FOR
WAR" SAYS
BOSS SHEET
Admit Huge Profits
Will Be Made By
Exploiters

In Washington to rush through
war preparations the War Policies
Commission is doing all it can to
make the workers believe that the
next war is not merely a war fol-
the interest of the bosses and their
profits, and that there will be nc
big profits in it for the capitalists
But under the title Preparations for
War" the journal of Commerce, one
of the leading spokesman for Wall
Street, admits that huge Profits al
ways comes to the bosses through
war, and that is one of the main
reasons they want war.
Extraordinary profits and fort
unes based on the economic disor-
ders created by war;" says the Jour-
nal of Commerce March 49,, "how-
ever, appear to be an internal part
u the cost of hostilities."
At the same time they point out
though it is hard to work out a
complete financial and military plan
fol the war that is rapidly coming,
they say sit is possible to make gen.
eral preparation in advance to IA
cilitate the speedy mobilization OF
the naaoq9al resources when war
comes -''--
This is not idle talk of the bosses
at this time, repeating again and
again their eagerness to prepare for
war. Billions have already been spent
for the army and navy. The actual
mobilization is now being carried on.
Major Gen. William c.. Eyerson,
chief of the Militia Bureau of the
War Department, speaking to a
meeting of the Reserve Officers as
ISOLATION in New York Tuesday said :.
THE reserves must be ready to train
the citizen army at short notice, dur
ing the time the regular army and
National Guard hold the fraot."
Here is war talk applied for i'm
mediate VA preparation. Testifying
before the War Policies Commission,
headed by Secretary of War Hurley,
P. A. S. Franklin, president of the
International Marine, laid down a
plan for quick mobilization of marine
transport for war purposes-with a
good profit to the ship owners.

3 STATE HUNGER MARCHES
DEMAND INSURANCE; ALL.
OPPOSES BILL IN ALBANY
AFL UNITES WITH
OPEN SHOP GANG
Against Dole For In
vestigation Only

ALBANY, N. Y, March 19.-The
AT. of L. and the National ASso-
citation of Manufacturers, notorious
anti-mion group which led the open
shop campaign of 1922, united firm
~ before the hearings on the Mast
ick-Steingut unemployment insur-
ance bill here yesterday and fought
venemously against even this weak
form of insurance.
The bill provides that employers
can voluntarily make a percentage
payment on the payroll to an I'M
employment insurance fund, out of
which under very rigid and unfair
limitations, insurance in times OF I'M
employment crisis can be paid at
the rate of $40 a week.
John M. O'Hanlon, secretary of the
New York State Federation of Labor,
AT. Of L., appeared before the joint
legislative committees open hearing
on the bill. and declared that it
Should not be passed, and that the
AT. of L. was in favor of nothing
more than investigation" at this
stage.
Noel Sargent, manager of the In
dustrial Relations Department, Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
denounced the bill in principal as
dole" and denounced it parti-
cularly because the employers pay
the whole cost. "Such a provision
exists in no other country" said
Sargent, and added, as though that
damned the idea of jobless insurance
forever: I'm Russia alone is the en-
tire cost of such a proposition paid
fer other than by contributions from
tie worker who receives the insur-
ance."
Various social service organiza-
tons, the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers, and Professor Joseph E.
Chamberlain of Columbia University
appeared in favor Of the bill.

them assault, with bail set at $1,000
each.
Arrest Three Pickcts.
Yesterday the boss at the Lawrence
Shop, 1856 West Saith ST., pointed out
to the police three pickets who had
invited three girls working at the
shop to come down to the Industrial
Union headquarters and talk over
leaving the scab job and joining the
union. These three girls appeared in
court for the pickets, and testified
that they got in the taxi of their
own free will because they wanted to
find out something about the union,
and the judge had to release the
pickets. The boss and the police were
trying to make a case Of kidnapping
out Of 1t, and had got as far as a
charge Of disorderly conduct, saying
that the pickets forced the girls into
the taxi.
The three pickets were: Max, a
worker in the shop, Rebecca Kaplin
and Yetta Shikman. The shop runs
on a ten hour day, six day week, and
workers get $12 week.

The situation is still very tense,

Clarence Darrow has issued the
following statement to the press:
1--WE read about the disgraceful
flogging Of Coder and Hurst. The
men who did the flogging should be
arrested and indicted. They should
not be given the extreme penalty
Because they were too ignorant to
grasp the true meaning the two
Communists were trying to convey
to them, they took them out and
beat them. I think Communism is
the only sensible method of obliter-
ating poverty and starvation. Rus
STA is the only country with nerve
and conviction enough to do it. The
silkstocking crowd say the preachers
of Communism are ignorant and I'M
intelligent. The trouble is the cap
italists are so ignorant and small
they can't grasp the meaning OF
those people who are fighting for
their personal rights and the right
to live"
Editors Correspondence to
the Daily Worker says this state
ment was issued by Darrow on We'd

have carried the statement. The

Four of the inmates were shot to

Three others were machine gunned
from ambush. One of the prisoners
was shot in the back as he chung to

the shooting murder"
Guards" he said, "are paid to
keep prisoners within the walls, not
