SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1934 Defeat Roosevelt’s Wage Cut) For the Railroad Workers! IDENT ROOSEVELT has stepped in to help the rich railroad magnates get another pound of flesh trom the railroad men. Last June, the railroad work- rs were handed a ten per cent pay cut. Since Pebruary 1932, the railroad stock and bondholders made a cool $388,000,000 out of slashes in railroad workers’ pey. Now they want another $70,000,000 for 1934. This was fm addition to over $475,000,000 given to the railroad | parasites by the Roosevelt government througf the | RF. C. | The 1933 pay cut was supposed to be restored on duly 1, 1934. But that was just the trick used to get the pay cut over. Once they got it over, the railroad bosses, working secretly and openly with the heads of the Railroad Brotherhoods are now preparing to make the cut permanent, with an additional five per cent if they can get away with both. Knowing that the railroad men are in no mood to | stand by and see their wages undermined, President |. Rooseyelt steps in to keep the men from any action | against the railroad parasites. Every railroad worker should note the vicious trick- ery used to perpetuate the 10 per cent cut and not let their leaders get away with it. After secret confer- ences it is agreed that the railroad executives issue for a 15 per cent cut. Then the raliroad labor utives prepare for a conference on March 1. hem plenty of time for maneuvering. They mferefice, make « hullabaloo. Then they mpromise on s continuation of the 10 That is what the railroad bosses want, take more if they can get away with it. 19 accident whatever that Roosevelt issued nt on the very same day that the railroad unced the 15 per cent wage cut.

N° RAILROAD worker can read the following state- ment of Roosevelt without his anger rising, with- out asking himself what to do about it. Roosevelt y “Under present conditions the prosecution of a bitter controversy between the railroads and their employes over wages would have s most disturbing infinence and I am farther convinced that condi- tions are not yet sufficiently stable to permit of a wise determination of what the wages should be for the future. “In the circumstances I venture te express the ‘hope that the railroads and their employes may be | able to agree upon an extension of the present agree- Ment’ for at least six months, I am confident that gach an extension would be of advantage to those @irectiy concerned and also to the entire country. | Roosevelt wants the railroad workers to feed their ¢hildren less bread, give them less clothing for another six months, because he is not sure how high prices of | food and clothing will skyrocket. He doesn’t want any disturbance” while the profits of the few thousand railroad stock and bondholders continue to go up. He | does not want « million railroad workers to “interfere” with the N.R.A. program of smashing down the workers’ Mving standard. But the railroad workers, from many indications, feel differently about {t. On the Chicago & North- western, 26,000 are voting for strike, and struggling against the take maneuvers of their ieaders.

Only organization for action now can win any results.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1934 The Unemployed! | precast asi the proposal of Assistant Secretary of War Woodring in Liberty magazine, for militarisa- tion of millions of unemployed in forced labor camps, | comes another glaring fascist attack on the unem- ployed. This time Richard Washburp Child, high | priced fascist propagandist for the war mongering | bankers, writing in the Hearst sheets, calls on the army | to completely take over the regimentation and con- trol of the unemployed. | Woodring, official spokesman for the Roosevelt | bankers’ government, impatient for speedier prepara- | tions for imperialist war, declared that the army had | | trained a big reserve for war in the militarized C.C.C. camps, and declared they should be greatly extended, | under army domination. Childs, former U. 8, Ambassador to Italy, calls for the Roosevelt administration to “enlist the whole force of the army” to “command and control the un- employed.” Childs, declares, “Folly can be no greater than mobilizing the unemployed so that they in their voters or worse still, conscious of their power to make their protests effective in a manner outside of law and order.” ‘This American exponent of Hitlerism, in an open call for fascism in the United States, expresses glar- ingly the trend which has been going on in the official U. 8. government circles, The sixteen million unem- ployed are to be given the consideration of cattle. They are to be not only fired from C. W. A. jobs, and starved, ‘They are to be forcibly conscripted into the army, @c- ‘This fascist’s solution for unemployment—the bank~ ers’ solution—is to make good cannon fodder out of the unemployed and force them to fight the employers’ battles in the coming imperialist war. The unem- ployed are to be deprived of thetr “political force as voters,” as well as their power of mass organization, preparatory to an open fascist dictatorship of the cap- italists in the United States. “Turn the mobilized unemployed (©.W.A. and C.0.6, jobless) over to the training of the army,” says Childs. | “There is no menace greater today than the Red leadership certain to come unless this administration, at a crisis, will furnish to the mobilized unemployed & leadership of discipline and patriotism.” ‘The army, according to Childs, should at once “act ae trainers and educators of organized citizenship.” Roosevelt has openly abandoned all his promises of jobs to the sixteen million unemployed. He turns four million C,.W.A. workers out to starve. The workers or- ganize and demonstrate. They demand jobs or relief. They demand food and housing for their families. They demand security from starvation, Now comes Childs’ proposal for the next step—to militarize the unemployed, to create a fascist army with which to suppress the workers’ organizations; to create cannon fodder for the capitalists’ army in the coming bankers’ world war. THE ROOSEVELT GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO ABANDON THE UNEMPLOYED TO STARVATION. IT PREPARES DEATH IN THE BOSSES’ WAR FOR THE JOBLESS, ‘The working-class must present » powerful, united front of the employed and unemployed against these attempts to militarize the unemployed and divide the ranks of the workers.

Taxi Drivers, Meet Mr. Allen now that the N. R. A. taxicab hearing is on in New York, it is important that the hackmen. get ac- quainted with the gentleman who is in charge of the proceedings. William T. Allen is the gentleman’s name. He is a deputy N. R. A. administrator, and at the opening of the hearing Monday in City Hallhe was Introduced by Sol A. Rosenblatt as the father of the first code, the cotton textile code. Now an examination of this textile code, what it gave the workers (or rather what it took away from them) will give the taxi drivers @ fair idea of what to expect from Mr. Allen. Allen’s much boasted code through its minimum wage clause has actually brought the wages of many skilled workers down to $12 in the South and $13 in the North. But that’s not all. Mr. Allen’s code, like all of the bosses’ codes, is as full of loopholes as a sieve. Indeed, General Johnson, N.R.A. dictator, recently ruled that cotton textile employers may pay outside workers and cleaners up to 25 per cent less than the weekly mini- mum. Another loophole permits the bosses to pay “partially incapacitated” workers 20 per cent less than the minimum scale. Such provisions leave room for a further sharp slashing of wages. Tt is interesting to note how Mr. Allen’s code works out for the Negro workers in the South. John P. Davis, after a tour of the Southern states, produced photo- Negro workers are engaged in skilled occupations at $12 for a 40-hour week, None receive more than the bare code minimum. Such is the code that Mr. Allen has bestowed upon the textile workers, What the taxi drivers will get if they rely on Allen is quite obvious. He has nothing more to offer the drivers than continued hunger and misery. But the hackmen can force the operators to accept | & code of their own, By their organized strength, by building their Taxi Drivers’ Union based on garage committees, the taxi drivers of New York can write their own code through strike action. The hackmen should accept no less than $23 a week for day work and $25 for night duty, 50 weeks work @ year, unemployment insurance, no discrimination against Negro drivers and the right to belong to the Taxi Drivers Union. | at 42nd St. to tie up traffic, fight | the police, try to take possession of Workers Answer French Deputies, in Fear of Workers; Unite for Reaction Communists Alone Hit at Fascist Trend of New Cabinet PARIS, Feb. 16.—The bickering capitalist parties in the Chamber of} Deputies composed their quarrels | and united to approve the reaction- | ary war cabinet of Gaston Doumergte | by a vote of 358 to 131 yesterday. °| They accepted a gag.rule by which | the budget will be passed without! discussion of departmental items, and agreed to an early dismissal which leaves the Doumergue cabinet free to rule by executive order without questioning in parliament. This unity reveals the deep fears which the mass actions, of the French working class against the threat of fascism, have inspired in the ruling class of France. Only the Communist deputies, shouting “Down with fascism,” of- fered real opposition to Doumer- gue. Leon Blum, Socialist spokes: man, accused the premier who came to power on a wave of fascism, of “powerlessness in the face of the fascist menace,” thus giving him Socialist sanction as an anti-fascist, though voting against him, Roosevelt Wants to Subsidize Merchant Marine; War Move Government Money Will Keep Marine Ready For War Use WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—Roose- velt came out today tn favor of open government subsidi etso American merchant marine corporations, At the preesnt time, the marine com- panies get millions from the govern- ment treasury through the instru- mentality of mail contracts, One company, it was disclosed, was. carry- ing about ten pounds. of mail, and was ‘receiving several hundred thou- sand dollars a year in subsidies, ‘The disclosure of enormous cor- Tuption in the handing out of the contracts has led Roosevelt to take some action. Instead of discontinu- ing the subsidies, which only go to swell the profits and dividends of the marine corporations, Roosevelt's open plan for subsidies for American merchant marine is a direct support for war purposes, since the merchant marine {s an essential part of the Naval and transport forces in time of war, i ’ U. 8.

Coast-to-Coast NBC Radio Hook- In Jingo National Defense Week War Talk to Hum Over J. P. Morgan Battery of Speakers Spout Propaganda for Fuge Army, Navy and Air Force | By SEYMOUR WALDMAN (Daily Worker, Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—All of the instruments in the imperialists’ orchestra will blare forth during the war program to be played here to- night on a coast-to-coast radio hock- up which J. P. Morgan’s National Broadcasting Company is contribut- ing for “National Defense Week,” the period ending February 22 set aside by avowed imperialists, jingoes, and professional militarists, openly to Propagandize workers so that they will cooperate in their own and fel- low workers’ slaughter in the impend- ing war for foreign markets. ‘The prepared addresses, which will be read between eleven thirty and midnight after introductions by Ma- jor General Amos A. Fries, head. of the chemical warfare service of the AEF., emphasize the necessity of an air-force “Second to none;” the readi- ness of the National Guard, the “Citi- zen Army,” prepared “to take the field on short notice,” to turn their machine guns on striking workers; the need for an American Navy “that will develop its foreign commerce;” and the corrupted mother-love which requires bayonets and poison gas to keep its sons safe and sound near the maternal breast are the predominant notes of the martial symphony writ- ten ‘by and for the big bosses, the finance capitalists, steel and ammu- nition manufacturers, their uni- formed and legislative lieutenants, and the jingoes. ‘The dominant themes are the de- velopment and “protection” of for- | John Jacob Astor, and 16 other cor- | eign markets and “the best guarantce of peace is an adequate Army and Navy, supplemented by programs for industrial mobilization, which con be readily made available in the event of conflict.” The slaughter soloists are John J. McSwain of South Carolina, chair. man of the powerful House Commit- tee on Militsry Affairs, which is com~- pleting p’4ns for building the world’s greatest army air armada; P. H. Drewry, of Virginia, member of the House Naval Affairs pinch hitting for its absent. chairman, Carl Vinson of Georgia, who, backed by the “unauali- fled endorsement of the President,” recently pushed through the House the $570,000,000°' warship . and war nlane treaty navy bill which gives Roosevelt blanket authority to con- struct hundreds of: warships and 1,184 deadly p’cnes; and what is per- haps the mest ominous voice of all, Mrs. W. E. Ochiltree, National Pres- ident of the American War Moth who quavers the mother-love-soldicr- boy air, an ect indisoenseble to the plans of capitalist general staffs. Among the organizations under whose “auspices” the war “week” is being held are: The Reserve Officers Association, which is managing and) writing the publicity;; the reaction- aty leadership of the American Le-| gion; the Navy League, the patriotic blind for bankers and steel manu- facturers, founded by J. Pierpont Morgan, the Midvale Steel Company, Up norations and industrialists; the United States Naval Reserve Officers Association; and “other patriotic and civic organizations.” C. C. C. Militarization McSwain, in saying “a few words bout our army,” explains that “it a small force just sufficient to. pro: vide for the time needs of our overszas ons, and for the preservati of internal order. It is a small fo j ust sufficient to guard a few s gic points on our fron- tiers against invasion, while the citizen army is being ozganized and trained to preserve our national in- tegrity.” “The traditional policy of - our navy,” declares Representative Drewry, “is that the United States should create and operate a navy second to none, and that it should be maintained in sufficient strength to support the national policies and »| commerce and to guar] the continen- tal and overseas possessions of the United States.” “Put in other words,” Drewry points out, “it simply means that the United States must havea navy will at all times be able to pro the lives and property of its citizens, that will be able to support Ameri- can interests, and that will develop its foreign commeree,” To “develop its foreign commerce” is the reason for adding 1,184 war planes, cavable of flying to and from the Far East, to the 1,000 the,navy now operates. The “Daily News” Spits Calls foc “Winleuee Against Reds” in Editorial By MILTON HOWARD LREADY the press of Amer- ican capitalism ‘shows its blood ties to the Fascist mur- derers of Austria. The capital- ist papers already show their itch to follow in the footsteps of their Austrian class kin, cee yest listen to the New York Daily News today—the gutter sheet that peddles the vilest jingoism, the-most cunning capitalist wage slave ideology, all spiced up with the lowest kind of cheap sexy sauce—listen to ths sheet spew at 10,000 brave workers who faced the LaGuardia police clubs and the blue-coated thugs on horseback, commanded by the militarist police chief, O’Ryan, who are so brave that they are not afraid to trample’ de- fenceless workers, men &nd women, young and old. Trying to hide its fear at that which is most menacing to its own vile existence—that is, the unbreakable, growing “bond of: Anter- national revolutionary, workingclass solidarity—the Daily News today, in an editorial headed, in the early edi- tions, ‘Use Violence on Reds,” snarls: “We think the Red and Pink riots in the streets of New York are getting pretty tiresome. Poor old Austria has an attempted revo- lution; and 4,090 nuts congregate the whole area. When the police try to stop the disorder, they squawk abort ‘LaGuardia’s Fas- cists.’ We have the universal bal- lot. These people are bent on wrecking our system of things... they think they can get by with an above-average amount of business, We would advise them te at Anti- Fascist Workers look 2 little more closely into La- Guardia’s war record.” Here in these words, scribbled by some professional word-monger, some hireling of the capitalist money-bags, speaks the budding monster of Amer- ican Fascism. “Riot and violence,” says the Daily News. That is the old song of the capitalist ruling class. Who is it who 4s responsible for the vio'ence in these demonstrations? Who is it who carries the clubs, the blackjacks, the revolvers? Who is it who charges into peacefully demonstrating work- ers, who, presumably, have the demo- cratic right to assemble in protest against outrage? ‘ Every worker knows the answer to these questions. It was the police of General O’Ryan, of the fingoist La Guardia. It is invariab!y the ruling class capitalist volice who are responsible for the “riot and vio- lence.” As a matter of fact, the capitalist: police are nearly always specifically. instructed to start “riot and violence” against working class demonstrations. _ Who does not remember in New York how Grover Whalen, brat re- cently the chief of the local N. R. A., boasted how he had planted agents provocateurs in the ranks of worker's’ demonstrations pre- elsely in order to siart that “riot and violence” with which the capi- talist press always justifies police brutality and violence against the working class, Ree Se the’ capitalist press, whenever such a sheet as the Daily News speaks of “order” ete. what they have in mind is the stat o? affairs where the ruling c:! domination of the bosses is undis turbed by any resistatice from the workers—what they desire is the calm of unresisted wage slavery. Any. expression of resitsance, or any ex- pression of solidarity with our class brothers in other countries becomes, in the eyes of the rulers and their kept press, “riot and violence.” The capitalist press strives to hide the real character of work- es’ anti-fascist demonstrations by shedding tears over “obstruction to traffic,” etc. etc. But it is a singu- Jar fact, that speaks eloauctn!y of the Wall Street character of the concealed capitalist dictatorship in this country, that when it is a question of tying the entire ta-iff of Fifth Avenue for 10 houvs by a jingo N. R. A. parade calculated to butldeze the worke-:s ct New York against fighting the N. R. Av slave codes, then the city gove7n- ment, the canitalist press and tre police forget all about “traffic ch- struction,” and the werkers are bullied into parading down the sacred Fifth Avenue. Tt is such contrasts as this—the N. R. A. parade protected by the police, and the anti-fasc’ stration s'arged by the reveals the foundation of na! tality and violence unon which all canvitelist demecracy—Amevican Wall Street democracy inclu‘ied, rests. i Boat oe .Why did the 10.909 workers dem- onstrate yestirdey?
