RED SPARKS
Let's Go Back 1871
By JORGE

A New York daily which is pub
fishing chunks of the city's history,
tells us the astonishing fact that
up till 1852, New York City got
along very well without a police
force, and that up. till 1s43 they
only were on duty at night, their
duties being more to serve as fire
men than as strikebreakers as
is the chief business of the present
layout. All of which reminds us
again how we'll we could get along
now without capitalist cops who,
pretending to prevent disorder"
are the ones to start it. Abolish
the police! Let US have workers
militia-under workers govern
ment, of course! The whole machine
of body of plug-uglies for the
bosses, armed to the teeth and dis
guised as impartial" should be
wiped out. There an be no peace
for the workers until they are abol
ished.

Bosses Order
Wage Cuts As
Hoover Fakes

I NEW YORK. - The drive on
wages, which has been proceeding
without interruption since early in
the year, is now assuming organized
form, dumping off unceremoniously
all the slick phrases of the indus
trialists who promised Hoover that
nothing of the sort would happen.
Textiles, steel, autos, coal-all the
basic industries have seen drastic
wage reductions of 10 to $3.50 with
out a murmur from the great
stationary engineer of the White
House.
Comes now the National City
Bank, most powerful in America,
with more unctuous phrases about
the "joint responsibility of all
classes" and stern command that
wages must come down.
Hoover Caught Lying.
While President Hoover hurrahs
for prosperity his own official fact
gathering departments brand him
a liar. The latest to do so is the
market news service in Chicago of
his department of agriculture which
explains in its. weekly butter
markets review why so little butter
is being consumed. Prices are 10c
a pound under year ago and still
the fools won't buy butter. The
department tells why:
at does not necessarily follow
that low prices of butter increase
consumption outlets. The industrial
situation is of primary Importance
in this regard. For some time con.
siderable unemployment has been
reported at most Of the larger in
dustrial districts. Many manufac
turing plants are working with
depleted forces and in some in
stances rather sharp redutions in
wages have been reported. This
unemployment or reduced income is
bound to be a factor in consump
ton outlets"
What's A Promise?
Not only does the department
make liar out of the president
but it tells the truth about the way
the employers nave fired their work
ers and slashed wages in spite Of
their pledge to Hoover to maintain
conditions intact. The pledge OF
resident Green of the American
federation of Labor aAd other labor
chiefs to make no attempt to in
crease wages or better conditions
during the depression has been
faithfully kept.

masses in the trade unions, factories,
fraternal organizations, and es-
pecially to reach new strata OF
workers.
TIE W.I.R. shall issue leaflets
and distribute widely, stressing the
Importance of united action of the
employed and unemployed workers
N this campaign.
1t is of course also necessary to
raise funds for the financing of the
National Unemployment Conven-
ton for strengthening and main
tanning the Convention. (Feeding
# delegates, other arrangements,
etc.)
Committee Meets June Il
A broad meeting of the campaign
committee shall be held on June 81
in order to organize and determine
the organizational measures neces-
:; ry in every district for the carry
;rg out of the campaign.
The national unemployed Solidar-
;tv Day will be conducted with com.
ittees visiting the shops, trade
III lens, fraternal organizations, by
ara ngements to have speakers of
the committee to every important af-
fci If of the district. Collections are
ais" to be made at every opportun-
~.
On the 2SsL, there will be shop
gate collections, house to house col
lections, tagging during the day, and
the campaign will wind up with a
series of open air meetings at all
important centers of the city.
The districts and local WIR are
to send all funds to the New York
office of the WIR and the urgency
of this campaign necessitates the
strictest financial responsibility. The
money collected for the support OF
the unemployed solidarity campaign
cannot be used by the W.I.R. sec.
tions for any other work but must
come to New York to be used fol
meeting the heavy expenses of the
Unemployed Convention.

The Divine Defiant

Bishop Cannon, who is summoned
before the Senate Lobby Investiga-
tion Committee, to tell some Of his
godly tricks with campaign funds
and the stock market, has, told the
u. S. Senate to go to hell. Of
course, being a Holy Man, he took
two hours and a great deal of Ian
guage to say it, but that's what
it amounted to. Somehow, we are
reminded of the Gastonia prose
cutor, Carpenter, who attacked a
witness because she didn't believe it
god, and who rolled on the floor,
frothing at the mouth at the "men-
ace to our religion, institutions,
etc. We call attention to the fact
that Bishop Cannon is high church
man of the Methodist Church
South-get the South" which is
Carpenters Cardinals own faith.
The Methodist Church split on the
issue of slavery, and its "South"
faction still believes i'll slavery and
bribery, lynching and playing the
stock exchange. This is goodness
under capitalism.

"The unemployed situation is de-

Wages and conditions of workers
in the corn belt state of South
Dakota are just about at bad as in
the country generally, is the infor-
NATION contained in the recently is
sued twelfth annual report of that
states industrial commissioner. The
workers are few in number-be-
tween 5000 and 6,000-but they
fare no better than in any of the
more crowded industrial districts Of
the East.
Some of the larger and presum-
ably better wage companies of the
state report to the commissioner on
wages paid. These are averages for
full time employment and make no
allowances for the Is per cent aver
age unemployment that we find
even among trade union workers in
this country.
Some South Dakota wage samples
are the following.
This Means Misery.
Manchester Biscuit Co. - 1870
males, average wage, $110 per
month; $50 females, average wage,
SIS per month.
Warren Lamb Lumber Co.-301
laborers, 1929 per day; 116 labor
ers in logging camps, $3.73 per day.
Homestake Mining Co.-762 males

cation of the number in the high
category.

DETROIT IObLESS
IN Forced LADOR
Ford Advises Them to
Die in the Country

DETROIT, Mich, June 13.-John
Gillespie, commissioner of publ,
works and outstanding member G.
the local political machine contro'
ing the city, is now trying to ma!
the unemployed the goat in a me-
economy schemes he has evolved.
He has demanded at a city coun-
ell meeting that all those on welfare
department lists who refuse to
shovel garbage for the city at $50
month should be taken off the
lists and allowed to starve. Giles
pie has been under fire for sudden
rises in the cost of city paving since
he went into office. "You are talk
ing here of saving 10 cents a yard
on paving" he shouted, "and we are
throwing away $500,O0O month on
these welfare lists"
In the discussion Welfare Com
missioner Dolan let it out that Gil
lespie was lying. The men provided
by the department of public welfare
work for nothing. Dolan "persuades'
them that if they get relief they
ought to work without wages, and
they do. They need the relief.
Crazed by hunger of his family
Elmer A. Leahy stole $185 from th2
post office at New Boston, Mich. Ir
federal court he was sentenced tc
10 years in Leavenworth prison.
Why Not Eat Grass?
Henry Ford, well-known auto
manufacturer and collector. of an.
tiques, has issued a cure for unem.
/ ployment. Every farmer with al
acre and every workman with a lot
ought to plant everything they car
and as much as they can this year
1t is a big step back to employ
ment," he says.
Having given this gem of wisdom
to the jobless millions, Henry goe:
on to say that when people become
too contented there's usually trouble
ahead" He has taken steps to pre-
vent such catastrophe from hap
pening in Detroit by speeding W
his workers under the guise of /;
wage raise and by firing thousands
in order that their work might b,
done more cheaply elsewhere. H,
has admitted that Ford work is nov
divided among 1900 manufacturing
concerns.

100 PER CENT STATE
JUBLESS AS ANY OTHER
Low Wages and Unemployment With Many
Hurt In Industry Is Record of South Dakota

Dakota Central Telephone Co..
324 females average $685. a month.
Northwestern Bell Telephone Co.
--282 females average $63.O8 a
month.
Not Ruined By Cheap, Foreign
Labor"
1t is clear from these figures that
even in the nearly 100 per cent
American state of South Dakota
there are plenty of workers who are
among the 100000 people living
in the United States who live below
the bare minimum standard of liv-
ing. Very few of them could meet
what government agencies have de-
scribed as a health and decency
budget.
The hazards of the workers life
in American industry are also illus
trated in this report. Some fatali-
ties reported by the commissioner:
But Dying Is Cheap, Too.
"Claim No. 39534-employe of the
Northwestern Public Service Co.
was killed as the result of severe
shock while working on secondary
wires on a pole.
Claim 39906-employe of the
Keystone Consolidated Mines, Inc,
with 20 years experience as a
miner, was descending ladder in
manway when loosened rock
struck him on the head, causing him
to lose his hold and strike his head
on timber. He suffered concus-
sion resulting in delayed cerebral
hemorrhage from which he died.
Claim No. 42342-an employee of
Hanson and Alison, was fatally in
jured while fixing a windmill" The
ladder gave way 40 feet from the
ground.
Then there were several quarry
workers killed by dynamite and
miner named Nels Pihlaja, an en-
ploye of the Homestead Mining Co.,
who "was injured by a train of ore
cars hitting and dragging him 80
feet" Death resulted the following
day. And lumber worker who was
INSTANTLY killed when a cant hook
slipped and the log started rolling
He tripped and the log rolled over
him.
