National Frees WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1933 Fight for Bread! 18 only by immediate organization in the factories and neighborhoods, front of the shops and stores, that the workers and their families will be able to defeat the latest Roosevelt attempt to rob them of their daily bread For that is exactly what the newly created financial machinery for raising prices amounts to! Ever since Roosevelt took office he has ing up the cost of living. Yesterday Roosevelt’s cheapening of the dollar sent —_ in been jack the price of wheat, cotton, hogs, ete. leaping upward again. For the Wall Street speculators, the meat packing monopo he rich cotton merchants, this all means huge profits. They are reaping fortunes under the Roosevelt, program. But for the millions of exploited workers and small farmers of the country, for them and their families, i means more hunger, more suffering in their daily struggle to make ends meet When Roosevelt sends prices up, he is actually cut- ting the wages of the workers by reducing the amount ef food they can buy! And meanwhile the N.R.A. minimum wage codes act as a clamp to keep wages down while prices are rising! That is why Roosevelt was so anxious to fasten them upon the necks of the worker: Reesevelt tries to justify the robbing of the work- ers Bread by proclaiming that the farmer will benefit This is fraud, The manufactured articles that the fexmer must buy are rising faster than the farm goods he sells. Inflation really cuts the income of the small farmers. It is only the big landlords, the wheat speculators, and grain monopolies who profit from inflation. On top of this, Roosevelt’s Inflation intensifies the whole crisis in agriculture by choking the buying power markets in the cities, This spreads ruin among the farmers. And even move brutel, the. Roosevelt; inflation seizes the megare food allowances out of the hands of the unemployed workers amd their families. It reduces the amount of food can buy with the relief tickets, or the measly 1 allowances. Against the Roosewlt hunger attack, the farmers and workers of the iry must prepare to fight. In every factory mine, the workers must gather to discuss ways and ns to fight the Roosevelt dis- guised wage cut! Where there are mo wntons, they must organise at once Factory and Department Committees to demand higher wages! In the unions, the most begin to prepare ges, for strikes to meet the Hising eost of living. \ The N.R.A. minimum starvation wages must be | smashed and lifted upward by the organized strug- gies of the workers. Ci jttees must be immediately formed to demand upw: revision of the N.R.A. mini- ‘mums, which are being #lently reduced by the rising prices! In the neighborhoods, the housewives and families must form Consumers groups to picket before the bakewies, groceries, and stores. ‘The fight for lower food prices must begin at once! Pight for high to meet rising cost of living! Defeat the Roose ation wage cut! Interpreting 7-a IDENT ROOSEVEBT has two methods of inter- preting the labor clause of the N.R.A., the now in- famous Section 7-a. One is by deeds, and the other is by periodic phra: to bolster up the workers’ rap- idly waning illusions * After his inflation speech, forecasting a smashing Gut in the American workers’ living standard, Roose- yelt on Monday turned his attention to handing the bosses a powerful lash against union organization and strikes. To keep the workers from struggling for wage MMecreases and for union recognition to fight rising living costs, Roosevelt indicates to the bosses how they ean blast union organization, He dealt with t -called “merit” clause. Under this formulation, the automobile bosses achieved full N.R.A. support for the open shop. The “merit” clause in the auto code provides that the bosses can hire and fire on the basis of “individual merit.” Originally, this clause read that “to preserve the open shop,” individual merit should be the key. William Green, John L. Lewis, and other A. F. of L. officials on the National Labor Board gave their approval to this “merit” clause. ™ow Roosevelt declares no other codes should con- tain the merit clause. At the same time he tells the exploiters there is nothing in Section 7-a that inter- feres with “the right of an employer to select retain, or advance employees on the basis of individual merit.” This is the open shop. [HEN Roosevelt; signed the open shop auto code he automatically and simultaneously granted every boss in the country the right of the open shop. He did more. Both he and General Johnson opened a cam- Ppaign against strikes at the very moment the steel trust | aud coal operators were shooting down strikers de- - manding union recognition. - Outstanding in the collapse of the N.R.A.’s attempts j solve the crisis of capitalism js the fact that the sections will be strengthened as a fascist measure the workers. It has already behind i the precedent of a long of murders and fascist deeds against the workers. it this Roosevelt said not a word. He declared Section 7-a will stand as it is, to be used as it DATLY WORSER3 NEW: YORK, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1933 was in the auto, steel and coal industries. Just as the first inflation shot was answered with a rising wave of strike struggles, Roosevelt knows that his present undermining of the workers’ standard of living, will be met with a more powerful movement of resistance. He is already sharpening the knife in the N.R.A, (Section 7a) to stab the workers in the back n° MATTER how much Roosevelt talks about the \ right of “collective bargaining,” the employers know that the heart of his interpretation lies in the right to hire and fire individually Rooseyelt’s interpretation of the Section the bosses a club to for “merit” firing. For example the New York Sun in its headlines in- terprets Roosevelt’s phrases about the labor sections of the N.R.A. precisely as all exploiters of labor will: “Industry Codes’ Merit Clause Wins Approval of Roose- Ta gives single out all active union workers velt,” they declare. “President in his letter to Jobn- son says employers’ rights are maintained.” ‘The bosses’ right to shoot down strikers, to fire union workers, to crush organization and struggle for higher pay are “inaintained” by the latest interpreta - tion of the President of the United States. ‘To answer this stamp of approval for more fascist attacks against the workers and their organizations, it is necessary to strengthen the unions, mobilize them for resistance and struggle. In the A. F. of L., where besides the attacks of the bosses, the workers face the double drive of the A. F. of L. officials and the N.R.A., it is necessary for all militant workers to form oppo- sitions to prepare for struggle. Where no unions exist, | shop and department committees should be set up. The workers’ rights can be preserved only by their own actions on every front. Unity of all workers, re- gardless of their organizational affiliations, is the main requisite for a successful resistance to the bolder on~ slaughts of the bosses countenanced and supported by the Roosevelt regime. The City Election ‘HE city mayoralty campaign has only more to go before the elections. Only one candidate, Robert Minor, the Commu- nist candidate, has clearly stated the issues—adequate relief for the city jobless and their families, the smash- ing of the Wall Street grip on the city by the can- cellation of the huge interest and loan payments, abolition of all taxes for the workers and small. home owners, and the placing of a 10 per cent capital levy on the fortunes of the rich. Minor is the only candidate who openly fights to end once and for all the paying of hundreds of mil- lions of dollars to the Morgan-Rockefeller clique that. actually runs the city through its Tammany-Repub- lican office boys. He alone has fought on the picket lines in the face of police brutality for the right to picket and strike against the N.R.A. slave codes. Minor is the only candidate who dares to pro~ claim that the present tax arrangement with the Wall Street bankers means the doom of the present 5 cent fare. As the present campaign progresses the complete lack of any real difference between the capitalist tnree weeks candidates, the sterility of their pronouncements on the City’s financial situation are increasingly ap- parent. Last night this was revealed in a typical manner. LaGuardia, the holy knight of the Fusion cause, delivered some pretty damning proof that the sanc- timonious McKee is part and parcel of the gangster- dom, police corruption, and racketeering that have made the New York Tammany government a classic of capitalist municipal rule. Bat behind LaGuardia, at this particular meeting, sat General James G. Harbord, millionaire Wall Street banker and militarist. This man who sponsors LaGuardia is an open servant of the Morgan banking house at Wall Street. He is part of the machine that weltered in the notori- ous Harding corruptions. It is obvious that neither McKee nor LaGuardia will do anything to relieve the workers of the city from the yoke of corruption and Wall Street rule. Both of these candidates are in favor of the Un- termeyer tax agreement—an agreement that guaran~ tees the bankers more millions than ever before, and which places the tax burdens of the city squarely on the backs of the poorest sections of the city’s popula- tion. Why is LaGuardia silent on the five-cent fare? Because, as Robert Minor has pointed out again and again, he is really pledged to abolish it in favor of higher fare to pay the banks! On relief, LaGuardia as weil as McKee have openly pledged to continue the cruel, brutal, and totally in- adequate relief program of the O’Brien regime. For the workers of the city the issue is clear. Either their welfare or the profits of the bankers. Minor alone fights against the bankers. All the other candidates will not touch one cent of the bank~- ers’ millions. Minor alone would open the Wall Street money vaults to feed the Jobless worker: The Nazi Rally in N. Y. AYOR O'BRIEN has no real wish to stop the Nazi mass rally in the armory at Lexington Avenue and 26th Street next Sunday evening. Haying made his demagogic gesture for the sake of the votes of the strong anti-Nazi elements in New York, he is obviously prepared to allow the meeting to go on as scheduled, with perhaps some insignificant changes in the program, which will not change its vicious character. This meeting is the supreme effort of the agents of the bloody Hitler in America to establish a foot- hold, after their successive defeats by the anti-Nazi forces in their smaller previous meetings. This meeting is not only an attempt to rally New York German sentiment to the support of the Nazi butchers of Germany. It is much more than that. It is an effort to give Fascism its foot-hold in Amer- ica, to rally America’s anti-working class forces to follow in the footsteps of Hitler and Mussolini. This meeting is a brazen challenge to the workers of New York. Only the workers can and will thwart the plans of the Fascists. Workers of New York, come to the Workers Court in Central Opera House tonight, hear the Nazi hang- men placed on trial before a workers’ jury.

In order to achieve this aim, we, the Soviev Government, have given them land, houses and work. We have built houses and schools in which children and adults are taught free. We have established hospitals. We have in- troduced the eight-hour day. We have relieved the women from the fetters of household slavery. A handful of parasites who rule China have refused and still refuse our people these elementary rights and conditions of a decent human life. They are foreign imperialists, the native militarists, big landown- ers, big capitalists and the rich ex- tortioners.
