the initiative and Self-reliance of the unem-
ployed, of the creation of a wide group OF active
leaders from among the unemployed, and the
general increase of attention from the revolu-
tionary trade union organizations to this move
ment 1t is important that the revolutionary
trade union organization manifest direct ini-
tiative in the solution of all these problems. We
must not, however, lose sight Of the fact that
the revolutionary trade union organizations CAM
not under any circumstances take the place OF
the unemployed councils. The leadership Of tbs
unemployed movement must express itself not In
the formal subordination of the unemployed
councils to the revolutionary trade union move-
ment, not by means of orders, not by mechanical
introduction of the directives from the trade
unions but in that the fighting program of the
revolutionary trade union movement in the
sphere of the unemployed movement is carried
through in the unemployed councils through the
unemployed members of the revolutionary trade
union organizations. The latter must be SYSTEM
atcally instructed and they must serve as this
fundamental kernel in the unemployed councils.
They must be that driving force In the work.
At the same time we must with the aid Of the
members of the revolutionary trade union organ
izations in the unemployed councils carry on
systematic recruiting campaign to attract th~
most advanced sections of unemployed workers
INTO our trade union ORGANIZATIONS, eheIupVluS
them from the payment of the initiation fee and
the membership dues Of no less Importance Is
1t that with the coming Plenum of the TUUL We
should make a very careful analysis of the move
ment of the unemployed, the question of the
methods of work. organizatonal forms Of our
work directed partly to the drawing in into the
mass movement of the unemployed also, workers
who are working part time and the unemployed
workers, and the creation of united front In
the struggle against the attacks of capital
against the lowering Of wages, for the increase Of
wages. for the immediate relief to the unem-
ployed, and for social insurance at the expense
of the government and the bosses, etc. The ac-
tivity of the revolutionary trade union organiza-
tons and supporters of the revolutionary trade
union movement in the councils of the unem-
ployed must go on all the time in such man.

Demagogy and More Demagogy-.
But Wage Cuts Forever!

TRYING to show how Mr. Hoover and his ad-
ministration is downhearted about the open
ware cuts initiated by the United States Steel
DorDoration, the bourgeois press informs us:
"a phase of the official comment was an
expression of hope that the action taken by
the steel corporations and General Motors
would not lead to cuts in wages throughout
the country"
This hope of Hoover was expressed precisely
on the day when the REIMBURSEMENT of wages
was already raging throughout all industries.
THE movement to readjust wages inaugur-
oted by the United States Steel Corp. became
almost nation wide today as reports from in
dustrial centers told how other large corpora
tons were ordering wage cuts and reducing
working hours into effect october l." IN. Y
WorldTelegram. Sept. "a, 1881
The American bourgeoisie and its government
does not even bother to find a more or less
plausible form for its lies 1t knows that public
opinion' will be satisfied with the crudest
fabrtcations.
When japan carried out its planned and pre-
pared occupation in Manchuria, the great
diplomatic genius Stimson, declared officially
that there was no clash between Japan and
China in Manchuria, but mutiny of soldiers of
both countries When the first stage of this oc-
cupat- m is already completed, Stnson boast
lllly supports note proposing ito both sides
the cessation of hostilites and withdrawal of the
respective troops" This clever advice could but
proYc1o a laugh in Tokyo According to the
f''l"eoss press. the reaction in Tokyo on this
fote was as follows:
The situation which the League envisages
does not exist The Chinese troops have al
ready withdrawn while with the exception of
the three points mentioned the Japanese are

explain to the masses the offensive of the bour-
geoisie and its different forms in their own ex-
perienceS. This will also help them to under
stand why now one part of the bourgeois takers
stimulates its dissatisfaction with the system of
open wage cuts and in word demagogically takes
a stand against the wage cuts. The masses
will understand that the statement of Green
threaded with a note OF bitterness and dis
appointment about the wage cuts, is but an
integral part of the plan of the offensive of
the bourgeoisie, plot without which this Of
fensive cannot be carried out. mo threat of
action by organized labor was contained in the
statement however" ironically remarked the N
Y Times OF course not! The aim Of Green's
statement in not to organize for action, but to
betray and make impossible the action Of the
workers.
Julius Klein, assistant secretary of the De-
partment of Commerce is even more radical"
in his demagogy There will be hell to pay
throughout the United States in the event of
a general wage reduction" exclaimed Hoover's
right-hand man. Dozens of senators and con-
gressmen hurried to emphasize their dssatis-
faction with the wage cuts, although in more
moderate form. We will not be surprised if to-
morrow new dozens of politicians will join this
protest" do not take all this too tragically"
states the bourgeois press. The politicians have
in mind the coming elections.
But what about the political motives
against this change in the wage scale? They
are the ones that apparently cause most
anxiety at Washington. To go into presi-
dental campaign next year with record of
lower wages and higher taxes appears far
from alluring to republican politicians. But
when economic and business law shows itself
to be memorable politics has to give way"
IN Y Times Sept 24)
But the bourgeoisie of course, is not troubled
by this play of the politicians. THE owner
knows his cattle" The American capitalists
have a new international idol-MacDonald is
their beloved man. And arguing for the neces-
sity for a brave and decisive policy of open wage
cuts, they cite him as an example.
The blood of the young working class being
transfused into the sick industries of the de-
caying capitalism will end the crisis-this is the
slogan of this new plumber. And on the very
day the wage cuts were announced, the bour-
geois press tried to create the impression that
prosperity appeared once more around the cor
ner. stocks rise as result of wage cuts"
exclaimed the bourgeois press. Too early, gen.
tlemen, new disappointment awaits you. Even
this revival on the stock exchange miserable as
it was, did not last long The steel stocks have
already shown decline-a fact that reflects
the deepening of the general crisis But not
only this The counter offensive of the workers
is yet TO be met.

This is the fourth in a short series of import
ant articles on this subject. Previous articles
have dealt with the need for work inside the
factories, with factory groups and factory COM
mittees and concentration of work.-Editor.
THE tactic of the united front must find larger
practical application in the everyday activity
Of the revolutionary trade union organizations
than was the case heretofore This is impera-
lively dictated by the concrete situation which
is characterized by the growth and the approach
of new mass economic struggles in connection
with the mad offensive of capital In every
economic strike, in the organization of militant
mass demonstrations, in the development of the
movement of the unemployed, in our every day
work in the shops and factories, or in the union,
we must invariably secure the establishment of a
united front between the supporters of the revo-
lutionary trade union movement and the rank
and file membership of the reactonary unions,
and with the unorganized workers, between the
unemployed workers, between the white and
black workers, and carry out the slogans of the
united front in practice. In the question of the
successful leadership of strikes, in the question
of successful work in the shops, and in the ques-
ton of the success of our work in the hostile
unions, we invariably depend on the question of
the capable application of the tactic of the unit
ed front. This tactic of the united front we must
place at the foundation of our concrete practical
work during the preparation and then the con-
duct Of the strike. From this it follows that we
should not foist on the workers of other political
tendencies or workers from other unions ready
made demands but to discuss them in detail and
to work out those demands together with all the
workers irrespective of their political affiliations
or trade union affiliations, and in the same way

 Baseball men generally still recall this series as the most dramatic and spectacular of all time
 I recall listening one evening to prolonged and highly interest ing discussion of this series by Buck Herzog, then Giant infield- CT, now with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
 The games were played alter nately in New York and Boston, one tie prolonged the issue to eight games and the players of both teams were on the verge of nerv- ous breakdown by the time the last battle was waged between Smoky Joe Wood and the great Mathew son.
