HOOVER promised prosperity in so days.
~ That day has passed, but prosperity failed
to put in appearance Prosperity will
come in spring-still it is not here Now
some say August-others say Fall. But the
army of unemployed remains
"The thing that brings about unrest and
revolution is distressed economic condition."
said a U. S. congressman when the RED In
quiry" bill was introduced in Congress on
May %, eve have large surplus of things to
eat, to wear and to cover our heads, but I'M
employment is rife" What are they going
to do about it? Why, investigate the Reds.
"If you want to create jobs in America de
port every Communist" shouts Congressman
Fish. Very simple! What is the reason for
this Red investigation? The crisis of last De-
tober showed the fearful industrial depression
which had begun as early as April of last
year. By November 100000 men were out
of work. The situation became worse till
finally in the spring of this year more than
100000 were jobless.
Hoover called his business mems conference
in November, assisted by "labor leaders" of
the A. F. of L. Everything was going to be
adjusted, work would be provided The
sult-growing unemployment, more part-time
work, wage reductions, increase of hours!
Thus the unemployment situation was settled!
congress Does Nothing.
What did Congress do? Nothing. What
has it done to date? 1t has passed bill to
study the situation. Everybody was pleased
the capitalists, the government, A. F. of L.
leaders" the socialists-Hoover was mighty
god, great engineer, the practical statesman!
Everybody rejoiced-but the workers!
Then came March with million and
quarter workers following the Communist
Partys call to the workers to organize and
fight for work or wages-jobs with wages or
wages without jobs. Then came May / and
further demonstrations. The Communist and
revolutionary workers had the nerve to thrust
the misery of the working class under the
nose of the capitalist government They had
the nerve to tell the world that in rich CAPT
talist America 100000 workers and their
families starving. They had the nerve
to say that the economic crisis in the United
States not only threw he U. S. into the sweep
of the world economic crisis, but tremendously
deepened the crisis!
What did Congress do to relieve the fearful
economic distress? Nothing. The city author
tiles acting for the capitalists, however, con-
ceived the brilliant idea of clubbing the unem-
ployed and arresting the leaders-just as i'm
perial tyrants have done in the past. Whalen,
the then cossack chief of New York, darling
of Wall Street, set the pace in ferocious po-
lice attacks, followed by the socialist admins
tration of Milwaukee, who were not to be out
done. But this did not reduce unemployment
even the prisons were filled with militant
workers.
The next step was 'the investigation de-
manded by Congressman Fish. Whalen en-
tered once more on the scene with his forged

An Industrial Union in the
Metal Industry

"The situation in the auto as we'll as in the.
steel and metal industries generally is becom-.
ing more favorable for organization work.
Wage cuts are taking place of from twenty
to forty per cent as we'll increased speed-
up and general lowering of working condf
tons as never before in the history of this y
gigantic industry. More and more the trusti-
fication and consolidation of the auto, steel and
metal industries is taking place under the DOM
ination of finance capital and therefore places
before the workers the necessity of militantS
fighting mass movement !
"The offensive on the part of the bose
against the workers in the industry can b
checked on the basis of organization and TIL
struggle on the part of the auto, metal and
steel workers The mood for militant struggle
and the growing rehabilitation among these
masses of workers has been demonstrated times
and again in sporadic strike movements. We
must also emphasize that this is war indus
try and up to the present time the workers
are left to the mercy of the bosses.
"In such strong, revolutionary Metal Work.
ers Industrial Union, the Auto Workers Union
will form an integral, fighting section"
Organize the unorganized must be the inn
mediate task of the conference and under the
leadership of the Trade Union Unity League
build a powerful Metal Workers Industrial
Union.
Smash the speed up system! Strike aginst
all wage cuts! Abolish piece work. tonnage
pay, bonus systems! Fight for the 7-hour do b
5-day week. $500 week minimum was
for all steel and metal workers!
Equal pay for equal work. Fight for Work
or Wages for the unemployed. Organize the
un0rgan2ed. Smash the company unions.
Smash the spy system in the mills! Uncon-
ditional release for all workers arrested in
strikes and support the Fifth World Congress
of the Red International of Labor Unions! Five
thousand new members by June 80.

They Will Investigate the
Communist Party

Comintern and Amtorg documents-which he
does not dare defend But even this did not
lower unemployment.
Who was to blame for unemployment-for
"the distressed economic condition." The
Communists, of course-the Communist In
ternational, the Communist Party, the Daily
Worker the Trade Union Unity League, the
Soviet government!
"Deport them all and thus create jobs in
America" is the brave solution of that fas-
cist imbecile, Fish. That is the quintessence
of capitalist intelligence in the U. S. Con-
gress! That is capitalist method! 81 so
strongly believe in the wisdom and justice of
free Institutions" pompously declared
Representative La Guardia The treatment of
the 100000 unemployed by Congress shows
its wisdom and justice! 1t did nothing-thus
showing the freedom" of the U. S.-the right
of the workers to starve and freeze!
La Guardia and Ramseyer of the U. S. Con-
gross see the coming struggle of the workers
They know that the American workers will
not consent to starve. They know that the
workers will not be frightened by nvestiga-
lions of the Communists, for the Communists
have again proved in this crisis that they are
the only fighters for the workers, who have
lined up against them the government (includ-
ing the U. S. Congress), the capitalists, the
A. F. of L., and the Socialists They know
that such statement as La Guardia's that
1--WE do not want to burn down the barn to
destroy the rats" La Guardia meaning the
Communists), will open the eyes of many
workers.
This contemplate statement from CAPT
talist politician (who once was so socalistic
as TO receive the support of the socialist party
in the eections-and unquestionably is more
"radica1" than thn sOcia1 fascist Row Thomas
shows the method of these defenders of the
"wisdom and justice of our free institutions"
1t shows that also the radicals" and "pro-
gressives" in and out of Congress, who have
proposed and done nothing for the unemploy-
ment situation till the Communists brought it
forward and who, up to that time, together
with all other enemies of the working class,
denied its existence are in reality enemies of
the working class They are only little more
shrewd-in view of the coming elections.
Deport Communists Who Do Not Accept
Present Situation.
So, Congress may proceed to investigate
but this investigation will be rather an nves-
tigation of Congress, the government and the
capitalist system, which, from the mouth Of
Hamilton Fish, will create jobs in America
by deporting the Communists which is
meant all members of the Communist Party,
revolutionary militant and dissatisfied work
ers generally-workers who will not accept
the present situation of unemployment, hunger
and privation, speed-up, long hours, child la
Dor, low wages, injunctions, arrests, persecu-
tons, war;
This is capitalist Americas solution to be
provided by the "Red" Investigation. The
workers will answer by joining the Commu-
mist Party, Trade Union Unity League, and
fighting.

THE National Conference of the Metal Work
ers Industrial League on June IA and Is
will make a new page in the history of the
American labor movement. The revolutionary
Importance and the growing mtancy of the
workers in the metal and steel industries can
not be underestimate. This was demonstrated
time and again in the splendid fight by the
steel workers and the automobile workers. AS
a result of the growing economic crisis, the
bosses with the aid of the government, the
fascist and social fascist leaders of the A F.
of L., are trying to shift the burden of the
economic crisis more through the system of
naturalization upon the shoulders of the mass
es of workers in the industries which means
more wage cuts, increased speed up, as we'll as
increased unemployment All in all it means
a general worsening of the living standards of
the masses of workers.
Against all this the delegates to the national
convention must show keen sense of respon-
sibility and develop out of it militant lead
ership and organization which will be capable
of initiating and leading the pending great
economic battles of the metal, steel and auto
workers. The task of this conference must
be to consciously approach the problems of the
workers in the industries and on the basis cf
our class struggle program build up shop com
mittees, broad rank and file organizing COM
mittees in order to develop a mighty industrial
union which will bring under its leadership
and unite the employed and unemployed
Out of this national conference must come
a challenge against the fascist and social-fas-
cist leadership of the American Federation of
Labor and drive out of the labor movement all
enemies of the revolutionary trade unions.
A part of The new metal workers industrial
union, as soon as organized, is to be the Auto
Workers Union, by decision of its convention,
held in Detroit, May II. An editorial in La
NOR Unity last month states:

The K. II. S. Broadcaster will be
edited by the senior English class
this year. In the past the editor
was chosen by the senior class and
he chose his staff. The change was
made in hopes that we would
have better articles, and that one
person wouldn't have to do all the
work. This year the staff will be
selected from the English class
and will change each month. The
class will be divided into groups,
each group having a different art
icle to write on. The best article
from each group will be published,
It is hoped that this arrangement
will prove more successful and
help to gain the interest of more
readers.
