Payroll Shows. Need Of Jobless Insurance Drive for Endorsement, Of Workers’ Bill By | A.F.L. Stressed By HOWARD BOLDT NEW YORK.—New wage cuts, | new slumps in production throwing hundreds of thousand out of the} factories, raise more sharply the| chief immediate need of the work- | ing population—the enactment of | the Workers Unemployment and} Social Insurance Bill. | As the attacks of the Roosevelt | “New Deal” of hunger for the work- | ers increase, strikes and struggles | sweep the country. Each of these | struggles must embody the demand | for the enactment of the Workers’ | Bill, leading to strike and stoppages | for unemployment insurance. | As new thousands are thrown out of work, the day-to-day struggle for adequate relief must unite the em- ployed workers in the unions and | the unemployed workers in the neighborhoods. Employment Drops; Wages Cut Drastic drops in factory employ- ment and hours worked, accom- panied by wage slashes greatly in excess of employment declines, are shown in June reports throughout the country. Government surveys by the Na- tional Industrial Conference Board show that manufacturing activity for the month of June declined 2.4 per cent, employment decreased 2.1) per cent, and payrolls were cut 2.6/ per cent. The Bureau of Labor Sta-| tistics states that factory employ- | ment for the month of April totaled | 10,950,000. Basing figures on this incomplete total, a decline in fac- tory employment of 2.1 would show that at least 229,000 workers were added to the army of unemployed | in the month of June alone. | Cotton textile industries showed | a decilne of 14 per cent in hours worked in the Northern mills; hours worked in the automobile industry slumped 13 per cent. Steel and iron showed a decline of only one-half of one per cent as production was jacked up in preparation for strike struggles, and then dropped in July to within four points of the record lows of two years afo. In the first week of July, the steel mills in East Chicago and Gary, Ind. went on the stagger system. Workers in the Republic Steel Mills in Buffalo were told that the management did not know whn the plants would re- open. ‘Since the steel industry is the barometer of future factory ac- tivity, a new wave of unemployment will have swept the country for t th of July. } ew York State, which with its diversified industry is a reliable index for future trends for the en- , tire country, factory employment | dropped 1.2 per cent and wages || were cut 18 per cent in the one month perod from May 15 to June 15, according to a preliminary sur- vey made by the State Department of Labor. | Factory employment in Massa- chusetts slumped 5.8 per cent and average weekly payrolls were sliced 7.6 per cent in 1,552 factories and mills surveyed by the Labor De- partment, while living costs rose 9 per cent. | Despite widespread unemploy- ment among members of the A. F. of L. unions, 20 per cent of the dues paying members of which are employed, no steps are taken by the leaders of the A. F. of L. unions to win unemployment relief. Yet the membership shows a willingness to struggle for relief and unemploy- ment insurance. In Glen Ridge, Il, an entire local of the United Mine Workers of America voted to affiliate with the Unemployment Councils after the Council program was explained. In Clarksburg, Va., members of the Central Trades Council voted to join in joint ac- tion with the Unemployment Coun- cils and other unemployed groups in the fight for the continuance of the C. W. A. jobs. | The broadening of the mass rc movement for unemployment insur- ance should proceed upon the basis of winning the members of the A. F. of L. trade union locals for struggle in the neighborhoods and at the relief bureaus, and mass. pressure on the local, state and na- tional governments for increased relief, against all forms of forced labor, and for a program of public! works for the building of low-cost workers’ homes, and nurseries, play grounds, and hospitals in working- jmounced his willingness to debate | DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1934 Page Three Decline Outstrips Fall in Factory Jobs for July ON Fete to Aid Herndon And Scottsboro Boys Is Set for Saturday NEW YORK.—As part of the campaign to raise funds for the Scottsboro-Herndon defense and broaden the mass fight for the || freedom of the ten Negro youths, a large festival will be held by |} James “Fats” Waller and Buddy |} Allen, Saturday night, at Ren- || aissance Casino, Seventh Ave. || and 138th St. | The sponsors of the affair have ararnged to give 70 per cent of the net proceeds to the Scotts- boro-Herndon fund of the Inter- || national Labor Defense, and to |) have a 15-minute appeal for | additional funds.

Chauvinists Pack Parley on Jimerowism | PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 31. — Undaunted by a partial setback in the fight against Jim-Crowism in the South Side Brasher settlement, | the League of Struggle for Negro Rights and the Young Communist | League will hold open air meetings dealing with this issue every Wed- | nesday night, directly across the} street from the settlement house, at | 30th and Sarah Streets. | The setback occurred Thursday | night at the conference on segre- gation of Negroes by the settle- ment, when Director Scalack packed the meeting with chauvinistic ele- ments to vote down the Y. C. L. proposal made by Jim Egan for a debate on the Negro question, by a vote of 46 to 37. Scalack spoke first, actually agi- tating for the continuance of jim- crowism in his role as “neutral” chairman of the meeting. When Dave Doran, Y. C. L. leader, blasted the arguments of Scalack and exposed jim-crowism as a de- vice of the ruling class to split the workers and weaken their struggles for better conditions, Scalack again took the floor to counteract Doran’s talk, Frankfeld, Careathers, Johnstone and Egan then took the floor in a smashing attack on jim-crowism. Of the 83 delegates present, only 15 were Negroes. All 15 voted against jim-crowism, tegether with the militant young white workers. Weinstone Will Debate Republican Leader DETROIT, July 31—Irked by the | derisive laughter of workers in the audience attending a symposium on election issues at the Belle Isle Shell, O. E. Heggblom, member of the Michigan State Committee of the Republican Party, defiantly an- any Conimunist at any time. Wil- liam Weinstone, district organizer of the Communist Party, who ap- peared at the symposium to present the position of his Party, accepted the challenge at once. The debate will take place on Saturday, August 18, at 8 p.m. in the Belle Isle Shell. class neighborhoods, at whcih work- ers will be employed at trade union wages. Every local of the A. F. of L. must be approached for endorse- ment of the Workers’ Bll. Every union member must have a full understanding of the Workers’ Bill. Given an understanding of the Bill convinced not only of the need but of the possibility of forcing the gov- ernment to enact it, strikes and stoppages of work can be developed around the demand for the enact- ment of the Workers Unemploy- ment Insurance Bill by the next session of Congress and rank and file demand for its endorsement by | the coming National Convention of the American Federation of Labor. $0.5.

Hundreds of workers and farm- ers of the surrounding territory have massed to the defense of the | students. In spite of the danger | from attack, courses are being con- | tinued as before, with students and workers ready to defend them-| selves at any moment. | Saturday’s attack was ihe fourth in the last two weeks. Hundreds | of hoodlums were mobilized from several New York and Pennsylvania towns.

Like Herndon, this militant I. L. D. attorney unmasked the Georgia lynch courts and the whole monstrous system of plundering of the Negro people by ity. Two outstanding world-fa sent the spearhead of the attack of the white ruling class | against the Negro masses: They are Scottsboro and Hern- | don. In these two cases are tion in sharp contrast to their in-|the ruling class offensive against © the liberation struggles of the Ne- gro people. In these two symbols, the landlord rulers of Alabama and Georgia have formed a united front of legal lynch terror to enforce their bloody system of peonage against the sharecroppers, both white and Negro, and against all the consti- tutional and national rights of the Negro people. What are the points of similarity in these two cases? In both Scotts- boro and Herndon, there is the flagrant and open denial to the Negro people of their right to sit on juries; secondly, there is the same lynch atmosphere whipped up by the ruling’ class judges and perse- cutors; thirdly, there is the clear fascist attempt of the ruling class | to break the solidarity of the Negro and white workers by feverish ef- forts to array race against race, using the subterfuge of the “red” scare to frighten away the white workers from a revolutionary alli- ance with the Negro masses for winning their (the white workers) own liberation from the yoke of capitalism, Rulers Use Age-Old Lie of “Rape” In the Scottsboro cases, the ruling class uses the age-old bugaboo of “rape” to cloak their offensive against the Negro masses. When all other means of chauvinist prop- taganda fail, the capitalists always fall back upon the “rape” theory— the theory that the Negro is inher- ently a brute, a “rapist,” and in- ferior to the white race. It has been worked and over- |worked, and now the white worker is himself realizing to what depths the southern bourbon rulers will stoop to keep him hating the Negro worker, and to keep him enslaved to the “race superiority” poison which is resulting in wage differen- tials between North and South, and lowered living conditions for both the Negro and white worker. A Naked Attack Upon Southern Toilers The Herndon case is an open, un- concealed and naked attack upon the southern workers in Georgia. The ruling class was in this case too crude to use even the bugaboo Prisoners. | Ways and Sell at Factories! Sell on “[ didn’t know that EVERYBODY here wanted to buy my papers! Party Members!
