FURTHER FOOLISHNESS OF.
GOV. ROOSEVELT.

ALBANY, N. Y. - Glowing
through the period Immediately
preceding a crisis, Gov. Roosevelt
makes one foolish proposal after
another. Thousands are idle" he
said to dairymen here. "If you can
do anything possible to create
job, even temporarily, do it."
The position of the bosses when
the contradictions of capitalism
present themselves is one of baffled
stupidity. They are reduced to
thinking in circles and in order to
strengthen a tottering position re-
sort to police brutality and terror
against the hungry workers within
their boundaries and plumber and
warfare against the trade rivalry
of other countries.

FRAME-UP IN SPAIN.

BILBAO, Spain. - Because the
revolutionary movement in Spain
is gaining ground the bosses
quickly accused Communists when
bombs were exploded here. The
bosses tactics are similar interna-
tionally. The above Indictment
duplicates the "frame-up" situation
which landed Mooney and Billings
behind bars for life. Capitalism,
the real dynamiting agency, is a
machine kept running by the whole
sale destruction of life.

T.U.U.L. Organizing

AKRON, Ohio, July 4, (By MaiD.
Five hundred workers partici-
pated in the Perkins Square meet
ing Friday afternoon in solidarity
with the National Unemployed Con-
vention in Chicago and sent greet
ings and pledged to build militant
unions and unemployed councils
under the banner of the Trade
Union Unity League. Resolutions
were adopted demanding the re-
lease of Foster, Amter, Minor and
Raymond imprisoned for three
years in New York for represent
ing the unemployed in demanding
relief from the city government.
Also for the release of the Atlanta,
Ga, Gastonia and California pris-
oners facing death and long prison
sentences for union activity, also
protesting against the murder of
union organizers in Chicago and
New York by the police, A. F. of L.
gangsters and Garveyites. Much
literature was sold in addition to
the Daily Worker, Labor Unity and
Labor Defender. Three workers
made application to the Communist
Party.
Plants Shut Down.
The Goodyear plant has closed
for nine days for inventory" and
$4,000 have been forced to take va
cations, most all of them without
pay. Goodrich closed their tire and
pit departments for 10 days for
Inventory" and 10000 more are
forced on vacation. Other plants
are running with skeleton forces so
that Akron has now about 10000
in the regular unemployed army
and another $4,000 new recruits.
No plants ever shut down for Sin
ventory" before.
Mergers, Speed-Up, Cuts.
There is again talk of mergers
of rubber plants: Goodrich with
Fiske which will no doubt go
through; Goodyear with SieberIing
and U. S. Rubber, and even includ-
ing Goodrich with this combination;
Falls Rubber with Dayton and
other small plants. This will mean
more unemployment, wage cuts and
speed-up by the closing of ineffi-
cient plants and transferring of de-
partments. Goodrich has trans
ferred their shoe department to
Hood in Massachusetts, where wages
are even lower than in Akron.
T. u. u. L. Work Begun.
The Trade Union Unity League
has begun the work of building the
Rubber Workers Industrial League
and Unemployed Councils for mis-
cellaneous workers. Shop commit
tees have been formed in two plants
and the unemployed rubber work
ers are being orga sed accc~ dino
to the shop where they formerly
worked.

HINDU LABORER
MORE CONTENT
THAN AMERICAN
Scientist Asserts 20 Cents
a Day Pay Satisfies
midas Natives.
BY PAUL H. KING
United Press staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, May 2.-The Hindu
laborer with 20 cents in his pockets
is more content than the American
with millions, S. Kamesan of the
British research, Debra Dun, India,
believes.
1.-THE laborer on 20 cents a day,
perhaps with one meal, gets more
out of life than the American with
two automobiles, ten rooms, three
baths, a country club and a boot
logger who uses real whisky for fla
voring," KameSan said here.
Kamesan, in America to study
methods of wood preservation, said
he believes the unemployment ques-
ton is consequence Of mass pro-
duction by machines.
Praised Shay Week
$50 far unemployment questions
have baffled the best brains of for
eign countries. We have none of it
in India, for our people are sat-
isf1ed with what they have. They
have not learned discomfort"

tonian civilization pressage
crash" he said.
tits possible, however, that the
machine is producing the antidote
for it's own poison; that the ma
chine age may save itself by
humanizing, self-reformation which
is outside its aims" He had praise
for Henry Ford's five-day week.
Kamesan dWelt at length on the
advancement Of midas women in
industry.
Thousands of native women can
hold their own in any debate with
men and already are beginning to
compete with men in various serv-
ices. Yes there is a woman problem
in India, too"
Retain Native Dress
He pointed out that the women
of India are remaining with their
native dress with few exceptions.
Kamesan said he believes:
Henry Ford's ideas on industry
and production seem Indian; occi-
dental life is the zenith of civil
cation born of mechanics-Newton's
laws carried to their logical conclu-
sion. More Americans should visit
India and more Indians should
visit America.
"We are at one extreme and you
at the other. Happiest are those
who have made a compromise be-
tween the satisfaction born of fatal
ism and the perpetual unrest born
of ambition. Many have done SO
both in America and India" Kane
san said.
