Soviet Union Ending
Unemployment; Gives
Full Insurance Also

NEW Notwithstanding at a
conference of the Peoples Lobby at
tile Civic Club Monday afternoon,
Robert DUN, secretary of the Ia
bor Research Association, attacked
the unemployment relief schemes
proposed by the republican, social
list and democratic parties and
pointed out that unemployment in
creases in every capitalist country
but is decreasing in the Soviet
Union. In the U. S. S. R. the num-
Der of jobless registered Oct. /,
1850, is $4,000, and there is little
doube these will be eliminated by
the end of the third year of the
Five Year Plan.
The reason fer the great drop in
unemployment in the last year is
the tremendous development of in
dustry under the Five Year Plan.
The development of large-scale
farming has also helped to reduce
unemployment by cutting immigra-
ton to the cities.
There is now an absolute dearth
Of skilled labor in the Soviet Union.
A few days ago Kalinin, chairman
Of the Central Executive Committee
of the Soviet Union, reported that:
"There is shortage of labor power
in all branches of industry. Cur
labor exchanges are practically
empty.
Workers who remain unemployed
for the present and those who may
be out of work for certain periods
in the future have to protect them
the most complete system of social
insurance in the world. This insur-
ance embraces all workers and
covers in addition to unemployment
not only temporary disability, be-
cause of sickness or accidents, but
also old age pensions, medical as
sistance, rest homes and sanitarium
care. and special assistance to
mothers.
The payment for unemployment
has been steadily rising. 1t is based
on the wages ard qualification of
the worker, former wages and the
cost Of living in his locality. There
are three categories. The benefits
are paid fer the full period of en-
ploymert up to Is months.
The social insurance funds come
in monthly payments from all the
state enterprises, factories and of
fees as well as all private business
in other words from all employ
ers of labor. The average sum paid
is 1917 per cent of the monthly pay
roll, in addition to free medical
service, practically free housing and
other benefits.

STEEL BOSSES SPEED UP
WAR PREPARATIONS

CLEVELAND, Oct. 8.-The Cor
rigan-McKinne steel bosses in this
city are one step ahead of "Uncle
Sam" in preparing for the next war.
A picture of each worker is being
filed with his application, giving de-
tails about his age, whether or not
he is married, the size of his family,
the amount of his insurance if he
has any, the names of the lodges and
organizations he belongs to, etc. In
this way the bosses are checking up
on each man to see where he stands.
Not only are these tactics being used
to intimidate the workers, but they
will come in mighty handy when the
next war breaks.
Of the $500 workers who worked
in the Corrigian Mckinney plant in
this city in 1928, between 100 and
200 only are left in the sohp. And
over half of this number are work.

held an opan air meeting at 36th
St. and 9th Ave-, which was one
OF a series of open air meetings
dealing with the Anti-Injunction

crowd Of workers that 2 meetings
were formed. Not only did the
speakers address the toilers in the
street but also those that jammed
the windows Of the buildings in the
heart of the needle trades section.
The speakers called for a united
front and denounced the officials of

DETROIT, Oct. 9.-Graft and
corruption, inspiring to robbery,
participation in kidnapping plots, as
well as beating down workers is the
job of the Detroit police department.
These heroes in uniform who jail
every day workers are part and
parcel of the Detroit underworld,
which was lately exposed by diff
ferent witnesses, who are engaged
in all kinds of rackets.
The graft and corruption went so
far that the Detroit bosses in order
not to expose too much their police
and courts had to appoint an inves-
tigation grand jury in order to
squash all these charges, which
have been made lately by the Det-
roit underworld. The proceedings of
the grand jury are as usual secret.
Despite the closed doors, we are
able from time to time to get
crumbs of information of the testi-
monies of the witnesses about the
role of the Detroit police.
One of the members of a kidnap-
ers gang, who is already sentenced
has nothing to lose when called on
the witness satnd before the grand
jury in speaking of the Honesty of
Murphy's police" openly stated:
"When l walked the street a GER

to jail whether he had anything on

was broken last night by the city
police. About $50 Lithuanian work
ers, most of them miners, had come
to the hall at 1926 E. Market St., to
hear Communist speaker explain
the issues in the present election
campaign.
The coal operators are deter
mined to use every method at their
disposal to crush any attempt on
the part of the anthracite miners to
organize for the struggle against
the rotten conditions in the mines

The Anthracite Section of the
Communist Party has announced a
huge Election Rally to be held at
the Polish Hall, 325 E, Market St.,
Wilkes-Barre, on Wednesday,, Oct.

The Communist Party points out
the role of the Socialist" party at
this time. At teh same time that
the police stopped the meeting where
a Communist speaker was scheduled,
few blocks away in the Socialist"
hall James Maurer of Reading, scab
agent, par excellence, the Social

permitted to spout his poison in or

Tariff Gouge
Benefits Big Bosses

SdlOOliJ W.
Editor, Daily Worker:
When the high tariff grafters
start campaign to raise the tariff
they hand labor the bunk that they
wish to maintain the American
standard of wages and living but
there is nothing in their tariff bills
to insure that labor will get "Amer-
lean" wages and standards of living.
The wages they shall pay is al
ways left for the employers to decide
and they work their prices up as
high as the tariff goes and then
they hire their labor just as cheap
as they can. Labor is always the
loser when the tariff is raised. They
pay more for what they buy and
nine times out of ten they get a
wage cut. The tariff was raised
twice in the last ten years, but how
much have wages gone up in the
last ten years?
