Says Discrimination
Against Foreign-Born
Adds toUnemployment

NEW YORK.-That the widespread
discrimination practiced by employers
and government agencies against the
foreign born workers are depriving
these workers of a means to earn a
livelihood and adding to the vast
army Of the unemployed, is admitted
in an article published in the jan
uary issue of the South Atlantic
Quarterly, written by Harold Fields,
executive director of the National
League for American Citizenship, one
of the bosses organizations to inject
patriotic punk into the foreign born.
Discrimination against the foreign
born is practiced not only by private
employers but by local, state and
federal bureaus and departments
Fields declares. Automobile execu-
tives, with the open shop policies, are
particularly vicious in discriminating
against the foreign born.

The boats in which they live are
relics of an earlier era-of an era
when almost any man could get a
job if he was willing to work IA or

these canal boats sank low in the
waters of the Hudson with their car
goes of wheat, ore and lumber Soon
the boats were displaced by the more
efficient railroads. The inevitable
law of capitalist development began
to operate; some of the bargemen
found jobs on the railroads, many
did not, Some of those who didn't
were forced to make their homes in
the boats that had been left to rot
on the Jersey shore.
These, workers had now become
sQuatters, homeless, jobless, impov-

AS capitalism develops the rich get
richer and the poor get poorer. The
crisis which is shaking the foun-
dations of America is not crisis in
the sense that it is an unusual &C.
currence. Crises are as normal to
capitalism as bad smell is to a
skunk, and the only method that ex-
lists of abolishing either the crises or
the smell is the destruction of CAPT.

BANK CRASHES
CONTINUE in us.
20 Reported Friday and
Saturday

NEW YORK.-As the United De-
positors Committee, representing
10000 small depositors in the Bank
of the United States crash prepares
to see Mayor Walker today with the
demands of the depositors for a pub
lie meeting hall and to protest
against police brutality, reports
flock in about other bank failures
throughout the country.

20 bank smashes were reported in
the capitalist press. Among these
were the following:
The Mutual Deposit and Loan As

WAGNER INSURANCE
PLAN TAXES WORKERS

NEW YORK. - Yesterday inter-
views in the press with Senator Wag-
ner on his flock of bills and resolu-
tons in congress attempted to
soothe the jobless with the idea that
something was being done for them.
Wagner's main bill provides for
state unemployment funds to be
made up of contributions by workers
and employers. He argued for the
bills that worker thrown out of
job by economic crisis was in the
same position as one suffering ac-
cident from factory machinery and
had as much right to compensation.
Then, in spite of this, he argued that
if the worker while on the job was
not taxed to make up the insurance
fund, he would be "debaSed by re-
ceiving charity" when he drew his
insurance.
One of Wagner's bills has already
passed; lit provides for collecting
unemployment statistics - from the
bosses, so they will never be too
large. Other bills exempt insurance
funds from taxation, inursance COL
lections from taxation, provide for a
study of insurance systems, provide
for national unemployment agencies,
etc.

RELIEF CAN WIN
n. HAVEN STRIKE
Fin e Militancy But
Girls Are Starving

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 28.-
Faced with the actual starvation of
many of the striking workers and
their families, the Strike Committee
of the workers of the Lesnow Shirt
Co., New Haven, Conn, has made an
urgent appeal to the national office
of the Workers international Relief,
SO E. goth ST., N. Y. c., for relief, in
order that the workers may continue
to fight the miserable wage-cut Of
fered to the workers by Lesnow Shirt
Co. and win the strike.
Help us keep alive" the appeal
stated. 1--WE know that the w. I. r.
can mobilize the workers throughout
the country. Help us and we will
carry the struggle to a successful end
in spite of the bosses, their Chamber
of Commerce, the scabs, police and
the undermining work of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor"
When the company announced a
wage-cut of IS per cent on Decer-
Der Is 400 girl and women shirtmak-
ers walked out in the first strike in
New Haven since the 1922 strike of
the railroad workers. The. young
italian girls and women are putting
up most valiant fight. The wage
cut of Is per cent amounted in some
cases to actually 80 per cent. Az
erage wages had been $11, with many
workers receiving only SO to 81 a
week.
Because of these miserable wages,
and more particularly because the
shop had only been working. two or
three days a week before the strike,
the workers are already in dire need
In many instances the young girls or
mothers employed by the Lesnow
Shirt Co. were the sole support of
families, with as many as ten men,
berS, depending upon them because
the fathers and husbands have been
unemployed for months.
Workers are requested to show
their solidarity with these striking
workers by sending funds immedi-
ately to the National Office, Work
