Strike-breaker Talks About
"MOscOw."
"It is the avowed purpose OF
Communism, through decisions at
Moscow" said Green, who promised
Hoover last December that the
A. F. of L. would oppose strikes
for higher wages in order to help
the corporations recuperate their
Wall Street losses, "to capture con-
troll of the American Federation OF
Labor. You will observe there is
no attempt to break into such or
CARNATIONS as the Rotary Club, the
Kiwanis, Chambers of Commerce
and similar fields"
Evidently, Green, feeling that the
A. F. of L. is no more a working
class organization than the Rotary
Club and that it serves the. same
purpose in breaking strikes as does
the Chambers of Commerce, is ag-
grievated at the discrimination
against the A. F. of L. by the Com
munists.
"The Communists know" Green
proceeded, that if revolution is to
originate it must be among the
masses of people and through dis
satisfaction of the working people"
Green tried to pretend that the
Communist Party and the Trade
Union Unity League with their fight
for "Work or Wages" for the un-
employed was "inconsequential at
the present time," but that it was
the potential importance that was
serious" evidently realizing that the
dissatisfaction of the working
people" was due to get worse in
stead of better.
He Fights Jobless.
This is given point by Green's
testimony before another congress
sional committee, the House Jud-
iciary Committee, where he also APP
pears on Wednesday, to try to get
Congress to pretend to do some
thing for the unemployed by pas
sing the fake "relief" measures of
the Tammany representative, Wag-
ner. In this hearing, Green, who
brazenly lied about unemployment,
saying that there are only 100000
jobless while the census report OF
the government admits there are at
least 6,50O,O00, had to confess that;
about 100000 families in
America today are living below
the minimum of health and eff
'ficiency. and 100000 lin ad-
dition) have barely enough to
support themselves at a mini
num-"
Meanwhile this condition prevails
or nearly 100000 workers fam
lies according to Green's admission,
the U. S. capitalist government does
nothing for the unemployed but
club them with police billies and
send the New York Unemployed del
egation to prison for three years
without trial.
Moreover, the U. S. government,
while it has not cent for nearly
100000 joblcss American workers
and their families, yesterday thru
the Appropriations Committee Of
the House Of Representatives, APP
proved what is known as the "Defi-
cheney Bill" TO pay out various
items, among which are:
For a new U. S. penitentiary,
$1,700,000.
/ For prison industries, $500,000.
For prison camps, S750,000.
For new U. s. jails, $1,0O0,000.
For keeping Marines in Near
aqua, SL,325,000.
/ For Hoover's Commission on
'Law Enforcement" $25O,OOO.
In addition the government is
paying German shipowners for ships
seized by the U. S. during the war,
a sum said to be, by German cap
italists, around $82,000,000. The
grafters are also to get paid $780,
100000 for government buildings"
about which recently a scandal was
hushed up. And the Fish commit
tee to Investigate" the Communists
and the Daily Worker, is also giver
UNLIMITED funds" to try to suppress
the rising dissatisfaction of the
working people" which Green was
so alarmed about.
