GOVERNOR BUILDS
NEEDLE FASCISM
c alls Conference of
Bosses and [. L. C. w.

Governor Roosevelt, though a
democrat, follows hard on the lead
of President Hoover, republican, in
the formation of fascist machinery.
Over Roosevelt's signature, a letter
has gone out calling a conference
of manufacturing bosses in the cloak
and dress industry, wholesalers and
retailers and the right wing, COM
pany unionized International Ladies
Garment Workers. 1t is to meet in
the Hotel Roosevelt (naturallyD y
for Dec. ~. The object stated is
to "have an informal discussion of
certain problems affecting business
and industrial conditions with the
purpose of encouraging friendly and
helpful cooperation"
Since the employers and the IL.
CIV. heads have it already agreed
upon that there will be fake strike
before long, at which the unorgan-
lied bosses will be drawn into the
bosses associations, and the I.L.G.
w. given the proud post of official
company union in as many shops
as it can be established in, it only
needed that the government and the
retailers step il and arrange fur
ther details to complete the anti
labor machinery throughout the in
dustry-from the shop to the con-
sumer, with the state presiding as
the executive of all the bosses.
Those invited to send representa-
tives by Roosevelt are the Industrial
Council of Cloak and Suit Manufac-
turers, Inc, the organization of "in-
side" manufacturers; the Merchant
Ladies Garment Association, the
iobbers; the American Cloak and
Suit Manufacturers Association,
representing the contractors; the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union; the Garment Retailers
of America and the National Retail
Dry Goods Association.
Real Union Leads Workers.
The $4,000 workers in the cloak
and dress industry have no hope
from this cooperation of the state,
the employers, and the union mis-
leaders. Their hope lies in an or
ganization which significantly
enough was not invited to the con-
ference-the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union, which is now to
lead struggle in all shops where
its demands for improved wages,
union hours and conditions are not
recognized, struggle to organize
the workers of the needle trades
solidly in one militant industrial
union, able to do little deciding
for the benefit of the workers, in

reached by Governor Roosevelt's

destroy the unity of working class

CRISIS CROWS
DESPITE HOOVER
Utilities Trusts Send
Out Fake Figures

WASHINGTON, Nov 27. = The
bosses of the big utilities trusts,
headed by Owen D. Young and Sam
uel insult, are filling the capitalist
press with wild statements about fu-
ture extensions of plants.
The figures published by the capi-
talist sheets vary from $4,000, 100000
to 81, ,4OO,0 100000. This is pure guess
work and has no babis in fact.
1t is along the general line of
phychologizing the masses into the
belief that the depression will be
short lived.
Sharp decreases in production all
along the line, and the statement of
the leading steel industry bosses
that the steel industry cannot hope
to win back its losses" point to a
big decrease in the use of electric
power in the future.
A severe slump in the utilities in
dustries, electric, gas, street rail
ways, etc, is certain to follow the
widespread drop in production and
the growing mass unemployment.
The barrage of high-sounding fig
ures coming out of Hoover's confer
ences is an attempt to set up a thick
smoke-screen preliminary to the ma
tion-wide wage slashing and union
breaking campaign agreed upon by
Hoover, Young, insult, Green, Woll
and Morrison.
Capitalist financial and economic
writers are not swallowing the
Hoover baloney about a new "busi-
ness BOOM"
"Loadings of railway freight have
in the past years pretty accurately
reflected the course of trade" says
a financial writer in the "New York
Times" Nov. 28. Their rapid shrink
age after the middle of December,
1920, for instance as compared not
only with the immediately preceding
weeks but with the same weeks a
year before, was a measure of the
trade reaction which ensued. The
lOadings reported yesterday for the
week ending Nov. 16 were the small
est of any full business week since
April, and less than those of the
corresponding week in any of the
past half-dOzen years the de-
crease being largest not in grain OF
coal but in miscellaneous freight"
What this capitalist writer says
is that the outlook for the depression
is worse than for 1920 when mil
lions of workers tramped the street
out of work.
