Unemployment
Grips Amt0;
Bosses Lying
By ROBERT L. CRUDEN

DETROIT, Feb. AT this juno
ture when the bosses are trying to
persuade Detroit unemployed that
everything will be all right soon
a report has appeared which COM
pletely puts all such talk into the
discard. This report, issued by the
Union Trust Company of this city
definitely shows that unemployment
will not be remedied by a mere bet
tering of business conditions in gen
eral and that along with unemploy-
ment has come an increase in the
cost of living.
The report declares that automo-
bile production in 1929 increased
1913 per cent over 1928 with only
3 per cent increase in employ
ment. "This is a result to which
automobile manufacturers may very
well point with pride, but one which
is accompanied by an increasingly
serious consequence - unemploy-
ment." 1t drives this point home
with the statement that 1.-TWO of
the largest automobile companies
have recently given notice that
casual laborers will not be en-
ployed." Casual laborers, for the
most part, according to press re-
ports here will consist of unnatural
lied foreign-born workers and
others who have not been in the
city for years!
"The value of building permits
decreased 21.5 per cent as compared
with 1925" continues the report
This bears out the reports of large
scale unemployment in local build
ing trades. The Plasterers' Union
has had to open soup kitchen,
so bad has the situation become.
And so, while the workers strain
under the two-thonged lash of I'M

DEMONSTRATION
FOR FIL|PINOS
Fight Against Murders
For independence

The New York Branch of the
Anti-Imperialist League calls upon
all workers to join the demonstra
ton and parade to be held today
at 100 at Battery Park. The dem
onstration is called to protest against
the murder of Filipino workers who
have been the most militant in the
recent agricultural workers strike
in the Imperial Valley, California.
The League declared THAT the
vicious race riots being conducted
by the American Legion and sane
toned by the government in Calf
ornia is only part of the general
attack on the working class of this
country, and upon the masses in the
colonies.
"We call upon the workers to
come and participate in the mass
demonstrations and use all class
methods to stop this discrimination
and fascist blood shed of militant
workers regardless of color or race. "

NEGRO MASSES
ARE UNEMPLOYED
Called to Organize and
Demonstrate Feb. 26

Among the 100000 jobless
workers in the United States there
are many thousands of Negro work
ers. On the job they are exploited
to the utmost, and when unemployed
their lot is the most miserable of
all the workers. The Chicago
World, Negro paper, reports that
there are more than $4,000 Negro
workers unemployed in Chicago. The
Chicago World gives a description
of the suffering of these Negro job
less: (Jan. IS, 1880.
"a great majority of the men are
married with families dependent on
them for support. A great num-
Der of the idle workers have been
without jobs since last summer.
Their wives and children and other
who may be dependent on them are
barely existing in miserable living
quarters; hungry and cold; racked
by diseases peculiar to exposure and
ravages of severe winter weather.
They are threatened momentarily
with eviction because of inability to
pay exhorbitant rents for dilapi-
dated quarters, unfit for human
habitation.'

Mon. At 131 w. % st.

While Benjamin Schlesinger, pres
ident of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers (the company
union) and his delegation were sit
ting fraternally in Governor Roose-
velt's executive offices yesterday
afternoon with the delegation of the
dress manufacturers, contractors
and jobbers, the I.L.G.W. gunner
staged an attempted raid on the Of
fees of the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union.
Net results: A fake conference
meets tomorrow in Albany in secret,
with Lieutenant Governor Lehman
presiding, to put the official seal of
the state on a three-year slave con-
tract, and to decide" terms of set
tlement, that were already settled
between the bosses and Schlesinger
before the Strike" started-also,
the I.L.G.W. thugs got one of the
finest trimmings that any gangsters
ever had when they tried to capture
the Industrial Union offices.
Roosevelt "The Savior"
Roosevelt's conference is called so
early in the game, because in spite
of every lie spread by the capitalist
press, the workers do not follow the
I.LG.W. and they are rallying in
greater strength every day to the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union. The fake strike must end,
and quickly, or everything will go
to smash.
For the same reason, the thugs
redoubled their attempts yesterday
to try and do by strong arm method
what they have been able to do by
trickery.
The Broken Soldier.
A little before 5 P. M. a group Of
about 25 gangsters, led by the no.
torious gang leaders "Gerra," 'Lep-
ka," and Soldier Bartfield," armed
with knives and bludgeons, attempt
ed to break into the headquarters
of the Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union at 131 West 28th
Street. Hundreds of workers, who
at that time gathered at and around
the union headquarters, defended it
against the attack.
The fight was short, but hot while
it lasted. When it was over, and the
ambulance squad was picking up the
battered thugs, two Jealous internes,
seeing "Soldier Bartfield" bleeding
heavily, took the coat off the uncon-
scious man, and everybody saw he
was wearing a bullet-proof vest and
a pistol. The pistol is considerate
violation of the Sullivan Act, and
the police, observing that their little
pal was thoroughly exposed, had no
choice but to arrest him. He was

"A letter signed by the missing
Czarist General A. P. Koutepoff,

NAVAL ACCORD
ONLY A FARCE
Treaty Killed in Last
War, Revived for Next

LONDON, Feb. England has
agreed" to the parity demand of
the United States, not because it
likes to agree, but because it is in
no position not to.
Britain agrees on parity on all
classes, but adds that battleship
sizes be reduced and that battleships
be eventually" abolished. But this
is not to U. S. liking, the Americans
are depending on the big battleships
as the backbone" of the fleet in
the coming imperialist war.
The fake nature of the whole con-
ference is shown by the proposal
that submarines abe abolished" and
that the "root treaty, restricting
war time use of submarines almost
to the vanishing point, should be
revived"
What happened to the aforesaid
"Root Treaty" that it is now to be
"revived?" The Root Treaty was
made before the World Imperialist
War, and at the time it, like the
agreements" and possibly
a treaty." was hailed by pacifist
fools as guarantee" that the hor-
rors of war would be reduced" so
far as submarines were concerned.
But when the World War came the
treaty simply was put aside and the
war, with submarines, went on en-
tirely as if no treaty" existed.
The imperialists at the Naval
Conference ought at least to make
a new piece of paper to lay aside
in the next war.

Into Germany

FRANKFORT ON THE MAIN,
Feb. THE Morgan & Co. con-
trolled General Electric Co. has
taken over $10,0O0,0OO in bonds of
the Siemens & Halske Co., which
gives the American imperialists a
substantial control in this electrical
supply manufacturing company.
The American General Electric Co.,
already is closely allied with the
German General Electric Co., and
are planning a further drive for
world markets against the British
electric trusts.
The arrangements were revealed
in an article published in the Ger
man capitalist paper, the Frankfurt
ter Zeitung. The operations of the
Wall Street owned electric indus
tries in Germany will be directed
toward the whole export field. Com
petition is sharpening, and the rival
ries between the British, Germany
and American capitalists is especi-
ally severe.
In spite of the empty announce
ments of parity" at the London
mediterranean conference, the
British and American imperialists
are sharpening their competition for
the world markets in steel, cotton
goods, electrical supplies, etc. The
real factors behind the war danger
are becoming intensified.

The workers of this city will go
out into the streets today and to-
morrow to raise funds for the strik-

The miners are continuing their
struggle against the united forces
of the state cossacks armed with
machine guns, the police, Lewis

They are hungry, their children are
unfed and unclothed, but they con-
tinue their heroic struggle.
What will be the answer of the

The shoe workers, the needle trade
workers and food and millinery
workers, the workers from the build
ing trades and all the other workers
of New York? Will we leave the
brave fighters to starve? Will we
not stretch hand of comradely
solidarity to them?
The workers of this city will
stand by the miners. They will help
them in their struggle against the
