Comrade Editor Daily Worker:

Ten dollars is the scale for car

they will offer their services for
half that if the employer will lie

Railroad Lay-offs.
The railroads have laid off lots
of men in all department.
The A. G. M. Smelter has laid off
nearly half the number of men that
were working a year ago.
In every case and in all depart
ments they can get along without
a man he is laid off while in many
cases those left on the job have to
do the work of the man laid off as
we'll as his own.
In the wire mill the bonus sys-
tenn was installed and the system
soon eliminated more of the workers
ana those remaining hal their rat
ing cut about ten per cent about
month ago. All day workers who a
year ago were getting about $5.25

week are now getting S4.25 and

words they have had cut of pay of

Japan.
The foreign trade of Japan has
reached the lowest point in ten
years. The total unfavorable trade
balance of the first six months this
year has reached 223,000,000 yens
(about S11O,000,000).
The treasury of the Tokyo city
government is empty and city EN-
ployees are in danger of getting no
pay. More than 100 railroad en-
ployees in Tokyo are dismissed and
more lay-offs are expected.
All these naturally affect Amer

country. According to the midmonth
review of business published by the
Irving Trust Company, NEARLY all
lines of trade and industry in the
United States showed declines for
June and the half year from the

instances the levels reached were
the lowest in six months or seven
years. Wholesale prices of COM
modities sagged further, reaching

AS a matter of overcoming the
crisis, proposal has recently been
made to Legge, Chairman of the
Federal Farm Board, that export
of wheat to the Orient, especially
to China, should be stimulated.
Orient.
But the Orient itself is suffering
from crisis, and other imperialist
powers, notably England, which also
have extra goods to sell, are look
ing for markets just as desperately
as America.
This fight for markets, which are
continually shrinking, can only lead
to war. This situation makes the
mobilization of the workers and
peasants Of the world for the anti
war demonstration on August list
this year a task of particularly
urgent Importance for all class-con-
scious workers.

Insurance Is
SbeedMb Plan
Chicago Heights, Ill.

Chicago Heights, Ill.
The Daily Worker:
1t seems, so says the Chicago
Tribune, that the General Electric
Co. has adopted a plan which 1--WE
believe accomplishes all that might
be expected Of state insurance with
out many of its disadvantages"
The plan is this. An insurance
fund will be set up when requested
by 60 per cent of the employees in
any branch. The employee, when
working half time or more, agrees
to pay into the fund one per cent
of his earnings over a period of
three years. The company will match
this contribution dollar for dollar
and in addition guarantee interest
of five per cent to the fund. The
"fund" evidently will be held Gin
trust" by the company.
Workers Must Pay.
If the employee is laid off tenn
porarily he will receive half of his
wages, but not more than $40 a
week for ten weeks. Special "pro-
visions" cover periods of abnormal
and prolonged unemployment.
There is about as much protec-
ton for the workers in a company
unemployment insurance plan as
there is in company union. There
are many ways of getting rid of
employees without using the excuse
of a business depression" after
they have served their usefulness
to the company.
Speed-up Scheme.
After an employee has paid into
the fund one per cent of his wages
for three years he could be fired
for something or it's possible he
could not stand the killing speed-up
that workers are now being sub
jected to.
1t is only natural that the Tri-
bune should approve of a plan that
would place the full burden of the
present economic crisis on the
shoulders of the workers, and at
the same time offer an opportunity
to rob the workers of their contri-
buttons to the unemployment fund.

is always ready to serve it's masters.
| wonder why the Rev. Norman
Thomas has not suggested some
plan like that adopted by the Gem
eral Electric, then there would be
no need for those national and state
employment agencies he so heartily
approved.
Will Not Deceive Workers.
This fraud and fake fund of the
General Electric Co. will not deceive
the workers or serve the purpose
of the capitalists. The fight for
work or wages will go one and the
Communist Party will solve the
problem of unemployment for all
time.

Workers Tortured In Jail; One Jumps Out of
Second-StOrey Window
Attacks Soviet Union; Defense
Says Torture Wont Stop Communists

The police evidence had shown
that there had been no improper
pressure placed upon the accused.
The first lawyer for the defense,
DR.. Vambery, then spoke and de-
clared that neither Communism nor
the Soviet Union could be abused
out of existence as the prosecutor
seemed to think. Experience had
shown that despite all repressive
measures it was impossible to crush
Communism in Hungary. The men
in the dock were idealists who had
worked for their political ideals, the
indictment was baseless, the evil
dence for the prosecution was
worthless and he demanded The &C
quittal of all the accused.
The lawyer for the defense, DR..
Szoenyi, then described the terror
ism and intimidation of the lawyers
for the defense carried out by the
police. The police had made use
of threats in order to rob the ac-
cused of their legal right of de-
tense. However, the lawyers had
refused to let themselves be intimi-
dated.
The speech of DR.. Szoenyi made
the prosecutor furious and che lat
ter demanded that the protocol of
the speech should be handed over
to the public prosecutors depart
ment with view to filing proceed
ings against DR.. Szoneyi and to the
advocates chamber with view to
securing his expulsion.
