A delegation of workers, led by Ben Lapidus, of the Unemployed Council, Communist Party candidate for assemblyman in the third as- sembly district, visited the offices of the owner of the apartment, Foss and Dohm, at 501 Ninth Ave. Mariotti, the delegation declared, was given three days notice to get out, on the ground that he “has not rented enough apartments.” He is/ janitor of the building but gets no} pay, only rent free, and in addition to janitor duties, had to rent out the apartments. He was ordered out | before Monday morning. Monday the Foss and Dohm com- pany was to evict the worker. Sat- urday night an open air meeting was held and the workers were also mobil- ized Monday morning. The agent came around, but finally, in view of the workers’ determination to refuse to allow an eviction, agreed to pay Mariottj $25 for moving and rent, and give him a week to get out. The workers of the block are determined to force the landlord to live up to his agreement and will hold another mass meeting Friday night to seg that Mariotti is not evicted. The Spartacus Ciub and the [Italian Workers Club is aiding the Unem- ployed Council in the fight against the eviction. Defend Your Vote! Defend your Party’s vote!

Green J uggles ‘F igures and Facts on Jobless Statement Backing Roosevelt Adds Millions to Those Re-Hired; Ignores Price Rise NEW YORK.—The statement of William Green on the “success? of | President Roosevelt’s unemployment program and the N.R.A, is based on grossly false figures. Green, issuing his praise of the N.R.A. simultaneously with Roosevelt’s speech, claimed that “When the rise in prices is taken into consideration, workers’ effective buying power has increased by 20.5 per cent T.) the N.R.A, ‘codes.) since March” and that “the dollar increases in total workers buying power from March to Sept. was 30.7 per cent.” Green’s figures are disproved even by the official figures of the govern- ment. The N.R.A. “consumers board” states that the cost of living has gone up 20 per cent for foodstuffs since February, and government fig- ures show a rise of 24 per cent in the cost of clothing in the same period. Green’s extravagant juggling of millions in figures on the number of workers re-employed, following the same line as Roosevelt's speech, are as easily disproved. The current issue of the Annalist, Oct. 20, reports an increase in Sept. of 1.3 per cent in the ccst of living, and “a decrease of 0.4 per cent for the same month in real wages.” Green said that his unemployment figures are “striking proof of the results of the application of the shorter hour week for labor in various N.R.A. codes” and his claim is that “unem- ployment was reduced 1,700,000 in the months of August and September, with 3,600,000 given jobs since; March.” Available figures of the employers’ economists and the government agen- cies makes these claims appear ridic- ulous, We read in the current Annalist for industry as a whole, “The An- nalist Index of business activity shows another sharp decline, the prelim- inary figure for September being 76.9 |as against 83.4 for August and 89.4 for July... . The current business recession has cancelled about 40 per cent of the March-July recovery” (this rise was due to speculation on Further, “The drop jn September of U. S. Stee! unfilled steel orders to the lowest since the corporation was founded in 1901, together with an additional de- cline in ingot production from the July peak, reflect the further ex- haustion of the summer wave of activity in the industry.” The statements of Green are made in the face of admitted decline in industrial production, which means decreased employment, and in the face of rising prices and rise in the cost of living for the workers, In those places where there has been a: slight rise ‘in employment, the wages have not kept pace. For example, state department of labor figures for Mlinois report today a 2.8 per cent rise in employment, but the same | Source admits that payrolls went up| in the same period, in September, only 0.6 per cent. Directly contrary to Green's praise of the Roosevelt “recovery” program are all reports of business conditions. The Federal Reserve Bank reports a drop of 2.2 per cent in the depart- ment store sales for the first two weeks of October as compared to last year. The New York Times of Sun- day comments, “the drop in dollar volume means that unit sales have decreased a little over 17 per cent here. Consumers are buying less.” The workers in the fase of the higher prices and decline in production and real wages, and the continued severe unemployment crisis, are unable to buy as much as before the N.R.A. went into effect. President Green admits to more than ten million still being unem- ployed. He admits that “Most of the effects of the re-employment pro- gram (of the Roosevelt government —Ed.) have already been felt. But Green understates the number now unemployed by several million, and juggles figures, just as Johnson and Roosevelt did, of 850,000 being re- hired in August and a like number in September. The figures on the sharp declines in production belie Green’s figures, which have no basis in fact. Of those “re-hired” the 300,000 in the conservation camps, under mill- tary discipline, have had to give practically all of their dollar a day “salary” to their families to replace relief which was cut off when they were sent to the camps. |All Demands Won by |New Haven Furniture Workers Thru Strike NEW HAVEN, Conn.

Jensen, county su- perintendent of charities tried to dis- claim responsibility by declaring he would launch a “sweeping investiga- tion.” Jensen hopes to whitewash his own personal connection with this graft, by this gesture. Although he declared that the evidence has just come to his attention, it was reported early in the year by the Western Worker that some one was getting a take-off out of the food doled out by the county. The charges against Jensen’s char- ity activities include statements that men getting work orders are forced to pay a percentage of their earnings to Jensen’s clerks, Jobless Garment Workers Give $22 to Daily Worker NEW YORK.—Workers of the ne Money Went to Pay Soldiers, Assassins in Fight on Workers Senate Committee Not; Interested in Details of Cuban Loans By MARGUERITE YOUNG (Washington Bureau, Daily Worker) ‘WASHINGTON, Oct. 23—A Sen- ate Committee was informed today that the State Department and Gen- eral Enoch H, Crowder, former Amer- ican Ambassador to Cuba, approved of the Chase National Bank’s huge loans to finance the deposed dictator, Gerardo Machado, after Crowder had personally declared that a similar loan previously proposed would be so questionable that he would have to make “immediate protest to the State Department.” This, and other testimony before the Senate Investigating Committee demonstrated that the Platt Amend- ment, sacrosanct legal basis on which the American government rests its “duty” to ring Cuba with battleships to stem the tide of workers’ and farmers’ revolt, was only the tradi- tional “scrap of paper” to officals who declared themselves aware that the same Platt Amendment would be violated. This testimony came from Shepard Morgan, bland and wolfish vice-pres- ident of the Chase National Bank. He gave it willingly enough, basing himself on the following remark: “The credit arrangement was re- ported in full to Ambassador Crow- der and to the State Department. They gave the Chase National Bank a letter stating that they took no exception.” Both the proposed (and disap- proved) loan, and the loans of ap- proximately $80,000,000, which were Jater approved and actually advanced, were to finance Machado’s “public works” program, The Senate Investi- gating Committee did not go into the well-known fact that the public works funds were actually the source of Machado's private enrichments and one of the sources from which he financed his army and his private assassins. The Committee is inter- ested mainly in superficial financial irregularities. In bringing out these irregularities, Ferdinand Pecora, Counsel for the Committee, put into the record a memorandum from one Chase official to another, reporting that General Crowder in 1925 declared that the “public works” program was to be financed by “extraordinary revenue” or special taxes. General Crowder pointed out that the Platt amend- ment expressly required that loans ior public works must be financed by “ordinary revenue.” Pecora declared that Crowder had “grave concern” lest the whole public works project involve some illegal- ity. Again Morgan had an embarrassing answer. . Pecora produced a letter from an- other Chase official reporting that Cuba was already in a whirlwind of economic depression when Chese was financing the “public works” on the basis of speciel taxation. “That was substantially similar to} the present Roosevelt public works! program,” Morgan returned. “De-| plorable economic conditions were the very reason for the Joan and the public works program. The govern- ment embarked on its program to improve conditions.” Scores of bankers smiled. Sitting in varying attitudes of arrogance, petu- lance, and (rarely) discomfort, they and their retinue of lawyers and other flunkeys filled one whole side of the vast hearing room, Among them were Martin Conboy, Tammany lawyer and Roosevelt’s personal law- yer in the “investigation” of former Mayor James J. Walker. Judge Threatens Young Strikers With Jail and Fine} NEW YORK.—The cases of ten) young workers,-who were arrested at a demonstration in front of the Fash- ion Art Knitting Mills in Brownsville, were postponed last Tuesday, after a stiff legal battle between the Inter- national Labor Defense attorney and Magistrate Sabbatino. At first, refusing to postpone the cases, Magistrate Sabbatino launched into a tirade of patriotic phrases, ler Loans oo o ¥ to Machado Kick-Off by Minor NE of the preliminaries was still in progress when Bob Minor appeared under the Crotona Park stands, Towering above | the crowd which came to see him kick off the first ball of the | Metropolitan Workers’ Soccer League, New York’s Communist candidate for Mayor beamed and gesticulated happily as he moved into the jammed gallery.

Bob went down the dressing room and sat around in his shirt sleeves, If Pop, harassed patriarch of Crotona Park, ever writes that auto- templating the occasion will warrant more than a footnote. Even Pop, the groundkeeper, hoary with experience and dripping from tradition, was im- pressed. Minor sat in the Red Sparks room, smiling his hearty, naive smile. The players joshed him respectfully, of- fering their soccer shoes, asking whether he'd ever played soccer be- fore. A dozen kids’ faces shut out the light from the basement window. Somebody's injury is painted up with Shoe Strikers Hear _ Washington Report Borough of Brooklyn, in a statement to the Daily Worker on the recent hearings in Washington before the National Labor Board declared: “The shoe workers will gain as little in Washington from the National Labor Board as they dic in New York under Grover Whalen and the N.R.A., un- less they are determined to carry this fight through to a finish. We have received advance information that the manufacturers will be present at the National Labor Board meeting on Tuesday and that there will be a showdown. The National Labor Board will either have to admit that Section 7a does not mean anything to the workers or they will have to Tecognize that the strike is under the leadership of the Shoe and Leath- er Workers Industrial Union and the manufacturers will have to deal with the workers through their chosen representatives.” Biedenkapp declared then, as he saw that the workers in the courtroom were sympathetic to the young workers, he laid off the case to Monday. In a 15-minute speech, Sabbatino warned the young workers if they came up before him again that they would get the limit, $50 fine and si months in the work- house. He also told the boss that if there were any more meetings held around the factory, he was to notify the police immediately. This is not the first arrest in the strike. The brutality of the boss of the mill has reached such an extent that he attacked one of the workers and hit his eye, almost blinding him. The strike, led by the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union, is whole- heartedly supported by the workers of Brownsville and vicinity. Docker Wounded in Union Racket Strife NEW YORK, — John Kelly, 19, longshoreman, was wounded Wed- nesday night by a sub-machine gun in a 10th Ave. beer garden. Kelly, held by the police as a material wit- ness, refused to make any statement, aside from admitting that the shots were meant for him. The shooting is believed to arise from a dispute within the Interna- tional Longshoremen’s Association, where some small groups of workers are trying to oust the racketeer lead- ership, of which Kelly 1s reported to left wing group of Local Union 9, International Ladies Garment Workers, contributed $22 to the Daily Worker, esp the fact majority of its members are unemployed. be a leader, ‘The Rank and File Opposition of the LL.A. issued a statement point- that immediately after the meeting the shoe strikers’ delegation were leaving for Washington together with Attorneys Boudin and Buitenkant, prepared with affidavits from the shop chairmen of all the striking shops and from workers in the Boot and Shoe Union to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Shoe and Leather Workers Industrial Union is the only union the workers recog- nize as their leader in the present strike struggle and that any effort of the Boot and Shoe Union offi- cials to muscle in on the present sit- uatidn brands this organization as a strikebreaking institution.” City Events Daily Worker Chorus The Daily Worker Chorus under the direction of Lahn Adohmyan re- hearses every Wednesday and Sun- day nights at 8 p.m. at 106 E. 14th St. All workers interested are asked to come to rehearsals and join up immediately, 3 a Attention Y.C.L.

The Crotoma fans are interested and flattered im a sense. Obviously this is no cam- paign baby-kissing and cigar dis- tributing. There’s no ‘bunk about this impressive, shirt-sleeved man or about the red-jerseyed teams. Red Sparks and Fichte are combi- nations of proven ability and their endorsement carries a certain pres- tige in that corner, They're well set-up boys but as they pose for the picture Bob still stands out promi- nently. The camera clicks and thousands of leaflets fly from the grandstand’s higher points: “We, the members of Red Sparks and Fichte Athletic Clubs, support the candidacy of Minor and the Com- munist Party ticket because this Par- ty alone has demonstrated its inter- est in the workingman by putting forward # program for more recrea- tional facilities. “Minor has advanced the following demands: “1, Every public school gymnasium to open five evenings per week as a |recreation center free of charge; | school playgrounds to be open after school and for the week-ends; school pools to be open after school hours to the public free of charge. “2. City to build more playgrounds particularly in crowded sections, “3, No fees for permits to public ball fields and tennis courts. More courts and fields to be built.

All gyms and playgrounds to be supervised by trained instructors at regular rates of A “Furthermore, Communists, by their constant siruggies for relief, against evictions, against racial prejudice, against war, indicate that they alone are sincere in their platform, Any party can make statements, but we belicve only those who act on these things throughout the year.” 4 Stat OB kicks off and retires into the stands. He sits in the crowd, asks questions, becomes absorbed in the play. The teams start off fast and it’s obviously Red Sparks all the way. They are the class of the league, while Fichte is spotty though effec- tive in spurts. Two goals are scored in the first few minutes of play, both on passes from the left wing. The Fichte goalie is courageous enough, but not in Red Sparks’ class. A pen- alty goes past him and another goal. 4:0 at the end of the first half, Bob is scheduled for a meeting at Rockland Palace and leaves reiute tantly. Somebody offers to take him in a car. “I have a car,” he says. “Went and borrowed a Ford to knock about in.” Cheering again as he stands, The crowd -stays on. The second half is more even and the score stands. Red Sparks is playing with two subs and though the game is looser, it's just as enjoyable, Fichte fights hard and there are several brilliant individual plays but no com- bination, The “Vote Communist” signs wore off gradually, The “Vote Communist” appeared to have stuck.
