Crisis Grows in u. S.
Showing Hoover Lies

(Contin7.ed from Page Onel
less textile workers are searching
/ garbage cans for food.
Of course, Hoover and Davis's lies
were exposed even by such capitalist
! agencies as the commissioner of la
Dor of the State of New York,
Francis Perkins; the capitalist fl
nancial mouthpieces, the Anndlist
and the Journal of Commerce. The
very facts of the deepening crisis
itself explode the feeble lies of the
imperialist spokesman.
The day following Hoover's ere
vised' announcement for the week
ended January IS, the American
Railway Association publishes it's
! figures on freight car loading cover
ing the week ended January 1S-
much later date than that of Mr..
Hoover's propaganda Department
of Labor. These figures show that
production has declined sharply even
below December, or the first two
weeks in January.
There 10ds q decrease of 1888
Gears shipped during the week ended
January Is, belo1v the previous week.
This more than any soft-soap
phrases of Hoover shows a steep
drop IN production and an increase
IN the unemployed army. The same
report shows that there was drop
of 84,508 freight cars loaded with
commodities below the same week in
| 1929, and a reduction of 1880 be-
low the same week in 1928.
With the sharp speed-up intro
duced by all the capitalists in the
present crisis, in order to produce
more with less workers, and to aid
their fight for more world markets,
! Hoover wants the unemployed to
believe that the bosses are hiring
workers when they are cutting down
production on the one hand, and
speeding-up the workers left on the
| job, on the other hand.
These whole-cloth lies cannot stop
the mass army of unemployed in
| the United States from organizing
and fighting against their growing
miseries, and modelling, under the
leadership of the Communist Party,
for the world wide demonstration
against unemployment, to reach its
climax on February 26.
$4,000 in Cleveland.
While Hoover talks about ''in.
cfeasing employment" other capital
list politicians are frantically appeal
ing to the bosses to hire more
workers, because the unemployed
army is becoming gigantic. In Cleve-
land, Harold H. Burton, acting city
manager, appealed to 1000 indus
trialists in the Cleveland area to
stop firing workers, because he es-
timated that the unemployed army
in Cleveland already numbered more
than $4,000. Mr.. Burton's $4,000
can be doubled without stretching

Unemployed United Nationally in
CzechO-SlOvakia.

PRAGUE.-The appeal of the
Prague Central Committee of I'M
employed Workers for coordinated
action on the part of unemployed all
over the country has had a magnifi-
cent response. The demonstration
of unemployed in Komotau which
the police tried to break up, and the
demonstration in Brunn, are signs
that the masses are taking Up de-
termined struggle.
The general discomfort is affect
ing even nationalist and fascist cir
cles, and unemployed Czech legion
naires demonstrated in Prague
against the decision of their leaders
to reduce the support paid to them.
Troops were used against the dem
onstrators and ore shot was fired.
The swift growth Of mass starva-
ton throughout the world among
the jobless millions as the world
economic crisis deepens and attains
permanency, is driving the interna-
tional working class into action. No
longer willing to starve peacefully
in hope of better days that never
come, the jobless of the whole world
are beginning to take the offensive
in struggle against being starved to
death by capitalism.
In every country, masses are raj
lying to struggle, uniting the job
less with those left at work, but
who are victimized by speed-ups,
wage cuts and longer hours and
faced themselves with dismissal at
any moment. In daily meetings be-
fore factory gates, refusing to &C
cept discharge when they are fired,
demanding work or Wages" mass
ing their forces to protect each
other from eviction for non-payment
of rent, joining the fight for the
jobless with a fight against wage
cuts and speed-ups, millions are
preparing for the giant demonstra-
lions the world over to take place
on February 26.

the truth. An unemployed council
should be at once formed there by
the T.U.U.L.
In Greenwich, Conn.,, out of a
total working population of about
1000, more than 60 per cent, or
1900 are out of work. This is ad-
mitted by the bosses themselves in
a dispatch to the New York Times
dan. 30, 1890.
One of the industries in which
Hoover announces a rise in EN-
ployment" is the tobacco industry.
Here are some facts from workers
in the heart of the tobacco industry
in the South:
From 800 to 500 workers apply
to the Reynolds Tobacco Company
for jobs every day. One or tioo
are hired. More are fired than are
employed because of the terrific
speed-up introduced in the tobacco
plants.
Speed~up Cigarette Machines
and Workers.
In 1928 the machines run by the
workers in the Reynolds Tobacco
Co. in the cigarette department
turned out &c packages of cigaret-
tes a minute. In 1929, new mach
ines were installed, which packed
70 a minute. Since January, 1880,
the machines have been speeded up
to produce SO packages of cigaret-
ties minute. More is produced with
less workers.
The steel industry, about which
Hoover and Davis boast so much,
is not hiring workers because a large
part of those already working are
on part time basis. The steel bosses
purposely curtailed their production
to the low point of 40 per cent of
capacity in December, and closed
production for more than week,
in order to give the appearance when
they started up again that produc-
ton was increasing.
The crisis in the steel industry
will continue to grow worse because
of the big slump in the building in
dustry and the so per cent out in
the output of the automobile plants.
An indication of the continued cri-

sis in the steel industry, despite the
attempts of the Hoover publicity
agents to make it appear that things
are lettering in this sphere, is con-
tanned in a report in the Journal of
Commerce, January 20, 1880, which
says:
THE volume of business be-
ing received by the steel job
bers in the New York metropo-
Titan district is nothing to be-
come boastful about. The ag-
gregate of sales is poorer than
was December, and is probably
Iightc. than January of last
year.
For the workers, this means in
creased unemployment. That the
100000 unemployed will be added
to by hundreds of thousands is clear
ly brought out by the facts of the
growing crisis of capitalism, not
only in the United States, but in
all capitalist countries of the word.
Organize for the fight against
unemployment Participate in the
worldwide demonstration for work
or wages on February 26.

At Bremen today, battles between

Strike Against Dismissal From
Factory,

LONDON.--A thousand and two
hundred workers in the London fac
tory of Crosse and Blackwell have
gone on strike against the speed-up
system and against dismissals of
workers from their jobs. The
strikers are mostly organized in the
Transport and General Workers
Union, the bureaucratic officials Of
which are trying to drive the work
ers back without gaining any of
their demands. The London district
committee of the Communist Party
is working to secure the election OF
a strike committee from the strikers
themselves rather than one of bur-
eaucratic officials of the union, ami
to carry on the fight against the
union officials if necessary.

BERLIN, Jan. 31.-Police attacks
against the workers of Hamburg
yesterday united the employed with
the unemployed in fierce battles Of
resistance to police attack. Severe
collisions took place when police at
tackled groups of workers every
where on the pretense that they were
violating the prohibition against

who were waiting at the govern
ment labor bureaus to register,
were attacked. Also construction
workers who were at. work on build
ings. Other construction workers
went to their support and a stiff
fight followed, with the police using
their firearms. The construction
workers are now striking against

ing injured During the fight the
workers built barricade to stem
the police attack.
Socialists Vote Against Unemployed
In the Jan. session of the Ber-
lin city council, the Communist
council members proposed numerous
motions to help the unemployed
among others the abolition of what
is known as waiting time" which
makes the jobless wait long time
before they are entitled to relief
The Socialists voted against all
proposals, and the only one adopted
was one carried by the Communists
together with some of the bourgeois
votes, for to free the unemployed OF
the so-called "rent tax" This tax
is percentage added to the rent,
allegedly to build new houses for
workers, but which under the city

point.
garments nat o person could wish were

inclined to feel the clothes that she

one above them.
know Of one man who, during the
time when he was forging his way
ahead to success counted in millions
afterwardD, was obliged to wear shoes
with Soles worn through. He was 80
absolutely sure that he had something
worth while to offer the people whom
he saw that he talked in terms of high
finance. He convinced his hearers, and
they were some of New Yorks mag
mates, hard-headed men, who added to
their prosperity by paying attention to
the mans schemes. He impressed the
idea of success, Of his own powers, un-
til success in monetary way was his.
If he had approached these men in
low-spirited way, he would never have
been crowned with success. He carried
the atmosphere Of success about with
him.
A fine bodily carriage is essential to
conveying successful impression.
Mothers themselves should be well
poised and should teach their children
to stand erect and in their early days
to suggest that they are successful.
Encourage them to talk Of their good
fortunes and to minimize their failures,
to stress the successful efforts and to
"trip lightly over troubles. No one ever
really succeeded by talking poor"
Sometimes persons get work because
of the pity they draw toward them
selves, but since the work is not given
because Of any idea Of its fine quality,
it does not encourage further aid. It
is when q person can inspire confidence
because he knows he can do o thing
we'll and carries conviction in his poise
and attitude that he wins permanently.
Such O person knows his powers and
carries himself so that all who see may
