cut out of which the bosses and
Matthew Vol, as well as many
other leaders of the A. F. of l.. will
make lot of graft.
The Trade Union Unity League
in Baltimore is exposing this scheme
to the workers and calling on them
to continue the fight for the IN
employment insurance Bill of the
Communist Party. They point out
that Matthew Woll, who through
the Civic Federation is calling for
war against the Soviet Union, at
the same time joins in the boss at
tack on unemployment insurance,
using the growing misery of mil
lions of American workers to fill
his own pockets through his hold
up insurance scheme.
The fight for the passage of the
Unemployment Insurance Bill, which
begins on September list, with huge
mass demonstrations throughout the
country, will continue on even
broader scale after "Unemploymen3
Day" The Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill will be spread in millions
of copies throughout the country.
1t will be brought up in shops, mines
ard factories; in workers organi-
zations-everywhere; mobilizing the
workers in a mighty mass move
ment, and through their class force
to demand that the war funds and
part of the big profits of the bosses
be turned over to the unemployed in
the form of unemployment insuT-
ance.
Together with its struggle for I'M
employment insurance, the T.U.U.L.
is modifying both employed and I'M
employed-as the bosses try to pitch
these against one another-to cor
ganize and strike against wage
cuts" Just before Sept. /, an in
tensified wage-cutting drive was
started by the bosses. The leading
Wall Street financial papers are
coming out more openly every day
calling for wage-cuts for all work
ers without exception. Nearly all
basic industries have already cut
wages, some of them several times.
In Detroit the Snyder Tool &,
Engineering Co. laid off its lathe
and milling machine men who we're
getting So cents an hour and re-
hired them at rate which does not
amount to more than So cents an
hour. This is a process which is
widespread. Workers are fired or
laid off. They are rehired at lower
wage rates, or other unemployed
are rehired at the cut wage rates.
The bosses find it expedient to co
this at the present time in view of
the fact that 100000 are unem-
ployed. Hence they lower the stand
ard Of living Of the entire working
class, with the A. F. of L. leader
ship doing its utmost to keep the
workers from fighting back, and
aiding the plan with all their
strength.
Breadlines which were hidden
during the summer are now coming
out again with longer rows of UNI
employed in them than ever be-
fore. Nine bread lines are operat-
ing in Detroit. There are many in
New York and Chicago.
The railroads are sharply reduc-
ing their forces. The New York
Central recently laid off 1000 rail-
road shop men. Four hundred
workers in the Chicago & North
western railroad shops and round
houses are to be laid off Sept. 2
indefinitely. Many workers will
find after Sept. / that the jobs
which they thought they had, have
disappeared.
The fight for the Unemployment
Insurance Bill must be broadened.
Millions of workers must be brought
into the struggle against the bosses
and their rotten system which is re-
sponsible for unemployment and
wage-cuts for the workers. On with
the fight for the Unemployment In
surance Bill. Bald a gigantic
movement to force the bosses to
give the unemployed unemployment
insurance. Vote Communist.
