A Friend of the Veterans

Mr.. Adolph Ochs pronounced COX" and siS

er of the N Y. Times.
Being one of 1.-THE SO who rule America" yet,
evidently among the idle" which the New York
Times is always urging be put to work, Mr.. Bull
excuse u.s. Mr.. Ochs-was passing the cold
March weather in Hawaii.
While there reports the magazine 'Time" of
March 9, Mr.. Ochs expressed himself" to the
paper known as the Honolulu Advertiser" He
really should have sent himself by freight, be-
cause he split all the beans in the pot talking
about the cash bonus for vets.
For example, while his paper makes a great
fuss over the brave vets, who upheld their coun-
try from being invaded by the Hun" and whom
it now calls on to save from the Reds, although
it got off some nasty cracks at the vets who
wanted the bonus paid, never slipped so far as
its owner, Mr.. Ochs.
For in giving his reason against the cash
bonus, Mr. Ochs, owner of the N. Y. Times said
that if the vets got the money-'It would be a
feast for a short while and then famine again
for majority of the recipients. fool and
his money parted"
Do you understand this, vets? The owner of
the N. Y. Times says that majority Of you are
fools! And you surely will be if you follow the

&4&~.A
Reversed Prayers
By JORGE

Some people who think they are atheists give
us pain in the neck I'VE are not TESTING" thew
say, in proposing that there be "Blameg1yinv
Day. against a Thanksgiving Day." Such is
the bright idea of the American Association for
the Advancement of Atheism
There has been drouth they say Also un-
employment. Quite true. They add: "The
cropless farmers and jobless workers are not at
fault" True again. And certainly it is a mockery
to set aside day to give thanks to God" for
blessings which they have not received"
But it is equally stupid to give thanks to God
if they did receive them. So the mere baSinx
of atheist argument on the absence of blessings
is a prayer turned wrong side out
And basicaly the whole proposal is brilliant
example of bourgeois stupidity posing as atheism.
They say the ''cropless' farmers are not to blame
for their poverty And that God is, because he
sent no rain. This is a recognition, not denial
of God
And what about the farmers who got plenty
of rain and harvested abundant crops, but cannot
sell them? How do these bourgeois atheists
allot the blame in this case? They don't. They
just dodge the question
If they were not soaked in bourgeois Ignorance,
they would know that the "drouth stricken"
farmers were stricken year after year before the
drouth came, by rack rents, by debts, by taxes.
by monopoly control of everything they buy and
sell.
They would know that if it we're not for thess
previous robberies, the farmers could have en-
dured the drouth That if it were not a require
ment of capitalist blood-sucking, that even with
the drouth finding them as it did, already robbed
and impoverished, the farmers would have been
freely given all necessary relief just they are
given it in the Soviet Union in such emergencies.
OF course the jobless workers ARE not at fault"
But who is? These bourgeois atheists say it
must be God-the God which they deny existsl
And they appeal to every lover Of logic" to sup
port this nonsense!
Being bourgeois, they do not admit that the
bourgeoisie is to blame. They ignore capitalist
property relations, the wage slavery Of capitalism
and its inevitable result in unemployment for
workers and impoverishment of toiling farmers,
and return to religion standing it on its head
and calling it "logic"
AS we said before, they are not atheists, but
bourgeois; and they give us pain in the neck.

Pnebane for May Day
With Daily Worker
BY HARRY CANNES.

THIS May Day sees the drive against the wages
of those workers who still have Jobs left
raised to higher pitch. The entire capitalist
press is yelping for pay cuts. Unemployed work.
ers are closer to the starvation level We see
the socialists" getting active to stave off mill
tant action Of the workers against capitalism
1t does not require much argument to con-
vince the revolutionary workers of the necessity
of spreading the Daily Worker to mobilize for
May Day. But because this has become a "rou-
tine" matter many overlook the importance of
increasing the circulation of the Daily Worker
as means of rallying hundreds of thousands
for May Day around the concrete issues of the
every day struggle
The workers are hungry for news of the fight
against capitalism. They want way out, a road
OF struggle against wage cuts This informa-
ton is contained in the Daily Worker May Day
will be a rallying point for these fights uniting
all the revolutionary workers throughout the
world, in mighty protest and fight against
capitalism.
All workers must know what May Day stands
for. They can be drawn into struggle. And the
Daily Worker is the best single means of doing
It, 1t must be distributed in the shops to get
workers to lay down tools and participate in
demonstrations; in the breadlines. on the streets
at workers homes, to organize the unemployed
to demonstrate for employment relief and insur-
ance; to secure the participation of all workers
organizations and working class neighborhoods,
and to draw them to the rallying centers OF revo-
lutionary struggle on May Day.

the record of the Boot and Shoe. The same
applies to the Shoe Workers Protective Union;

Shoe centers where they were active
The only union in the field that is leading
the Shoe workers into struggle for better cond-

Shoe Workers Union, has proven its militancy
and sincerity through the periods of bitter strug-

field OF battle-constantly calling, urging the
shoe workers to join its ranks, and once again
to fight mlitantly to improve the conditions in
the shops.
New Phase-New Methods of Struggle
Old structure of organization, old methods of
work no longer serve~the purpose. Activity in
shop without building a shop committee is
no longer a successful method of organization.
Instances where shop committees have offered
serious resistance to the vicious demands of the
bosses are numerous. The aim and practice of
the & L w U is-a shop committee in every
shop. Many workers have vague idea of what
Shop Committee is and what is it's function
therefore the underestmaton of it's Importance.
At the meetings and Open Forumss conducted
by the & L w u the new methods of Or
ganization-the Shop Committees constantly
being explained to the workers. The Shoe work.
ers must adapt themselves to it. Grievances
arising in the shop must be taken up by the
Shop Committees. The best and most trust
worthy elements in shop are the ones to form
the shop committee which shall be in constant
and close contact with the Union.
Clarifying the past and moaning over the
present will not solve our problem. The condi-
tions in the shops a driving force towards
building militant organization. The only way
to resist the lowering of the standard of living
and to re-establish decent conditions in the
shops is to make united effort and to build

On Things Cultural

The organization of the John Reed Club OF
Detroit proceeds apace, we are told, and it il
added that all aspiring applicants who know
on which side of the class struggle the writer's
artists, and other cultural workers belong should
ring up or write to Bob Cruden at 1899 Eason
Avenue.
BY the way, the Workers Laboratory Theatre
address 1913 West 18th ST.. New York;, says
it wants working class plays, short skits, and so
on. 1t seems that demands are coming in from
various parts of this benighted land for revolu-
tionary plays.
The boys and girls that are called "intel-
lectuals" have place in the revolutionary move
ment. But it's mostly an empty chair They
will have to shed the dirt of bohemianism (Which
is bourgeois dirt) and the faint of cynicism
(Which also comes from the bourgeoisie)
Benighted land is right! OF course, there are
reasons for it, but it's high time that the Amer

novels and plays and short stories rejecting
what richness Of struggle there is in the life
OF the American working class both past and

CONDITIONS in the shops are ripe for organ
ization. A tendency on the part of the en-
ployers to lower the living conditions of the
workers is constantly in progress, a tendency
from which the Shoe manufacturers are not
excluded. The reports issued by the State and
Federal agencies show that payroll is decreasing
faster than employment; while employment
dropped 10 per cent, wages have dropped Is
per cent. Lengthening the hours, speeding up
the workers. cutting wages-is the bosses solu-
ton for the crisis Despite the fact that the
cost of living has dropped but very slightly
wages as low as So to 81 per day for to 10

workers are subjected in the shops and clamor-

Shoe workers in every shop. The greed of the
employers for profits at the expense of the

methods must be applied in order to lead the
