Lead IN WAGE cut ATTACK
Fascist Council" Opens to Theme Song of
prosperity, Prosperity

In 1921 Hoover wrote: "Construc-
ton is the balance wheel of Ameri-
can industry. Activity in construc.
ton bears a close relation to gen.
eral industrial conditions" The
balance sheet is way out of line,
Building construction is suffering
he worst slump in seven years.
Last year Hoover pointed a way
nat the capitalists in their fascist
council will now adopt in an at
tempt to get out of the present de-
preston. "By economy in expendi-
ture," Hoover said "the capitalists
could avoid disaster" Economy in
expenditure" translated from Hoov-
erian language into the tongue of
the class struggle means drastic
wage cuts.
Wage cuts on Il nationwide scale
was the first question proposed in
Hoover's fascist gatherings. 1t was
this that made Henry Ford come out
in the role of the hero of the bour-
goisie in his fake announcement of
wage increases that meant more
production for the Ford workers for
less money.
Herbert Hoover knows how to go
about lowering the standard of liv-
ing of the workers. His experience
as food dictator during the war
taught him a great deal about how
little food a worker can produce on.
In order to make his plans for
wage-cutting drives more perfect,
he enlists his old friends, the Off
Gals of the A. f. of L.
Green, Vol and Lewis, with their
swollen pocketbooks, were only too
glad to accept a lower standard of
living-for the workers. But they
count without their host, The Ameri-
can workers are expressing their
resistance to the fascist council.
Under the leadership of the Com
munist Party and the Trade Union
Unity League this mass attack on
the capitalist wage-cutting offensive
will grow. The working class will
answer the brutal drive of capital
lists and the social-fascists with
ever-increasing struggles.

1T Never Rams" USheyed
IN at the Republic

IT NEVER RAINS USHERED IN
The Republic Theatre is housing
Aurania Rouverol's latest comedy
ut Never Rains" 1t is a sure-fire
farce full of bright lines and action,
AS usual the plot here is of little
Importance. 1t has been used time
and time again. But who cares?
Although the situations that develop
are sterotyped, they are so well
handled by the playwright that you
actually begin to believe that they
are brand new. The old jokes about
the California sunshine and real es-
tate are brought out in new dresses
that fit them amazingly well.
1t is the story Of Henry and Ma
bel Rogers, who live in bungalow
just outside of Los Angeles, mem
bers of the Electromagnetic.
Carl J. Julius is the outstanding
character of the play. Sidney Fox
is cute as a young flapper, while
Jack Bennett is remarkably good
as Henry Rogers. Others include
Pauline Drake, Anna Dere, Fay
Courtney and Abram Gillette.

NEEDLE WORKERS
FIGHT DEVELOPS

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 5.-The
organization campaign, and prepare
tons for energetic struggle in the
dressmakers' trade are being rushed
forward by the Needle Trades Work
ers' Industrial Union in New York.
The workers will strike shops which
refuse union recognition, the 40-hour
week, abolition of bad conditions, or
try to cut wages below the union
scale.
But here, the officials and gang
sters of the company union, the In
ternational Ladies Garment Work
ers, calling themselves delegates to
national convention, rose and
cheered the speeches of their presi-
dent, Benjamin Schlesinger, their
vice president, David Dubinsky, and
their managers of New York locals,
Luigi Antonini, Max Spielman, Jo-
seph Breslau, and of julius Hoch-
man, chairman of the resolutions
committee. What these well tried
agents of the bosses were saying, all
of them, was that the Strike" of
the |. L. G. w. scheduled for some
time in January, was to "set up
machinery for the regulation and
policing of the dress trade, similar
to that in the cloak industry" They
also praised the impartial chair
man" means of breaking strikes
used in the mems clothing industry.
Acting Governor Lehman of New
York was the principal speaker at
the Fifth Annual Dinner of the New
York Clothing Manufacturers Elk
change, me-, at Hotel Biltmore,
Wednesday, He lauded the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers for their
meek submission to the demands of
the bosses for the last five years,
during which they have not had a
strike in New York, and praised the
efficiency of the impartial chair
man" and his court, which helps pre-
vent the clothing workers from
making any resistance to the ex-
ploitation of the employers.

Shoe WORKERS
Defy SUMMONS
Mass Meeting Votes to
Support Strike

Hundreds of shoe workers, both
from unorganized shops and MEM
bers of the Independent Shoe Work
ers' Union, which is. now leading the
struggle in IS shops on strike or
locked out by the bosses at the adj
vice of the government, crowded
into Amsterdam Hall, Brooklyn,
last night. They heard Fred Bic
denkapp, manager of the union, and
other Spokesman tell of the present
struggle and the necessity to rally
all the shoe workers for combined
attack on the bosses wage cutting,
union smashing and piece-work pro-
gram.
They heard William McGinnis,
sentenced to Is years in the Caste
MIA case, tell the shoe strikers that
the issues in their fight we're the
same as those in Gastonia. And
they had an object lesson in the use
by the bosses of the police and
courts.
Cops Bring Injunction.
While Biedenkapp was speaking
detectives accompanied by a large
force of police marched into the hall
and handed him a summons to APP
pear with Steve Alexanderson and
Hyman Levin before Justice Was
servogel of the supreme court on
December 10 and show cause why
they should not be enjoined from
taking part in the strike.
The strikers Kissed the cops. Bic
denkapp kicked the injunction sum-
mons aside and declared amidst
cheers that the strike would go on
in spite of any injunction. He told
the police to get out, that the
strikers did not Want them, and
they went.
The summons gives definite proof
that the government is back of tho
attack of the bosses on the shoe
workers union and that it is in
tended as a first blow against al
fighting unions of the workers. The

almost exclusively on statements

working class opposition to the fur
Their assassination of the govern

The Communist parliamentary
group proposed to remove this SUBJ

The story of the great banking scan

The Communist demand was re-
jected by the combined vote of the
socialist with the other capitalist
parties, and the Communist mem
Der, Comrade PECK, spoke against
the Severing law, comparing it to
the anti-socialist law of Bismarck.
Severing attempted to defend the
bill, but a storm of denunciation
broke loose from the Communist
parliamentary members and from
the public gallery, which was so
tempestuous that Severing's speech
was prevented. The session was in
te~rupted several times and the pres

numerous Communist deputies ex-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.--Hoovel

at stake.
Wasn't it Hoover who repeated
10 a sickening degree the vulgar,
Jazz economist phrase about I'VE do

violent form that it sent Hoover and
Owen D. Young scrambling to the
White House telephone for days in
advance OF the economic confer

ploiters in the country to come to
Washington to meet the crisis.

TERRIBLE SCANDAL IS UNCOVERED AT KODIAK
 BY LOCAL PAPER

KODIAK, Nov, 6, Special to the Gateway y)-Despite the fact that Kodiak is a long ways off the beat len path of travel in Alaska and is considered by many to De cut off from the world in general except for an occasional steamboat, this lancient Russian hamlet is just has it's fingers on the pulse of the anything else but. Tn fact Kodiak world every day and knows what is going on in congress or in London or Paris right to the minute.
 This has been brought about by the inauguration of the Kodiaker, Ia daily newspaper which comes hot off the typewriters of the naval radio station on Wood Island, across the bay and is delivered to patrons in the town by the energet- ic staff of young men who consti- ltute part of the personnel at the station
 The paper is subscribed for by the hotels, stores, pool rooms, reF- 'taurants and private parties and carries the latest news from all over the world together with a fair pro- portion of local news and editorial comment The boys grab the stuff out of the air whenever there is a Hull in the regular business of the station and make most of their de- liveries in their own motor launch which they recently purchased.
 J. D. Pipes is the proprietor and managing editor of the Kodiaker with B. Coe assistant editor and star reporter A. ID. Tubre is leg man and printers devil. Under the fearless guidance of this palla- dium of liberty number of gigan- tic civil reforms have been inaugu- rated in Kodiak such as the limita- tion of the height of skyscrapers and the overthrow of the poodle of municipal affairs.
