BOSSES SLASH
WORKERS WAGES
Exploiters, A. F. of L.
Unite Against Toilers

In all industries the bosses are
using the excuse of the vast unem-
ployed army to cut wages. Hun
dreds of steep wage slashes have
been reported to the Daily Worker.
Undoubtedly there are thousands of
such instances.
1t is of the utmost Importance
that the employed workers join their
class brothers out of work in the
world demonstration for "Work or
Wages" today. Do not let the
bosses play the employed against
the unemployed in their wage slash
ing campaign.
Scarcely had the bosses made
their lying hypocritical statement
four months ago about not cutting
wages; scarcely had the well-fed,
well-paid misleaders of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor agreed to
attempt to prevent the workers in
the A. F. Of l.. from demanding
wage increases, than the slashing of
wages began.
Four months ago Hoover an
nounced that "the president has
been authorized by the employers
who attended this mornings confer
ence lin a desperate effort to stem
the advancing crisis.-Ed.), to de-
clare upon their individual respon-
sibility that they will take no steps
to reduce wages and decidedly

Hangs Self on
HOOvey,s Sign
OF Prosperity

A worker dressed in blue overalls,
clearly unemployed, broke and starv-
ing, was found hanging dead across
the face of a big signboard at Lin
den Bolevard and 5Sth St., Brooklyn,
yesterday, the signboard bearing
one of the innumerable lying slogans
put out by Hoover throughout Amer
lea on signboards: Lets get to
work! Prosperity"
The poor jobless worker, about 40
years old, unidentified by anything
on his body, had evidently gotten a
clothesline rope somewhere, climbed
to the top of the signboard, fastened
the rope to a bracing timber and to
his neck, and thrown himself over
the front across the prosperity"
sign of Hoover as mute protest at
capitalist starvation.

TESTIMONY OF
ADMIRAL GETS
HEAVY POUNDING

WASHINGTON, May %. U.P)-
Testimony of members of the navy
general board, favoring Camp Kear-
ry, Calf, the site for the new naval
dirigible base. was discounted by
Chairman Britten of the house naval
al fairs committee as not being
founded on practical knowledge.
In questioning Read Admiral Will
lian A. Moffett, chief of the navy
burcau of aeronautics, Britten
brought ont that none of the board
members Lad ever ridden in a dirigi-
BILE and none had ever visited the
present dirigible base at Lakehurst,
n. j.
With this information as his
foundation, Rritten then attacked
the testimony of board members.
The theory previously stressed was
that Camp Kearny was approximate
ly 400 miles nearer the center of
the west coast war time defense
area than Sunnyvale, in San Fran
cisco area. Britten branded this as
Exceedingly flimsy.'
Board members had advanced this
point by outlining an imaginary tri-
agnle with Puget Sound, the Canal
Zone and Hawaii as its apexes as the
area in which defense activities
probably would center in time of
war. Britten declared similar trian-
giles could be drawn most logically
by extending the northern apex into
Alaska to place the strategic center
a. almost any given point on the Pa
cific coast.
