GRAFTERS PUSH
TRACTION PLAN
Stock Gamblers Clean
Up On It Too

NEW YORK-The first bunch of
graft was already gathered by the
stock gamblers and politicians be-
hind the Untermeyer so-called uni
fication plan for the subways and
elevated roads, which opens the way
for an s80O,00o,ooo present to poll
ticians and Wall Street gamblers.
Immediately after the publication of
the report, traction stocks went up
and the big boys who had lot Of
stock unloaded and stuck the money
in their pockets.
The plan which offered to pay the
rich stockholders about twice, the
price for which the stock was selling
on the market is now being sup
ported by republican politicians as
well. The plan was drawn up by
Untermeyer, who tries to appear as
a public spirited" lawyer. but who
was appointed by the Tammany
leader, AL Smith, and gets paid by
the subway and elevated companies.
The Daily Worker yesterday ex-
posed the whole background of this
graft scheme. The latest to come out
in favor of it is Samuel S. Koenig,
chairman of the New York County
Republican Committee. Because the
plan was SO raw, at first the Tam
many grafters who were behind it
proved to be a little reticent. They

WASHINGTON POST
THREATENS CUBA
Menaces Revolt Move
With intervention

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. - From
all reports coming from Cuba, it is
clear that the tensity of the political
crisis, based on the terrible misery
of the masses, which the bourgeois
Nationalist" are taking advantage
of to force Machado out, is reaching
such point that an explosion soon
appears inevitable.
In this light, the editorial in the
Washington Post" of December 90,
the post" being considered as a
semi official organ of the White
House, acquires great Importance,
since it fatty condemns any and all
attempts to overthrow Machado and
openly threatens armed occupation by
Yankee troops.
The opposition In Cuba has grown
recently by addition to the longstand-
ing Union Nacionalistsa" of other
forces such as that headed by ex-
president Menocal Some of these op-
positionists are reliably reported to
be getting arms from British sources.
Menocal is in hiding and such aristo-
cratic bodies as the Havan Yacht
Club is closed by martial law and
Macnado is falling many of his CAPT.
talist enemies.
The Washington Post, bitterly con-
demning Menocal, tips its hat at Gu
ban cir dependence, but hastens to
threaten that:
North American Intervention
would follow the overthrow Of stable
government In Cuba" And then
adds, significantly: "The third oc-
cupation of Cuba by the United
States would be Of permanent char
acter."

Third Article on AFL
and Political C0rrup-
ton On Page Three

A New Jersey reader of the Daily
Worker wrote to us about a week ago,
saying. that if the New Jersey articles
told the truth about the strangle-
hold Morgan and Rockefeller. allied
with crooked A. F. Of L. officials and
politicians, have on the workers of
New Jersey, he would send us $3.50 a
day or so after the series started.
We were somewhat surprised at
the amount promised and came to
the conclusion that the reader, sue
cumbing to his enthusiasm, forgot to
put period between the and the S.
We were a little bit hurt, too, be-
cause the reader said, "if" we told
the truth about New Jersey, imply
ing that the Daily ever does anything
else but, about New Jersey or any
other state.
Imagine our surprise, not to say
embarrassment, when the reader &C
tually sent in the $3.50 after reading
the second article. The reader pre-
fers to remain anonymous and writes
that the money is the contribution
of a club. Be that as 1t may, we
will use this money to carry on our
uncompromising revolutionary strug-
gle.
We take the money, at the same
time recording sthe denomination
and serial numbers for any neces-
sary reference.

Bosses Prepare for Conflict
with USSR, Says Prof. Hoover
Swift and CO. Economist Says Communism Will
Spread Throughout the World With
Success of Soviet Union

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 30.-That
a war is impending against the
Soviet Union was the crux of speech
made by Prof. Calvin B. Hoover at
a meeting of the American Economic
Association Convention on Monday.
Hoover predicted that an inevitable
world conflict between Communism
and capitalism would come on if the
Soviet regime carried on for the next
two years.
Another speaker, George E. Put
nam, economist of Swift g. Co., said
that, if the counter-revolution did
not succeed, the Communist regime
would develop indefinitely and per-
haps spread to a large part of the
world. A PROF. zarist professor made
wild attack on the principles of
Communism, assuring Hoover that
the counter-revolution would 10 its
bit against the workers state.

ROB IS MILLION
FROM DEPOSITORS
u. S. Bank Fakery Is
Now Shown Up

NEW YORK-Court proceedings
brought out r IS which were pub
lislled in the Daily Worker weeks
ago about the inside robbery of the
Bank of the United States. 1t is
now admitted that the Bankus Cor
poration, a sham outfit into which
the officers of the bank poured mill
lions, now is bankrupt. 1t has only
$4,000 on hand but was given loans
of between $l6,0o0,O0o and $4,000, 000
This money is gone. Instead of
being in a position to pay back this
money which belongs to the depos-
itors, the Bankus Corporation is ask
ing for $1,o00,000 to pay interest and
taxes on its phoney real estate deals.
With these facts coming out into
the open, the talk about "reorganiza
ton" of the bank is the usual lies
which Broderick and others have
been handing out to keep back action
of the 100000 small depositors. Their
chances of getting money is simmer
all the time.
The capitalist press is silent on the
offers of so per cent of deposits as
loans. This has Topped, and those
of the depositors who are out of work
face starvation.

up faith in such rotten institutions
as the Bank of the United States, a
catholic priest last Sunday maze 1t

appeal for faith in the banking sys-
tenn of the United States" This is
the same type Of religious opium that
is handed out to workers who get
wage cuts to keep them from striking.
On Friday, the United Depositors
Committee of IS, representing 10000
Bank of U. S. depositors will present
the demands Of the depositors to
Mayor Walker, and later call a mass
meeting of depositors to plan fur
ther action to demand the immed-
late return in full of the money OF
