Economy for the Bankers | But LaGuardia’s aim is deeper than |just the attempt to effect a more conomical city government. It is hat he is attempting to cut | down on city costs. But the teachers, |the firemen and policemen—all city | workers whose wages have been or | will be cut by the new administra- tion—are, together with the masses of New York’s workers, bearing the sole burden of LaGuardia’s economies. The Chase National and National City banks, to which $126,000,000 per year will be paid for the next four years under the terms of the Unter- myer agreement, are the only ones who will gain if the bill is passed. Moreover, whether the bill is finally passed or not, the entire Fusion ad- ministration is admittedly dedicated to the safeguarding of the Wall Street bartkers loans. Fear Loss of Jobs Power Workers should not be fooled into | thinking that the Democratic legis- lators have their interests in mind when they oppose the Economy Bill. “The objections (of the Democrats) to the bill,” says yesterday’s New | York Timea, “centered mostly in the proposed grant of power to the Board of Estimate to abolish jobs and cut salaries in county offices.” The word “mostly” in the above- quoted sentence could have been left out had the Times been interested in accuracy. Workers are urged to fight the La~ Guardia Economy Bill, which is solely a measure to increase the Wall Street bankers’ strangle-hold over the masses of New York—the same bank- ers who put LaGuardia into office. They should fight it determinedly, making clear that their opposition has nothing in common with the Tam- many attempt to hold on to the graft which Fusion is attempting to deflect into its own pockets. Tammany and Fusion, workers | should remember, are under their surface differences of technique in fooling and victimizing the masses, birds of the same feather. Lundeen retorted: “When I say I'm going to fight for something I mean I'm going to fight for something. I carry the bill in my pocket all the time waiting for an opportunity to get unanimous consent to get it printed in the records.” Harry L.

Comrade Licht- man failed to point out that in Ger- many and Austria, too, the Socialist | control of the government, but it was precisely their policies which paved the way to fascism. “In the face of rising fascism every- | where, I agree with you, we should not be at each othérs throats. We should form a united front of strug- gle against fascism,” said Lichtman, The call for a united front of all workers was enthusiastically cheered at every mention, Following the-speech by the Social- ist Party representative, Comrade Grecht declared that every honest | worker will be glad to accept the | united front offer, and that the Com- munist Party Section would make some concrete proposals to the So- cialist Party of Newark for united trian workers, against fascism, and | workers. Forging United Front Actions Previously representatives of the Communist Party approached the Essex County Committee of the So- cialist Party proposing a united front meeting to protest the slaughter of the Austrian workers by the fascists, jand to rally a united front of ail | workers against fascism. ‘The ap- peal was rejected, though several voices were ralsed for the united | front. | At the meeting on Sunday at Kruger Hall, called by the Commu- nist Party, representatives from A. F. of L. unions, Conference For Pro-| gressive Labor Action, non-Party| workers, and Socialist workers were present. Under the strong pressure of the workers, and the exposure of the deeds of the Otto Bauers. Adlers and Deutches, the Socialist workers persuaded Lichtman to ask for the floor. When he spoke about MacDonald as having “gotten control of the government for labor,” he failed to point out that MacDonald was acting for British imperialism, helping to arm British imperialism for war and approving the sending of troops to India and China against the workers and peasants. MacDonald was used as a “labor” | ont for the most reactionary deeds | of the British imperialist govern- ment. Comrade Lichtman sajyd he thought the “democratic” control of the government was only “transi- tional,” but ultimately the workers | would have to establish the prole- tarian dictatorship in order to | achieve socialisin. ‘What he failed to point out is that the coalition of the Socialist leaders | with the capitalist government takes place at a moment when the workers are increasing their struggles against capitalism, and is done to beat back the revolutionary struggles and strengthen the hand of reaction as was done by MacDonald in England, the Socialist leaders in Germany, and by the Social-Democratic leaders in Austria. Nevertheless, the genuine expres- sion of the need for a united front on the issue of fascism and the growing fascist attack against the American workers, was the keynote of the meeting among Socialist, Communist, A. F. of L., and non- Party workers. | { OFFICE WORKERS TO PICKET All members of the Office Workers Union are urged to attend mass picketing at the Biechman &tore, 502 Broadway, every day this week at noon. | through the roof.

East Side Fire Snuffs Out Lives of 8 Workers and Kids Tenement Blaze Occurs in Slum Area Typical of Every City in Capitalist World By EDWIN ROLFE Another grim and horrible prole- arian tragedy occurred in New York City in the small, dark hours of Saturday morning when flames, rag- ing through an old and decrepit tin- derbox of a tenement house at 40 W. Seventh St., in the heart of the east side working-class slum district, claimed eight lives. The fire started in the basement, but so flimsy was the construction of the old tenement building—typical of hundreds of other tenements in the same area—that within a short time the flames had burned through the entire inner structure, piercing the roof. When the fire engines ar- | rived in answer to a three-alarm summons, the flames were shooting out of the windows, rising fifteen feet | above the roof. H One entire family, and three mem- bers of another, unable to escape the consuming flames, were burned to death. The dead were Samuel Spell- man, 44; his wife, Irene Spellman, 39, and their’ three’ ‘children, Irving. 13; Lillian, 10, and Stanley, 8, and Mrs. Giovanna Terenella, 52; Vincent Terenella, 12, and Anna Terenella, 11. The Spellman family, aroused ear- lier than any of the other inhabitants of the building by the barking of their dog, attempted - to escape t Their bodies, un- recognizably charred, were found in the hallway of the ‘third floor, They had been unable-to escape the flames which blazed through the rotten ma- teriele of which the tenement was uit. Mrs. Terenella, aroused La Guardia Tells Hotel Strikers to Stop Picketing Food Union Warns to Beware of Sellout in City Hall NEW YORK.—Stop your picketin; 5 said LaGuardia, and I'l Bek the strike, Such was the advice given to the striking hotel workers. _ The Amalgamated officials, includ- ing J. B. Field, agreed to this and will appear before the Mayor today to receive his final word. Picketing, however, continued at several of the struck hotels. The Food Workers Industrial Union, fighting with might and main against the acceptance of such an agreement, branded LaGuardia’s plan as the plan of a strikebreaker. The F.W.I.U. de- mands that a committee of striking workers be presented at the hearing today and if the agreement is not satisfactory to continue the strike to see that all workers will be returned to their jobs safe against the black- list plans of the bosses, LaGuardia Will Not Help The strikers cannot expect to gain anything by following LaGuardia’s advice. 'The Daily Worker publishes today evidence to prove that LaGuar- dia’s police knew about the gangster control of the hotels and will pub- lish proof tomorrow that LaGuardia’s secretary was advised of the fact that thugs were used in the big hotels to break the strike. Lt Guardia has done nothing about this gangsterism in the hotels and he therefore cannot be expected to do anything to better the conditions of the hotel workers.

This fire, while more spectacular than others which do not find their way into the front pages of the capi- talist press, is but one of hundreds which occur with tragic frequency in the working-class sections of Amer- ica’s big cities. Such and similar tragedies—as a glance through the files of any newspaper will verify— are common in the slum areas thru- out the world. That this was noi an isolated hap- pening and that such tragedics daily threaten the lives of workers throughout the city was glaringly re- vealed on Saturday afernoon when Langdon W. Post LaGuardia’s Tene- ment House Commissioner, speaking at the Hotel Pennsylvania at the }eighth annual luncheon of the United Neighborhood Houses, said: “It is a tragic coincidence, but I think perhaps a providential symbol, that on the day of this luncheon there should have been one of the worst and most tragic tenement house fires in recent years, I thought of the fact that 75 per cent of the dwellings of Manhattan Island were built just as that building was built.” “The only chance they (the workingelass victims) had to get out,” Post admitted, “was to go to the front of the building and wait for firemen to come with ladders. In those houses, built as the one which burned down this morning, there is practically nothing we can do to pre- vent a recurrence unless we do something instant, courageous and complete.” Mr, Post did not mention what this ‘instant, courageous and complete” action was to be, Capitalism cares nothing about its workers’ lives. It dooms them to squalid, filthy, crowded and disease- ridden areas, It keeps them suffo- cating in summer, freezing in win- ter. Adequate housing, surely, is not the concern of a government which does everything in its power to steal even the miserable and paltry scrap of food it throws to its working-class. Only one country in the world— the U.S.S.R., where the workers are triumphantly building Socialism — gives its main attention to the safety and health and well-being of work- ers and their wives and children. One need only to read Stalin’s mas- terly speech, debivered late last month before the Seventeenth Party Con- gress in Moscow, to realize this. “The face of our large cities and industrial centers has changed,” Stalin reported to the Congress. “An inevitable attribute of large cities in bourgeois countries are slums, so-called workers’ districts in the outskirts of cities represent- ing heaps of dark, damp, half- quarters, mostly cellars, where usually poor people live, wal- lowing in mud and cursing their fate. The revolution in the U. S. S. R. brought about the disappear- ance of these slums in our coun- try. They have been replaced by newly-built, good and light workers’ districts having a better appear- ance than the centers of the cities.” ee 4 Let workers who know intimately che annual loss of proletarian lives in slum sections—whether from fire or starvation or tube ead this account of workers’ lives in the Soviet Union, and let them, having read this, turn back to the struggle, 7 their own cities, against the bank- controlled administration—LaGuar- dia in New York, Kelly in Chicago, etc.—to demand their rights as work- ers in their day-to-day battles, and to fight for a proletarian dictatorship, which alone can win these rights, in the United States.

This gang, the members of which have participated in every known crime, were given the dirty job of keeping the restaurant open during the strike. La Guardia Responsible All of these gangsters were put to work in the hotels under the eyes of the N.R.A. officials and La Guardia's police. Direct responsibility for plac- ing these sluggers and criminals in the hotels rests squarely on the shoulders of the La Guardia admin- istration, which has gained consider- able publicity recently through the fake clean-up campaign on Welfare Island, Proof that the police are linked up closely with the gangster control of the hotels was brought to light Sat- urday, Feb. 10, when Central Office detectives shook down some of the gangsters in the Hotel Pennsylvania, finding several men with police rec- ords carrying guns. The detectives were said to have told Mr, Hen- nesy, the manager, about their dis- covery and received the folowing answer: “Well, what do you expect us to hire, a let of cream puffs?” The detectives, it was stated, did nothing to remove the gunmen from the hotel. The names of the Central Office detectives who made the search are Lieutenant Pike, Detectives Valen- tine, Sullivan and Cuneen, Porter Framed Up While the detectives were search- ing the hotel, a man named Golden now out on bail on a homicide charge in Jersey City, was “pro- tecting” the dear patrons. Golden killed an iron worker who dared to interfere with scabs at the Amer- ican Bridge Company job.

Governors, mayors, congress- men, senators, millionaires, evening- gowned women rode their ‘special trains in to gather close around the mauling showmen. In 1928 the two brought in a bigger gate. Tex Rickard then said, “Big busi- ness! I'll say its big business. And growing bigger all the time.” But he didn’t realize then that the big business ef the ring followed hand in hand with the growth of larger scale industry and that when in- dustry and farms began to take left and right hooks and jabs it began tottering like the boxer who gathers some good stiff whacks.
