Soldiers and HOusemaids

"Ruffians in the uniform of the U. S. Army"
according to the claims of an unnamed "adver-
Using man." published in the San Francisco
press, are -terrorizing women" around the Army
post known as Preside.
Since the said advertising man" is undoubt-
edly a 100 per cent upholder of capitalism, it ill
becomes him to complain at the logical actions
of armed forces capitalism keeps to repress the
working class at home and colonial slaves abroad
Nevertheless, this advertising man is sore. He
says that two soldiers attempted to seize" his
wife; that soldiers have entered his basement
many times and that recently a soldier tried to
drag one of his housemaids into vacant lot
surely trespass on privileges with housemaids
which respectable capitalists reserve for them
selves.
The answer of the Preside commandant is
that the soldiers would be perfect gentlemen if
they were not corrupted by fringe of joints"
around the post
So he passes the buck to the police The
"joints" have been there for Is years. rain, shine
or prohibition. All of which, along with the at
tacks on wandering housemaids, will keep up as
long capitalism lasts because it requires
Joints" as well as army posts. The best we can
think Of is to advise the advertising man to get
his housemaid's honor" insured by Lloyds.

THE HUNGER GOVERNMENT
AND ITS BOSSES

undertake to feed the people. If it finds
condition of famine likely to produce disease,
it does what is necessary to forestall the suf
fering that attends disease"
So workers, according to this capitalist au-
thority, the government should let the unem-
ployed workers and the poverty stricken farm
ers Starve. The toiling masses must be ''loyal'
to the government. But the government is loyal
only to the interests of the capitalist class!
Even the Red Cross does not exist in order
to save the lives of the starving toilers from
death by starvation. Not at all! 1t exists only
to see that when the workers and poor farmers
die of starvation, the diseases created by their
dead bodies does not spoil the air for the capt.
talist claSs To see that the diseases created
by the starvation of the poor do not spread out
and make the capitalists sick!
The Commercial and Financial Chronicle"
ends its editorial by giving instructions to the
capitalist government:
I'm no wise should the government, that
part of it denominated the Legislative Branch,
accept an assumed power implied duty
to abolish or alleviate poverty"
Workers! The capitalists and their govern
nlent are preparing to resist your demand for
unemployment insurance. Farmers The CAPT
talists and their government will fight against
giving you any real relief from starvation and
diseased! All the chatter of capitalist politicians
to the contrary are only words to fool you!
Unless millions of workers and farmers want
to starve they must fight! Fight for Unemploy-
ment Insurance on February 10 and after Fight
for substantial relief for the starving poor farm
ers! Organize in Unemployed Councils; in
Farmers Relief Councils! And unite your strug-
giles into such a powerful mass force that the
capitalists and their government grant your de-
mand! There is no other way

Railroad Men Indorse Jobless
Insurance Bill

g. The organization of railroad unemployed
councils in all railroad centers and the beginning
of campaign for quarter of million sigma
lures of railroad men for the bill.
4 Pending the passage of the bill that i'm
mediate emergency relief be granted the unem-
ployed and that the burden of providing this
relief be taken entirely off the shoulders of the
working class and be placed upon industry, the
capitalist class and the government, where 1t
rightfuly belongs.
s. That national movement be launched on
the railroads unitcl front of all railroad work
ers, to organize and fight for the 6-hour day
and for unemployment insurance, and at the
same time to combat the present program of the
companies and union officials to reduce hours
of work and reduce wages accordingly.
g. That the preparation be Immediately begun
for the calling of National Rank and File
6-Hour Day Conference, to be held in Chicago
at the earliest possible date, for the purpose of
uniting the railroad workers throughout the
United States into one solid front, and to lay
further plans to enforce the above demands.
T. To this end, that local. system and district
conferences be called in order to acquaint the
rank and file with this movement for 6-hour
day committees, establish joint railroad councils
of all trades and organize the unemployed and
part time railroad workers in support of this
movement"
Nothing short of the universal establishment
on the railroads of the 6-hour day, with no re-
duction IN wages and the payment of unemploy-
ment insurance to the men laid off will come
anywhere near meeting the unemployment situa-
ton confronting railroad labor. Thousands Of
railroad workers families are in dire need Of
immediate unemployment relief. Let every rail-
road man, employed and unemployed, Negro and
white, who is alive to the situation, rally to this
movement The distribution of the Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill leaflet, the organization Of
railroad unemployed councils, the election OF
delegates to the City Campaign Committees for
Unemployment Insurance, and the drive for sig-
natures, must be pushed with all possible speed.
Copies of the leaflet with endorsement blank
and outline for the building of local unemployed
councils can be had by writing to the National
Office Of the N. r. L L., Room 9. 7o2 T. 63rd

Another ella Monster

about 200 employees of the New Mexico divi-
sion of the Santa Fe Railroad were in at
tendance at maintenance of way meeting at
the Santa Fe shops here Saturday. Mayor Clyde
Tingley made Commute talk, stressing 10y
atty to the employer From the New Mexico
State Tribune, albuquerque New Mexico, Jan. 10.
In case some of our readers never met the
varmint known as a ella Monster, we specify
that it is kind of lizard, ugly as sin and with
bite so poisonous that one nip will sure send
you gathering asphodels beyond the Styx.
The critter is so darned lazy, however. that
a fellow has almost to stick finger in its
mouth before it gets up energy enough to bite.
We never tried that, of course, preferring to bat
the beast over the head with a monkey wrench.
It seems that the Santa Fe Railroad insisted
that 200 of its workers try the finger treatment.
But we'll bet the IS wages we got last week that
some of the 200 boys itched to try the monkey
wrench application.

Abstractions in Stone
By JORGE

In downtown New York there is monument
to "Civic/Virtue" erected by the Tammany adj
ministration There it stands out in the rain,
with it's marble posterior turned significantly
toward Mayor Walkers office in the City Hall,
and with fixed stare glowering toward the U.
S. Post Office.
We were reminded of it when we read that
in Detroit at a meeting of the Civil Liberties
Union where that astonishing organization OF
liberals" preached the plan to erect monu-
ment in concrete of Civil Liberty in the public
square, none other than the demagogic mayor,
Mr. Murphy being overcome with emotion, swore
that by all the gods at once he would pay for
having it done in marbel
Really, this is too much! AS a famous visitor
to America once said when gazing on the Statue
of Liberty: "Ah, see that you too, erect monu-
ments to the dead!"
The further away from reality capitalism
takes Civic Virtue" and "Ciyil Liberty" the
more enthusiastic do all the demagogs Of de-
veloping fascism become in building marble
monuments to these distractions.
That the Civil Liberties Union should celebrate
the occasion adds, perhaps, only a sauce OF
hilarious laughter at the antics of these choice
specimens of fetish worshipers.

THE government is an instrument of the capt.
talist class to insure that the robbers will
not be overthrow by the robbed.
If you workers, doubt this. then read what
one Of the biggest journals published by and for
the biggest capitalists, says. 1t is 1.-THE Com
mercal and Financial Chronicle" which you
never see and about which your tabloid daily
papers with their daily dish of scandals never
tell you.
The Commercial and Financial Chronicle"
discusses things as among capitalists. 1t talks
about what capitalists and their capitalist gov
eminent should do or should not do But al
ways from the viewpoint as to whether this or
that policy will help the capitalists.
There isn't any bunk in it about the capital
lists being interested in helping the working
class That kind of hokum is left for the
papers you read every day, the regular daily
papers, the tabloids, the popular magazines
The Commercial and Financial Chronicle"
therefore in it's editorial of Jan. "a speaks very
frankly about the capitalist government. You.
workers. are supposed to be loyal to the gov
eminent. But do the capitalists who control
the government figure that you workers should
egt anything in return? Not at all!
Millions of jobleSS workers are slowly Starv-
ing Well then what does the Commercial

eminent should do about it? The answer is:

ORGANIZE FOR 6-HOUR DAY WITH
s HOURS PAY

WITH 260.0G0 men laid eff during the past II
" months and an equal number put on short
time unemployment has hit the railroad work
eTs with terrific force. The merging of q East
ern roads into four trunk lines now taking place,
which is the first step in a national plan TO coll
solidate the 100 railroads in the United States
into dozen gigantic systems, with the unifica-
ton of terminals, shops yards and division
points. means that tens of thousands more rail-
road workers will be sentenced to permanent
unemployment.
BY the introduction of new naturalization
processes and speed-up methods one train crew
today does the work that was formerly done by
two or three crews. Likewise in other branches
of the service the productivity of the average
railroad worker has doubled, compared with 10
or Is years ago. All roads are now rapidly in
shutting the stagger system. This is taking on
various forms, such as periodical layoffs. the
3-day week, two weeks on and two weeks off,
equal division Of work." which is resulting in
vast numbers of railroad workers being put on
part time. Another variation of the railroad
stagger system is to compel the employed to
maintain the unemployed by contributing one
days wages per month to the companies fake
relief plans. This vicious wage-cutting scheme
is Endorsed and supported by the officialdom of
the A. F. of L. and Brotherhood organizations,
in fact, they have become the chief instruments
by which the stagger system is being forced upon
the men.
Against this organized hunger system the Ma
tional Railroad Industrial League has launched
nationwide campaign for the Unemployment
Insurance Bill and for the establishment on the
railroads Of the 6-hour day with full pay. The
basis of this campaign was laid at the Chicago
Rank and File Conference, held ON Nov l6.
which went on record for the following organiza-
ton program:
II. The establishment of the 6-hour day and
5-day week. with no reduction in present 8-hour
weekly earnings.
2. Endorsement OF the Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill providing for the payment Of insurance
to the unemployed workers and demanding its
enactment by the coming session Of Congress.
