An eye-witness, Dolores Verdi, told the Associated Press how a Teligicus group, milling before the church door, spied a boy wearing a rod hat alighting from a trolley cer. * Someone shouted, ‘There's one of them’! “Men and women rushed over and dragged him to within ten feet of the church, beating him uncon- scious with sticks and stones, “As he was lying, with his head partly crushed and streaming with blood, I saw a man draw a knife and lean over the body. Then the crowd closed closed in and I was unable to see if he was stabbed. The body lay there until the Red Cross carried it away.” ‘The eye-witness affirmed the gov- ernment report that the church ad- he-ents had attacked the meeting of the Red Shirts. The strongest ’ supporters of the few remaining reactionary “religious” groups are the fascists, who hope, by exploit- ing the religious issue, to advance an open fascist regime in Mexico. For the masses of workers and peas- ants. who for centuries have suf- feed oppression and the most sav- age domination on the part of the Catholic Church, any action which , does away with the venal power of | the church is welcomed as a step forward. The government is utiliz- ing its anti-clerical campaign as a means with which to impress the masses with its “social” program. But the workers and peasants, how- _ever, are demanding more than the conduct of the stz:uggle against the Catholic Church, and are waging sharp action for their immediate economic and political needs. Every I. W. 0. branch should | rect Worker on its Ls cron on higher than last April. Attempting to gloss over the enor- mous plundering of the masses that has been going on as a result of the Roosevelt N. R. A. price-raising program, the report stated that there was a 20-25 per cent rise in payrolis, Even~if this were so, the rise in the costs of necessities would have erased completely this alleged increase. Actually, however, the alleged wage increases refer only to the ditures of the employers over a real wages of all workers during the past year. Despite the large increase in cor- poration profits, which have been | reflected .in dividends and interest | payments that will total over six billion by the end of the year, the Federal reserve report indicates the failure of the Roosevelt program to solve the crisis in production. “Fac. tory employment, as well as indus- trial output were found to be about the same as a year ago,” the re- port stated. The report also indicated that the big landlords and plantation owners had received $300,000,000 in direct subsidies from the Roosevelt government as reward for their de- struction of farm goods and acreage. The resulting increases in the prices of farm goods were borne by the masses, who had to pay more for goods during the year. United Front Is Formed In Evanston, Illinois, Against Police Terror EVANSTON, Tl, Dec. 31.—The local organizer of the Socialist Party pledged the full support of his or- ganization in the fight for the re- | lease of six workers who were ar- rested in their homes last week, and fingerprinted and photographed as an outgrowth of a visit of a com- mee of workers to the relief sta- on.

The mechanization program for the army to cost $17,000,000 without any delay was also approved by Roosevelt. In the next fiscal year, about 700 new planes will be constructed for the army with Roosevelt's approval. ‘These appropriations follow Roosevelt's record-breaking expendi- tures of more than two billion dol- lars for war-building in the past twenty months, a peak for peace time war-building. | | “I hope the idea of a second plebi- | |ing of twenty-four new warships and | SEVERING AIDS Hathaway and Lawson J§SR STRIK NAZI DRIVE Expose U.S.S.R.

Oswald Gar- |rison Villard, one of the three | scheduled speakers, backed out of speaking at the symposium at the | last minute. The difference between the Hitler economic, social and cultural view- | point, is retrogressing, and the ex- | ecution of proven counter-revolu- | tionaries in the Soviet Union, the only country in the world which is | progressing on all fields, was clearly brought out by Hathawa He showed conclusivey that Villard, in | his public statements, was taking his place on the side of the capi- talists and against the workers. | Hathaway pointed out that the | dictatorship of the proletariat exists precisely to defend the tremendous gains of the Revolution from the | attacks of the overthrown Russian | capitalists and their international) allies, and from the terrorist at- i} |that he had not known that of entered the Soviet Union illegally from neighboring countries. He declared that the intellectual who today claims to be on the side of the workers must understand that to protest against the execution of such elements by the Soviet Union is to bolster up capitalism at the expense of the workers. vation Henry Hart, who acted as chair-| man, told the story of Villard’s sudden withdrawal on the pretext the meeting was being held under the auspices of the National Committee for the Defense of Political Prison- ers and because he “had understood this was to be a protest meeting against the Russian ‘purge’.” The meeting had been called by| j the National Committee in response to a letter received from one of its} members urging that protests be addressed to the Soviet Government. The purpose of the meeting was to | clarify the stand of the committee in relation to the facts behind the executions.

C., Dec, 31.—- | Having given his approval yester- \day morning to the building of 24 new warships and 270 new bombing planes for next year, President | Roosevelt today told the hundreds of thousands of poverty-stricken war veterans that the payment of |the cash bonus “would be detri- mental to your interest and inef- fectual as a recovery measure.” With cynical brutality, Roose- velt calmly informed the starving veterans that since 85 per cent of them die practically paupers anyway, it would be wiser for them to hold on to the remnants of their back- pay certificates so they could leave them to their destitute families, to be held iO: maturing in 1945, ten years from now. _Furthermere, Roascvels argued, the majority of vets are so loaded debts that their back be gobbled up by cred- | itors, and thus, he argued, it would do the veterans no direct good. “Too Much for Budget” Forgetting that the government shells out every 12 months more than one and one half billion dol- lars solely to take care of the bond interest for the Wall Street banks and the sinking fund on these loans, Roosevelt synically told the vets that the two billions required to pay the vets would be too much for the government’s budget. The amount paid by Roosevelt in the past 18 months for war building, two billion dollars, would just pay the money the government owes the veterans on their back-pay certi- ficates. This blunt spurning of the de- mands of the veterans for cash pay- ment on their back-pay certificates Was contained in a letter Roosevelt wrote to a commander of an Amer- ican Legion Post at Henderson, Texas, Garland R. Farmer. It is taken as the official state- | In his letter, Roosevelt said: |“What to me is very important .. . is the fact that of the veterans who dic, approximately 85 per cent of them leave no other asset to their | family but the adjusted service cer- tificate or the balance due on the certificate.” The veterans should now think of haying something to leave their families, Roosevelt said. Further, he told the veterans that | they would have to depend on the relief handouts of the localities and State governments. “I know that you appreciate that all expenditures for relief have been made in the interest of recovery and for all our jcitizens, non-veterans as well as \veterans,” Roosevelt said, thus us- ing the misery of the unemployed as an argument against the bonus for the jobless vets. Roosevelt's letter showed that the veterans have had to pay $220,000,- 000 in interest. to the government on advance borrowings on their cer- tificates. : Plenty for Bankers Roosevelt found @ sudden interest in where the veterans’ money would s Bonus Approves Program for 24 Navy Ships and 270 Bombers go to if they got their bonus, and he stated that the $1,620,000,000 the | Veterans have already borrowed has not “stimulated business and aided | recovery.” Therefore, he argued, it is not necessary to give the vet- jerans their bonus now, forgetting |that the Roosevelt administration |has given Wall Strest monopolies |more than six billions in subsidies tion for the crisis other than in- creasing capitalist profits. The widespread misery among the veterans has given rise to a tre- mendous movement among them for the immediate cash payment of the bonus.

C, FIXES DATA ON PAY Gives the Em Statement on Profits And Wages WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31.— The Federal Trade Commission, ap- pointed by President Roosevelt to “investigate” profits, wages and working conditions, following the sellout of the recent general textile | strike, made an obviously doctored report that the mills operated at a substantial loss preceding the gen- eral strike. The report was actually the state- ment of the employers themselves, because it was admittedly “based upon answers of 765 textile compa- nies to questionnaires.” The report declared that the companies lost money in July and August of 1934. It admitted that net profits were made in the eighteen months pre- ceding July 1, 1934. That the report is a false one. which whitewashes the low wages land terrific speed-up in the textile industry, is seen from even frag- mentary figures on profits of these two months which are available. For example, the Bibb Manufacturing Co. of Macon and Columbia, Ga., paid a quarterly dividend of $1 on Noy. 1, 1934, and reported a profit; of $1,590,827 (before taxes and de- preciation). The Dunean Mills Greenville, S. C., paid a quarter! dividend of $1.75 per share on pre- ferred stock on Oct. 1. The Belding- Corticelli Co., of Putnam, Conn. | distributed a dividend of $1 a share on Noy. 1. This company made a net profit of $373,673 for nine months up to Sept. 30. The Victor | Monaghan Oo.. of South Carolina, paid a quarterly dividend of $1.75 a share on preferred stock on Oct. 1 All of the above mills played a leading role in sending national guard and hired deputies in killing, | jailing, and clubbing textile strikers Other companies, whose state- ments of profits give the lie to the report: of the Fed wal Trade Com- | mission, are: The United Merchant and Manufacturing Company, whose profits for the year ending July 31 | were $1,171,000; the West Point Manufacturing Co., with profits ot $871,000 for the ten months up to | Sept. 1; the Bibb company, with net | profits of $715,000 for the year end-| ing Aug. 31; the Jansen Knitting Mills, with a yearly profit of $463 - {000 up to Aug. 31; the Goodall | Worsted Co., with profits of $302,000 ending Sept. 31; the Berkshire Fine Spinning Co., with $208,000 profits | for the year ending Sept. 30, and the! Century Ribbon Co., whose for nine months, ending Sept. were $133,000. The Pacific Mills were the heavi- | est profit makers of the year.
