Many workers who are called by the Labor Clerk to go on certain jobs, refuse to go because they are aware of these rotten jobs, that it isn’t worth while to spend the car- fare. Récently a middle-aged worker was sent on a job into a certain shop in Brooklyn, and came back the next day telling the Labor Clerk he could not earn more than seven cents an hour. In this shop the, Blue Eagie was hanging on the wall. Hillman, the president of the Amalgamated, signed the code with the bosses for the tailors on.,40-cent per hour as the minimum wage scale, and the bosses are doing their part in exploiting the workers more than before. The tailors must unite in the shops and put up a struggle against their betrayers, and fight for real condi- tions, for week work and against speed-up. Letters from Our Readers KANSAS CITY, TAKE NOTE Mariville, Mo. Comrade Editor: I very much desire to join the Communist Party. I have asked the Communist Party headquarters at 35 E. 12th St., New York City, to give me information about joining the Communist Party. They advised me that District No. 10, Kansas City, Mo., would take up my case, but I never have heard anything from them. I realize that the Party has to be véry careful to keep itself clean and free from: crooks, and I realize the Party needs active workers. I also know that mé being a small dealer in merchandise, is not looked upon as being so favorable. So here goes. I will state my case and see if real Reds like myself can get in the Communist Party. I was raised in a republican fam- ily on a farm and before I became grown I could see things were wrong. So I found out about the Appeal to Reason, a SociaNst paper and sub- scribed for it. I also took the Na~ tional Rip Saw of St. Louis. I also had the pleasure of meeting Kate Richards O'Hare, a well-known So- cialist, who lived at that time in St. Louis.

Therefore, why do you talk So, Roosevelt is also going to abolish war? Just as the N.R.A. talks higher wages but act- & he is abolishing the crisis! ually cuts real wages, so does the new deal talk about peace but really pre- pares for and carries on war. The NRA established a three-bil- lion dollar fund supposedly for “pub- | lic works.” This is being expended mainly to launch the greatest navy building and military pprogram the world has ever seen. All these warships, bombing planes, tanks, poison gas, army camps, etc., these are the means for establishing “more neighborly relations?” Yes? Tell that to Japan and England, end see how much they believe it! Japan and England, France, Ger- many, and Italy—all are feverishly making the same sort of preparations for “more neighborly relations!” All arm to the teeth against each other —and all try to unite for a moment for war against the Soviet Union. How strange, how typical of the topsy-turvy times in which we live, that such blatant hypocrisy can fool anyone eevn for a moment. And such a moment, when the whole world knows that it is faltering on the brink of the most destructive war the world ever witnessed! Even the most “constrictive” meas- ure of Roosevelt’s “new deal,” the Tennessee River development around the Muscle Shoals hydroelectric plant, is a senseless thing until it is seen as a part of a war program. At the same time that Roosevelt pays out many hundreds of millions of dollars (taken from the masses by special! sales taxes) to the farmers in order to persuade them to REDUCE PRO- DUG@TION, to plow’ under every fourth row of cotton, to leave stand idle every fourth acre of wheat land, to slaughter six million pigs to re- duce the production of meat—at this same moment he spends more hun- dreds of millions to complete and put into operation the Muscle Shoals fertilizer plant. To produce fertilizer is useful to increase production in agriculture, the opposite of Roose- velt’s program. But the method in this madness can be seen, when we recall that Muscle Shoals is a fer- tilizer plant only by afterthought. In the first place it is a monster muni- tions plant, te produce explosives of war. The NRA is from beginning to the end a part of the program of war | and preparations for war. “Yes, the selfish, bad capitalists are doing all the things you describe,” ad- mits our Rooseveltian enthusiast; “But Roosevelt himself is a good, well-meaning man who is doing his best for us, and fighting against all these bad things.” That reminds me of a story. An old Scotchman had for many years been a member of a savings and loan association. Came the day when he wanted to obtain a loan. He went with war,” says our faithful seppester more friendly relations with other about: war?” Yes,much the same as to his old friend, the chairman of the Board, with his application. The |/ chairman said; “Sandy, I'd do any- | thing in the world for you personally. | But this is something that must i decided by the entire Board.” Sanc! visited each member of the Boar and got the same reply from eaci. Contentedly he waited for the Board to meet, sure of the support of each member as his Joyal personal friend. After’ the Board’ meeting, the aston- ished Sandy was informed by the chairman that his appliration had been turned down. “Well,” said | Sandy, sadly disillusioned, “personally each member of the Board is a good man-and my personal friend, but col- lectively I must say that you're the | Worst bunch of bastards I ever met.” And so it is with that “good man” | Roosevelt who is such a firm “friend” of the workers and all the oppressed. | He is-at-the same time the chairman of the Board that must make all de- cisions “collectively.” He is the chair- |man of the executive committee of |the capitalist class. That is what \the job of President of the United States means. How childish it is to think that \the “goodness” or “badness” of the individual Roosevelt can make the | slightest..difference in regard to the policies of government! The government, with Roosevelt at the heed. is trying to save the cap- italist system. ‘To’ save the system makes necessary’to put the burdens of the crisis upon the workers, farm- jers, and middle classes.
