are free from disease this seems to be the one safe plan. If they have disease, they can by raising their own stock and by following out carefully a system of keeping new animals separate from old ones, build disease free herds.
 The second question is, should Windham County as an area take ad- vantage of it's comparative freedom from disease and develop a County wide or a regional plan for a healthy area2 That there are advantages in such a plan is shown by the fact that even the farmers who buy cows in Windham County suffer less disease losses than do those of Hartford County. They have, in many cases, still disease free neighbours herds from which to buy.
 That there is grave danger that Windham County will lose this ad- vantage is shown by last years figures In the IA herds surveyed, 367 cows were bought and only ts6 heifers freshened for the first time. This is obviously a radical change in policy from that which prevailed in the past. If it is continued there is every reas- on to believe that we can expect in the near future as much disease trouble as prevails in areas which have been buying heavily such as Hartford County.

The Dairy Disease Situation in Wind
 ham County

Twenty-seven percent of the dairy herds of Windham County suffered from premature calving in the past year-forty-o percent in the past three years. IL is interesting to notice that in Hartford County losses were just about fifty percent greater. Ap- parently abortion losses, at least those due to infection, usually come from buying cows. Hartford County dairymen have for many years been buying much more extensively than have Windham men.
 Of the IA Windham dariymen sur veyed, seventeen had not bought a COW. Not one of these in the survey who do no buying has had any serious

In order for the workers to strug
gle effectively against unemploy-
ment they must have the most
thorough organization, nationally and
locally. The unemployed movement,
built upon a solid basis of individual
membership, must be linked with
the revolutionary unions at all
points in direct affiliation and
through committees of action, ETC.,
so that the struggle of the en-
ployed and unemployed workers can
be carried on jointly. Special atten-
ton must be given to drawing Ne
groes, women and youth into the
movement. Unions must support ac-
lively the demands Of the unem-
ployed workers and the movement
Of the unemployed must rally to all
the struggles for the defense of the
workers in the industries.

2. DEMANDS OF THE UNEMPLOYED.

The workers must struggle for
such relief against unemployment as
may be secured under capitalism.
The amount of relief achieved by
this struggle will depend upon the
extent of the workers organization
and the militancy with which they
use it against the capitalists. This
very struggle serves to show that
the capitalists, although possessed
of almost limitless wealth, refuse to
give consideration to the demands
of the workers unless forced by the
latter's revolutionary mass action.
The struggle also exposes the CAPT
talist nature of the government and
how it is used as an ins+T"ment
against the working class. 1t I'M
masks the fascist leaders of the AT.
of L. and socialist party and shows
them in their true light as capitalist
agents. 1t unites the workers, en-
ployed and unemployed, for the class
struggle generally against capital
ism.
There must be made a fight
against opportunism in the unem-
ployed movement. This manifests
itself primarily by minimizing the
major demands for social insurance
and the seven-hour five-day week,
and by stressing such demands as
cheaper street car fares, opening
the jails for the unemployed to sleep
in, by minimizing the necessity for
organizing the unemployed and
using mass action, by trying to con-
fine the movement within capitalist
legalist bounds, etc.
In the name, therefore, of the
1,250,0O0 workers who assembled in
demonstrations on March 6, and on
behalf of the 100000 unemployed
workers in the U.S.A. and in the
interests of the workers generally,
this National Unemployment Con-
ference demands the following
measures:
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-04-03

a. Work or Wages. Unemploy-
ment insurance must be the demand
of all unemployed or. workers work
ing only part time. This shall be
paid by the state and shall be based
upon full union wages. The present
determinations practiced in industry
against Negro, women, young work
ers or aged workers shall be elini-
mated in working out this insurance
program. The unemployment insur-
ance shall be financed by tax on all
profits and inheritances (Which were
greater in 1929 than at any time
in history by billions of dollars), by
reduction in salaries of all high Off
ciaIs, and by removal of the tax eX-
enption now enjoyed by the churches
on their tremendous properties. The
unemployment insurance shall be
administered by representatives
elected directly by the workers in
the shops and by the unemployed
through their councils. Pending the
adoption of federal unen .1loyment
insurance, the national, state and
city governments shall make emer-
gency unemployment relief appro-
priations equal to the insurance and
full wages and administered as
3bove provided for.
b. Seven-hour Day Five-day Week.
There shall be established, by fed
eral legislation, the seven-hour day
and five-day week to apply in all
private and government industries
and plants with the six hour day
in mining, railroading and other
hazardous or unhealthy occupa-
tions). Overtime shall be abolished,
c. Abolition of the Speed-up Sys-
TEN. Establishment Of rest periods
throughout the day. Regulation of
machine speed by the workers. Abol
ition Of piece work.
d. Against Wage Cuts and for
Wage Increases.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-04-03

is the fight of the whole working
class. Not only the workers who
are out of jobs but also those who
are employed are vitality involved.
The employed workers are in dan
ger of being thrown into the army
of unemployed, and the capitalists,
taking advantage of the great I'M
employment, Systematically worsen
their conditions. The present eco
nomic crisis, despite all the capital
list propaganda to the effect that
wages are not being cut, has been
marked by a general lowering of
wage standards in the various in
dustries. The Department of Labor
statistics showed that during De-
cember when the total number of
employed decreased by 2 per cent,
payrolls decreased IL per cent.
The speed-up is being pushed to the
limit in all industries. The struggle
against unemployment is INSOFAR
ably connected up with the struggle
against wage cuts, speed-up and
general lowering of the standards
Of the workers.
The fight against unemployment
and capitalist exploitation is world
wide in character. The National I'm
employed Council Of the United
States declares its solidarity with
the oppressed workers of the world
in their struggle againt unemploy-
ment and world capitalim. 1t sup

|. THE FIGHT AGAINST EMPLOYMENT.

Night sticks, tear gas and jails
were the answer of the capitalists
to the demands of the hungry un-
employed. The AT. of l.. and So
cialist party, true to their roles
as capitalist auxiliaries, partici-
pated in and even led these at
tacks upon the unemployed. In
further attempts to demoralize
the movement of the unemployed
workers, the capitalists and their
labor leader lackeys came forward
with a whole series of fake pro-
posals for the relief of unemplOy-
ment. These consist of illusory
building programs, unemployment
census, employment offices, etc.
The A. F. of L., which has become
a fascist organization, and the So
cialist party and Music groups,
which cover their fascism with
radical phrases, take the lead in
all these demoralizing projects
which are aimed against the work
ers and which stand in the way of
real relief for the unemployed.
Such proposals are responses, not
to the needs of the workers, but
to the mass pressure of the work
ers.
The capitalists try to delude the
workers into inactivity with stories
that prosperity" and the liquida-
ton of unemployment are Gust
around the corner" But the wave
Of unemployment rises higher anC
higher. In the latter part Of Janu-
airy, President Hoover in his cam
paign of minimizing unemployment
stated that in practically every in.
dustry' there was an increase ii
employment" But few days later
Hoover's secretary of labor was
compelled to announce that EN-
ployment had decreased by 2 pen
cent from December. Through
February and March there has beer
a steady decline in employment
The slowing down of industry is
constant with only negligible fluc
tuations in limited fields.
In the United States, as well as
in other capitalist countries, tht
workers face permanent mass I'M
employment on a gigantic scale. F9
several years prior to the present
crisis capitalist naturalization, OF
speed up, was throwing hundreds o.
thousands out of work. Factory EN-
ployment was decreasing by more
than 100000 per year in spite 0.
huge increases in productivity. The
growing army Of unemployed was
being further recruited by vas
armies of workers and small farm
ers driven off the land by the agri
cultural crisis. Before the present
cyclical crisis in industry set in, a

ports the revolutionary struggle of
the masses of toilers in the colonial
and semi-colonial countries-India,
China, Latin-America, etc.
Unemployment is an inevitable
product of capitalism. 1t must
become qOorse so long as capital
ism lasts. The capitalist system,
because of ats inability to find
markets for the masses of COM
modities robbed from the Vorkers,
and a0hicb the exploited qUorkers
cannot bug back, anaUoidabIy
causes "overproductioa," the shat
doa0n of industry and ineUitable
mass unemployment. This condi-
ton groWs 2VorSe aOith the deep
eRing of the lOorId crisis of capt.
talism. Only the oUerthroa0 of the
capitalist system and the estab-
lishment of q SoUiet Government
can eliminate unemployment and
the exploitation of the aUorkers.
The Russian qUorkers in the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics haze
shoVn to the 1Uorkers of the aOorld
the avay to abolish capitalism and
its mass unemployment, and to
build socialism. Their tremendous
successes in constructing socialist
industry, IN collectivising agricul-
tire, IN raising the standards of
the aCorking class, are no1U as
founding the world.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-04-03

Because the capitalists are unable
to keep in operation their bankrupt
industries, based upon private own
ership, wage slavery and the profit
system, 100000 American work
ers are forced to walk the streets
in idleness and poverty while mil
lions more work only part time. The
workers, after having created untold
billions of wealth, are unceremoni-
ously thrown out upon the streets
to starve, while those who remain
at work suffer wage cuts, speed-up,
etc., under the employers offensive.
. The economic crisis in this country,
with its huge permanent mass I'M
employment, is part of the world
crisis of capitalism. All told more
than 20,000,000 workers are now un-
employed in the various industrial
countries. Everywhere, through I'M
employment, wage cutting and
speed-up, the capitalists seek to
throw the burden of the economic
crisis upon the shoulders of the
workers.
The employers and their govern
nlent have done nothing to relieve
the distress of the millions of I'M
employed and their families. On
the contrary they have not only put
the workers out of the industries
and terrorized them, but have at
tempted to deny the existence OF the
mass unemployment, President Hoo
yer taking the lead in this. The
leaders of +he American Federation
of Labor and the socialist party out
stripped the very capitalists in this
lying campaign. The aim Of the
capitalists and their fascist and
social-fascist labor leader fluni;ies
is to force the unemployment issue
into the background so that the
hungry workers might starve in 81
lence.
But the unemployed masses have
given an effective answer to these
lies and attacks on the workers. On
fMarch 6, in response to the call of
the Communist Party and the Trade
Union Unity League, 100000
workers demonstrated in gigantic
meetings and parades against unem-
ployment in all of the principal cit
les of the United States. This, the
greatest mass workers demonstra-
ton in the history of America,
brought the unemployment question
squarely forward as live, burning,
national issue. Alarmed, the CAPT
talists attempted to crush this great
movement of the workers with ter
rorism and violent repression. The
unemployment demonstrations were
met by massed police who brutality
slugged and arrested the workers
wholesale.
a Such terrorism was practiced
even more militantly by the social
list mayor of Milwaukee than by
the typical capitalist police COM
missioner Whalen of New York.
