F. | 01 Ie ' Business Falling i Green claims that more than 2,000,-! 000 workers have been re-employed.! (General Johnson had promised 6,000,- 000!) This is not true. While hun-) dreds of thousands unquestionably have been rehired, hundreds of thou- sands more have been fired since March 4. One has but to look at the New York Times index of Sept. 3 and there will find an almost steady decline since the third week in July in freight car loadings, steel mill ac- tivity, electric power production, automobile and lumber production. The New York Times declares: « “Last week provided little in the way of new developments to answer the questions worrying business men, On the whole, they were somewhat unfavorable, as they in- dicated that the seasonal slump has been deepened. New ortlers, more than actnal production, showed a decline. The steel, lum- ber and automobile industries found demand falling away sharply. Car loadings and electric power output were lower, while cotton forward- ings fell below those of a year ago for the first time in many months.” (Emphasis ours.) Reports pretended that the cotton textile industry was working far above normal capacity. A recent report, on the contrary, says: “Five mills closed this week in the South because con- sumption demand had not absorbed the textiles that had been producad.” Building in July dropped 11.3 per cent Leuch The write-up of the master Judas employed in the U.S. A that | off, Or bluebuzzard + below June.

Breadstuffs are 41% per'cent higher than in September of last year, With the introduction. of the codes, the wholesalers and re- tailers are raising their prices, which keeps the workers from buying. BEERS © A the same time, Green informs us that the buying power of the country has risen by five billions. This is poppycock. Some time ago, Miss Frances Perkins estimated that by the end of the year the earning power of the workers would have risen $390,000,000. What are hun- dreds of millions to Green? He de- clares that they amount to more that $287,000,000 a month more than in March. He adds month to month, and finds that by the end of the year the workers will have added $3,444,- 000,000 to their earnings. Then he adds $2,000,000,000 for the farmers, and the five billions is complete. How simple! Against Fight for Relief What is the purpose of this propa- ganda? To keep the workers from carrying on a real fight for improy- ing their conditions, despite the codes; to. keep the workers from a realization of the actual situation; and to fill them with faith in the Roosevelt program, so that when it fails—as it will fail—the screws can be put on them without any trouble. What prospect. does Green hold forth for the millions that have not and will not go back to work? Why jions come from and into which in- does he say nothing about the relief ‘es have they gone? This ques aituation, which is desperate, since the government, from Roosevelt down, are buncoing the workers into the idea that recovery will be completed and unemployment be ended. ae par WareR is coming. Relief is being cut more than in half.

The em- Ployers themselves have little faith in the success of quotation above shows that a spirit of confidence no longer exists. This accounts for the greater volume of ballyhoo, the campaign of terror and intimidation which the employers and the government are trying to put through, to force the worl to accept the act. Increased unemployment relief to meet the rising cost of food; a strug- gle against forced labor and against evictions—and above all, a nation- wide campaign for UNEMPLOY- MENT AND SOCIAL INSURANCE— is imperative. The Cleveland Con- ference for Unjted Action against the Recovery Act unanimously adopted & resolution in support of the Workers Unemployment and Social Insurance Bill and for unification of all forces in the country in carrying out the struggle. This is a central demand of all workers, which becomes more pressing with the “advance” of Roose- velt’s “recovery” act, , This is an IMMEDIATE demand of the hour.

One balloon, built by the Red Army, is scheduled to go up from Moscow tomorrow. It is expected to reach a height of about 65,600 feet. The other, the largest balloon ever built, will make an accent later this month. This ascent is sponsored by Osoaviakhim, the Civilian Air Society, in conjunction with the Leningrad Air Institute. This balloon is expected to reach twi-thirds of a mile higher than the army balloon. Neither is expected to set an altitude record, as the purpose of the ascent is to investigate the up- per regions suitable for airplane travel.
