the sOcial-fascist party; they are
determined to follow the preced-
ent of their comrades in the
U.S.S.R. The workers rally and
unite shoulder to shoulder, rank
and file to exterminate the de-
cayed doctrines of capitalism and
social-fascism.
The social-fascists are not out
for the interests of the workers,
but for their corpulent sleek in
tellectuals. They invariably try
to deceive the workers due to the
fact, that they consider them
selves more intellectual.
None in the world will stop the
workers from (even the big fishes
in the Fish committee) organizing
themselves under hegemony of
the Communist Party, and over
throw the parasitic capitalistic
regime, clean up their agents
(socialfascist), and to form a
workers and farmers government.

STEEL INDUSTRY GOES
DEEPER INTO CRISIS;
MORE ARE JOBLESS
Recent Drop Reflects Lowered Output in Auto
and Other Plants; Construction Down
Facts Show Still More Jobless in Fall and
Winter Must Fight For Jobless Insurance

A further drop in steel production
this week, after the bosses had an
nounced there would be an "upturn"
shows how much sharper the econ
omic crisis is becoming. Writing
about "the disasterous effect on to-
tai tonnage as we'll as on per cent
age of plant capacity" in the steel
industry, Joseph S. Lawrence in the
n. Y. Herald-Tribune Aug. y gives
l. picture of the steel industry that
reflects the crisis in all basic indus
tries. He says;
at is rather difficult for an in.
grained optimist to discover any
thing particularly cheerful about
this series Ia series of charts show
ing the drop in steel production)
The structural steel industry leans
heavily upon new construction for
business, and construction today is
ailing, with very little promise of
revival"
Iron Age, organ of the steel boss
es, III its latest releases admits that
steel ingot production is slightly
downward, with the average for the
country at large at 81 per cent COM
pared with the IS per cent rate that
prevailed in the four previous
weeks" This also compares with
rate of IS per cent in 1929.

NEW YORK.-Like vultures prey

milk dealers have FASTENED to take
advantage Of the heat wave to raise
the price TO milk. The "Dairymen'
League" Gin which there are none
but big capitalist dairy owners and
buyers) announced yesterday that
the price of Grade A milk would
be raised 81 cents a hundred pounds
and Glass B, 20 cents.
1t is to be noted that the price
goes up fastest for he drinking quail

the Leagues excuse that it is
Drought conditions up state which
makes the milk more expensive.
The increase goes into effect Mon

babies need milk, especially in hot
weather they need it fresh, and
therefore hot weather is just the
time to soak the poor hard for sew

POLICE AMBUSH
Those Blackjacked On
Aug. / Testify

NEW YORK.--The International
Labor Defense, together with a
number of labor unions has today
organized a Labor Investigating
Committee to determine the facts
of the vicious police attack which
followed the Anti-War Demonstra-
ton at Union Square on Friday,
August list.
The committee will consist of
members chosen by unions and other
labor organizations who will hear
witnesses and render decision.
Hearings will be carried on at the
Labor Temple, at PAP East 14th St.,
near End Ave. They will be open
to the public. The first hearing
will be today, at 10 a. m.
Two members already chosen are
James Carr, designated by the
Metal Workers Union, and Chris
Popodopolus, designated by the
Food Workers Industrial Union.
Among those unions who will de-
signate additional members at meet
ings tonight are the Needle Trades
Workers, Industrial Union, the In
dependent Shoe Workers Union, and
the Marine Transport Workers In
dustrial Union.
The first witnesses to be heard
will be Beatrice Deer, a young girl
who was carried into the offices
of the Daily Worker spattered with
blood and suffering from severe in
juries; G. Morgan, another of the
wounded, who was subpoened by
Mulrooney's investigators but was
unable to appear because he was
still in bed as a result of his in
juries; Bridget Fairy, a bystander
who was also among the injured,
and B. Ballad, another bystander.

vestigation of its own brutality any
thing but a distortion of the truth
is ridiculous" says the International

Returning home and finding the

Working at practically half the
rate of last year, the steel industry
has laid off tens of thousands of
workers. But the crisis in the steel
industry and the further drops in
production reflect the sharpening
crisis and growing unemployment in
every other industry. The much
Wanted opening of the automobile
plants is complete flop and instead
of increasing still production was
followed by drop. "At the mo-
ment," says the leading financial
writer of the New York Times (Aug.
y, output is smaller than last
December" This was a very low
period in the present crisis, and the
recent downward turn shows a dis
tinct sharpening of the crisis all
along tse line.
1t forecasts more unemployment
How severe the situation is can be
seen from the fact that building con-
struction, small as it is, will soon
begin to stop entirely; automobile
production during the fall and win
ter practically closes down. Millions
will be added to the ranks of the
unemployed. In this situation, every
worker must get behind the Work
ers' Social Insurance Bill, and fight
for its adoption by Congress.

DEFEAT BROACH

1000 Local 3 Members
Demand Bosses Pay

NEW YORK. - The fake unem-
ployment relief plan presented by
Breach machine at a meeting of
Local No. 8, International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers, held at
Central Opera House yesterday, was
defeated by 1000 mem
bers who attended that meeting.
The machine tried to intimidate
the membership into accepting the
fake plan of unemployment relief.
The plan was to assess the entire
membership one days pay every
three months. A committee of three
was to be appointed by the machine
to consider applicants for relief.
Business Manager PRESS spoke
in favor of the fake relief plan.
Moroney, an official of the local,
dared the membership to vote against
the plan. The membership answered
by unanimously voting down the
proposition. Member after member
arose and stated that they were OPP
posed to a plan by which the MEM
bership would pay for their own un-
employed relief. They demanded
that unemployment relief be gotten
from the industry and from the
funds of the local treasury.
A representative of the interna-
tional office in Washington of the
IB.E.W. was present, speaking for
Broach's plan, but was booed down
whenever he arose.

Brooklyn, n. I.
Daily Worker:
A few days ago l passed a
street in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn,
N. Y. Reaching the corner, I
came in contact with socialist
open-air meeting.
/ came at the very moment
when young man queried the
speaker: How will you socialists
abolish private property? The
speaker replied: There are four
ways by means of which it could
be accomplished, but / am una
ware which one of these devises
will perpetrate it. The four
ways are as follows: compensa-
ton, confiscation, prohibition and
education.
Explanation: Compensation
Wen pay, for instance, Mr.. Ford
or Mr.. Morgan for their property.
Interruption by young man. How
much, and who will finance you?
No answer.
Confiscation-We'll confiscate
their property. Interruption:
How, by evolution or usurpation?
No answer.
Prohibition-We'll prohibit to
own property. Interruption: How,
will you enforce prohibition. The
same as prohibition of liquor?
No answer.
TO EDUCATE" THE BOSSES.
Education-We1l educate the
people not to own property. In
terrupted: Why, the rich people
like Mr.. Ford. Mr.. ]. p. Morgan
and Mr.. Hilquit are educated
enough, they should appear to be
the pioneers of socialism and sur.
render the property voluntarily?
No answer.
1t seemed to the speaker, that
so many questions given to him
by a young man, he must be
Communist. Therefore the best
way to dodge answers on such
radical questions is to declare the
meeting closed, so it was.
After the adjournment of the
meeting, as usual, few remained
to discuss matters over. One
commented, he is a wonderful
speaker but STEPPED in demagogy;
the other said: To hell with his
beautiful phraseology we want
facts, action, and no words.
While the discussion became
ardent. one of the Whalen cos
sacks arrived and broke up the
aftermath meeting.
