“The Private Gets the Profit” It is « fime proposition which Roosevelt offers to the American working class. He says, “. . . it’s not a partnership in profits, for the profits would still go to the private citizens, but rather a partnership im planning and a partnership to see that the plans are carried out.” ‘That is a typical capitalist Roosevelt proposition. The workers will have to endure wage-slavery, starvation wages, exploitation and the profits will go to the private citizens. Who are these “private citizens’? It is the capitalist class which owns and controls the means of production, the factories and the mills. It is that 1 percent of the population that owns more than 65 percent of the national wealth. It is Wall Street monopoly finance capital, Roose- velt’s masters. What kind of partnership can there be between 17,000,000 unemployed and the Roosevelt government which dooms them to starvation? What kind of partnership can there be between the working class and the capitalist masters who exploit them through their ownership of the means of production? The capitalist class buys the only commodity that the workers have for sale—their labor power. The capitalist class exploits the workers by appropriating the value produced by the workers beyond the amount required to keep the workers alive. And today, the capitalist class cannot even feed its slaves properly. Because it cannot produce at profit, it chokes the forces of production, it closes the factories, it destroys the “surplus” wheat, sugar, coffee, cotton. Roosevelt's partnership is the partnership of the state, the execu- tive committee of the capitalist class, with Wall Street monopoly capital to further reduce the costs of production for the bosses by increasing monopoly centralisation of control, by arranging monopoly agreements to introduce “economies” in the form of starvation wages, speed-up and longer hours. | less and farmers’ struggles Her FOULKROD CALLS) tse "sine": | march.” Foulkrod, who was exposed as a nry “bonus js OFF FAKE MARCH; sici2isri ist ntat WAS EXPOSED | ranks of the veterans by putting forth |@ program for the payment of the | bonus and upholding the economy pi Hg ignoring the struggles of the : workers and farmers.

But the conference by no \eans accomplished these tasks. On ene contrary, the Congress itself was forced into certain acts which will inevitably sharpen all the contradic- from them over $500,000,000, a rank and file veteran presented an amend- ment that the Congress go on record demanding the rescinding of this law. |The original arnendment, made by jone of the veterans who is close to tions: the Socialist machine, was to the ef- BE ee et Com-| tect that the question shall be re- ferred to the incoming committee. Judge Jacob Panken, leader of the Socialist Party, demanded that the question be deferred. But the Con- gress voted almost unanimously the amendment demanding the payment of disability allowances to all the vet- erans. The socialist leaders have, of course, no intention of fighting for some of the good resolutions adopted. This can again be seen from the fact that although they voted resolutions for the freedom of the Scottsboro boys and the freedom of Tom Mooney, they refused to vote endorsement of the work of the Mooney Congress and the Scottsboro March in Wash- ington.

Party, ing after the first two sessions, re- ve its. former position and de- cided to elect & sub-committee to meet with the Communist Party on the question of united front, shows that the situation is growing sharper. And in connection with this we must state here that the greatest danger lies precisely in the maneuvers which the wing of the Socialist Party is forced to underteke. In fact, Norman Thomas already made it clear in the last issue of the New Leader that he favors the conference with the Communists in order to put the Socialist Party in a more favor- able position in opposing the united front. He made it quite clear that the whole intention is to maneuver tack on the veterans, by taking away By JOHN ADAMS. NEWARK, N. J., May 8.—I climbed the stairs at No. 5 14th Ave. to the third floor where the Alcolese family live. Mrs. Alcolese answered the door. She remembered me from Sunday and let me in. Joe, her son, was at home Sitting in the kitchen of the neat four room flat, I spoke with 23-year | old Joseph, one of the firty-five young workers expelled from the Civilian| Conservation Corps, at Camp Dix for |putting up a militant resistance to {the rotten conditions existing there. Tells Own Story I asked Joe to tell me in his own words, the story of this struggle: years,” Joe began, “and so when this | proposition came up, I figured it’s bet- ter than nothing and it will help the} family.

They said for an excuse that the pipe was dirty and they were cleaning it.” Jim Crow Negroes Did you know that Negro young workers were kept in a separate part of camp from you?” I asked him. | “Yeah, I knew and I think there is something no good in this. I tell the other boys that it is wrong for them to talk against these colored boys but most of them, they don’t know any better yet.” He continued, “We all saw, the day they took us away, a colored boy be- ing taken out of headquarters by a soldier who kept his gun pointed at the colored boy. We wondered why they did this.” An Organized Protest He came to the events that took place last Friday when over a hun- dred of these young workers left the | mess hall ard shouted in their tents: me eats, no work.” wAILY WONKEK, NEW YORK, TUESDA AY 9, 1933 Citizen “WHY WE WERE EXPELLED FROM CAMP DIX, N.J.”; STARVE Scottsboro Marchers AT ROOSEVELT FORCED LABOR CAMP, SAYS Y OUNG WORKER One story was that a young worker had been refused a saddle horse and hired a cab to go and hire one at a riding academy.

The rank and file forced the amendment to be recognized after quite a struggle. The Pankens, the Thomases and the Oneals met with a decisive defeat in the vote which they were contpelled to announce as 900 for the 8. P. leaders and 734 for the amendment. This, by the way, disclosed that the claims of 4,000 delegates had no basis in fact, as can be seen from the vote. | Probably there were a maximum of | 2,000 or so delegates. Since the cre- dentials committee made no final re- port, the official figure is as yet un- known. The S. P. leaders refused to put to @ vote an amendment by Don- ald Henderson criticizing the A. F. of L. leaders for their opposition to Tecognition of the Soviet Union. Unite Struggle From Below. _ In later articles we shall deal in detail with the resolutions adopted and other phases of the Congress. At this point we merely wish to state that we must make overy effort to reach the rank and file of the So- cialist Party, and other organizations mted at the Congress, and tly with them organize the united front of struggle to achieve the de- mands the Congress was compelled to adopt and other demands which the Congress rejected. The Congress, un- der the pressure of the S. P. leaders, defeated thé amendment to establish the united front with all left wing organizations, including the Commu- hist Party. This atnendment was put forward by A. J. Muste and Budenz of the Conference for Progressive La- ‘bor Action. But the resporise given to the speech of Comrade Nydia Bar- kin from Detroit, who openly stated that she was a Communist and asked for united action of the Communists and Socialists, shows that bejpw it is possible to establish the united front for struggle against hunger, terror and Communist Party, which has ad- dressed the Socialist Party on the rnited front and which made re- } ‘ated attempts to establish such a 1 1ited front on the Mooney, Scotts- Lore and other issues, on May Day, fight against Fascism, etc., only to be answered by slander on the of the National Committee of the So- cialist Party and other leading so- cialists, will not be s0 easily out- maneuvered, The reason for this is that to the Communist Party it is not @ maneuver. We stand for the -united front of the masses. We stand for the united front on clear cut is- sues in defense of the interests of the masses. And behind this stand there are rallying large masses who know that they must, unite their ranks. Behind this stand is the grow- ing movement within thé Socialist Party iteelf on the part of the rank and file. | Radical Phrases.

And it is precisely here that. we will observe after the Co! at the workers who were present there will come in conflict gangsters and racketeering in an at- tempt to destroy the growing resist- ance of the workers. , “During the last few years, rack- eteering has become widespread in the needle trades industry. In the fur, cloak, dress and men's clothing trades, racketeering has already taken root in one form or another. Racketeering affects all needle trades workers, irrespective of union or po- litical affiliations. The attack upon the Industrial Union, engineered by the fur bosses and supported by the manufacturers of all other trades, was cartied through with the ob- ject of destroying the gains achieved by the militant fur workers and to prevent the mobilization of the cloak |and dressmakers as well as other needie trades workers in struggle for | better conditions. Let no honest worker remain in- different to these struggles against exploitation, terror and gangster control. Let us organize a powerful united front army ready to struggle for better conditions and to defend the lives of the workers and their leaders. The Needle Trades Workers Indus- trial Union, which has determinedly fought for unity in the ranks of the workers, is conducting a fearless struggle against the bosses, their agents, racketeers and underworld gangsters.

That the Roosevelt administration at Washington, while pretending to fight Tammany in words, is trying to strengthen the New York demo- cratic machine, is seen by the ap- Ppointment of McKee as president of the Title Guarantee and Trust Co., & mortg@age-shark concern, at $50,000 |@ year. Since McKee knows nothing about such business, it is plain that this was a convenient place to shift him.
