AID
PLANS
FOR DICTATORSHIP
Do Not Oppose Rushing
Through Boss Policy

BERLIN.-Further discussions took
place between Prime Minister Bruen-
ing and the leaders of the various
parties. 1t is very probable that the
whole program Of the government will
be announced under article AZ (pro-
viding for a dictatorship before the
Reichstag meets,
The social democratic "Vorwaerts"
writes approvingly:
"At least, it will not be possible to
reproach Herr Bruening for not hav-
ing tried his best to carry out his
program by parliamentary means"
1t appeals to Bruening to try again
with parliament and writes further:
Should the proceedings before the
Reichstag show that it is impossible
to find majority, then there would
still be time to use article 48,
The social democracy is thus not
opposed to the use Of article 48. All
it wants is that Bruening does his
best to cover up his actions with a
parliamentary cloak. 1t writes fur
| Their:
"At the moment, the social democ-
racy is not in position to say what
it would do if it were faced with an
accomplished fact. The finance laws
contain much, particularly after the
alterations have been made, with
which we are in complete agree
ment."
This attitude Of the social democ-
racy gives Bruening a free hand with
the old argument of "the lesser evil.
In conclusion the ''Vorwaerts" writes
For us the question is: shall we
refrain from exercising our right to
vote against the confirmation of the
emergencies, or shall we overthrow
the Bruening Cabinet and open up
the path to power for the National
Faseists."
In other words, the social demo-
Gratis intend to support the Bruen-
ing government to the bitter end as
the lesser evil"

WEEKS Pc. RUSH
Is CALLED RELIEF
Rally to Fight for Job
less Relief
by a Worker Correspondent)

tBy Worker Correspondent
Brooklyn, N. Y.
During the past few months the
bosses newspapers have carried story
after story about how the Post Office
was going to relieve unemployment
by hiring extra Christmas help. In
order to make the offer appear more
charitable it was announced that
only heads of families and exservice-
men would be taken on
happen to be one of those who is
going to be relieved by the U. S, gov
ernment. About a year ago took
a Civil Service exam for the job in
the Post ONCE, I supplied the gov
eminent with a complete life history
of myself which was certified to by
a notary public. My character had
to be certified to by friends and ex-
employers and my fingerprints were
taken. A year passed before 1 re-
ceiyed any news from the Post Of
flee. Last month received an Of
fer to work during the Christmas
rush. 1 accepted and had to send
them another recommendation from
responsible member of the COM
munity.'
Two weeks ago I was sent for along
with two hundred others. Most of
those in line were not married men
or ex-servicemen. We all had to go
through the bureaucratic machine
once more. This included the sign
ing of three sheets of paper which
contained oaths and promises: mo
body had any time to read what he
was signing because of the speed
with which the machine worked the
paying of 80 cents for a supposed
bond which no one saw; and a glori-
ous and consisting of a spoken oath
to uphold the constitution Of the
United States. We were handed a
card and shunted out of the door.
Then I caught my breath and looked
at the card. I was to report Dec.
10Th in old clothes prepared for very
hard work.
So fellow workers, figure out how
many days work I'll have before the
Christmas rush is over. A weeks
work is considered Unemployment re-
lief by the bosses government. 1t is
about time we started relieving the
bosses of some of the coin we've
made for than, in the form Of ulem-
ployment insurance.

MUST BE WIDOW

fifteen months. We have four chill

Can't Get Job
I asked her whether she was look
ing for work and she answered this:
There isn't factory that haven't
been in asking for work. 1 am just
coming from a place which is down
on the east side on Henry Street.
They manufacture silk underwear for
the rich there. The bosses of this
place hire widows only. Being in
such bad circumstances, said that
1 was a widow although deep in my
heart / wished that it shouldn't be
true" after I had told the foreman
that 1 was looking for job and was
a widow, he told me to wait in an
unheated room and went back to his
office. I waited fully two hours and
was almost frozen but kept my cour-
age up and hoped that I would get
the job Then he returned and
handed me slip of paper containing
these questions: How long are you
a widow? What caused your hus-
bands death? On what cemetary is
he buried? Who was the undertaken
that performed the burial? 1 an
swered all these questions and few
more that I don't remember and
signed my name.
after having answered all these
stupid questions / was told that they
would investigate my case. If what
they told me is true, will get three
days work week at $500 day.

real estate interests" were none
other than a number of the Bank

as, Irwin S. Chanin, A. Milton,

Rosenblatt and scores of others.
Broderick is not working to
/" straighten out" the banks condi-
tons, but his entire force is rupturing
themselves hiding the traces of how
the money disappeared into the hands
of Tanimany grafters. The 100000
depositors, over 100000 of whom are
workers and unemployed workers,
when they feel the pinch of hunger
will know at last that some fat Tam
many CRATER is having good time
on the deposits which they put into
the bank and not a cent of which
has been returned to date.
This is just bare scratch on the
surface OF this rotten mess, One
thing is plain. Millions of dollars
have disappeared. The depositors
are not getting their money. The
worker-d epositors must organize or
they will suffer at the expense Of the
Board Of Directors, their Tamniany
supporters and the richer depositors.
The rich depositors are organized for
their interest. They will let the
small depositors go hang. They know
there is a limited sum in the bank
and they want it first! The Daily
Worker has called upon the small
depositors to organize. The demand
must be immediate repayment in

Is SPECTATORS
IN FOOD JAILED
IN SOVIET UNION
Tried to Swindle Co.
operatives

MOSCOW G. P. U. has dis
covered an organization of "a per-
sons who have been buying up prod
ucts of which there was already
chortage in the markets.
This set of spectators was headed
by the owner of a cafe, named
Privalow, and by dealer named
Runkov, These SPECTATORS en-
ployed verious methods. They began
to buy up large quantities of goods
without possessing the necessary cer-
tificates. Besides this they bought
supplies certificates and were thereby
successful in obtaining double guam
titles of goods. When taking over
the goods, and during transit. they
presented forged delivery notes TO
kindergartens and children's homes,
for which the goods were allegedly
intended.
During transit the spectators made
use of wood shavings and waste ma
terial, behind which they hid sacks
of flour. Sugar for instance, was
concealed in maccaroni boxes. But
ter was conveyed in baskets, covered
over with beer bottles. The specu-
lators contrived to establish contact
with the controllers of the co-opera-
tive society shops. At the same time
they served as intermediates be-
tween the spectators and the CO.
operatives.
According to the statement of Ba-
rinov, one of the accused, he sue
ceeded in sWindling the cooperative
society shops of sugar, cwt of bread,
11cwt of butter and 10 cwt of herings.
Another contrived to obtain 81
tons Of best-quality flour, so ewt of
sugar and SO cwt of butter.
Others played the part of sellers
of these goods. The whole group
has admitted that its aim was to
disrupt the co-operatives from within,
in the interests of private profiteer-
ing. The affair is in the hands of
the Moscow courts of justice.

Back Bay, in Boston, couldn't help
remembering some of the remarks

One Irish woman, haggard as hell,
her torn dress kept together by an
immense safety pin and her whole
appearance showing, in addition to
poverty, that there was "nothin'

exposures in the police department
and in the city magistrates court,
was the attorney for the Bank of the
United States and knew of the con-
dition of the bank for long time.
Not one move of this bank was taken
without the leading Tammany graft
ers in New York City taking part in
it,
Besides the Tammany politicians,
there were a whole raft OF real es-
tate sharks, among whom is A. E.
Lefcourt. Lefcourt is now involved
in a series of real estate frauds. He
was, together with AL Smith, a di-
rector of the Consolidated Indem-
nifty & Insurance Co.
The bank loaned hundreds of mil
lions of dollars to the real estate
sharks who are on the board OF di-
rectors, and who were coming money
at the expense of the small de-
positors.
At a meeting of the bigger bank
depositors, held Wednesday night at
Hopkinson's Mansion, Max Steuer
New York Attorney charged that
$1l2,OoO,000 of the banks money dis
appeared between September "a and
December 20. This attorny, however
kept his mouth shut about where the
money disappeared to. An exmina-
ton of the business dealings OF the
Tammany Board of Directors OF the
Bank will quickly show where the
money went to.
B. C. Forbes, financial editor OF
the New York American, on Dec. 10
asked Broderick, state bank examiner
this question:
"Who was-who were-responslpie
