F IRE M 0 RE
WORKERS AS
CRISIS CROWS
Facts Blast HOover's
Lies

Facts and figures played Wall
Street Hoover another trick Mon
day and added to the series Of slaps
which reality has been handing him
in the last six months. Every time
poor Herbie came out with rosy pic
lures of revival, some side-kick
clumsily spoiled his picture by blab
bling the facts of the situation.
The same thing happened Monday,
when, simultaneously with the OPP
timistic blast from Hoover's hopeful
mouthpiece, julius H. Barnes, who
sees revival even in his sleep, the
department of labor Immediately
put a damper on the roses by re-
porting a decrease of two-tenths of
one per cent in employment and
decline of one per cent in wages for
April. The total number of work
ers in the basic industries of the
country actually dropped in April
from 4,915,984 to 4,9O5,798. And
who does not know how the depart
ment of labor loves to juggle en-
ployment figures!
At the same time, the bosses seem
to have discarded even the pretense
of not cutting wages and have come
out openly, justifyirg further wage
cuts which they are planning, and
calling upon the workers, particu-
larly the Gabor aristocrats," to help
them by accepting the cuts. In addi-
ton to the statement by the Journal
Of Commerce of June 2, the June
issue of the National City Bank
economic review also called for
wage-cuts, pointing especially to the
building trades. This demand is
made under the threat that unless
wages are cut, they cannot continue
production, and the workers should,
therefore, be satisfied with some
wages and a job, rather than with
possible "high' wages and no job.
Furthermore, they argue, wage-cuts
will enable them to expand their
field Of activity and thus provide
more work.
In this situation the A. f. of L.
misleaders will only sell out the
workers to the bosses, and only the
revolutionary industrial unions Of
the Trade Union Unity League and
the Communist Party will serve the
interests and the needs of all sec
tions Of the working class.

Workers wages are chalked up
against their purchases at the COM
pany store, And they are flogged
if they depart without settling. The
only way to pay is to work some
more at wages that won't stretch
even to cover their meager require
ments. Well trained slaves are per-
mitted to move to another camp to
work, and their ever present debts
are transferred with them.
When a worker simply can't be

France and Italy in Bitter Naval Race

PARIS (IP.S.).-In consequence
of the bitter rivalry between French
and italian imperialisms and the
mutual betrayal of secrets, it is pos
sible to obtain a good idea of the
naval ornaments of the two coun-
tries. The launching of five new
Italian naval units Immediately
after the London conference pro-
duced a howl of rage in the French
press, and the Italian press an
swered with figures concerning
French naval ornaments.

tration to any further talk, even,
about independence. And although
the majority of the committee are
reporting the bill favorably not one
of them is one iota more for Philip
pine independence than is Hurley
and Hoover.
Bingham and his minority are OPP
posed to it, not because the bill
really means independence even if
it were adopted, which it doesn't.
They oppose it on Hurley's policy
that even such talk had better stop.
They know it is only talk on the
part of the majority, which is using
the bill only as club to force con-
cessions on the tariff.
The majority Gin favor of Philip
pine independence" then, is only a
swindle. They are no more in favor
of it than is Stimson. But they are
using it as way to bring pressure
on the administration to grant con-
eessions on the tariff to interests
represented by them in the Con-
gress.

out at the bottom. The Reichs-
gericht had sentenced Communists
on many occasions for no other
"crime" than that of having ex-
posed the illegal putschist actions
of the national fascists.
The Communist speaker was Com
rade Alexander, who also exposed
the class nature of the Reichs-
gericht practice on the basis Of
numerous instances. He also showed
the effect of the law for the pro
lection of the republic brought in by
the social democrats and denied the
right of the latter to criticize the
actions of the Reichsgericht for
which they were responsible. He
concluded his speech with a demand
for an immediate and all-ambracing

posing as the saviors of the coun-
try from civil war and bloodshed.
Labor jurors, watching the case
of the Imperial Valley criminal syn
dicalism law victims, are being ar
rested, and workers who distribute
the leaflets of the T. U. U. L. are
being jailed.
Jail Japanese Member.
A Japanese member of the labor
jury was arrested on the charge of
distributing leaflets although he
had actually not taken any part in
it. Harris, a member of the labor
jury, was arrested and charged with
distribution. George Koz, K. Math
ews, Frank Haines and Bobbie Hall
were sentenced to five months each
for distributing T. U. U. L. leaf
lets. The I. L. D. is defending and
appealing all these cases. All are
held on $500 bail each.
The Old Bomb Plot.
In the trial itself, Sherman Bar
Der, the paid spy of the Imperial
Valley bosses, has been testifying
for the last two days, and resort
ing to frame-up. He says that the
defendants and the T. U. U. L. in
tend to use arms and explosives
during the coming strike of the
vegetable pickers and packers. The
basis of the frame-up seems to be a
distorted account of the determine
ton Of the workers to defend their
union halls and speakers against
terrorism and murder by the police.
Literature seized by the sheriff's
force at the time of the arrest of
IS workers preparing the conven-
ton (of whom the present defend
ants were part) is being introduced
in the trial to have the Communist
Party and the revolutionary unions
declared illegal. If this is accom-
plished, all that is needed hereafter
is to prove membership in order to
convict of criminal syndicalism.
The defense countNr-attacked by
forcing the reading of all these pa
pers, leaflets and pamphlets into
the record, thus giving all in the
court room a lesson in the class
struggle.
Read Letters Too.
A letter from the Marine Work
ers' Industrial Union (then league)
was produced and referred to by the
prosecution as damaging and secret
of an armed conspiracy.
This use of it was hindered by the
defense insistence that it be also
read.
A Monograph and typewriter
were introduced by the prosecution
as exhibits. The atmosphere in the
court room is bitterly prejudicial,
with the judge overruling nearly
every objection by the defense.

it is common talk in certain circles
down there that the same Manville
Jenckes Co. which sent its gunner
to kill National Textile Workers
Union organizers and members at
Gastonia last year, has bought eX-
tensively in Georgia, and will soon
be recognized as one of the powers
which are trying to electrocute the
six in Atlanta. Manville Jenckes
lawyers handled the case for the
prosecution in the attempt to electro
cute workers tried for defending
their tent colony at Gastonia.

China Exchange Drops; Crisis Deepens

means a continuous deepening of
the crisis in China, which will also
severely affect the crisis in other
parts of the world. Continuous
drop in silver, which is the STAN

it particularly difficult for mer-

Little Entente Intensifies War Preparations

BUCHAREST, June 4.-By the
appointment of General Hadzic, Yu-
goslavian minister of war, to the
post of minister to Bucharest, the
French imperialists have made an
other important war move which
can be considered as an accompani-

Capitalist press reports from
Peshawar tell Of furious bombing
by half hundred airplanes of the
entrenched followers of the native
tribal leader, the Hail of Turangzai
and his son. Meanwhile, batteries Of
mountain artillery shelled the ma
tives' position. But the British wise
ly decline to attempt any infantry
or cavalry movement against it.
A raid by armed tribesmen caught
two British army trucks entering
the British fortified post of Shah
kadar Tuesday night, and under the
very walls of the fortress, shot up
the trucks and burned one with its
drivers.

quently, drops to a minimum. A
great shrinkage Of the Chinese mar
ket for foreign goods necessarily
contributes to intensity the crisis in
the imperialist countries which are
already seriously suffering for the
lack of markets.
At the same time, the continuous
drop of the China exchange is also
good barometer of the increasing
influence of the revolution and the
impending collapse of the forces of
reaction in China.

This movement is undoubtedly the
answer of the revolutionary social

the so-called anti-terror law, which

Three Days That Sh0W
insufficient DAILY Aid

What would be your reaction If
for three days the total contribu-
lions to the Daily Worker Emer-
gency Fund totalled only $559.56
when the income for this fighting
fund should average $1,000 a day.
On May 81 only $130.16 was re-
ceived to keep the Daily Worker
going. On June 2 Chicago saved
the day a little by sending in $500
of the total of 392.90 received that
day. On June the insignificant
total of $3.50 was sent in.
This will never save the Daily
Worker, comrades and workers.
This negligible income for our fight
ing fund will never pay heavy OBJ
legations accured during past
months, will not insure regular pub
LEGATION, will not assist US through
the summer months, during which
receipts from all sources show a
tendency to fall off.
These are fighting times and you
will have to develop spirit of fight
to save the Daily Worker. Attacked
by the enemy investigators" as we
are, faced with an invasion of our
office by Vol, Easley and other
takers who are in the employ of the
employers, there should come to our
rescue and support tens of thou
sands of workers and hundreds OF

stantly.
