When he talks in this way about ‘the clouds lifting’ he is not just being a bad weather prophet. He is consciously misinforming and misleading the working class. Roosevelt, with talk about peace, and in the name of peace, is again preparing to drive the American workers into war. Thomas's sophistical, double-tongued and hypocritital attempts to disguise the danger of war from the workers, is aiding Roosevelt in his task. Worker Correspondents! We have had a very good response from the Worker Correspondenis of the Daily Worker to our request for reports on wage-cuts, on exposures of fake wage imcreases, on sirike struggles for Wage increases. ‘Through these letters from our Worker Correspondents, we have been able to make effective exposures of the “prosperity ballyhoo” of the demagogic President in the White House. ‘A weakness of some of the letiers sent in was the failure to report that military officers, judges and foreign representatives were on the Morgan | @ short report.

Comrades, Brothers :— The bosses and the Roosevelt government are busy telling us that prosperity has returned. We who toil, who face unemployment, who JaBor for starvation wages know this to be untrue, It is true, however, that in a number of industries there has been a temporary increase in production. is due to factors that do not in any way point to a let-up of the severe crisis. On the contrary they are themselves a promise of a new deepening of the crisis that will follow. These increases are due primarily to the regular seasonal increases that take place yearly, to delayed buying in the course of the course of the banking holiday, and above all to spe- culative buying in advance for certain industries like steel and textile in the expectation of a sharp rise in prices as the Roosevelt inflation program gets under way. Conditions Intolerable ‘the masses of workers have reached the point where they can no Jonger stand the present conditions. Not alone the millions of unemployed but employed workers and their families are facing actual starvation. ‘Wages have been driven down to such low levels that miners, textile, workers, steel workers, workers of numerous industries are compelled to demand relief in order to maintain their families. Total wages for all workers taking into account the unemployed are only a third of what they were before the crisis began. The amount of relief given to the unem- ployed throughout the country is equal to only one percent of the total loss in wages. On top of this side by side with part time work the basic day has been lengthened with many industries employing men, women and even children for 10, 12 and more hours per day, New speed-up methods have been introduced so that the bosses can maintain and increase their profits even though they do less business. Side by side with the present propaganda about a return of prosperity the relief to the unemployed is boing cut down and restricted. The government refuses to even consider he introduction of federal unemployment insurance. The Roosevelt, “Recovery” Bill Many workers thought that the Roosevelt administration will bring better conditions for the workers, But the whole program of the govern- ment has been one attack after another against the employed and unem~ ployed workers. First billions of deposits of the workers and small bttsi- answer of Roosevelt to the sufferings of the masses. They are a hint to the capitalists to do the same thing in all industies. The inflation pro- gram was another vicious atiack on our living standards, the whole policy of the Roosevelt government is directed against the masses. New taxes are to be levied on the masses. At the same time as the investigations dis- closed Morgan and his like escaped paying any taxes, and the Roosevelt cabinet members and ministers were on the Morgan “in.” Now the s0- called National Recovery Bill 1s introduced and advertised as a new heaven for the workers. But is it not a little suspicious how the captains of indus- try rush to indorse this bill. We already have learned through our own bitter experience that the interests of the bosses and our interests are not the same, This new measure is a new and thus far the most brutal attack on the masses. It would help the employers to maintain high profits through government subsidies, This is why the bosses favor it. It would fix wages and hours, thus introducing a new low minimum wage for all workers, in reality cutting down the wages of the mass of the workers, through direct wage cuts and through the old Hoover stagger plan under a new name. j It would create machinery of the government for compulsory arbitration outlawing strikes, destroying all militant trade unions and all opposition forces within the A. F. L. unions that fight for the interests of the workers. It would with the assistance of A. F. L. leaders who have supported the Hoover-Green agreement under which the wages were reduced to one- third, create a new Roosevelt-Green agreement through which the AFL would become legally part of the conspiracy of the bosses and the govern- ment to reduce the living standards of all the workers. The proposed public works program, is but a means through which new battleships will be built and regular necessary minimum construction work carried on with low wages, breaking down the standards in the building trades. This is really what the Roosevelt National Recovery Bill represents. ‘The attack on the militant Fur Workers’ Union which is being car- ried through with the aid of the federal government, the New York Police Department, the A. F, L., the New York Socialist leaders is already an example of what the aims of this bill are. Why are all these elements supporting the manufacturers in the fur industry to try to crush the mili- tant union of the workers? Why are the manufacturers trying to drive the fur workers into the non-existent A. F. L. union in the fur industry? It is because the milijant Fur Workers Industrial Union, a section of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union, has been able in the face ot the sharp crisis, in the face of the lowering of the living standards of the workers to establish and maintain improved conditions in the industry, Fighting Spirit Rising When the bosses realized that the workers were beginning to fight for higher wages, and that they could not he stopped with mere promises of Lawrence Mills they have already announced a wage increase of 121-2 | per cent in their efforts to stop the strike movement. Similar increases are already forced in many other industries and sections of the country, At first the bosses tried to present these increases +; “voluntary” and use them as proof of a returning prosperity. But very quickly this was expose ” The struggle in the Amoskeag Mills in Manchester, N. H., was one of the outstanding examples.The press announced a “voluntary” wage in- crease of 15 per cent to be effective July 29th, But we soon learned that | this was announced to forestall a strike for an increase NOW. The workers however were not fooled. They demanded an immediate increase. The posses threatened to shut the plant entirely. The workers again were not biufied. They went on strike. The sabotage of the A. ©’. L, officials, the manouvers of the local government, olficials and the representatives of the Labor Department, and even the use of the National Guard could not break the ranks of the workers, The result is. at the time this is written the bosses are already willing to grant a 15 per cent increase to begin with the reopening of the mills on the 3ist of May, but the workers consider this inadequate. Strikes Increasing The strike movement is spreading. In the year 1933 there have been serikes in almost all industries and in every section of the country. And practically all the strikes have been won. The first successful strikes this year were big strikes of the auto workers of Detroit led by the Auto Workers Union which is affiliated to the Trade Union Unity League. ‘The miners led by the National Miners Union won many strikes. About 15,000 miners struck in the soft coal fields of Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio in the course of the last two months. There were also miners’ strikes in Southern Ilinois and other sections. There have been militant strikes of shoe and leather workers throughout New England embracing tens of thousands of workers. These strikes unfortunately were strangled by the reformist leaders who instead of basing themselves on the militant action of the workers gave over the interests of the shoe workers to ar- bitration boards. There are at present strikes of needle workers, metal workers, fishermen, agricultural workers, bakers and numerous strikes in all industries. What the spirit of the workers is, what can be achieved through mili- tant leadership can be seen from the victory won by some two thousand striking women workers in St. Louis who under the leadership of the Food Workers Industrial Union won all their demands after a one-week strike. They won increases amounting to 80 per cent and the recognition of their elected shop committees. The overwhelmingly majority of the strikers were Negro women, On the other hand the UTW (AFL) leaders in Salem, Maas., have declared illegal the strike of 1,800 textile workers ageinet.s now abteck on tetr wages. 3: is interesting to. note that whils employed for Your Demands, for Job- less Relief and Social Insurance the workers everywhere are fighting for increased wages, the employers in Salem with the aid of the UTW dare to further reduce wages. This is the role of the A. F. L, leaders who support the Roosevelt National Re- coyery Bill. Act Now Workers! Now is the time to fight. Join the workers who have struck and won increases. Don’t be fooled by the Roosevelt promises. Don't he fooled by the Green, Hillman promises that the Government will act im your interests. Act ‘yourselves. Get together in your shop. Form your committees. Discuss your demands. Present them to the bosses. Pre- pare your forces to act to enforce these demands with strike if the bosses refuse to grant them In order to fight successtully you must unite your ranks.
