient LL.D. Defense Bazaar Opens Wed. In Manhattan Lyceum, | to Help Prisoners NEW ‘YORK.—Preparations haye| been completed by the N. Y. District, | International Labor Defense for ac- | commodating the thousands of work- ers who will rally to the Annual Giant Defense Bazaar which starts this} Wednesday, Feb. 22 at 5 p. m, in | Manhattan Lyceum, 66 E. Fourth St., |and will be continued until and in- cluding Sunday, Feb. 26th. Entire Lyceum Reserved ‘The entire Manhattan Lyceum has been reserved, including two dance) halls, for housing the bazaar during} its five day period. Besides 10,000 useful articles that will be on sale | at half prices, proceeds to go for | defense of class war prisoners, the bazaar will also feature programs of entertainment on all five nights. Par- ticipating in these programs, the John Reed Club artists, the Maxim Gorky Union of Revolutionary Writers, the Musical Art Trio, New Dance Group, Russian Chorus Collective, Ukrainian String Orchestra, Balalayka Orches- tra, Workers Laboratory Theatre, to} mention only a few. will offer enter- tainment and drama of outstanding merit. Tickets for Unemployed Unemployed. workers instead of | | Paying the regular admission price of 25 cents, can purchase tickets at ten | cents. These tickets are on sale only | at the Unemployed Council headquar- ters, 10 East 17th 8t. Special Restaurant A special bazaar restaurant will serve deliciously prepared food at proletarian prices. Workers can come | straight from work to the bazaar and | eat with their friends and their fam- ies. Proceeds from the restaurant will also go to the defense of class war prisoners. Call by John J. Ballam | “This bazaar will afford all work- ers and friends sympathetic to the by the bosses a splendid opportunity to show their united support for An- |gelo Herndon, Tom Mooney, all victims of the bosses’ terror,” it was stated today by John J. Ballam, District Secretary of the ILD, in his call urging all workers to rally to| fight to release their comrades jailed | the | Scottsboro Boys, Sam Weinstein and | cing of the city budget has implica- zen is now aware of. Behind the pre- a rise in transit fare accompanied, of tion, the poorest workers, to make all such payments.” It is quite obviou tion from the Trans are ost imminen city banke: @ none ing inve working class i a cular to be calle don to foot the bil While the LR.T. has not paid since it was successfully milked by J. P. Morgan and August Belmont ma: years ago, the reason that the LR.T. the has never paid large profits is th the co iy was supposed to sup- port a capitalization which to put it conservatively was overburdened at the beginning of its existence. This capitalization included profit to the bankers. Juggling The Dividend The B.M.T. is a well paying con- cern. Despite this fact the bankers for the company refused to allow the company to pay common divi- dend because the B.M.T. wished an | extension on a short term loan held by the bankers. Standard Statistics said this regarding the common divi- dent of BMT. “while more than earned, Common Dividend ordinarily payable July 15 was omitted in or- der to conserve cash. We can thus see the bankers con- trol of the city through the making of short term loans and thereby pro- viding an argument for Tammany Hall to make the adjustments they demand. Through the same method the bankers control the traction companies and dictate there policies in every respect. Then with the new subway not paying and the afore- mentioned clause regarding the abil. ity to raise the fare we see the bank- ers in command again. If the new subway obtains an in- | crease be legally entitled to it. Such will | Probably be the argument put forth at the proper time. The bankers can again demand an increase in the fare so that the city can balance its budget and again the worker will be the one to foot the bill. It is all so logical from the bankers’ view- point. Bosses and A. F. L. Officials Try to (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Workers Conference for Labor Legis- lation, which is arranging the State Conference for March 5, 6, 7, in Al- y, issued today a sweeping con- |demnation of the blocking of un- employment insurance bills. “How little in accord the rank and file of organized labor is with Mar- cy’s action and that of the labor fakers, can be seen by the large number of American Federation of Labor Locals and independent unions which have endorsed the Albany Conference,” it was stated today by Rob Robbins, secretary of the Al- bany Conference Provisional Com- mittee, and a member of the “Big | Six,” representing the Printers Asso- ciation for the Benefit of the Un- employed. More than 65 labor bodies endorsed the Albany Conference at @ provisional conference held recent~ ly in New York City. “The endorsement of the Albany Conference by a large number of American Federation of Labor lo- cals,” added Robbins, “was in part due to their opposition to inadequate | unemployment relief bills proposed by boss-representatives in the Legis- lature, Senators Mastick and Byrne, | and to their determination that more adequate bills be drafted and adopt- ed. The _ notorious Mastick | Byrnes bills excluded from relief all workers already out of work.” Robbins further pointed out that the American Federation of Labor Committee for Unemployment Insur- ance and Relief received the en- dorsement of more than 1,000 A. F. of L. locals throughout the country as proof of the strong tide sweep- ing through the American Federa- tion of Labor unions in favor of adequate unemployment insurance. Present indications point to the presence of more than 1,000 labor re- presentatives at the Albany Confer- “One of the best answers to the vicious action by the Marcy Com- mittee and the labor Takers,” the Provisional Committee for the Al- bany Conference stated today, the immediate election of delegates by all labor bodies to the Albany ate bills for unemployment insur- ance, and which will go over the heads of labor fakers in mobilizing | mass pressure to force the State Legislature to enact such bills.” To raise funds for financing the Albany Conference, the Committee | will hold tag days on Friday, | urday and Sunday, Feb. 24, 25 and 26.

As part of the publicity drive, a | special edition of the Hunger Fight- er, organ of the Unemployed Coun- cils, will be issued. Pages will be in- | creased from eight to twelve.

EIGHTH GHTH FOLTIS- FISHER SHOP OUT’ Qt y5 y Cit Naat: Strikers Stand Fast; T. Plan W ide S Support NEW YORK— ne eighth Folt‘s- |Tishér shop went on strike Friday. It is located at 110th ®t. and Broad- way. Ali the workers now on strike at the Poltis-Fisher cafeterias met Sun- day night at the union headquarters = West 18th St. The report of the alled conference with the Foltis civers supposed to take place Sat- urday at 4 p.m, was given. Chamberlain, the head of the re- ceivership telephoned and said he} could not be present. The workers, at the strike meeting decided unanimously to stick with the strike. Boss Triek Flops On Friday at a general membership | meeting of the cafeteria section of the union and the strikers an an- swer was given to the Foltis letter regarding the union. This letter sai: that he, Foltis, had no objection t |the workers joining the Food Work- ers Industrial Union but that the | union was a racket and that he was | sorry they would have to pay dues. | This letter was given wide distribu- tion among the Foltis-Fisher work- ers. The membership unanimously 1 iculed this letter as it is well kno that the F.W.I.U. is a democratic or- ganization controlled by the rank and file of the workers and therefore is fighting for their interests and unit- ing them, with a record of victories and improved conditions. The membership decided unani- mously to tax all the cafeteria section one days’ pay in order to finance the Foltis-Fisher strike. Strike Support A meeting of all the trade boards of the union was held last week. It was there decided to mobilize the membership at large in’ the fight against Foltis-Fisher and the re- ceivers. They also adopted a resolu- tion to tax each meniber of the Food Workers Industrial Union to support and finance the strike. The amount | of the tax was left to the trade boards to decide. A leaflet was issued especially for the girls containing their immediate demands and needs. Some of these | demands were free laundry of girls} uniforms, an 8-hour day instead of: a 9-hour day with one hour for rest | and meals, and sanitary lockers and | rest rooms for all workers. Another leaflet was issued calling for solidarity of all the workers with | the strikers.

'Fooled by Lardlerd; 2nd Strike Declared by Brooklyn Tenants] NEW YORK.—Fooled by the land-| lord, the tenants of 115 Herzl St.,| rooklyn, declared a second rent strike this time under the leadership | of the Block Committee and the Un- employed Council. The owner of the house refused to give the inmates of the house even the small bit he prom- ised them unless they would sign a paper which would forbid them to ask for rent reductions or strike for two years to come. | The thirtesn fainilies, who previ- | ously refused the help of the Block | Committee, organized themselves. After two days of picketing, the land- lord succeeded in tricking them into a false settlement in which he tried to break the solidarity of the strike: S| by inciting the magainst each other, Realizing that they could never be| victorious unless they had the assist- ance of other workers, the tenants asked the help of the Block Commit- tee and the Unemployed Council to} aid taem in winning the following | demands: | One dollar fifty cents reduction per room; no evictions; the checks of the Home Relief Buro should be accepted by the landlord; all repairs to be made immediately; recognition of the House Committec. This second strike the landlord | again wanted to “settle” and at a} meeting of the tenants he brought} two thugs for the purpose. The re-| ply to such a “settlement” by the workers was more and better picket- ing. The Home Relief Buro didn’t fail to try to lend a hand to break the strike. An investigator bribed by the land- lord threatened to withdraw the re- jlief if the strike signs weren't re- | moved. Being reminded, however, by a member of the Block Committee | that whatever was reduced from the rent would be less for the Buro to pay, he withdrew from the scene. All workers living in the neighborhood are urged to come and help in the picketing. | “The struggle against militarism | must not be postponed until the | moment when war hreaks out Then it will be too late.

A committee of a number of la- bor and athletic organizations has been formed, known as the American Athletic Delegation to the Soviet Union. Carl Brodsky, chairman of the committee, stated at his office at 799 Broadway, the following yes- terday: “Press dispatches coming from Moscow report the postponement of the World Spartakiade to August This information has been in| the hands of the committee for the last two weeks. Because of the num- | ber of inguiries that have come to! us about the World Spartakiade and the growing interest in it, we feel! that a postponement would enable us the country would have been possible if the delegation left this year. The postponement is actually a response to the requests from a number of organizations. We plan a series of local and dis- trict meets and, possibly, a national preparatoi meet. We are also is- suing an invitation to a Soviet soc- cer football team to come here this Spring.” Brodsky stated further that many physical educators in the United States have heard of the Spartakiade and are interested in sports in the Soviet Union.

Hart, presideit of the New York State Economic Council, demanded a further cut of $30,000,000 in the state budget, and admitted that most of it should come through wage cuts and discharges, “We believe there should be fur-% ther reductions in salaries, particu-3) larly school teachers,” said McCaf-% frey. He was asked whether he would cut employes getting less than $1,000 a year, and answered: “Yes, on a graduated scale... . ..” “In my city,” boasted Secretary Esser of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce, “salaries of industrial workers have been reduced as much as 50 per cent, and yet state employes are yelling because they are asked to take a 6, 10 or 12 per cent cut.” “Tt js time to be solicitous about the taxpayer and not so solicitous about the state employes,” Esser con- tinued frankly. “Back To Land” Nearly 40,000 New York City dwell- ers have gone out into the country in the vain search for a plot of land on which they can raise their own food, according to the state depart- ment of agriculture figures released last week . Meanwhile the state legislative committee investigating “the catses of the decline in the dairy industry” has reported that in New York this industry is the main type of farm- ing, with 40 per cent of the state land in dairies, and that “the prices farmers recejve for milk is less than half the cost of producing it.” The committee sees widespread ruin # | dairy farmers now under way and growing worse. “SOUTHERN JUSTICE — Sen- tence of Negro worker to living death for leading fight for bread— American Workers must save Hern- don and other Atlanta defendants from clutches of vicious chain gang.
