MusteiteS Volt Hide Shows Thru
Fake Unemployment Scheme

employers representatives, one representative
of the public, and two representatives of labor.
What does the public" stand for? 1t stands
for the employers in disguise. 1t stands for
the boss-controed press, church, school, etc.
Labor has discovered by painful experience
that these public" men always "stick" with
their masters whenever it comes to a contest
between laborers and employers.
AS if this were not enough to protect the
capitalists, the Musteites propose that no in
surance shall be had except by the passage of
state laws-4S state laws to be passed before
it would cover the whole country. And en-
poyers must pay into the insurance fund for
II months before the workers can get any in
surance. Perhaps the Musteites expect the
unemployed to live on air in the meantime.
But that apparently does not worry the Music
ties at all. Next year, two years, five years.
seem to make very little difference in their
minds. Are they interested in ever getting any
action! And there is no provisition for in
surance unless you already have job from
which to be fired. Evidently they expect the
millions now without jobs to be taken care
of by starvation. Still they are not satisfied
These proposals are to be sent to "bill draft
ing experts" If the Musteites have forgotten
anything, these bill experts will find it, and
for good measure put in few extra loop-holes.
This outrageous farce would be presented
to the unemployed by only tie most hardened
in such despicable roles, as that of betrayng
workers while parading as militant" leaders
From open capitalist allies we expect a sell
out. We must learn, also, from such damnng
evidence as this, the false and reformist char
acter of these under cover" allies of the boss
es, the Musteites, who do not fight for the
workers, but try at every turn to blindfold
them in order to lead them into the hands of
the capitalists. And the Musteites are the
radicals" of the A. F. of L. and socialist
party.
Fight For Real Insurance.
We must utilize this example to show up the
social fascist character of this Progressive
Labor" crowd, to show that the Communist
Party is the only Party which really fights
for the unemployed and demands insurance
equal to full regular wages and in no case
less than S25 week, with additional amounts
for dependents. Our Social Insurance Bill is
: drafted to make sure that the unemployed get
enough to live on, the insurance to be admin
istered by workers themselves in order to pro
tect the unemployed by seeing that they actual
ly get their insurance. The Social Insurance
Bill of the Communist Party is made to give
reality to the slogan "Work or Wages"
Forward to more militant fight for the
Unemployment Insurance Bill Of the Comnu-
mist Party! Get behind the election campaign,

1t Happened in Sheboygan

And it wasn't half bad, though twas sup
posed to be so awful bad that the American
Legion which was holding a convention in
the town, where the officials wer warming the
boys up with speeches against the terrible
"Reds" who are destroying the home" ma
tionalizng the women told maids included)
kept the whole affair dark secret-as long as
possible.
For one night during the convention, the
commander of the post, with all the little conf
manders who have at their command some
of the niftiest prostitutes who ever did dance
in the altogether for joint stag party of the
Chamber of Commerce and the A. F. of L.,
whispered one by one to each of the delegates
that there was just one of those kind of
parties" OIL at ritzy roadhouse just outside
the city limits. The roadhouse is named "Top
% the Morning." and is run by sportsman
named Nichols.
Nichols swears, however, that he was not
collecting nickels that night, but dame iden-
titled vaguely as "a woman from Milwaukee"
Ia socialist town, OF, OLD had bought the con-
cesson "for the night" and truly, when the
Legion boys, in legions came piling into the
roadhouse, the "lady from Milwaukee" was
at the door with other gay feminine assistants
and took 50 piece from the defenders of
American institutions.
IHSluS. ltey NdiJeu iOl lHc SHoW " Sbd1l,
but it didn't. And after two hours of rather
painful expectation, relieved only by playing
slot machines in lieu of playing with the ladies,
the bulwarks against Bolshevsm bethought
themselves of finding out what was the mat
ter.
Lo! And the '1ady from Milwaukee" and
all her prospectively clotheless assistants had
vanished as complete as Tammany judge who
is wanted for honesty. Whereupon the saviors
of specification decided to save their So and
demanded it back. Riot, but not red, ran
round the roadhouse. Nichols refused to put
up, since he was not responsible for ladies
imported from Milwaukee.
Sheriff Tasche showed UP. And as another
pillar of law and order, got the bright idea
that at least the slot machines were illegal,
and deputized the Legion to break them OPEN
Happy thought! Enough was stolen so that
20t Lcgionnaires all got their So back. The
nation was saved!

We notice that Rudy Valee has withdrawn
his motion for a bill of particulars in a breach
of promise suit for 100000 brought against
him by a show girl. He doesn't seem to like

British Uplift in Borneo

Speaking about Borneo. reminds us that the
League of Nations Anti-Opium Commission,
has chairman that is Englishman, and
he says after seven years Investigations that
stopping TIE dope trade is "very complicated"
and that perhaps in another seven years he
may make a report.
Yet when this writer visited British North
Borneo three years ago, at the port of Sand
akan, with the British flag flying high over
the administration building, he found the fol-
lowing: Right in the center of the town, as
central a point as Times Square you could
walk into a wide open door that has the sign
over it: Opium Smoking Farm" "a farm"
is a concesson) and if a pipe there didn't
suit you, you could walk up the block and
buy any amount of opium you wanted by pay
ing for it at a sort Of ticket window. You
could take it away and smoke it, or take it
to frisco or Hamburg, or where you pleased.
Near the "Opium Smoking Farm" and right
on the main corner was the Gambling Farm"
with all sides open to the tropical air. The
floor was filled with fan tan and acrowd
of all races-but the white.
The British are sticklers on Jim Grow Gus
toms. 1t would be immoral to gamble with
the darker races, so the gambling hell for the
superior" white folks was upstairs! With
Chinese dealers at the tables.
An American chap along with me went into
a saloon, and had the barkeeper set out two
quarts of real stuff, one of "Black and White"
and one other brand I've forgotten "Too-
much," he replied when asked $1.60 for both.
Outside, l protested that, it was dirt cheap.
ooh, I didn't want it anyhow" he said. 81
just wanted to write back to the States that
turned down an offer like that!" You see
the British keep the backward" races doped
and drunk to keep them backward to
keep them enslaved
The whole country is run by "the company"
On the money is printed: Zone Dollar; Brit
ish North Borneo Trading Company" The
government is the company and the company
is the government, and don't make any bones
about it. It's the same here, only there's a
lot of companies, and they hire Hoover to gen
orally supervise things and call it a republic"
Republic, my eye It's one big company town!

By ]. BARNETT.

IT was to be expected that the Musteites would
bring out an unemployment insurance bill,
but instead of the usual camouflaged stab in
the back, their proposal amounts to an open
SLAB in the face of the workers.
Let us see how the Musteite "progressives,"
the Conference for Progressive Labor Action,
plan to carry on their militant fight for
the jobless. According to their proposals, the
unemployed worker is to get no more than 40
per cent of his prevailing wage if he is single,
or if he has wife and two or more children,
more than 60 per cent is to be given. This
would mean that worker used to making for
instance $40 per week, must not get more
than So per week insurance or if married, with
two or more children, not more than S12 per
week. But this is still too bountiful for the
Musteites, so they say that sin no case" is
insurance to be paid for more than rs weeks
in the year. Thus for example, if you have
been making around an average wage of $25
per week and thrown out of work, you
would not be allowed to get any more than
$3.50 insurance per year which to live, or
if married, with two or more children, you
could not get more than 1890 per year. These
progressive" laboratories might ask some I'M
employed workers whether this isn't still too
much
It's SHAM
What does such proposal mean? 1t means
that these Musteites are not really interested
in the workers getting living. They are to
let them starve even if by slower degrees.
Who could seriously think that a family of
four or more could begin to live on $500 per
year, and in millions of cases of lower wages,
it would mean much less. Perhaps the Music
ties figured on soup and night shirts only
Their ridiculous proposals clearly show that

socialist party, with whom they cavort, is
nothing but that of betrayers of labor, not will
ing to even propose steps to do away with the
primary miseries of the unemployed. But
most important is the fact that, as their record
shows, they will not fight for even this miser
able insurance. if it were for only five
cents, they would not put up real militant
struggle for the unemployed.
They merely using this scheme to help
out capitalism. 1t is for the purpose of fight
ing the Communist Party IN the coming cleo
tions. Abraham Epstein, their Great High
Priest and insurance Oracle, says that such
social legislation is "cheap and effective so
cal stabilator," it is useful to ward off Sin
ternal upheavals during troublous times" and
states Significantly, it is effective in counter
acting revolutionary movements.
But the perfdy of the above proposals., limit
sing so drastically the amount of insurance
which unemployed could receive, seems insg-
nificant in comparison with their scheme for
the administration of this insurance. 40 be
certain that the workers would be cheated out
of most of their little amount of insurance
