Subscribers Should Be Visited by Specially Selected Workers to See If Their Service Is Satisfactory ! (Section of the Communist International) 1898, 1917-1933? army and navy circles, new Napoleons and Jellicos are grooming themselves for a gigantic war which the officers and admirals deem as inevitable. These feelings of the swashbuckling militarists do not come out of the thin air, but seep down from Roosevelt's plans to explode capital- ism out of crisis through war. They come from the very substantial in- creased war budgets. In the capitalist press little as possible is said about these war prep- arations, the grand scale naval building and the grooming of the army. The war preparations are glorified as job providing activities of the government, as harmless, peaceful aid to the harrassed workers. But in the trade journals of the American war lords we can learn a great deal. Take this comment on what the army is doing from the Army and Navy Journal: “The organization of the United States into Corps Area Com- mands has proved sound. The ability of the army to take so huge a task in its stride scarcely attracting the attention of the country or of the press has been due to the decentralization of effort to nine small war departments, each more efficient than that in Wash- ington at the outbreak of the World War.” Without attracting the public, the army has been made more ef- ficient than at the outbreak of the World War, preparatory to the out- break of a new war. YM another source, the July issue of the “United States Naval In- stitute Proceedings,”, in an article by Howard G. Brownson, Ph. D., We learn that the “internal” policy of Roosevelt is the preparation for a new imperialist expansion somewhat on the lines of 1898 and 1917. Dr. Brownson says: “Now the nation is commencing that sharp internal readjust- ment which has inevitably led in the past to another period of great outward expension—1776, 1812, 1845, 1898 and 1917.” To these dates Roosevelt is seeking to add 1933 as the greatest slaughter of them all for colonial plunder and world markets. ‘The army and navy are getting ready. Roosevelt is starting war- time propaganda to get the minds of the workers ready for the new slaughter. Against the war program of the bosses we must rally the mightiest demonstration of the workers ever witnessed on August Ist, international day of struggle against imperialist war and for the defense of the Soviet Union. How Wages Can Be Raised ‘AN and will Roosevelt raise wages? Every capitalist newspaper is blazing with headlines: “DRIVE TO RAISE WAGES!” Every worker is vitally interested to know what there is in this. We have been given codes for this industry and that industry—and now all employers are asked to sign a “blanket code” which it is said will raise all wages everywhere, for everybody. (They are not to sign agree- ments with trade unions of the workers, but “with the President”— whatever that means). EVER has there been such a colossal swindle! Roosevelt and his code will not raise real wages—and could not, even if they were intended to. The Roosevelt program on behalf of the big bankers and trust heads who put up the money for his election, is to find a way out of*the present economic crisis not at the cost of the big employer. This means to lower the whole standard of living of the work- ing class—that is, “to lower labor costs.” This means less bread, less meat, less milk for every worker’s family—if the “New Deal” succeeds. * ‘The Roosevelt program includes the inflated dollar and higher prices of | everything the workers must buy. ‘Roosevelt says so himself. And—if the | capitalist press is now talking about a “drive to raise wages” by Roose- velt—it only means that besides cheapening the dollar and raising prices, Roosevelt intends to discourage and to prevent organization and strikes of the workers to resist the lowering standard of living which all of this implies. That is what Roosevelt's “drive to raise wages” would amount to at best, if it worked! And it is accompanied by a speed-up which means every worker must produce as much or more for every dollar of wages! But everybody sees that the workers are becoming ever more ready to fight against this outrage. Therefore it has to be dressed up with a lot of sound and fury about “raising wages” in order to deceive the workers into accepting the various industrial “codes” and the “blanket code.” ‘Talk about “wage raises by Roosevelt dceree is intended to paralyze the will and the power of the workers to organize and fight in this crucial hour, where starvation and slavery are the inevitable penalty of inaction. eee [AGES must be raised! They can be raised! But they can be raised only by the action of the workers them- selves, not by “good will” of capitalists (and their presidents) whose in- terests are to lower wages as they are now lowering them. The whole standard of living of the working class—which is sliding to hell accom- | panied by the capitalist newspaper tune of “Drive to Raise Wages” and the “Blanket Code Blues”—can and must be raised by the rallying of the whole working class to a savage struggle against the Roosevelt slave code system, the Wall Street Industrial Recovery Act. In every shop and factory of the United States our class faces the most profound and saared duty—the duty to fight for the right to live for ourselves and our chftaren. In every shop and factory, in every mine, and on the docks of every seaport the interests of the workers is to prepare for determined struggle. We can and will raise wages—by fighting! Roosevelt’s Cheap Promises whirlwind, hysterical campaign under the slogan of a blanket code, has begun by Roosevelt through a letter directed to every exploiter in the country. ‘This, says Roosevelt, is a drive for jobs. He promises 6,000,000 jobs. Roosevelt’s guaranty that he will create 6,000,000 new jobs soon after Labor Day is the fact that he failed to create the 3,000,000 jobs he prom- ised before the summer was over through the industrial recovery act. Promises come easier to Roosevelt than strikebreaking for the A. F. of L, leadership. The industrial recovery act is not designed to create jobs but to smash the struggle for unemployment insurance. Through a barrage of war propaganda, through straining every publicity channel of capitalism, Roosevelt is striving through promises to keep the employed and unem- Ployed from a united struggle for the most crying need of the working “population.of the United States—social insurance, * Against the florid promises of jobs, millions of jobs, the class conscious Ts should weld the forces of the toiling masses, employed and un- employed, for the demand of unemployment insurance. Jobs are a phantom, but the starvation of the jobless millions is Teal. bs To smash the illusion that are being created now and that will in- tensify as the Roosevelt war-time campaign gets into full swing, we must speed the organization and struggle for relief, for social insurance. More than ever, these words of the Open Letter, adopted by the Extraordinary Conference of the Communist Party recently held, ring cous clearly and truthfully: “We did not devote our full energy to the campaign for unem-, ployment and social insurance—a campaign offering the possibilities’ of welding the employed and unemployed, part-time and unemployed workers together against the bourgeoisie i “Closely linked up with the mobilization against the wage cut offensive {s the campaign for the organizing of the ‘struggle of the unemployed and part-time workers for immediate relief, and the organization of the struggle for UNEMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL INSURANCE at the expense of the government and the employers.” Roosevelt’s campaign for illusory jobs, should be answered by a real, “™tion-wide mobilization of sll workers for unemployment insurance, ‘Unemployed Force UMW.A, COUNCIL WORK JOINTLY IN SUB DISTRICT 3 Pete Onesik Tells Mine Meet of Many Homes Without Water By HERMAN MICHELSON Daily Worker Special Correspondent | SHENANDOAH, Pa., July 23—The! Unemployed Council here smashed} jthe forced labor system—the first | community in the state where it was| killed—with two mass marches to the county court house and picketing. Now, with unemployed miners’ water being cut off by landlords, the coun- cil is guiding the situation toward | other mass demonstrations to force) the town to act. Demands made the| authorities by- the leaders of the Unemployed Council were denied. At the United Mine Workers Sub- District board meeting Friday night Pete Onesik, union delegate and a leader in the, Unemployed Council, | made a strong speech demanding ac-| tion. He told of miners’ families| | where children are ill, being forced to carry water in buckets long dis- tances because the landlord has cut} off the water to save the 50 cents aj month water rate. 1 Clarence Eisenhower, a miner with| three children, one ill with a mastoid condition, and who hasn’t had a pay check for nearly three years, reported that the landlord had actually taken the kitchen sink out of his home, plugging the pipes. “TY going to get water,” Fisen- hower shouted. “If I can’t get it any other way—well, I’ve got seven sticks of dynamite in the house, and—I’m | going to get that water turned on} | again.” Joint Action The subdistrict of the United Mine Workers is now committed to act. Three delegates from the Unemployed Council sit with the mine board, and three union delegates act with the Council. Today the basis for mass ac- tion the mine board voted to first expose the landlords in the local press, and if action is not immediately | forthcoming, to make the mass dem- onstration, Even on the basis of conservative | governmnt figures, Schuylkill County ranks third among Pennsylvania | counties in extent of unemployment, | with nearly 50 per cent of all work-| ers reported completely jobless—not | | counting the part time workers. Re- lief for a family of five is $3 a week; | single men, $1. At first the town tried to put men on relief to work cleaning sewers, prettying the parks, | ete—laying off regular workers. The | Unemployed Council stopped that in short order. How do unemployed miners without reserves live There is an extensive Hooverville, and for some there is the business of coal “picking.” This is simply a matter of going out to the strippings, digging out the coal, and selling it. There have been battles | with the Coal and Iron Police, and} the work itself is extremely dangerous | since, working more or less surrep- titiously and without machinery, the miners can’t do proper timbering and simply have to take big chances. Some have been killed, others badly hurt in cave-ins. How They Live At Lost Crek, a mine village near- by, the collieries have been shut down 14 or 15 months, Ti¥2 miners had been going out, in regular day and night shifts, and digging out the coal —for themselves. The Coal and Iron Police attacked them. The miners were beaten up singly, sometimes ar- rested or driven off. They massed together and showed the police they were determined to use their picks and shovels as weapons of, defense. The miners’ wives hurried to the scene, armed with kettles of boiling | water and the police backed down. Word came from the company that the miners could go ahead and take the coal, but must only do it during the day. Nevertheless the miners are working two shifts regularly, taking out the coal and selling it. They get little enough, $2 or $3 a ton for the finest anthracite in the world, for which the bootleg dealer who trucks it to the cities gets $10—but to this small extent (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE: Zaynist Party U.S.A.

The only alternative would have been to sell out these large accounts with the open of the market Monday, with the result of a further break in prices.” To save the millions of “these large accounts,” the government has step- ped into the grain market.

Every instrument of propaganda used during the world war to terror- ie the workers in the shops as well as to drive the soldiers to war, will be used to put over the blanket code, ac cording to statements from the White House, The blanket code idea which is supposed to be voluntary on the part of the bosses but compulsory for the workers, provides for a 35 to 40 hour week with Wages ranging from $12 tol I “We Are At War eo “For the Promise of 6,000,000 Jobs By Sept. in War-time Propaganda Campaign $15 per week. Roosevelt claims this will put 6,000,000 men to work soon after Labor Day. When the national in- dustrial recovery act was originally public works construction, the presi- .| dent declared it would put 3,000,000 men to work. Not one worker has been employed to date on public con- struction funds coming from the in- dustrial recovery act, and thousands of textile workers were fired when the first code went into action in the textile industry, ‘& large, number - of ‘the worst. ex- - ploiters of labor, such as Sears Roe- buck & Co., have accepted the volun- tary blanket code, finding its fits in well with their slave driving schemes and low wage systems.
