The NRA Jacks Prices Up 'VEN the Roosevelt officialdom of the N.R.A. finds it difficult to conceal the fact that the N.R.A. codes haye acted directly in the interests of Wall Street monopoly capital through jacking prices up- ward. The latest report of A. D. Whiteside, N.R.A. Division Administrator, compiled from data submitted by the Consumers Research Association and the Consumers Advisory Board, as well as the thousands of complaints that have come from small, non-monopoly producers, finally is forced to concede that the N.R.A, has forced retail prices of everyday necessities to “unwarranted heights.” The evidence of the report shows that in many industries, including oil, steel, textiles, and others, the so-called “period of waiting” provided in the codes for the arrangement of the price agreements in these industries have permitted the largest Wall Street monopolies. to.form a price-fixing agreement estab- lishing monopoly prices at sharply higher levels. The Consumers Advisory Board of the N.R.A. has produced figures indicating that the codes have advanced the price of such every day articles aw mens’ work shirts, cheap hose, overalls, from 67 to 113 per cent in the last few months. The lowest grade of men’s overalls, for example, were $5 a dozen in March when Roosevelt took office. Today, the N.R.A. has jacked them up to $9 a dozen. Such enormous rises in the prices of the things that both the farmers and workers must buy are typical of what the N.R.A. has done to the worker's pay envelope. And the Roosevelt argument that these extortion- ate price rises are “justified” on the ground that the workers are getting higher wages under the codes is exploded by the officially admitted facts that real wages of the American workers are now at least 10 per cent lower than last March, before the Roosévelt NRA. Under the impact of the Roosevelt N.R.A. codes, as well as the inflationary depreciation of the dollar, wholesale prices of commodities are now at the highest level since May 1931, and are still rising. * ° * ee rely, price ‘fixing bas, resulted in raising profits in certain large monopoly incfistries as high as 350 per cent above last year. The present investigations into the monopoly price fixing are directed to discovering only what the gov- ernment terms “excessive rise in rates.” That the N.R.A. will continue to raise prices is admitted. The Roosevelt government and the N.R.A. are avowedly cominitted to such a policy of price raising. In these rising prices of daily necessities, every worker can see what.the Roosevelt N.R.A.-New Deal means in practice to him and his family—more pinch- ing to make ends meet, more deprivation due to rising prices. When the workers organize in strike to fight against this new N.R.A. robbery, the Roosevelt New Deal has the most cunning strikebreaking traps of the N.R.A. arbitration boards ready. And if the workers are not taken in by this trickery, then the Roosevelt New Deal has the most brutal military strikebreaking troops ready, as in Gallup, New Mexico, and Ambridge, Penn- sylvania. The N.R.A. rising prices are robbing the masses to provide profits for the Wall Street monopolies, The working class must answer this Roosevelt N.R.A. plun- dering by a determined organized fight for higher Wages to meet the rising prices, In every factory, shop, trade union and neighbor- hood, the cry must be raised “Higher wages to meet the rising cost of living of the N.R.A.” DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1934 Into Every A.F.L. Local ye GREEN and the A. F. of L. Executive Council had a hard time concealing their dis- from the National Convention Ag: st Unemployment, recently concluded in Washington, put the demand | for the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill to them straight from the shoulder. The delegation was led by two of the best fighters for the rank and file, Mosher and Weinstock. This interview should be the beginning of an in- tensified drive in every A. F. of L. local for the Work- ers Unemployment Insurance Bill. Especially is this important in view of what the A. F. of L. executive Council revealed. They admitted the vast majority of the A. F. of L. members, harrassed by unemployment, by high dues and racketeering, want unemployment insurance. “studying” the matter. What they are studying is how to foist on the workers the fake bill that Wagner is proposing with the help of Roosevelt to defeat real unemployment insurance. Every local of the A. F. of L. should put on the order of the day the passage of a resolution to be sent to the A. F. of L. officials in Washington and to Congress demanding the passage of the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill now before Congress and Known as H. R. B, 7598. Right in the midst of these high-salaried gentle- | men who have more than one bond with the racketeers | in the A. F. of L, in every city, the delegation flung the charge of gross racketeering and grafting. No wonder Mr. Green was riled when he was asked how much he and his fellow strikebreakers got of the millions the coal, stevl and auto trusts spent to break strikes. HIS brave onslaught should be taken up in every local in a rank and file fight against the racketeers, resulting in the ding of stronger rank and file op- positions here these already exist, and in establish- ing them where they do not exist. Only in this way will the racketeers be wiped out and union democracy and rights won for the members. Another demand raised by the delegation which made beads of sweat stand out on Green’s forehead was that the A. F. of L. officialdom immediately with- draw from the National Labor Board. Under the guise of representing “labor,” these gentlemen have committed the most criminal, scab deeds against the workers through the use of the N.R.A. They have helped foster company unions, They smashed the steel and coal strike. They betrayed the Weirton, Budd, Philadelphia Taxi and Ford workers. Every local should take up this struggle and de- mand they get off the National Labor Board—the most vicious strikebreaking instrument being perfected by the Roosevelt regime with the help of Mr. Green and Co, In the past Mr. Green found it more convenient not to speak to rank and file delegations. But he knows now the fight is growing sharper in the locals and makes the pass of appearing willing to listen. He must be made to listen, That can be done by ac- tion in the local unions. e * . HE action of the delegation, and the “reception” of the A. F. of L. executive council, show that there are the greatest possibilities now of speeding the work of rank and fille opposition groups in every A. F. of L, local. It-ds the duty of every militant worker, especially of every Communist in.an A. F. of L. local, to be the dynamic organizer of such an opposition, a real leader in the fight for the rights of the rank and file, against | the racketeering officials, and for all the demands and | interests of the union members. Mobilize for the fight to force through real un- employment insurance by demanding the passage of H. R. B. 7598, ‘Wipe out the racketeering through rank and file organization. Demand the withdrawal of the A. F. of L. officials from the strikebreaking National Labor Board where they act as a “labor” front. Organize the struggle against the N.R.A., to win higher wages, better conditions and real union recog~ nition. The War Plans Are Ready HE coming barrage of jingoist poison that the Roose- vel government plans to let loose next week, be- ginning February 12, is given a new startling meaning by a paragraph from a syndicated Washington cor- respondent, Paul Mallon, who writes as follows: “& Democratic leader wanted to bet 10 to 1 that there will be war between Japan and Russia before May 1... . The splendid expansion of commercial aviation gives us more reserve ships and fliers than any country can match... “The 300,000 C.C.C. boys have been divided inte squads and companies under Army officers. They have been taken through the preliminary stages of organization so that a month of military tactics would make soldiers out of them. . . + “Each important factory in the United States has secret war plans in its safe ready to convert its products to war uses in a moment. .. .” In these words, which are set to reach millions of readers, the sound of unbridled war jingoism and reaction now being set into motion by the Roosevelt Wall Street government are unmistakably heard. ‘They reveal what is typically behind all the Roose- velt “social” projects like the C.C.C. camps for the jobless youth—war preparations! They reveal that behind a sanctimonious mask of pacifism and “national defense,” the Roosevelt gov- ernment is swiftly launching the American masses into another world imperialist slaughter which will make the last one look tame in comparison. Roosevelt cannot feed the people. He, therefore, prepares to send them to slaughter in defense of Wall Street profits. The 13th Plenum Resolution of the 13th Plenum of the Executive Committee of the Communist Inter- national in its recently published resolution stated: “The international situation bears all the features of the eve of a new world war. . .. The bourgeoisie wants to postpone the doom of capitalism by a criminal imperialist war and a counter-revolutionary campaign against the land of victorious Socialism. In fighting against war, the Communists must pre- pare even now for the transformation of the im- perialist war into civil war, concentrating their forces in each country at the vital parts of the war machine.” In this connection it is necessary to remember that Lenin always pointed out that the revolutionary struggle against war after it has broken out depends on how well the Party has fought against it before it broke out. Tt is in this spirit that the entire Party, every unit, section and district, without waiting for formal directives, must arrange for meetings and demonstra- tions to counter-act the Roosevelt jingo war poison in the coming week, “National Defense” Week, Feb. 12. .

(By Radio). — Following more than 10 days of dis- cussion by delegates from every cor- ner of the Soviet Union, the 17th Party ‘Congress of the All-Union Communist (Bolshevik) Party of the U. S. S. R. today unanimously and with the greatest enthusia@m ratified the program and plans for the Sec- ond Five Year Plan. The Congress unanimously elected a Commission of 29 to continue the discussions in detail of the new plans for the immense development of. the national economy toward Socialism, including Stalin, Molotov, Voroshilov, ' Ordjonikidze, Kalinin, Kosseor, An- drayev, Yakovlev, Shvernik, and re- presentatives of a number of regional organizations, To Honor Delegates ‘Yenikidze announces that February 9 has been set aside as a day for the honouring of the delegates by a pa- rade through the Red Square to the Party Congress Ratifies Second Five “It is because the Communist Party led us out of darkness and poverty to the path of a prosperous, cultured life clothing us, who be- fore the Revolution knew only rags ‘Noyoselov con- “Yesterday our herdsmen in the uncollectivised past were the poor- est. Now they are building not only modern, well-built houses but even stables with electric lights.” Position of Women Particularly remarkable, Novoselov pointed out, was the change in the life of the village regarding the posi- tion of women, with the collectives having fully learned and applied Stalin’s directives to boldly promote women to leading positions in the collectives. This last statement of the speaker receives striking confirmation by a glance at the composition of the del- egation from the villages, among whom can be seen many women col- lective farmers, wearing red kerchiefs on their heads. The Congress is stirred, as in ar- dent and fervent words, he tells of the downtrodden peasant women of his district, one of whom is now presi- dent of the neighboring collective proudly wearing the precious Order of Lenin. He concludes with the cry. “Long live the World Communist Party! Long live Stalin, great leader of the world proletariat!” Many delegations of workers and collective farmers from all parts of the country mount the stand, pledg- ing their absolute wholehearted sup- port and their complete confidence in the Communist Party, its Congress and its leader, Stalin. Foreign Debts The next speaker, Rosenholiz, de- votes his speech to the achievements of the Party in the field of foreign, trade. He speaks of the decreasing currency ‘debtedness of the Soviet Union to . witalist countries. “We are the only country in the Kamenev: “My Moscow Garrison. Further discussions from delegates on the advancing Socialist construc- tion in all parts of the Soviet Union, and concluding remarks on his report by Premier Molotov, marked the twelfth day of the 17th Party Con- gress of the All - Union Communist (Bolshevik) Party of the U. S. 8, R. Following speeches by representa- tives from Tula Metal Works, describ- ing the immense advances in the pro- duction of the plant, and in the liv-} ing standards of the workers, Kovo- selov, heading the delegation from the collective farm called the “New Life” in the Novoderensky region of the Moscow district, mounted the speak- ers stand. New Life In an exceptionally fine, clear speech, he told the Congress of the achievements of the farmers in the collective comparing their life today with the life before hte Revoluties. “Before the Revolution, and even until receat years. cur village was one of the poorest of the district. Todoy, it is not in vain that we call ourselves the New Life village. We truly merit the name because we are creating a new life.

I shall strive to win it back through daily practical work which will show the complete rerun- ciation of my terrible errors.” . Previously in the discussion, Zino- viev had also denounced his Trotsky- ist deviations as crimes against the Party and the world proletarian revo- lution, hailing Stalin as the preserver of the true Leninist road, and pledg- ing himself to make up for his mis- takes by unswerving devotion to the immediate tasks of Socialist Con- struction as laid down by the Party Conaress. Zelensky, one of the delegates, rises to speak, and referring to Kamenev’s speech, declares that the future will show how sincerely both he and Zino- viev have repented of their mistakes. “The Party knows,” he said, “thet Zinoviev and Kamenev, more than once repented of their mistakes, but scon again raised the banner of struggle against the Party.

These vic- tories are due solely to the firmly guarded monopoly of the Govern- ment in foreign trade—one of the foundations of the proletarian dic- tatorship.” The next speaker, Budenny, is greated with a tremendous ovation, as ‘one of the best loved of the country’s military leaders. He devotes his speech to the urgent problem of pro- viding the country with an adequate supply of live stock, He urges that the Party take the whole matter of cattlebreeding energetically in hand, following the directives of Stalin. Kaganovitch Speaks The final speaker of the twelfth day, Kaganovitch, member of the Party Polburo and Secretary of the Party organization in the Moscow dis- strict, is hailed with an ovation that lasts for many minutes, bursting forth with renewed vigor every time Kaga- novitch tried to begin his speech. When the stormy applause finally subsided, Kaganovitch, began, devot- ing his speech to the new problems of organization of the Party struc- ture. : “The elaboration of organiza- tional questions sharpens our weap- ons for the victorious fulfillment of the historic tasks raised by Ccrarade Stalin’s report.” He tells of the struggle for the or- ganization of engine ring groups dur- ing the years of the First Five Year Plan for based on working class cadres. He then presents the wealth of factual material to show the shori- comings of the Perty structure for ve further transformation of the Party into an operative instrument of the proletarian dictatorship. He proceeds with a masterly discussion of the many inner Party questions regarding the necessary changes in the Party structure, concluding - by commenting on the remarkable model eiven to the Party by the Central Committee and its leader, Stalin, in concrete, flexible, really effective leadership, strengtheining its leader- ship by daily verification of the ful- fillment of every task.

S. and South America NEW YORK —That widespread im- |) portation of Nazi propaganda into this country is in progress while the committee to investigate Nazi activi- ties in the U. S., formed some time ago and headed by Congressman Dickstein as a result of pressure ex- erted by exposes which appeared in the Daily Worker, remains inactive, a again brought to the fore yester= lay. “ This was revealed when 300 pounds of Nazi books and pamphlets wrapped in small packages addressed to four people in New York, Chicago, De- troit and Cincinnati, were discovered by customs officials Tuesday in the cook’s cabin of the German freighter “Este.” It was the largest single batch ever discovered here, although @ sys- tematic importation of Nazi literature has been going on for some time, as exposed by the aes Worker several months ago. The chief cook, ‘wartin Pallor, in whose cabin the material was found, was questioned briefly by federal cus~ toms officers, and then set free, The captain of the ship, S. Kampen, is known to have conferred with the Nazi consulate here, thereby effecting Pallor's release. The four men to whom most of the parcels were addressed were: Fritz Gissibl, 2523 Collom Ave., Chicago; Hans G. Strauss, 2921 Baldwin St, Detroit; Engelbert Roll, 152 E. 83d St., New York City, and Alfred Knodler, 2361 Rohr St., Cincinnati. The booklets, printed in German, English and Spannish, contained speeches by Hitler, Hindenburg and other Nazi chiefs, as well as articles attempting to gloss over the fascist atrocities in Germany since Hitler's accession to power. One of the pame phlets, entitled “Germany Fights for Western Civilization,” lightly dis- missed the wholesale and gruesome torture of Jews and revolutionary workers, claiming that “the Jews in Germany will still be a privileged mi. nor nationality in the national state.” One of the pamphlets was written by Viscount Rothermere, British fas- cist.
