dividual as well as the collective
share of the working class in indus
try becoming less and less.
The reason, Comrade Barnett
makes it clear, is in the speed-up-
the technique Of driving workers to
the limit of their endurance and
forcing one man to do the work of
many with no increase in pay or
shortening Of hours. Capitalist
apologists attempt to disguise the
speed-up under the names of "effi-
cheney" or naturalization" But
Speeding Up the Workers reveals
that there has been little technolo-
gical advance during the past dec
ade. Increased production is being
taken out of the nerves and muscles
of workers who are then thrown on
the scrap heap or left to stand at the
factory gates as threat to their al
most exhausted fellow workers in
side. ..
Every worker, unemployed or stir
employed, should read Speeding Up

HATHAWAY TO SPEAK ON
"DISARMING FOR WAR"

NEW YORK.-Five hundred work
ers filled Irving Plaza on. Sunday
Nov. 80, to hear Max Bedacht speak
or the Crisis of Capitalism"
The workers started to come as
early as $50, so that by 8 o'clock
the hall was quite crowded. The
workers kept coming until $50.
They listened attentively to the lee
ture. That was quite evident by the
number of varied questions asked.
On Sunday, Dec. 7, c "A. Hathaway,
editor of the Daily Worker, will speak
on "Disarming for War"
; This subject should interest all the
workers to come and hear why the
capitalist countries are talking
peace and arming for war.

ploying about 300 workers here an
nounced on Nov. rs a wage cut for
weayers of about 20 per cent to be-
come operative today.
This wage vut was first proposed
six weeks ago but owing to the mill
fancy of the workers the bosses took
the advice of the United Textile
Workers officials and deferred action.
Since that date victimization has been
the order of the day and the bosses
now consider the way clear for wage
cutting.
AT the same time police of Fall

Workers Greet Two Fighters Just Out of Jail
at Banquet Tonight; Mass Mobilization
at Central Opera House Tomorrow

NEW YORK.-Two preliminary
mass gatherings to the next mass
violation of the injunction will be
held here. One is the great mass
meeting to mobilize to Smash the

Union Unity Council and the Inter

tant workers of New York and all
jobless are urged to gather at Cen
trail Opera House, 9th st. and Third
Ave, tomorrow night as mobiliza-
ton for mass picketing in defiance
of the strike breaking injunctions.
The other preliminary gathering of
these who are determined to win
back the right to strike and to picket
is the banquet to greet Harry Cor
nelius and Steve Stevenson, just re-
leased from serving a year and
half in prison for violating an in
junction in the cafeteria strike The
banquet will be held at Manhattan
Lyceum at 7:30 p. m. tonight, The
two workers are enthusiastic about
the present fight, and show in their
unterrified speeches and their deter

brighten them away from the class
struggle. They urge all fellow work.

SPEED UP PAMPHLET REVEALS
CAUSES OF UNEMPLOYMENT

NEW YORK.--Ten million unem-
ployed workers standing in bread
lines and sleeping in the open or in
vermin-infested charity" beds are
asking just what effect the return Of
prosperity" - confidently promised
by the capitalist press at any time
within the next few years-will have
on them. The question is clearly
and graphically answered in the
pamphlet Speeding Up the Work
ers," by James Barnett, Just issued
by International Pamphlets. Here it
is made plain that, so far as the
worker is concerned, good" timex
are hard times, and bad" times are
merely worse times. Since the end
OF the latest imperialist war the
number Of workers employed in in
dustry has steadily decreased. Dur
ing the period Of capitalist prosper
ity" which preceded the present crisis
2.5 to 4 million workers were per-
manently unemployed, with the num-
Der constantly growing and the in

But they are to keep right ON owing

wise masters like HITLER and Mus
solini or perhaps Blanchard, will tell
them how, SO they don't wreak things
through too much individualism.
That's fascism, not social fascism, but
plain fascism.
A Sermon 200
Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick prints
part of sermon appealing to big
business men in his Riverside church,
asking them to please do something.
Barry w. Ladder says there must
be at least 100000 jobless, when even
the director of the census admits there
are about 100000.
Oscar Ameringer, editor of the
American formerly illinois, Miner,
organ OF the "Reorganized United
Mine Workers" the pet union of the
Peabody Coal Co., has an article. He
wakes jovial over the fact that Grip
pied apple seller sells better than a
whole apple seller. Oscar can afford
some humor, he used to get $4,000
year for printing the Illinois Miner.
no one knows what he gets now, he
owns large part of printing plant
and lots of real estate.
An editorial in the back is entitled
Push Public Works" and is nothing
but an argument for the Hoover build
ing program, which is already a flop.
The preacher who writes the very
last article in the magazine, fellow
named Lathrop, makes to the jobless
the one single suggestion of struggle
in the whole thirty ne pages. He
says. the jobless might organize tt
force the government to grant un.
employment insurance The last pa
ragraph of his article however, seems
to indicate that all he means is that
they should join the socialist party Oh
some Labor Party to be sprung or
them by Normie and Blanchard.
Against this misleadership the job
less are beginning to mobilize in the
Councils of the Unemployed, to de.
monstrate for Immediate relief, t.
militantly resist evictions, and to unite
with workers on the jobs to secure
shorter hours, more pay and fight
speed-up.

MUSTE FAKERS OFFER PROGRAM OF
EXTREME INACTTON FOR THE JOBLESS

The League For Industrial Democ-
racy (Musteite CONTROL publishes a
magazine called 1.-THE Unemployed !"
1t has in its first issue a serious of
articles from various shining lights
of the exalted professions: three
preachers, professor or two, an editor
for the Peabody Coal Co., and Hey
wood Broun.
Brouns articles leads. 1t tells of
the ''floater'', who wouldn't work that
Broun found on a breadline once. The
point of the whole article is that if
breadlines go on, the worker will begin
to like them and no worker will work.
Il think it would be a swell stunt to
come along and save them before they
take the dive Unto the breadline)
Smart for you and me, mean. After
all, breadlines make breadliners". That
is what Broun is worrying about.
Norman Thomas is next with pure
social fascism. He analyses very cor
rectly the couses of unemployment.
That's the radical phraseology. He
says nothing about direct struggle of
the jobless for insurance nor of the
workers against the things that in
crease unemployment. He just tells
them the only way out is to vote for
his gang. And that's the fascist part.
Real Fascism
But if the Rev. Thomas is a social
fascist, he is followed immediately by
a proposal for straight fascism. 1t
is signed by Paul Blanchard. 1t is
for no overthrow of capitalism, but
just for state planning board which
would guarantee profits and a minim-
UNI subsistence for the workers by re-
gulation of industry.
This regulation is called complete
reconstruction of our social system
and its form and methods can be seen
in couple of quotations from the
article:
Under such board no man would
be allowed to build shoe factory
when there were too many shoe fac
tories already. No man would be per.
nlitted to gamble with the jobs Of
thousands of workers unless he de.
monstrated his ability to keep his fac
tory running"
1T may be objected that in such
world there would be less freedom
for those who own and manipulate

AFL LAUNDRY RACKET
MEANS LOWEST WAGES

NEW YORK-Drivers' Local 81
of the A. F. of L. has gone in the
laundry business. The officials Of
the local have signed an agreement
with the Nonpareil Laundry, $40 E
10th ST., and promised the boss that
they will get him more business. The
officials received the membership
lists of other A. F.. of L. unions, such
as the Bakers, BARRIERS, etc, and
turned these over to the, boss. All
we're sent mail urging them to give
their laundry to the only union
shop" in the Bronx.
Canvassers visit these workers tell
ing them that this is a union shop.
AS a matter of fact not even all the
drivers belong to the union, but the
drivers are only one-fifth of the
workers in the Laundry. There are
about so workers there, mostly Negro
women workers who get from s12 to
S14 week. This the A. F. L. calls
a union shop. This is the method of
organizing the A. F. L. uses.
T,.ey promise the boss more busi-
ness for an agreement which leaves
out four-fifth of the workers and
which promises the boss mot to help
or to influence the organization Of
the inside workers"
All workers should be warned
against the laundry racket of the A.
F. l.. and the bosses. The only or
ganization which organizes all the
workers into one union regardless of
craft or race is the Laundry Work

the Trade Union Unity Council and
William z. Foster, general secretary
of the Trade Union Unity League.
The enlarged national committee
of the T. U. U. L., in its final session
Saturday, adopted a resolution for
continued fight against the injunc-
ton, after which Foster made the
following statement:
THE struggle against the injunc-
ton weapon used by the bosses, by
the reactionary officials of the A. F.
of L. and of the socialist party, is
one of the major struggles before
the American working class, involv-
ing. as it does, the fundamental right
of workers to organize into militant
fighting industrial unions and to
wrest from the employers by the
weapons of strike and picket line
better conditions.
THE struggle to smash the in
junction at zelgreen Cafeteria is a
strike of the workers to smash the
12-hour day put into effect by the
A. F. of L. and the employers through
the use of injunctions, gangsters, po-
lice and courts. The only method OF
smashing injunctions is to mobilize
large masses of workers on the picket
line to defy the orders of the court
and to violate the injunction en-
masse.
Whether the struggle confronts
the food. shoe, needle or miners
union, it becomes the struggle Of the
whole working class.

Smash the Injunction Committee OF
the Trade Union Unity Council on
Wednesday, Dec. 3, in Central Opera
House must rally thousands of work.

the solidarity of the workers in the
fight to smash the injunctions.
