The morning of the day they left the girls were asked to sign the pay- roll for the $5 that is presumably spent by camp authorities for their week's expenses.

He spoke at the meeting welcoming Mother Patterson to his town. Richard Moore asked how long it was to the election. The reply was three days. mayor, telling how this same mayor had jailed Negro and white workers for speaking on the Scottsboro case.

All divisions of the government are pursuing a program | of shirking responsibility. For the unemployed this brings out the most glaring necessity for a struggle for federal unemployment insurance. The whole aim of the federal government is to make the largest division in relief distribution, so that the workers are shifted from city to county, state,“ and federal, and neither of these divisions take any responsibility for giving relief. With the continuous refusal on the part of Roosevelt's appointee to give aid, it is necessary to get a wide mobilization of organizations to demand that President Roosevelt call a special session of Congress to adopt the Federal Workers’ Unem- ployment Insurance Bill, IN ONE NIGHT, AGENCIES REPORT LOS ANGELES, Cal—Mcre than 12,680 homeless girls knocked at the doors of the Salvation A Y.

St, Louis Srike, ST, LOUIS.—At the G, Mathes Co. where a strike is on for two weeks | against sweatshop conditions, the | company has declared that it would | not employ Negro workers, although | it has employed them for the past nine years. Raising the issue of Negro rights, the union is making this ac- | tion of the boss an important issue among the Negro masses here and | is calling for mass picketing to de- fend the rights of the Negro people | to work and to live. | || eel the short spurt in produc- | tion, stimulated by inflation, such huge stores of goods were piled up that the leading capitalists had to | hire new warehouses to store them in, The increase in production did not bring about an increase in pay- rolls, and as officially admitted, em- ployment lagged far behind. | So low has the purchasing power | of the masses dropped, so deep is the poverty of the toiling population, that these huge surpluses were smashed without any great increase | in production for the first half of 1933 as compared to 1932. George W. Bolton, writing for the financial section of the New York | Evening Post, Saturday, July 22, ums up the “prosperity” achieved uring the reign of Roosevelt, and e finds the following comparisons: “Despite the rapid upturn, steel ingot production for the first six months of 1933 was only 8,989,192 gross tons, compared with 7,688,210 gross tons for the first half of 1932. Only huge forward buying in June made possible the improvement over last year. | “Car loadings up to last week | were 13,780,941, a decline of 5.1 per | cent from 1932. “Electric power output for the | year to last week was slightly less | than 1 per cent under 1932.” | \Thus, totalling up the Roosevelt | “prosperity” it amounts to a drop in these important lines except steel production. But where did this steel go? ! THE same writer answers this ques- | tion as follows “It is indicated that about 59 per Spurt in Production Chokes Warehouses; Workers Can’t Buy ' Half of Steel Goes Into Stock, Says Capitalist Writer; Chain Stores) ne ac u aesentd wo sop site| Have Goods for a Year Speculating on Higher Prices the ‘form of invisible inventories. The steel companies hold large sup- plies of semifinished steel while thousands of small steel consumers, such as producers of locks and hardware, have also accumulated inventories.” But this is only a small extent of the total overproduction and stock- ing up. The automobile have not only been stocking auto- mobiles but have their warehouses full of steel, cloth and other raw materials so that they will not have to buy for a long time. ee tees 'T of 33,000,000 shoes produced half went into the warehouses and not to cover the feet of the mil- lions of unemployed or employed workers. Here is another startling fact Bol- ton tells us: “One of the largest chain groc- ery systems, which normally keeps on hand twenty days supply of flour, is understood to have pur- chased its requirements until next June (that is, for a whole year). And again: “Leading department stores are un- derstood to have filled their éwn warehouses and to have leased ad- ditional, ones.” wee ee JOW that the worehouses are bulg- ing, what will happen to produc- tion?

These facts show why Roosevelt’s promise of 6,000,000 jobs is a lie out of the whole cloth. There is another angle to this | stocking up. "THE steel and auto bosses are de- Uberately stocking up preparing |to smash major strikes which they expect for higher wages. They do not feel Roosevelt will be successful in holding back the mass discontent | and that strikes will break out. They want to be in a position to have goods on hand so that they can be better able to smash strikes. In the offices of United States Steel Corporation, General Motors, the big coal companies, and other huge corporations the strategy of re- cee to strikes is discussed every | day. We get a faint but important echo of this in the financial papers pub- lished for the big bosses and bank- ers, POR example, we learn the follow- ing from the July 21st issue of the Annalist, the foremost financial sheet. D. W. Ellsworth, summing up )an article on the present business , Situation and the industrial recov~ jery act says: ‘Finally, there Is the danger of | ‘The Industrial st ed union activity on an unpreced- | exited scale and is putting inte the | heads of the rank and file exag- gerated notions of the prespe: that is within their easy grasp un- der the ‘New Deal’... there is a | very grave danger that before the final chapter on the new planned economy is written we shall have labor disturbances of a kind never before experienced.” | Clearly the bosses fear strikes the | like of which have. never been seen. Mr, Ellsworth blames tl “exag- gerated notions” of prosperity as a causé of the impending strikes. Quite the contrary is true. . Roosevelt's | demagogy, his promises of prosperity, | higher weges are intended to keep back strikes during the present cri- tical period of inflation and the per- spective of greater inflation, so that later, when the slave codes are in effect, the government can step in more powerfully and drastically to attempt to end every form of strug- gle by the workei ANY workers have been filled with illusions about the act, and more than one bozs has stalled off a strike by promising incrcascd wages “when the codes come up.” The A.
