Buitor of the Daily Worker:— TWas listening in to the pro- gram of the Veterans of For- eign'Wars on Station W.P.C. 138 last Sunday and among the pa- triots present was Dr. Robin- son, President of the City Col- lege-of New York. He spoke of, the injustices of the stu- dents who are trying to better the conditions in the colleges, claiming that at some recent protest meetings they were so insolent as to block traffic, neglecting to mention the fact that.all of Fifth Avenue was tied “up for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The next patriot who spoke was"*the cartoonist Harry Herschfield who stated that he waassdrry that he couldn’t have the medal pinned on him a 100 years hence, so that he could belueky enough *o have served .in“G'few more wars and have a few'more medals on his chest. The next patriotic philan- thropist who owns. the depart- ment:store on Union Square and,who pays his girls $8 a wet: Mr. Klein, made a short speech about being lucky to fight for democracy, and was presented with a silver plaque for,his services to the great capitalists of this nation. Comradely, J. M. ——® ing commented as follows on the redlosing of these banks: “It is evi- dent that in such instances the banks were reopened with the hopes of at~- trateing depositors which would strengthen their position. When heavy withdrawals threatened in- stead the management have preferred to take advantage of the easy reor- ganization provisions of the new banking law.” Thus in so many words we have the admission from the Journal of Commerce that the bankers, when they canot induce more depositors to place money in the defunct establish- ments, are confident that the “easy reorganization provisions” of Roose- velt’s “war-time emergency” meas- ures in regard to banks will help them evade payment to depositors of money they have taken under the false pretense that such money was safe. o Aca Open General Motors Bank, DETROIT, Mar. 24.—General Mo- tors which put $12,500,000 into the new National Bank and obtained a like amount from the Reconstruotion Finance Corporation, opened the $25,- 000,000 institution today. James McEvoy, chief of General Motors’ legal staff is acting president and General Motors employees are directors of the bank. The new bank is to take over all assets of the closed First National and the Guardian Na- tional, which amount ta $150,000,000. Detroit depositors of the two closed banks are still indignantly protesting against the joint robbery by the Gen- eral Motors and the federal govern- ment carrying out Roosevelt's “new deal.” Alfred P. Sloan, president of the General Motors corporation an- nounced that the bank will take over the “sound assets” of the two closed banks within a few days, as soon as conservators in dharge and General Motors attorneys come to an agree- ment for the sale of these assets.

The ate are becoming demoralized due to Le policy of AFL officials of sus- penc or expelling workers from the’ linions because of inability to pay dues. At the same time, these mis- leaders are blocking every effort on the part of the rank and file work- ers to: fight for unemployment insur- ance, and relief. from the official wage cuts a aN in 1932, the officials are.permitting the bosses to hire worker on available jobs for wages hee in. some cases are less than 60 per-cent of the official union scale of wages. On Government and other large..jabs, the bosses with the aid of the misleaders institute wage rack- ets forcing the workers to return sometimes as high as 30 per cent of their wages to the bosses. “Relief” Wages Instead of Union Seale On many jobs in New York City or State, workers are hired through the relief agencies for $3 to $4 a day against the prevailing $11.20 to $13.20 Important Medical Discovery in USSR per day and are forced to work guard- ed by State troopers or local police. This condition prevails on the Brent- vitae L, I, Bear Mountain and other Ss. Officials are discouraging the work- ers from attempting to fight against these wage cuts or wage rackets by telling them that no strikes can be won during the crisis; and that “bet- ter times are around the corner” and Sell out strikes when they occur. The painters strike of last season is an outstanding example of the outrages that are being committed against the workers by the AFL. misleaders. The building trades workers resent- ing these conditions are looking to competent militant leadership that will organize and lead them into struggle. There is no other force in the building trades that is capable of giving this leadership, other than the rank and file militants who are guided by the policy of the Trade Union Unity League. It must be stated this leadership is not asserting itself ag- gressively enough in the existing fa- vorable conditions for organization. While certain inroads haye already been made, and the workers are be- ginning in some trades to follow this leadership. yet not all the crafts in Crees auats have been made aware of it.

Cummings said today that he had no criticism of the way the Harriman Bank case was handled by the de- partment of justice under the Hoover administration. He said the Hoover gang held up prosecution “because things like that must be Judged on the delicate state of financial affairs and that prosecution in this statute might be deferred and still be effec- tive within the statute of limita- tions.” That gives the racketeers a few years to grip the depositors after their crookedness becomes known, Smash Small Depositors Again The attorney general's office is con- sidering ways and means of protect- ing the state banks that have depos- its with the big city banks by having their deposits take prec:g2nce over that of individual depositors, LEHMAN SCHEMES FOR SALES TAX With It Goes Wage Cut for State Employes ALBANY, N. Y., March 24—A two per ceng sales tax, proposed by the Democratic and Republican Senators as a means of placing the burden of taxation to provide funds for the N. Y. State budget on the backs of the masses is being considered by Gov- ernor Lehman today. Lehman has already recorded himself favorably for a sales tax. By this means to- gether with a ten per cent cut on the wages of all state employees over $1500. He expects to meet the $114,- 000,000 deficit in the State budget. Republican and Democratic senators yesterday cut over $8,000,000 in the $216,000,000 budget proposed, and agreed to eliminate the proposal for a one per cent gross income tax as well as a 65 per cent surtax on trucks which would hit at the employers. A beer tcg: is also contemplated. After the conference, bills and amendments will be introduced into the legislature. Harriman’s Lawyer is “Criminal” or “Trial”? NEW YORK, March 24—Max D. Steuer, noted criminal lawyer, is to be counsel for Charles E. Mitchell, the banking racketeer and former president of the National City Bank who is charged with neglecting to di- vide with the federal government in | the form of income tax his loot for the year 1929. The capitalist news services when they sent the report over the wires re- ferred to Steuer as a “criminal law- Soon afterwards when they realized that this might imply that Mitchell needed the services of one accustomed to keeping out of jail, the news services sent a “correction” instructing their clients to refer to Steuer not as a “criminal lawyer” but as a “not: trial lawyer.” TRIAL TO BIRMINGHAM!

They also demanded that the city government request the fe- deral government to withdraw the cuts in veterans’ benefits contained in the Roosevelt economy bill, and to pay the bonus immediately. At City Hall a delegation of 15 vet- erans, elected at their open hearing on relief Wednesday night, went in to present their demands to the Board of Estimate. James W. Ford Communist: aandidate for vice-presi- dent in the last elections and a mem- ber of the Veterans National Liaison Committee, read the resolution adopt- ed at the open hearing. George Har- vey, borough president of Queens, tried to heckle Ford by asking why he was not a member of the American Legion or the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Ford exposed the Jim-crow policies of the Legion leaders and declared that rank and file member- of both these organizations were a- mong the vets outside. Dronsik, another veteran, and thc wife of a vet also spoke, both ex posing the miserable conditions « the ex-servicemen and the discrimi- nation and corruption in handing out relief. Ford also read a telegram to th: German embassy, protesting against the fascist ter nora ay, we demanded that the city send wire in the name oi the vets. STRUGGLE OVER THE BEER GRAFT Lehman States It for Tammany Hall ALBANY, March 24—The scrap is still going on to place beer control in the state of New York in complete control of Tammany machine. Goy. Lehman proposes the creation of a board of five members to be appoint- ed by him to “regulate the sale.” This is a move to control the source of supply so that only those loyal to| Tammany will be able to get beer for | sale. It is stipulated that not more than | three members of the board shall be members of the same political party. | That little piece of trickery only means that two loyal Tammanyites in the New York republican organi- zation will be on the board. The chairman of the board is to receive $10,000 salary per year; while the four other members receive $7,500. Of course, this is always the smallest apointee, as they will probably pay part of the income of a Tammany more than that into the slush fund to get the jobs. Since the federal law permits the manufacture and sale of beer and wine of smali alchoholic contents (3.5) the bootlegging establishments will continue to operate full blast, selling what passes for whiskey, gin, etc. These have been the backbone of the Tammany gang, particularly in New York City.

He was released | later in the day on bail of $50, for | trial Monday morning in the Jeffer- son Market Court, 10th Street, on the charge of resisting officers. A Japanese ‘and Chinese worker | were also arrested, the police claim- ing they found a gun on the latter. Women looking on at the demon- stration yelled “butchers!” as six| cops attacked Simons on top of the| freight car. His coat torn off him, his glasses shattered, Simons, while the cops wrestled with him, shouted, “Wall Street police are protecting the Japanese imperialists, butchers of the Chinese masses. Fight against w: preparations of the American bosses Only after the Japanese agent was whisked away in a limousine, flanked by 50 armed motorcycle cops, were the police able to disperse the 2,000 dem- onstrating workers, among whom were large numbers of Chinese, Jap- anese and Negroes. The New York Branch of the Chi- nese Alliance call upon Chinese anti- imperialists to establish a common fighting front against the Japanese invasion of China and expose the vicious war activity and propaganda of Matsuoka and the American im- perialist war makers.

PORT | LABOR SPORTS UNION HITS FASCIST TERROR Acting on an appeal received from the Red Sport International, whose headquarters are in Berlin, the Dis- trict Secretariat of the Labor Sports Union has called upon all its clubs to send telegrams of protest against the savage Hitler persecution of the Ger- man working class, to come out to the anti-fascist demonstration to- | morrow morning at South and White- hall Streets, and then march to the Germani consulate. On the basis of this appeal, letters have been sent by the L. S. U. to So- cialist and Jewish sport organiza~- tions, urging that they enter the united front of all sportsmen against these attacks of the Hitler terrorists on all workingclass and Jewish sport organizations. As Hitler has announced his inten- tion of supporting the Olympic Games, scheduled to be held in Ber- lin in 1936, these sport organizations, as well as the Amateur Athletic Union, the leading boss sport body in the U. S., and the American Turner- bund, have been urged to unite in o boycott of the Olymoics as a protest against the fascist persecutions. THE YEARLY DRAMA—BY RUTH AND RUPPERT | With just a scattering of handclaps in the baseball audience, the annual drama of the prodigal son of base- ball, Babe Ruth, and the forgiving father, Colonel Ruppert, has just rung down the final curtain. Ruth got a golden calf, fattened $52,000 worth, and Ruppert got his big draw- ing card—which was what all the ballyhoo was about, anyhow. L.S.U. SHOOTS AHEAD ON BASEBALL Plans for the formation of a workers’ baseball league in New York are going ahead rapidly. At a meeting of L. S. U. baseball team representatives last Monday, it was decided to call mectings of » teams wishing to enter the league within the next few weeks, at which time the league will be organized. These meetings will be calied in four sections of the city, Bronx, Manhattan, Brownsville and South Brooklyn. All teams wishing to enter the league should get their entries in quickly, Blanks can be gotten at the L. S, U. office, 813 Broadway.

The Schaaf- Carnera fight was “in the bag.” Schaaf was expected to lose and build up the “logical” fight—the Carnera-Sharkey fight. Schaafs death was not part of the plan. It came about as a result of his sick- ness, the beating from Max Baer and Carnera. However, Schaaf's | death is being cleverly used by the Garden crowd.

Organized a year ago as an im- promptu group of dance students, dis- satisfied with the theories and out- worn idealogical energies of the principal , schools of the modern dance, it soon found a real reason and demand for its continued exist- ence and stronger organization. All the members are from working class homes, and’ it soon became ap- | parent that it was up to them to find an expression closer to them than the modern dance had heretofore presented. It was also suggested that a greater number of people would appreciate an opportunity to receive instruction in the fundamental tech- nique of the dance which was denied them by high tuition fees and other entrance requirements at other schools. The New Dance Group was therefore, formally organized as a laboratory for the study and develop- ment of proletarian culture in the form of the dance, ‘The present membership ‘is over two hundred, and daily classes are held in the dance, eurhythmies, and percussion, at the headquarters, 94 Fifth Avenue, New York City. The teaching staff contributes its services and consists of the founders of the group and other qualified members who volunteer. The group has & long record of suc- cessful perfomances at various work- ers’ clubs and groups. And now, without any financial backing, with- out ballyhoo, the New Dance Group feels that it has became a strong enough force to celebrate its first anniversary by giving a recital of a cycle of revolutionary dances at the Hecksher Theatre, Fifth Avenue and 104th Street, on March 26, | today the Needle Trades Unemployed Landlords Try | Te Outlaw Rent Strikes NEW YORK—“No law protects strikers” said a Board of Health in- vestigator after the rent strikers of| 1505 Charlotte had reported to the Board of the } lord's attempt to “freeze” the strikers out by turning off the steam. “For strikers there is no steam,”| continued this callous representative of the bos: clty government after he was told that there are twenty cas! grippe in the house.

The landlord has issued 20 dis- possess notices and turned off the hot water supply. Workers are urged to demon before these houses this afternoon at 2.30, immediately after the dem stration at the German Consulate against fascism.

Roosevelt says it costs an additional dollar a day to shetter and feed them There can be only one meaning to this, Mr. Roosevelt. | That is tha: you regard $2 a day as a sufficient wage for | American workers. It is an open incitement to every blood- sucker, every labor one to beat down wages of workers to that miserable level What about your promises before election? forced labor bill of yours a “relief” measure. Is that what you meant when in a radio address from the executive mansion at Albany on October 6th, you spoke of the plight of unemployed and hungry workers and their families! At that time you said of the unemployed: “We need for them a greater assurance of security. Old age, sickness and unemployment insurance are the minimum requirements in these days. But they are not enough.” Do you recall your promise on October 20, when, im Pitts- burgh, the center of the steel industry, you promised a decent living to the starving victims of the steel trust whose votes you tried to get? You then said: You call this “Tf starvation and dire need on the part ;of any of our citizens make necessary the appropriation of ad- ditional funds which would keep the budget out of balance, 1 shall not hesitate to tell the American people the full trust and recommend to them the expenditure of this additional amount.” In your campaign you constantly talked of the “forgotten man,” and promised a “new deal.” On November 6, at Pough- keepsie, on the eve of the election you made an untruthful boast about the condition of the toiling masses in New York State that was calculated to give the impression that under your administration hunger would be abolished. Do you now remember these words: “Just so long as I am governor in this state I decline to do anything less than see to it that no man, woman or child shall starve in this state.” Do you think that selecting 250,000 men, placing them In uniform, concentrating them in tent colonies in lumber camps and turpentine swamps—men torn away from their families and under a military prison regime for a year at $1 a day— will in any way benefit the more than 16,000,000 unemployed and their starving dependents in this country? Do you think your promises are being fulfilled? Do your deeds today conform to your words during the election cam- paign?- It is on the basis of your action that you must be judged by the toiling masses of this country. And your action proves that you, like all capitalist politicians, make promises only to get votes, only to deceive the people, and that when in office you use the full power of the government to deliver even heavier blows against the suffering men, women and children of the workers, the impoverished farmers and the ruined sections of the former middle class, than the previous admin- istration which you, yourself, characterized as exhibiting a heartless disregard for their suffering. Your “new deal” is for the finance capitalists and against the vast majority of the people you deceived into voting for you and your Democratic Party. But you will not be able to continue this drive without being challenged by increasingly determined resistance on the part of the workers and farmers of this country, who insist that the government and the employers, who are responsible for this mass hunger and misery, shall be compelled to come through with emergency relief and unemployment and social insurance.
