The Food Workers Industrial

TWO PER CENT
FALL IN JOBS
DURING APRIL
N. Y. State Officially
Admits Collapse of
the Slave Market
Conceal Census Figure
Tour Starts Soon to Or
ganize Jobless

A further two per cent drop in
employment for the month of April,
and a ten per cent drop in New
York State since the spectacular
October stock exchange crash forced
the decline of industry on the at
tention of the whole world are the
latest figures, released by the New
York State Industrial Commissioner.
Since the very first days of the
national census taking, which show
ed unexpectedly large numbers Of
jobless, all mention of the unemploy-
ment figures has vanished from the
capitalist press. None of the fig
urcs are being given out, though all
sorts Of other information connected
with the census is showered on the
world.
Conceal Hunger.
The only explanation is that the
facts show such huge numbers OF
;obless and hungry workers that the
Government feels it part of it's duty
TO its capitalist owners to conceal
them. Figures officially proving s.
100000 or more jobless would make
Hoover's periodic Pollyanna proc.
lamations look sick.
The New York industrial COM
missioner's statement points out that
a reduction from March to April Is
the usual thing, marking the end Of
one phase of the usual spring rush.
However, Francis Perkins, the COM
missioner, also points out that this
year "the expected Spring improve
ment did not take place." and the
two per cent reduction is dead loss,
falling below an employment rate
already far lower than usual.

prosperity talk and building a solid

ment convention July in Chicago,

ellis of the Unemployed is preparing

Philadelphia, May Is and 16, and

land, Toledo, and points west.

mated Clothing Workers. But the
Amalgamated officials let wage cut

use his open shop in New Jersey to
club down wages here, let him work
all kinds of tricks to cut wages by
layoffs, and argument that wages
must go down or the shop will close,
etc., without making any effort to
organize the New Jersey plant or

Workers are beginning to see that
there must be some underhanded

Killer Ramsay

At the very moment when Pre-
mier j. Ramsay Macdonald Of Eng
land is having his Anglo-Indian gov
eminent fire volleys into masses of
demonstrating Indian workers, and
is moving all forces to effect sell
out of the British wooden strike, the
American socialist party comes out
hailing him both as an agent of
Empire and as a brother socialist.
The New York state committee
of the socialist party, over the sig
nature of Herbert M. Merrill, it's
state secretary, sent out on May
Day what it was pleased to call lin
villification of the Workers Inter-
national Day of STRUGGLED May

water has flowed under all the
bridges of the world since Karl
Marx and his associates organized

at the head of the widest-spread
empire that the world has ever seen.
1t finds socialists at the head of
the political administrations of

There is here besides the refer

superiors in Germany, who muir
