Vol. X, No. 138 Entered as second-class matter at the Pert Offies at New York, N. ¥., under the Act of March 5, 1873, Slave Legislation yal of the working class by the officialdom of the American Federation of Labor are climaxed by Green and company approving the Roosevelt “ind! iai recovery bill.” Urging organized workers to support that bill, which is in essence an industrial slave code, Green completely distorts its purpose. He says “This proposed legislation marks a very definite step forward in industrial stabilization, rationalization and economic planning. “The bill is appropriately. termed an industrial recovery measure. “It is, in the judgment of labor, the most outstanding, advanced and forward-looking legislation designed to promote economic recovery that thus far has been proposed.” Green adds that the bill is a “real, constructive remedy for unem- ployment.” This, in spite of the fact that thousands of units of in- dustry. will ‘be scrapped and tens of thousands of workers now employed part-time will be compietely deprived of work. Chester M. Wright, publicity man for the A. F. of L. bureaucracy, in the International Labor News Letter of June ist, refers to the bill as Decades of betr the “American industrial revolution,” and says it is assured of passage | because it has the endorsement of labor and of the “organized employ- ers.” Both labor and capital endorse it, because, says Green, “industry will be permitted to function in a co-operative way.” In practice this means class collaboraticn on a scale hitherto never attempted. ‘The one new thing in such class collaboration is that the government openly uses its power to effectively unite owners of industry and the mis- leaders of labor to put through the bosses’ attacks on the standards of Nfe of the masses. What sort of machinery the government, is setting up is indicated by the fact that the notorious Bernard M. Baruch, former war industries board czar, who is on the favored list of the House of Morgan, is to be the chief of the whole works. Other Wall Street men will be on the board, along with some of the “labor leaders” such as Bill Green and dohn.L. Lewis. Not only do these agents of capitalism at the head of the reformist wnions support the measure, They are to be part of fhe machinery to take away from the organized workers everything they have gained through decades of struggle to establish union conditions. ‘This industrial slave bill must be fought and through united action tm strikes and other mass struggles the bosses and the government and _ the labor agents of capitalism must be shown that labor in action will gmash every one of its provisions. ‘As against the open shop qrovisions of the bill there must be con- @ucbed a struggle for the right of the workers to belong to any union ~please; the right of collective bargaining and the recognition of wnion of the workers’ choice. Instead of the company union features contained in the clause de- “united action of Iebor and management,” the principle of shop @eganisation should be put forward, In a number of strikes and in vari- us industries the workers have set up democratically elected committees. (i a conference before Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins on May 6, the ‘Union Unity League brought out the demand for recognition elected shop committees. Tt is this kind of organiza- I “A Scientific Salesman of the Capitalist Class” Nicholes Murray Butler, the ambitious Republican politician who thologic desire to be nominated for the Presidency, and who, line, holds the job of President of Columbia University, has em: his study with a dazzling jewel of wisdom. Ai The present crisis which has caused such suffering and misery to the masses is a “moral collapse,” says our learned Butler. “That whieh has broken dowrf gays Butler, “is primarily not the economic superstructure, but the moral foundation.” But behind this “moral” talk is an obvious class purpose. ‘The primary purpose of sugh talk about “morals” is to conceal the basic cause of the crisis—the exploitation of labor by the capitalist class. Tt is a rather curious “moral collapse” that occurs with such regu- larity every few years, and which increases m scope and intensity as cap- italism has developed. Crises, as Marx long ago showed in “Capital,” occur periodically and with increasing force because the exploitation of labor results in the piling up of a “surplus” on one hand in the hands of the capitalist class, and of poverty among the producing class, the workers. “The last cause of all crises always remains the poverty and re- stricted consumption of the masses, as compared to the tendency of capitalist production to develop the productive forces in such a way that only the absolute power of consumption of the entire society would be their limit.” (Marx-Capital, Vol. 3). Tt is the capitalist system of production based on the private owners ship of the means of production which is responsible for the crisis. The fierce imperialist struggle for markets—is this a “moral” affair? And whose “moral collapse” is it when the capitalist exploiters slash wages to starvation levels? The dooming of 17,000,000 American workers to hunger because the Federal government denies them unemployment insurance—whose “moral collapse” is that? . And can any talk of “morals” make the slightest change in the ir- reconcilable class struggle which rages between the working class and their capitalist exploiters? y The rape of Manchuria, the partition of China, the imperialist plunder of the colonies, the fight for coal, oil, iron and railroads, are these affairs of “morals” or of economies? The monopolist grip of Wall Street finance capital on the govern- ment and industry of the country—is this the “moral collapse’ which Butler has in mind? Oh, no! That would not at all please Butler's Wall Street masters on the Board of Trustees. Is it not strange thet the lynching of Negroes, the clubbing and shooting of workers, the eyjction of workers’ families, do not arouse the moral indignation of Nicholas Miraculous? Butler’s talk of ‘morals’ is consciously for the purpose of chioroform- ing the masses against revolutionary struggle, against the real cause of the crisis, against those responsible for the crisis—the capitalist class. ‘The bourgeois professors are nothing but “scientific salesmen of the capitalist class,” said Lenin. . And whi loyal salesman is Columbia's ambitious President! STRIKES WIN WAGE RAISES More Mills Come Out; 4 Jailed at Suntag | Picketing N.T.W. LED STRUGGLE |Workers Reject the “Recovery” Talk; Want More Now | ALLENTOWN, Pa., June 8.—A two- | day strike, under the leadership of | the National Textile Workers’ Union |here against the Belvidere and Phil- lipsburg Silk Companies, was success- | ful in winning definite gains for the | silk workers. The workers won wage increases of a half a cent per yard, reconition of their shop com- mittees and the abolition of overtime work, During the two days of the strike the bosses’ agents were active in try- ing to disrupt the unity of the work- ers. They proposed that the work- ers join the United Textile Workers |and pointed to the Recovery Bill which the A. F. of L. supports as assuring them better conditions. But | the majority of the workers rejected this proposal, refusing to be deceived by “promised” increases and to be induced to join the strike-breaking, sell-out organization of the United Textile Workers. ee ea | Jail Strike Organizer, 3 Strikers At Suntag Mill. ALLENTOWN, Pa., June 8.—Pow- ers, organizer of the strike at th Suntag Silk Mill, involving over workers, and three other st were arrested on the picket li day and sentenced to ten,days in jail or a $50 fine. This js the result of efforts of the boss, ajded by Mayor Lewis, to break strike. The Mayor has declareg his intention of stopping the pick¢ting and even out- lawing the strjke. At the trigi Mayor Lewis acted as chief witwess. The sentence was chief pydsecutor and the boss was passegafter Powers delivered a sharp on the boss and the Mayar, ig the latter as the tool of the bosses.

FARMERS JOIN WISCONSIN MARCH | MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 8.—Re- ports have come from many cities and farm communities of activity for the State Hunger March which started yesterday and will reach Madison on June 12. In Fond du Lac 200 workers struck against forced labor which was being done at three cents an hour. In Appleton, the police are taking the workers from their houses in pa- trol wagons to the forced labor jobs, when they refuse to work for gro- ceries. Farmers Will Come Farmers from Shawano County, where 1,500 National Guards and 500 special deputies enforced virtual mar- tial law in the milk strike, haye come in trucks to Oshkosh to talk with the Unemployed Council members. They have taken back hundreds of copies of the “Hunger Fighter,” the Wiscon- sin Unemployed Council organ. They are very bitter towards the sell-out of the milk strike, and promise that they will come to Madison direct in trucks. In Mauston over 150 workers are on ; Strike against forced labor; and a similar number in Elroy, near by. In Mauston an Unemployed Council has been set up, and is leading the strike. They are sending many marchers to Madison. { | | | | | NEW YORK, FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1933 Green Applauds tas: ial 2 ALLENTOWN Latest Picture of Two Youngest Scottsboro Boys and Attorneys Photo taken at a recent hearing in Decatur, Ala. shows the two youngest Scottsboro boys whose cases have been transferred to the Jtivenile Court as a result of the fight by the LL.D.

Anfi-Soviet Dumping, Lies Exposed at | | — London Session | LONDON, June 8.—How to induce | the farmers to cut down wheat acre- | age so that the food gamblers can} hone af of the enormous surpluses) theyhold at higher prices is the prob- I facing delegates of the United | States, Canada, the Argentine and Australia, who are in conference here. The conference consists only of si: men, representing the four countrie: that produce 90 per cent of the world’s wheat supply, according to} figures furnished by them, Enormous Surplus in No. America With ‘tens of millions of men, wom- en and children enduring pangs of | hunger for want of bread, there are in the United States and Canada ‘more than’ 400,000,000 bushels of sur- plus wheat.in storehouses. If produc- tion canbe curtailed for as much as four years by one-fourth to one-third of the present acreage ‘the market gamblers and bankers who own this surplus hope to realize big profits off it. Figures Blast Soviet Dumping Lie One noteworthy feature of the con- ference is the official statement that | “Russia is not a factor in the pres- ent wheat market.” This is due to the fact that in the Soviet Union the first consideration is to feed the peo- ple and anyone who attempts to spec- | ulate on the food supply is sternly} dealt with. Figures of the price drop| in wheat also show that the biggest fall in prices took place long before | there was even the slightest export! of wheat from the Soviet Union. This | completely refutes the lie of Soviet:| dumping that was used a year and a/ half ago and that is still being re- peated in farm papers in capitalist countries today. Seek to Provoke Imperialist War The delegates of.the four countries | realize that any agreement between! them is very difficult, if not impos-| sible, aside from turning their dif- ferences in the direction of aiding the international conspiracies for inter- vention and war against the Soviet Union. Henry A. Morgenthau of the United States and Stanley Bruce, former: Australian prime minister and now) resident Australian minister im Lon- don, and Howard Ferguson, Canadian high commissioner, are trying to find a way to place the wheat surplus at the disposal of countries being. used as bases from which to launch an anti-| Soviet war. This, in spite of the fact; that they themselves have had to ad- mit that the wheat dumping yarn against the Soviet Union is now comn- pletely discredited by facis they could! no. longer conceal. 11,20 | 0 at Amoskeae Again; Pay Is Cut, Not Raised Strike | Senator: Fletcher, | come tax payments. |® new low making a new low since! | of the Roosevelt government.

Thus, the City government is preparing to lay the tax bur- dens to meet the bankers’ payments directly upon the backs of the poor- est sections of the population. The Tammany Mayor O’Brien said that this kind of tax was “one of the finest and fairest that could be im- posed.” This statement, of course. contradicts the opinions of even the most reactionary bourgeois econom ists who all admit that a sales falls heaviest upon the poorest tions of the population Money Not for Relief Mayor O'Brien also rev contrary to his first all of the $15,000,000 es immediately realized from the auto for relief purposes. Thus,.the City administration admits that it is levying the new taxes to meet payments to the bankers, rather than for relief expenditures To Pay Bankers The “budget crisis” is due to the fact that on June 10 a delegation of Wall Street bankers, headed by Win- throp Aldrich, Rockefeller agent of the Chase National Bank and Frank Polk, a Morgan agent, whose name appeared on many of the “ stock lists, will demand payment on the $236,000,0000 loans which fall due on that day, The City has $80,000,000 in cash. A large part of this is being held for the bankers. Relief has been cut to the bone. Over 60,000 workers’ families face immediate eviction due to non- payment of relief rent by the Wel- fare Bureau. Preparing Wage Cuts With protests from realty and property interests against the auto taxes mounting, the City is laying the strategy for another series of wage cuts in the salaries of the school teachers, ete, The cry for “retrench- ment,” reductions in the city pay- tax sec- rolls, is getting stronger every day| among certain property groups close to the City government. These demands are directed main- ly, not against the enormous salaries of the Tammany officials who clut- ter up the City government, but against the lower salary brackets. The Tammany officials in the Board of Education are hinting more openly every day of coming “sacrifices that the teachers will have to make in the form of wage cuts.

The letter m: no specific pro- rent and keeping family by visions for pay! and @ worker create the illusion that need will be shown more considera- tion. Behind the Mayor’s phrase about’ “providing shelter for the evicted families” is the sinister intention of breaking up the homes of unemployed workers, scattering the family, send- ing the children to asylums, the pa~ | rents to relatives or flop houses. (In | today’s installment of “New York— | Metropolis of Hunger,” on page 2, stories of how the is. breaking up homes is told in vivid detail.) Demand No Evictions When’ the delegation went to the | Board of Estimate Wednesday it pre- sented a Workers’ Ordinance with a series of demands and a program for raising the relief, to be adopted as a city law. The ordinance specifically stated as the demand of the unemployed the stopping of all “evictions of unem- ployed and part-time workers” and “rents to be paid for the jobless by the Home Relief Bureaus.” The instructions that marshals give 24 hours’ notice before evicting has been a general rule up until now. The instructions about notifying the |Home Relief Bureau concerning the | eviction is also an empty gesture. The bureaus are well informed on evic~ tions, workers come there day after day prior to the eviction asking un- successfully for rent. O’Brien also told the marshal that one of their men must remain on the | scene of the eviction until the furni- ture is on the pavement and a rep- | resentative of, the Home Relief Bu- reau arrives | The last order is partly due to the complaints of workers that evictions are taking place without notice, that Jandlords break into apartments without legal procedure. But it is mainly for the purpose of mobilizing the forces of the city government to | prevent workers from putting back | evicted furniture into their houses as \is being carried through daily under the leadership of the Unemployed Councils.
