Giant Oil Merger
to Fight British
for World Markets

NEW YORK, Feb. ga billion
dollar merger of the Standard Oil
Co. of New York and the Vacuum
Oil Co. To fight for control of the
worlds markets against foreign oil
combines, particularly against the
British Royal Dutch group, will go
into effect as soon as the sanction
of the courts is secured.
A sharp economic war between
Standard Oil and the British Royal
Dutch has been going on for long
time. While the British and Ameri-
can naval experts are fighting for
naval supremacy at the London Con-
ference, the economic struggle be-
tween the two groups of robber
capitalists is growing more acute
from day to day. The struggle for
oil is not the least important phase
in this war.

HOOVER HO0EY

HIT By.FACTS
Building Program" A
Colossal Failure

Hoover is back in Washington
and announces "all's we'll with CAPT
talism." This is not new pose of
the imperialist chief and his fellow
Wall Street politicians. While feel
ing the economic ground shifting be-
meath their feet, they did not let it
effect their tongues.
But for the 100000 unemployed
the actual facts of the growing and
sharpening crisis are of more i'm
portance than the syrupy words of
lying capitalists. The main object
of the Hooverian optimism is to al
lay the growing militancy of all
workers resisting wage cuts and dig
ging in for a determined fight for
unemployment insurance.
Reports are now in for automo-
bile production for January, 1880.

cline of 80 per cent in auto output

actual example of the Optimism"
of the capitalists and the accom-
plished fact. The auto bosses dur
ing December declared that the
slump in auto production would be
in January because orders
for new automobiles obtained at the
December automobile shows were
beyond all expectations,
On the basis of automobile pro-
duction alone it is clearly evident
that at least 80 per cent of all auto
mobile workers were jobless during
January.
We have pointed out more than
once fact that the entire capitalist
press tries to hide by silence:
Namely, that the Hoover promised
building program is the most com
plete flop Of the entire capitalist
scheme for overcoming the crisis.
The most recent report by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
shows how drastically building has
declined-despite the fact that the
