Jobless Victimized by Graft in Cleveland City

they do this is by calling off the

Iron Age, leading organ Of the steel

that steel production will be cut

More than II per cent of all steel

The best figures the automobile
bosses can give, to add weight to

This means a cut in production

Even accepting the figures of the
capitalists knowing their fealty to
Hoover's prosperity propaganda
campaign, and that their wishes are
rather prolific fathers to their
thoughts, Is to % per cent of the
entire American working class will
be unemployed in 1880.
The yellow socialist, DR.. Ladder,
points out that there have been UNI
employed for some time 100000

Add to this between four and five
millions workers whom the capital
lists themselves admit will be I'M
employed in 1880, out of the total
of 100000 proletarians, and the
question of unemployment for the
working class assumes tremendous
proportions.
At the same time, for the workers
left on the job naturalization will
be tuned to the highest pitch. This
can be seen in the fact that U. S.
imperialism is going to make de-

markets. For this it insists on
smashing wage-cut drives and
speed-up to undersell other capital
ist powers in every field.
Reports from the labor commits
