Financial Pickpocketing Roosevelt gold buying program is not some ysterious, aloof, financial chess game which does not affect the daily lives of the workers and small farmers of this country. Roosevelt's action yesterday in raising the price of | gold affects the bread and butter of every working class family. .. What is Roosevelt actually doing? doing it? Roosevelt has proclaimed that he will now buy gold from those who have it, at a price much higher than-the price which is set in the world money markets. eThat is to say, for every ounce of gold, Roosevelt ‘will pay higher prices (more dollars) than before. “This means that more dollars will be necessary to get an olince of gold than previously. Or, in other And why is he | Words, that the gold value, the gold content of the American dollar will be lower. _ AS a result, every American dollar will be more and e pure paper, and will be worth less in gold—con- having less purchasing power. _ Naturally, as dollars get cheaper in purchasing » More dollars are required to buy the same 1ount of goods. The same amount of goods, commodities, are now serie: to a larger number of dollars. You need te-doliars to get the same amount of bread, milk, §, meat, etc., that you used to buy. It is like a scale. The lighter the weights get on one. ‘side, the more you need of them to maintain _ balance. Which is another way of saying that Roosevelt's | gold. buying program is a financial trick that raises "prices and cheapens doliars. Roosevelt’s financial inflation trickery is then actn- @ means of slicing dollars into pennies. 1en Roosevelt deliberately bids up the price for and jacks up prices, it means that he is slash- g the buying power of wages, salaries, farm income, ” “ieans that he ts steadily melting away the valus gassed and shot | ANT, Spanish-speaking workers in the United | ought most militantly, | é plantations, where these | 4s DAILY WORKER, ‘ela!

It also means that the capitalist employers are actually having their cost of production reduced (since increased (since prices are rising). And Roosevelt has only just begun! This is only his first step. He will soon take another slice off the values of the dollar—and then still more, in his effort | to raise prices. | The Dollar is now worth about 60 cents. That | means that a worker, for example, who continues to get $10 a week, is actually getting $6 a week without the boss having to go the risk of cutting down the number of dollars in his wages! This simply means that even to maintain their present real wages (in terms of buying power) the workers must fight for higher wages, more dollars! If | their wages (number of dollars) remain the same, Roosey goid buying program jis giving them a masked wage cut. There is only one way to meet this financial pick- pocketing of the Roosevelt government. As Roosevelt jacks prices up, the workers must face him with the unyielding demand for higher wages, more dollars! More doliars for the workers! Higher wages! Lower prices! This must be the immediate demand of the toiling masses of the country. Perkins Strikebreaking JERY worker and honest supporter of the right of the ers to strike against starvation should be aroused into instant action to stop the deportation proceedings just begun against Frank Borich, Secre- tary of the National Miners Union, He has just been seized by agents of the Depart- ment of Justice, who are holding him for deportation to the Fascist government of Jugo-Slavia. By this act, the Roosevelt government is, very ob- viously, doing its damndest to help the Morgan- controlled U. S.-Steel Trust break the heroic strike of the coal miners in its Pennsylvania “captive” mines. Why is the Roosevelt government so interested in Frank Borich? Because he is the National Secretary of the National Miners Union, the revolutionary trade union in the coal fields. Because he has been par- ticularly active with the rank and file of the National United Mine Workers of America in their fight for the recognition of thelr union, and against the sell- out agreements of the corrupt Lewis machine. It is John L. Lewis, betrayer of the rs in- terests, scheming together with Miss Perkins, who is responsible for the pressing of deportation charges against Borich. It is- because Borich represents a threat to the ‘ikebreaking Lewis machine and the profits of the Wall Street Steel Trust that they are scheming to get him out of the way! And the Roosevelt government is, therefore, try- ing to protect these Wall Street profits by striking at the working class leaders of the miners who lead the coal miners against this capitalist trust. It is as a strikebreaker that the Roosevelt govern- ment acts in seizing Borich. en T IS not only Botich whom the Roosevelt govern- ment is after. On the very same day that Borich was seized, two days ago, Secretary of Labor Parkins announced that a new drive against foreign born workers is being launched by her Department. Warrants for deportation are out against Todor Antonoff, of the Auto Workers Union, Sam. Paul, leader of the New England workers, and many others. ‘They are trying to terrorize the foreign born work~- ers, of whom there any many hundreds of thousands in the basic industries. They are trying to break their spirit in their struggles against hunger and Starvation wages! They are trying-to disorganize and divide the struggles of the American workers, by | splitting off the native from the foreign born. | The Roosevelt government, through its Depart- | ment of Labor agent, Perkins, is lining up the whole | government machinery to -protect the Wall Street | trusts from the demands of the starving workers! | This is an attack on every worker in the United States who wants to strike against hunger wages! Funds must be rushed to the International Labor Defense at 80 East 11th Street, New York City, to help carry on the legal fight to save Borich, Antonoff, and their fellow workers, from the Fascist hangmen! | We cannot let them succeed in their strike break- | ing! In every union, A. F. of L. local the matter of deporting our foreign-born fellow workers must be im- mediately taken up. From every shop and union telegrams must pour in on the Perkins Department of Labor strikebreakers demanding the immediate release of Frank Borich! O’Brien and the Nazis LL signs seem to indicate that the New York Nazis will attempt to hold their mass meeting in the | 165th Regiment Armory next Sunday night. Mayor O’Brien has not banned this meeting. His stalling from day to day after his vote-catch- ing but inconclusive phrases against the Nazis show what powerful forces are at work to keep the rally of Hitler's New York agents from being called off. On the very day when the Tammany mayor of New York was holding his hearing on the Nazi rally, a Tammany court in Brooklyn was carrying out an action which is no different from the anti-working class actions which are the mainspring of Fascism | in Germany and everywhere in the world. - Before this court, facing a sentence of up to three years, was haled Robert Minor, Communist Party | candidate for mayor of New York, for having led a picket line against the wage-cutting, strike-breaking N.R.A. Coming from that court, Robert Minor hurled at Mayor O'Brien the challenge of the workers of New York, against the Tammany terror which supports O'Brien, and against the Nazi terror which Hitler's agents seek to glorify in New York. * * pea! | | | | | | To challenge of Robert Minor must be the challenge which every worker in New York, every hater of Fascism, hurls at the Nazis in New York and against all their supporters, and especially against those who cover their support with sham opposition. If the Nazi meeting is called off, it will be called off only because the workers of New York have made their determination to break it up so clear that the tulers of New York do not dare to let it go on. Even if it is called off, the workers must not imagine that the issue is closed, that the New York Nazis, with the political support they command, are defeated. Wse. Pani te \NLY the organized, mass action of the workers of New York car smash the foul influence of the Nazis in New York. Only the mass action of the workers can drive them out. ‘No matter what decision Tammany Hall may reach with regard to the New York Nazis, the task of the workers is clear: Mass by thousands at 6.30 next Sunday evening In ® gigantic counter-demonstration to the. bloody Nazis of New York! they are now paying their workers In cheap money that | can buy less goods), and they are having their profits | ‘Hitler Hurls War | Challenge As He Begs For Support Nazis Jail Writer Who| Reported Warlike: Display disillusionment of masses of his | porters, Adolf Hitler called on his | followers to prepare for war, in an address which is the opening gun of in which German vote approval of the | “referendum” | voters can only | Nazi policy. | “We want peace,” if other nations | against Germany, he declared, “but prefer sanctions let them come!” fest in 100 years,” he strove to whip up hatred against France and Eng- land, declaring that the Versailles Treaty is responsible for the “danger of Bolshevism,” against which he said the Nazis were the butwark of | the capitalist world. | The.profound international effect of the.““Brown Book of Hitler Terror” w.s acknowledged in his speech, i which he took time to denounce HY | indignantly.

We.began to build our plant May Ist, 1930. At first we worked with- | out adequate machinery and there was no skilled technical. staff to guide us. By May +t, 1932, the main’ building covered an area of 25,000 square meters. 2 In place of the old barracks and portable kitchens there are 18 two story and 3 five story houses with! a large dining room where every worker can get a substantial meal. At our plant there are about 2,800 workers—2,769 workmen with their families already live in new homes, and still more new houses | are being built. Last year 587 work- | ers were given vacations at rest| homes and sanatariums with half rates. School for 400 children The plant has its own broadcast- ing station. A large kindergarten | has also been organized. There is a school accommodating 400 chil- dren. We have many technical circles, a number of evening schools, a factory workshop school, a higher school of Lepse machine workers, | and a section of the machine build- ing institute in Moscow. All these are open to all workers. About 200 suggestions now in operation in our industry have come from these com- rades. The ‘salary increases have reached nearly a hundred thousand rubles. Comrades, here is the secret of our success; we all know that we work for ourselves alone, for the working elass and not for any boss and employer.

Soviet divers worked in five to seven-hour shifts in eleven fathoms of water, instead of the usual two- hour stays under water. In order to raise the ship, a new type of pontoon, invented by Bobritsky, a Soviet engiaeer, was used.

EEING another comrade in the street I hailed him. ‘We shcok hands and he grinned while he told me he was now a courier. He was a young fellow, and in this black coun~ try of terror he was grinning with pleasure that he had been given the opportunity to be a courier. His job was carrying messages back and forth from various Party organizations, or- ganizers, members. The last time I was in Hamburg, T heard of another courier, also a young fellow. He had been captured by the Nazis, and they put him through hor- she|rible tortures to try to get him to give the names of the comrades he knew, With the tendons of one leg so twisted he was crippled for life, he had remained silent. get a single fact out of him. So now this other comrade was a courier. “How are things?” I asked him. “Great!” he said. “It is tremendous, the way the Party is working again.” After the retreats before the Hittcr offensive’ of terror, with conditions constantly becoming worse, the dis- illusionment of the masses of Ger- many is growing as nover bet “Those who hoped for something from Hitler are turning away’ from him by the hundreds of thousands,” he told me. “They know they have nothing to hope from any of the old parties. | The Communist Party is now really the leader of the Gerren working b aaror’ Cee WAS hard, he admitted.

He said he had also seen ‘Torgler carrying two bags, and that on the morning after the fire he remarked to his mother: “Now I know what was in Torgler’s bags.” _ Stupid Answers Make Court Laugh When asked if one bag was smaller than the other, he said: “The other was considerably larger.” 2 Asked again, he said: “One was brown, and the other ‘was consider- ably larger.” Asked a third time, he answered: “Cne was brown and the other was larger, but I prefer not to take oath on this.” The whole gourtreem: shook with laughter. “What party do you belong to?” ; Dimitroff asked. “I am a waiter, I serve everye body,” said the witness.
