Machinery, Unemployment
and Wage Cuts
By KARL MARX

Machinery mas the same effect,
but on much larger scale It
supplants skilled laborers by. I'M
skilled, men by women, adults by
children; where it is newly intro
duced it throws the manufacturers
upon the streets in crowds; and
where it is perfected improved or
replaced by more powerful ma
chimes, discards them in slightly
smaller numbers. We have sketch
ed above, in hasty outlines, the
industrial war of capitalists with
one another; and the war has this
popularity, that its battles are won
less by means of enlisting than of
discharging its industrial recruits.
The generals, or capitalists, vie
with one another as TO who ca,
dispense with the greatest number
of soldiers.
The economists repeatedly assure
us that the laborers who are rem
dered superfluous by the machine
find new branches of employment.
They have not the hardihood diA
rectly to assert that the laborers
who are discharged enter upon the
new branches of labor. The facts
cry out too loud against such a lie
as this. They only declare that,
for other divisions of the laboring
class, as, for instance, for the ris-
ing generation of laberers who
were just ready to enter upon the
defunct branch of industry, nLw
means of employment will open
up. Of course that is great sat
isfaction for the dismissed labor
ers. The worshipful capitalists
will not find their fresh supply of
exploitable flesh and blood running
short and will let the dead bury
their dead. This is indeed a con-
ISOLATION with which. the bourgeois
comfort themselves rather than the
laborers. If the whole class of
wage-laborers were ,anRihilated by

Stain on Religion

We carry on propaganda against
religious prejudices. Our legislation
guaranteed to citizens the right to
adhere to any religion. This is a
matter for the conscience of each
individual. That is precisely why
we carried out the separation of
the Church from the State. But
in separating the Church from the
State and proclaiming religious
liberty we at the same time guar
teed the right Of every citizen to
combat by argument, by propa-
ganda and agitation all reli-
gion. The Party cannot be neut-
raj towards religion and does con-
duct anti religious propaganda
against all and every religious
prejudices because it stands for
science, while religious prejudices
run counter to science, because all
religion is som ching opposite to
science. Cases such as recently
occurred in America in which Dar-
winists were prosecuted in court,
cannot occur Lere because the
Party carries out policy of the

in i929-30 instead of 1878 thous-
and people enyisaged in the Five
Year Plan for this year. The re-
suit was that by the end of the
second year of the Five Year-Plan
the problem of unemployment has
been absolutely solved, unemploy-
nent does not exist any longer in
the U.S.S.R. while the Five Year
Plan assumed that there would be
100000 unemployed towards the
end Of the Five Year. Plan. Now
we face the task of rapidly train
ing the qualified labor-power, the
lack of whichsss so acutely felt by
the rapidly industrializing country.
The improvement of the condi-

this has been overcome, as may be
seen by the above data. Our task
now is to execute the Five-Year-
Plan before term, that is in four
years. The above data show that
we are already carrying out this
task.
However, we are not quite sat
isfied with the rates of growth we
have adopted nor with the quality
of our work. Our severe self-cri-
ticism can be accounted for by this
fact. Those who draw conclusions
about the failure of the Five Year
Plan-basing them on this self
criticism make themselves look
ridiculous.

tons of the working people finds
its expression in the further
growth in the number of workers
enjoying the 7-hour working day.
If by the beginning of the second
year of the Five Year-Plan 1910
of all the workers had the 7-hour
working day, by the first of Octo-
Der, 1880, that is by the end of the
second year of the Five ear-Plan,
the total number of workers hav-
ing the 7-hour working day, reach
ed 1850 of the total number of
workers, thus surprising the task
of the Five-Year-Plan by 3.5ec.

general defense of science. The
Party cannot be neutral towards
religious prejudices because this
is one of the best means of ander-
mining the influence of the reac-
tionary clergy who support the
exploiting classes and who preach
submission to these classes. The
Party cannot be neutral towards
the bearers of religious prejudices,
towards the reactionary clergy
who poison the minds of the toll
ing masses. Have We suppressed
the re dictionary clergy? Yes, We
have. The unfortunate thing is
that it has not been completely Ii
quidated. Anti-religious propa-
ganda is means by which the
complete liquidation of the reac-
tionary clergy must be brought
about. Cases occur when certain
members of the Party hamper the
complete development of anti
religious propaganda. If such
members are expelled it is good
thing because there is no room for
such Communists" in the ranks

the machines, how shocking that
would be for capital, which, with.
out wage-labor, ceases to act as
capital at all.
But let us suppose that those
who are directly driven out of
their employment by machinery
and also all those of the rising
generation who were expecting
employment in the same line, find
some new employment. Does any,
one imagine that this will be as
highly paid as that hich they have
lost? Such an idea would be in
direct contradiction to all the laws
of economy. We have already seer
that the modern form of industr,
always tends to the displacement
of the more complex and the high
er kinds of employment by thos,
which are more simple and subor
dinate.
How, then, could a crowd of la
borers, who are thro-r out of on
branch of industry by machinery
find refuge in another without
having to content themselves with
a lower position and worse pay?

Tactics of New York and Chicago
have taken foothod in Imperial Val
ley and must be put down promptly and
ruthlessly.
We refer to the series of road hold
ups which have occurred here in the past
three weeks. all of them evidently the
work of the same pair of bandits. With
a boldness heretofore unknown in this
community they have attacked citizens
on main travelled highways, forcing them
to stop their cars and submit to the de-
mands of the armed thugs.
Fortunately nobody has as yet been
killed, but it is high time to do little
killing
1t is q serious thing when a newspaper
urges the most forcible means at hand
to stamp out crime, but that is Just what
we most strongly urge on Sheriff Camp
bell. We have no doubt he and his dep
utes are making a sincere effort to put
stop to the activities of this bandit
pair. At the same time his force is nee
essarily limited.
He has, subject to his call, force Of
men trained in the use of firearms, in
the emergency squads of the American
Legion, in all parts of the valley. Call
ing them out to patrol the roads for a
few nights, and with instructions to shoot
to kill, would either result in the capture
of the bandits, or so discourage them
that they would move elsewhere to car
T'y on their outlawry.
If this is not advisable, it is up to the
citizens to arm themselves and to shoot
at the least sign of suspicion from an
other car.
These bandits mean business. They
have proved it by shooting at several
prospective victims who were fortunate
enough TO get away with nothing more
than bullet holes in their cars to show
they had been held up. They must be
convinced by equally determined methods
that the law in Imperial county means
business.

WHAT AN EXPERT SAYS

More support for newspaper adverts-
ing as being the best medium for enabling
the merchant to attract new customers to
his store, was recently given by Arthur
Price, sales manager of the Namm Store,
Brooklyn, n. Y. in an address before the
National Retail Dry Goods association
convention.
Newspapers, he said are already re-
ceiving 70 per cent of the advertising eX-
penditure of the large stores, and he as
serted the percentage should even be
higher.
There is far too much dissipation of
department store publicity dollars in
frills and fads that cannot hope to bring
business he said.
'In 1881 stores must finecomb their
advertising expenditures, not necessarily
to save money but to direct it into the
most productive media. 1t is my sug-
gestion that 5 per cent can be eliminated
and added to newpapers advertising,
thus giving this medium at least IS per
cent of our total publicity expenditure"
Large and successful industries of all
sorts recognize the newspapers as being
the best medium for reaching the great
est buyers in the Countrywide house
wives Day in and day out the house
wives peruse the advertising columns of
their daily newspaper.
The aiority of men turn first to the
sports pages of their paper and then to
the financial section. Few of them read
the advertisements. Most women read
the women's news first and from then on
the advertisements have their attention,
the general news of the day coming in
third.
This fact, we'll known to newspaper
publishers and advertisers, is often un-
known or overlooked by the merchants

in which was boiling some of the
sweet sap from maple trees. Uncle
Wiggily was making hot maple
candy for his children.
Oh, yes, Baby Bunty, the little or

it was Baby Bunty who MADE some
thing happen all of a sudden, which
was where we left off in the story
last night.
The fire was hot, the maple sap
was bubbling and boiling so it would
become thick, sweet and sticky
enough to be made into syrup and
