CANADA BOSSES

TORONTO, Aug. 2s.-The first
step in the plan Of the Canadian
bosses to railroad six working class
leaders to long terms in prison will
be taken BY the authorities when
Tim Buck, N Bruce, E. Even. A. r

The case is being prosecuted by
the Attorney-G General of the Pro-

Of the criminal code of the Dominion

on all militant working class organ

Party.

GREEN URGES
WAGE SLASH
IN FAKE PLEA
Predicts 40 Percent
Increase in Jobless
in Coming Winter
Spread Stagger Plan
A FL Misleaders Help
Plan Clifford Attack

Within a week after his appoint
ment to the Hoover Clifford commit
tee Bill Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor has
come out with speech demanding
a renewed drive for the spreading of
the Hoover stagger plan.
The reason for this announcement
of Green so soon after his appoint
ment to the committee is the fear he
and the bankers have of the mill
fancy of the unemployed and en-
ployed this coming winter when the
crisis will have become sl1arpened
acutely.
Green himself admits that there
will be 40 per cent increase in the
number OF unemployed this winter
He predicts an increase of 2,0O0,O 900
over his present false estimate Of
100000 At the present time there
are over 100000 unemployed work
ers in the country. On the same basis
of an increase of 40 per cent that
Green admits, there will be 100000
more jobless this winter than at pre-
sent, or a total of over 100000.
Even if the increase is only the g.
100000 that Green says, there will be
over 100000 unemployed workers
this winter.
In the face of this mass increase
of the number of unemployed, Green
makes a plea for the bosses to put
millions more on the Hoover stagger
system. He wants wage cuts put
across by shortening work hours
and dividing available jobs among
ALL" This is the plan of attack on the
living standards of the working class
by the capitalist class and their
agents in the Clifford committee
Green and Matt Woll
While the attack is being 1evelled
against wages by the Hoover stagger
| plan the Clifford committee, with its
two representatives of the A. F. of L.,
came out also, as was pointed out in
yesterdays Daily Worker, for slash
ing of the wage rates of the workers.
The Clifford Hoover Green program
for wage cuts as stated in the Times
of August q was the following:
"The new relief organization has
discontinued the practice which was
carried on by the former emergen-
cy committee of urging all indus
trial employers not to resort to
wage-cuts as means of retrench-
ment."
Against this attack the working
class must organize to strike. Organ
ize to strike against wage cuts and
speed up. Fight for unemployment
insurance and immediate relief. Only
by united struggle of the employed
and unemployed can the attack of
the bosses and the AFL leadership be
repealed

Must Combat Sell Outs.
The NTWU and the United Front
General Strike Committee has issued
statement analysing this maneuver
on the part of the A, F. of L. leaders
and exposing it to all the strikers.
The leaflet calls for a militant fight
on the part of the workers against
this sellout. A resolution is being pre-
pared which will be presented to the
workers in the shops condemning the
sellout and the maneuver will be ex-
posed further by series of strike
rallies to mobilize the workers against
it.
At the mass meeting this morning
a striking member of the UTW took
the floor and showed that the ma
neuver last night was quite similar
to that in which the Allentown SELL
out was prepared. Five hundred
workers were kept out of the hall last
night. This UTW member urged the
workers to carry this message to all
of the strikers.

has made, its treachery to the work.

That workers are destitute enough

is the direct and planned result OF
the fight against social insurance by

fascist leadership of the A. F. of L.
The restitution and misery of the
more than ten million unemployed
workers is being used throughout the
country to force down the standard
of living of the American workers.
The workers, employed and unem-

relief, social insurance, stopping OF
evictions and for unconditional equal
rights for the Negro masses.

LONDON, Aug. 3s.-The labor
canlouflage program which was is
sued yesterday includes mortgaging
foreign investments. 1t calls for a
temporary suspension of the ma
tional debt and sinking fund, the
taxing Of unearned income and re-
ducing the war debts. 1t states that
the attack. on the dole is intended
to weaken the resistance to wage
cuts. A more hypocritical document
has seldom been issued.
1t is carefully calculated to cover
up the role of the labor government
during the preceding period before
the Macdonald action, and the basic
fact that nine-tenths Of the national
government program was agreed to
by. Henderson and his followers who
now lead the opposition"
Furthermore, the manifesto does
not make any direct demand that
