STOCKS SMASH
TO NEW LOWS

NEW YORK.-After a weak up
ward turn, the stock market has
again crashed to levels far below the
historic smash of 1929. All of the
important industrial stocks such as
United States Steel, American Tele-
phone 81 Telegraph Co. General Mo-
tors, etc, fell considerably, the U. S.
steel stocks hitting 1876, the lowest
price in two years.
Besides the bond market took an
other dip, with commodity prices all
along the line falling. This reflects
the constant downward drop Of rro-
ducticn in basic industries. ard is
intimately connected with the in
creasing bank smashes.
The stock market renewed crash,
which arises out Of the intensifying
crisis. will In turn react on the eco
nomic crisis itself. Reports from
London state that the worsening of
the crisis in the United States is
making things blacker throughout
capitalist Europe.

Big Business Openly Urges
STARRING OF Jobless to Cut Pay
Commerce Journal Fights Insurance Because
1t flinders Wage Cuts; Hoover's Expert De-
mands More Hunger for NY Jobless

England because the unemployed
man is kept from pressing his
claims by being given a dole.
This insurance against wage un-
dercutting is undoubtedly regarded
as one. of the virtues of unempl0y-
ment insurance by many adyo-
Gates, but it ceases to seem so to
the alarmed industrialists who
find themselves confronted by or
ganiged opposition to any and all
of the necessary Establishments of
costs that would enable industry
to make fresh start and open
new opportunities to the army of
the unemployed"
Following closely along this line,
Porter Lee of the presidents emery
ency committee for unemployment,
Yesterday issued q statement to the
press bitterly condemning the New
York breadlines for feeding the job
less too much. Lee finds that about
$4,000 meals are served to New
Yorks 100000 jobless every day, and
that. in some cases, worker after
freezing for hours in one breadline
has still been able to go to another
and eventually get another cup of
near coffee and bun or a bowl of
soup.
This is outrageous, says Lee, and
proposes that central bureau be
established to give one ticket a day
to each man, evidently SO chat he
will suffer enough to make him good
and ready to scab when workers go
on strike against wage cuts.

ADMITS FAILURE
OF FAKE BENEFITS
Only One-Half of 10
"Protected" in 1928

NEW YORK.-Confessiu the ut
ter inadeauacy of present systems OF
boss and labor faker unemployment
insurance" a statement issued yes
terday by the Industrial Relations
Commission, Inc, an employers or
ganization headed by the slave driver
Owen D. Young. and including John
D. Rockefeller Sd and Arthur Woods
as trustees, admits that during 1923
less than one-half of 1 per cent out
Of an approximate total of 23,O00,000
wage slaves, enjoyed theoretically,
at least" some sort of protection
against unemployment.
Giving figures for $1,2S9, 1856 paid
during that year in unemployment
benefits. the Industrial Relations
Commission, Inc, declares that thus,
during 1928, under all the formal
plans in existence, close to $l,500,0OO
was paid out in unemployment COM
pensation to laid-off workers" OF
this amount, the commission admits
that only $11.871 came from the re-
luctant pockets of the employers.
The figures of Ithe commission
shows that under this fake system
OF voluntary unemployment relief
(Which is now being sponsored by
Hoover, rem and the rest of the fax
ers) there was only available total
of $1.750,000, or an average of about
SIG for each worker covered.

The official A. F. L. figures were
first in agreement with the fake
census estimate of 2,5OoOOO unem-

stand for such brazen underestima-
ton, Green hesitatingly raised the
figure to about 100000.

sentiment from the masses of unen-

the above mentioned cities are ap-
Piled proportionally to the rest of

view by Porter Lee of President
Hooyer's unemployment committee.
show that the employers not only do
not want to do anything for the job
less. but are determined that they
shall starve so that wages can be
cut.
The Journal Of Commerce is one
of the two main financial daily pap
ers of the country. 1t speaks for the
biggest of Dig capital. Its editorial
yesterday gave the employers argu-
ment against unemployment insur-
ance. The main point is that it
might interfere with cutting wages.
The Journal of Commerce feels sure
that the capitalists can beat down
the resistance of unions in period
of unemployment, but fears that if
the jobless get insurance. they will
not scab and "the. necessary read
justments of costs" wage cutting)
will not go through. The Journal
of Commerce statement on this is
as follows:

Tuesday, despite the attempt of the
capitalist prss for the past week
to make them believe that they
would be given loans up to So per

no loans were given.
The depositors were told that mays

The Daily Worker was the only
paper in New York City which
pointed out that the promise of
loans for Tuesday was a. fake. The
chances of loans for the depositors
next week are very slim, as every
day reveals worse and worse condi-
