there, in order to fool the southern
workers, that Thinker will put 5000

that this is 4 deliberate lie.

Nothing is told the southern work

PRISON HEAD
ADMITS CHARGE

NEW YORK.--The affidavit of
Harry Ruprecht, detailing the hor-
rible conditions for the ordinary
worker prisoner in the Jail at Black
wells Island (Tammany calls it
"Welfare Island") has touched a
sore point in the graft ridden civic
body of New York. The affidavit
was made to the international abor
Defense by Ruprecht on his release,
and was given to the press by the
LID. 1t was published in full in

FIGHT FOR SOCIAL

TASK OF T0|LERS

Mobilize For Sept. l
Unemployment Day"

Unemployment and wage-cuts are
growing for all workers. That
wages w ere cut in 60 industries
since November of last year, fol-
lowing the Hoover Green mo wage
cut" agreement, is the gist of the
August monthly review, Facts for
Workers, issued by the Labor Blu
reau, Inc, an organization very
favorable to the fascist leaders of
the A. F. of L. While the Labor
Bureau, Inc, points out the rapid
growth of wage-cuts and urem-
ployment, they cover up the role
of Green, Woll & Co. in aiding the
bosses slash wages. This brings
more than ever to the fore the
necessity for fighting for the
Workers Social Insurance Bill, ad-
vocated by the Communist Party.
1.-THE wage truce, supposed to
have been agreed to by employ
ers at the Hoover conference"
says the Labor Bureau, early
last winter has been violated by
reductions in pay. There was no
way in which to enforce any such
promise on the whole of industry,
since it was made by individuals
who had no authority to represent
any one in this matter but their
own companies"
Here in all its lurid, scabby de-
tails is revealed the strike-breaking
function of the A. f. of l.. official
dom. Just a few days ago Green
praised Hoover for maintaining
wages" While Green faithfully
performs his part of mo strikes"
keeping the workers back from or
ganization to defend their standard
of living, the bosses perform their
part--and cut wages.
In this crisis no worker is safe
from the crushing blows of the
capitalists and their agents, the
A. F. of L., Musteite takers, and the
social-facist Socialists"
Both unemployed and employed
must unite to force through the
Workers Social Insurance Bill.
This bill provides for social insur-
ance for all unemployed workers,
for whatever reason they may be

At the same time, to fight wage
cuts, the unemployed and employed
must unite under the leadership Of
the Trade Union Unity League and
the Unemployed Council, under the
slogan of "Organize and Strike
Against Wage Cuts"
1t is to call on all workers to
