The governments emergency de-
crees which include the cutting down
of unemployment "doles" at time
of the most acute unemployment
situation were rejected by a vote Of
236 against 221.
The socialist, Landsberg, declared
that the DEGREES have no statutory
basis, therefore the socialists voted
against the government. Minister
of the Interior, Wirth, answered by
pointing cut that the former gov
eminent headed by the socialist
Mueller had considered the applica-
ton of Paragraph AZ on many occa-
sions and that, under the socialist
president, Ebert, one hundred and
fifty emergency DEGREES were issued.
The German nationalists declared
that their attitude toward the gov
eminent will be determined by the
latter's attitude toward nationalist
demands.
Koenen, Communist member of
the Reichstag, clarified the attitude
of the Communist Party toward the
government and declared that the
socialist coalition policy paved the
way for the present situation and
the dictatorship.
NEW YORK.-The situation in
Germany is of world wide import

ment of the world revolution.
According to the German Consti-

will be the only parties that will
gain in a new election at the ex-
pense of the other parties.
In the midst of the deepening
crisis and on the Threshold of a
maturing revolutionary situation,
the immediate future in Germany
will be marked by a tremendous
sharpening of the class struggle, in
which the social-fascists will more
and more openly align themselves
with the developing fascist dictator
ship while the rehabilitation of the
working class, and the growing
strength and influence of the Com.

Expose This SWindle
By Protest Aug. /

With the wa~e of mass discharges
of workers from their jobs, tens of
thousands being laid off here, there
and everywhere, and simultaneous
wage cuts being put over on those
left at work, a rain of fake and ut
terly false remedies" and "plans"
are being spouted by the bosses,
their government spokesman, and
bcotlicking A. F. of L. and social
list" lackeys.
Friday, Gerard Swope, president
OF the General Electric Co., deliver
ed himself of a "plan," in fact two
"plans," which the capitalist press
is spreading itself to "prove" is a
plan to "solve unemployment" or to
Stabilize employment"
Never was there a greater fraud
1t is rather badly stated that "in
no case can workers relief be more
than so per cent of what he has
paid into the fund" How and why
the workers could regard this as
relief" as anything but plain rob-
berry is beyond imagination. While
the "plan" supposes that the COM
pany pay into the "relief" fund
equally" to the workers sontribu.
ton, if the workers. relief actually
received can Gin no case" exceed
half of what the workers pay in,
not only does the company actually
contribute nothing. but it robs the
worker of half of what they have
paid.
Moreover, while the "rules and
methods" are kept rather dark, I'M
doubtedly a worker has to be a good
slave for many long years before
this company union scheme even
promises to I'D him, and it is speci-
fled that he can get no more than
$50 a week, for no more than 10
weeks" If he can get that, he will
be dandy.
But when one looks over the plans
70 "stabilization" one sees at once
that it certainly helps the company
and with equal certainty hurts the
workers. 1t may be called a plan
to stabilize unemployment" at the
expense of both employed and I'M
employed.
1t is a double-barreled "plan,'
one for when business is increas
ing" another for employment con.
troll.
When business is increasing" the
very first rule: "No. l." is "to in
crease the working force as slowly
as possible" That is against the
unemployed. Another "rule" is ito
resort to overtime in particular de-
partments ar in general before in
creasing the working force" This
hts both the employed and unem.

| Then the "rules" for employment

ing at once" which is a queer way
Of helping the unemployed" but
which in actual fact is shown to be
meant to begin firing at once"
which the General Electric has been
doing even before this wise "plan."
Another "rule" is ito cut the nor

to avoid strikes-"down to so per
