WAGE CUT AT

Western Electric Also
Fosters Race Hate

KEARNEY, N. j., Aug. 3.-As
al example of capitalist "generos-
ity" toward the worker, the Western
Electric works here, have cut the
working week hours, at the same
time deducting 10 hours pay per
week and firing several thousand.
The recent huge lay-off of Kear-
ney electric workers, advertised by
the capitalist press as two-week
vacation" for the workers to cut
down capitalist over-production, has
resulted in the addition of almost
5000 workers to the ranks of the
unemployed. Most of these come
from the shop.
In it's fake workers organizations,
corporation-run, the Western Elec-
trio boosted of the number of
workers employed, but there has
been a complete silence on the mat
ter lately.
Prejudice against race and re-
ligion is actively practised. No
Negroes or Jews are employed.

WASHINGTON WAS

Supported sly stem
Owned Slaves

George Washington, whom count
less Negro children in the public
schools of the United States are
taught to revere as "the father Of
his country" was a slave owner
owning 317 slaves Gin his own right
and by marriage" according to
document in his own handwriting
and now in the possession of Judge
Armstrong, of Providence.
Washington was also a stickler
for the servile relations between
employer and wage-earner domestic.
In a letter to a friend who had
recommended a white woman as
housekeeper at Mount Vernon,
Washington laid down the line that
she would not be permitted to eat
at the table with the family as "this
once admitted no line satisfactory
to either party could perhaps be
drawn hereafter"
Workers, and especially Negro
workers, should teach their children
to remember that George Washing
ton, the father of the American
bourgeois state, was vicious enemy
of the workers and of the enslaved
Negroes.

Comedy Ladies All"
at the MOyOscO Theatre

This week the 1930-31 Broadway
theatrical season was officially
ushered in by the opening of
Ladies ALL" which the Shuberts
presented at the Morosco Theatre,
with Walter Woolf and Violet Hem
ing as co-stars. Elmer Harris made
the American version of this new
French comedy by Prince Bibesco.
Briefly, the plot concerns three
women who are exposed to the fas-
cinating wiles of a philandering
male. AT Nancy's barn studio near
Westport arrives Ann, who en-
bodies the modern restless woman
with a husband who is not provid-
ing thrills. Nancy herself has been
through the matrimonial mill sew
eral times and has reached a state
of sophisticated wariness. The
third woman is Julie, the French
mail. Into this menage via a con-
venient motor accident is precipitat-
ed Bob, who Immediately starts to
exercise his wiles on all three
women.
In the original French played by
cast expert in typical Gallo ban
ter of this sort, the comedy may
have registered much better than
it did in English. In the vernacu-
lar, the dialogue is forced at times
and altogether too talkily repeti-
tious. One act of sex banter may
be amusing, two begins to pail and
three becomes tiresome.
Ladies ALP is not without its
laughs and should provide a summer
evenings entertainment for those
visitors who have not witnessed
such an offering as "Strictly Dis
honorable" which handles a matter
in general Of the same sort in a
much more expert way.

musical comedy, has not succeeded

Crisis, Unemployment
Grow Worse

With reports flocking in on the
state of business at the beginning
of August, proof is piling up on
the worsening of the crisis and the
increase of unemployment. All
basic industries sharply curtailed
production during July and threw
hundreds of thousands of additional
workers on the streets to starve.
Building contracts during July,
supposed to be the best month of
the year, showed drop of 40
per cent below July, 1929. This
is the fruit of the Hoover-Green
policy of a building boom" to
solve the crisis. This industry is

Automobile production has reached
the lowest levels in the recent his

plants were completely 9 h u t.
Though some of them start on Au-

ducec forces, as overproduction is
not beginning to be eliminated.
