cuts. The latest report of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics shows
wages were cut nearly 10 per cent
in all manufacturing industries.
Better Winter Ahead.
All facts show this situation will
become worse in the fall and winter.
The fight for the immediate pas
sage by congress of the Workers
Social Insurance Bill is task for
all workers. The bosses want the
workers to starve to death. There
are no jobs, and there will be less
in the future months. Immediate
relief is necessary for the 100000
unemployed and their families.
This relief will come only through
an organized fight, under the lead
ership of the Trade Union Unity
League and the Unemployed Coun-
ellis.
The first big step in this fight
is the mass demonstrations being
organized in all leading industrial
centers for September 1st, Labor
Day." On this day the takers in
the A. F. of L. usually boast about
the great prosperity" of the Amer
lean workers. The T.U.U.L. calls
on all workers to participate in the
demonstrations on this day in mass
protest against unemployment and
starvation and for the demand of
social insurance for all workers.
For this purpose the T.U.U.L. has
designated September 1st as "Un-
employment Day." The demonstra-
tions for the Bill are being organ
lied in all shops and factories. All
workers must get behind this Bill
to force immediate relief for the
starving unemployed.
AS the fight for the Workers So
cial Insurance Bill reaches wider
masses of workers, the bosses,
through their tools, the A. F. of L.
and Socialists" in order to stem
the tide, begin to back fake meas
ures for unemployment relief"
Fake Schemes AflOat.
In Detroit, the labor takers and
socialists" are carrying on a fran
tic campaign to head off the strug-
gle for 100000 signatures for the
Workers Social Insurance Bill ref
erendum. In Boston, the mayor in
vites the labor misleaders to "talk
about unemployment relief" In
New York the capitalist press
praises Norman Thomas, leading
social-fascist and his campaign for
fake Unemployment insurance" In
all cities, the bosses line up with
the Socialists" and A. F. of L.
against the Communist demand for
real social insurance.
The bosses know that the Work
ers' Social Insurance Bill provides
adequate relief by demanding all
war funds go to the unemployed;
and that this Bill makes a heavy
levy on fortunes and big incomes.
Hence they begin to look to the So
cialist measures" to save them.
These fake schemes, approved by
the A. F. of L. petty-bourgeois by
attempting to throw the burdens for
their fake insurance schemes on the
backs of the workers. They want
the workers to pay through levies
on their already sharply cut wages.
In France, over 100000 workers are
striking against such a scheme be-
cause it only offers "relief" to the
bosses and not the unemployed.
The Workers Social Insurance
Bill demands that the war funds
so to the unemployed; that the
$300,000,000 given back to Mellon
and Rockefeller's corporations as
"tax returns" be taken back for the
unemployed. That heavy levy be
placed on fortunes over $4,000 and
graduated income tax on incomes
of $4,000 and over to provide
minimum of $25 week for the un-
employed-all unemployed, the aged,
sick, injured, and those out of work.
