It is at the same time an indication of the continued deepening of the economic crisis and a result of the sharp struggle between Ford and | Wail Street interests. | ‘The auto workers have been among | the worst sufferers in the crisis. | Brought into the industry by the lure “After we forget ‘the rope to pick up the code’ for the safety and benefit of the Negroes, we are told that we must have Negro jurors on any jury trying the blacks if they are to get ‘their rights’—from editorial in Jackson County Sentinel, a Scottsboro paper, By H. M. WICKS In explaining the causes of the “trading with the enemy act” carried over from the war legislation of 1917, the politicians and the kept press charge that it was due to small de- positors “losing confidence” and “hoarding” gold and other money. Let us go into this argument a bit and see what there is to it. The “bank holiday” began in Detroit, the industry. It started with the Guardian Detroit | Union group, which was the center) of a pyramiding financial structure | of the automobile workers. The sweat and blood of the workers in these slave pens of Ford, General Motors, Chryslers, Hudsons, Briggs, etc., were distilled into profits. These banks shared all the manifold rob- bery of the workers in the auto and accessories plants. They got their cut of the game of the real estate sharks who boosted residential prop- erty to the skies, they shared in the “salary loan” hold-ups, they got their cut in floating bond issues to the public, including workers in the auto industry. The Guardian Trust group of Detroit utilized every possible CHARLES MITCHEL method of gouging a larger share | surplus value for themselves, Government Rushed to Aid When the crash came, and the thousands of workers who had begun buying homes on the installment plan asked for further credit to carry them through they appealed in vain to this banking octopus. Tens of thousands of homes, almost paid for, were grabbed by agents of the finan- ciers in Detroit and sold again. But property values rapidly fell, with the result that many home installment buyers found themselves in the pre- arks or the banks more than the property would bring. The whole | structure resting upon the exploita-} tion of the auto workers began to} waver. ‘Then the Detroit bank rack- eteers, Edsel Ford, the officials of | General Motors, of Chrysler, and also | by Roy D. Chapin, then secretary of ‘ked help of the government and got it in the form of $25,000,000 from the Re- construction Finance Corporation. But that was not enough. With the biggest Michigan bank in a hole, the obliging governor of Michian ordered the “bank holiday” to mobilize all the resources of the little banks scattered throuhout the state to save the big concern of the automobile | National cent of it has been repaid. While this was going on the eminent Mr. Mitchell was drawing millions in bonuses for his “services” to the bank in addition to his salary of $25,000 @ year. During the three years— 1927, 1928 and 1929—these bonuses for Mitchell amounted to $3,500,000. In 1929 Mitchell “sold” to a member | of his own household 18,000 shares of City stock at a “loss’ of $2,800,000—this manouver was to evade the payment of government taxes on his income. Robbery of Bank Clerks In addition to other peculations this | gang-of bandits, with Charles E. Mit- chell at their head, preyed upon the | clerks and other employees of the bank. The principal method was to force them to buy National City Bank stock on the installment plan at 200 or 220. ‘Thousands of these em- ployees are today still paying in- stallments on the shares, although they have dropped from 200 or 220 | to less than $30 a share. | @ fitting climax to his bank | banditry this Mitchell in his letter of resignation to the National City racket said: “My first loyalty is to the National City Bank of New York | to which I have given the best years |of my life.” That statement was published with all due solemnity in the March bulletin of the National City Bank. Tt was this same pirate crew, of “FORGOTTEN MEN” MARCH IN NEW YORK By MOE BRAGIN. NEW YORK —Early Saturday morning in the side streets around Union Square the police are all out already like dogfleas. On the news- stands, papers are covered with sprawling headlines about the Bank Holiday and the Inauguration. The new president goes to church and takes his oath of office on an old ‘Dutch bible where the text praises hope, faith and charity. Having no hope in the present em, the masses of Greater New York pour out into the streets mi- itantly Having no faith in the man who promised a new deal for the forgotten man, they hoist in. the wind their own flags and ban- ners. Throwing charity like an old glove loaded with a horseshoe back into the faces of those who offer it, they thunder in their five-hour parade and demonstration for re- lief and unemployment insurance. Demand Rent Holiday. ‘The same morning that the creeping paralysis of the bank holi- days hits the claws of Wall Street, tens of thousands of workers take possession of the streets with their iron challenge and demands. They hurl back the blow immediately. As their answer, they spread high over the square their huge sign for @ rent holiday. Long before 11 o'clock thousands of workers stand in well-disciplined ranks ready to pour into the square. Scores of revolutionary workers’ organizations are present. The Marine Workers lead the march. ‘Whenever. the workers demon- strate the capitalist press is ready with its foul lies. When the 3000 hunger marchers massed on Wash- ington, the boss press yelped there were no hungry workers in the line, To spike the lies we pick workers at random to ask questions about, their conditions and why they are out on the front.

A little after one o'clock, the pa- rade Starts west of Eighth Avenue and then north to Twenty-Eighth Street and back along Fourth Ave. to Union Square. Thousands of workers line the sidewalks. There are mighty few this day who are not sympathetic. As the marchers chant their demands, a worker cries, “They'll have to give you what you want!” From many of the of- fice windows and factories, hand- kerchiefs and hands wave and fists are raised. Paper like flurries of snow blows down on the marchers. The marshals with red armbands Keep’ excellent order For two hours the tramp of the, “forgotten men” sounds through the streets. Back in Union Square the work- ers stand in unbroken ranks. On the truck which carries the ampli- fiers a German worker waves a red flag. In the park is the statue of Abraham Lincoln with his back to the workers. And on top of the flagpole is a huge spur with sharp spikes. Again Carl Winter reports. He describes how Harry Hopkins refused to see the delegation. “That will not stop us”, he cries. “We will make the voice of the forgot- ten people heard in Washington amidst the splendor of the inaugu- ration.” Student at Harvard Sends Dollar for Fund Dear Editor: Cambridge, Mass.

Such people as Charles E.

Capones, the “Legs” Diamonds, the rum-runners, the gangsters, the hijackers, the kid- napers of babies into a distinctly in- terior category of criminals. But rotten as capitalism and its leading lights are, they will never give way because of their own rot- teness.. They must be crushed. In the struggle against capitalist tyranny tens of thousands of small depositors can be enlisted along side the work masses. There is no holiday from | poverty and suffering for the masses | except to the degree that mass action can force the capitalist pirates to disgorge some of their stolen loot. Workers Denounce Starvation Doles at Hunger Hearing BOSTON, Mass. March 1.—Fifty workers testified at a public hearing called by the Dnemployed Councils in the North End this week. Public Officials and agents of the private relief organizations were challenged to attend and answer charges of cri- minal failure to prevent rani, mong the unemployed but failed to appear. Testimony Trolgst out the fact that a family of ten receives only $6 per week from the local relief agency and that this was given only after every available re- source had been exhausted including a life insurance policy. Thirty work- ers were recruited into the Unem- ployed Council, and a committee was elected to go with ‘tive of the fami- ey irepeemnntedste: Geman edi Roosevelt protects with his war-time) decrees.

But} not until tens of thousands had been tricked into buying homes at the in~ sistence of the auto companies, through loans from the Union Guar- | dian Trust Co. When the workers could not pay back the loans, these homes were lost. But the bank could find no buyers for the homes it fore- closed. In this manner, its assets became frozen. In the summer of last year the | bank borrowed over $16,000,000 from | the Reconstruction Finance Corp. The market for cars narrowed and | the share of the Ford Motor Co. in this smaller market became less. The new 1933 models of the auto companies were put on the market in December. Ford began to prepare his new models. The fight between the giants for the control of the auto industry was on, and a new wave of wage cuts swept the in- dustry. Hours were increased. Speed- up was intensified. New wage-cuts were prepared. But this time the | workers led by the Auto Workers | Union, began to fight back. Strikes were organized and ended in victory. The wage-cut drive for the present “°™ DETROIT BANK CLOSING IS __ |ATTACK ON AUTO WORKERS} Detroit C. P. Points ints Out t Move | Is Made to Save Ford at Expense of Small Depositor was stopped.

Other com» panies, fearing similar | changed their policy and announ wage increases, The big auto companies could agree. The fight between Ford Wall Street is being fought out af the expense of the workers and poo# farmers and small depositors. The banks were closed. But the savings of the small depositors were not safe» guarded. Those who had all thety | savings in the bank were left withow) means of living. The banks were closed becausq Ford insisted on withdrawing abou $8,000,000 in cash from the Union, Guardian Trust Co. This act would have wrecked the bank. The effect of this, General Motors and Chrysler feared, would be runs on the banks which it controlled. The banks were closed to give the big depositors the opportunity to protect their funds at the expense of the small depos~ itors. The big depositors were organized, ‘They used their organized power to force through actions in their in~ terests. It is necessary for all sma depositors to organize, if life savings are to be protected. The Communist Party proposed that the small bank depositors im-~ mediately organize themselves into fighting Leagues in order to safe~ guard their deposits and keep the big millionaire capitalist stockholders from stealing the savings of thei small depositors. The government and the Reconstruction Finance Cor-| poration, which are safeguarding only the investments and deposits of the millionaires must be compelled to safeguard first of all the meager savings of the toiling masses. NEW YORK.—What with the bud- get being amended every day, it is difficult to get the exact cut in edu- cation. But a rough estimate is suf- ficient indication of the crisis in education. The budget, including the $5,000,000 increase, should have been $150,000,000. The Board however, presented one for $142,500,000. Dras- tic reductions. due to salary cuts and other eemmomies took over $20,000,000 more away. The final budget, unless more slashes are made (not impos- sible) is now $129,200,000. What these reductions mean with regard the good of the child we have ai- ready explained. There is only one answer—mass action: a relentless fight against the increasing menace to our children’s health and edu-| cation, ‘The President of the Board is aware that the masses have been stirred by these and other abuses. In a recent address he said: “Fovees are at work seeking to poison the {minds of our children, particularly the underprivileged children (em-~- phasis ours), against the principles upon which our government rests.” His not very brilliant solution is that we have more play-centers. But as a matter of fact the solution holds good no longer because the Board has cut the appropriations for play- | centers. So radicalism will just have to keep on spreading. The Board provides excellent food for its growth. ‘Teachers Fight Retrenchments ‘The teachers have been made aware of. the fact that they, too, are pro- letarians; and for the short time in which they have become conscious of their real status they have put up an excellent fight.

Speaking with them and for them, hundreds of parents have added their support to the fight. These parents realize that they and the teachers have a common cause—the good of the child; and that only bY joining forces can their demands be won. But not enough parents are en~ |gaged in this war—for war it is, There are parent organizations af over the city, in schools and outside of schools. Parents should join these organizations and work with them, Too much is at stake—the child's future—for any parent to stay aloof from this issue. The most powerful single organization is the United Parents Association, with members in every school. Parents should join this organization and force ft to greater activity. The importance of mass drives must be hammered home unceasingly. There are also ine dependent organizations in every, borough. Tacties One word as to conduct within the organization you may join. ‘The Party has rightly objected to’ sece tarianism, ‘These parent organiza- tions, as well as the teacher-parent organizations, are non-political. Their purpose is to benefit the child; and a united front is maintained throughout, with personal differences excluded. The issues to be fought on must be kept clearly in mind. Otherwise the child's welfare is lost sight of in the heat of che argument. The fight is going on. Join a | parent organization!
